"Dear Taz and the workshop team, We write to say thanks again to you and the team for the wonderful job you did for us on our two sofas and armchair and for your advice on choice and mixing fabrics which really was so helpful. As you know when we paid our pre delivery visit to you we were over the moon with the result, the transformation was amazing and everything you promised from quality to craftsmanship was delivered. We have a brand new suite and it has to be said we like it even more than the original and at a very reasonable cost considering what it would have been to replace. We would highly recommend the company to anyone who wants the reassurance of a truly professional job, the whole experience was a pleasure. Best Regards Pat & David Burton Mansfield"

"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"

"Much beloved Parker and Farr sofas reunited with their former glory and more! Needed one sofa making smaller to fit our new home, was very nervous about doing it but the result is amazing!"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"We are the experts when it comes to reupholstering your sofas and chairs. When we restore your furniture we will only use the same parts as we use in our new furniture, that is why the quality is so high and you will be so happy. When we have finished your work we don't throw it back into your lounge like some companies and then disappear. If you are having new or reupholstery from The Designer Sofa we always invite you to the factory to inspect the quality and make sure you are happy with the work before it leaves the factory and you pay your balance. That is the reason why we get so many 5 star reviews, only happy customers take delivery of our work. Ian"

"Very helpful and a delight to deal with. Not pushy at all. Only the best wood used for frames and quality springs so the end product is built to last. What a pleasure to find someone so dedicated to ensuring that the customer is happy with an item that after all takes up a large space in your home and you need to love!!! I can't recommend them enough. John & Katie"

Mike and Anne Sutton in Ashfield (15th January 2019)
"We thank you for all the help in designing a very comfortable 3 piece suit. We had been looking around all the large shops but there was nothing suitable, problems like sitting heights depth of seat height of arms and choice of fabrics. Designer Sofa because they are bespoke manufacturers we were able to solve all these problems in just a few visits their care and help was commendable and the result very satisfactory. I highly recommend this company."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"People don't realise how easy it is to look for a sofa when you can have any size you want, and you have no restrictions. People are used to going around the shops and only finding something that will do but not right, and this is not good enough for most people. When you have experienced a bespoke company like The Designer Sofa and find out how easy it is to find your perfect sofa, you want to tell everybody as it makes life so much easier. We design comfort into your new sofa, and it is intended to last for years to come with a massive 35-year construction guarantee, that you just cannot get with a high street company. There is an old saying you get what you paid for, but with The Designer Sofa, you get more than what you pay for."

Doreen and Roy (2nd June 2016)
"We are sending as promised some pictures of our `new` 3 piece suite. It is hard to believe that this is our old one re-built! You have done an absolutely marvellous job – we are delighted. Friends who have seen it so far can`t believe what a magnificent job you have carried out and you have been such a friendly firm to deal with. Needless to say we shall certainly recommend The Designer Sofa to anyone who wants a new suite."

"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."

L McDonagh (6th July 2019)
"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."

Response from The Designer 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."

Jacqueline Bamford (10th September 2019)
"Friendly service, made the sofa specifically as we asked, was made to measure. The men who delivered the sofa had an absolute nightmare trying to get it in our house, they remained calm, patient and finally after 3 hours our sofa was in and ready to use. Excellent quality and choice, would definitely recommend a visit to the showroom. They make items to your specifications."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Some delivery is harder to do than others but we always get them in your room. Some delivery would be impossible be we can do them because we can build your sofa in two halves for easy delivery. It is possible with The Designer Sofa to get your corner unit or sofa into a room other companies would not attempt to do. We build your sofa your way to make the most of your room."
