“Marketing when it comes to promotion price is very misleading! The website currently is running double discount promotion, however there is no double dicounts. The price of the sofa is the same as it was a week ago and the only thing they are offering is £25 off your purchase, you spent £2000 on a corner sofa to get £25 off. What a joke and they spent so much money on marketing this promotion offer.”

“Free fitting is a lie. In store they told me I had to purchase the £8.99 underlay (Carpetright has the same deal but you only need a 7.99 underlay). I couldn’t get a fitter out to measure and quote me without paying a £100 deposit. They then charged me £81 for 9 extra square metres of underlay to what I needed. Carpet comes in specific widths so you will always have to buy extra but underlay is thinner so I did not need extra. They make you buy underlay according to the amount of carpet purchased rather than the area being carpeted. This is ludicrous.”

“told they could deliver booked the delivery. day of delivery no sofa. Phoned them and they said they did not deliver to that area from that store. My sofa has to go further south and then past me up north to come back south to me. 2 weeks was the guide 2 weeks later no sofa. The store manager advice get a van and collect it yourself even though they took the delivery fee.”

“Manufacturing fault on arm of sofa scs came out put a screw in and then we got them back out for them to spray glue on fault sofa leather looks 20yr old instead of 6month old got sick of ringing about sofa to ask for a replacement and getting the same old story you have to let us fix it so if you want to waste your money buy from scs and don’t expect any help once they’ve got your money poor customer service and engineers are no better”

“Only had are settee 6 months, paid extra money to have better foam in cushions only two months of buying cushion on cuddle couch very poor felt like I was sitting on springs, too be fair they sent engineer out and the first engineer stared telling me sorry s about foam in other people's houses and said if they gave me new cushion it would go the same way, I replied only had it 2 months and I'm only 13 stone.So I phoned scs complaint about engineer and they said we will send another from homeserve so new engineer came and was in my house for 5mins and said yes will get replacement. All good new cushion came with fabric on as well very pleased. Then last week had enough cushion went same way as the first one also arm on settee felt very flat which I only notice as I kept on having to pull my self up as cushion was so soft not firm ie remember we paid extra money too have firmer cushions. So phoned up and they said we will send another engineer out I asked if they could send the engineer I had second time.Engineer came and it was the first one he said scs only have one supplier they use for foam the other cushions on are two seater fine don't no why this one keeps going might be because it's bigger but surely they have skills to make the foam for this size feels like I'm banging my head against the wall. So then he opened couch up to look inside at the arm and two are amazement they used cardboard on the arms ,shocking so he wrote his report. Week later had letter saying sorry about issues and phone up to agree too engineer to come and repair fault, so I phoned and said yes I would agree and said will they be sending new cushion and she replied no ,so I said I'm not happy so I disagree with desion and now they have exculated. Wish I went to dfs as they have own factory. Scs buy there settees from different suppliers looks like mine is from China. The dispute still going on. I would be happy if they gave me £70 and I buy new foam .Not happy 🤔”

“I will never buy furniture from ScS again. The quality they deliver is lower than displayed in their stores. The delivery takes 6 to 8 weeks. They were rude when called to book the delivery, gave me only one day option and as I couldn't stay home on that day she told me they cannot store my furniture, will have to pay for storage and my sofa will be sent somewhere. When finally day booked they don't confirm by email, nor text. I'm completely disappointed and will never buy from them. Customer”

They are unwillingly refunding me the payment I made over TWO years ago Because they refuse to let me choose replacement carpet to the same value of the carpet I have down ! Recap. Two yrs ago . Waited in all day , carpet being fitted ,didnt come! Two weeks later fitted carpet . Few months later...HOLES , backing coming off . Year later, replacing carpet , show up, wrong colour. Weeks later for replacement carpet. Few months later all creased , and holes . Two years on I want a different make as I daren't have the same make . The won't deduct the cost of the carpet price as in store today. So have less off my carpet. I choose more expensive. Go home and organise cash to pay difference..sorted the same day . Only to receive a response ...this is how they respond. Refunding me the money I paid over TWO years ago . They won't replace like for like on price , only give me the same poor quality carpet. I'm out of pocket..and had TWO carpets down , both fell apart . They are REFUSING to supply me with a carpet fit for purpose.”
