"We purchased our sofas over 7 years ago and they still look amazing. The fabric hasn’t faded or worn and the cushions are as firm as they were when new. Would definitely recommend! 👍🏼"

"The people at designer sofa are exceptional with their care and expertise but it is the quality their workmanship that is absolute first class. From the carpenter who makes the beech thro to the lady who cuts the material the upholsterers and machinist are all the top in their trade so you are going to have the most comfortable sofas that last. Mine was made exactlty as i asked, am i happy with them, you bet i am."

"When we make you a sofa in our Long Eaton Factory it is a team effort, from ordering to delivery, everyone is an expert in their part in manufacturing perfect furniture for your home. Thank you for recognizing the work and effort that has gone into producing your furniture. Rest assured when you have a sofa from The Designer Sofa it will be just what you have always wanted, and with a coil spring unit and a beech hardwood frame, it will stay comfortable for years to come. Best Wishes All the Team"

"We are absolutely delighted with our sofa and cannot speak highly enough of the service from Taz and all the team. We had a nightmare with access to our cottage which meant a remodelling of the sofa which was done with speed and great good humour and without additional cost. The build and upholstery quality is superb. Forget all the high street ‘special deals’ and go straight to Long Eaton! A quite outstanding company."

"5stars really does not seem to do this company justice! From beginning to end Taz and Zac gave us a service second to none. We discussed every aspect of what we had in mind, and Zac even directed us to other manufacturers so that we could compare prices and quality. To be honest, our decision was never in doubt, their attitude had been so professional an reassuring. Changes and “tweaks” were made until we arrived at a design that we were totally happy with. The manufacturing process was equally open and welcoming! We were welcomed into their workshop to see our suite being made, and kept informed throughout, despite a pandemic! The finished product just passed all expectations. The quality of finish and standard of workmanship is superb, an reflects the obvious pride and are that these guys take in their product, down to the smallest details of pattern matching.If you have any hesitation - don’t - you will not be disappointed. Would wholeheartedly recommend this company - 10 stars!!!"

"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"

"We cannot thank you enough for our gorgeous new sofas. After 15 years we decided to change to our dream sofa, a chesterfield. With your expert advice we were able to work out what we wanted from fabric and colour to size. Even better you carried out a measuring service which was for us invaluable. It took all the stress out of the process for us. It was even not too much trouble to hold the sofas for us for a couple of weeks because of a delay with a new floor. Delivery was a breeze and at no time did we have to worry about any little detail because of the quality of both the service and workmanship. We have and continue to recommend you and will certainly be back again for other rooms. A special mention to Ian who went above and beyond and was very patient answering all our questions."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you for giving your opinion on The Designer Sofa. I must admit I did enjoy coming over to Royal Leamington Spa to do the home service you required. After we had done all the measuring and looked at fabric samples, I went to have a look around Leamington and fell in love with it and have been back with the family four times since, if it were not for you I would not have found out how beautiful it was around your hometown. We always put customers first, and of cause quality, many companies don't bother about quality and the customer when things go wrong. As you know, we have balances and check throughout the design process and when your work is finished, we invite you to the factory to examine your work before you pay the balance. Nothing ever leaves the factory unless"

Mr & Mrs Moon (28th September 2018)
"We enjoyed the friendly and helpful approach to the process of reupholstering our 20+ year old suite which has been transformed and looks very much as if it will last us yet another 20 years. The care taken at every stage from quote to delivery was exemplary and we'd most certainly recommend the Designer Sofa team to anyone looking to revive a tired sofa or chair."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank very much for your feedback, and it is reviews like this that make it all worthwhile. We are a family firm that treats people how we would like to be treated, from walking through the door for the first time, to coming to see your finished work before we deliver it to you. We ask all or customer to visit us when their work is compleated, whether is new or re-upholstery, to have a look and to make sure the work has been carried out to a high standard and they are happy before the balance is paid. Nothing is ever delivered to you unless it is 100%, we want you to be happy with the finished work. From all 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"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you, Gillian and John. We do make a lot of tea and coffee here, as we like people to feel at home and enjoy choosing your perfect furniture. This is not just a job to us it`s a way of life and we genuinely want you to be happy with your new or re-upholstered sofas and chairs. A sofa is never too old to be restored to is`s former glory in fact it is the newer furniture that is poorly mad that is not worth restoring. Enjoy your furniture Ian & the Team."
