Delivery and service was excellent.
Bedbase looked good and strong in the shop.. but once delivered.. its just cheap wood structure... cheap plastic brackets to connect two half bases...metal would be better... the feet for the bed did not screw in properly only could tighten two up. One was completley loose the other fell off when we moved the bed base..
But once all put together now with a good heavy mattress on top.. looks great.. (but its not really)

A very smooth trouble free experience.
Very smooth trouble free experience from the sales person at the Rayleigh Weir Branch to the delivery a month later. Assembling of the Bed and Tallboy was very straight forward - no missing parts the only slight problem was we found one of the runners on the Tall Boy was fitted incorrectly but this was easily rectified.

First class product and service
Ordered from showroom, clear precise delivery date which was honoured. Driver messaged early on day of delivery and him and his mate arrived spot on time.
Shoes off and delivered all 4 boxes to our room of choice.
Construction of bed took me and my son in law 90 mins to construct with no errors and minimal head scratching.
Bed looks first class, divan type bed with smooth operation.
First class product, service and delivery.

Well done Bensons at Rayleigh
From start to finish our experience was excellent, which we find hard to come by these days!! Choosing a bed was a hard task because you want to get it right. You certainly get what you pay for with Bensons. We were served by the very knowledgeable Jay at the Rayleigh branch and he really knew his stuff and was not pushy in any way, which we liked. He showed us all of our options then left us to decide.
The Delivery was also excellent. The two chaps, sorry didn't get your names, were professional, took great care and time to give us information on caring for the product. Would recommend the Rayleigh branch.

Delivery disappointing…
The initial contact with customer service was excellent. We were provided with all the information we needed and were happy to wait for the arrival of our bed.
We paid a delivery charge of £69, which we were told included delivery as well as the delivery team taking photographs of the bed upon arrival in case any issues arose.
When the delivery day arrived, the team simply deposited the bed and left. There was no unwrapping of the item and no photographs were taken. When I explained what we had been told, the response was that if we experienced any issues, we should contact the store.
Given the cost of the delivery service, we felt this fell short of the high standard of customer service we had initially received. While the ordering process was excellent, the delivery experience was disappointing and did not match the expectations that had been set.
