Raft Experience

Great customer service here at Raft, Westfield (White City).

We have been several times and it’s always been extremely welcoming. We will be coming back to purchase more furniture and recommend to friends / family.

Fabulous service from Raft in St Albans, with a very special mention to the lovely Hosna, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were advised, guided and supported throughout; nothing was too much trouble and we were totally at ease with our final decision, a beautiful modular unit for our home.

The whole team at Raft were fantastic, delivery faultless and we absolutely love our purchase thus far.

Thank you so much to all the team at Raft St Albans.

10/10

Couldn't be happier with our experience at Raft. We visited the Westfield store in June to see the sofas in person and they really lived up to our expectations. Kamil was wonderful throughout the whole process and helped us explore all options to ensure the sofa was exactly what we wanted and fit through our narrow doorways. The expected delivery timeframe was 10-12 weeks but it got delivered in 6! Couldn’t recommend them more.

Great showroom experience and sofa

My partner and I had a fantastic experience buying our new sofa with the Cricklewood showroom team. Abasin was very helpful and showed us all the sofa styles, fabrics and financing options. We enjoyed a glass of Prosecco in the showroom to celebrate. Plus the sofa arrived weeks earlier than anticipated and it’s gorgeous. Thank you!

Hello Emily,

Abasin is an asset to the team - we always love to hear about your in-store experiences! A glass of Prosecco to celebrate a sofa purchase is a must - we're delighted that you were so well looked after. We really look forward to seeing you again and wish you many years of comfort, happiness and memories on your new sofa.

Best wishes,

Desk with imperfections

Desk with imperfections. Unfortunately not the experience we expected from Raft.We ordered a new desk and waited 6 weeks only for it to arrive with drilled holes on the pieces of wood, in places where they were visible and where there was no reason for it to have holes. It was chipped in one spot and the glass top is not sitting entirely into the holes that are made for it to attach. In general not the quality we expected for the price. This should be a clearance piece keeping in mind the condition that we received it .The next day someone came and feeled the drilled holes and the chipped part and that was it.The glass top still doesn't sit entirely in the holes that it is supposed to.I called the customer service and emailed the lady that helped us place the order in the first place and she said someone would call me back within 48 hours. 5 days have passed no call whatsoever. I also sent pictures where the imperfections are obvious. Nobody ever apologized for the poor condition of the desk or the inconvenience caused. Very unprofessional...

Purchased a sofa from Raft a few years…

Purchased a sofa from Raft a few years ago and have become more and more disappointed with it.
After a year the base cushions became flat and the foam inside became mis-shaped, I have reported it on several occasions and each time told it needs plumping - no amount of plumping is going to bring back the foam to its normal shape. One of the back cushions is noticeably under stuffed making it have a slumped look even when its just been plumped. I have on multiple occasions emailed to ask for prices for new cushions and what different options they have and never got a response or when I did was just told how much new cushions would be with no description of options.

Can't fault the product quality...

I purchased the Lincoln Love Seat in mink from the outlet store a few weeks ago. This is an enormous chair which was to replace a 2-seater sofa I had used for 30 years - so the outlet store route is not something I would usually consider for such an important piece of furniture - but it was exactly what I was looking for. What made my mind up is that a year before we had purchased a 3-seater sofa from the main RAFT store and are still impressed with its quality, look and feel (with regularish plumping!) - so I had total confidence in making such an impulsive purchase, without trying. I have found both products to be very high quality and worth the high price as I know they will both stand the test of time in both looks and comfort. From browsing in store through to delivery and installation, the company is completely professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We visited RAFT in Westfield after a friend recommended them, and they didn't disappoint! Kamil was very friendly, helpful and informative about the sofas that we liked and provided an excellent service! We ended up buying 3 sofas there - 2 for our lounge (the Marlow) and 1 chaise for our snug area (the Manhatten). The quality looks amazing and the service was brilliant; we are now excited to receive delivery of the sofas making our home beautiful and cozy.
