Good information from the shop

Good information from the shop in Bathgate, west lothian, Scotland.. about the type ,size, and covering of the chairs. I chose a Hamilton swivel chair in leather and a walnut frame, (large size )
A bit disappointing with amount of padding in the arms back and seat. Not as comfortable as I thought it would be as I use it in the sitting room, that is why the 4 star the one in the shop was better..But ok for the price

Very Satisfied Customer

Excellent Customer Service from start to finish. The work people who installed the corner sofa were polite & showed respect for the property. Efficient & practical.
I would certainly recommend your company to others. Quality of the furniture is well worth the money spent. A very satisfied customer.

We were seen by Julie

We were seen by Julie, who made us feel welcome and was both knowledgable about the riser recliners and able to advise on the best ‘ fit’ for my husband’s height and needs.

Two seater settee

Excellent service from the initial phone call to visiting the Bath shop where I selected my two seater settee. Would happily recommend HSL. Not a robot in sight!!!

Fabulous products and Exceptional Service!

Mine was a casual visit to the Bath showroom, just to browse and think about buying a recliner. I have recently moved to Bath and downsized to a smaller flat. My sofa is fine but my present 'comfy' chair is not so comfy any more... and it paled into redundancy against the excellence of the HSL range. Sue Wood is the manager of the Bath branch. Over the next 2 hours, on and off, we talked chairs and styles, comfort and specifics, until I virtually BEGGED her to order me the beautiful chair I simply did not want to leave. HSL do not use a commission basis for selling. Sue is an expert because she has been trained by HSL and has many years experience with them. She showed great interest in me as a customer and went out of her way to answer every question, but with absolutely no pressure. I felt like we were trying to match me with a chair I would love and enjoy for many many years. This is 'old-fashioned' excellence in Customer Service! I enjoyed the experience very much! So, thank you, Sue... and well done, HSL, for nurturing sales staff who love your beautiful chairs, sofas and beds and sell them with such joy.

I took my reluctant husband to Bath showroom today for his new chair. Pleased to say Julie and Tammy were excellent and he will be getting his new Stressless chair on Wednesday morning. Brilliant service all round and special thanks to Julie who remembered me from last year when I had my new chair. I would highly recommend the service received at the Bath store, thank you

We decided to treat ourselves.......

After 55 years of marriage we decided we would treat ourselves to a new settee. We visited both Bristol and Bath stores and after great thought, and I feel, research we ordered two settees from the Bath store. Sue and Jennie were so helpful and that is why I have given it one star. They knew we were decorating and delayed the delivery date to accommodate this. The settees were delivered. The reclining settee came minus the necessary bolts and splitter cable although the driver found some 'spares' in his van. Once the settees were put together it was obvious there were some issues as the two halves of both settees didn't line up and there was a flaw in the material on one of the seats. The drivers were unable to rectify and reported back to the office. There was prompt response from the office who arranged to send a technician out to view and correct. The technician arrived and dealt with the flaw but was unable to level up the two halves of the settees. He concluded that there was no action to be taken as all issues which caused the two halves not to line up with each other was within their tolerance levels. We were still not happy so arranged for another technician to call and inspect. He was able to level up the recliner settee as it would appear it had not been bolted together correctly. The static settee however still did not align and remains one side higher than the other and therefore all stitching on the cushions are out of alignment with each other.
We asked for the settees to be replaced, but HSL hide behind this 'tolerance' label and say there is nothing more they can do.
Sadly, paying what we did for these two settees which wasn't cheap, we feel very disappointed. Regretfully we must now live with the disappointment of HSL not living up to the standards of workmanship we expected from such a respected company. Obviously our expectations did not match HSL’s standard of production. We expected perfection and sadly we didn’t get it.
Having been brought up in a family of upholsterers and soft furnishing experts I did know what I expected and now we have to live with these settees that did not meet our expectations at all.
Our order was placed in November 2024 and it has taken this long to reach a 'conclusion'.

Reply from HSL Chairs - Bath

**Update**
Good afternoon Mr Hurley,
I am sorry that you are unhappy with your HSL furniture.
I have reviewed your account and I do feel that HSL have made every effort to address your concerns.
I can see that we have arranged for 2 technician inspections of your furniture.
On the first visit to rectify a small fabric flaw and adjust the alignment of the recliner sofa.
The second visit at your request to re-inspect the alignment. This was confirmed to now be correct and all aspects of the sofas to be within tolerance.
I can also see that we have advised that if you wished to obtain your own independent inspection and this reached a different conclusion we would look again at your concerns.

Kind Regards,
Simon Watson
Customer Care Team Leader

Good Evening Mr Hurley

Thank you for your review, I want to apologise your new HSL furniture has not arrived to the high standard we would expect, i would like to personally look in to your account further. Would you kindly email me your order details or a contact number so I can investigate further and contact you with a suitable resolution.
Kind regards

Take your time

Very helpful staff in the Bath showroom. We went there on 2 occasions and on both times we had plenty of time to choose our sofa and chair. The second time was to choose the materials which takes a while but we were never rushed. Friendly and constructive advice and a cup of tea! Different staff on the 2 occassions - equally helpful.

Staff were very welcoming & carefully sized me up for the correct size of chair.
They ensured my knee & ankles were correctly supported along with my neck. Interestingly a Grande chair was found to be the best fit.
Coffee & biscuits were very nice too!
