Just told 2 months delay for delivery. Not happy.

Furniture ordered supposed to arrive in mid- late August, just had an email to say it will now be well into October before possible delivery. Very disappointing.

Great Service from Matt in Bridge of Don

We saw the perfect sofa and got to customise it how we wanted to. There happened to be a great deal on and Matt was so helpful. He gave us all the options and made it a very smooth process.

Excellent sales attendant

We were at Sterlings mid afternoon on 12th August. The shop was quiet and we were there to purchase 2 new beds.
Our assistant Evija Rube was first class. Knowledgeable about the products, had excellent customer service, allowed us time to decide between options and gave us great suggestions. We can honestly say she has probably been one of the best sales assistants we’ve ever had and it made our purchase a pleasurable experience.

Staff were polite

Staff were polite, rather a long wait for item ordered. Did not appreciate being forced into large amount charged for delivery, after nearly not ordering they said we could just have delivery and not all packaging removed, we are capable of doing this and don’t require anyone to do it whilst being made to pay, then the hard sell of protection, this adds hundred of pounds to your order, all I wanted was the sofa not added extras, just hope it gets delivered on time and is in perfect condition
