Slick service

Slick service - excellent delivery of a very fragile item - checked by staff at the shop then repackaged and forwarded to me !

The standard lamp when collected was in four pieces and lumps of polystyrene around main pieces. No bag or wrapping and it’s all over the car and me….. more B&Q than one expects at Glasswells. Let’s hope that when the chairs and settee turn up we are more impressed.

Proper store with no pressure

So me and my missus wondered into Gasswells which which we've been in before to go to their fabulous restaurant as the food absolutely delicious and has table service. So as we were walking though we were looking at beds and sales assistant asked are we ok ,yes just looking no pressure from the sales assistant at all we had are food and came to a decision to take a second look at the bed ,we decided to buy we approach the sales assistant we 1st saw and made our purchase she was very easy to talk to and no pressure. In all a very good experience in-store.

Easy shopping

My son and I went to the store knowing what we wanted a Stressless Reclining chair:-
A lady greeted us at the door and directed us to the right department a further assistant found us brochures and samples . The gentleman that had a wide knowledge of the Stressless products was most helpful . Chair ordered job done

Ben at the Ipswich store was super!

We came in looking to buy our first sofa and carpet, Ben guided us through the whole process start to finish, he expertly found us exactly what we were after and we were sold.
Ben then helped us pick a matching carpet alongside James to compliment our new sofa and now they are both in, they look great and are exactly what we were after. James helped us measure our living/dining room up for the carpet and get us booked in swiftly for installation and deliveries. Both made the experience very settling and couldnt recommend them more!

Happy customer

Fantastic service this weekend. Peter was knowledgeable about the range of beds, mattresses and headboards and was patient while I took my time to choose from the many available options. Got a good price on the sale and Glasswells will hold my items until I'm ready to take delivery.

Ben Saunders

Ben Saunders was an example of how to help a potential customer, polite, patient, knowledgeable about the products, and was not pushy, and he is the reason we will come back to Glasswells again.

Impressed new customers!

We are new to the area and had been recommended to Glasswells by friends. It soon became clear for the reasons behind their recommendation.
We were in the Bedroom section where we were served by Peter. He proved to be a very courteous and knowledgeable member of the Glasswells Team. He relayed information on a range of products ensuring our understanding and he responded to our questions in a very clear and relaxed manner. He was by no means "heavy sell" but rather the reverse. Having given us all the information we needed, he gave us time to think and consider before proceeding to complete the transactions with detailed explanations as to next steps etc.
In summary, we considered Peter to be an excellent member and representative of the organisation and we have had no hesitation in returning to him subsequently for further guidance, support and purchases.
