DFS highly recommended 5 Stars
Went to find a new sofa as we have recently moved to a new home
We had shopped around and finally entered the Colne View Retail Park where we met Kevin an experienced salesman who helped us choose our perfect Sofa
We were impressed with his knowledge and found him very friendly and helpful
This convinced us to place the order today and would highly recommend a visit to this store
The staff are very helpful and friendly and go the extra mile to meet your needs
Thank you to Kevin for all his help and to Emma for reconfirming our order

Super friendly sales guy called Singh at the Colchester branch . Introduced himself then said he’d give us space to look and find him if we had any questions .
We did then had his undivided attention , couldn’t be more honest or patient .
Our daughter is buying a house and will be needing a sofa , we will be pointing her in Singhs direction as in all our years of furnishing , he was perfect .

Outstanding
Absolutely outstanding service from our DFS advisor. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout, giving great advice on colours and helping us find the perfect sofa. Nothing was too much trouble, and he even stayed a little later to make sure everything was sorted. The drinks and hospitality were a lovely touch too. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and can’t thank him enough. A real credit to DFS!

Wow! What a store!
Was wowed by the layout of the store, all the staff were welcoming, helpful and efficient. Coffee wasn’t bad either ;) Me and my boyfriend were really well looked after, and really enjoyed our time there, with plenty of sofas to choose from. Ended up buying a new sofa on our first visit, and can’t wait for it to be delivered!
