Sofa arrived very quickly especially before Christmas. Its ok and will do as a sofa for my first house but the quality isn't amazing and it's harder than I expected, I don't expect it to last as long... See more

Received the survey before I’ve even received the item. No update as to when it’s being delivered and I’ve had to chase it up myself twice.

I’m really sorry for the slight delay and for the confusion with the survey. I can see that your order has now been delivered.
If you’re happy with the item, could you please update your feedback? It would mean a lot to us.
If there’s anything else you need, just let us know — we’re here to help.
Quick delivery and the delivery driver…
Quick delivery and the delivery driver was really kind and polite. They give you a message of a date and time for delivery which you accept or you can rearrange to suit you. My sofas are absolutely amazing and super comfy, I think this is now my 3rd sofa from Abakus Direct.

Arrived ripped underneath and a leg couldn’t be bolted on properly as the hole provided wasn’t aligned properly. Wouldn’t offer compensation/discount only replacement item which would take ages to deliver after already waiting so long. Extremely poor quality for something that’s cost so much. Wouldn’t deal with this company again!

If you still need us to, we can arrange a replacement for you — just let us know and we’ll get it sorted.
