Marc from DFS in Gateshead made my experience purchasing furniture very easy from start to finish. He gave me excellent advice regarding which sofa to buy which would accommodate having pets, and he explained all about the 5 year cover plan which will protect my furniture. Additionally he showed empathy for my health condition, helping me to choose a sofa that was suitable. Marc went above and beyond even staying way past his shift finish time to help me. I had the best customer experience ever in DFS and I would highly recommend them and in particular Marc to help you buy new furniture. A****

In store experience at DFS Metro Centre was superb. We were assisted by Juliet who was very knowledgeable about the ranges, took time to explain everything in detail and understand our needs and preferences. Can’t wait to get our new sofa.
