Customer assistant spoke to me as if I have no clue what I wanted. He was more interested in the sales and probably his commission

Assembly and service
I paid for the assembly of bedroom furniture twice and on both occasions the team damaged the beds. I had to wait weeks for it to be put right and one man was sent the first time and refused to do the job as needed two. More waiting. Customer services were not that helpful when complaining. Ordered a mattress, wrong one arrived. Complaints never resolved. Furniture good, service terrible.

First Visit - NAY, Next Visit -YAY
On my first visit to the Reading store, the staff seemed uninterested in explaining products, likely assuming I wasn’t ready to buy. I decided not to return. However, I later found a bed online that piqued my interest, so I visited again, planning to view the item and order online.
This time, I met Ishry, who was exceptional. He thoroughly explained the product’s features, financing options, assembly, and care details. The Reading store has an impressive range of beds and mattresses, but it’s the salesperson’s expertise that truly helps you make an informed decision.
I recommend Bensons for Beds train all staff to provide the same level of service and not focus only on certain customers. Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase and eagerly awaiting delivery.

Great quality products with a lot of variety
We visited twice this store before making the purchase. The first time staffs were not much helpful and asked us to explore the store by ourselves. However our second time visit was really great and I would really appreciate Ishry’s support. His insights about the product and buying-delivery process gave us confidence and we made the purchase.

It has been 10 years since we purchased our previous bed from Bensons. Ironically 10 years on we were assisted by the same Sales Rep. Richie from the Forbury Gardens store was very helpful on the day of our purchase and has offered great customer service since. We are yet to receive our mattress however the communication from Bensons for Beds has been great up to now.
