"Excellent service and experience throughout. I went to the designer sofa because I'd seen several pieces of furniture online I thought were almost perfect but never something that ticked all my boxes. So I went in and showed them some pictures and from there it was all about getting the perfect chair. I was shown the hundreds of fabrics to choose from that meet my needs in colour and resiliance, and shown and got to test the various types of cushions/fillings to decide what was most suitable for me. And then I got the opportunity to sit in a chair and ask for things like "this chair but with a deeper cushion", "the arms need to be 3 inches higher", "the back needs to be wider". Right down to the bespoke level. I was explained the types of wood used to build the frame is hardwood and not a single creak in it. And what's better is if I ever get fed up of the fabric, I can come back and get it reupholstered, because I feel I've got a chair that's actually going to last me a lifetime as opposed to a store brought from even the most highest quality of high street stores. I'm absolutely in love with the armchair and will definitely be going back in the future for a sofa."

"Once you have had a sofa from The Designer Sofa you will come back for more, we believe a customer is for life and not just for that sale, we will always be here to help you. This is also the reason we get so many recommendations, and people sent their family and friend to be looked after by our friendly team. Distance is not a problem we cover the whole country."

"Top quality sofa, made to measure, choice of thousands of fabrics and cost no more than lesser quality sofas at some high street shops. Plus a 20-year guarantee. It's nice to find people who care about what they make and sell these days. Chris Jowett"

"A real family business, giving a friendly, personal service where nothing is too much trouble. We decided that our old suite needed replacing but our living room is small and we needed something petite to fit in. A bespoke 3 piece was required. We chose our preferred suite and The Designer Sofa were most helpful offering to adjust the width, depth and height to suit as part of the service. We are delighted with the result and have already fallen asleep on our new furniture in front of the fire on a number of occasions due to its comfort. I visited the showroom recently and was welcomed like an old friend, such is the service. I cannot recommend them highly enough !"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"We pride ourselves on being a family run business, and it does show in the level of service you will get from The Designer Sofa it`s not just a job its a way of life for us. When you go to the big high street shops it's not the same, you're just a number, we treat everyone like friends and you never want to let a friend down. Ian and the Team"

"If you are looking for good quality and excellent service, look no further. After looking at The Designer Sofa shop, we wouldn't go any where else.. After ordering 2 sofas, they were delayed due to the ,"Virus ". I became very stressed and worried, had we chosen the right fabric and the right style?? Eventually we were able to see our sofas. I was reduced to tears!!! They looked amazing they were soooooo comfortable. They ooze quality. We will be forever grateful that we found this small, family business, where quality is there priority. Many thanks to all who took part in the manufacture of our our wonderful furniture."

"I have nothing but praise for Taz and his team. They more than fulfilled my expectations with an entirely new take on a chaise longue. Taz developed the design and it all worked, with a well constructed frame and beautifully upholstered. I can certainly recommend this business if you want to own something that lasts."

"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."
