“I bought a 3 piece suite from furniture Village with a 5 year guarantee, Paid £3048.00 Paid extra as I wanted the best quality leather that they had, as I wanted it to last. The Suite was delivered in March 2015. Found the a part of the 3 seater recliner started to crack, sent photos of the fault and was told that they would not repair it and offered £1856.00 to take it back, or pay me £200.00 for a partial refund is given in full settlement of the outstanding remaining 5 year product guarantee. Why offer a guarantee then not honour it . to me that is a con. I am still paying for the Suite on a 3 year interest free credit , What do you think of this practice the cracks are due to plastic joint not fit for purpose. The Letter I got was from Jenna Duquemin the After Care Team . Surely a top of the rang leather suite should last more than 2 years and why can't an upholster repair it. so it cost me 1192.00 to sit on the seats for 2 years £11.46 a week do you think this is right. They made the suite but will not repair it so they are writing it off after 2 years. This is what they advertise now. Every sofa, every bed, and all dining and bedroom furniture comes with our free 10 year guarantee. The guarantee covers all structural elements of our furniture including frames, springs and webbing, timber, veneers, structural stability and joints, bed frames and springs. Furniture Village Reply from Furniture Village Published 09 April 2017 Good Morning Paul Abbott, I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the part refund offered, based on the time of delivery to when the fault was first reported. I am unable to locate your order number through this feedback. If you would like this to be reviewed further please contact us on: https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/…/contac…/contact-us.html. Please accept my sincere apologies for the disappointment caused. Best wishes Julia. My Furniture Village order No is 353546110. So if I take your offer and the next suite has a fault again in 2 years, are you going to write that off as well ? What is covered? Been in contact with Trading Standards, they have told me about the sales of goods act 1979, told me the goods are not of a satisfactory quality, Will be informing the finance company Hitachi which was taken out on the interest free with furniture Village.”

“Late delivery by 10 weeks (missed promised Christmas date). Paid for 'professional' installation who managed to put two deep gouges in my wooden floor, left the sofas with four support feet missing causing it topple over backwards when I sat on it! Called store and spoke to the manager who shouted at me, because I was apparently being unreasonable to expect to be able to SIT on a sofa that I'd paid nearly £6000 pounds for!! I paid for extended warranty, and when I noticed that one of the chairs had stopped reclining not ,stainless waiting for a repair. Hopeless product, pathetic customer service 😡😡😡😡😡”

“Purchased a sofa in October, it was delivered in dec and completely the wrong colour feet to which we ordered. We reported this immediately and was promised they would call us back. We waited 3 WEEKS & nobody called. We called them again numerous times over the next 2 weeks and eventually they advised us they would order more feet in and exchange these. We then waited 7 WEEKS!!!! And we contacted them 5 times but no response or any feedback as to where these feet were! We finally complained to their head office who arranged for our sofa to be collected and they would refund us as they no longer have these feet!!! Our sofa has now been collected but despite numerous phone calls and emails to the company NOBODY has replied to advise us how to get our money back! So we are now in April, 6 MONTHS from ordering what we thought was our perfect sofa, we now have NO sofa and NO money to purchase another! I can't even begin to put into words the incompetent, disgraceful service we have received from this company, particularly the IPSWICH branch. I wish I had never set foot in furniture village and unfortunately it's not over yet!!!”

“Good salesman but unfortunately was let down with a faulty £4,400 order and very poor aftercare team, who's communication with us was non existent. Big let down”

“The salesman was very helpful but not pushy, and when we rang with a query about our order, he rang us straight back. We ordered a G Plan 3 piece, suite and a dining suite in the sale and the furniture arrived when expected. We had our last G Plan 3 piece suite 11 years ago from them, and are equally pleased with our new one, we hope it wears as well. (The last one was sold on at a charity store, still had life in it) The delivery men were very efficient, assembled the table and checked all was okay, instructed us how to use the expanding mechanism, and how to care for it. Our experience with them was good.”

“AVOID THIS COMPANY. I tested a sofa in the Orpington branch furniture village and ordered it. The new sofa arrived January 2017. On Day 2, I contacted Furniture village to express my concern about how the back part of the seat dips, meaning that their front of my legs were higher up the air than my bottom. Also that the recliner section raises up higher than your bottom which then creates cramps in your feet. This has happened on both the left and the right side of the sofa. There is also a gap appearing between the two large cushions, meaning the TV remote control can disappear! since the middle of January to mid March, I have exchanged around 20 emails with them. they keep refusing to refund my money and take away the sofa. they tried to hide behind the manufacturer G plan until I pointed out that it's their responsibility as the retailer to make this good. They are now hiding behind the position of wanting to send round an "independent" expert to view the sofa. I haven't accepted their "independent" expert visit because they cannot be independent if they are being paid for by furniture village. I have asked for my complaint to be escalated to the chief executive and I have even included him in the email responses and never had a reply from him. I have sent them photographs of the sofa to show them the problems with the furniture . they state that they cannot see any problem even though I have shown the pictures to my friends who are appalled at the state of "new" furniture . I want furniture village to take the away and to give me a full refund as the sofa is not fit for purpose and the fact is causing my back pain. Furthermore I am not able to order a new sofa until they take this one away”

“Cash purchase 2 x leather recliner sofas beginning of 2016. Now on third replacement since straight away declined and independently inspected and confirmed as poor quality and refused. i.e. bases not straight, backing out by inches, poor quality leather off wrinkled cow. Been waiting for over a year now and anticipated resolution as demanded full pdi (again) before delivery is going to be beginning of Feb 2017. Think company should be updating customers more. One letter per rubbish delivery not really customer care? But its the manufacturers letting Furniture Village down, not store or lovely delivery drivers, by clearly not quality checking before shipping to the UK? Wont ever pay cash up front again. MY first sofa was from Argos in the 80's and lasted 14 years. This poor quality rubbish wont. Very angry - but anger with the products. I reselected from the sherriden as different manu but that was crap too. Is it too much to expect quality when you spend £3,999.00. Perhaps I should have gone back to Argos??? Apologies if this first every review is too strong. Never had to complain before on the computer.”

“We purchased our suite from Ipswich, at that time we were very happy with both the suite and the high level customer experience. After 17 weeks (the agreed delivery time) and after not hearing anything from Furniture Village, we telephoned store to obtain a delivery date - they did't know but said they would get back to us - they didn't. We phoned again, and again (six times in all.) - it came across that they really couldn't be bothered as they had already secured the sale! Eventually, we were given a delivery date and further advised that we would receive a phone call on the day of delivery with an approximate time of delivery - we didn't. So we phoned the store again, and again (four times.) After some persistence on our part we were advised that we were the second delivery, but still but no time given, In the meantime I emailed the CEO and customer services but never revived a response from either. The suite final arrived at 3:00pm. I emailed to CEO again to express my dissatisfaction, and yes you have guessed it - no response. It's too soon to leave a review for suite - the review is only for the 'couldn't be bothered' customer service surrounding the delivery. Footnote: I emailed both the CEO and Customer Services with a draft of this review before posting - no response was received.”

“We purchased a double mattress on 4th Feb which finally arrived on 1st March. Having paid £20 for the service, the delivery men arrived 2 hours later than advised. Most importantly, the mattress arrived as a king size double as opposed to a standard 4ft 6inch which was what was requested. Having called the store 4 times with assurances that the sales consultant who sold us the mattress would get back, I have now been on the phone to the manager who is refusing to reorder the correct size and who says that if they took the king size mattress back we would have to pay 50% charge - which would be another £200 without them even ordering the correct size for us. We now have a new mattress stuck in our hallway without being able to use it and will have to now order a new bedstead certainly not from this store. On no occasion did the sales consultant reiterate that it was the king-size that he had ordered. I would never go into another Furniture Village and will be advising my friends and family to do the same - customer service is absolutely horrendous!”
