"Excellent is what the guys have made.
Exactly what I was looking for my settee and extra long corner settee.
High quality and service.
Made to my specifications.
Great care and craftsman ship sadly lost by the main stream furniture retailers.
Attention to detail.
Thank you Taz and your excellent team."
"Thank you Anita, you about hit the nail on the head with this review. this is what we are about not the mass market, not made to your specs and questionable and quality at best."

"Our sofa, chair and footstools where purchased 7years ago and apart from a few dog hairs I haven't brushed off today they still look as good today and are just as comfortable as when we had them. Furniture that's made to to your own requirements whether its extra support needed for a bad back or preference for a slightly taller chair back Is not a problem. The service, knowledge, quality and craftsmanship from all at The Design Sofa can not be beaten."
"It`s nice to get feedback from a customer who has had our furniture for a few years and have had a chance to see how good it is. We can make furniture to fit you and your room, and if you have a bad back or some other medical condition we can make a sofa to help you. Our furniture is not mass produced very quickly like the sofa on the high street, each one is handmade especially for you. When your frame is made your name is put on it at the beginning and our craftsman will then turn it into your sofa or chair. Thank You from all the Team"

"I definitely recommend buying your furniture from here. So much choice of style and fabrics.
We bought our suite in 2019 made to our requirements. We had been looking for two years and could not find what we wanted
We are mote than pleased with not only the quality, but the service we received. So much so we are travelling back to the store to buy another one. We live in Cornwall."

"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"

"After trawling around all of the mainstream furniture shops and being met by a wall of grey, we decided to visit "The Designer Sofa" in the hopes of being able to have something individual made to suit our own taste. Taz was extremely helpful from our first visit, very knowledgeable and he went the extra mile to make sure the finished sofas were exactly what we wanted. Included in our brief was that we wanted something light coloured and elegant but that would stand up to wear and tear from our 2 year old grandson and any more we may have in the future! Taz assured us that the fabric we had chosen with his help would be very durable and easy to clean. This was borne out on our grandsons first visit after we had taken delivery of the sofas. The squashed blueberries on the seat and arms came off with just a wipe of soapy water just as Taz had said. We are very happy with our sofas and would not hesitate to recommend "The Designer Sofa" to anyone. Thank you to Taz and the whole team. Keith and Terry Butler, Sawley."
"Many Customers, tell me of the wasted hours looking in the shops and trawling the internet. Because of our mind blowing selection of designs and fabrics, you will defiantly find what you are looking for. We will use our expertise and knowledge to help our customers create their perfect sofa. Taz"

"We can’t praise everyone enough from Taz, Zac and Harris to all the staff in the factory. From the moment we entered the showroom we were greeted so warmly. Nothing was too much trouble. I am 5ft 2 with short legs and my husband 5ft 10 so we needed a style that would suit both our needs. They found us the idea sofa and had it altered to accommodate us and 2 chairs. They helped us with fabric choice. I new the colour I wanted but then had the suite pipped which looks amazing. We were there over 2 hours making our choices and didn’t feel a nuisance when asking questions that may seem simple to them. As for the quality it is solid. I wish I had found them years ago I would have saved a fortune. Thank you doesn’t seem enough. It looks so lovely in our lounge. I will be recommending them to all my friends."
Kathy & Steve (25th August 2023)
"WOW!! We love our new sofa. The whole buying experience was a pleasure. Taz and his team are passionate about their business, which is clearly evident in the exceptional quality of the final product. We couldn’t be happier. We initially visited with a firm idea of what we wanted. Within 5 minutes of meeting Taz, this went out the window. Guided by his expertise, we have taken delivery of a sofa perfectly suited to our needs and tastes. What a diamond. Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else. Head down to see Taz and the team. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks again."
"Thank you for the fantastic review. It does confirm all our hard work is not for nothing. Help and advice are fundamental to what we do, combine this with the high-quality bespoke furniture that we produce and get reviews like this. thank you again. Taz and the Team"

"Excellent service and experience throughout. I went to the designer sofa because I'd seen several pieces of furniture online I thought were almost perfect but never something that ticked all my boxes. So I went in and showed them some pictures and from there it was all about getting the perfect chair.
I was shown the hundreds of fabrics to choose from that meet my needs in colour and resiliance, and shown and got to test the various types of cushions/fillings to decide what was most suitable for me. And then I got the opportunity to sit in a chair and ask for things like "this chair but with a deeper cushion", "the arms need to be 3 inches higher", "the back needs to be wider". Right down to the bespoke level.
I was explained the types of wood used to build the frame is hardwood and not a single creak in it. And what's better is if I ever get fed up of the fabric, I can come back and get it reupholstered, because I feel I've got a chair that's actually going to last me a lifetime as opposed to a store brought from even the most highest quality of high street stores.
I'm absolutely in love with the armchair and will definitely be going back in the future for a sofa."
"Once you have had a sofa from The Designer Sofa you will come back for more, we believe a customer is for life and not just for that sale, we will always be here to help you. This is also the reason we get so many recommendations, and people sent their family and friend to be looked after by our friendly team. Distance is not a problem we cover the whole country."

"The whole process was a joy, from my first visit to The Designer Sofa to taking delivery of my sofa and stool. Taz made me very welcome & I spent hours in the showroom on several occasions trying all the sofas. I could wander round on my own if I wanted but there was always expert advice and guidance if I needed it. I then spent further hours choosing fabric & again was made really welcome to stay as long as I wanted and visit as often as I wanted. I tried to imagine how the sofa would look when it was finished but when I finally saw it I realised I had totally underestimated how fantastic it would be. I am absolutely thrilled and delighted with it. The quality of the workmanship is second to none; all the staff take great care in what they do; Taz knows exactly where all the materials are sourced and only uses the best. When my furniture was delivered yesterday the gentlemen who brought it had made the frames; they didn't just dump it in my house - they were clearly and justifiably proud of their work and took time setting it up correctly, even explaining to me which way round the cushions should go so the fabric would work to the best advantage. I recommend The Designed Sofa unreservedly to anyone wanting a really top-class product and outstanding service."
"Thank you so much for your fantastic review, we greatly appreciate the feedback. We try to give advice when needed and let you go at your own pace. We want you to make the decision that is right for you. Taz and the Team."

"I have been so impressed by this company. Everyone I have spoken to has been helpful and willing to give honest feedback to ensure that the customer gets the best outcome possible. I had a sofa and two chairs recovered and they are stunning. Highly recommend Taz, Ian and their team."
"Thank you for another great review, it has made my day. I have been doing this for 40 years now and I still want every customer to be this happy, and love their new sofa. There is only one way to any job, that is the right way. Ian"
