“Terrible service. Came to measure for a hall/stair carpet then when it came to fitting, they had got the measurements wrong. Took ages to get a correctly sized piece for the hall and the whole thing was fitted badly. Treated with disdain when we asked for remedial work and are still waiting for the fitter to call back. Based on his previous dreadful work, we don't want him. Avoid at all costs.”

“Disgusting aftersales sevice, over 1 year trying to get satifaction from them, (seats on settee assembled 30mm out of line from new) quality and guarantee means nothing to anyone there, even CEO not interested. After 1 year the left hand settee arm literally fell off, with their nasty unhelfull attitude I was too afraid to contact them and paid for a local repairer to sort it out, the retaining bolts holding the arm on had not been fitted, don't know how it held on so long, (see picture attached) I implore potential customers to read reviews before considering purchasing from this Company”

“Absolutely awful experience, Carpet fitter had the wrong parts and has not come back to rectify the problem. Claims he had put a note through.I work from home so this old excuse of I knocked on simply does not work anymore. No note. It’s been a month. Called SCS on multiple occasions who just apologise and do nothing about it. Absolute joke . Do not use this service.”

“Absolutely awful service. I cannot advise enough not to purchase carpet through SCS. We placed an order in store and we explained we were moving to a new house. The Sales Exec advised us to place an order straight away based on floor plans as there was a delay in carpet production. He also offered us a discount if we did the deal there and then. 6 months later our carpet arrives and all the sizing is wrong. Instead of handling my complaint with an ounce of customer service, I was told I made the order at my own rush based on floor plans and wished me luck in raising this complaint any further. I now have £1,000s worth of carpets that do not fit and have joins because we cannot afford to buy it again. They are the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with and would recommend going anywhere but SCS.”

“Everything! From the start trouble with delivering, finally received then after 3 months the paint started pealing and stitching coming away! The fact that it is bonded leather and NOT REAL LEATHER! Got a technician out to be told “I’m sitting on it too much, and kicking it” I kid you not!!! I took them to court and won!!!! All made in China now very poor quality even the lazy boy range, they will lie to your face blatantly I’ve NEVER had to deal with a shop so bad in my life look on fb at SCS complaints they owe thousands to people AVOID AVOID AVOID”

Get a grip just avoid at all costs, I'm at my wits end! Sat on garden furniture for months! Shocking horrible experience no support! Nothing just a heap of lies and failings on the part of scs! I STILL HAVE NO REFUND!!!! NO REFUND!!! STILL HAVE NO REFUND!!!”

“So much rubbish came out of the salespersons mouth. Insurance isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. He said you’re covered for everything, in fact we are covered for nothing. Over priced rubbish furniture. Paid extra for better cushions, waste of money, furniture creaks, out of shape cushions, might as well be sitting on the floor. Go somewhere else do not buy this rubbish.”

“Ordered a footstool to go with the suite in December 2021. Delivery date keeps being changed - latest now arriving at distribution centre 14/3/22. Goodness knows when delivery date will be. I opened a chat online but when I was about to submit my query a message appeared that the operator named SAM had left the chat! Very unprofessional and very poor customer service.”

“Avoid at all costs. They were brilliant in their shop whilst taking my order and money for a few thousand pounds., But as soon as I had problems after that, they weren't in the slightest bit interested. Just getting pushed from pillar to post and they never do anything. Months of repeatedly contacting them and no further forward. Their customer service is non existent. SCS have proven to me that they produce shoddy sofas and when there is a fault they refuse to except it and refuse to fix the problem. I've been in contact with SCS trying to get them to repair a dicoloured sofa. I bought it as leather but when cleaned with the products scs provided the dye comes off the surface leaving a patchy mess. I may as well of paid for a plastic suite. All I want is a suite fit for purpose which i can be proud of and you can sit on without the brown dye coming away, even their insurance assor agreed with me. On evaluation it's a waste of my hard earned money as NHS front line staff.”

“6 months in with our new settee cushions going out of shape to the point they're uncomfortable, even after flipping them over. Had an inspector round and he even said they weren't right and agreed with us we opted for the cushion as apposed to foam as it was comfier and we've had settees in the passed that lasted alot longer than this cheap rubbish they've used. Anyway after the inspector finished and agreed with us and even said someone should be out to replace affected cushions the head office emailed saying it's down to 'normal wear' and not willing to do anything for us I won't be using scs again should of read the reviews of this rubbish company before hand but thanks for letting me know what a rubbish company you really are and customer satisfaction is something you don't care about”

“where to start .....disaster from the beginning...wrong name email address wrong, at point of sale. Delivery was a disaster, was supposed to receive it all together. Did not receive part of order until 96 hours later bang goes the 72 hour deadline. Laminate flooring not good quality two boxes were damaged.(more than likely when deliver man dropped them coming out the van). also the door ramp profiles facias are fablon. laminate easily chipped and scratched.I will not get 18 years out of this flooring.thats for sure. big disappointment. I am awaiting my sofa which to be honest I am dreading.”
