No waffle just full explanations. Very helpful and very patient because it’s important to get furniture just right. Plus the coffee and biscuits are always a very welcome gesture.

Absolutely excellent service from Christine at HSL Orpington. Key things of note: she took her time, didn’t rush us and crucially didn’t appear to be pushing us to make a decision. Sofas and chairs ar... See more

What a wonderful experience shopping at HSL in Orpington

What a wonderful experience shopping at HSL. We were met at the entrance by Christine and there followed a delightful experience from being offered tea or coffee to a very pleasant journey finding the chairs that we wanted. Christine was exceptionally nice and the service from a very careful fitting (as we need two different size chairs) to the preparation of a quotation was completely without pressure or obligation. On Our second visit a few days later we met Ros (and later Christine again) who was equally attentive and just really nice. We discussed some options and had some questions answered before signing off on the two chairs we absolutely loved.
Thank you very much Christine and Ros for your wonderfully helpful advice and for lovely attention. It was a great pleasure to meet both of you. Thank you too HSL for making difficult decisions easy.

Excellent service

What a difference true, personalised and friendly service makes! From start to finish this morning, Jonathan at the Orpington branch made an urgent need to replace the old trusted HSL chair that my 92 year old mother has been using for the last 30 years, an easy and efficient process.
He was kind and courteous and it felt as though he was helping his own mum pick the right one for her needs.

Jon at Orpington store

Parking at the rear of the shop is excellent, rear access for a wheelchair was excellent, Jon the sales man bent over backwards offering refreshments and help with selecting a chair that was right for me as I’m in a wheelchair.

HSL Orpington, Christine highly recommended

We visited HSL Orpington today and were thoroughly impressed with the reception and introduction from Christine in the store. She was absolutely amazing, so helpful, informative. She put us at ease whilst looking to purchase a new riser recliner chair. There was absolutely no pressure and the amount of time we had to browse the store, try out the various varieties available which was reinforced by Christine’s knowledge and advice. We really felt as though we weren’t just customers, but were considered as valued individuals whose tailored needs and comfort were completely considered . I truly wonderful experience and brilliant hospitality with tea, coffee and biscuits! Couldn’t recommend Christine and HSL Orpington any more highly. Really do sit at the very hard of

Lovely supportive chairs

A great experience from when we entered the shop and offered coffee and biscuits to being shown the different riser chairs by Ros who expertly explained the different type of motors and showed us the material swatches. This enabled us to make up our minds and order the chairs with confidence

Thank you so much

Happy New Year.

I would like to express my sincerely thanks to Jonathan for his professional advice and patience in recommending the perfect HELMSLEY chair to me which I have ordered
on 31/12/2025.

On 30/12/2025 (my first visit) he suggested that I bring my slippers along another day and sit on the chair for 15 minutes or so to make sure that the chair was the right height for me.
On 31/12/2025 (my second visit) I sat on the HELMSLEY chair with my slippers on and my feet was touching the floor, and the suggested Petite size was ordered.

Thank you for your professional advice, I can not wait for the HELMSLEY ready to be delivered.

Best wishes,
Linda Winch.

I can’t thank Ros enough for her professionalism and attentiveness. Ros really knows her products and couldn’t have been more helpful. She really went above and beyond with my order. One item was missed off my order which she added very quickly and sent revised the order form. Well done Ros and look forward to receiving our order.

Christine

Christine, the member of staff who served us at the Orpington branch, was both patient and knowledgable as she steered us through the various options available for our chosen design of sofa and chairs. If the delivery experience is as painless as the sales process it will be ten out of ten for HSL.

Professional, knowledgeable and understanding

Jon was excellent, listening to what my father wanted, showing us the various recliner chairs that were suitable for him. He was patient, explaining the best options and all the various extras available, which might be beneficial for his health issues. He's now looking forward to receiving his Ripley Grande!

Ros at HSL Orpington was very helpful in guiding us through the options available for the chair we ordered. It was a real pleasure dealing with her and she ensured we left happy, even taking the trouble to make sure our exit from the car park was clear.

The delivery people arrived early

The delivery people arrived early, they phoned to let me know,they , were very helpful, taking my old chair out the front and loading it in my car so I could take it down the rubbish dump.
Then brought the new chair in and then went through the controls. They were very pleasant. They were not in a rush.
