Disappointing from a company I had previously rated positively

I previously purchased a sofa from Sterling Home and spent a considerable amount of money there. At the time of purchase, I was asked by the salesman to leave a review on Trustpilot, which I did, and my experience then was positive.

Unfortunately, my recent experience with their flooring service has been completely different.

I arranged for an estimator to visit my home to quote for click flooring in my kitchen. He arrived around 15 minutes late and spent much of the appointment humming and hawing about various things in the kitchen. However, at no point did he tell me that the job could not be done. I was left with the clear impression that a quote would be sent.

Instead, I later received an email saying they would not be able to install click flooring because of the weight of my American-style fridge/freezer, claiming that the weight could cause problems with a floating floor. I was also told that the subfloor would need screeding but that this too was somehow restricted because of the fridge/freezer, which had been sitting in exactly the same place throughout the estimator's visit and was hardly a surprise.

If this was genuinely such a fundamental issue, why was it not mentioned during the appointment? Why arrange and carry out an estimator's visit, only to send what feels like an excuse for not quoting afterwards?

I emailed Sterling Home to express how disappointed I was with the poor service and the explanation given. To date, I have not even had the courtesy of a reply.

Having previously been encouraged to leave a positive Trustpilot review after purchasing my sofa, I feel it is only fair to now share my experience of the other side of their customer service.

Very disappointing. I will not be returning for future purchases or projects, and I certainly won't be recommending their flooring service to friends or family.

Good Morning Lorraine,

Thank you for your feedback and for your previous custom with Sterling Home.

We're sorry that your recent experience with our flooring service did not match the positive experience you had when purchasing your furniture.

Unfortunately, there appears to have been valid reasons why we were unable to install the flooring in your home, and regrettably this meant we could not proceed with a quotation.

We appreciate your comments regarding the communication around this and we have passed your feedback on to the Flooring Manager in Aberdeen for review and to respond to your email.

Kind Regards,
The Sterling Home Team

Portento Bedframe with Upholstered…

Portento Bedframe with Upholstered Headboard and LED Light

We ordered the bed above and paid for the premium delivery and assembly service. In spite of this, the bed was delivered without slats or a bed frame. The bed was £1600 and the premium delivery was in excess of £120.

We have yet to receive the slats and have been forced to sleep without a bed frame as a result. At no point did Sterling advise the bed would not come with a frame and we are yet to receive the bed frame despite delivery having taken place on 7 August (and the order having been paid for in full in early July).

We have simply been told there was an issue with Sterling's order system and that the manufacturer was closed and uncontactable for the entirety of August. As such, we were advised we just have to wait an indefinite time period for Sterling to put things right.

I would not recommend Sterling now as we were paying for quality product and a quality customer service and we remain without the use of our bed.

Sofa Shopping

Went into to Sterling a good few months ago for a look around and was seen to straight away. Matt was very helpful and helped me when I decided on a sofa. I didn’t buy the sofa then but came back recently and was again seen to by Matt as he remembered me from my last visit and made the purchase with his help. Very friendly service and made very easy by staff.

Excellent customer experience

Visited garden centre at Sterling Tillicoultry and was assisted by sales lady Sharon who was extremely helpful, answering questions and measuring sizes.
Sharon was very patient and nothing was too much trouble.
As we were unsure on our sizes, she sent us a quote with details that we could access later at our convenience.
Once home, I had several follow up questions and called the garden centre a number of times. Every time, Sharon called me back and went out her way to find out answers to my questions.
The follow up for process from her has also been very pleasing.
This experience has left a favourable impression.
Sterling this is excellent customer service that you should be proud.
