Canterbury Staff Excellent Customer Service.

Staff at Canterbury store were very helpful initially in providing details of sizes of items. When we discovered that our space couldn’t accommodate our choice- no problem! We found an alternative and the sales representative quickly dealt with the problem without any drama or worry.

Happy customers

We love our new furniture! From start to finish our order was handled brilliantly. From ordering in the shop and actually being able to see what we are buying, keeping us up to date with our delivery and to the delivery guys (Mark and Danny) super helpful, unpacking, placing furniture and taking all the boxes with them.

No pushy sales people

No pushy sales people, able to move chairs around before choosing. The staff very efficient and knowledgeable. Only down side was only one staff member around.

I had a wonderful time…

I had a wonderful time buying furniture for my new house with Trudi’s help. She totally understood my vision and how I wanted different rooms to look and her stock knowledge was second to none. She was also very supportive of my slightly dazed husband and even he became more and more enthusiastic. She gave us the perfect balance of time to wander around and availability to answer all our questions. She found ways to make sure everything can be delivered at the right time for both of us as well. If there’s an employee of the year competition she’d win the prize!

Lovely store with great customer service

Great staff, good team spirit, couldn’t do enough to help. Very pleasurable human shopping experience where you can look, try and get a feel for the products. Hate online shopping for furniture and furnishings. Like to see the product, so much nicer. Lovely store in Canterbury.

Great support available

Using the one way video call button to connect with in- store expertise was brilliant - so much better than a chatbot. Big shout out to Verity at Canterbury branch

I was rather disappointed that I couldn’t take the goods home. I have to get them delivered - even though I was buying something small enough to carry.

If I had known that - I would have ordered them online and stayed at home on the sofa!

Your sales team were very helpful and patient, without putting any pressure on us. They answered all our questions clearly, and allowed us to move different chairs around, so we could reach a positive decision
