We are extremely pleased with our under stairs shoe drawers. James was extremely hard working and professional. We cannot fault his work and the quality of the drawers. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delighted with the quality of our Understairs Storage!

Without doubt, from start to finish this has been the most professional company I have ever dealt with. The communication with Richard was always incredibly speedy, the timings of fittings always spot on, and the attention to detail by James during the fitting process second to none. Really lovely company to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone with an appropriate budget for a quality job with top level materials, and an unbeatable Lifetime Guarantee.

I must confess to some initial worries having seen that every single review from PAYING Customers were 5*. Perceived “wisdom” on the Internet appears to be that this is a “red flag” and that you cannot satisfy everyone … so it MUST be a scam! Well … quite simply, all the Reviews are genuinely 5* because that is absolutely the quality of product and service you will get.

I noted the odd 1* review, which on inspection were from people who had made enquiries and NOT gone ahead. Basically they had objected to the automatically generated response to the “Enquiry Form” asking for information on the Client’s budget. This seemed to me a very reasonable starting point, as is their policy of NOT providing Free “Design and Quote” services, and quickly sorts out those who are genuine potential clients, and those who are likely to just be buying on price alone, and who should perhaps be directed elsewhere!

We opted for the Shaker Style, and whilst this added about 50% to the price, it was so worth it, as it just fits in so well with the panelled doors throughout the house.

Amazing service as always

Amazing service as always! We had our understair storage fitted around 4 years ago and it has been a fantastic use of space in our home. The team have been out today to give a full service of the cupboards with us having so much use of them over the years to ensure the draws are working as they were when we got them fitted. Thank you so so much!

Disappointing Experience: Lack of guidance, Missed opportunity and Disappointing tone of interaction

Like some other reviewers, I ultimately did not become a paying customer due to the service I received during my initial enquiries.

I contacted Under Stairs Storage as a first-time customer exploring bespoke storage solutions. While the company responded promptly, I found the communication and overall customer service to be poor and less helpful than I had expected as someone unfamiliar with the bespoke design process.

To provide context:

1. On 19th January, I enquired about pricing and mentioned that I was new to bespoke storage, hoping to get an idea of typical costs for a project of my size.

2. On the same day, the company responded, explaining that costs depend on materials and design. However, no general pricing examples or similar projects were shared, leaving me uncertain about what to expect.

3. Later that day, I followed up to explain I didn’t have a budget in mind and asked if a solution under £1,000 was feasible. I received a similar response, but without the additional clarity I needed as a first-time customer.

4. On 26th January, after receiving a competitor’s quote, I asked for advice on maximizing space and how their bespoke service could better meet my needs. Unfortunately, the response did not engage with my query or differentiate their service.

As someone without prior experience in bespoke design, I found the communication difficult and the process challenging. I felt more guidance or practical advice on how to proceed would have been beneficial. The communication placed expectations on me to already know specifics like materials and finishes, which I found difficult as a new customer.

While the company may work well for experienced customers, I felt their customer service didn’t fully cater to someone in my position. If the engagement had been more tailored to help me navigate the process, I would have considered paying for a quote, even if it was above competitor prices.

I shared my feedback in an honest review to help the company improve its approach for first-time enquirers. Unfortunately, following this, I received several emails from the company that I found distressing. The communications included demands to amend my review, threats of legal action, and personal references to my address and business details. I felt these messages were unnecessary and intimidating, which added to my negative experience.

I hope this feedback is helpful to both the company and future customers.

Review amended on 28/01 as per Trust Pilots request as flagged by the company.

You simply made an enquiry - You are not a paying customer - Your version of events differ from our system transcript below;

Please see the real timeline of events and communications below; Genuine paying customers will make their own mind up based on your misconstrued version of events;

1) Sunday 19th January 1748hrs - Enquiry received

2) Sunday 19th January 1750hrs - Response sent to you

Thank you for providing the information. Please confirm what raw materials / style / finish you would like to specify for this project along with a budget you would like us to design and work to. We are a bespoke manufacturer specialising under the stairs and the only one that does so within the UK on a National basis. The choice of materials are endless but a budget will dictate what materials and design can be specified based on their costs along with the installation detail required. Best wishes,

3) Sunday 19th January 1753hrs - You responded

Thank you for your reply. I am looking for something hardwearing. Budget wise I have no idea as this is my first quotation. What sort of price range does this usually cost for the size I've given? The highest point is 1380mm, the lowest point in 580mm and the depth is 690mm. I am looking for something hardwearing and functional, it doesn't need to look really pretty so I'd be happy with a plain finish if that's cheaper.

4) Sunday 19th January 1757hrs - We responded

Hi, we are a bespoke manufacturer, there are no starting prices it is subject to raw materials as explained in my last email. Without a budget to design and work to we are unable to identify if we can assist you further. Thank you for your enquiry and best wishes

5) Sunday 19th January 1800hrs - You responded

Thanks for clarifying.
Is it possible to do under £1000?
Regards

6) Sunday 19th January 1802hrs - We responded

Hi, definitely not with ourselves but you could try a local joiner, just remember VAT is 20% of your purchase and we are a National company, best wishes and good luck with the project.


6) Sunday 19th January 1808hrs - You responded

If you could at least provide a rough price range or a starting price based on the size I need, that would be great. I haven't really got a budget at the moment as I am making enquiries. If going with yourselves and paying extra means I'm paying for a bespoke service then I am happy to do so, but at this moment in time I don't know how much these cost as like I said you're the first person I've reached out to.
Thanks for your time


7) Sunday 19th January 1810hrs - We responded

Hi
What you pay will all depend on who you go to, the thickness of the material and the raw material used. We are the only national bespoke specialist operating under the stairs in the United Kingdom. We do not offer free quotations because we receive over 200 enquiries per day. What I would suggest is that you go and get all your other quotations, identify where you’re happy price and product wise and then if you wish to come back to us then feel free to do so. Best wishes.


8) Sunday 19th January 1812hrs - You responded

No problem, thanks


9) Sunday 19th January 1812hrs - We responded

Pleasure


10) Sunday 26th January 2152hrs - You responded

Hi
We've just had a quote from xxxxxxxx (attached)
I was wondering if you can help up maximise the space better given your bespoke service. With xxxxxxxx they have advised a standard cupboard on the left as the electric fuse panel is located under the stairs and a combination of a draw and pull out draw.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards


11) Monday 27th January 0306hrs - We responded;

See point (7) The same reply.

You then left a negative review. We don't quote against other designs sent to us from companies with lesser offerings.
Your version of events is inaccurate, you could not get yet another free quotation! Your budget was not realistic, you are disgruntled, you never had the option to select our services. Your review is not truthful!

Understairs Cupboard

From talking to Richard, discussing what we required and what they could do for us to James coming to install the cupboards it was all very professional, prompt and courteous and reasonably priced. Richard was very helpful in advising us and James was very hardworking in installing the cupboards. We highly recommend this company.

Professionalism and outstanding quality

What an amazing company! I want to say a huge "thank you" to Richard and James; we are so pleased. I will be recommending Under Stairs Storage to everyone who's considering having a storage solution built. I wish all companies were so conscientious and I wish they paid so much attention to detail as Richard and his team; this is so rare these days. James treated our house and the project with so much care as if it was his own; he worked really hard and asked questions to make sure we were happy with the outcome. Richard was so helpful and responsive from start to finish and I can honestly say that this was "money well spent"; the quality is outstanding and you can tell that it will stand the test of time! Many thanks again!

Long term review (18 months)

We purchased our under stairs storage unit 18 months ago, with a plan to rate the product (good or bad) after significant use. I can share that the product is quite simply one of the best home improvement purchases I have ever made. I have a large family including a teenager who uses the cupboards like she is sealing an aircraft door, and even with this heavy use multiple times a day, the product remains in perfect and strong working order.

I did choose this product based on its over engineered design, and I am pleased I did as I have no doubt we will have decades of use without any issues.

The space and design of the product is second to none, hiding a multitude of shoes, jackets and bags.

And it looks very high class in a minimalistic design.

High praise from me and I would recommend to anyone considering what to do with their under stair space.

Thank you kindly Martin for your review. We appreciate this along with your valued custom. With regards fitted furniture, it is only as time passes that you can judge the quality of what you purchased. It is kind of you to explain this so consumers can understand it is not all about price if they are looking for something to last. Thank you again from ALL our team for selecting our Under Stairs Storage services and solutions.

Hard to imagine it being done better.

Really excellent job. They probably regret taking me on for a first floor triple return staircase with four changes of pitch and bizarre curved understair moulding, but the final result has exceeded my expectations. Price very reasonable for bespoke furniture installation even down selling me at one point. Fitter worked a long hard day and left area very tidy after he was done. Strong recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough of this…

I cannot speak highly enough of this company , the service and quality of craftsmanship. The drawers were installed impeccably by a highly professional team who were super polite, super tidy and created an amazing finish. I am absolutely delighted with the cupboards and the after-care service has been equally as impressive - if only all customer service and installations were this good ! don’t consider any alternatives , these really are simply perfect and you will be delighted with them Too .

Thrilled with the storage space implemented by USS under my stairs. The company clearly knows what it is doing and not only does the space look great it is very well made and fitted together. I have no hesitation in recommending the company, they did a brilliant job.

Small firm beautifully formed. Thank you.

Good detailed conversation initially, which continued through the design process, including colour choice.
My concern about reliance on my measurements were addressed and proved groundless - fitting on site was skilfully done with no head scratching, and the day ended well.

Richard was amazing from initial consult. I really appreciate how responsive he was as it reassured me that I could trust the quality of his work.
