Excellent service
Excellent knowledge, customer service and assistance with purchase of a mattress.
First class as always.
Excellent company
I have always found Gillies to be a good company to purchase items from.
I have purchased several carpets from them and found them to be excellent quality
I am delighted with my recent purchase of two stressless chairs, delivery was first class and on time
Great personal service as always
Great personal service as always. It’s refreshing to receive this in our times of internet shopping!
Great item and lovely service
Great item and lovely service. We’ve had loads from gillies and always brilliant. They offer unusual range of lovely things, kind staff and impeccable customer service. Really grateful
Long delay in receiving furniture.
We love the product purchased and the delivery men went above and beyond.
Luke the salesman could not have been more helpful.
However - we ordered the furniture mid February and were told there would be a 12 week delivery wait which we accepted.
Sadly that turned into 20 weeks which is not acceptable. We were offered the loan of a table and chairs but declined as we still had our old furniture.

Telephone advice very helpful prior to visiting the shop in Broughty Ferry. Lynda, our sales assistant, was friendly and gave us an excellent service. In fact the whole experience, including Andy and Alan who delivered and assembled our beds, could not have been better.
Thanks to all the staff at Gillies.

Arrived promptly. Handled brilliantly. Brought in 2 settees, a poufé and a coffee table. Placed them and disposed of all the packaging by taking it with them. Both guys were helpful, polite and really nice. Knew their job well. Really pleased with them and the furniture. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We purchased a set of leather sofas and chair. Ethan was very helpful and even came out to the house to measure up so we were sure it would fit through our narrow door.
Yesterday Darragh and Bruce came out to deliver and set up. Adam the porter was also helpful and delightful whilst we were in the store.
What a credit to Gillies.
Staff like this are worth their weight in gold.
Well done lads!

Clark in Perth went over and above to help us source a fabric swatch.
When we bought our sofa we were shocked to discover that the company who make the furniture don't supply swatches. We really needed one to help us select a carpet so Clark removed the colour sample from the book in the showroom, drove down to Livingston and allowed us to borrow it for a week or two. He even supplied a prepaid envelope to allow me to return it in good faith. This was over and above.
When the sofa arrived the guys were so friendly and careful not to damage the walls on the way in to the living room.
Despite the swatch situation I would definitely recommend the service and after sales care. Thank you.
