Almost 5 stars!

I got a call early on from the driver, to say they would be late, as they’d had a flat tyre. I was happy that they had let me know.
Would have given 5 stars, but one of the guys broke a piece of my furniture, thankfully the other delivery man was able to fix it. Not perfectly, but I was happy with the result.

Good Afternoon Jason,

Thank you for your review.

We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience with us but am sorry for the issue caused that made us fall short of that 5-star experience.

I am glad to hear that although the drivers ran into an issue with their tyre that they kept up communication with you to make you aware that they would be delayed in making your delivery.

As you have advised that the crew did break a piece of your furniture but was able to be fixed by the other driver - albeit not perfectly - if you require this to be looked at please do not hesitate to fill in our online contact form for a member of the aftercare team to review.

This will enable us to obtain all of the relevant information that we need to review your concerns, and advise on the next steps.

Recent Experience with SCS Middlebrook Bolton

Back in January 2026 we ordered a Corner Unit Sofa and Swivel chair from SCS Middlebrook Bolton.
We actually sat on the actual Corner Unit and Swivel Chair we liked both in style and colour with beige trims.
We trusted the SCS Salesman as to what was ordered that we could have.
We paid a 30% deposit of approx £1400.00
The salesman never went through the order nor the terms and conditions and we only received a copy of a quotation and NEVER received a copy of our order and terms and conditions of sales.
We revisited the said store some weeks later to check on the situation only to be told that our order was being done in Bottle Green without beige trims, something we did not order.
We then eventually had to cancel our order and being told we would lose our deposit of £1400.00 as it was our fault.
After revisiting the said store a few times to see the manager we were told that we would not get our deposit back nor have it transferred to a re-order and we were told that we would have to pay another deposit.
Our order was cancelled by the said store.
We have also read that some SCS customers got there deposit returned.
We then contacted the Furniture Ombudsman and gave them all the information and details we had at the time.

After a few weeks with emails between all parties we were informed by the Furniture Ombudsman that they are not pursuing our complaint against SCS Middlebrook Bolton.

This would have been the fourth order that SCS would have had off ourselves over the past 20 years and this is how they treat there existing and loyal customers.

We strongly recommend that people go and shop elsewhere and get a better deals and service.
We actually went to Oak Furniture Land and ordered a Settee and two chairs without any problems whatsoever.

Good Morning David,

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

I am very sorry to read about your experience and that the furniture was not as expected.
Once an order is finalised in store a copy of all order documents are sent via email. We do ask that this is checked to ensure all information is correct as any changes must be made within 2 days.

Unfortunately I am unable to locate an order in your name for the Bolton Store, and as your order reference is not included I am unable to advise further.
I apologise that the outcome regarding the cancellation and refund is not what you may have hoped for on this occasion.

Many thanks,

Received my new sofa and it’s got marks on the arm and behind the back of the sofa. Looks like brown stains like coffee or tea has been dropped. Paid a lot of money for this and when we purchased in store there was no stain on it.

I have sent email but not had no response.

The warmest of greetings from the Horwich Team

We were greeted with the warmest of welcomes from all the staff the minute we walked through the door, Then Samina explained the company's products and labelling to us.... whilst walking around trying out sofas we were offered coffee, which was lovely, where Samina was very knowledgeable about our questions, taking time to listen to our needs and what we were looking for, not once di we feel like we were being pushed into buying..... With Saminas help we found the perfect product fo us and our individual needs. We were reluctant to buy the warranty due to a recent dissatisfaction with another company, but, Samina thoroughly explained your procedures, to the extent that never in my life have I felt so confident in a product which we were about to purchase, I had to speak to the manager Chris just to give him such feedback about this member of staff, and truly hope Samina is recognised for her ability, her knowledge and her hospitality... working in retail ourselves we know all too well how hard it can be, so Thank you to Chris, Samina and all the staff at Horwich store for making our shopping trip so much easier.....
Regards
Amanda and Chris

The delivery went smoothly,the team were very capable and pleasant. We ordered sliders for the feet,if I hadnt mentioned them they would not have fitted them as they were unaware they were needed,in fact said are never told? Although we were advised of the estimated delivery time it arrived just over 2 hours after the initial one given. I also feel the cost of delivery was very high for 2 chairs considering the speed of installation and compared to other retailers on the same site. The experience in the branch was very good.

The guys came in a box van not sign writen with company name or anything to say what it was . Two delivery guys , only the driver spoke , pleasant chap , they where very respecfull of our property doing everything in a carefull manner , very deliberate in the task of assembling the sofas , they removed all rubbish & left . Then my wife & i had time to look over what we recieved & we are very impressed with the quality / sturdiness / look & the componants . also how well the feet are placed being thought of when fitting it looks like you could only fit them one way having been pre-located prior to on site fitting . Details matter , we watched the guys do there job & they did everything expected . Great job start to finish . Oh & the sofa is great too . Many thanks .

My sofa arrived damaged

My sofa arrived damaged, and even though it was display stock, nobody told me it was damaged before I paid for it.

I’ve called twice asking to speak to a manager, but no manager has come to the phone. Instead, I’ve had to deal with rude staff. One man with a deep voice in particular had no telephone manners at all and was really rude and aggressive.

I’ve paid good money for this sofa and expected much better customer service. I definitely won’t be recommending this company.

Delivered early AM and all correct

The sofa was delivered early AM Saturday and all was present and correct. The time window for delivery was about 4 hours and arrived pretty much in the middle of that, 8.45am approx. It would have been nice to have a bit more of a sleep in on Saturday morning as I needed to be on duty at 7am. A minor quibble given the 2.5 month sofa wait time. The delivery guys did a good job. Look forward to many years of use. Thanks again.
