We purchased a 2 seater and a single…

We purchased a 2 seater and a single chair from HSL back in February. 8 weeks later our furniture arrived and was assemble in our living room. Within a week we noticed some faults such as stitching and the filling of the seats. We reported this to HSL and they sent an independent surveyor to assess the faults. He found so much wrong they ordered a replacement suite which arrived another 8 weeks later. This time the 2 seater is OK but we found that every time we sat on the single chair it made a loud noise. We called HSL again and a new surveyor came out and said the springs on the single chair are hitting the wooden frame so we are going to have to arrange a home repair which will take around 90 minutes. No consideration to whether we are happy to have this repair done in our home or that we may wish for the chair to be repaired at HSL.
Please think extremely carefully before you purchase anything from HSL as l personally think they're quality control is absolutely pathetic and there quality extremely poor. Maybe they should take a really good look at their manufacturering department as their is oversly a serious problem.
I will certainly not be recommending them to anyone.

Good afternoon,

I am very sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with both your original suite and now the replacement chair. This is not the quality of product or level of service that HSL prides itself on delivering.
I also understand your concerns regarding the proposed in-home repair and appreciate that you may wish to discuss alternative options.
If you would kindly email me your order details or contact information and I will investigate this further and make contact with you to discuss further.
Kind regards,

Well Done HSL

The ladies in the showroom were helpful and efficient. I mention Mary and Jess in particular. The delivery men arrived when they were expected and installed the chair with the minimum fuss. Very well done to all. Thank you. I am also delighted with my Stressless chair.

Service and product quality were first class.

Andrea the Sales Consultant was excellent. She was pleasant and very helpful in terms of matching my requirements to the correct chair. We had problems in terms of delivery but she helped to solve the problem by helping to shoehorn the chair into my small car.
Even payment was made less painful over a cup of tea and biscuit.
I am very happy with the quality of the chair and with the quality of the service provided, I would certainly recommend HSL

Staff always friendly and helpful.

Staff always friendly and helpful.
I was only ordering arm covers and I hope this pair at £104 won't take as long as the last pair I ordered.
The end product was superb but it took almost 2 months.

Our specialist Mary

Our specialist Mary, she was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. We never felt hurried and were able to try the chairs and was able to show us a sample of the fabric we had chosen. We were delighted with the whole experience and would certainly recommend HSL. Looking forward to the delivery and enjoy the comfort of a new chair. Thank you.

Poole/ Bournemouth branch …

Was impressed with the Poole/ Bournemouth branch of HSL. Was served by trainee James who managed the whole purchase of what I required very well indeed. There was no pressure, all my questions he answered very clearly. I did not go into the store with the clear intention of buying but in the end purchased a reclining chair. The whole experience was very good.
