The sofa was great in the shop but after 7 months its a total disaster.

The sofa was great in the shop, received on 28th Jan 25 and its only October 25, cannot clean easily. The fabric is fraying and large holes appeared on two cushions.

An amazing experience with SCS

We had an amazing experience with SCS.
Lenos, helped us making sure that we pick the right sofa. From purchasing to the receiving they were within the agreed timeframe. The delivery guys from Bonaci were super careful with the furniture and assembled it in seconds.

Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Since this is the only way to get anyone to respond to any kind of communication as it's public.... SCS sofas have once again outdone themselves by not responding to emails and asking us to contact the branch we bought out sofas from to ask them to cancel the order. We turn up at the Staples Corner store in London to find that the store is closed down and empty! LOL. So SCS head office isn't aware of this obviously!!! All we want is a full refund for our order and to cancel it. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Sofabed delivery

Service in the shop was very helpful & informative, explained the different mechanisms of the sofabeds. It was a long wait for the sofa to be in stock/notification of stock - 2&half months, not the 6-8wks advised. However, once in stock the information and delivery process was very straightforward and efficient.
The delivery crew were very pleasant & efficient at the end of a day of deliveries. The tracking link was helpful as times were adjusted on the day.

Evening Beth

What a surprise customer service was meant to call tonight to discuss my parents faulty sofa.
No call to myself or my parents 😢
We are not surprised, ongoing since 18th March, no help from store or customer service 😢

Such terrible customer service

SCS Social Media get your act together

SCS Social Media get your act together. Daughter (my 3rd contact) was told by the above that the store manager of SCS Staples Corner would be in contact to sort out problem. What a farce he'd hadn't heard from them and guess what HE CANT HELP!! Emmeria man came and told me sofa was damaged, needed mending, why would I want a BRAND new sofa mended when I didn't cause the damage. Was told BY SCS Manager at Brent Cross that they no.longer deal with the Company that my settee came from. So why did they sell me sofa that would no longer being continued. I just want rid of the mis-sold sofa A.S.A.P. and my deposit returned.

Just issues over issues

My sofa arrived 28th February, after 3 days I sent an email to customer service with pictures attached that my sofa was in a bad condition. After a month, I was finally able to talk to someone on the phone after sending emails and emails and attempting to get hold of them on the phone. They sent someone to check the sofa and he agreed the sofa is not good and can't be repair. I just want my money back and SCS to come and collect this sofa from my place. I'm pregnant, and I can't stress about stuff like this.

If you are reading this message, DON'T BUY FROM SCS.

I understand how frustrating it can be to have issues with a new purchase, especially while pregnant. It sounds like you've been through a lot trying to get in touch with us and resolve the issue with your sofa.

As your order details are not included I am unable to advise further but if you would like to send a screenshot of your review, along with your order number or address and postcode to socialmedia@scs.co.uk and we can take a look.

Should have gone to DFS

Should have gone to DFS, SCS SHOCKING customer service. We were mis-sold a 2 seater sofa bed with scatter cushions which we DID NOT ask for. Sales Assistant told us the scatter cushions came FREE with the settee.So we took them because he kept on about them, little did we know what troubled layed ahead. The sofa bed we sat on and ordered had a standard back (TWO) cushions Also there is damage to the back of the settee leg!!

Good Morning Christine,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and for the feedback regarding your experience.

I am very sorry that your furniture was not as expected on arrival and that there was some damage to the back of the leg.
These concerns have been logged with our customer aftercare team and an appointment arranged with a technician to attend on 22/04/25.
Your order document does state that the sofa was ordered as a scatter back option however this is also being checked with the store to confirm what was discussed at the point of sale.

The team will be in touch following your technician visit.

Many thanks

Foam-ing at the Mouth

Purchased an end of line two seater sofa and a matching chair from Staples Corner store.
Mucked about on delivery from store agreed timings, ScS wanted to use third party (mates?) with store cancelling my delivery fee 72 hours later (£119.00 credit card) and forcing me to use cash in hand of £110.00 ????? Very dubious.
This meant I was away when items delivered late to wifey.
On my return, I discovered one of the item's seat pads (the single seater chair) had been "swapped" out for an inferior one made of lightweight fibre (this pad was for a three seat sofa from an cheaper range and labelled as such)....there was no ambiguity about it, as I unzipped the chair seat in- store at purchase time and saw what was in there....Firm foam pad (a buying choice requirement)
Several mails online about this went unanswered over eight-nine days, so returned to store with my evidence (namely photos showing a completely different item model on the interiors)
Manager dismissed this out of hand saying our word against theirs, they had no counter proof themselves to the contrary and no CCTV of the whole episode at purchase time ( testing it, sitting on it, looking at interiors etc) quelle surprise. Not interested in the evidence we had submitted or the balance of probabilities argument- who on earth buys two MATCHING identical items from the same range where one is markedly different to the other on a key specification?....only a complete and utter eejit.
We are talking about a bit of dense foam here that they implied we were trying to "thieve" after the sale or nefariously "upgrade" .....Jesus wept!

Credit card company has told us to reject the whole order (an escalation) over what we originally sought- a swap back the standard cushion for the range , same as the two seater we had bought on the day and tested and seen instore.
We await pick up, following a formal letter of complaint now sent to HQ and the Ops Director Mr. Steve Carson. Failing that, will run it by the Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman for a considered view.

Update:
Just heard back from the Actual Manufacturer LEBUS Upholstery- Who confirmed that the range Purchased never ever shipped with Fibre Seat Pads as an option or downgrade. Also supplied useful Information (in case of ombudsman/small court claim) about the Fibre Pad seat I did receive-which is at odds to what the Manager Carl told us when "challenged"
Thankfully, I recorded this conversation.

Strange, how the replies
from scssocialmedia team, only come now when the REVIEW goes up, and after being told "matter closed"

Josh Sent details, yet no acknowledgement as yet 48 hours later, seems that ScS only gives a stuff when bad reviews go in and only then mere lip service to make it look like they can be bothered.

Sale Invoice: S0058-1000192090

With that Invoice, you can do the legwork into the complaint and issues raised.

Awful customer service - don't buy from this store

I bought a sofa from SCS that arrived in not great conditions. I contacted customer service numerous times via email and never got a response. When I tried to call customer service, I used the option to be "called-back" as the waiting time was very long, again, I never got a call back!!! Don't buy sofas from this distributor, it's not worth it.

As discussed I have logged the concerns that you have with your furniture and passed this onto Emmiera.
They will contact you over the next 3-5 days for a technician to attend which we can then discuss any next steps with you following the report.
