Visited the Carlisle store
Visited the Carlisle store. Steven introduced himself as we entered and explained the store a little and then left us to it. On noticing our interest in one of the sofas he came back over and showed us how it work (adjustable back rest) encouraged us to get comfy. He never pressured us at all just gave us all the information we needed. We left to look elsewhere but returned a few hours later. Steven recognised us straight away and looked after us for the rest of our visit we ordered a couch and footstool. Fantastic service, not pushy but you get all the information you need with a little bit of humour thrown in from everybody. Xx

Ordered two settees from SCS
Ordered two settees from SCS, delivery arranged for Saturday, i received a phone call on Friday evening with an approximate time for delivery Saturday morning i received a email with a delivery time and tracking capability.
Jake and Craig arrived in good time and were very professional and helpful and friendly in all they did, I would highly recommend this company.
Excellent service
Plenty of notice given prior to delivery via email and messages. Delivery driver/s called day before and on morning of delivery giving a time. Delivered on time and assembled within 30 minutes. 2 lovely guys, extremely pleasant. Really pleased with purchase. Excellent service from start to finish

I had a very pleasant and a relaxing experience browsing the ScS showroom, I was met and welcomed into the store by Kaylee, she asked me what I was interested in and immediately gave me directions within the store where I may find what I needed. I like to browse on my own and it wasn’t long before I found what I was looking for. Steven took care of the sale and has the same interest in helping the costumer. I picked the furniture up myself and with no fuss I was on my way. I found the staff efficient, friendly and knowledgeable and very much a team. A1+.
I’ll definitely shop there again.

Great experiance buying our new sofa thanks to the help and service from Steven..
Amazing
We were seen by Jordan and are very happy with our experience. He introduced himself and left us to it until we had chosen one. He was really lovely and talked us through everything, very polite and friendly. Totally recommend all the staff were so lovely and easily approachable. Lovely sofa selection as well!
Great experience, thank you Vikki
We visited the Carlisle store at the weekend, from the moment we stepped into the store Vikki greeted us with a warm friendly welcome, when searching for our ideal sofa she was extremely helpful with options and advice. It was very much appreciated as this was our first time buying a sofa. Vikki made our experience stress free and enjoyable, she is a credit to the company.
Excellent store
Excellent store, lots to choose from. Kayley went above and beyond for us, all staff were so lovely and thanked us for our order. Definitely worth a look if your looking for a sofa.
Lovely new store with friendly, non-pushy staff
Really just went along to get an idea of what we wanted but had such a good experience we ended up buying! Kayley was great - very knowledgeable but not pushy. She gave us loads of options to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble and she happily provided lots of fabric samples and left us alone to have some thinking time. If the product is as good as the service we'll be extremely happy! Looking forward to delivery in May😁
Friendly professional service
I cannot fault this service from Jordan Carlisle store to the two delivery lads they were very friendly and professional respected my property and pleasant.
Well done scs .
100 per cent.
SCS in Carlisle
Called into SCS in Carlisle just to take a look. It’s often off putting going into showrooms as salespeople can be too pushy. Our experience with SCS in Carlisle was very different. The showroom is set out well and inviting. We’re were met by Graeme McCall, he was excellent. He introduced himself, told us a little about a sofa we were looking at and then left us alone. We walked around the store and it was very relaxing, no other salesperson approached us. Clearly Graeme kept an eye on us but we never felt harassed or pestered. He occasionally came back to us to share his knowledge on other sofas we were looking at. Graeme’s approach with us was perfect, never once used closing techniques and just let us take our time. In the end we did buy and the whole experience was great and we felt we got a good deal. It’s nice to enjoy such an experience as sometimes buying such items can be a chore.
Fully recommend SCS in Carlisle, I’m sure all the staff are as respectful as Graeme.
The customer service person
The customer service person, Kayley was extremely helpful when showing me chairs that would fit my requirements. She made sure that all the recline features were demonstrated and was successful in finding a recliner chair that was perfect for what I need it for, thank you very much !
Pleasant shopping experience.
The new Carlisle store is nice and bright with lots of space to walk around. The staff are very polite and helpful but not pushy, giving you plenty of time to look around. Our assistant today was Kayley. She was very friendly, knowledgable and attentive. Also concerned that we made the right choice in furniture for our new home, in doing so gave us ample time to consider the number of options available to us. We left feeling confident we had made the right choice and are looking forward to taking delivery in May.

One of the better experiences we've had in this sort of store. The assistant we dealt with was very helpful and not to pushy. Jordan answered all our questions, if he didn't know of the top of his head he found out for us. Overall a pleasant experience.
The whole experience from ente
The whole experience from entering the store to leaving was great.When entering store there is a very relaxed atmosphere and no one dives to capture you,we were browsing upstairs when this lovely female was walking past and asked if she could help we told her what we were looking for and she pointed out what we were looking for and told us to try them out and just to give her a signal if we needed help which we soon did,nothing was a bother to her she had loads of advice and information so lovely and friendly directed us downstairs to show and inform us on more of the stock we found exactly what we were looking for and purchased it, this was in the Carlisle store and her name was Kaylei beautiful inside and out a great asset to your business,so glad this store has opened 😀
