We went in looking at sofas and suites

We went in looking at sofas and suites. Elaine Fern came over to ask if we needed any help but, we didn’t at that point. We did ask some questions about the sofa we were looking at, she was able to answer our questions easily, with great knowledge of the product. However, when we did require help Elaine was able to assist us with ease, she left us to decide between two sofas. When we had decided which one, again Elaine was there to speak to us about prices, as well as all options to pay. She was friendly but definitely not pushy at all. Gave us plenty of time to consider and decide. Lovely lady, hang onto her, don’t always get sales people like her, worth her weight in gold. Hopefully delivery of goods will be as good as the service from Elaine. Thank you Elaine.

I had a fantastic experience at Sterling Home Furniture\. Lauren Grant was excellent from start to finish\. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to talk me through the different options without making me feel rushed or under any pressure\. She answered all my questions and made the whole sales process easy and enjoyable, helping me choose the perfect chair\.

I’d also like to mention the manager, who was equally helpful\. We ended up staying a little after closing while the paperwork was completed, and it was never made to feel like an inconvenience\. They were patient, professional, and even helped us get the chair into the car before we left\.

Excellent customer service all round\. Lauren and the team are a real credit to Sterling Home, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Very happy with my new sofas

Very happy with my new sofas. All staff I dealt with were helpful and friendly from sales point to delivery. Furniture was ready earlier than expected however it was no problem to store it until I was ready for delivery.
Delivered at stated time and delivery team took care in the property.

Forced hidden fee

After choosing a bed and bedroom furniture to match at your uddingston branch, we were brought to the desk to pay for the goods, the woman we dealt with explained that the delivery guys will come into our home and not to worry they will build our bed and and bring in the rest of the furniture and praised it as a great service, what she forgot to mention that I was charged a extra £119 for this service, at no point was this extra fee mentioned which is shocking.
Even during the conversation my husband said he would just build it and she said, no the guys will build it and put it where you want.
This is shocking that this fee is not disclosed to customers

Hi Andrina

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding the delivery and installation charge.

Whilst a delivery charge that includes installation is normal, we agree that all costs should be clearly explained before a purchase is completed.

We have forwarded your comments onto the store management team so that they can investigate what happened during your visit to our Uddingston store and review the sales process with the team.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we apologise for the frustration caused.

Hi John,

Thank you for your feedback.

We're delighted to hear that our delivery drivers provided excellent service. We're sorry, however, that your sofas aren't feeling as comfortable as you expected.

It may be worth noting that new upholstered furniture can take a little time to settle and soften with regular use, so you may find the comfort improves over the coming weeks. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope you'll soon be enjoying your new suite as intended.

Thank you for choosing Sterling Home Tillicoultry.
