Great Customer Service

We ordered a lovely coffee table and there was a problem with one of the legs. Emma dealt with it brilliantly and they sent us a new table. Very smooth and efficient service - thank you.

Unable to successfully rectify their error

I ordered an single electric bed to match a bed already bought from this company. I was very clear it needed to match & they absolutely confirmed it would ( 2 single beds to make a super king bed) I Bought & paid in full in 3/11/22.
The bed arrived as promised on the day we moved house 7/12/22 but it didn’t match the other bed. Different colour, different shape, different size, different height. I advised on the day it arrived & was told to accept the bed & they assured me they would rectify. A week later, after much chasing, I have been offered a super king sized headboard that would join the 2 beds & reduce the impact of the differences. I would have accepted but they wanted £180 for delivery & fitting…. To rectify their mistake.
I have asked for the bed to he returned. They are now saying it will be new year before it’s collected. A month since it was delivered. I will also not receive a refund until returned.
I had guests coming for Xmas & I have now had to cancel as we have no bed for them as we can’t use this one.
I aren’t saying the quality of the bed is not good, we wouldn’t have ordered a second bed.
I am so disappointed & upset that they have not been able to resolve this issue by either providing a headboard totally free of charge with a sincere apology or collecting this bed before Xmas to give us space to make other arrangements.
By chance, I received a marketing email from them today offering to deliver a guest bed before Xmas. It’s seems they can deliver but not collect.
The lack of understanding & response has been shocking.

Hi There,

We are extremely sorry for everything that has happened with your order, this is the first time that we have had someone order a bed to match one they already owned from 2020 so we were unaware that there would be a difference in the specification. With regards to the colour of the material we did offer a fabric sample as we advised that we have since changed factories so that you can ensure the colour matched the one that you have, you advised it would be fine and you would like to go ahead with the order.

You contacted us 2 weeks ago on the 7th of December regarding this issue and we have been trying our best to get it resolved. We didn't want to supply the headboard without speaking with the factory and looking at the possible options, we didn't want to risk that it may not fit as the beds were slightly different. We investigated this option as per your request.

We have offered many options to rectify the situation including a very substantial discount as per your request so that you could order the 2nd bed to match the new one you have received. We will continue to discuss this with you and try to find a resolution.

Unfortunately, we are unable to get the bed collected before Christmas as our delivery company is fully booked up. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused.

With regards to the guest beds, they are not coming from the same factory as the adjustable bed. They are a stock item that is supplied by the manufacturer Jaybe.

Best regards
Emma

Great sofa - poor communication

We had lots of problems with communication whilst we were waiting for our order to be delivered. However, we do love the sofa now that it has finally arrived. We ordered the Exning sofa in a box. It was easy to assemble, and we are really happy with the quality.

Hi There,

We are extremely sorry for the challenges that you faced regarding your delivery. We agree that communication was not the best and we have spoken with the relevant departments to ensure that this doesn't happen again. I understand this does not help with your delivery but I wanted to assure you that we take all our customers feedback seriously.

I am glad that you are happy with the quality of your new sofa and that you found it easy to assemble.

Best regards
Emma

Great quality

Furniture arrived on time and is extremely comfy. My only issue was that paper instructions were not provided to build the sofa bed. I received an email with some photos and a video but would have preferred this in paper form with diagrams of how to put it together, I did ask but was advised these could not be provided!

Replying to Emma

Replying to Emma. Thank you for your response. There is no packaging on the mattress and I have been sleeping on the bed without being able to fold it back. In the video you demonstrate a man folding it back to sofa showing no effort! Try it Emma if you have one in stock. The foot of the bed is incredibly heavy with a lot of metal in the mechanism, impossible for one woman or two to lift. Pulling it out and down you have gravity on your side. Pushing it up and back you have to lift it up first as you demonstrate. Just try!

Hi there,

I have spoken with Jaybe regarding your issue, they have advised that a lot of their sales team have tried the sofabed and they were all able to transform the sofabed with ease. The owner of our business has also tried the sofabed and he mentioned that it is really easy to do, the action is very smooth.

I have sent you an email, please can you respond with a video showing the transformation into a sofa. We would like to look into this further for you. If you are unable to see the email please check your spam folder.

Best regards

Burwell sofas and sofa bed

We had two Burwell two-seater sofas delivered in December 2021 and a further Burwell two-seater sofa-bed delivered in July 2022. Our only criticism relates to the cushions. The two sofas had lightly filled cushions stuffed with a soft filling, whereas the sofa-bed cushions were tightly packed with what feels like foam-plastic. Both are quite comfortable but the soft-filled cushions could have done with more filling material. The biggest problem is that all of the cushions only have the Modena covering on one side. They are therefore not reversible, which is an adverse feature.

Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback. First of all please accept our sincerest apologies for the issues you have had with your folding bed. I can see that we have sent you replacement clips but not castors. We can organise for a new castor to be sent to you, please contact our team if you would like a replacement to be sent.

With regards to the bed being too soft, this is a challenging one as comfort is a relative thing, what you may think is too soft another person may not think the same.

Best regards
Emma

We are totally satisfied with our sofa bed. It is in our granny flat and has been used by us during a period of decorating. It is so easy to operate the mechanism and really comfortable. The build quality is superb.
We would have no hesitation in recommending it.

good products well made

Bought a brass and reeded glass lamp fitting. It’s lovely! Really nicely made and looks great. Took a while to deliver but that’s no great problem. All in all very happy.

High quality British made furniture from an excellent company.

The small sofabed that I ordered arrived on time. Unfortunately, due to the geometry of the room for which it was intended, the delivery guys couldn't put it into the space. They very helpfully talked me through dismantling it so it could be put together in the alcove. Unfortunately I had not allowed enough clearance and it did not fit. I found out that in spite of the sofa being made to order the company gives a 14 day guarantee of a full refund. They were very understanding and helpful and have collected the sofabed. I have ordered a slightly smaller sofa bed and look forward to it being installed at the end of the month.

Fabulous sofa I would recommend

Fab......I took a chance and ordered over the phone. Very helpful call handler. When other companies were quoting 10 to 20 weeks, the estimated delivery was 6 weeks. In the end the sofabed was delivered earlier after arranging with me. The sofa is lovely, even better than I thought and very comfortable.

Sofa, sogood!

Our sofa bed arrived about a week early and was carried into the bungalow and assembled by two very nice young men. They took all the packing away with them. We are deligheted with the product, seat cushions are quite firm but we expect they will settle down a little with use. Converting the sofa to a bed is very easy and was demonstrated by the belivery guys. The bed is also quite firm and we are considering purchasing a memory foam mattress topper for it.
Altogether a very nice well made piece of furniture that should last may years.

Burwell Right Hand Ottoman Storage Sofabed

Purchased the Burwell Right Hand Ottoman Storage Sofabed (in saffron velvet) in May and I am very pleased with it. The communication Kinjal Patel was good and everything went to plan. The delivery was made late evening by Empire Delivery and great care was taken to position and assemble a large piece of furniture into a tight space. The sofa is lovely quality and very well made. I could not be happier with it. The sofabed has been used occasionally and my guests have given it the thumbs up as a very comfortable bed! Thank you Made to Last! Great sofa! Great service!

Excellent Service

Excellent Service. I ordered this sofa in part due to the smallness of my house and the ability to actually move the sofa into the house, which it did very easily. I also liked the environmentally friendly fabric sample ordering process which allows to return samples. Very pleased with the sofa its well made, comfortable and I especially love the fabric colour and composition - thank you :)
