Friendly and helpful staff

Friendly and helpful staff - Chloe Northfield spent a lot of time with us and gave helpful advice.
Showroom was spacious and we liked the way that the fabric samples were hung up instead of flick through booklets.
The showroom had a gorgeous smell!
Can’t wait for our sofa to arrive!

Customer beware!

Customer beware!! The sale staff lied to my mother about a footstool my mother ordered. Did not tell her or write on the invoice the size they ordered which was bigger than the one she requested.
Then when it was delivered she was given the run around from there customer services down to the store manager who would never reply to calls.
She ended up giving up because it was making her ill. She now a £250 stool in her back room she can’t use cause it’s to big and heavy for her to move.
But they got there sale and commission.

Good Morning Andy,

I hope you are well and thank you for your review.

I am very sorry to read about the issues that your Mother has experienced regarding the footstool.

Looking over the confirmation document I can see that the FUSIGNANO STORAGE FOOTSTOOL was ordered with the furniture however I apologise if this was not what you had expected and found it too big for your home.
It is noted that we requested for the store to discuss this with you.

Please call on 0191 7313300 should you need to discuss this further with the store.

Kind regards,

Very disappointed with the service…

Very disappointed with the service provided by Poltronesofà Chelmsford.
On my first visit to the store the Staff were very unfriendly and very unwelcoming.
I purchased the items and had to wait four months for it to arrive. I was told it would be made in Italy, but when the crew arrived they told me it came from China!!!!
Items were missing on delivery, and after making several calls, the Staff was very unhelpful and provided very little customer service.
I regret my purchase from this store as everything about it was a nightmare.
If I had a choice of returning items and get a FULL refund I would not hesitate.
They did not honour their part in anyway.
I paid up in full, and expected more from as they promised but never delivered.
Training in Customer service is definitely required.

Delivery guys were very polite and professional, although 2 and half hours late and no communication. I had to phone the store for an update. No call from delivery guys prior to delivery as promised by store.

Good Morning Janet,

Thank you for taking your time to share your feedback in relation to your experience with us here at Poltronesofà at ScS.

We're pleased to hear that you found our delivery team to be polite and professional during their visit. However, we're sorry that your overall delivery experience was affected by the delay and the lack of communication regarding the crew's arrival time.

While we always aim to arrive within the scheduled delivery window, our estimated times are subject to change due to factors such as traffic, weather and other unforeseen circumstances that can affect our delivery crews throughout the day however, I appreciate how frustrating this may have been especially as you were not contacted by the Crew prior to them arriving to your property.

Thank you again for sharing your feedback and I hope you enjoy your new furniture.

Kindest Regards,

My delivery was on time and the crew were very quick and efficient putting the sofas together showing me how to work the recliner seats. They cleared all the packaging and put it in there van then took it away. They were very polite and respectful of my property.

The lady who served us Jackie was a nice lady but while taking personal details wasn’t very discreet and others customers could hear it all we feel we should of been taken to a part of the shop where our details were not shared and heard by other customers.

Friendly and helpful, highly recommended

We were greeted upon entering the shop, but we we not pounced upon. We were able to walk around the store without any pressure. We found the suite we wanted then spoke with the salesman, who was really nice and friendly. When trying to choose a fabric, we asked his opinion, apparently the worst question to ask because they don't know the room it's going in, but he did ask us a few questions that made us question our decision, and in the end we went with what we had chosen, so he made us think rather than giving an opinion, which I think was more valuable. We then went through the costs, etc, but even at this point, there was no pressure to commit to a purchase, but then I could feel the eyes of my wife burning into me, it felt like Aunt Lucy's hard stare. We purchased the suite and went through the Ts&Cs, and job done.
Friendly, helpful and I would highly recommend. 👍🏻
