The delivery people arrived early

The delivery people arrived early, they phoned to let me know,they , were very helpful, taking my old chair out the front and loading it in my car so I could take it down the rubbish dump.
Then brought the new chair in and then went through the controls. They were very pleasant. They were not in a rush.

An excellent and professional service

We visited the showroom in Orpington and were pleased to be met by Ros who expertly guided us through the various options available to us. She was absolutely brilliant both in her approach and knowledge of the products. At no time did she pressure us into buying, rather she showed us various options and, having served us with coffee and biscuits, left us to discuss our thoughts. Thanks to her we found exactly what we needed and ordered straight away. An excellent service and would thoroughly recommend a visit to the store.

Very good customer service

My mum is in her 80s and came in to find some more comfortable chairs for their living room. She was helped by Ros and was very happy with Ros's help and customer service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service

I visited your Orpington branch looking to purchase 2 chairs. I received excellent service from Ros, who once I had chosen which chairs I wanted took her time to explain all the different features I could have on them, she showed me the fabrics that were available. I was able to take my time without being rushed into making a decision, over a nice cup of coffee and a biscuit.
All in all a very pleasant experience.
Excellent service.
I will definitely recommend your Orpington store to friends and family.

placed order

I have just placed an order at the Orpington store having visited 4 times before I had worked out what I wanted. All the Orpington staff are extremely helpful and I would mention in particular Christine who has helped me throughout in a professional and helpful manner.
One minor gripe . Having placed my order I was then charged another £60 for delivery which would be attached to all orders. So why not include it in the price .

"Ros" was a pleasure to deal with

"Ros" was a pleasure to deal with. She was very knowledgeable. informative and helpful in making a decision in choosing a suitable riser/ recliner.
Would have given 5 stars, but thought HSL price was quite high ( obviously beyond Ros' control).

We visited the Orpington store

We visited the Orpington store on 19th June. We were met by Jon who proceed to show us the chairs that we asked for. There was a lot of choice. He was polite, knowledgeable and gave us time to think about our choices. Not at all pushy. Overall it was one of the better sales experience we have encountered.
Well done Jon

This is the second purchase from Orpington store and yet again the service was brilliant! Ros was just great again, like an old friend and so very patient. She explained everything, no rush, and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Ros!

I bought a sofa bed so must also mention Jon who showed us how to pull the bed out and he also supplied a couple of pillows so my daughter and I could try it out, fantastic. Thank you.

Very hard chair with no comfort

Ordered a chair from HSL and went into the Orpington branch and tried many. I found the super petite as recommended comfortable. Had the chair delivered in February and it was like sitting on a park bench, so much so it triggered sciatica symptoms. I did take this up with the credit card company but they failed on this occasion. Just need to advise people that what you try in the showroom is not what you get delivered. Please be careful.

*Update*
Good afternoon Mrs Croker,
Thank you for providing me with your order details.
I have taken some time to investigate your complaint.
It is disappointing, that on this occasion HSL were not able to provide you with the comfort that we pride ourselves on.
I do feel however, that without the opportunity for the chair to settle in for even a few weeks, HSL have acted in a very reasonable way in offering a return with the standard cancellation fee.
Kind Regards.

Customer Care Team Leader

Good evening Val.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your chair wasn't as comfortable as expected. I would like to look into this further. If you could email me your details and order number, that would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Excellent Service at HSL

We visited the HSL showroom and enjoyed excellent customer service from Jon who was thoroughly helpful from receiving us to completing our purchase of two Stressles chairs. A calm, pleasant showroom and some excellent furniture collections with very detailed explanations from Jon. An overall very good shopping experience.

Great Team

Can I just say how nice the team in the HSL Orpington are Christine looked after my parents while Jon looked after my aunt, and the other lady( i have forgotten her name) supported them both.
If you are looking for some assisted seating furniture and beds you won't find anywhere better.

They also have a new very stylish range that caught my eye.
