Our new wonderful chairs, his and hers.

Well. We were treated very well in store, honest helpful discussion about your chairs. We weren't rushed at any point.
The delivery was excellent and on time, although we expected to be waiting at least another two weeks.
The drivers put the chairs where we wanted them and were extremely helpful and polite.

Who new buying a chair would be enjoyable.

Quote from my Mum in law ‘I shall never forget this day’
And that’s because of the patient care and attention from Collette in the Poole store
Collette, made sure that the chair we purchased had the right, healthy fit. Had the professional ability to know and the caring nature to be patient and understand.
Thank you Collette - we all very much appreciate your help

We were very impressed with the attention and atmosphere in the Bournemouth store. Mary was patient, friendly and professional during our visit. Her help was invaluable in helping us to chose the best sofa and chair to suit us both.
The interior of the store is very nice.
Would have liked to have seen the outside decor improved as it might put off customers coming in.

Slightly disappointed

The sales assistant was helpful but I felt rushed. Also the fabric I chose was only available in the tiny swatch in the book, and I was told it wasn't used on any products in store or online, or in the catalogue. At the end of the purchase the assistant handed me my receipt with an attached check sheet which the assistant is supposed to go through with the buyer, but she had already ticked them all off despite not going through several of the points with me - one of which was the 7 point seating assessment. I was a little disappointed that this was all so rushed. I just hope my chair lives up to expectations.

Poole store is a great place....

Warm welcome from Andrea at your Poole / Bournemouth store on arrival. Plenty of opportunity to test various optional seats. Sound advice on how to choose a correct chair. Good approach to achieving a mutually acceptable price for a full suite of furniture.

Totally recommend HSL in Branksome, Poole

Mum and I visited the HSL store in Branksome, Poole to have a look around and ordered two settees! From the moment we stepped into the store we were given a very warm welcome. Emma and Andrea were super helpful and knowledgable. We felt very well looked after and Mum is now excited for the arrival of her new settees.

I took my elderly not well mother to the Poole site to purchase arm chair, we were greeted by the 2 ladies working the Sunday shift, both lovely and very friendly, then Emma helped us out, she showed us round the showroom and showed mum the options which were exactly what she needed for her situation. Emma was great, very friendly, professional and delivered a great service. Mums looking for to the delivery of her new chair.

Amazing customer service

I visited the Poole branch and was met with a warm welcome from Andrea, whose customer service was outstanding. Andrea was extremely helpful and also knowledgeable about the specific chair I was looking for. HSL even deliver to the Isle of Wight… I can’t wait for my new chair to arrive.

Chair delivery

Jason and Ashley delivered our chairs. They were friendly, cheerful and proficient. They put everything together and demonstrated how to work the recliner. It was a smooth, positive experience.
We have had an excellent service from HSL from the show room to the delivery. Thank you.
