Excellent Chelmsford experience

We were welcomed on arrival and had excellent service from the lovely staff. One lady even gave my husband the title of a song on their playlist. Above and beyond service, thank you

Initial sales OK disaster from that point forward

Initial support form Shop (in Chelmsford) was amazing and staff were helpful. the problems came with our delivery. The boxes were absolutely covered in black filth which brushed walls on moving in and depackaging. this left black unremovable marks on our light walls. the next issue was the damage on the grand dresser and expanding table.
We contacted the company immediately about this damage and they offered compensation for the trouble and diminshed quality and experience, in addition that there 3rd party repair company "Emmiera" (group) would fix the damaged hinges (very bent) scuffed wood and broken shelf stops etc.
We waited some time and recieved two hinges in the post followed eventually by a call from Emmiera to arrange a repair appointment. They arrived and managed to patch the table (but as we pointed out) they needed more parts to fix the dresser so they did some remedial work on the damaged wood but a second appointment would be needed. So we arranged further and with further delays this went back to CWC who again refered to emmiera sent more hinges out to us. finally a fellow from Emmiera who was quite young turned up and attempted to repair the remaining work. The work was very awkward and i had to help hold doors at times to allow him to remove them, we also found that the drill driver he had had rounded off the heads of most of the black screws leaving quite an unprofessional finish.. At the end of the job i spoke to him and said that the work was not complete and further attention was needed, he showed me this on the pad and i signed to say the doors and wood had been sorted.
After this point it went quiet Cotswolds Co did nothing to contact and follow up, i emailed them 5 times trying to chase on which the last email said i signed a full report to say everything had been fully repaired (this is now several months post event) I explained that this hadnt been resolved and the wall despite cleaning was still in need of repainting. From that point we have had no responses despite emailing back on the helpdesk message.

My advice, go elsewhere

Added post the cotswold company response...

You did email us again (thank you) and as we pointed out you have all the pictures and two lots of reports from emmiera group. But despite this you think we should go round the loop again most likely to no resolve. It is clear you feel we are lying despite me stating what we were told by emmiera. You are not trying to help but are wasting time and energy in the hope we give up.

Good morning Gareth W,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m pleased to hear that your experience in our Chelmsford store was positive, I’m very sorry to learn of the issues that followed with your delivery, the condition of the packaging, and the challenges you faced throughout the restoration process. This is far from the level of service we aim to provide.

I completely appreciate how frustrating this has been, especially given the delays, repeated appointments, and the lack of follow-up you experienced. Please be assured that our logistics team will be in touch with you regarding the property damage caused during delivery. In addition, I will be personally in touch regarding the outstanding concerns with your unit so we can work towards a suitable resolution.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and for your patience while we put this right.

Best wishes,

Jessica Sculfor

My experience

Got treated really well in the shop, arranged for quick delivery, that never happened as the delivery men turned up and only tapped on the door and had to arrange a new delivery.
Eventually received the table, that got installed they took all the packaging which i was extremly happy about.
I then was admiring my new table and chairs and was very disapointed to find a scratch on the table, i contacted customer services via email and advised them of this they contacted me and offered a soultion.

Helpful and informative

We visited both Chelmsford and Stow on the Wold shops to view and checkout sofa’s. The staff at both were friendly and helpful without being pushy.
We ordered at Chelmsford which again was an easy process with everything explained and gone through thoroughly.
The only fault in the process was the online tracking that wouldn’t let me register despite contacting the team!

Robert the sales person was great

Robert the sales person was great, took his time, helped us with choices and questioned us to qualify our decisions.

Being able to go into a store, touch and feel the products and see the quality of the furniture first hand was great. We need to use stores like this to ensure there is the ability to see before you buy.

We would highly recommend using The Cotswold Company at Chelmsford.

We have been looking for two sofa’s and a dinning room table for a few weeks. We have visited several providers and two Cotswold Company stores. Having made our decision to buy a Hurley 3 seater and Hurley small 2 seater we were served by Robert who made the ordering process painless and straight forward. Delivery arranged and on course.

Kitchen Larder

We went to the Chelmsford store and we were helped by a very helpful assistant, but cannot remember his name! A very professional chap, who was extremely helpful. We put in our order for our kitchen larder. Love shopping at the Cotswolds Company.
