Customer Reviews
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"

"I have just received my wing back chair and I am more than delighted.
Great customer service and workmanship."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Your red wing back chair did look stunning in the red fabric you chose. The Wemyss Walbrook fabric is nice soft and looks great. thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Ian & Taz"
Jacqueline Bamford (10th September 2019)
"Friendly service, made the sofa specifically as we asked, was made to measure. The men who delivered the sofa had an absolute nightmare trying to get it in our house, they remained calm, patient and finally after 3 hours our sofa was in and ready to use. Excellent quality and choice, would definitely recommend a visit to the showroom. They make items to your specifications."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Some delivery is harder to do than others but we always get them in your room. Some delivery would be impossible be we can do them because we can build your sofa in two halves for easy delivery. It is possible with The Designer Sofa to get your corner unit or sofa into a room other companies would not attempt to do. We build your sofa your way to make the most of your room."
Peter & Sheila Roughton (11th December 2017)
"Uninspired by lack of choice, quality and value for money from high street retailers and department stores, the Internet persuaded us a trip to Long Eaton might be worthwhile. So pleased we did as the service afforded by Taz and his team was first class. From a picture we provided from a magazine, we had made a snuggler and a sofa in matching fabrics. At a cost no higher than we could have paid on the high street, we have two beautiful and unique pieces of furniture that we are absolutely delighted with. We would recommend anyone looking for quality and service and unable to find it on the high street, make the trip to The Designer Sofa at Long Eaton."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"A lot of people cannot find what they want on the high street and when they do the quality is not high enough. Smart shoppers like you think outside the box and think there must be more than the High Street and brands you see on the TV. This is where the designer sofa comes in, we can cater for your every need whether you want a really large sofa or small sofa, it's no problem for us. The looks of your sofa are important too, you can design your own sofa round the looks and quality that suits you. Thank You Ian"
A Parker (29th June 2019)
"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."
Response from The Designer Sofa

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"
Response from The Designer Sofa
"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"
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"
Adam Henson (26th August 2019)
"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"
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"
Pam Young (25th January 2018)
"Thanks for restoring areas of our ten year old Tetrad sofas destroyed by our cats! They now look like new. The cats have also had their claws clipped! We are very pleased with your work."
Response from The Designer Sofa
"Thank you Pam, for the feedback, yes good idea to have the cat's claws clipped as your sofas look so good now. Ian & the Team"
