After visiting DfS a week previously we went back, knew who we needed to talk to- Stephen. He remembered us, we knew exactly what sofas we wanted. From start to finish less than an hour. Stephen was very thorough, explaining delivery & process. Very pleasant experience. Thankyou!

Alex was amazing!
We recently visited DFS Chelmsford to buy our first sofa, and Alex made the whole experience an absolute breeze.
What stood out straight away was that he gave us space to browse without immediately approaching us with a sales pitch. After noticing we were looking around, he came over and explained that he could see we were interested but didn’t want to jump straight into selling to us, which we really appreciated.
Once we found the sofa we loved, Alex was incredibly kind, caring, and personable. It never felt like he was just trying to make a sale. Instead, he took the time to understand why we wanted a new sofa, why we had chosen that particular model, whether we had measured our space properly, and how we planned to use our new corner sofa.
He carefully explained everything, including all the terms and conditions, making sure we fully understood what we were purchasing. His knowledge, patience, and genuine interest in helping us find the right sofa made us feel completely comfortable and confident in our decision.
Buying your first sofa can feel a little daunting, but Alex made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Outstanding customer service from start to finish — we owe him a pint!

Chelmsford DFS very friendly and helpful
We came with an idea of what we wanted and was free to walk around without being followed or pestered as some companies do. After looking at the sofas available we changed our mind from a corner sofa to 2 two seaters
Steve who assisted us when we decided on a sofa was very helpful and friendly

Very helpful
Very helpful, they made sure to cover everything you needed to know. Very accommodating and even showed you other furniture with similar dimensions that they didn't have in the showroom so you could visually get an idea of the actual size. Lovely experience.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sofa! 🤩
We had Marco help us today, from the Chelmsford store.
He was very knowledgeable, didn’t feel pressured, he made us feel welcome by making us a coffee and showing us options with the colours.
To be honest, i have never received such good customer care, an asset to the company. Thank you!
