Mum's New chair

Ali and Wendy were fantastic at the HSL
store in Portrack. Gave demonstration on a few chairs. Knowledgeable and very friendly.Made my mum feel at ease while trying out the chairs.
A very relaxed experience and a comfortable chair with delivery on Thursday within the same week which is brilliant and also a good price.
Will recommend HSL to family and friends.

Quality product, knowledgeable, friendly staff …

Took elderly parents to Stockton shop to look for chairs today. Ali & Steph (who was training) were both amazing, understood needs of both Mam & Dad quickly, made them feel at ease, taking lots of time to explain the options of chairs on offer and what each could do, allowing them to time to try each so they could make the right choice. They worked out best deal and explained cost, delivery times etc…great service by two lovely, knowledgeable ladies would definitely recommend HSL Stockton to all.

HSL Stockton are Great!

I was looking for a riser Recliner chair for my Partner and after seeing an advert on TV, I decided to give HSL at Stockton a go. On atrival, I was greeted promptly by Wendy and made to feel very welcome. She introduced me to her colleague Jackie and advised us to have a look at their range. I felt quite overwhelmed by the choice and I was unsure of what I even wanted. Both Wendy and Jackie were brilliant, showing me what was available, what offers were on certain chairs and explaining different motor specs and how they matched my needs. Within half an hour, they'd convinced me what to buy and explained the whole process from purchase to delivery. Afterwards, I felt very confident in my purchase and reassured that I'd bought what I needed. The complimentary biscuits and tea were a lovely touch. Wendy and Jackie are an absolute credit to HSL Stockton, both are knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. I felt in very safe hands with both of them - excellent customer service.

Excellent service, great staff

John and Luke (Stockton branch) were excellent today. They explained everything in great detail, answered all my questions and helped me choose the right furniture for me. They were extremely professional, caring and nothing was too much trouble for them. All in all a very positive, pleasurable experience. Being able to test and choose furniture in my own home was fantastic!

The staff at Stockton,Allison and co were very welcoming,not at all like most furniture saleroom staff. They are not pushy and in fact they make a good cup of tea! I have made three visits, one with my wife who has dementia,and she was treated very well. I originally intended to get two fireside type chairs but after considering everything i have ordered two riser recliners.These have cost a pretty sum but I think they will be worth it.
