"It’s been a real pleasure doing business with Zak and Taz. I had an old (50 years?) Parker Knoll armchair which had already been re-covered by another company not so long ago and which was looking very sad. The difference between that job and the work done by Zak and Taz was enormous. When I got the chair back this time it was perfect, with meticulous attention to finish and detail both in the renovation of the chair itself and the new upholstery. I was even provided with an additional seat cushion because the first one didn’t meet their own high standards. I think the chair probably has another fifty years ahead of it now! The company have real enthusiasm and pride in their work and it was a pleasure to do business with them."

"WOW! WOW! and Another WOW! Here is a unique family business who still believe in the old addage:"Customer is King"From the first phone call to the final delivery in May of our reupholstered two sofas and two chairs.Professionalism, knowledge, advice, quality and pride are all key to the success of this business and they have it all in bucket loads.We were considering replacing for new but having searched for equal quality, prices were ridiculously high and bespoke was out of the question when considering mass production. Taz and Zak are front of house in the showroom and it's very evident that they enjoy their jobs. Behind the showroom is where the magic happens and the skilled workforce take pride in whatever they produce.And it doesn't stop there-even their delivery staff are proud to deliver the company products.We are delighted with the outcome and bye the way,the price was also very acceptable compared to the competition. Is this a gushing review? Yes. Do they deserve it? Of course they do and Yes I would recommend The Designer Sofa company to my friends and family.Thank you Taz, Zak and all the workforce."

"Had our Belvedere sofas from you years ago and now they need some TLC thank you for restoring them. Highest quality extremely pleased with the result. Excellent workmanship nice to meet the team who worked on our suite. It's our second suite from designer sofa would recommend to everyone."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"We are now getting so many of our customers returning to us after 10 to 20years of having their sofas from us. They either want new or like you want their furniture re-upholstering back to new condition. Even though your sofa was 14years old, it has been lovingly returned to its former glory. Amazingly because we have re-upholstered your work it still has 6 years of its 20-year guarantee to run, but it will last for many years to come and will outlast the furniture you get from the chain stores today."

"We found The Designer Sofa Company online and were very impressed by the five star reviews and the customer comments. We wanted them to replace the springs on our Multiyork sofa as a previous repair was carried out by a very second rate upholsterer. Zak came along and was obviously very experienced and anxious to correct the fault which they have now completed to our total satisfaction. The Company really cares about customer satisfaction and they are very nice people to deal with . We can totally recommend The Designer Sofa Co. to anyone looking to purchase quality upholstery"

"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"

"Absolutely brilliant! We've just had our sofa delivered and absolutely love it!!! 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 wish we'd found these guys before we wasted money on total rubbish from the high street."

"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"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you, Chris We are a family firm and it`s nice to deal with a nice family like yourselves. We do appreciate the feedback it is important to use. Call in any time you are passing it would be good to see you all again."

"We had been looking to replace our sofa and two armchairs for ages and we found The Designer Sofa Company by chance whilst visiting the showrooms of a large manufacturer opposite. We popped in and were immediately struck by their pride in the materials they use and in the skill they apply in hand making their furniture. They were incredibly helpful in explaining how good furniture is constructed (and how volume manufacturers often use other methods to save time). We took our time – they were very patient and we were not rushed – and ordered two sofas, one of which was to the bespoke size that we required. Prior to the agreed delivery date, the lockdown, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, started. We accepted that a delay was inevitable and was not their fault and we contacted Zac from time to time to check on progress once the lockdown was easing. When our sofas were ready, we visited Long Eaton to view them and confirm that we were happy with them. Extra customer care like this is very difficult to find nowadays. Taz is obviously passionate about the quality his company produces and wants his customers to be happy. The sofas arrived and we are delighted with them. The frames are very solid and obviously well-made and the cushions are very comfortable. Zac and his brother worked carefully to get them through several doorways and into our lounge. Thank you to Taz, Zac and the whole team for our wonderful new sofas."
