Such an amazing choice of everything
Such an amazing choice of everything. Very helpful start. Not at all pushy. Which would always make me walk out. Choice of designs and colours. Beds and mattresses. The shop was so well setup. Spotlessly clean. Excellent discounts too

Excellent customer service provided by Samantha…
My wife and I purchased a 3 seater sofa and snuggle chair from your Shrewsbury branch and we couldn’t believe how stress free it was compared to other retailers.
We were looked after by a delightful young lady whose name was Samantha Harwood, her attention to detail was fabulous and she certainly went the extra mile by showing us how our items would look in the colour we had chosen.
We wouldn’t t hesitate in returning should we require anything else and this would be solely down to the service we received from Samantha.

Salesperson Della was excellent but on a call to cousins to place order her colleague could not find the discounted price quoted because he couldn’t find it on the computer. Della called back when she was at work the weekend and confirmed original price and we placed the order. Staff should all know how to use systems.

Beware of delayed delivery times.
Bought a corner sofa from the Shrewsbury store for delivery within 16 weeks (thought we would support a smaller locally owned business rather than one of the big national sofa chains). Big mistake !! After a long and patient wait and subsequently paying in full for the sofa, we have now been advised that our delivery date will be 18 weeks from date of order. I know it's only an extra 2 weeks but it's a matter of principle. We ordered and paid for a sofa to be delivered within 16 weeks and that is not happening. Exhausted my patience waiting for the sofa, so have none left to trawl through their small print, which will inevitably excuse them from having to offer us any real sort of apology by way of a price reduction or even the offer of free delivery (we've already paid them an extra £89 for that!!!) I would give zero stars but I've given 2 stars in the hope that we are pleased with the sofa when it eventually arrives. We won't be shopping with them again

Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the delay to your order and appreciate how disappointing it is when an expected delivery date changes, particularly after you have already waited patiently for your new sofa.
Unfortunately, a number of unforeseen circumstances affecting international shipping and supply chains, including disruption caused by ongoing overseas conflicts, have resulted in delays to some containers arriving in the UK. Regrettably, this has impacted a small number of customer orders, including your own.
Whilst we always provide the most accurate lead times available from our suppliers at the time of purchase, the following note is included on our customer invoices:
"The lead-time quoted by our supplier is given as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed."
We understand that this does not lessen the frustration of having to wait longer than anticipated, and we are genuinely sorry that your experience has not met the high standards we strive to deliver.
We appreciate your patience and support of our family-owned business, and we very much hope that once your sofa arrives, you will be delighted with the quality and comfort of your purchase.
Kind regards,

I was allowed the freedom and space to look around without a salesperson following my every move. Staff were on hand for questions but then backed off and let me carry on browsing. This gave me confidence that I was not going to be pressured into a purchase. The whole experience was really relaxed.

Worst after sale service — A total scam
I purchased a dining table from Cousins Furniture in mid 2024 for nearly £1,200. The table has seen very light use, has always been kept dry and has been carefully maintained.
Around 15 months after purchase, I noticed that the surface layer had started lifting at several corners. I contacted Cousins Furniture and provided photographs of the issue. Their initial response was to reject my claim on the basis that the warranty had expired.
I was then asked to pay a £50 call out fee for an independent technician to inspect the table and advise on the cause and possible repair. I paid the fee and the technician visited my home. The inspection lasted only a few minutes. During the visit, he asked what products we used to clean the table. I explained that my wife looks after it and that we keep it clean and dry at all times.
The technician left me with the impression that the issue appeared to be a manufacturing defect and that Cousins Furniture would contact me regarding a resolution. However, after hearing nothing for several days, I contacted the company myself. I was then informed that the technician’s report allegedly concluded that cleaning sprays (which I never confirmed are used) had caused the surface to bubble and that the issue was not a manufacturing fault.
This came as a complete surprise, as the technician never indicated this during his visit. I strongly disagree with this conclusion and feel the company was looking for a reason to avoid responsibility for what I believe is a product defect. Furthermore, if ordinary household cleaning clothes were genuinely capable of causing this type of damage, I would expect a dining table costing nearly £1,200 to have a durable, properly sealed finish that could withstand normal day-to-day use and cleaning. In my view, a properly manufactured and finished dining table should not experience the surface layer lifting at the corners after only 15 months of light use.
After spending nearly £1,200 on a dining table, I expected far better product quality and much better after-sales support. My experience has left me extremely disappointed. Based on the way my case has been handled, I would not recommend Cousins Furniture and will be exploring my options for escalating the matter further

Reply from Cousins Furniture
Dear Mr Habib,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the outcome of your claim.
Following a review of the independent technician's report, we can confirm that the lifting of the corners has been attributed to moisture ingress into the surface finish. The technician has advised that this has occurred as a result of cleaning products coming into contact with the table's surface over time, rather than due to a manufacturing defect.
As the reported damage has not been identified as a fault with the product itself, we are unfortunately unable to offer a repair, replacement, or other resolution under the terms of the manufacturer's warranty or your consumer rights relating to product defects.
We appreciate that you may disagree with the findings. Should you wish to obtain an independent second opinion or pursue the matter further, you are welcome to contact the Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman, who can review the case and provide impartial guidance.
We understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for and appreciate your disappointment.
Kind regards,
Cousins Furniture Customer Services
Customer service excellent and good stock.
Large amount of stock to choose from at range of prices. I hate to buy online without seeing what I am buying, so was really pleased to see that I found multiple pieces for my taste in one shop, rug, bedroom furniture and sofas. Staff incredibly helpful and supported our needs. Bonus - café on site for coffee and breakfast!

Mattress Topper We had looked at Cousins several days…
We had looked at Cousins several days before, along with other bed shops. So we called at 2 other shops in Shrewsbury on the day but they didn't have suitable alternatives to see.
We then went back to Cousins for a refresh on the mattress topper we had previously viewed. The sales lady was extremely helpful, as the previous man had been. She was able to demonstrate the topper on various mattresses as comparisons, so we decided to go ahead and order a topper with Cousins last Friday.

Fantastic service and deals
My family and I popped into Cousins (tyseley) to purchase a new furniture set for our living room and after a short while browsing we was approached by Anne who asked.us if she could help, from meeting Anne until we purchased what we needed and left the store she was a fantastic salesperson and a lovely lady. She listened to what we wanted and guided us around the store to find out perfect suite. Anne sorted out delivery to suit our time frame and was just a pleasure to do business with, she is a total credit to Cousins and when we return in the near future we will definitely be seeking Anne out to do our business with.
