Staff were knowledgeable about the products but left us to make our choices at our own pace, their tech for placing our order and credit financing was a bit clunky though, and when we amended the order I had to go back to the store (50 minutes drive) which was annoying

The service was EXCEPTIONAL AND WE GIVEN ALOT OF HELP FROM AN ASSISTANT Who helped us choose the right sofa for us
Farnborough ScS / Poltronesofa
I knew which sofa I was interested in before I visited the Farnborough ScS store. I was approached by Maria who explained about the new look store, etc, but also stressed there would be no hard sell and to let someone know if I needed assistance.
Had a look around the showroom but couldn't find what I was looking for so asked Maria for help who knew exactly where to find it!
Choosing the combination and colour of the sofas was easy with Maria's help as was paying the deposit, etc.
When I made the rest of the payment nearer the delivery date, I was able to choose when I wanted my furniture delivered which was a huge bonus.
The delivery team - Neville and Liam - kept me up to date from the evening before the delivery with an ETA and on the day called to inform me that they were an hour away, which was very helpful.
The team arrived on time, were efficient and professional, had the sofa installed and packaging removed in no time at all!
Altogether, a brilliant experience, great service and truly amazing staff; Maria in store who was funny, knowledgeable and obviously loves her job, Liam and Neville who kept me informed and were prompt and efficient as well as being approved of by two nervous dogs!
The only "negatives" would be that owing to being made to order, the furniture took 12 weeks to arrive and that ScS don't offer a sofa removal service for the old items. Otherwise a great big thumbs up for an altogether great service!!

From the very beginning of purchasing our 2 sofas, the service has been second to none. The sales lady at the Farnborough, Hampshire branch was so careful to make sure that my wife and I made the right decision over the two sofas that was required. The company kept us well informed from start to finish as to when the delivery would be made, and when the delivery arrived, the two delivery men were so nice and so helpful. Both were from Brazil, so we had a good laugh about the World Cup. I would highly recommend SCS.
Sofa was delivered yesterday
Sofa was delivered yesterday, Driver and assistant was great but they never checked everything was working, They did not check that the chaise lifted up and down and that the backrest were working properly. In shop when brought never advised how heavy the sofa was to move on carpet, being a 70 year old with numerous health issues this is something that they need to advise when people are buying your furniture. Overall very happy with Sofa but a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
The level of customer service was very…
The level of customer service was very disappointing. The process of placing an order was very positive. At that point I was given an estimate delivery date, and it was explained to me that this could move sooner or later. That closer to the time I would receive a message booking in delivery and requesting final payment.
To my surprise I received this message ahead of schedule and the delivery date was booked and confirmed by both text and email. I made payment as requested.
The Friday before my Monday delivery slot I received further confirmation of the booked delivery. Which was helpful, having been away that weekend I had made arrangements ahead of time to work from home on delivery day and for the room to be ready to receive the sofa.
4 hours after this confirmation, I received a follow on message saying that the the delivery had been cancelled. Citing no reason why or follow up date.
What followed was a series of phone calls, all of which I had to initiate. In this time I was given 3 or more different delivery slots and a string of conflicting messages. What infruitated me most was that every cites the policy of. A ‘4 week window’ when it comes to slippage time- to the best of my knowledge this applies to the estimated date, and is null and void once a delivery day has been booked and confirmed.
Finally, I placed a complaint with the store I ordered from, and the team member was very non complimentary about his manager. A level of professionalism that was quite surprising.
When I finally spoke to the manager, he doubled down on company policy and did not seem to hear or recognise my disappointment and sub par experience when it came to timelines, customer service and the personal impact the delay had caused. Overall a frustrating experience which felt much more policy and company oriented rather than customer oriented.
New name but still ScS
Poltronesofa at ScS
Nice new company name selling well designed suites with lovely Italian fabric unfortunately marred by the cheap Chinese construction – that’s why it takes so long to deliver I guess. Mine eventually came with a sharp wood splinter poking from the fabric of the seat. This was satisfactorily fixed by their support company (Emmiera Group Service – used to be Homeserve) but, disappointingly, it took three weeks before I was able to get an appointment.
Underneath the new name is the same old ScS ethics of high pressure sales techniques selling you additional items such as over-priced “Glides” that you don’t need and in my case could not be used. Thank you, Amazon for providing the correct fittings for the suit to protect my hardwood floor from damage at 25% of the cost of their items. Just try getting a refund for Poltronesofa and you’ll be told that it has to be done through head-office and will take a long time – forever in reality.
Also they insist you need an expensive “Elite” care kit, Health Visit and Warranty that provide a cheap cleaning product, a future visit to ensure the suite is in good condition and a limited-life damage insurance with so many exemptions that it’s almost impossible to make any claim and also requires a £30 “arrangement fee that isn’t mentioned just added to the cost (all-in-all, over £300 of useless extras). Buy the furniture if you like it but my counsel would be to say an emphatic “No” to these extras and closely check the order details before signing.
Worth the wait.
Although the delivery was a day late they arrived next morning and were very polite and efficient.
My only niggle was that after installation and signing for the furniture the crew left, there was no demonstration.
But I'm still smiling every time I sit down thank you.

No to SCS Poltronesofa Farnborough
I bought a brand-new leather sofa from the SCS Poltronesofà Farnborough branch nearly 10 months ago, and the seat cushion has already lost its shape and support.
The sofa was sold to me by an elderly female salesperson. She was very kind, friendly and supportive during the sale. However, I later realised that this helpful attitude only lasted until the sale was completed.
At the time of payment, I also agreed to purchase insurance cover for the sofa. The billing staff told me that they were unable to add the insurance because of a technical problem. I trusted them, settled the full bill and left believing that the insurance would be added later.
Only after the sofa developed a fault did I discover that the insurance had never been added. When I returned to the store, the elderly female salesperson denied that I had purchased the insurance and argued with me. This was very disappointing, especially considering how kind and supportive she had been while selling the sofa.
I later returned and spoke to the male manager. After checking the records, he accepted that the store had made a mistake. However, after making me wait for around two weeks, I was told that they would refund the insurance payment but that my sofa would not be covered.
This does not resolve the real problem. Because of the store’s error, I have been left without the protection I believed I had purchased. The sofa is not even one year old and has already developed a significant problem. Although a repair is currently being arranged under the warranty, I am extremely concerned about what will happen after the warranty expires. Future repairs could cost a considerable amount.
I have now raised a formal complaint with the aftercare team. If SCS Poltronesofà does not provide a fair resolution, I plan to contact Citizens Advice and consider taking legal advice.
My advice to other customers is not to rely solely on verbal assurances. Check every document carefully before leaving the store and insist on written confirmation that any insurance or protection plan has been activated.
This has been a very disappointing experience, and I would not want another customer to go through the same situation.

Mary was amazing
Mary was amazing. Warm and polite. Main reason we bought the sofa. Very informative about the sofa and passionate in her customer service. In fact all the staff were very nice. Its was a truly nice experience. Lovley sofa.
SCS experience
Delivery is by third party. Rather than arriving between the suggested time of 10am to 3pm. Phoned before 7am on the delivery day. One of the sofa was damaged. Poltronesofa have agreed to replace sofas. Customer service advisors were courteous and willing to help.
