Excellent quality products at very fair prices....even better during the sales!
I have furnished various properties with Raft furniture now.
I live in Richmond and loved our local…
I live in Richmond and loved our local beach of Raft which sadly closed last year. I decide to check out Westfield last week and was so happy to see the same great sales staff from Richmond! I met Amin Hadi when he was local but I was in the process of moving so not ready to buy. Amin helped me last week with the purchase of a new sofa and ottoman. He listened to what I was interested in and gave me time to think about decisions with no pressure. Also worth noting I have a very small front entrance and Amin talked me through all the access options which was a weight off my mind as I didn’t want to have to settle on my choice based on this constraint. It has been a great experience and I cannot wait for my furniture to arrive.
True professionals & high quality furniture
I have bought furniture from Raft (specifically Tony Ansong from the St Albans store) 4 times now. Tony and the entire Raft team are true professionals. The furniture is high quality, the fabrics really last and the delivery service is brilliant compared to other furniture companies. We are so glad we've invested in Raft vs cheaper options out there. It's really worth it. Tony is absolutely wonderful! Always responsive and customer centric. A pleasure to do business with!
Want a sofa? Go to Raft in St Albans!
We absolutely love Raft St Albans and couldn’t be happier with our sofa!
A special mention has to go to Tony, the manager, who was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly patient and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The sofa was completely customised for us — from the filling and arm width to the length and every other detail. There were so many beautiful fabrics to choose from, which made the whole experience feel truly bespoke.
Tony’s team were excellent throughout as well. Communication was fantastic, and the delivery was smooth and hassle-free.
The sofa is honestly the best purchase we’ve made for our home so far. It looks amazing, it’s incredibly comfortable, and we love that it was made exactly to our preferences.
Thank you to Tony and the whole Raft team — we absolutely love our sofa and couldn’t recommend Raft St Albans highly enough! ❤️

The team at raft were extremely helpful in putting together my order. I was debating over a few items and they were always responsive in their communication and flexible in what they could offer in terms of price and delivery.
Shout out to Bilguun for putting together about 4 different order forms for me as I continued to add and change my mind!
Love all their furniture too

Great experience and top sofa quality
Great experience and top sofa quality.
I have taken long time to chose the right sofa and Bilguun and Eric have been super helpful and available in the Westfield shop at every visit.
We love going to Raft in St Albans
We love going to Raft in St Albans! Hosna has always made it a great experience each time we’ve bought something from there. She’s always been really helpful and patient and always gives great recommendations. We can’t wait to go back to buy a few more furniture bits!
Truly the worst customer service I have…
Truly the worst customer service I have ever experienced. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive when it came ot questions about the sofas or process. I expressed my disappointment with the customer service experience, and was continually met with rude and dismissive representatives, and provided little to no information. For the amount of money being spent on these furniture items, I am appalled. I have never been spoken to this way by anyone in a customer facing industry. Shocking. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for furniture.

Excellent from start to finish
Excellent and expert service and advice both in store and during delivery. Good quality products. I really appreciated being able to view products in store
Tony and the team at St Albans
Tony and the team at St Albans were very helpful when we went in to buy a rug and coffee table, Tony went above and beyond to have to coffee table delivered from the central warehouse for me to look at in person before we bought and its perfect.
Thank you again.
Lana was an amazing customer…
Lana was an amazing customer representative today. Given all the information in order for me to make an informed decision on placing an order.
Finally found a sofa that fit through my stairs and I like
Very pleased with my sofa and the service provided.
The sofa is very comfortable and looks great.
The Raft team were also hugely helpful. I have a very tight staircase so struggled to find a sofa that would go up, but the Raft team did an assessment of the property before it was ordered and the delivery was hassle free.
The service in store was also very personal and a great experience.
Second purchase
We went back to Raft Furniture because we were impressed with the quality of the dining table we had bought from them years ago. The staff at Westfield White City are always friendly and patient. This time we bought a bed. The delivery and assembly were as expected and we are very happy with our purchase again!
We recently ordered a table and chairs…
We recently ordered a table and chairs from Raft Westfield Branch, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Delivery took a bit longer than expected, but it was absolutely worth the wait — the craftsmanship and quality are outstanding. The whole family loves how the pieces look in our home; they’re beautiful and clearly built to last.
The delivery team deserves a special mention too — professional, courteous, and careful with everything. Would happily order from Raft again!
Great service
Lana been great and found me a marching cushion to the wall colour I have at great discount
