Strachan Reviews 344

Strachan previously installed a range of units in our office/bedroom some ten years ago, which is still as immaculate now as it was on installation. Because of this, we decided to use them again to have fitted units in our spare bedroom. From design planning to completion, the process has been good. Apart from one part not being available, resulting in a later visit, there was also a mix up with the bedroom stool being the wrong colour, but this was resolved and was delivered today to complete the installation. Aaron, the fitter, was polite, very hardworking, clean and tidy, and kept us entertained with his singing. We advised him not to give up the day job! The installation was quite expensive, but as others have said, you get what you pay for. Also a 10 year guarantee. We would recommend.

From the moment I got in touch with them it was the beginning of a wonderful experience! Their attention to detail was impressive, their staff are very pleasant, and nothing is too much trouble. I chose a fold down bed with integrated cupboards and the quality is fabulous and they were fitted to the highest standard. I can highly recommend Strachan for both product and exceptional service.

We are really pleased with our new home office Strachan furniture. This process was made all the better by "Aaron" - the installation engineer who went above and beyond in all the work he carried out. A thoroughly nice "chap"who is a credit to Strachan, even if his singing is something to be desired!

Strachan have just finished installing a fitted bedroom including a Murphy bed. We are absolutely delighted with the end result. The design process was thorough and and supportive. The fitter Pete needs a special mention his attention to detail and skills are exceptional. Thoroughly recommended.

Great product, good design process, not unreasonable price (not cheap but you get what you pay for!), very good experience with communication and fitting. All-in-all an extremely positive experience from every point of view. Back office support and communication good, did exactly what they said they would. Thank you! 10/10

Strachan appear to be the only furniture makers to offer true bespoke fitted furniture. My study was very complex to meet multiple needs and they met every challenge to get me exactly what I wanted. Excellent job from design to installation with superb customer service.

Exemplary customer service - the best. Bought office and bedroom furniture from Strachan about 20 years and, due to recent office refurb, I’ve needed some spares. Strachan customer team have promptly sent out parts, no quibble. Sometimes, it is worth paying a little bit more for quality and customer care.

Great experience from design to installation.
We approached a number of companies and Strachan’s designer proposed a solution that best met our requirements. This was a bespoke design and not handicapped by having to fit within a restricted list of unit sizes. We are impressed by the high quality of the units delivered and the care taken during the installation.

Communication was a nightmare start to finish. They failed to send out documents, confirmation of order etc. The surveyor did not bother to actually measure up or review properly, missing electrical inputs and meaning when the fitter came the parts did not fit. The installation had to be completed at a later date after much chasing.

Extremely premium pricing with low quality service. Shop elsewhere if you can!

UPDATE: Following leaving this review Strachans got in touch. After some internal discussion they wanted to highlight:

1. They do not offer compensation as a practice - even if their errors cost you time and money

2. They would consider offering a 'goodwill gesture' equivalent to about a 1.5% refund - but they would only consider this if I took this review down.

(They were very clear they did not want to position it as paying to take the review down... Just that if the review did come down they would be very open to making such a gesture, and otherwise they would not)

I would advise all potential buyers to consider this practice when they see the typically positive reviews on the webpage.

This company has a good reputation, but I take issue with their methods. I paid a deposit on the day of the salesman's visit on the basis of this reputation. The salesman repeatedly assuring me I could change anything. I informed the company that I wished to change a number of things, but the long and the short of it is that they failed to revert to me until after the cooling -off period (the existence of which was not mentioned until after it had passed) and when we were unable to agree on what I wanted at an appropriate price, they refused to let me cancel my order and return my deposit. Rather than enter a protracted court battle, I agreed to a compromise which has regrettably left me with a hideous (and very expensive) piece of furniture which I will have to paint (thereby incurring further expense) to disguise. Sad that a company like this pursue an outcome that was always likely to leave a dissatisfied customer, even if he is a fool who has been easily parted from his money.

I offer no criticism of the fitter or the construction of the furniture at all, but I am NOT a satisfied customer.

Excellent service from the company and staff. Fitter worked diligently with care and expertise.
We are delighted with the final result and quality of the furniture and units

Strachan Furniture fitted some wardrobes and a wall bed for us and we were delighted with the whole service and finished product. Lawrence the fitter was very professional, turned up on time, completed the job without any issues and left the room clean and tidy. We could not have asked for more and would not hesitate to recommend the company

Everyone was marvellous. I would recommend strachans to anyone wanting fitted furniture 100%. Every person involved was brilliant. I would definitely use them again, thank you guys xx

I had furniture fitted in my son’s bedroom and a shoe closet in the hallway by Lawrence from Strachan Furniture. The workmanship was great and I loved the design and the way the furniture was fitted and finished.
Lawrence paid attention to details and after his work he made sure that he left the place very tidy. He advised us on how to care for the furniture and reminded us about the furniture 10 year warrant.
My neighbour saw the work that was done and she too loved it and is planning to call Strachan in the near future for her own home furniture.

Very reliable with excellent quality product. All staff easily accessible, helpful and responsive. Designers and fitters adaptable to make sure the resulting furniture meets your wishes

I had bespoke wardrobes fitted by Strachan and am very happy with the service and the product. Everything ran as planned and the fitter was very hard working getting the work done in a day and a half. I would certainly recommend them

Over the past year I had had bespoke furniture designed and fitted in our master Bedroom, Living room and a his/hers Study. This is the second property where I have used Strachan.

The workmanship is OUTSTANDING. The fitters are top quality who have pride in their work. Also the support throughout the process from the admin staff was also top notch.

We are delighted with Strachan and rate them highly. Out of 5 stars I rate them 10 stars!

I had a library bookcases and ladder from Strachan and although there were several blips on the organisational side the product itself is fantastic and the fitter, Martin Wales, I cannot praise highly enough. He always arrived bang on time, was friendly, polite and incredibly hardworking. His professionalism was outstanding.

The service was excellent from start to finish and the after service continues to be the same. The speedy response times and professionalism from all of the people involved has been exceptional and my library is all I wished for,

Everyone I dealt with was helpful and offered good advice. Very importantly, the work programme set out at the beginning was maintained which allowed me to plan other activities in preparation for moving to a new flat. Gio, who fitted the furniture, was meticulous in his attention to detail and careful to ensure everything fitted properly.
