Samples

Samples
I requested some leather samples & these arrived quickly & beautifully packed. There was also a letter giving information on the different types of leather & offering any further help I might require.

Absolutely would not recommend

Absolutely would not recommend. I have bought a sofa from the outlet section and was promised Christmas delivery. A week before Christmas I was informed that due to an admin error it would not arrive because their van was now booked. A few scatter cushions were offered as compensation for a poor Christmas with not enough seats for family. I have complained to the orders section and asked for the money related to scatter cushions to be reallocated to transport to meet the customer promises on the website and no reply. I complained to the sales department again by email and no reply. Shocking customer service from a company that seems unable to communicate either internally or to its customers

Reply from Authentic Furniture

Hi Lizzie,

I am sincerely sorry your sofa wasn’t delivered before Christmas however due to the time of year we were unable to guarantee pre-Christmas delivery - this was advised on our web site as follows “This item is available for delivery in December onwards. Due to this being our busiest time of year for deliveries, availability is dependant on your delivery location. Please contact us for more information.” This was also communicated on the confirmation email we sent you and on the email from Gareth in our sales team.

However the delivery was booked in for December 20th by our dispatch team as we had tried to ensure you received the sofa ASAP but unfortunately we were unable to complete the delivery as the sofa was not located at our dispatch warehouse. We are completely at fault for this for which I am sincerely sorry. We emailed you on December 18th to communicate this and offered two free scatter cushions as way of an apology.

We always strive to offer the best possible experience when making a purchase from us, this is supported by the many five-star reviews on both Facebook and here on our Trust Pilot page. Again I am very sorry that you have felt let down by Authentic and for the cancelled delivery.

We will contact you directly today to apologise further and look to confirm a new delivery date with you.

Kind regards,

Tim (owner)

My wife and I are delighted with our new sofa, it does look pretty good in our living room.

And may we also say a big thank you to Patrick and Dom the two delivery guys, excellent, it is always nice when someone takes pride in what they are doing, especially when meeting people with a smile.

My visit to Authentic - Birmingham

My visit to the shop in Birmingham was very good - Rachel helped with all my questions! I felt like Goldilocks, tried most sofas and stretched out on them too! I moved some cushions around, so I could feel the difference - coil sprung and serpentine, fibre or foam, but I have to say it was well worth the effort of driving from Swindon to try and see for myself! I've just purchased my sofa, St George, in Scuffed Saddle - Shammy, can't wait to receive it!! The staff are very friendly and I can assure you I asked questions, even called and talked to the "Boss" re the Scuffed Saddle Leather, very impressed with Authentic, it's a big purchase and would certainly recommend them! Thank you...
