Outstanding customer service

The member of staff who helped us understand, select, and buy a riser recliner chair was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and went over and above to help us get what we needed. He was a real expert and offered invaluable advice. Also the selection of these chairs available at Sterling was fantastic. Much better than every other store we visited. The chair was delivered to our family member within days and was exactly what they needed, they love it. I cannot recommend and thank Sterling enough. This is our third purchase from Sterling this year and we will now always go there first when looking to buy furniture.

Edit based on Sterling's reply: the employee I refer to in my review is Kerr at the London Road branch, who deserves the recognition.

Pleasant experience

Quality of staff and furnishing on display. Layout of shop was ideal for browsing and we were not being pressured by staff. However, when we did require help the staff, Richie and Richard were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.. No hesitation in recommending Sterling to anyone looking for furniture.

⁹I ordered and paid £1,883.15 in full for a sofa on 31 December 2025, six months before delivery. Unfortunately, from the day it arrived I had concerns about its finish and appearance. This resulted in two upholsterer inspections, lengthy waits for reports and months of correspondence. The first inspection concluded there were no faults, which completely undermined my confidence in both the process and the product.

I ultimately requested a refund, not because that was what I wanted, but because I had lost all confidence after giving Sterling Home every opportunity to resolve my concerns.

Sterling Home promotes itself as a retailer of quality products backed by quality customer service. Regrettably, neither reflected my experience. The final goodwill gesture offered specifically in recognition of everything that had happened amounted to £47.08, which I did not feel fairly reflected the time, inconvenience and disappointment this experience caused.

I cannot recommend Sterling Home based on my own disappointing and stressful experience.

Personal attention was spot on and not too pushy, just right.
Special mention to Lauren Grant who looked after us very well. She certainly knew her stuff and was able to advise in a very professional, friendly and respectful way. Felt she was there to help us rather than push a sale.

Knowledgeable staff who were helpful

Knowledgeable staff who were helpful, friendly and approachable, without being forceful or imposing. We visited a few times to make sure the sofa was the right one for us and we were able to speak to the same salesperson (Matthew) each time and this was helpful and made the transaction flow smoothly. We were able to discuss delivery dates that suited us. Overall it was an easy and pleasant transaction.
