Buy at your own risk!

They ordered the wrong configuration of my couch and then blamed me saying that it was my fault because I asked for/didnt review my order properly. Not interested in resolution just making up excuses to avoid resolve. If i were you I would pay that bit extra and deal with a proper company like DFS or Sofology.

Ciao Kyall,

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

We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience.

When an order is placed, all customers receive an order confirmation and are given 48 hours to review and amend any details, including the sofa configuration, before the order is processed with the manufacturer.

We do appreciate that mistakes can happen, however we do also rely on customers checking the order confirmation carefully to ensure all details are correct.

We apologise if you feel dissatisfied with the outcome.

As there are no order details provided within your review I am unable to look into your account further.

If you do require further assistance please send an email to socialmedia@poltronesofa.co.uk along with a screenshot of your review and order number in order for this to be looked at.

Many Thanks

Good experience

The guys who brought our furniture were lovely, really careful carrying it in and placing it in the house and really friendly and chatty.
The only issue is I did not get my leather cleaning kit??

Disappointed in the poor after sales / customer services support

I ordered my three seater double recliner in January and it has been delivered today in May. The pleasant experience of ordering and delivering has now been overshadowed by the fact that one of the recliners is defective in that the neck and lumbar buttons aren’t working. It’s disappointing that you are unable to speak directly to customer services and have to submit an email and wait! Hardly makes you feel valued and supported. Very disappointed with the quality of the product and the after sales service.
Following on from this I have received an email from the parts department to confirm that they have accepted I have a case and have ordered the replacement part with an expected delivery date of 12 weeks and then will have to arrange a technician to attend thereafter. I loved the sofa in the showroom but am not loving the sub standard sofa currently doing half a job in my living room.

Ciao Helen,

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

I am very sorry to see that you have concerns with your furniture and are disappointed in the service received so far.

We do require for any concerns to be raised initially via our online contact form as this allows for us to obtain all of the relevant information to advise on the next steps. Following this should you need to speak with our aftercare team then you can call on 0191 7313300.

I can see that your form has been received and a service raised with the technicians at Emmiera. They will review and reach out to you directly regarding the next steps.
Please accept my apologies that you do have these concerns and we will look to have this resolved as quickly as possible.

Sofa

We received confirmation our new sofa was coming which was great but when it arrived the delivery staff who were fantastic rang my husband to ask if we had double doors which we said no we have standard door size the same as most households. The delivery lads tried their hardest to deliver our new sofa which was fully paid for but was unable to as too big so they had to return it to the company which I understand as I needed it safe as cost a lot of money. We got a phone no from one of the delivery lads of a man who can take furniture apart to get it into the property which we contacted and he did an amazing job highly recommended so after 2 days of not having anything to sit on we got sorted after having to pay a further £240 to the gentleman . When we purchased the sofa we had no mention of needing large door way as we thought the sofa came apart into sections to fit through as most properties have the same standard size doors. This should have been explained to us in store before purchasing. The only thing the lady told us to measure was where in the living room the sofa would be going which we did. I’m very disappointed with the aftercare when trying to resolve this matter as after contacting the store manager who was no help whatsoever we had no further communication from yourselves regarding receiving our sofa we had to sort it ourselves with the gentleman who was taking it apart. Feels like once you got the sale/funds in full you were not interested in any further help. The delivery lads and man who got it in were brilliant but that’s the only good thing I have to say , I’ll be advising people to shop elsewhere. I also think your staff need extra product and customer service training as things should be explained in more detail.
Kind regards

Ciao Mrs Whitehouse,

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

I am very sorry that your delivery did not go as expected on the day and the furniture was deemed as non-fit.
The crew will always aim to set up the furniture in your room of choice however will advise if the goods do not fit, to prevent any damage to the furniture or to your home.

In regards to the sizing, it is a customers responsibility to measure the furniture, against the access points within your home to ensure that this will fit. The team in store can provide measurements of the furniture however we do not not offer a home measuring service.
Again I am very sorry that the outcome is not what you may have hoped for.
We appreciate your feedback and will ensure that this is passed onto the store.

Kind regards,

Amazing Shop

We went in just to look for a new sofa and Jennifer attended to us and she was simply amazing she went through everything with us and helped us pick our favourite sofa. She wasn't pushy she just let us do our own thing especially shopping with a new born.

Bought the Ostellato couch from SCS…

Bought the Ostellato couch from SCS yesterday and had a really great experience. Jennifer was brilliant — she gave me space to look around (which I really appreciated as I hate being pestered), but as soon as I needed help she was straight there. Friendly, helpful, and not pushy at all. Can’t wait to receive my couch — it was honestly the comfiest thing I’ve ever sat on! Will definitely be returning after this experience.
