Thank you Mary!

I had to change the size of the mattress I ordered in their Walkinstown shop and Mary was so great with arranging the order change, super helpful and efficient! I have now used the mattress and pillow I bought for a month and it is so comfortable. Great service and great products

We purchased Floors and suite from DK LM Rd. Both Mary and Michael were spot on.
We arranged date for floors to be fitted and suite to arrive 2 days later.In advance of the fitting we removed old floors and disposed of the old suite to make room.We received 4 emails in advance of the fitting with a timeline as to what to expect and the fitter would call to confirm time etc.. We received no phone call and called the branch mid
Morning to find there is no fitter he is out sick for two weeks and they cannot advise of a rescheduled date. We should have received a call when they knew the fitting could not go ahead we now have no furniture that we could have delayed disposing. The manager was unable to reschedule until after the week end so we are now in limbo and no idea how long we have to wait. The most worrying aspect is had we had of received a call to advise and they were trying to sort would have been understood but for them not to be notified to advise customers in advance is worrying from a customer service point of view. and there doesn’t seem to be an alternative arrangement in place for instances like these to rectify the issue for customers…
Very unsatisfied customer here!!… if the situation improves will update my review

Hi Stephen,

We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the standard we aim to provide at Des Kelly Interiors.

To clarify, reminder emails were issued ahead of your scheduled delivery and fitting, including notifications three days prior and again 24 hours before the appointment. As both a delivery and flooring installation were arranged, multiple notifications would have been received.

Unfortunately, on the morning of your installation, the fitter assigned to your job experienced an unexpected family emergency and was unable to attend. As this situation arose suddenly, we were not made aware immediately and therefore did not have the opportunity to contact you before your scheduled call time. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, and for that, we sincerely apologise.

As soon as our store and customer service team were informed, the matter was escalated immediately and another fitter was arranged. By approximately 11:30am, contact had been made with you and the installation proceeded later that same day as promised.

At Des Kelly Interiors, customer service and customer satisfaction are extremely important to us. Our customers are the reason we have proudly remained in business since 1970, and we always strive to resolve any unforeseen issues as quickly and professionally as possible. While circumstances outside of our control can occasionally arise, we always do our very best to look after our customers and deliver on our commitments.

We genuinely regret the inconvenience caused on the morning of your fitting and appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve the situation.

An easy and enjoyable experience

Was anxious having to chose carpet on the day but Nick in Coolock branch made our experience very easy and was so helpful.
Guided me through designs, what was suitable and what was practical.
Didn’t rush us and took his time with us.
Made it all very easy and would recommend for anyone looking for help and advice when purchasing and choosing new carpets,
Thank you Nick.

* AVOID AVOID AVOID *

Truly terrible stairs carpet installation and equally dismal aftercare service.

I have been waiting close to 3 weeks for any type of resolution after lodging a formal complaint with little to no reply from customer service team.

Stairs carpet not installed correctly; 4-5cm gaps at the sides and cut/laid crookedly. Will pose a major tripping hazard and looks awful.

Don't waste your money! Would give zero stars if I could.

Hi Sophie

We’re sorry to hear that you’ve been unhappy with your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

After receiving your complaint on 18/04, our customer care team responded on 20/04, as our offices are closed over the weekend. At that point, we offered to arrange an inspection of the staircase installation so we could properly assess the issues raised.

The inspection was initially declined, as you advised us that you had been informed the carpet selected was not suitable for stairs. We would like to clarify that this information is incorrect, and the product you chose in store is suitable for staircase.

Throughout this period, there were multiple points of contact from both our store team and customer care department in an effort to assist and move the matter forward. We are pleased that an inspection has now been scheduled, as this will allow us to fully investigate your concerns and work towards an appropriate resolution.

We understand how frustrating this situation has been for you and appreciate your patience while we follow the proper process to assess the installation.

Hi Luiz

We’re very sorry to see your review and understand how frustrating this situation must be for you.

From our records, Sue in our customer service team has been in contact with you since the issue was first logged and has been assisting throughout. As your complaint relates to the flooring itself rather than an installation issue, we are required to work directly with the manufacturer to progress this for you. Unfortunately, this process has taken longer than expected, and we sincerely apologize for the delay.

Please be assured that we are continuing to do everything we can to move this forward and get a resolution in place as quickly as possible, including arranging for a full inspection of your flooring.
Thank you for your patience, and we will remain in contact with you as we work to resolve this.

Bed and Carpet purchases

We dealt with Aideen for the beds and Ross for the carpets . Aideen has a good personality and one that is conducent to dealing with people , very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Ross was also very helpful and easy to deal with . You could see that both had a lot experience in their areas. We would strongly recommend Des Kelly and notably the staff we dealt with .

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with Des Kelly Interiors.

I ordered carpet for three rooms and stairs. At the time of booking, I was told to choose any carpet I liked from the Long Mile Road branch. I paid the full amount in advance and was given an installation date two weeks later.

However, I was never informed that the carpet was not in stock. It became clear that the salesperson was more focused on securing the sale rather than providing accurate information. After placing the order, there was a complete lack of communication.

The installation date was changed three times, and eventually I was asked to select a different carpet because the one I originally chose was not available. This caused significant inconvenience, as we had planned our move based on the agreed installation date.

Overall, the process was delayed by nearly two months. It appears they do not keep stock and only order from suppliers after receiving payment, which should have been clearly communicated from the start.

During this time, I visited the branch, but the manager showed no sense of urgency or apology. It felt like this is a regular occurrence and customers are not treated properly after payment is taken.

I would not recommend them for carpet services due to poor communication, lack of transparency, and significant delays.

Hi Bilal

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused — this is not the standard we aim to provide.

Your order was placed on 25.10.25, and we advised you on 28.10 of a supplier delay, with a further delay unfortunately occurring outside of our control. We fully understand how this would have disrupted your plans, and we sincerely apologise.

We appreciate you working with our team to reselect an alternative carpet, and we’re glad we were able to complete installation on 19.11.

While supplier delays are rare, we know how important clear communication is, and your feedback will help us improve. We’d genuinely welcome the opportunity to look after you again in the future and provide the experience you should have had from the start.

Thank you again for your feedback.
