Early delivery of sofa
Bought a sofa and Sterling said unfortunately it won't be delivered before Xmas 2025, low and behold we got it 1 week before. There was an issue from the supplier in that the wrong cushions arrived with sofa, informed Sterling and they sorted out. Good company to work with and great customer service.

Two Faulty Sofas in 10 Months - Appalling Experience with Sterling Furniture Aberdeen
I purchased a leather sofa from Sterling Furniture Aberdeen (Bridge of Don) on 26th August 2024, and was told to expect delivery in 12 weeks. In early December, I was informed of a shipping delay, and the sofa finally arrived on 23rd December - just in time for Christmas.
Within Days, I reported multiple faults including a misaligned electric headrest. A technician confirmed the issues, and the sofa was returned. Despite this, I had to continue paying monthly whilst the replacement process began!
Rather than reorder the same model, I chose a completely different sofa, hoping this time the quality would match the price. Again, I was told to wait another 12 weeks.
The second sofa arrived on 23rd June 2025 - and UNBELIEVABLY, it was also faulty straight out of the box. Major defects were visible immediately. I submitted photos as requested, but Sterling's management offered no accountability and no explanation.
They simply picked it up and refunded me - no compensation, no goodwill gesture, nothing!!
Nearly a whole year wasted. Two Defective Sofas. SHOCKING Quality Control and complete lack of customer care.
**AVOID STERLING FURNITURE ABERDEEN AT ALL COSTS**

Dear Lynne
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We are genuinely sorry for the prolonged inconvenience and frustration you have described.
We fully acknowledge that the service you received did not meet the standards we aim to provide.
Experiencing faults with two separate sofas, alongside extended delivery times, is understandably disappointing and not reflective of the quality or customer care we strive for.
While delays and manufacturing issues can occasionally occur, we appreciate that this does not lessen the impact on you as a customer, particularly over such an extended period.
We apologise for the disruption caused and for any distress during the replacement process.
Your feedback has been shared with our senior management team and our suppliers, as it is vital for us to review our quality control and communication processes to help prevent similar situations in the future.
Once again, we are truly sorry for your experience and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Kind Regards

Fantastic customer service!
Fantastic customer service!
We visited the Abz Sterling branch yesterday to look for some new sofas for our upcoming move. We had a very clear idea of what we wanted in terms of style and comfort, but also had a maximum budget in mind, and I was initially concerned that Sterling could be out with our price range. However, the current Spring Sale offer meant that we could purchase two beautiful sofas within budget. As we also added in a dining table and 4x chair set, the order was further discounted by Jason and Aaron, which we are very grateful for. Jason initially greeted us and talked us through fabric options etc before handing over to Aaron for the rest of the sale and both were very helpful and knowledgable. Aaron in particular was very clear when talking through the pricing list and explaining what the benefits were for taking out the 5-year care policy. It made an expensive experience very easy and painless, so thank you! I'd also like to thank the rest of the staff on the shop floor for being so friendly to my toddler when he was initially roving about.

Hi Lucy
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and lovely review.
We’re delighted to hear that your visit to our Aberdeen store was such a positive experience and that the Spring Sale allowed you to find the perfect sofas within your budget.
Jason and Aaron will be especially pleased to hear your kind words. We’re proud of the knowledge and care they bring to every customer interaction, and it’s great to know that the fabric guidance, clear pricing explanations, and care policy discussion helped make the experience smooth and stress‑free.
We’re also glad our team could help with additional discounts on your dining set and that the wider shop floor team helped make your visit enjoyable for your toddler too, we always aim to be welcoming for the whole family.
Thank you again for choosing us, and we wish you all the very best with your upcoming move. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

nicoletti suite
Order a nicoletti suite, cost over £5000. Got it delivered 3 weeks ago. Moved it today to hoover and all you hear is a screech, look under and here instead of a plastic foot is a bare bolt! And my laminate scratched. When we looked over the suite, as we haven't used it and been away. We discovered numerous faults with stitching, staples, pitting etc, duly reported. Contacted trading standards that advised that because its less than 30days we are entitled to a refund. But no you want a "technician" to look at it even though we sent over 20photos. It's a poorly made suite that won't last over 12 years like our other suite. TS also said they need to sent the inspector within the 30days or we can "reject" the suite. Also phoned the furniture ombudsman.
Ive got a progressive lung disease and told the salesman that it better be a good suite as this would probably be the last one I buy and better be comfy. Looking for a stressfree conclusion to this fiasco. Never had an experience like it.

Hi Maria
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are genuinely sorry to read how upsetting and stressful this situation has been for you.
We understand your concerns regarding the defects you’ve identified, including the missing foot, damage caused to your flooring, and the issues with stitching, fixings, and overall finish.
We appreciate you supplying photographs and raising these matters promptly, and we fully acknowledge how disappointing this must be, especially when the suite has seen minimal use and represents a long‑term investment for you.
We are also very sorry to hear about your health condition and take on board what you explained to our salesperson at the point of sale. We appreciate how important comfort, quality, and reliability are for you, and we regret that this situation has caused you additional stress.
While we appreciate that you have been advised of your rights, our request for an independent inspection is standard procedure and is intended to ensure the matter is dealt with fairly and thoroughly.
A member of our customer care team is reviewing your case with the aim of reaching a resolution that is fair and transparent for you.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Great sales and measuring service kirsty very helpful in the shop no rushing us and had samples sent out to us. Bridge of Don store.
Unfortunately their installation people are letting the service down, or 3 to 4 week wait us now going to be 3 months. Had we known this we may not have made these purchases, we may have looked at service elsewhere.

Hi Mhairi
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear about your positive experience with Kirsty at our Bridge of Don store, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind comments to her.
That said, we’re very sorry to hear about the delays you’ve experienced with the installation. We fully understand how frustrating it is when expectations around timescales aren’t met, and we sincerely apologise that the original 3–4 week estimate has extended to this length of time. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
If you’re happy to do so, please contact our installation team directly with your order details and they will help you with a more detailed response.
Thank you again for your feedback, it’s invaluable in helping us improve our service.
