Super sofa store!

We visited the Sofa company store in Bolton looking for a corner sofa. A really lovely, clean store with lots of different styles and fabrics. We never felt pressured as we had in visits to the other local stores. The staff we very friendly and extremely helpful. We now have our lovely new sofa on order! Highly recommended.

Efficient company

Placed a chair order which was efficiently followed up by a telephone call advising of when it would be dispatched. No problems at all, very prompt and good product at a good price.

Sit back and relax with The Sofa Company

The Sofa Company, at the time of purchase, were superb. The website is well designed and easy-to-use. The customer service staff I spoke to following my purchase were superb - friendly, professional, and extremely helpful.

I feel that, while this is of extreme importance when considering future purchases and recommendations, after-sales service is equally as important. The Sofa Company, again, excelled.

I did have an issue with my chair after a year of use; however, the process of resolving the issue was handled superbly by The Sofa Company. They were extremely apologetic, and couldn't do enough to ensure I was happy with the outcome. Exemplary staff and service.

I can 100% recommend The Sofa Company.

Beautiful sofas

Beautiful sofas. From ordering,to shipping, to delivery, everything went smoothly. Would highly recommend this company, because what you see on their website is exactly what you get when you purchase a sofa!

Nothing too much trouble

I ordered 2 swivel chairs and they needed delivery to the Isle of Man. The help and guidance I received was excellent, as were the updates of the delivery to the Manx carrier in Lancashire.
The chairs are as described, comfortable and solid. Lee especially was very helpful with the minor issue we had post delivery in the Isle of Man. Lee went out of his way to help us. Highly recommended

Can't fault the company and it's…

Can't fault the company and it's delivery contractor. Everything went smoothly, but the ayston sofa I bought is just about the most uncomfortable sofa I have ever known . I find it unusable, such is the discomfort. The lesson I suppose is to buy from a store where you can try first.

Avoid…

Firstly their customer services representatives are excellent. But I ordered 2 swivel recliners, one arrived broken and while the other one was fine, the quality of the chair was extremely poor. The chairs were not well packaged, so it’s not surprising one was damaged in transit.

I received a refund for the broken chair without any issues at all, as I said previously the customer service representatives were excellent.

But I’m very surprised at the mainly positive reviews as the quality of the furniture was not good at all. Very thin leather and very little cushioning on the chairs.

I’d recommend spending that bit extra and sourcing your furniture elsewhere. They say you get what you pay for, so maybe I shouldn’t have expected much. But on the whole extremely disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, we're genuinely glad our customer service team looked after you so well when the issue with the damaged chair was raised.

We're sorry the chairs weren't right for you. Swivel recliners are one of our longest standing product lines, one of which we receive extremely positive feedback on, so feedback like this is always taken seriously. With over 2,500 reviews at the time of writing, with most of our customers rating us 5 stars, we're confident that most people are delighted with what they receive. Of course that doesn't make your experience any less valid, and we'd never want anyone to feel disappointed.

We do think it's worth noting that Trustpilot reviews are intended to reflect the overall experience, including how any issues are handled. Given that you received a full refund quickly and found our customer service team excellent, we'd gently suggest that a 1-star rating may not tell the full story of your purchase with us. Of course, that's entirely your opinion and we respect that.

On the packaging point specifically, we do continually review how our products are protected in transit and have excellent relationships with our couriers. On this occasion we're sorry one of your chairs didn't arrive in perfect condition.

If you'd ever like to discuss your experience further, or if there's anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Recliner chair arrived promptly

Recliner chair arrived promptly. However, it soon became apparent that the motor was defective. Sofa Company were very quick to rectify the situation and dispatched a replacement motor that I was able to fit myself. Otherwise, a happy customer.

Ordered two recliners

Ordered two recliners. When opened one was the wrong style. Called and correct one was delivered the next day no issues. Easy to put together. Decent (stiff swivel bearings) quality for the price

Nice sofas, awful delivery.

The sofas were decent and reasonable value. The sub contracted delivery company were complete clowns. Firstly they couldn't find our house and took about an hour of circling round before they found us. Secondly they were in a mad rush to get off again. I had to point out that they hadn't screwed the feet on properly and then they put the sofa back in crooked. It was stuck fast. Wouldn't go in or come out. They asked my wife and I to sit on the arms whilst they tried to yank it free. After 20 minutes they said they'd return it and we could have another one. I suggested using the handle of my large hammer to lever it apart and this worked. I then suggested putting soap on the slotted guides and when I did this, the back went in no problem. I received no thanks for my help and they left in a hurry with packaging materials strewn across the floor. How rude!

Dear Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, and thanks for taking my call earlier.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry the delivery was problematic. We'll address this with the delivery company to improve their service and navigation. We regret the installation issues and the lack of courtesy you experienced. We're taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again.
