First class service and good price
Second time that I have purchased furniture at Smiths. Chris was very helpful in explaining the difference between the various sofa's and we felt no time pressure, despite taking some time to decide on the final model. First class service and competitive price.
Ordered a recliner
Ordered a recliner, good product knowledge and patience from the salesman (Jamie) and a good discount agreed.
Exceptional salesmanship
Better price than I found anywhere else but what made the real difference was the outstandingly good customer service by 'phone. It was in a different league to that offered in other stores.

Great Customer Service
From first initiation by telephone with Smiths we felt we were dealing with a company who were knowledgeable about the furniture we were interested in. On visiting showroom the salesperson Christopher, spent a lot of time (and patience) informing us of details of furniture we were interested in which we found most helpful.

We were looking for a new matress
We were looking for a new matress. Smith's of Harrogate had an amazing choice that could have been overwhelming. However, the colleague who served us was very helpful and had good product knowledge. He was able to guide us through all of the options, that enabled us to make an informed choice. At no time did we feel pressurised and when we made our purchase, we felt that we had an excellent mattress at a fair price.
Search for extra firm mattress
We needed a mattress, I called the shop and spoke to Frank who gave me all the information I asked for and based on that went into the shop and bought a Harrison Spinks very firm mattress
Purchase of an Ercol table
I wanted to purchase a specific Ercol table.
From my first telephone enquiry to delivery of the table everyone at Smiths was knowledgeable, polite, professional and friendly.
I live quite a distance from Harrogate so could not visit the shop personally and had some apprehension about buying an expensive product over the 'phone. I need not have worried.
