Recent bed purchase very good.
However delivery date was changed several times causing inconvenience .
Thus 4 stars
Nice, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Happy to answer all questions and give advice.
Excellent service.
Happy to recommend buying from them.
Shaun, your staff member, was helpful, knowledgeable and was not pushy. He gave us time to consider our choices
Very helpul salesman- Ashley - no pressure and very informative.
This was for Craigleith, not STraiton. No option to choose Craigleith.
Would have liked to know the prices at an earlier stage
Hayleigh was extremely helpful and friendly and enabled the decision on our purchase to be made easy.
We had a great experience, it was relaxed and we weren’t pressured to make any decisions. However the staff were extremely approachable and helpful when assisting us and we felt we were able to choose the right bed and mattress for us with their help
Gary and his colleagues at the Straiton branch were very helpful and friendly, highly recommend Bensons. Thank you boys, great customer service.
Very good service provided when purchasing a new bed for our daughter. Simple and clear information provided.
Very helpful at serving my 86 year old mother. He was happy to answer any questions she had. Helped her get a bed that suited her.
Exceptional customer service. Stephen fully explained every detail and difference of each mattress but never pushed too hard for the sale. It felt like a full bespoke service rather than just another sale on the books
Visited Craigleith Retail Store, Edinburgh and was initially served by Ashley. After seeing the mattress I wished to purchase but not until I had given it some thought I left the store with my son. While leaving the store and being at the door Ashley shouted across the store from the desk and made me aware that same mattress would be eligible for a 10% discount so long as I ordered it in store before Tuesday. This was Wednesday and I returned the following day, Thursday, and bought the mattress in full having been served by Tom. Tom shook my hand before and after the sale managing not to be able to read my body language which I felt was creepy. He again and again pointed out what costs I would be liable for if I changed my mind about the purchase or if I changed my mind and wanted Bensons to take my old mattress away and also told me out dated information on how much the council charges for uplifting bulking items. He does not seem the type that likes to be contradicted. The 10% discount was not awarded which I did not notice until I got home and phoning the store the next day Tom said the offer was finished even thought the sign was still displayed but to speak with Ashley who is the manager as the discount is at the managers discretion. I complained about the how uncomfortable and creepy it was having to shake his hand but he most certainly did not take this on board in a misogynist, sexist manner. I phoned Ashley the following day who denied he made the offer of the 10% discount and actually told me I wasn't to feel bad about it in a gas lighting manner and he most certainly did not take on board about the creepy hand shakes given by his colleague. I gave up when he started to repeat himself and again told me not the feel bad. Perhaps more female sales assistants required to even things out.
Excellent help and service. Bought a great quality mattress at a great price.
We bought two great beds from them. The service was very helpful, friendly and competent. The price of the beds was excellent too. All in all a very good experience!
Salesman, Steven, explained properties of each mattress fully, then left us to try out each one several times before we made a decision. He also explained details of what would happen after purchase if the mattress didn’t suit us and was very friendly without being pushy.
