"We are sending as promised some pictures of our `new` 3 piece suite. It is hard to believe that this is our old one re-built! You have done an absolutely marvellous job – we are delighted. Friends who have seen it so far can`t believe what a magnificent job you have carried out and you have been such a friendly firm to deal with. Needless to say we shall certainly recommend The Designer Sofa to anyone who wants a new suite."

"Taz, Ian and now Zak represent the very best in the business. We have nothing but praise for their craftsmanship, care and attention to the detail you want in your sofa. Their customer service is second to none. The very best of British - two new settees and third refurbished over a fair few years - we can speak from a very satisfied and longstanding point of view. Thanks guys. Gilly and John"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you Gilly & John I much appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. when people buy furniture the just ask the price and never look at the specifications if you don't ask questions like what is the seat spring guarantee you could end up with a sofa with a 1 year and not a 20-year guarantee like the one we provide. You came back to use after a couple of years for more work because you know and trust us, this is the case with many of our customer that return and recommend us to their family and friends. Thank you from all the team"

"Thanks for restoring areas of our ten year old Tetrad sofas destroyed by our cats! They now look like new. The cats have also had their claws clipped! We are very pleased with your work."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you Pam, for the feedback, yes good idea to have the cat's claws clipped as your sofas look so good now. Ian & the Team"

Peter & Sheila Roughton (11th December 2017)
"Uninspired by lack of choice, quality and value for money from high street retailers and department stores, the Internet persuaded us a trip to Long Eaton might be worthwhile. So pleased we did as the service afforded by Taz and his team was first class. From a picture we provided from a magazine, we had made a snuggler and a sofa in matching fabrics. At a cost no higher than we could have paid on the high street, we have two beautiful and unique pieces of furniture that we are absolutely delighted with. We would recommend anyone looking for quality and service and unable to find it on the high street, make the trip to The Designer Sofa at Long Eaton."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"A lot of people cannot find what they want on the high street and when they do the quality is not high enough. Smart shoppers like you think outside the box and think there must be more than the High Street and brands you see on the TV. This is where the designer sofa comes in, we can cater for your every need whether you want a really large sofa or small sofa, it's no problem for us. The looks of your sofa are important too, you can design your own sofa round the looks and quality that suits you. Thank You Ian"

Chris Jowett (21st June 2017)
"Top quality sofa, made to measure, choice of thousands of fabrics and cost no more than lesser quality sofas at some high street shops. Plus a 20-year guarantee. It's nice to find people who care about what they make and sell these days. Chris Jowett"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you, Chris We are a family firm and it`s nice to deal with a nice family like yourselves. We do appreciate the feedback it is important to use. Call in any time you are passing it would be good to see you all again."

Barbara (2nd June 2015)
"A big Thank You for all your advice and patience with us whilst choosing our new sofa design. You were both very professional helping with the design and the colours and materials. We have made a few minor changes which you have sorted out without question or hesitation, and we are now really happy with the final result and it looks great in our lounge. We are looking forward to many years of pleasure from it! We would not hesitate to recommend you to our family and friends who are looking for similar furniture in the future."

Pat & David Burton (12th January 2018)
"Dear Taz and the workshop team, We write to say thanks again to you and the team for the wonderful job you did for us on our two sofas and armchair and for your advice on choice and mixing fabrics which really was so helpful. As you know when we paid our pre delivery visit to you we were over the moon with the result, the transformation was amazing and everything you promised from quality to craftsmanship was delivered. We have a brand new suite and it has to be said we like it even more than the original and at a very reasonable cost considering what it would have been to replace. We would highly recommend the company to anyone who wants the reassurance of a truly professional job, the whole experience was a pleasure. Best Regards Pat & David Burton Mansfield"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you, Pat & David. You are saying what a lot of people say about our re-upholstery work, we always deliver what we promise, and your furniture will look as good if not better than the day you first bought it. We are a professional team, that takes our work very seriously, and our motto is to treat people like you would like to be treated yourself. Best Wishes All the Team"

Robin & Karen (2nd June 2015)
"I want to thank you for the building and delivery of our 2 Jordan sofas. They are robust and constructed to a very high standard, just what we need with a lively young family. The customer service from start to finish has been friendly and the advice has been both helpful and professional without being pushy. They are stylish pieces of furniture which are very comfy and would look great in any setting."

Nicola Clarke (11th April 2018)
"We have the most sumptuous settee, chair and footstool all made to our specific requirements. It all looks spectacular in our lounge, we are absolutely delighted with the effect. The customer service from all of the team has been second to none, a most friendly service. We will be returning in the future for other pieces. Thank you so much everyone at The Designer Sofa."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Not only do we make the best furniture in the country we also pride ourselves on customer service, we genuinely want our customers to be happy and do our best all the way through the process to ensure this. When your bespoke furniture is finished we invite you to the factory to inspect your work before you pay your balance that way you know you are going to be happy with the finished item. From all the team"

Kate (24th November 2018)
"Thank you all so much. Our sofas look wonderful. I can't believe they are the same ones that left here looking so sad and old a couple of weeks ago. You have all done a wonderful job, and everyone has been so friendly and helpful too. I will be highly recommending you to my friends and family. Congratulations on a job very well done. Best wishes, Kate"
