"Dear Taz, thank you for your help this weekend, came in with a very tired sofa and walked out with a beautiful new one,we are delighted but then we knew that we would be, having had your excellent work before, our conservatory looks like a new room now, good to chat about our likes and dislikes sitting comfortable with you and a cup of tea. thanks again taz and ian and your very happy team."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Thank you, Gillian and John. We do make a lot of tea and coffee here, as we like people to feel at home and enjoy choosing your perfect furniture. This is not just a job to us it`s a way of life and we genuinely want you to be happy with your new or re-upholstered sofas and chairs. A sofa is never too old to be restored to is`s former glory in fact it is the newer furniture that is poorly mad that is not worth restoring. Enjoy your furniture Ian & the Team."
Mike and Anne Sutton in Ashfield (15th January 2019)
"We thank you for all the help in designing a very comfortable 3 piece suit. We had been looking around all the large shops but there was nothing suitable, problems like sitting heights depth of seat height of arms and choice of fabrics. Designer Sofa because they are bespoke manufacturers we were able to solve all these problems in just a few visits their care and help was commendable and the result very satisfactory. I highly recommend this company."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"People don't realise how easy it is to look for a sofa when you can have any size you want, and you have no restrictions. People are used to going around the shops and only finding something that will do but not right, and this is not good enough for most people. When you have experienced a bespoke company like The Designer Sofa and find out how easy it is to find your perfect sofa, you want to tell everybody as it makes life so much easier. We design comfort into your new sofa, and it is intended to last for years to come with a massive 35-year construction guarantee, that you just cannot get with a high street company. There is an old saying you get what you paid for, but with The Designer Sofa, you get more than what you pay for."
Mr & Mrs Roach (5th December 2017)
"We thank the team of the designer sofa in Long Eaton for the excellent service. They carried out a home visit to check the sizes of the three-piece suite, from the initial visit to the to the delivery the team were always quick to answer any questions and make sure the specifications were exactly what we wanted. We have now had the three piece suite for several weeks and we can only give the highest recommendations for the quality and service thank you to the team at the designer sofa, thank you. John"
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Thank you for calling us a team because that's what we are, we believe a team can work a lot better than a collection of individuals, everybody has to do their part from start to finish to make a good experience for you. I really wanted to make you happy, because you told me the last two suites you have had you have been unhappy with them and this is your third attempt, that's why you have waited to do this review you because you wanted to try the furniture for a few week first to make sure he was happy. This means a lot to me Ian"
John T (3rd May 2017)
"Thank you Taz and Ian, I cannot fault the service or quality of product and I would not hesitate to recommend you anyone. The sofa looks and feels fantastic.""
Response from The Designer Sofa
"We think a quality service is very important, we put the customer first. We have been producing the best quality bespoke sofas in Long Eaton for many years now and will continue to do so. That is why people recommend us to their friends and family with confidence. Best Wishes Ian"
Michele Giles (16th May 2019)
"To buy new or reupholster our old suite that was the dilemma! Our sofas had been custom made 16 years ago and were looking worn and tired but nothing in the big furniture stores caught our eye. After reading the reviews and speaking to Ian I knew we'd made the right decision to go with the Designer Sofa option to reupholster for us. We are thrilled with the results! We now have an updated suite with lovely 'plumpy' cushions and believe me, after sitting on our conservatory wicker furniture for 4 weeks, we are so glad to have our comfy sofas back! All the team were brilliant from help with choosing fabrics to collection and delivery - would highly recommend."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Thank you, Michele and Steve. We always do our best from meeting a client to delivering you sofas to your home. If you want a new sofa or re-upholstery we use the same part and nothing is the second best. We are so proud of the work we produce that when it is finished we invite you back to look at the finished sofas or chairs, we don't expect you to pay until you are 100% happy with the finished work. That is the reason we get so many good reviews, we really do care. Ian & the Team"
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"
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"

"We have not advertised for years most of our work comes from recommends. You don't need to spend loads on advertising if you make a good product that people want, they will always come back for more and send their friends and family. We have a 35Year construction guarantee, so our customers come back after 15 to 20 years to have their sofas and chairs re-upholstered. All the best, The Designer Sofa"
Mr & Mrs Hutton (23rd March 2017)
"Had our Belvedere sofas from you years ago and now they need some TLC thank you for restoring them.
Highest quality extremely pleased with the result.
Excellent workmanship nice to meet the team who worked on our suite.
It's our second suite from designer sofa would recommend to everyone."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"We are now getting so many of our customers returning to us after 10 to 20years of having their sofas from us. They either want new or like you want their furniture re-upholstering back to new condition. Even though your sofa was 14years old, it has been lovingly returned to its former glory. Amazingly because we have re-upholstered your work it still has 6 years of its 20-year guarantee to run, but it will last for many years to come and will outlast the furniture you get from the chain stores today."
K Henderson (4th July 2019)
"Much beloved Parker and Farr sofas reunited with their former glory and more! Needed one sofa making smaller to fit our new home, was very nervous about doing it but the result is amazing!"
Response from The Designer Sofa
"We are the experts when it comes to reupholstering your sofas and chairs. When we restore your furniture we will only use the same parts as we use in our new furniture, that is why the quality is so high and you will be so happy. When we have finished your work we don't throw it back into your lounge like some companies and then disappear. If you are having new or reupholstery from The Designer Sofa we always invite you to the factory to inspect the quality and make sure you are happy with the work before it leaves the factory and you pay your balance. That is the reason why we get so many 5 star reviews, only happy customers take delivery of our work. Ian"
