Brilliant
Brilliant, friendly and very knowledgeable service from Beverley. Delivery was excellent, very careful and helpful. The table and chairs I purchased look beautiful and receives lots of compliments. The store is perfectly laid out, with lots of beautiful items. I would definitely go back if I ever need anything but I would look for Beverly as I think she went above and beyond to make our experience great.

Good Local furniture supplier
Local furniture supplier with good showrooms and range of stock. Can be expensive but good quality. The most recent purchase had one of the four legs loose. I didn't immediately discover it - relying on their £99 'White glove' service. Once I made them aware they engaged a very good independent technician who sorted it out swiftly and they reimbursed the cost.

Personal service
We really valued the personal service that Woods gave us, keeping us up to date with progress on production and delivery of our Ercol snuggler/sofa when it was delayed and always promptly answering any queries. When we noticed the scatter cushion was missing they diligently searched the warehouse and ordered a replacement (FOC) when it wasn’t found. I’m so pleased we were able to go the shop, try out the sofa and speak to an actual person face to face - so much better than ordering on line!

Jake was very helpful while I was thinking about purchasing, and in planning my delivery once I had decided to go ahead. The delivery men were polite, helpful, kept me updated and had my lovely new Milan dining table assembled in no time. All in new condition and lovely quality. Very happy with my purchase 😀

Quality Product, great customer service.
Ordered a corner dining bench and table set.
Sadly the table arrived broken.
Was dealt with quickly by Anya, who arranged a replacement and collection.
I am delighted to say that the set once assembled all together, it is a lovely piece of quality furniture.
Thank you for all your help and I would 100% recommend.

Excellent service
Excellent communication, bought one sofa and had it delivered as per arrangement. Liked it so much we ordered a second one on which we were given a discount. Again delivered in time frame specified. Followed up by phone to check that all was ok.
Have used many times over the years, a very honest and reliable company.

Head of Sales Karen was Fantastic
Head of Sales Karen was extremely helpful when I was making choices over new furniture for the home. I never felt rushed and when I changed my mind a few times it was never an issue. Very pleased with the excellent quality and beautiful looking furniture.

Shame I can’t give this company zero stars. Bought an expensive outdoor sofa and fire pit and paid for them to set it up. They took my money then refused to set it up, didn’t supply instructions and then refused to engage. After weeks of haggling I received a paltry £50 refund. Sales Director at Dorchester has no concept of customer service.
Unfortunately Paul’s response below is incorrect - we were forced to assemble the fire pit ourselves as Woods point blank refused to do so and would not refund the assembly fee I had paid until I threatened to stand outside the Brewery Square shop and warn every potential customer about their lack of service. Don’t try to reinvent the truth Paul!

Hi Rob
I'm really sorry to see that you had some issues with your delivery and setup. I can see this happened back in 2023 and the notes on our system show that although you are correct and the item was not assembled at the time of delivery, this was due to your ongoing works which meant this could not be done at the time. The team at the time did follow up with you and you confirmed to them that you had decided to assemble the set yourself rather than call and allow us to provide this service. We did, at the time, reimburse you fully for both delivery and assembly costs.
If you would like to discuss this further please do reach out to us again.
Kind regards

Brilliant service and quality goods
Brilliant service and quality goods.
We originally ordered 6 dining chairs a few months ago and were really pleased with the quality of them.
We recently noticed a small split down one of the seams - I contacted them to report this and the costumer service since then has been second to none! Absolutely brilliant communication via Paul at Customer Services - I really think that others could learn from his polite, helpful and clear customer service. The issue was quickly resolved and the chair replaced.
We would definitely use again in the future! Thank you!

Received damaged goods
Received damaged goods, I was not made aware that any damage was to be reported with 3 days - item was stored in box until I had the opportunity to unpack it, approx. 10 days after delivery. So because of this Woods Furniture will not replace the item, extremely poor! I will be taking this further with Trading standards - feel like I have been conned.
