I spent hours choosing the right furniture, visiting two separate SCS stores before making my decision.

The Bolton sofa in the showroom was extremely comfortable, but the furniture I received was nothing like the display model. It feels completely different, with cushions that don’t seem to have the same quality or level of support as those I tried in store.

Another issue is the fabric. It wrinkles almost immediately after sitting on it, whereas the showroom sofa didn’t do this at all.

I contacted Poltronesofà to raise my concerns, but they refused to acknowledge my rights under the Consumer Rights Act. Their response was simply that there were no manufacturing faults and that I had received exactly what I ordered. Under UK consumer law, goods should be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and match their description or any model or sample shown before purchase.

Overall, I am extremely disappointed with both the product and the customer service.

Before buying from this company, I would recommend checking out the “SCS Sofa and Furniture Complaints” Facebook page to read about other customers’ experiences.

Delivery guys pulled their faces when I asked them to move my old sofa, but did it in the end.

Good Afternoon Mr Berry,

I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

We would usually ask for the room to be cleared of your existing furniture, prior to delivery, as this is not something that the crew would normally assist with. We generally only offer a delivery/installation service for your new furniture.

I am pleased that they were able to help you with this and thank you for your order with us.
We hope that you are happy with your new sofa.

Many thanks,

Really disappointed with the product and customer service in this place. We have received the wrong color very unhappy with the service, it is apparently our fault. How are we meant to know your code as a colour isn’t stated.
The sales lady put the wrong colour and now this won’t be rectified.

Such awful service they don’t care what they order as long as they get they are quids in. Very very angry at scs or poltrona sofas. They can stick there sorry right back up their backsides.

My living room doesn’t match! Unhappy with colour! Unhappy with the service. Steer right away from this store.

We waited 16 weeks for our suite to arrive. When it was delivered, everything looked fine and there were no issues at all. But after a week or two, we started to notice that the cushion on the recliner didn’t seem right. We thought it might just need time to settle, but it never did.

After having the suite for only four weeks, I contacted the company through their online form to let them know about the problem and asked for someone to come and have a look. Instead, I got an email saying they couldn’t find a fault with the suite. I’m not sure how they came to that conclusion when no one had even been out to inspect it.

What made it even more frustrating was that they said the problem was because the suite hadn’t been cared for properly according to their care guide. We’ve only had it for four weeks, so I honestly don’t know how they can say that.

This definitely isn’t over. If this is how they treat customers who’ve only just bought their furniture, it doesn’t say much about their customer service. I certainly won’t be buying from them again, and I’ll be making sure other people know about my experience too.

From walking into the store at Middlebrook Bolton I was given a warm welcome by Mandy.
I explained what I didn't want and she guided me through the range and took me to see a selection of sofas. I wasn't rushed even though it was very close to 8pm.
I had made my choice but wanted to go back the day after with my husband.
After a few minutes Mandy appeared and offered coffee while hubby & me checked out the different swatches.
Everything eent like clockwork.
Thank you Mandy @ Middlebrook Bolton. X

I have never in my life dealt with a manager who was as rude and unprofessional as this one. I called a few days ago to discuss my concerns, and the way she spoke to me was completely unacceptable. She had a serious attitude problem and made me feel as though my concerns were an inconvenience.

As a paying customer, I expect to be treated with respect, but that was certainly not the case. The manager really needs to improve the way she speaks to customers because no one should be spoken to in that manner.

I also purchased a discounted showroom sofa and was told that my new sofa would be delivered and my old one taken away. It was only after the purchase that I found out there was an additional charge for removing my old sofa. This was never explained to me beforehand.

I’m also left unsure whether my discounted showroom sofa comes with a one-year warranty because I haven’t been given clear information. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with the customer service and the way my concerns have been handled.
