Ciao Gail,

I hope you are well.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and for the feedback regarding your experience.

I am very sorry that the lead time for your delivery was longer than you may have hoped for when the order was placed.
All of our furniture is fully made to order and so we do advise that any dates are estimated and can change.

Thank you for the great feedback regarding the delivery crew and we are pleased to see that you are happy with your new furniture.

Kind regards,

Great customer experience.

We visited the store at Westwood Cross. We were looking for a new sofa (or two!). No pressure whilst browsing but staff were attentive if any help needed. We made a selection but needed to go home and measure. We returned a week later but Penny remembered what we had been looking at. Patiently answered more questions and finally assisted us in ordering with great advice and recommendations. Looking forward to delivery now.

We were both very pleasantly surprised on entering the store and genuinely not expecting to purchase a sofa on the day.
Clean and with a very pleasant aroma and a quick welcome that was not obtrusive
Friendly advice and non hurried approach to selling.

Really impressed with the choice and eventually found our perfect sofa after elimination between four!!!

Our sales person (Penny ) was absolutely excellent and had fabulous communication skills.
Very knowledgeable indeed

Recommend 😊

The good thing was the staff didn't rush over to us as soon as we walked into the shop.
They let us look around first, and they waited for us to make contact with them. This goes a long way in my book.

After making contact, Craig was very helpful and knowledgeable about your furniture. Colours, fabric, mechanism for recliners, everything went so smoothly.

We didn't actually go into the Westwood store to buy straight away. However after spending around 20 minutes looking and hearing about the furniture, we left having bought a 3 piece suite.

Thank you for such a great visit. I will be telling friends and family how good our visit was.

First class service, friendly, welcoming company.

The service is excellent. Martin was a great help and not pushy, a very relaxed atmosphere in the store as a whole. Martin was very thorough informing us about how we could choose any fabric for any piece of furniture ( brilliant idea) and also the detailing of ordering, delivery and extras insurance...a good shopping experience .

Hidden costs spoilt experience completely

Service in shop was fine--Aaron very helpful. What I really disliked was the hidden costs of both delivery and material change on my order which was not revealed until the end of the payment process when I was already psychologically committed. The AA have just been fined for doing exactly this with their driving school booking system (£5m). I saw no signs advertising these costs in store -- only the headline prices. You might want to reconsider this process which feels duplicitous.

Good Morning,

I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

I’m sorry to see that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion regarding the delivery and material change costs and appreciate how disappointing it must have been if this was only communicated towards the end of the process.

We certainly never want customers to feel misled and I will ensure your feedback is shared with the relevant teams for review and to help us improve our customer experience moving forward.

We appreciate your order with us and the team will reach out once this is ready for delivery.
If you have any questions in the meantime you can reach the store on 0191 7313300.

Kind regards,

Friendly, helpful service

We saw Stephen in the Thanet branch. He provided a very helpful service and was patient as we measured various things, offering advice and guidance accordingly. He took time to explain the benefits of certain aspects of the sofas, materials and warranty plans available, without being pushy.

Great delivery experience

Communication regarding delivery was good I received emails and texts to inform me of delivery day and time and kept up to date with progress on the day
The delivery crew Perry and Taylor along with another team member worked quickly and efficiently with minimal interruption to our home and lives

Excellent (and patient!) service.

Excellent (and patient!) service from Penny at the Westwood Cross branch. We didn’t feel rushed into making a decision and she even helped me to download the finance agreement app and register for the first time when I was ‘all fingers and thumbs’. Five star service indeed!
