I ordered a chair for my daughter’s bedroom, and picked a ‘bespoke’ fabric from one of the books in the showroom. Olivia spent a long time helping me with my choice as I wanted something a little different. Really pleased, and great delivery! Thank you so much!

Highly recommended

I recently purchased a custom ordered club chair for my husband for a big birthday and we couldn’t be happier with it. We had a lovely visit to the Clapham showroom where Andrei very patiently talked us through several options and, when none of them quite hit the mark, helped us come up with a spec for a wider version of the Rockingham model which was exactly what we were looking for. Delivery was right on schedule and the finished chair is absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend! And we may be back soon for a footstool!

Non-existent customer service post sale

All was well, like the majority of the 5* reviews, until I needed some post sales support.

Based on my current experience I wish Distinctive Chesterfields were as attentive after the sale, as they were pre sale - have been waiting 7 months (and counting...) for a technician to be booked for a chesterfield pleat repair that came undone within the first year of ownership, after being told that their guarantee would not cover it.

Emailed the sales assistant several times over the past months but had no reply. When I called the showroom and asked for an update; was told that the 3rd party they use to repair the sofas did not pick the job; what shocked me the most at this point was that after 7 months of waiting no one from Distinctive Chesterfields ever apologized for the long delay or offered to rectify the problem, they just don't care. All after sales problems seem to be brushed off to their 3rd party repairer, whether they end up contacting the clients or not.

I asked them to have their 3rd party company contacting me directly, if that does not happen within a reasonable timeframe will have to go via the legal action under the consumer act.

New addition, post repair:
The sofa was repaired to satisfactory standard however the "white gloves" delivery service scuffed and damaged my wallpaper and the sofa. Distinctive Chesterfields refused to take responsibility for the damages, dismissing them as wear and tear (with no evidence of their own) and asked me to contact the delivery company to complain, this is a breach of the consumers act and therefore company was reported to trading standards.

Always helpful

Distinctive Chesterfields have always been so helpful and efficient in all our interactions, both when buying a couple of sofas and then with a couple of accessories.

Stunning Leather Chesterfield!!!

This gorgeous Chesterfield sofa made its trip from England to California this past week! It is beautifully made with gorgeous leather as well! I am an Interior Designer and this sofa definitely elevates the design of the room! In addition, Ruth, my salesperson, was stellar when modifying the design to my exact needs. I needed the sofa to be taller and it was perfectly adjusted. She was an absolute delight! I have already received multiple compliments on the sofa!

Excellent customer service from Andrei in their London branch. Showed us lots of different options and listened to what we actually wanted. We changed our minds a few times after initial quote but Andrei just required and ensured it would fit into our chosen room after sending pictures with dimensions. Excellent sofa and two stools purchased which was worth the money and wait. Would definitely recommend over other so called chesterfields.

Ruth Olbryh is a design genius

Ruth Olbryh is a design genius! Her expertise in selecting critical furniture pieces for your home is unmatched. The couch, one-seater chair, and footstool she recommended have gathered nothing but rave reviews from your guests and family members. Ruth is by far the most talented and visionary consultant you could have ever worked with. Her attention to detail, understanding of your style preferences, and ability to transform a space into a masterpiece is truly commendable. Thank you, Ruth, for your exceptional service and for making our home a place of beauty and comfort.

Love my stunning Chesterfield velvet couches!!

We received our 2 Chesterfield velvet couches. They are beautiful! We love them!! I also love the brass oval emblem on the back of the couches saying where they were made. What a classy touch 😃  I wanted elegant and that's what i got 😃🥰 They are very comfortable. My husband was worried about them not being comfortable but he is very happy with the comfortability of them.  Ruth Olbrych, thank you for helping us with this!! The whole experience was amazing from beginning to end.  You were a JOY to work with! The guys that delivered them were stellar! They were very nice, careful, paid attention to details and even offered to move them around to see where we liked them the best. They even said we have great taste and the couches were beautiful!  You have a great delivery company! Thank you so much for helping us ❤ Next time you're in Greensboro we would love for you to come see them. Thank you again.

Amazing!

I ordered a Chesterfield Office chair through their US Rep, Ruth Olbrych. Ruth provided excellent customer service through all aspects of the selection, provided swatches, and regular updated once the order was placed.
I couldn’t be more impressed with this UK handmade leather office chair. From the moment it arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another mass-produced piece of furniture—it’s a work of art. The leather is rich, supple, and beautifully finished, giving the chair a luxurious look and feel that immediately elevates my office space.

The craftsmanship is outstanding. Every stitch, contour, and curve feels intentional and refined. You can tell real care went into every detail. It’s also incredibly comfortable—supportive in all the right places, with just the right amount of firmness. I spend long hours at my desk, and this chair has completely changed my posture and comfort level throughout the day.

Beyond function, it makes a statement. Guests and clients often comment on how striking it looks. It’s rare to find something that merges design, comfort, and quality so seamlessly.

If you're looking for a chair that’s as enduring as it is elegant, this is an investment you won’t regret. Highly recommended.

I researched a lot of Chesterfield manufacturers before choosing Distinctive. I was looking for a sofa bed option and was surprised to see how few there are on the market that are of this caliber. Before buying anything, the pre-sale communication (ordering swatches, logistical questions, measurement clarifications) were all answered quickly. I had updates regularly and once delivered, I was pleased to find the sofa to be exactly as described -without a flaw. I would recommend, and will continue to shop here.

Elegance and Ease Combined

Company representative was kind and easy going which took any stress or uncertainty out of the purchase. She was knowledgeable about the craftsmanship, color combinations and appropriate size for my space.
I could not be more pleased with my sofa. So elegant and comfortable.

Everything went well until the delivery. When you sell beautiful higher end furniture, you should try to find a delivery service that matches your image. The company that was contracted to deliver my loveseats was beyond rude, incompetent, and hostile.

Beautiful, not the most comfortable

My three seat wingback chesterfield is the most beautiful piece of furniture I've ever owned, but not the most comfortable. After about a year of use, the cushions have sunk quite a bit towards the middle of the couch, and don't bounce back. I still wouldn't trade it for the world, though!

Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. I love the new sofa and it arrived on time and extremely well packed. It was missing a button and Ruth immediately had a professional upholsterer here within the week. I live two hours from a major city. That was no obstacle. He was very impressed with how well the sofa is made. Absolute quality from professional folks who know their craft.
