Excellent.

From start to finish, Rachel was so kind and helpful, always checking in and doing her absolute best to get our sofa delivered as quickly as possible as we had a young baby at home!

Also, the team who delivered the sofa from the north east were so lovely too and helped in so many ways, since I was recovering from a c-section and couldn’t do much.

Sofa purchased for a holiday let

Sofa purchased for a holiday let. We were assured by DFS that the sofa would fit in the house and that delivery would be on a Saturday - change over day. So…. the sofa was delivered on a Saturday but the delivery men could not fit the sofa through the front door. Note we had got rid of the old sofa in the morning and now had no sofa for our guests due to arrive in couple hours as they had to take our new sofa back to the depot. To cut a long story short the delivery men did not remove the head rests which was the reason it would not fit in the house. If that had been done there would have been no problem. Trying to get a new quick delivery date had been trying to get to the moon and back ‘mission impossible’. I would have assumed that due to this being a mistake from the delivery firm and DFS that they would have done as much as possible to rectify this issue. So sofa now being delivered on a Sunday ( 6 days later) which is affecting now 2 sets of guests and the day we are supposed to be attending a wedding. The after care service from DFS is atrocious all DFS want to sell you the sofa then after that you get what you can with service. I am mentally drained in trying to get this issue resolve.

Thank you for your kind response - I will contact the complaints line. Discussed access into the house with DFS and please be assured that the detail with the complaint is entirely the responsibility of DFS and the delivery firm. As noted this was due to the drivers not being briefed on the dismantling of the headrests nothing other than that I’m afraid - not the customers responsibility. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Hello Clare,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We appreciate all feedback and we are very sorry to hear you're not happy.

I am sorry to hear you have had a will not fit delivery, when this does occur it is unfortunate but not unusual. When this happens, the process would be to take the goods back to the distribution centre and arrange a second attempt at your delivery with a more skilled team, if we can take the sofa apart further we will do so. It is the customers responsibility to ensure the goods do fit as DFS have not been out to the home nor seen the entry way to confirm if the furniture is likely to fit. We understand this is a frustrating situation and we do sincerely apologise.

Unfortunately, as no order reference number has been provided we are unable to locate your order. However, if you would like to discuss this matter further please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team on 03339999777.

Kind regards,

Sales manager misinformed me about…

Sales manager misinformed me about delivery times and that was my basis of buying furniture that it will be delivered in under 7 days but it’s over two weeks and never informed that the furniture will be delivered on separate dates even though it was one unit. This was designed just to get the sale through which is really misleading, ended up buying new furniture on line and was delivered in 72 hrs. Very disgruntled and now stuck with furniture I will not need

Good morning George,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us, we are really sorry to hear you feel you were provided with incorrect information regarding the delivery of your furniture. Due to the products being provided by different suppliers the furniture is delivered separately, we can confirm delivery of the bed is due to take place this week and we are in the process of confirming delivery for your mattress too. Whilst we do aim to delivery within the advised 7 day delivery time frame, due to logistics and planning this is not always possible and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Kind Regards,

Browsing for a couch and it was lovely to be spoken to by all staff in the premises but not to feel pressured. Bethany spoke to us when she could see we were trying to decide between 2 ranges and she was lovely, explaining the differences and similarities and allowing us the time to make our decision . Bethany was also very knowledgeable about the ranges and had that lovely mix of being personable, chatty, helpful but not pressuring - she made purchasing our new couches a pleasurable experience and would highly recommend her.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and plenty of time given to make our minds up.
Only one downside…… she could have thrown in the gorgeous ostrich lamp 😉
