Wrong chair sent
Wrong chair sent, it wasn't the swivel version, and it was in the wrong colour!
2 stars because the staff are very helpful, but not pushy and the correct chair has now been ordered, but of course that means another wait.

Hi Hazel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and I'm really sorry to hear that the wrong chair was delivered, especially with both the style and colour being incorrect. I completely understand how disappointing and inconvenient that must be.
We truly appreciate your patience and your kind words about our team. I’m glad to hear the correct chair has now been ordered and we’ll do everything we can to make the rest of the process as smooth as possible. Thank you again for your understanding and we hope your new chair will be well worth the wait.
Warmest Regards,
Paris

Great experience start to finish!
Great experience start to finish!! Someone explained how it worked and then left us alone to look ourselves - having been to other places where we were followed around and pressured to sell if we stay down, the Loaf team were a breath of fresh air. It was great they encouraged to go away, measure and come back, they went to extra mile to make sure we were truly happy with what we purchased. They explained it all in detail, we knew we had the cooling off period and how that worked, they also explained the insurance, which we also took out. I am really glad we went with them! Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Sofa-bed shopping made easy...
It was so useful to visit Loaf and try out some sofa beds for size, ease of use and comfiness. In fact, all the Loaf sofa beds turned out to be really comfortable both as sofas and as beds. I'm not all that strong so I had a go at pulling out the bed and putting it away again - easy! Then I chose a few swatches to take home and try out. At our visit a few days later we were again met by really friendly, knowledgeable staff who weren't at all pushy and gave us space and time to try everything out again. The one-off payment that covers most accidents and mishaps that might be suffered by a sofa-bed over 5 years, from wine spills to pet maulings, is a very reassuring offer at an extremely reasonable price. All in all, easy, relaxing sofabed shopping - particular thanks to the very helpful staff.

Great staff
Great staff, very friendly and helpful. allowed us to wander the store and were there when we needed help. Staff were very informative but not pushy.
Great range of sofas, love the way each sofa can be made in any fabric. Large fabric samples were very good at helping us decide. It's as also great to be able to bring smaller samples home while we made up our mind.

If Carlsberg did sofa shopping…
What I loved about The Shack is how relaxed the atmosphere is—you can really sit with the sofas & figure out if it’s the right fit. I ended up visiting a couple of times before making my decision, & every time the assistants were just as welcoming, gave space & support. It made a big purchase feel a lot easier

Had been looking for a sofa for months
Had been looking for a sofa for months. Finally went to the loaf shop in Edinburgh and staff were very lovely and informative. They had a wide range of options and an infinite amount of sample fabrics (which you can bring home). Ended up ordering one on their website when I got home and can’t wait to receive it !
