Fantastic service from start to finish. Beautiful re-upholstery of sofas (originally from designer sofa in 2005) which now look like new. Attention to detail and craftsmanship unbeatable. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a quality job. Whole team are clearly passionate about first class service and making sure customers view and satisfaction are met. Thanks all

Response from The Designer Sofa
We are doing a lot of re-upholstery, not only our furniture but other brands that were good 20-plus years ago. with a bit of TLC and skilled upholstery, we can have your much-loved furniture back to its former glory. If you want new or re-upholstery come to the showroom here in Long Eaton or send an email to taz@thedesignersofa.co.uk

I needed a specialised chair for my elderly mother to her requirements. Taz and the team were helpful right from the beginning and ensured my mum would be sitting comfortably in just 4 weeks. Can't thank them enough. And at a reasonable cost considering the quality of their furniture. Thank you.

Response from The Designer Sofa
It was a pleasure to help you and your mum. We try to keep our costs reasonable, but quality does come at a price. Taz

In 2012, with their help, in choosing the design and the right fabric, we had our first made to measure sofa that fit the "bachelor flat" that we were living in perfectly, it is still as beautiful as the day we got it. 2022, second made to measure sofa done by this beautiful team. It was planned, not only to fit where we live now, but also being adaptable and adjustable for our next move.

Response from The Designer Sofa
once you have had a sofa from The Designer Sofa you will not go anywhere else. Your sofa still looks good after more than 10 year, not like the furniture you buy from the high street that has gone in a couple of years. best Wishes Taz

To be honest, we stumbled across designer sofas, and this is when we met Taz, what a lovely man, very honest, reassuring, and his expertise on any type of furniture is outstanding and not a all pushy we looked at plenty other sofa stores and this one is outstanding. Don’t waste your time go to designer sofa in Long Eaton So we had two bespoke sofa made and they are outstanding quality top marks for the craftsmanship and affordability thanks Taz lovely to have met you Yvonne and mark.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Thank you for all the kind words, I do try my best. As always we try to do the best we can for as little money as we can. is this the cheapest furniture on the market,NO. We are not trying to be, there are too many out on the high street already. What we do, is treat people with respect and make the finest furniture you can find for the best price it can be made. this is how we get all the good reviews. Taz and all the team.

I am so impressed with The Designer Sofa - both the quality of my sofa and the service from design to delivery. I had been dithering for months about designs, fabrics, how to find a sofa slim enough to fit my space, etc, and had been to lots of sofa places(both mass-produced and specialist). Finding Taz and The Designer Sofa just worked wonders. Within 15 minutes of walking in we had found the perfect size and design, and two wonderful contrasting fabrics - I never knew I wanted pattern on my sofa until we found a perfect fabric and now I have something totally unique. The only problem is that my cat finds it as comfy as I do and I hardly get a look in! Thank you.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Don't dither get down to The Designer Sofa. I hear this on a daily basis that customers have been looking for months. Save all that time and effort not to mention petrol. One trip for a chat with us could save all that. People travel from all over the country to get their perfect furniture, it saves time and money in the long run. Thank you Anne

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.

Response from The Designer Sofa
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

We first walked into Taz’s showroom in 2017 and were won over by his professionalism and attention to detail. We ordered a wonderful bespoke corner sofa for our daughter and were it not for his expertise and advice we would have never been able to navigate the final design. Following this Taz reupholstered our old Duresta sofa and made us a complementary fireside chair and footstool to go with it. Now completely rebuilt the sofa is better than when it was new! This year we have taken delivery of yet another handmade sofa this time for our kitchen and we could not be more delighted with it. Our journey with Taz speaks for itself and we will be returning again. Not only is Taz an absolute pleasure to deal with, he takes a pride in the excellence of his pieces of furniture resulting in his customers returning time and again.

Response from The Designer Sofa
We do get a lot of returning customers once they have had something from us. We are a family company that treats everyone like family. if it is not good enough for us, it's not good enough for you. We want everyone to be happy with what we design for them. Taz & the Team

From showing us designs' and his workshop,team and how the chairs are made, sourcing the matching material for us, advice and final delivery should be 10 stars not 5! Chair delivered today.Over the moon !! Taz, we will be back, Thank You.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Thank you for giving us 10 out of 5. Why should shopping not be enjoyable, we are here to help you make the right decisions. Unlike the high street, we value our customers and you will have our furniture for many years to come, it has to be done right. Thank you from the team.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Taz and the team are absolutely fantastic at what they do. The quality of their merchandise is exceptional and excellent value for money. Nothing is ever to much trouble for them and they go out their way to make sure you get a bespoke product and made to specifically what you want. This is the second time we have purchased a settee and we also had chairs and a bench seat made which look fantastic in our room. Thank you so much Taz and the team we are over the moon with our furniture.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Over the Moon is an excellent place to be, making us feel like we have done another good job. We are great value for money, but at the end of the day, someone will always beat us on price. You get what you pay for, as my mum used to say. You must be happy if this is the second order you have had from us. Thank you, Taz and the team

First came across Taz and his team when we had our dining room chairs upholstered by the Designer Sofa Company. They did an excellent job and so we decided to use them to replace our current suite. We had already seen one in a fairly reputable furniture store in Nottingham but decided to see what Taz and his team could do for us. Their quote came in considerably less than the high end store we were looking at and we were so impressed with everything we had seen so we went ahead. A big thank you Taz to you and your team. In this day and age it it rare to find such quality, craftsmanship and good old fashioned service.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Good old-fashioned Service, no one wants to be called old-fashioned but I will take this as a compliment. our furniture may look modern on the outside but inside it dates back longer than I can remember and I am no spring chicken. I challenge anyone to find furniture in the high street that is still built in the old-time tested way like our furniture is still manufactured today. Come and talk to one of our professional designer team and experience the old-fashioned service and quality that time forgot. Thank you, Lynda and Nigel, for your feedback.

Wow. The team at the designer sofa have delivered again. Having taken delivery of a bespoke designed sofa and chaise. We asked the team to deliver an arm chair and stool. We wanted modern luxury twinned with comfort. We got exactly that. The experience was outstanding. We visited the factory with the frame of our chair. Taz and the team wanted to make sure we were happy. We wanted the chair to be slightly higher. This was no problem and the height of the back was changed. It was all done with a smile and great service. I now have a curved high back chair that will last me years. It’s is so comfortable and the stool to go with it is fantastic. I will never ever buy from the high street again. We are so happy with what we have purchased through Taz and Nathan as the carpenter. Thank you yet again. Raj and Ket.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Thank you Raj & Ket, your order was very bespoke and you could not go to the high street and get this kind of one-off made especially for you, order. From a standard sofa or chair to the most bespoke corner unit. we will work with you to make your dream piece of furniture a reality. Taz and the Team.

The designer sofa has delivered our pair of sofas beyond our expectations. Having done a number of weeks research to choosing our new sofa for our new home, we quickly realised that the quality from your high street store was sub optimal. Following in-depth research I was brought to the home of British upholstery in Long Eaton. Here we found a number of companies, but the Designer Sofa were the stand out company. A small team, build on customer service and delivering the highest of quality. Taz has since our first meeting delivered a bespoke set of sofas which we had a vision for, using numerous pictures from a magazine, Taz has kept us involved throughout. We were able to visit the sofas in production in the warehouse too, which was a fantastic experience. The pair of sofas are without doubt the most comfortable I’ve ever sat on and look as we had wanted. The process of buying was unparalleled. They delivered on time as agreed and within our budget. We are so happy with the final product.

Response from The Designer Sofa
It is nice to see you did your research before coming to see The Designer Sofa, so many people see the adverts on TV and blindly trot off to the high street and end up disappointed with the service and goods. I think this might be the best review we have ever had, you hit the nail right on the head. You are a wise shopper and it has paid off for you. Thank you for the informative review, which will help customers that are looking for the finest sofas and chairs money can buy.Taz and the Team
