Excellent service from the Sofa Workshop in Bengal Centre, Kingston. The assistant was friendly, very knowledgeable, efficient and very flexible when I added to my order a week later.
Fantastic 50% off sale!

Service in shop was great

Service in shop was great. Slightly disappointed at the lead time for the two chairs (20 weeks) but not unexpected in the current environment. Can't comment on the finished product yet.

Lovely showroom & excellent service

Lovely showroom & excellent service. Found the perfect sofa in the sale for half price. The only problem is the long wait for delivery extended by out of stock fabric. But should be worth it!

Great customer service and great products

Great customer service and great products, I have dealt with a few furniture companies recently and they have all been rubbish. This was a refreshingly good experience great staff in the store, Tiffany was excellent and kept us updated, lovely people making the appointments for delivery and the guys that made the delivery couldn't have been more professional. We are very happy customers!

great Sofa and chair

Really pleased with my sofa and chair. Great service and they kept me up to date through out the order and delivery period regarding what stage my delivery was at.
Was delighted with the delivery team who were very helpful, set the furniture up and then took all the rubbish away with them.
Would definably recommend Sofa workshop

Where is our sofa

Where is our sofa?
We purchased a sofa from sofa workshop Exeter and they were very helpful. Since then Exeter has closed down and the service we have received has been shocking!
Nobody at head office answers the phone and as for the delivery company I have just held on for 51 minutes and still not got threw! I have been ringing for a week to get a delivery slot and still not been successful.
Several times we have called the Bath store and they have been helpful but they cannot get threw to head office either!
So disappointing as we have already given our sofas to a charity as the delivery was meant to be the first week in January.
Could somebody please help organise to at least answer your phones!!!
Never again !

Dear J Hood,

Thank you for your review, we really appreciate you highlighting this with us, and apologise sincerely for the frustration caused.

We are very sorry you had trouble reaching us, our phone line is constantly manned between 8am and 8pm and so it's perplexing that you haven't been able to get through. We will be investigating this immediately.

We have contacted you via email in the prior weeks, however if you have not received our updates I'd like to request further details as we must have incorrect contact information.

We sincerely apologise that you have faced difficulties in contacting us and will do all we can to rectify this for you. Thank you for your patience.

Warm regards,
Rory

the staff in the shop in Bath were great and nothing was too much trouble. Yjet even moved a chair next too the sofa we wanted so we could see what it looked like.
The only downside is the wait for it.
Price was excellent and the fabric choices were perfect.

Sofa Workshop Review

Sofa Workshop Review

It was such a pleasure working with Tia to find the perfect sofa for my new place. She was beyond helpful throughout the process, explaining the different options I could consider and answering all my questions. I was really impressed with the high-quality service that I received and would certainly recommend Tia/Sofa Workshop to others!

Bromley Store

Bromley Store
So helpful and jumped straight on my request for samples on Boxing Day - I had requested them whilst scrolling on Christmas Day. In the shop we met with Alejandra who was so helpful and explained everything clearly. My sister has had two Caruso sofas for around 10 years and other than being recovered to match the change in décor they are going strong, so I decided Sofa Workshop was the best option. Hopefully I will be raving about the sofa when it arrives.

St Albans Branch

I visited the St Albans branch and the service was exceptional; attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about their products.
It’s a shame the wait for the sofa is 20 weeks, but because of the care I was given, I am happy to wait.

Very pleased with the service so far from Sofa Workshop. Swatches were sent out quickly and the shop staff in Bristol were very helpful. I've not taken delivery of my sofa yet so hope that the high level of quality and service is maintained.

Lovely helpful staff, very informative and knowledgeable about the products. Answered all my questions and queries and made the whole process easy and simple. Would definitely recommend the 'Sofa Workshop' store in Harrogate!
This was the second time I have purchased furniture from there over the years and both times were brilliant.
