It was my first time ordering from…
It was my first time ordering from Smiths of Harrogate, I found the website on the internet and called the store to confirm some details. Paul was really helpful and managed to take my order over the phone. Such a friendly and professional service and lovely to hear that the company is a long standing family business. I’m looking forward to receiving the Ercol sideboard that I have ordered and will definitely be making a trip over to Harrogate in the future to visit the store. Many thanks
Very helpful
Very helpful, explained all the pros and cons. Made sure what we chose was suitable for us.
Never felt pressured into making a decision. Chris very patient and helpful.
Really helpful and expert guidance
We were looked after very well by Grahame. He was very knowledgeable and gave us
helpful, expert information about the mattresses but absolutely no hard sell. His explanations of the technical differences were clear so we feel we fully understand which product to chose. We were able to take our time and try a range of options and with Grahame’s guidance we feel confident we have made the right choice.
Extremely good service
Extremely good service. Ordered a spring for a chair. Was called before the spring was despatched to make sure it was the correct one. Not very often you get such good service.
Excellent service
Excellent service - personable family business. Great range of quality products.
Really nice people to deal with
Really nice people to deal with, nothing was too much trouble, and their product knowledge was also very good. We will definitely buy from them again.

I was greeted by staff members on entering the showroom and made to feel welcome. The staff were very knowledgeable, but there was no pressured selling. I placed an order and was given timescales for delivery. I have bought furniture from Smiths The Rink for over forty years and would not consider any other retailer as the service can not be beaten.

Exceptional advice and service
I have been looking for a reading chair for ages; very friendly and knowledgeable staff helped me to find exactly what I was looking for. Nothing was too much trouble, they let me try out all the functions and did not pressure me as I took my time deciding. Best of all, they offered to deliver it the same day! Exceptional customer service - would highly recommend.

From start to finish and always most importantly the finish , the delivery of your chosen goods always runs smoothly with this well established family company .
Mark and Dan went over and above to complete the journey delivering our order with Smiths the Rink with excellence and efficiency.
Thank you once again .
Faultless service.
I was greeted by Frank Nickerson. He was very helpfull as we new what we were looking for. We were offered coffee and made to feel very welcome. We were invited to experiance the mattress we intended to buy, which was perfect for our needs.
Patronising aftersales.
Bought a £7000 mattress here, turned out it's not quite right. Out of 3 month exchange window (due not being in country). Sticking to T&Cs is understandable, if not somewhat unsympathetic; what will prevent me from buying here again is the patronising attitude and emails.

A very extensive range of furniture on display. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. A handy locatiion.
The benefits of buying local quality products and service
Eighteen months ago we bought an Alisia sofa bed from Smiths. From delivery we have been delighted with both the product and the service we received. Free two man expert delivery is an apt description and is invaluable when you live in one of the many three storey houses in Harrogate!
Recently the sofa bed was moved and a fixing was inadvertently damaged. It took just one call to Smiths and within a few days two expert delivery men, familiar with the construction of the sofa bed, were on site with their tools and fixed it.
Now that’s what we call service. Thank you Team Smith!
Ercol furniture
Paul Irvin was very helpful in clarifying and helping me place my order for Ercol sofas. I was pleased to hear from Paul that Smiths of Harrogate stock the whole range of Ercol furniture which is very difficult to see in my area. I hope to visit the store in the near future. Birthday wishes to Paul for his 60th later this year
Helpful and pleasant staff
Helpful and pleasant staff. Plenty of time to answer all queries.
A Great Experience
We have rarely had such a good, informative service when buying furniture. Christopher is a veritable expert and knows the products he is selling inside out. Although we had researched Himolla chairs, he informed us of options, of which we were unaware. As result, we have come away knowing that we have made the right choices. We're looking forward to seeing the chairs in our home.
