Deplorable customer service and misleading website pictures.
I ordered and paid for two 2 seater leather electric recliners. I waited 4 months for delivery. On the day of delivery I was assured that the sofa's would be delivered between 11.30am to 12.00pm. The delivery drivers arrived just after 3pm. They can only be described as incompetent. It took them an hour to attach the sofas and attach the feet. They missed out screws and stripped the heads on some of the screws on the feet. They had no idea what to do with the support legs that are supposed to go under the front of the sofa's. They told me to contact the Aintree store for clarification. The main problem, however was the patched leather strips on the arms (4 patches of leather, stitched on to the top) awful. This was not as shown on SCS website and in store, clearly cost cutting by the manufacturer. Also the leather was very crumpled when you used the recliner. I raised a complaint via the SCS website. I heard nothing for 4 days so I rang customer services to reject the sofas. I was told that they were waiting for a reply from the suppliers. I explained that this was irrelevant to me. The sofas I had received were not as shown on the website or in store. The advisor said she would need to speak to her manager and call me back. I received a callback and was advised the they would arrange to collect the sofas and submit a refund upon receipt. On the day of collection, no one turned up (surprise surprise). I called to complain, they could not give me an explanation, just an apology. They have now given me another collection date, no approx time given, so I will have to wait in again.
This company's customer services is deplorable. If something goes wrong they are a nightmare to deal with. Also from my experience the items advertised on the website and shown in store can not be trusted. How they continue to stay in business is baffling. I will await to see how quickly I will get my refund. I won't hold my breath. Stay clear 😤.
The furniture was collected on 13/02. However, I had to call (16/02) customer services myself to get my refund. The refund was applied two days later. I have noticed however that the sofa is still shown on the SCS website, without the patched leather to the sides and arms, this is clearly misleading to any future potential buyer's. Not good 👎

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY if you want good…
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY if you want good after care customer service.
We bought a recliner sofa.
After only 4 weeks of being used, the cushions were out of shape and had creases in the material?!
We used their after care recommendations, turning the cushions every 1-2 weeks & the creases were still visible on both sides of the cushions.
We sent them images, showing them dipping in the middle and then clearly being all creased.
They initially told us it was our own fault for not following their after care guidelines (which we did)
But then said it was completely normal for that to happen???
So which one is it.......
Because it can't be both???
Even if the after care guidelines weren't followed, NOBODY should be buying a couch that goes out of shape in just 4 weeks?!?
It's clearly faulty & badly made but they couldn't care less.
We disagreed, they did nothing & said 'thats our final decision'
No apology, no offer of inspection.
NOTHING........
The couch was over £2000 and lasted no more than 4 weeks before looking like a 1-2 year old couch.
Don't waste your money on this absolute JOKE OF A COMPANY.
We will now be taking this to trading standards.
Your response also shows a lack of interest.....
Just a generic 'we're sorry you didn't like the outcome' speak to someone else about it.

Late and wrong
Turned up a month later than expected then was wrong.
Wishthe communication with the admin team was as good as the reply on trustpilot.
Had a reply 1 week later from a no reply email address, asking me to provide info the delivery men submitted with the delivery note.
Went to store they can’t help.
Sent a second complaint form online still no reply 3 weeks later after delivery.
Cant phone anyone. Even if you do leave a voicemail, don’t get a reply.
Shocking customer service.

Excellent service from SCS went above and beyond in assisting me with my delivery they delayed my delivery for me until I was ready for it. The two guys that delivered it today we're very professional,polite and friendly explaining everything they we're doing. They were so quick and cleaning everything as they went couldn't be more happy with my new furniture would highly recommend.
Thanks for a great experience.

Kate W at Aintree store was excellent
Kate W at Aintree store was excellent. Answered all our questions clearly and concisely and nothing was too much trouble.
Excellent service
Excellent service. Contacted to say they would be earlier . Took time to help my mum decide how she wanted the furniture . Professional .
I would like to give a huge thanks to Kate!
I would like to give a huge thank you to Kate at ScS Sofas - Aintree Shopping Park for her outstanding customer service. From start to finish, Kate was helpful, friendly, and thoroughly professional while assisting me with the purchase of my sofa bed.
She took the time to listen carefully to what I was looking for, explained the options clearly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Nothing felt rushed, and her warm, approachable manner made the experience genuinely enjoyable.
It’s rare to come across such attentive and knowledgeable service these days, and Kate is a real credit to ScS. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to the store again and would highly recommend asking for her if and when considering another purchase.
Thank you, Kate!

Very clever you send me a reply which I cannot reply back to you. I cannot get in touch with you which is like déjà vu anyway so no do not get anything. from this store. All lies that’s all I can say. The after-care everything about it just keep getting passed around. I was willing to give you a chance to explain why I could not use my care plan which I paid for.

Today we received a call from the manager or your Aintree store, he called after 2 emails had been sent to your company. My wife explained she had ordered black cushions but had received blue ones, he basically said she’d signed the order sheet so that’s our problem, also our suite lay in a warehouse in Scotland for 4 weeks before we received it again not your problem
We feel very let down by your customer service
It is honestly non existent
As explained to your very helpful manager we ordered black cushions but dark blue came, how does a customer know which colour a number represents, however as stated by your lovely manager it’s not the company’s fault
Extremely poor customer service from this company

From the moment we entered the sale room to the delivery today it has been a pleasure and great customer experience.
My scs delivery
Delivery men attended between the allocated time. Brought in the house. Nothing was to much trouble. Assembled couch . Removed the rubbish. In and out in 10 minutes. Really friendly.
SCS are a complete joke !
SCS are a complete joke who are not interested once they have your money. We bought a sofa which we collected on the 11th of August and once we unwrapped it we realised it was damaged. The material underneath was ripped the wheel was shredded, there was a hole in the material at the bottom and the runners that a pull out bit operates from was bent out of shape. they finally sent an engineer who replaced the material but could not fix the mechanism and said he needed instructions from Italy, SCS promised week after week to call us back and keep us updated which they never did, We have been ringing them twice a week for the last month to the point we have asked them to come and collect the sofa and give us a refund which they refused.. We are now having to file a section 75 claim with our credit card company.. DO Not use SCS they are a joke..
