I love the shop layout and space
I love the shop layout and space. I can feel and see the well thought out layout which caters for visitors.
We went over with the kids to try the new egg chair. The kids were kept well entertained with a cinema room and popcorn. They also have a couple of board games.
There was a large amount of furniture from sofas and chairs to beds tables as well as kitchen items.
The only reason I have a 4 rather than a 5 star is because they were a bit understaffed at the time, which meant we had a bit of a wait before we were looked after.

Worth a visit to a store
The collection of furniture at Battersea was very good.
The large screen worked well when looking at items in various colours- so much better than on the phone.
The assistant was very helpful.

What a fabulous experience, sofa shopping is now a pleasure
What a fabulous experience ordering our new sofas at the Battersea Shack. We were assisted by Tiegan whose knowledge of the range of products is excellent, and was incredibly attentive to our needs. Thanks Loaf, you’ve made shopping for sofas an absolute joy.

Delivery reneged and service shambles
I was told 2-3 working days delivery then received an email saying it had been booked for delivery in 10 working days - that’s 18 actual days. When I called was put on hold - number 1 in queue changed after 5 mins to number 2 in queue. Eventually got hold of someone who said they’d change it and honour delivery contract - very apologetic. Heard nothing more. Called again and salesperson blamed Parcelforce problems and didn’t confirm any delivery time. A shambles in customer service.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and I’m very sorry for the frustration this has caused.
I completely understand your concerns, particularly given the initial 2 - 3 working day delivery timeframe you were advised, followed by the later confirmation showing a much longer delivery window. I also appreciate how disappointing it must have been to experience delays and conflicting information when trying to get this resolved.
We have now requested further information from yourself so that we can fully understand what has happened and provide you with a clear and accurate update. As soon as we receive confirmation, we will be in touch to clarify the situation and confirm the next steps.
Thank you for your patience while we look into this, and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
Paris

10/10 experience
Everyone in the store was so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly (we dealt with both Liams who were great). The shop were also set up in a way that made what could have been a stressful situation actually really enjoyable. Bonus points for the tea cakes!!

Wonderful customer service
Buying a sofa is a big purchase - I looked at a lot of brands but I by far had the best experience with Loaf. They answered all my questions, allowed me to take my time and made it an enjoyable experience. I couldn’t be happier with my choice and I’m excited for this sofa to be the centrepiece of my living room.

Service Drops Off After Order Is Placed
I placed my order with an expected delivery window of 3rd–17th December, ordering well before the stated last date for pre-Christmas delivery. Unfortunately, the delivery has been repeatedly delayed. Originally I was informed that it will arrive on 31st well beyond the delivery window. A few days later I got a call informing me it will no longer arrive on the 31st December and is now scheduled for 3rd January 10 weeks after ordering and over two weeks after the original delivery window ended. I also never received a email to book a delivery.
What’s particularly disappointing is the number of delays and the lack of proactive communication. This is especially frustrating given that everything else ordered for the same room arrived on time, exactly as promised. When asking for a date in early December I had to wait more than a week for a reply.
The contrast in customer service before and after placing the order has been stark. Prior to purchase, the service was excellent, which gave me confidence to proceed with what is a significant and premium purchase. However, once the order was placed and money taken, that level of care seemed to disappear. There has been no effort to explain or make up for the delays.
Given the cost of the sofa, I expected delivery timelines to be honoured or, at the very least, clear and consistent communication when delays occur with some effort to make up for it or at the very least apologise. The experience so far has fallen well short of that expectation.

Hi Alexander,
Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry for the delays to your delivery and, just as importantly, for the lack of clear and proactive communication you experienced, we completely understand how frustrating this is, especially for such an important purchase.
This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we apologise that the experience after placing your order did not match the care you received beforehand. Your comments have been passed on so this can be reviewed properly, and we appreciate you highlighting where we’ve fallen short.
Warmest Regards,
Paris
Amazing Customer Service

Delightful staff and warm welcome
All three members of staff were absolutely brilliant, so informative and couldnt be more helpful. Store has a wonderfully welcoming feel. I’ve purchased a few items of furniture in the past and it’s gorgeous quality. Just purchased two velvet cushions this time but will be back for a mattress (so comfy) and one of the super stylish accent chairs

Loaf is a great company.
Loaf is a great company I've purchased a lot of homewares from them since 2021 when I got my first lamp online. I've been to the Battersea store twice once recently for an event I was invited to. It's a great store in a lovely location in Battersea big and spacious and invitingly comfortable to try out the sofas. The store has lovely friendly ready-to-help staff and nothing is too much trouble. I thoroughly recommend this store.

Unbelievably good customer service
The staff at the Battersea branch were so helpful and kind, in particular Liam. I went with my mum and they helped us to figure out how to structure our sitting rooms and what type of sofa to buy. When they found out that my mum had gone to hospital for a procedure, they sent her a bunch of flowers which was so touching and thoughtful of them. I couldn’t rate them any higher!

It’s lovely to hear that the flowers brought a little comfort during your mum’s time in hospital, the team genuinely care about our customers and your kind words mean a great deal to them.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We couldn’t be happier that we were able to support you and we hope your mum is recovering well. If there’s ever anything more we can do, we’re always here to help!
