Excellent service in Bedding Dept.

I was looking to purchase a new mattress for my bed. Peter was very helpful, knowledgeable and gave me time and space to try the beds and was there to answer my questions about the types of mattresses.
The service he provided was excellent. Glasswells is my go to store for all home purchases. Always friendly helpful staff, quality products and service.

Ben was attentive patient and nothing was too much for him - he moved chairs across the floor to various tables so I could see what combination worked and he also costed out multiple options for me to choose from

Excellent and friendly customer service

We recently bought 2 chairs from Glasswells, Ipswich. We visited the shop 3 times , initially to search for suitable chairs, then to borrow fabric swatches , and finally to order the chairs. The salesmen, Adrian and Dan were both very professional and extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough when answering all our questions. We never felt any pressure to buy. Special thanks to Adrian.

We visited Glasswells with the intention of browsing garden furniture. We left having purchased a lovely set of garden furniture. Our salesman was Nigel, he was so helpful and informative. We viewed the furniture on a Thursday, it was delivered the following Tuesday. A special mention for the delivery team, who were helpful and went above and beyond. The set of furniture is 'Bramblecrest' and it is superb. We purchased a rise and fall table with an ice bucket in the middle, 2 armchairs, a 3 seater sette, a parasol and a base. The back of the seats recline for a bit of luxury. The cushions are thick and comfortable. We couldn't be happier with our choice.

We have never been to your store before but we’re very impressed not only with all the staff but how clean every where was and the quality of the merchandise on offer especially the kitchen wares and bedding . We came for the garden ratten furniture but all the the products were of top quality even if they did not catch our eye.

Top quality furniture, excellent customer service!

Very welcoming staff, excellent service. I love to shop at Glasswells and have bought several furniture items from them. They are built of top quality materials. The staff are very knowledgeable and very welcoming, without being hard sale employees and let you take the time to make up your own mind. Highly recommend.

A really excellent service and selection

A really excellent service helping us choose a new bed. There was a wide range to try in the store, and Sallyann (the lady who assisted us) was super-friendly, very knowledgeable and efficient. We were able to order our new bed with ease.

Rude Deputy Manager for After Sales

Staff in store know their products and helpful whilst looking for a product.
After sales very poor. If you ever enquire or have a concern then the response won’t be the one you are expecting.
The deputy manager (woman) rude and condescending. She won’t allow you to speak or explain. To the extent of her being very negative about their own staff they use.
So good luck with anyone contacting Glasswells for after sales concerns.
Very disappointing and makes us very wary of using the store in future.

Carpets

Very easy experience
Jon helped us choose, and came to measure up
Terry and Jane masterminded the calendar and rearranged twice, 1 once was me, the other was them.
Carpets fitted by a lovely chap new to Glasswells but came recommended.
Calm, conscientious and very business like. Took no time at all to lay two landings, the stairs and a bedroom.
And hoovered up after himself
Such an easy experience they are coming back to do the dining room.

Went in to look for a new mattress without really knowing too much about it. Peter was extremely helpful, providing advice, opinions and guided us perfectly through the process, enabling us to buy the mattress most suitable for our needs. Perfect customer service.

The staff in the curtains department were excellent. They patiently helped me choose a suitable fabric; when that was out of stock, they searched high and low to source it for me; they kept me informed throughout.
Best of all the person who made my bespoke lampshades did a superb job and I am delighted with them. Certainly I could not find anything similar either in any store or online.

We were only browsing for a new mattress with no initial intention of buying today, however after asking for advice and assistance from Peter, we decided to purchase straight away. Peter was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable and able to offer advice suited to our needs without being pushy; all very much appreciated. This is our third large purchase from Glasswells and we have been very pleased with both the selection of products and excellent customer service. Thank you
