Great Service and Installation

Great service at the shop. Shown the full range of alternatives and prices. Very professional.

Delivery team exceptional! Bed and mattress installed in under 30 minutes. Great care taken in manoeuvring items up a returning staircase. Friendly and polite.

Recliner chair purchase

We have dealt with Gillies before and decided that if buying a top of the range recliner chair that Gillies would be a good choice. The process was rather longer than we were expecting but we probably were well advised in the options available.
The delivery team were exceptionally professional and delivered the chair with minimum fuss. Their explanation about the functions of the chair was first class

Want to mention Ethan at Gillies…

Want to mention Ethan at Gillies Broughty Ferry. What a wonderful young man, who helped us when we went in looking for a new sofa.
He was attentive without being pushy and had great knowledge of products and patience (as l take forever to decide on things)
We were so well looked after and made a decision and are delighted with our new sofa.
Ethan is without a doubt a lovely young man doing a great job in sales in Gillies.
Look out for him when you pop into the shop.

Excellent vinyl fitters.

The salesman was very helpful and communication on how to arrange fitting and payment was excellent. The fitters phoned to say they were ahead of schedule and could come earlier which was fantastic. They did an excellent job and were neat and tidy, I was really pleased with the result. However, they did have to take a cupboard door off and a joiner was to come and take some wood off the bottom of it and I have had to phone to ask when this will happen which is not so good, hence the 4⭐️rating as I have all the contents of the cupboard lying in my dining room.

Great customer service

The lady at the storage depot called to say my side table was ready to collect and asked if I would like it built up for me - I couldn’t be happier with them - great service
Thank you very much

Excellent service.

From first contact in the showroom to the delivery and fitting guys leaving, everything was first class. Carpet fitters on Monday, bed and bedroom furniture delivered on Wednesday, all workers a credit to the company.

From the first time I entered Gillies…

From the first time I entered Gillies to signing the paperwork, the staff were polite, friendly and professional. I have bought items on two separate occasions and Luke was a pleasure to discuss things with, knowledgeable, professional and know his stuff. The first purchase, staff kindly allowed me to see some individual items against a sofa combination by binging these together in the shop, very helpful. The second purchase was mainly bought from brochure and Luke worked hard to get info and picts for the pieces of interest which was very helpful. When I realised “what I liked” was not in budget, Luke very kindly talked through financing options and a deal was done. Although there are many options out there, I will always make an effort to visit Gillies for furniture shopping.
