"I never thought I'd be saying this but......today I was moved to tears by the sight of my new sofa! It was 12 wks ago that my husband and I walked into The Designer Sofa shop and met Taz and Ian. We'd been looking for a new sofa for about a year. I had an image in my head of what I wanted and despite listening to various sales patter and visiting endless furniture and department stores, I wasn't happy with the choices available. What a breath of fresh air it was to meet Taz and his team. They are all very proud and passionate about what they do and rightly so. The service they deliver is truly exceptional. The furniture is all handmade using the highest quality British hardwood and springs. The team's ethics and values take you back to a time when buying British meant you were guaranteed the highest quality product that would be reliable and sold at an honest price. Taz explained that they could make any sofa we wanted, any style, size, any fabric.....the choice is endless. There is no "hard sell" or sales banter. They don't need to. The quality speaks for itself. He then proceeded to show us how they make the furniture! He proudly introduced us to his craftsmen in the workshop next door.....no room for hierarchy there. Immediately the team's expertise, skill and honesty was apparent. Their transparency was so refreshing. True British craftsmanship is rare these days but that is what you get with The Designer Sofa team. They have kept us informed throughout the whole process, ensuring we were happy with the way the fabric would fit the frame. I've always had a second hand sofa before......so silly as it sounds........I was quite moved today when I saw my sofa completed! The "image in my head" had become a reality and is much better than I ever dreamed. It is perfect in every way, the quality and detail are astounding and it is comfortable beyond belief. A huge thank you to Taz and his team and best wishes for the future."

"Our chairs and sofabed have been finished to an exceptional standard. Hardly surprising given the pesonal service and high standards of 'The Designer Sofa'. In particular the upholster's attention to detail was remarkable. A really great job."

"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."

"We only have praise for this company. They were very helpful and lots of choices of fabric and design. Nothing was too much trouble. We purchased our suite from them about a year and a half ago now. We are still very pleased with it. It still looks brand new. Very good workmanship and good quality. Highly recommend."

"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"

"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"
