Superb Aftercare
After discovering an issue with a seven year old sofa from DFS, I visited the store in the hope they could offer some help to rectify the problem. I spoke to Mark and he couldn’t have been more helpful, despite me no longer having the receipt . Unbeknown to me, each sofa comes with a 15 year structural warranty and Mark quickly assessed my issue and arranged for a speedy repair.I can’t rate the service high enough and Mark was superb. Thank you

Amazing team at the metrocenter
We recently purchased a Ronan sofa from DFS at the merto center and the entire experience has been fantastic.
The team in the showroom was incredibly helpful without being pushy, giving us plenty of time to test out different styles and make our decision.
