i hope every customer reads to the end then u wont have the hassle i have had. 2 years i have been waitin for my sofa from sofology, in that 2 years i’m now on sofa number 5. when i decided i wanted a new sofa i went into rotherham store and the sales staff couldn’t be anymore helpful there. i told them i lived in an upstairs flat with a large living room but needed a sofa that could be built up inside. That was no problem they said and showed me a few i could pick from. I picked a lanara leather sofa £3500 waited 3 months for it to come. i had my phone call to book the delivery and i said once again this will be took apart before it comes to me as that wont go up the stairs (4seater and 3 seater) i was told don’t worry yes it’s on the notes. I gets the knock at the door with the 4seater as a full sofa i told the driver u have no chance of getting that inside but he new best so he took all the wrapper off the leather sofa dragged it across the concrete n round the bricks of the door way and surprise surprise tore the leather. THIS HAPPENED ANOUTHER 3 times with the same kind of sofa. i then was told that kind of sofa was discontinued and would i like to pick a diff style. so once again i went into store told them where i lived and what was my options. cavalli is the next sofa i picked which was £1000 more. by this time i had the same person contact me regular who told me they was keeping an eye on my sofa and soon as it’s ready she would speak to me about delivery. Guess what the sofa came into the warehouse and every tom dick n harry rang for payment but kelly. i received an email tellin me sofa number 5 was taken apart and on the wagon but guess what it wasn’t and my £4500 sofa was taken apart outside in the rain on the concrete 😂😂😂 unbelievable oh to top it off one of the main sofa cushions is missing. Have they responded to me…… well what do u think. noooooo. I’ve now rang the finance company and the sofa can go back and i wont buy another useless company don’t work hard and waste your money here

Horrendous experience, don’t bother using this company. Useless customer service. On the arranged day of delivery we filled the app and tracked the van. All of a sudden the van appeared to be back at the depot. Numerous calls to the useless customer services, turned out the sofa wasn’t even on the van. Unbelievably this happened twice ! When sofa finally arrived after countless complaints, emails (which were never answered)and phone calls the quality of the sofa was shocking AND the wrong colour!!! I could go on, absolutely shocking.

Spent 3k. Lasted 2 years. Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid. Very poor quality sofa for the money. Lasted less than 27 months which seems ironic when they have a 24 month warranty. Not a cheaper one, paid over £3k for leather corner suite mid 2020. Delivered 17 July 2020 and looked great. For a while. After 2 years the cushions are so flat your backside hits the frame. The corner seat has sunk so much you have trouble getting out of it. Which would be funny if hadn't cost £3k for the giggles. Raised the issue with them and sent photos as requested. Got fobbed off with a lock and load reply saying we are out of warranty and try plumping the cushions! Can't even do that. The cushions are fixed via stitching to the frame so they didn't even acknowledge what sofa we had purchased. This is the our 4th sofa in 30 years, we look after our possessions and buy higher value items to get the longer life out of them. We had lots of years wear from other sofas and thought we would try sofology. Big mistake. Over priced poor quality products being sold on a sell and forget basis. Zero customer loyalty... Avoid them .. or buy the cheapest stuff they have and avoid the so called quality higher price stuff.

The showroom service is very good, the staff know the products. Sofology is let down by its aftercare service.....I received two faulty footstools, first one took 3 months to be replaced and the second is being ignored. The Fellini sofa is poor quality, the seats/foam has sunk and don't refill, and it's only been 9 months. Customer Service have sent a video on how to plump the seats! They will not help any further. Really disappointed with this product and this company

Absolutely shocking. Failed delivery waited in all day, for them not to show. Delivered 2 days late. And was the wrong colour. Waited 6 weeks. To deliver the wrong design. Spoke to Beth on customer services. To be told its my fault. I'd been into store and was sitting on the the sofa when she ordered it and I payed for it. The first order was correct design. But wrong colour. So how could I be to blame. I'm discussed in the way I was spoken too. SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE. HEADS UP SOFOLOGY IS DFS ASWELL

I have been waiting for sofology to complete my order from may to September. At this point I tried to cancel my order and get a full refund, I was offered a refund on the furniture that I hadn't received, I had asked for a refund from the day they first delivered part of my order. I was continually fobbed of with falls promises. I have had to take my case to the Ombudsman, we have wone or case, but getting our money bake, and returning the furniture is proving to not be easy. I definitely would not recommend this compony, I cant begin to tell you the stress this has caused.

Bought an expensive leather sofa and within the warranty period it is sagging/flattened in the centre. We have tried contacting Sofology, and despite on the phone initially agreeing that the flattening was unacceptable (based on photos we sent), they now are dragging this out and being evasive. We keep getting told that we need to go through a maintenance routine EVERY DAY to maintain the sofa and avoid flattening. We had been trying the “plumping” actions they recommend previously but without improvement. However they keep saying we should keep trying this. Totally unacceptable service and warranty support.

Gave measurements of room but still overmeasured one seat too many. Complained seat sinking when Sat on. Very disappointed with quality and aftercare. Spent over £7000 so expected better after care. Sent photos , they sent people to inspect my issues, the independant inspector told me with my height and imobilty issues meant the suit was not suitable for me. Somebody over 6ft. would've been better buying it. Why didn't staff take notice and advise me. I did contact complaint again but fell on deaf ears. I was told to stay out of room while suit was installed, when I saw the size I realized it was too big, even the fitters commented how little room size I had left. Sorriest suite I've ever bought and I've bought a few. Sales staff need more training and need to use common sense when dealing with customers. I give my purchase NO STARS. B

The cordelia leather sofa I purchased from sofology is not, repeat not of satisfactory quality, or indeed fit for the purposes specified and as described. Not once at purchase were we informed to dress and plump the seats never told to continually plump are seats. I also question why this sofa was returned and sold to me. This sofa should remain in good condition for a reasonable length of time without sagging, sinking or deterioration of the leather. This sofa is only a few months old and is sagging, sinking has no firmness at the centre, no support, is not comfortable and will deaerate fast. You State (Cushions filled with foam and Dacron fibre require a medium level of maintenance to keep them looking full, and feeling cosy. The layer of foam is super resilient, giving the cushions a firmness at the centre, with the Dacron wrap providing a pillow softness that results in an amazingly comfortable sit) I can state clearly to the above that we have to constantly maintain and it never looks full and never feels cosy, just old and tired. As for the super resilient foam which never gives us a cushion firm centre and we just continually plump the sinking seat cushions. You also state it's Supportive, it’s far from supportive it is sinking fast and quicker than the Titanic. You state filled with extra dense foam wrapped in soft Dacron fibre offer comfort you won’t want to leave. However, every time we leave it I have to plump it up and dress it. So I’m wondering where is the extra dense foam, and because it dense it doesn’t return to normal with no comfort or support. Even if we plumped and dress the sets on a regular basis they are still sinking in not holding their so-called supportive shape or firmness at the centre. The seats can’t be taken off and plumped up and are always looking flat, no support as described and what is worse is it’s no longer comfortable. I have watched your video online referencing Dacron fibre, I understand however are seats don’t come off to do this and never look good always sagging and you can grab a handful of leather, surely this can’t be, right? I request full refund as this sofa is not of acceptable quality, or indeed suitable for the purpose stated and as defined. This sofa should remain in good condition for a realistic length of time without sagging, sinking or deterioration of the leather. Please remember its two months old and sinking fast, you just can’t continue to plump it up and dress it every time you set on it. I have also requested your technician report. I have sent all pictures of the sinking sofa by email on 8/01//23 to Sophie M Priority Support Specialist Sofology. So thanks for your help in this matter.

After spending £5,300 on a Sofology ‘Cavali’ sofa recently in the New Malden store, I expected, as anyone would, to have a comfortable sofa to sit on in the evening, after a hard day’s work. Well, very regrettably, this sofa is anything but comfortable. In fact, I can honestly say, my IKEA sofa, costing one sixth of the price, is far superior with regard to design and the level of comfort offered. When one sits on this Cavali sofa, the seat cushion forces one to roll to the side of the cushion, into the gap between the next seat on the module. Because the base of the modular seats are not firm or all the sane level - the edges/sides of the piece are lower than the interior, one rolls to the lowest part of the seat, which of course is the side. With regards to the corner section of the sofa, the base is shocking and one dips into a hole when stretched out .. at the part when the two modules join, (because of the lower part at each side). This results in a hugely uncomfortable sofa, and every visitor I have had over Christmas agrees what a ridiculously uncomfortable sofa and questions why I have not returned it thus far. This sofa is quite frankly and very honestly the most uncomfortable sofa I have ever had the misfortune to buy. I have contacted Sofology about this. Initially they ignored my email with it’s attached photos. When I called them to follow up, they did not want to listen, they just repeated their standard lines again and again (which I’m sure they spend all day every day doing!) .. They spoke over me not listening to my explanation until eventually, I managed to persuade them to send a technician around to investigate. The technician came today … he agreed the sofa seat cushions sloped to one side when sitting on them and agreed one does slide off it when seated. He also agreed it was badly designed. He also said I should never have been offered the hard foam cushion option for this sofa as these sofas fare much better with the feather/soft filled cushions. However, he also told me that because he was sent by Sofology to check if there was any ‘technical’ fault with the sofa such as actual springs and structure, he must report back there is no technical issues with the structure itself and that it was not his job to report design faults, although he agreed there certainly is a design fault and also agreed the foam cushions although they cost extra, should not be offered/sold with this particular sofa. So now, I must wait for his report to be submitted and Sofology are due to advise me accordingly within 72 hours. I will of course update this review when I receive an update from them. I intend to take this matter to the highest level, and fight for my consumer rights. Far too often does this type of thing happen in the U.K. and forks are getting away with it as most consumers do not know their rights. After spending £5,300 on a sofa, I expect to be able to sit on a cushion of the sofa and not roll down into a dip in between the seats. It’s quite frankly disgusting. Thank God for my law degree and my legal background in consumer rights, I intend having some fun with this … and going all the way to the proverbial cleaners with this company ‘Sofology’.

Order Reference 2657873/4. This delivery experience has been bad from start to finish. My delivery was booked and due for 12th January (yesterday) and did not arrive between the confirmed delivery slot (14:05PM and 17:05PM). I had no update from Sofology advising that the delivery would not be made. I called customer service this morning (as customer service is only open until 5PM) for an update only to be told that I will have to wait 24hrs for an update when my sofa is scanned back into their system and THEN rebook the delivery (last delivery slot I had was 5 days from date of booking). I acted as instructed by Sofology not to remove my current furniture until the delivery was booked. I got rid of my sofa on Wednesday in time for the delivery that was meant to be on Thursday. I am now without any seating in my home until whenever it might be that my delivery is reorganised. I booked time off work to wait in, so this is yet another annoyance on top of everything else. I cannot believe that Sofology do not prioritise failed deliveries - awful service offering. In addition to the bad delivery experience, my order was actually placed in October 4-6 weeks delivery (meaning latest delivery date should have been 20th November) guaranteed before Christmas. It was then pushed back to 12th December because of foam issues. The 2 days before the order was due in their system the order was pushed back to January (for which I did receive some compensation). This is this the second sofa I have had off Sofolofy and is the second bad experience I have had. I wish I had never ordered from them again. The service has been terrible. I would not recommend Sofology to anyone.

Do not use sofology that would be my advice. I have was mis-sold sofa I had chosen. The after care team is a shame and would not do anything to rectify the missold item. All they would offer was for me to buy another sofa with a 30% discount and not taking the blame for there sales staff giving us us the wrong information I have now ended up with a ver expeneive sofa that is not fit for purpose. If you are going to buy from sofology then please remember they do not have a returns policy. They are thieves!!!

Honestly the worst service we’ve ever received. Firstly we ordered our sofa back in September when we bought our house and it was said it would be ready for the end of November which was fine. The day we were meant to receive our sofa we received a call to say we actually wouldn’t receive the sofa and that we were looking at a 6-8 week delay because there was no foam for the inside of the sofa. So we had no sofa for Christmas and couldn’t move into our house. Then we were told they have our sofa in at the end of December and we scheduled a delivery for New Year’s Eve. . When we sorted the finance we had to use our current address details but the lady made a note to deliver our sofa to our new address. New Year’s Eve comes and they send the sofa to our current address which is obviously no good to us and refuse to take it to our new address which is 5 mins around the corner. I call the shop an the manager tells me there’s nothing she can do until next week and the best she can do is give me a call. It’s honestly the worst service I’ve ever received and i wish we could go back and order the sofa with somebody else. The manager an the guy I spoke with on the phone were nice enough but this didn’t help my situation as I am still couch-less. The delivery driver wasn’t helpful either.

Worst customer service I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. I paid for 2x 2.5 seater sofas. On delivery day one was clearly a previously returned for repair but had not been repaired - it had no feet and bolts were missing (the delivery driver todl us this). I waited an hour on the phone to be told they couldn't do anything for 48hrs and someone would call me. Nobody did.. I called 2 more times and held on for an hour each time... then gave up. I emailed.. waited days for a pointless one line response that told me nothing.. So I emailed again with a bit of a rant as it was Christmas in a few days and where would my guests sit as we now have only 1 sofa?? I had paid them to take our old suite away. Got a call to arrange the redelivery. This turns up and then we realise that the first one is a 2 seater!!! The second one they delivered has scuffed and damaged feet, there is a ding on the side and still NOTHING!!! I've been phoning and emailing... eventually I spoke to someone who took details and pictures and said it would be dealt with now. Days later NOTHING! So I chase and I get an email saying they can't do anything without a batch ID, what is a batch ID?? I don't know? Again another email response with a pointless and completely unhelpful response. It is always days in between responses...SO I've have now said come and get your sofas including the one you have tried to pass off as a 2.5 seater. I want all my money refunded. I will but a suite from a reputable company which Sofology is NOT. DON'T BUY FROM THEM! Once they have your money you can't get anything from them. WORST and NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Am I frustrated and very annoyed? Yes you bet I am.

Purchased a sofa from Sofology in the beginning of October, was told it would be delivered in mid-November. By November then received a call saying it's been delayed to December. Finally received a call in December that my sofa has arrived and is ready for delivery. On the delivery date, 2 people showed up, I politely asked them if they can take off their shoes, they said no they are not allowed, which I understand for safety reason, so I asked if they can please wear the blue shoes covers, they said no they are "not allowed". I then asked them if they have something to cover my floor which has cream colour carpet, they said no they don't carry anything like that, and I should be the one who prepared the cover. I then offered them the clear film cover which movers used, they then suggested to me the best way is to wait for the next day when they have more drivers who will bring the covering for my floor. I asked multiple times "are yousure the sofa will be delivered the next day?", he promised me it definitely will be delivered the next day. Then they left. I then called the customer service and the person on the phone has informed me that the delivery person should not have promised that as they have no access to the delivery system and it was impossible to have the sofa delivered the next day. And since the sofa will need to return to the warehouse and be scanned again in order to arrange for the delivery, the customer service has asked me to wait for a day in order for the system to be updated and someone will call me the next day. The next day by noon there was still no update so I phoned the customer service again. Took me over 30min to get someone online, the customer service then checked the system and said it still not been updated in the system. And that he will phone and warehouse to check the status. He phoned me back and explained that the system is still not updated with my sofa being in the queue for delivery, so I'll need to wait. And promised to call me back as soon as system is updated. I said that's fine... unfortunately then by end of yesterday I still have no updated and no phone call. According to the warehouse manager, he has spoken to the delivery guy and the delivery guy said he never said the sofa would be delivered the next day! Not only he lied but now he has turned around and called me a liar! There were people working in my house that day and everyone heard the whole conversation with the delivery guy. Every time I spoke to the customer service team, they all were being very sympathetic and very helpful, however, they are unable to do anything except waiting for the depo to scan my sofa back into the system in order to make delivery arrangements. I have called everyday in the past 4 days and have sent 3 enquires/complaints on Sofology website already still has no reply. It's been a horrible experience with Sofology - sofa was 6 weeks delayed than was "scheduled", which I had waited patiently, the delivery team was not able to show any respect to the customer's property and tried to bully me into letting them walking into my house with their muddy wet boots on my carpet, was not prepared to cover their shoes or put any cover on my carpet, lied to me about the sofa will be delivered the next day, then turned around and call me a liar. Thanks to Sofoloy, now we have to spend Christmas all sitting on the floor. I would never again purchase anything from Sofology and will never recommend anyone to purchase from Sofoloy.
