Great duvet good thing is the measurement is actually a superking which I purchased I have now bought 2 duvets from other retailer which were only king size measurements despite purchasing superking and Debenhams did not want to know about the issue so quality is always with Downtown no matter what you buy and the collection service was efficient too and friendly. Very pleased with the item and service
Polite and helpful
The operators were very polite and helpful, they had good knowledge of the item I was purchasing.

Happy with the furniture and the service we received from Downtown
After some issues with the original delivery, which were swiftly dealt with by the Downtown team, the replacement sideboard was delivered by Kevin and Reuben who were friendly, polite and extremely helpful. They unpacked and positioned the sideboard correctly for us. We are very happy with the new furniture and the service we received from Downtown.
Footstool
Apart from the long wait for production and then a further 1 week delivery delay everything else was fine thanks

I have enjoyed a pleasant and personal service on purchasing an item of furniture recently.
I'm delighted not only with the goods themselves but also with the buying experience, the support generally and topped off with the two really-helpful delivery guys

Was asked to fit carpet in the afternoon turned up at 10.30 . Unable to open one of the two doors fitted up to . This used to be dealt with by fitters included in fitting or extra cost . Worth considering offering this again as some customers aren’t capable of dealing with it.

Very helpful salesman
Very helpful salesman. No pressure to buy. Everything clearly explained.
Good price. Nice items.
Found the items we wanted on a good offer on Downtown. They communicated about shipping and two of the items were delivered well packaged. They look good and we are anticipating the final item once it’s back in stock.
Great experience buying sofas
What we found unique was we could walk into the store and buy 2 sofas and have them delivered within days. Most other retailers you are waiting weeks
Easy exchange of rug purchased on-line
Ordered a rug on-line which arrived quickly and well packaged. However when I put it in my lounge I decided I had made a mistake with my colour choice. I called Downtown to enquire if I could bring it back to store and exchange for different colour. Everyone I spoke to was extremely friendly and helpful and I was advised I could exchange at store. Once at store, the representatives in the carpet/rug department were also friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. A very pleasant experience and easy, trouble-free exchange. Would definitely recommend Downtown and will be back for future purchases! Thanks very much 😊
Very happy with our new 3 piece suite from Downtown
Recently bought a 3 piece suite from Downtown and excellent experience from start to finish. Lots of relevant advice from the sales people with absolutely no pressure to place an order.
Ready slightly earlier than expected. Delivery arranged smoothly with notification of 2 hour timeslot received 24 hours in advance. Careful and friendly delivery staff who took time to make sure it was all installed correctly and we understood exactly what we'd purchased.
All in all a great experience and very happy with our new suite (apart from our cockapoo who isn't quite sure about it just yet.....)
A very positive experience.
Pleased to find that a chair I had been watching for several months had been reduced to a level I could not ignore!! Sales staff were their usual friendly selves and made the purchase an almost pleasant experience!! Delivery was punctual and the delivery team were courteous and careful, as usual. Overall a very positive experience and I feel sure will be purchasing there again soon.
Superb service - one of the best ever
After purchasing a 3-piece suite, unfortunately a fault occurred but Oldrids did not hesitate to replace it for us after just over a year. Mick and his assistant were so careful and kind. Their service was above and beyond - very pleasant and efficient - thank you so much to them both.
