I’m always dubious when ordering online as obviously you can’t see/feel the item/material. After exchanging some messages with the very helpful staff, I decided to risk purchasing the sofa! It... See more

Written by the company
We are not a typical furniture store. In fact, we do virtually everything differently. We receive and process clearance stock from traditional retailers. Retailers send us clearance stock for many reasons. We receive photography samples, end-of-line stock, cancelled orders. This stock is sorted, quality checked, photographed and uploaded to our website. As our name suggests, we were founded in 2019 by Joseph and James. After leaving school at 18, they launched the company from a dilapidated basement unit in a Stockport mill with just 5 sofas. The popularity of their discounted branded sofas and rapid delivery model facilitated strong growth. Joseph and James have always sought to do things differently from the incumbent outlets. This began by being the first furniture outlet to host a website which showed their live stock and was available to be ordered immediately by customers. Joseph and James don't wish to be just another furniture outlet, they want to be the biggest furniture outlet. They want to have a nationwide presence of large showrooms which offer a unique furniture shopping experience.

Had a video call with Rob
Had a video call with Rob. He showed me the sofa and chair and let me see it reclining. I was able to see all the sides, no marks or scratches. There was no sales pressure. He left it with me to decide and said to contact if I had anymore questions.
I decided to purchase and it was seamless. Booked delivery, they kept me informed and telephoned 30 mins before arriving. They moved my old sofa out for me, put my new chair and sofa in place. Unpacked and removed all packaging and plugged it in and checked all was working correctly.
5 star service, I got the sofa and chair I wanted within a week and saved £1800.
One very happy customer. Highly recommend.

Disappointing experience
Disappointing experience
The website support was excellent — the consultants were friendly, helpful and always answered my questions. 10/10 for customer service.
Unfortunately, the sofa I received was advertised as brand new, but it clearly appeared to be used. It had animal hair, damaged legs, tears and visibly worn/pilled fabric.
The delivery date was also changed several times, despite me taking a day off work to receive it.
Overall, I’m very disappointed with the product and delivery. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company.
