We came 150 miles to visit the showroom to see Himolla sofas and chairs and both agreed it was really useful to travel as the staff were so knowledgeable- it’s not just about style but the fitting for our dimensions! We had an extremely warm welcome with toilets hit and cold drinks and parking all on offer. So it is definitely worth coming up to Harrogate to get proper advice- quite superior to anything on offer in the southern area we live in.

Really good Sales service

The sales room had a large number of mattresses and bases which allowed me to do a good comparison. The salesman who assisted me with choosing my mattress and base was impressively well informed, listened carefully to my needs and gave me the information I needed without doing an over-hard sale and generally made the experience pleasant… I suppose the final proof will be when the bed and mattress are delivered.

Steve Dyson was extremely helpful

Steve Dyson was extremely helpful. He gave us all the information we required to decide which of the Himolla range best suited our needs for comfort and support. We were given all the time we needed to come to the right decision and at no time were we pressured into making up our minds.
It was the most pleasant shopping experience. There was a very comprehensive range from which to choose.
I would most certainly recommend Smiths of Harrogate to anyone looking for a professional company to deal with.

Excellent service

All interactions with Smith’s of Harrogate were positive. Sales staff, carpet fitters and delivery men were all helpful and knowledgeable - nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to friends, family and anyone looking for a really professional company to help with home furnishings.

A really good customer experience

Have used Smiths previously to buy Tempur mattresses and have always received excellent service. This time was no different. From first contacting Frank Nickerson (Bedding Manager), then dealing with Scott (Transport Manager) and finally our mattress being delivered by Dan and Mark, the service was first class. Everyone we spoke to and dealt with were knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. The mattress was also competitively priced. Overall, a really good customer experience.

Excellent service from the first phone call.

Excellent service from the first phone call on my enquiry re bedroom furniture, Frank gave me all the details and sent photographs as I live 80 miles away.
I visited the showroom and decided to purchase the furniture the following day.
Graham was very helpful without being pushy just full of information.

They make you feel like a valued customer

They make you feel like a valued customer.After placing the order the follow up phone call is an excellent idea to confirm the item that you ordered was correct and offered a 20 percent deposit instead of the full amount paid.Good customer service.

Frank was amazing

Frank was amazing! Helpful, efficient and knowledgeable and spent time talking through different tilting bed options and mattresses to ensure we found the right one for my elderly mother who suffers with severe neck pain. Brilliant customer service.

A pleasure to deal with Smiths of Harrogate from start to finish no pushy sales person to deal with instead a friendly knowledgeable and happy to listen person to deal with as i had a few query’s regarding the Opera adjustable bed i was interested in purchasing so thanking you very much Frank you made the whole purchase a pleasure. I did make the correct choice with my Opera adjustable bed and it’s a real pleasure having an adjustable bed for my needs. The delivery team were friendly, polite and respectful of my home and got on with the erecting of my Opera adjustable bed easily with the knowledge they have so thanking them for that. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Smiths of Harrogate for any furniture needs especially Opera beds.

Exemplary Service - Five Stars plus!

My husband has an aggressive, terminal illness and I urgently needed to find him a suitable, swivel recliner chair, preferably electrically operated. I also needed it sooner rather than later, so a 12 week order lead time was not going to work for us. Having searched for a chair locally (we are in Kent!) I discovered Smiths of Harrogate online and telephoned them. John Chamberlain was extremely helpful and advised me that they did have a chair available that fitted my remit, but that they did not deliver to Kent. John sent me photographs and a video of the chair in action and I said that I would look into how we could arrange collection. However, the following morning just after 9am I received a call from John to say that he had spoken to their transport company who were prepared to deliver the chair to us at a minimal cost - much less than it would have been for me to hire a vehicle to collect. John also pointed out that due to my husband's condition, we were eligible to purchase the chair less VAT and he forwarded to me the necessary document to complete and return. I am thrilled to say that the purchase and arrangements were completed within the hour and we are looking forward to delivery next week. The service received from Smiths of Harrogate (John in particular) is exemplary - how refreshing to be treated so well. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough, as I am sure that all their employees have the same friendly, informative, "can do" , efficient attitude. Five stars plus!

Happy Customer!

I ordered an expensive (for me!) chest of drawers. The pricing was very competitive and the customer service exemplary. Human beings answered the phone and they answered my questions patiently and with reassuring expertise. Delivery was as promised, to the bedroom up a tricky staircase. Great products at a great price and great people. So good to see that businesses like this still exist.

I am 86 years old and throughout my long life, I have bought many major items, houses, cars, furniture etc., and without doubt, Smiths of Harrogate, stands out as probably the best company, for quality of products, sales and aftersales service and customer care, I have ever dealt with. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and all their employees, from showroom staff, to delivery people are competent and professional, and I know what I am talking about as I was head of sales training for one of the biggest companies in the world. Special mention has to be made of John Chamberlain, who went that extra mile, in sorting out a problem that I thought would be a major headache to me, but he handled it with aplomb and proficiency, making the problem just a minor setback. Thank you for your efforts.

The Extra MIle

We ordered an Ercol sofa and chair from Smiths and they are really good pieces. Very pleased with them. There was real difficulty in fitting the 3 seater sofa into the front room. We wanted to give special thanks to Liam and Mark - who delivered the furniture - they went more than the extra mile is making sure the sofa got in safely. Excellent experience with Smiths from the ordering through to the delivery. 5 stars indeed
