"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."

"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."

"Dear Taz and Ian Many thanks for the exceptional customer service we have had since having our suite reupholstered with your company. We have been very pleased with the finished result and the high standard of workmanship involved. All of your team have done a great job. Even returning our suite the boys managed to manoeuvre the suite back into position with no mishaps. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to other people. Once again many thanks yours sincerely. Ann & Fred Hussy"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Hi Anne and Fred Thank you very much for your feedback much appreciated. We are very proud of our customer services and the quality we produce for every customer. We think there is only one way to do a job and that is the right way, much of the work we do on re-upholstery it's better when we have finished it than the job was originally when first purchased. You can be reassured we are going to do with the first class job for you because when the work is finished we invite you down to have a look at it, and examine it before you pay your balance and we deliver it back out to you. Ian & the Team"

"We would like to add our plaudits to all the other 5 star reviews. All that we can say has already been said in a far more eloquent fashion than I am able. Suffice to say that the Pandemic wait was worth it. Service from beginning to end exemplary. The finished product drew a wow from my son and certainly looks and feels like te real deal. Well done Zak and your team."

"We are so happy with our new sofa’s. From the start we were very happy with the customer service and the way Ian explained everything to us. Ian helped us design our sofa’s and even came to our house to confirm measurements. The sofa’s were made and delivered much quicker than anticipated and they fit perfectly. When we went to see them in the showroom before delivery, it was really nice to meet everyone involved in building them. A quality product, that I am sure will be with us for many many years."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Some people ask why we get so many 5 star reviews, this question is very simple to answer. Look at this review above, our customer service is 5 star and our product is second to none in the whole country and our customer judge it to be 5 stars, not us. Come and see and be part of The Designer Sofa family and we will look after you for many years to come. Ian and the Team"

"We’re are so pleased with the workmanship and service. Our multi York sofas look amazing after being re-upholstered and altered slightly in height and seat cushion width. Ian,Taz and the boys do an amazing job. They talk you through all the work and help you decide on fabric and colors. We checked the finished sofas before delivery and could not believe they were the Sam ones. As I sit on one now writing this review I am still amazed at the transformation. The whole team are very professional and friendly. We discussed the work over coffee and chatted for ages you are treated exceptionally well. Thank you so much it was money well spent, yes we could have bought new ones but why when these were only worn out material they frames were solid. Collection and delivery was exceptional as we moved house in between the two, this was not a problem at all. Once again thank you see you in another ten years. 😀"

"Not only are Taz, Zac and the team a great family run firm, their furniture looks fabulous! We are delighted with the sofas, chairs and footstools that we have just had delivered from this company. Having downsized, we had repeatedly searched the ‘usual’ shops for furniture to comfortably fit into the space available. We had also looked at other suppliers of bespoke furniture and we’re beginning to worry that we wouldn’t find anything that we really liked. Zac, Taz and Harris were friendly and helpful from the minute we walked into the shop. They are a good humoured family, who communicate well, smile and laugh easily. We explained what we were looking for and discussed preferences and practical solutions to find furniture that looks great. Their willingness to help without being ‘pushy’ was very welcome given that other retailers hadn’t given us much help or advice. Taz made suggestions about sizes and shapes of furniture that would fit the space. Taz is extremely informative about the manufacturing processes and showed us the wood, springs and a range of materials available. The team ordered samples of the selected fabrics for the sofas and scatter cushions so that we could ensure that the decor and curtains matched in perfectly. Not only does the furniture look great but it’s comfortable. Zac and Harris delivered the furniture, taking great care to position it as we required. Despite the disruption that the pandemic has created for the supply of materials, the team have managed to keep us informed about progress and deliver the goods before Christmas. We will be recommending this company to friends who want some furniture reupholstered. Thanks Taz, Zac, Harris and the team at The Designer Sofa Company. It’s been great to work with you!"
