Shame you can't add no stars
Shame you can't add no stars. Found an excuse for anything. Furniture arrived damaged. Had the nerve to say and I quote "any damage to it isn’t considered a manufacturing fault, delivery damage, or grounds for rejection."
So good luck with damaged furniture. Got delivered within 10 days from being told custom made - not possible - reduced cost but due to quicks build (yeah right) won't honour discounted price even though I asked for discount before purchasing.
Told once a week to turn and plump cushions. Can't be turned as fabric does not cover all way around.
Basically lies, lies, false promises and lies, shady and unprofessional sales teams and customer support.
Now seeking legal avenues to resolve this due to their refusal to discuss sensibly.

Lewis was great in every way
Lewis was great in every way, gave us all the info we needed, wasn’t pushy at all. Was great with our unruly kids as well which is always a bonus!
Would recommend anyone to your store because of him.

We had been planning to upgrade our old corner unit for a while, and decided that today was the day 03/08/26. Chose DFS metro retail park had a look around with no pressure or hard sell just us at our own pace.When we had made our choice then a member of staff became involved again with no pressure and no you must have this,that, or the other.
All done and dusted in about forty minutes,paid for delivery date set and all parties happy the kind of service we like and again no pressure,just freedom to make our own decision.
