Smooth Sofa Purchase
We were greeted as we entered the store by Kelly. As it was our second visit she showed us to the sofa we were interested in purchasing.
Kelly was very helpful and patient, allowing us time to finalise our choices. The purchase process was streamlined.

We were greeted by Dawn who was extremely friendly and helpful. Dawn asked us what we were looking for a proceeded to show us what was available giving us options as we were shown around. We were also offered a hot drink which was very nice. Dawn explained the whole process from start to finish. We did not feel pressured in any way and the whole experience was very easy.
