DFS Furniture - Cardiff Reviews 

I met with Jamie at the Cardiff store today with a view to buying a recliner chair. Unfortunately the one I saw online wasn’t available to see in store, but Jamie was very helpful and showed me the nearest alternative and explained the range of options available, and I gladly made a purchase on her recommendation. I was in no time pressured and had plenty of time to consider other options.

The experience was great because everything was smooth, the people were friendly and attentive, and the small thoughtful details made it feel really personal.

A really pleasant experience. No sales pressure. Just calm, honest and helpful conversation. We already had an idea what we wanted and Sameera respected this, talking us around the various options and some similar alternatives until we settled on a final decision. No upsell. It would have been great if all the sofas were present in store to test (we were in the smaller Leckwith location), but we were more than happy with the final result.

Zeena & Vanna were so helpful, are the most welcoming and friendly service!!

Jamie was very polite,knowledgable and friendly

5+ month wait! No communication either.
I ordered a corner sofa and large storage footstool from DFS on 16 November 2025 (paid in full). Their website clearly states that made-to-order upholstery like this should take 4–12 weeks.
It is now mid-April 2026 — that’s over 22 weeks and the sofa still hasn’t arrived. The latest tracking says it might reach the local distribution centre around 22 April.
I followed their instructions and called to book the delivery slot for 4 April. After I booked it, they changed the date to 22 April with no explanation.

A temporary sofa was never mentioned as an option during the entire long wait. Only after I specifically asked did they finally deliver one last week. One of the black leather pillows shows extensive damage — deep cracks, peeling, and chunks missing in a pattern that looks as though a dog has been chewing on it for some time. After waiting more than five months, this is not an acceptable “courtesy” replacement.
They did refund the delivery charge, which I appreciate, but it doesn’t make up for the rest.
What has made this whole experience even worse is the customer service. The call centre didn’t help at all. The store didn’t help either. When it finally went to the escalation team, they were condescending and told me I’d “had the right to cancel this whole time” — even though various other people at DFS had previously told me it couldn’t be cancelled. The constant contradictions and lack of help have been incredibly frustrating.

I’m extremely disappointed and stressed by the whole process. Months without proper furniture, broken promises, a damaged temp sofa that was only provided after I had to ask, and zero real support from DFS.

Excellent service and staff

Staff were extremely helpful and courteous. Have to wait due to "referral" with finance company.

Mike was very helpful throughout and very patient with us! An absolute credit to your team!

Friendly staff and lots of furniture to view except the ones we looked at online. Ended up buying a new sofa that had been ordered but cancelled and the delivery was then only two weeks . Was not expecting the £100+ delivery cost

Customer service was spot on, the sofa I wanted was not in store but the sales assistant helped me understand what it would feel like to sit on through another sofa in store and showed me colours & fabric on another sofa… this helped me to decide & make ky purchase.

Myself, partner and children visited the store today.
Zeena took us around the store and helped us decide on our new sofas. She asked all the right questions, was polite and so helpful with the whole process.

Zeena was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for lovely experience.

I popped in on Saturday to check out if the store had something my wife would like. Vanna was really friendly and helpful. Today we met Sameera. Like Vanna Sameera was a pleasure to chat to. My wife and I have purchased 2 new super comfortable electric recliners. They come with a range of options and we’ve gone for adjustable headrests and full leather. Thanks to the exemplary customer service from Sameera and Vanna we had a great time. All options were fully explained and there was no pressure to buy. There is also a range of finance options to suit every budget. Thank you ladies for your help in choosing some furniture that we hope to enjoy for many years to come 😀

Allison was very knowledgeable about the sofa we were interested in and answered all of our questions about the different configuratios. She made the process seamless. Thanks.

Allison was absolutely lovely, helped us chose the right sofa and made sure everything was perfect for us. Amazing customer service and was very knowledgeable and helpful
