Sofa order

Leather sample and brochure arrived promptly after our initial enquiry. We followed this up with a visit to the showroom where the staff were most helpful enabling us to make our choice and arrange delivery which was carried out on schedule and carefully by the carrier. All in all a very good experience and the sofa itself is of superb quality. Quality product at a very competitive price.

Overall review

I’m happy with the quality of the sofa.

What was poor was that initially the wrong sofa was made for me resulting in a lengthy delay to finally receiving the sofa that I ordered.

Credit to the company for the speed of reacting and ensuring the wrong sofa was removed quickly and I found the company very good to deal with. Quick responses and very helpful.

This would have been 5* if not for the order mix up.

Excellent service and lovely sofa!

I have been very impressed with the level of customer service and communication from The English Sofa Company. Messages were answered promptly and everyone I spoke to (including Nathan) were helpful and friendly. Had to reschedule the delivery but that was done easily. Delivery service was excellent as well. And sofa is just lovely.

Lovely sofas, but …

I purchased two large leather Chesterfield type sofas and have been very pleased with how comfortable they are as well as their looks. However, over a period of around 18 months, one issue has been very significant fading. Admittedly, they were near windows and therefore were exposed to light, but we were not prepared as to how serious the fading has been.

Hi Dr Lister, thank you for taking the time to share your review. It’s good to know you’ve been pleased with the comfort and appearance of your Chesterfield sofas. We’re sorry to hear about the fading you’ve experienced over the last 18 months. While natural light can affect leather, we understand how disappointing it is when the change is more noticeable than expected. Your feedback is helpful, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

I have been looking to purchase

I have been looking to purchase. A new sofa for over two years.
I have visited some of the large furniture retailers, I have been left
Disappointed what they had to offer.
I could not find the style,quality,colour or size of sofa I wanted.
In the end I decided to have one made.
I contacted the English sofa company to request a brochure.
I looked through the brochure with interest, I seen the style of sofa I liked, the size I wanted was perfect.
On request, the company sent me
Quite a few sample swatches of fabric material to choose from.
I selected the sample fabric I wanted and placed an order to have
The sofa made
When the production of the sofa was
Complete and delivered ,I could not have been. More pleased.
They had exceeded my expectations.
The English sofa company have done an excellent job, I am very pleased with my sofa.
I would strongly recommend them
5 star satisfaction
Thank you

Jon from Ironbridge: Amazing leather sofas

The whole process from start to finish has been great. Very helpful team and after many leather samples ordered the 2 sofas on line. The brochure pictures are very accurate and product quality superb. Great to be built in the UK. Don't hesitate to use this company you won't be disappointed.

Our family sofa is insanely comfortable

It's always daunting buying something as expensive as a family sofa online but I have to say my experience with The English Sofa Company has been fantastic from start to finish. All communication was great and the sofa...wow...such a beautiful bit of furniture and the comfort is off the chart.

Happy customer.

Happy enough with the sofa we ordered for our snug. Initial communication could have been better (we didn’t get any acknowledgement or confirmation email from the company- just a payment receipt that they had taken the money so had to chase that up) but sofa arrived in time frame quoted and is nice enough for a £2200 product. Having a product that is made I the UK was important to us and this was so all good there too. Delivery was great- arrived promptly, polite and respectful delivery crew and the sofa was very well packaged.

Very efficient, friendly service. Luke and Richard were chatty and professional during the delivery of the furniture, and even took away all packaging which was greatly appreciated.

Leather sofa swatches

I ordered leather samples online which arrived promptly with a brochure containing all the information I might need about the sofas.
When the colours were not exactly right first time, the company were happy to send further samples for me. When I phoned for further information the call was answered promptly and the person was very helpful.
The samples themselves were a decent size and made it easier to use for matching purposes than some provided by other companies.

Thank you, Jennifer. It’s lovely to hear the sample service was helpful and that the team were quick to respond and provide the extra swatches you needed. We’re glad the larger samples made choosing colours a little easier. We appreciate the feedback.
