Excellent customer service & friendly staff
Knew exactly what we were looking for when we arrived at DFS & Rachel spotted that when we entered the shop. She gave us a couple of minutes then came over to offer her assistance. She was attentive & very patient while we discussed colour, cushions & extras. She double checked everything with us then a colleague came over to check everything again. Customer service was excellent. Purchase was completed efficiently & we left very happy. Thank you Rachel.

I ordered on 21/5/26, experience with Pamela /Gateshead branch has been tainted by the after sales experience we have had.
Have been trying to change our order since 23/5/26 but have been waiting on call backs.

When you sell a sofa to someone maybe you should tell that due to the design of the sofa it slopes to the back, i purchased a lorella 4 seater and the lounge part slopes and is not comfortable, this was not noticeable at the store

Julia was absolutely fabulous, talked me through the ordering process and additional add ons, very pleased I went with the removable arms on the Lorella as it will make moving it in the future so much easier! Went in for a couch and left with a gorgeous rug and my dream sofa. Thank you 🙏
