Great product
Sales experience was easy, and though the delivery took some time (as do most good sofas) it was more than worth the wait.

Quality products and service
Olu was very informative and knowledgeable about the products we were interested in purchasing. The process was simple, straight forward and never pressured. Looking forward to seeing the new sofa in our home.

Visit to Islington Loaf
I had previously visited Islington Loaf as it is quite easy for me to get to and I have a Loaf sofa and armchair that I wanted to match with a little cheese stool. The shack is relaxed with very helpful staff and it was useful to verify my choice in person. I later completed my purchase with confidence online. I then needed to get a shearling cushion as a gift and did not have enough time to order it online so visited Islington Loaf. The staff (esp. Simon) were very helpful in assisting me to choose the right shape/look that I wanted. I really appreciated the time taken and the genuine interest shown in helping me with my choice.

Terrible communications
First of all I wanted to call the Islington store to ask if they would hold a lamp for me, because it was showing as in stock there on the Loaf website (but out of stock through the website). There was no number published for the store, so I called head office. The woman on that line said customers can’t call stores directly, but she’d message Islington to ask them to call me back - they never did. So the next day I travelled up from Kent to go to the store hoping to buy the lamp only to be told that the lamp was a display item, not for sale, and that nothing can be bought directly from their stores. Why does the Loaf website indicate items are available in stores if they can’t be bought? Why is there no phone number for stores - is it because they are just showrooms? (in which case make that clear rather than calling them ‘Shacks’ in an irritating attempt to sound funky). And why did no one call me back as requested through head office? I wasted time and money on a completely unnecessary trip, caused by Loaf’s terrible communications.

Amazing store
Amazing store! Could have stayed all day! Simon in particular was absolutely brilliant, as was Geri. They were very helpful and friendly, and took great care of us and our kid. Wish we had reason to come back!
