“I would never buy another carpet from… I would never buy another carpet from this company !! I spent a huge amount of money with them , had the carpets down for 4 weeks and the carpet has mottled ..it looks like the carpet has been down for 4 years not 4 weeks !!! The company came out and looked at it , the surveyor said we were sold the wrong carpet ..this was shared with the customer services department whom have said theres no manufactors fault ... So if you want the " weared look" in 4 weeks of having them fitted then by all means go to SCS ..if like me you want you carpets to look new for sometime longer than 4 weeks, then stay well away ! Must just add there is only two of us who live in the property !!!! Never again will I buy from SCS until they can value their customers .. Absolutely shocking!!!!!”

“Bought a sofa in 2017 with 5 years cover. Last year one side of the sofa started to sink in. We contacted Scs Trafford and they gave us the number for a company called castilon. Absolutely useless, took ages to get back to us. We got in touch with Demi at Trafford and she gave us a number to call. The call handler apologised and said she would get someone to sort it out. Instead we got a letter saying we would have to pay! What was the point of telling us to take out 5 years cover? We tried getting in contact with Demi and got no reply. We tried contacting the showroom and no one answers the phone. £2500 down the drain, we'll never buy from here again or recommend them to anyone.”

“If i could award minus 4 stars for this company that would be not enough. They promised to deliver a vinyl floor on 4 occasions and never delivered. They never answer the phone and if it wasn't for the young lady Danielle in administration they would be minus 20 stars. The store Manager Stuart is a complete joke and is on the defensive as soon as you ask him for answers. Avoid this company at all costs”

“Horrendous quality. Shocking after care. Rip off warranty. Sold me (missold me more like) an Endurance range sofa saying it was like leather and as robust as real leather but turns out after 18 months that was a load of rubbish. The Endurance material is peeling and bubbling all over the place and looks like it's ready for the tip. It's not even heavily used and it's peeling. SCS won't even reply to my complaint I made to them so I'd steer well clear if I were you. Another piece of advice, don't trust anything they say about the sofa guard warranty. It's not worth the paper it's written on and they will fob you off with any excuse not to pay out. Waste of £200+ that you'd rather keep in your pocket. Go elsewhere if I were you.”

“Store in Hull - St Andrews Quay. Pushy staff, not at all impressed with the way you are followed around by the person who initially makes contact with you on entering the store. Everywhere we went he was literally right behind us. That was the first shop we went in and we didn't return as we were so put off by their in your face attitude. As we left, the store manager then stopped us to try and get us to buy something by offering us a special deal if we liked anything. Completely put off by all of this. None of the other stores on St Andrews Quay had staff who did this. We bought our sofas from Sofology instead - no pushy staff in their at all. A much better experience. Felt so pressurised in SCS today.”

“Initial purchase was easy as we knew what we wanted although the salesman was a little surprised by our speed but unfortunately he made some statements which later in the process proved to be more optimistic than the truth with regards delivery and disposal of old furniture. The delivery team (Gatkin and L. Mason) were excellent and most helpful”

“I was not informed that I was expected to pay £29.99 delivery? What delivery it went to the store, collected by fitters and fitted which I payed for on fitting. When I purchased the carpet I was not shown any figures but told that my quote would be emailed to me which never arrived until the guy came to measure then he emailed my order and total cost. I was told that the fitter would ring the night before to arrange what time the carpet would be fitted. No one rang until I rang in the morning and then the fitter rang me to arrange a time. Very poor customer service”

“Oldham branch Store manager a complete waste of time. Had an issue with them delivering the wrong size carpet - too small which was their fault So had to wait another week for new one, which meant another morning off work let alone the disruption moving furniture etc And to be offered £50 as a goodwill gesture I find insulting and when I asked if he could give me a contact number or email address so I could take this further he would only give me his branch email and told me to address it to him!!!!! Absolute joke Have sent a complaint to customer services at head office and not even had a response back from them, even phoned twice and promised that someone would give me a call Still waiting Would never use this company ever again”

“Do not buy anything from SCS. They ask you to sign to say you will receive the sofa within 7 days of it being ready then when they ring and say its ready they tell me I will have to wait for 2 and a half weeks. When I tried to complain to the store about it I was fobbed off for 5 days with no reply and when the Cheltenham store manager did eventually call me back he was completely rude and refused to help. The salesmen both lied about how quickly it could be delivered as the distribution centre has told me that the manager would have been aware that they only deliver to my area every 2 weeks and should not have asked if I could accept it as soon as the sofa was ready. Absolutely terrible service. All they want is to get your money and don't care about anything else. Avoid if you want a good experience”

“Be careful when ordering in store, they jump on you and follow you around. We made the mistake of taking our children with us, who were getting impatient which then made us rush with signing things. It wasn't until we got home and properly looked we realised they had added insurance at £200 and a cleaning product at £50. If i was ever to order again i would only do it online. Also when trying to ring up the next day to cancel the insurance they then kept saying there was no one in store who could cancel it for us.”

“I have NEVER received such horrific customer service in my entire life!! My shoddy sofa itself is bad enough, but you put your faith in the company that they will put things right for you, book an appt for an engineer to attend (having to wait 3 weeks for the first available date!)with a time slot of 12-5, today the day arrives....but sadly, your engineer doesnt!!! Even after my call to customer service at 4.15pm and them assuring me he would be with me next, the engineer himself called at 5pm and told me he had finished for the day, couldnt fit me in and the planners shouldnt have told me he would be attending as I was actually booked in at 5.30pm and he finishes at 5!!!😡 My husband took the day off work to be here, waited in all day, to then need to call to reschedule, be met by a point blank refusal to admit that your planning team made a mistake, and needing to now wait another 2 weeks for the rebooked appt!! I was told that your team wouldnt even entertain the idea of compensation for loss of earnings!! I have a corner sofa with a corner cushion that is so flat you are sat on wood, and an arm with the wood sticking into your side when you sit next to it!! Absolutely diabolical service to go with the diabolical sofa that I unfortunately paid over £1000 for (when it was half price might I add!!!!) I wont be recommending your company to anyone, or purchasing from you in the future, and am absolutely shocked that this level of service has occurred at all to be quite honest!!”

“Went in looking for sofas and carpet, the sales assistant Dylan, in the paisley branch was brilliant, I chose a sofa and was struggling to find a carpet which would go with the sofa and my existing furniture, he made it so easy, brought samples, and gave his recommendation, with the budget I had, needless to say I came away under budget with sofas and carpet.. brilliant”

“I purchased a sofa from your Kilmarnock store, the salesman, Norman Calder was excellent, making me feel at ease, giving me loads of information, I’m really happy that i went into your store, and my daughter who was with me also made a purchase, well done Norman, we’ll definitely buy from you again.”
