Great new fabric by Prestigious Textils
20 June 2017
Prestigious have made a beautiful new fabric that looks and feels like wool but is washable at 30 degrees. It is also very hard wearing with an impressive 50.000 rubs on the Martindale Rub Test.
This a timeless collection of tartans, tweeds and twills with a contemporary edge.
We have a Sienna chair covered in the Fraser plan and the Strathmore Tartan in the showroom.
Customer Reviews
John and Gilly (4th September 2018)
"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"

"The people at designer sofa are exceptional with their care and expertise but it is the quality their workmanship that is absolute first class. From the carpenter who makes the beech thro to the lady who cuts the material the upholsterers and machinist are all the top in their trade so you are going to have the most comfortable sofas that last. Mine was made exactlty as i asked, am i happy with them, you bet i am."

John & Katie Mellers (2nd May 2017)
"Very helpful and a delight to deal with. Not pushy at all. Only the best wood used for frames and quality springs so the end product is built to last. What a pleasure to find someone so dedicated to ensuring that the customer is happy with an item that after all takes up a large space in your home and you need to love!!! I can't recommend them enough.
John & Katie"

George Manners (31st May 2017)
"I can only describe my experience from start to finish as utterly fantastic.
They made me feel so welcome and accommodated my every need.
Once i got the chance view my new sofa i was blown away, just knowing that it had been produced for me from scratch is fantastic. No comparison to the big chains!!
Personally this is the first sofa i have had made, but my family have had roughly 5 units. Every single one is just sublime!!
I would urge anybody who is currently shopping around chains such as DFS and Sofology to pay these guys a visit. Of course they are a tad more expensive, but in the grand scheme of things the value for money is off the scale.
Needless to say, i am ecstatic. Thanks so much to Ian and Taz for their fantastic service throughout :)"
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Thank you so much your review it is of the scale too. We want every customer who walks through the door to have a good experience and your review helps me to know we are getting things right. You are right you cannot get this quality on the high street, if you divide the money by how long you will want to own one of bespoke sofas you will not get better value anywhere. Smart shoppers like yourself do not get taken in by all the high street offer's, you just want quality and service at the right price. Thank you for your review. Ian and the Team"
Mr & Mrs Reddish (11th January 2018)
"We are extremely pleased with our sofa, chair, footstools and cushions delivered last week. The standard of service from Designer Sofa was excellent from start to finish. From discussing style and fabric choices to placing the furniture in our house, everything was easy to discuss and agree. Delivery was on time to original estimate when order placed, and to suit us. Extremely high standard of workmanship, and so comfortable."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"I do like all the feedback I get from customers, as the whole team put a lot of work into each and every piece made for every customer. We have a saying at The Designer Sofa that is, treat everyone as you would like to be treated yourself. We have been making handmade sofas & chairs now for over 20 years we still get a buzz out of doing things the right way. Thank you, from all the team"
Ian Stewart (27th November 2018)
"Excellent customer service. 4 years after the purchase of our sofa, we decided to alter the height of it. Ian gave us spare legs to try at home to make sure we got it right and then did the alterations for free. He also took the time to talk through different cushion types and made sure we didn’t make any hasty, expensive decisions."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"At The Designer Sofa we think After Sales Service is really important as we want all our loyal customers to be happy for years to come. The alteration Mr Stewart wanted was not covered under the guarantee as it was not a fault but an alteration he wanted making after 4 years of having the sofas. I thought it was more important to help Mr Stewart than make a few pounds so I did not charge him for the alterations. We also take the same view when we first meet you and work out you requirements and need for your new sofa or corner unit, we don't use the fact we are bespoke to put the price up, when we know what you want we will always do as many of the bespoke alteration at no extra charge as we can, we don't want bespoke to be expensive. The reason we get get so many recommends and good reviews is we put customers first and keep the quality of or furniture high at a price you will like if you want quality furniture. Ian & the Team"
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"
V Sanders (4th November 2017)
"We were led through the daunting process by a knowledgable and friendly team. The final product is beyond our expectations. The quality and craftsmanship are excellent. I am sure the suite will give us years of service and pleasure. Thank you. We will recommend you with total confidence."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Thank you for taking the time to send me the photos of your furniture and write a review on here. Unfortunately, there is no way of putting on here with the review, I will have to get that changed if its possible. Yes, your new sofa and chairs will give you many years of comfort and service. And in 15 or so years you can have it re-upholstered and carry on enjoying it for another 15years and longer. We build the best quality sofas in Long Eaton and we are also bespoke, combine this with our helpful non-pushy service this is how it should be. Thank You From all the Team"
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 and 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"
JUSTINE LEAPER (10th October 2018)
"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."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"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"
