Sofa and chair delivered on time
Sofa and chair delivered on time and drivers were very polite and helpful, unfortunately when they were trying to get sofa into longer they accidentally hit a door covering off the door next to the lounge they got a screw driver and replaced it.
Highly recommended
All the staff involved in buying & delivering our sofa have been brilliant. No hard sell, but good advice to help us choose, full & accurate info given, kept up to date with delivery dates & times, and the delivery was completed in a few minutes (a 4 seater sofa too, hardly tiny!). Really happy from beginning to end, 5 star service!
Excellent delivery men
Excellent delivery men, courteous and respectful of our home. Took time to demonstrate workings.
Amazing experience from start to finish
From start to finish Julie from Cardiff Gate was absolutely amazing spent a lot of time helping me to pick what I was looking for and the delivery boys were so clean and carful with the suite I was very happy with all of the experience Thank you so much I will definitely recommend . Wendy from Merthyr
Excellent communication and efficient service
Good communication. Confirmation of broad delivery time day before and a more accurate slot advised on morning of delivery. Driver rang about 15 minutes before arrival. Two man team (Gabriel &Cristian) were quick and efficient and used a protector mat to avoid marking the carpet. Very pleased.
Excellent!!
Excellent!!
From my order to the delivery everything was faultless. Thank you ScS for making everything so effortless. I would also like to thank the Delivery men who were brilliant. Keeping me informed exactly when they were coming and treating both me and the new furniture with respect.
Great Experience with SCS
Ordered our sofas back in August 2025 and explained we couldn’t take delivery until January 2026 which wasn’t an issue.
Arranged delivery in early January for today 13th and we were kept informed of delivery by means of the tracking link and messages of estimated time slot. Delivery was completed by two gentleman Andrew and Huw who were polite, professional and treated our home and us with respect. Took all packaging away with them which was great.
Excellent service. No fuss or bother
Kept up to date with delivery date and time. Two very pleasant young men assembled the sofas and put them in place. Explained mechanism for recliner. Removed all packaging. Very professional service.

Not fit for purpose, not as described £2400 on sub standard furniture.
UPDATE: READ BEFORE YOU BUY!
I have spoken to customer service today 36 hours after delivery, they state to me I am unable to return the furniture without an inspection. Dependant on the report depends if they will accept a return!
This is illegal and a breach of my consumer and statutory rights. I have agreed for the inspection but have said under no circumstances am I keeping the sofa. To have so much shoddy workmanship and issues within the first few hours of having an item, also being told it had pocket sprung seats and clearly this does not, I am entitled to reject the item. If the inspector comes and this is not taken away I will be taking this company to court for breaching the consumer rights act.
Frustrating and terrible way to deal with customers!
DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!
I ordered a sofa from the Cardiff Gate store on 14th September. The staff were helpful, and the showroom model seemed perfect.
(Order ref 150050-1000336084)
The sofa was delivered yesterday, 16/12, and within hours of use, serious issues were clear:
- it was sold in store as being pocket spring seat cushions. It is clear this is solid foam.
• Seat material rippling and indentations appearing after minimal use.
• Rear cushions uneven and stitching misaligned.
• Large gap where sofa sections meet.
• Footrest on cuddle chair uneven.
• Seat padding advised on sale as pocket springs is clearly solid foam.
This sofa is not fit for purpose, and I have been trying to exercise my consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, but it has been impossible to contact SCS due to the way their website and customer service are set up. This is extremely frustrating, especially so close to Christmas.
I cannot recommend SCS, as this sofa is far below showroom quality and unlikely to last more than a few months.
: in response to your reply, I have done so and I’d appreciate if someone could contact me today. I am not prepared for this to drag on due to your customer service system being sub standard as well. I emailed the store also and no one has got back to me.

First Sofa purchase in 20 years
First Sofa purchase in 20 years! Following a bereavement and separation this purchase was my own choice. Cannot fault the delivery team went above and beyond. I just wish I measured a bit better but my 3 kids will love it. A+
The delivery was very stressful as we…
The delivery was very stressful as we live on a building site and the men couldn’t avoid getting their boots dirty to come in the house. My new carpet and flooring right through the house were covered in mud. I understand they weren’t allowed to take their boots off for health and safety so it couldn’t be avoided. But I was upset. Both men however were very polite and apologetic. Sadly the one recliner is making a very loud rubbing noise when reclining so will have to contact SCS on Monday.
Fantastic sofa! Awkward delivery
Fantastic sofa!
Shame the delivery made a fuss about getting the sofa into the house.
Really happy with the product though.
Disgusting customer service.
Disgusting customer service. I purchased a 3 seater sofa and armchair in July of this year from the store in Leckwith Cardiff. Both items were delivered with large creases and loose material. We have had 2 technicians from Emmiera arranged by Scs, the first diagnosed a manufacturing fault, proceeded to add a dacron wrap to the chair, however, within the hour the problem reappeared, the second technician arrived a month later and diagnosed no manufacturing fault. The ombudsman agreed but his decision was based on the reports from the technicians. I am now in receipt of the reports which has so much false information on them inclusive of dates.
If you are reading this review please check the scs complaints site on Facebook. DO NOT HANDOVER ANY MONEY TO THIS COMPANY BECAUSE THE STAFF INSTORE APPEAR TO BE SO OBLIGING. THE AFTERCARE SERVICE IS ZERO. I have purchased sofas from this Company for the last 15 years but the service received now is diabolical, AVOID AT ALL COST!
