We were attended to by Finlay Barrow.

We were attended to by Finlay Barrow, polite, knowledgeable, very helpful, no pressure salesman. He gave us as much time as we needed to look around, ask questions, try various seats, we had a short walk around and decided to deal, all completed easily, recommended.

Avoid

⁹I ordered and paid £1,883.15 in full for a sofa on 31 December 2025, six months before delivery. Unfortunately, from the day it arrived I had concerns about its finish and appearance. This resulted in two upholsterer inspections, lengthy waits for reports and months of correspondence. The first inspection concluded there were no faults, which completely undermined my confidence in both the process and the product.

I ultimately requested a refund, not because that was what I wanted, but because I had lost all confidence after giving Sterling Home every opportunity to resolve my concerns.

Sterling Home promotes itself as a retailer of quality products backed by quality customer service. Regrettably, neither reflected my experience. The final goodwill gesture offered specifically in recognition of everything that had happened amounted to £47.08, which I did not feel fairly reflected the time, inconvenience and disappointment this experience caused.

I cannot recommend Sterling Home based on my own disappointing and stressful experience.

Personal attention was spot on and not too pushy, just right.
Special mention to Lauren Grant who looked after us very well. She certainly knew her stuff and was able to advise in a very professional, friendly and respectful way. Felt she was there to help us rather than push a sale.

Knowledgeable staff who were helpful

Knowledgeable staff who were helpful, friendly and approachable, without being forceful or imposing. We visited a few times to make sure the sofa was the right one for us and we were able to speak to the same salesperson (Matthew) each time and this was helpful and made the transaction flow smoothly. We were able to discuss delivery dates that suited us. Overall it was an easy and pleasant transaction.

Both the manager and the sales rep Scott Jarvie were attentive, efficient and highly professional in assisting us with purchasing all furnishings for a new 2 bedroom home. I was particularly impressed with Scott’s knowledge and the accuracy with which he captured a complex order first time.

Poor aftersales service, expensive sofa broke quickly.

Really disappointed in aftersales service. I paid almost £2k for a two seater electric recliner. About 10 months later it stopped working, stuck in the up position, annoyingly. After much back and forth a technician is coming out to look at it - i reported the fault 13th June and the technician will be out 12th August. An entire month with sofa stuck up is pretty poor service, especially for what they bill as a luxury reliable product. Two stars because staff in the shop are helpful but afterservice has been poor and the product itself very quick to breakdown.

Edit - Sterling have replied to say that they are waiting for parts. This is wrong, the parts have been delivered to my house already. Frankly, customer service doesnt seem to know whats going on.

Hi Russell

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with your electric recliner and the frustration caused by the length of time it is taking to resolve the problem.

We appreciate that a fault occurring after only 10 months is disappointing, particularly for a product that is expected to provide long-term comfort and reliability. We also understand how inconvenient it has been to have your furniture not functioning properly. We can see that a visit from the inspector was arranged quickly however, we are waiting on the replacement parts which is causing this disappointing delay.

Whilst we're pleased to hear that our showroom team have been helpful and supportive, we have taken your comments regarding the after sales service on board and we understand your frustration at having to wait on the parts. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We appreciate your patience while this matter is being resolved and hope that the technician's visit on 12 August with the parts will allow us to have your chair working fully again.

Kind Regards
The Sterling Home Team

We went in looking at sofas and suites

We went in looking at sofas and suites. Elaine Fern came over to ask if we needed any help but, we didn’t at that point. We did ask some questions about the sofa we were looking at, she was able to answer our questions easily, with great knowledge of the product. However, when we did require help Elaine was able to assist us with ease, she left us to decide between two sofas. When we had decided which one, again Elaine was there to speak to us about prices, as well as all options to pay. She was friendly but definitely not pushy at all. Gave us plenty of time to consider and decide. Lovely lady, hang onto her, don’t always get sales people like her, worth her weight in gold. Hopefully delivery of goods will be as good as the service from Elaine. Thank you Elaine.
