Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great product, Great service and British made by genuine craftsmen

Great sales person with extensive knowledge (Olivia; Huddersfield) helped us choose what we love as our Chesterfield. A couple of minor issues were dealt with well. 1. The cushions on our three seater did not sit level - so these were replaced and 2. 3-4 of the 12 wooden feet split after approx 8-12 months. Again these were replaced with more suitable feet without issue. These are minor but important quality issues which should be rectified at a fundamental level to avoid other customers having a similar experience. These issues prevented me from giving a 5 star rating

Hi there,
We're sorry to hear you don't find your Holyrood Chesterfield very comfortable. The Holyrood is a very traditional, formal model, and not one of our sink-worthy pieces.
We do have a 30-day money-back guarantee on Made-To-Order purchases, so if you'd have flagged your comfort concerns upon delivery, we'd have swapped your Holyrood for a deeper, more comfortable model.
Thank you, Elle @ Team Distinctive

Chesterfield Suite

Couldn't be more pleased with Distinctive Chesterfields in Huddersfield. The service in the showroom was absolutely brilliant. Excellent quality of build and all the staff are so knowledgeable.
The delivery went off without a hitch, considering we are difficult to deliver to, they listened to the issues and adapted their delivery to suit. The quality of the bespoke designed suite is perfect. Would absolutely recommend.

Superb products and customer service

I cannot stress fully the superb quality of the customer service, which was particularly noteworthy insofar as I was ordering from abroad using the website and the telephone. The chesterfield itself, which arrived more quickly than had been promised upon ordering, was absolutely top drawer. As such, I am delighted to recommend distinctivechesterfields.com without any reservations whatsoever.

Chesterfield three seater sofas

Overall very happy with the sofas my only disappointment was the cushions we ordered was the soft type. They are not comfy it seems the feather topping pushes into the corners and leaves an indent. Would have liked to have had more info with cushion options before ordering and would have opted for the firm option

Distinctive Chesterfield

I spoke with Dawn on several occasions.
Nothing was too much trouble for her and everything I asked was answered with great product knowledge.
I did all my ordering over the telephone as I live a long way from the showroom.

Dreadful company

Purchased 2 sofas last year. Overall the sofas are really nice. However, the seats are very poor. Had replacement inners as the original were thin and went out of shape. The replacements are awful. They are uncomfortable and shapeless. The actual seats are really poorly made, they don’t fit correctly, are all different and have cheap, brown plastic zips. The sofas are light grey.
Despite many months of trying to sort this, the issues have still not been resolved. They have told me that if I want new seats, I have to buy them. Totally unacceptable and unhelpful.
I would definitely not recommend this company.
UPDATE:
As I have had no further replies from Distinctive Chesterfields, I have taken the matter to a solicitor and am taking legal action against them with the support of my bank and Section 75 of the Consumer Act.
FURTHER UPDATE:
Provided bank with a report from ‘Furniture Reports’, a total of 21 manufacturing faults were found along with 2 safety issues.
Bank has issued me a full refund and advised me to dispose of sofas.
I can now purchase new sofas from a better more reliable and reputable company.

Purchased 2 sofas last year.
Overall pleased with the quality style and price.
From order to delivery was quick and efficient.
However after paying extra for feather filled seat cushions we were disappointed to find that they sagged and were uncomfortable.
After speaking to Olivia and sending requested photos many months ago we are still waiting for an update, no contact from this company has been attempted to rectify this problem. Therefore I would not recommend good customer services from Distinctive Chesterfields
