Response from The Designer Sofa
It is always a pleasure seeing returning customers. over the years we have never changed our core beliefs of quality and putting the customer first. Our quality is just as good now, as it was 20year+ ago. I don't think any other furniture Manufacture can say that, and we are deeply proud of that fact. Thank you so much, Taz

Found The Designer Sofa after being refused entry to our previous suppliers empty showroom as we didn’t have an appointment! From the first moment we were made welcome by Zak who showed us around and let us try several sofas out, he even ordered samples of fabric to be delivered to home for us. On a further visit we met Taz who once again made us very welcome, this resulted in an order and delivery was bang on time and the quality of the sofa is unbelievably good. Even a follow up visit to discuss a query was met positively and gave a great result. Service and quality are second to none and we would certainly recommend Taz and his team to anyone in the market for a quality hand made product. Thanks to everyone at The Designer Sofa for a great experience

We just have three sofas delivered . The quality and workmanship is amazing. We spent about three months looking at many different suppliers before we made a decision . We are so glad we went to look at the designer sofa company. We met with Taz who was really very pleasant and a great help to us. We can’t thanks Taz and his staff for the lovely furniture they made for us.this company is by far the best in the business.

This family run business is simply amazing. We had our large corner suite cushions & scatter cushions replaced. From start to finish, nothing was too much trouble, & they actually went above & beyond for utter perfection. we are so happy with the end result, we would not hesitate in recommending this company.

Response from The Designer Sofa
Utter perfection is what we try for, and I think we hit it 99% of the time. Nobody is perfect lol. Taz

My wife and l wanted a custom made sofa and chair in leather, after some research we decided to give the designer sofa people a go. We like to use local businesses when we can and we were not disappointed, from the moment we walked in Taz made us feel really welcome and listened to our design ideas with interest, he advised us on style and materials but was not in the slightest bit pushy The order was placed and a few weeks later we got the call to go to the showroom and look at the finished article we were definitely not disappointed with the craftsmanship and quality were there to see. The same day the furniture was delivered ( free of charge )by two of the politest lads you could wish to meet they carefully placed the furniture exactly where we wanted it It looks brilliant If you're looking to buy bespoke furniture you won’t do better than Taz and the team at The Designer Sofa, they aren’t the cheapest out there but in our opinion, based on what we received pound for pound they are definitely in the top one.

Clearly a 'centre of excellence' where customers are clearly 1st and centre in all they do. I read the earlier reviews regarding this company and decided to give it a go - and I wasn't disappointed! I emailed my furniture details together with photos and what it was I wanted to achieve. Zak replied with an in depth explanation of what it is the company would do and a clear unambiguous estimate of the costs. It couldn't have been clearer and frankly I couldn't have been happier. Absolutely a company who will, and deserves to do well. Thank you!

A big thank you to the whole team at The Designer Sofa, it was a wonderful buying experience from the showroom visit to the delivery.

We can’t praise everyone enough from Taz, Zac and Harris to all the staff in the factory. From the moment we entered the showroom we were greeted so warmly. Nothing was too much trouble. I am 5ft 2 with short legs and my husband 5ft 10 so we needed a style that would suit both our needs. They found us the idea sofa and had it altered to accommodate us and 2 chairs. They helped us with fabric choice. I new the colour I wanted but then had the suite pipped which looks amazing. We were there over 2 hours making our choices and didn’t feel a nuisance when asking questions that may seem simple to them. As for the quality it is solid. I wish I had found them years ago I would have saved a fortune. Thank you doesn’t seem enough. It looks so lovely in our lounge. I will be recommending them to all my friends.

Amazing, from the first conversation with Zac and his obvious knowledge of the furniture trade, especially Wade furniture, we knew we would not be disappointed. Having searched everywhere to replace our tired looking furniture, to no avail. John suggested getting it recovered. Wade long since closed. Tried sourcing restorers and found this company. Words fail us: Our Wade had been restored so beautifully, am tempted to say 'even better' then when we first purchased it nearly 17 years ago. The structure we assumed was sound. However, it has been returned in superb condition. beautifully upholstered clearly a work of genius and craftsmanship. Thank you Harry x. The courtesy and professionalism extended to us, over these past few months has been outstanding. Zac, Taz, Harris, Nick and Lewis, you are indeed a dream team. Everyone at The Designer Sofa. Thank you so much.

Taz and the team were amazing! I couldn’t recommend them enough. I moved into my new house in July last year and even with the whole lockdown they managed to turn round my sofa so quickly.. When the sofa came i was so in love, a year on and the sofa is still so amazing! Definitely worth every single penny. Also the whole team are lovely which makes the experience 10/10!
