Taking a chance on the Song armchair turned out to be a great decision. It's wonderfully comfortable, offers excellent support, and looks fantastic in our snug. The quality of the cushions and fabric is excellent.

Our sofa took a little longer than originally estimated, but the wait was absolutely worthwhile. The Otter large sofa is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully finished. The delivery team were professional and took great care during installation.

The mobile showroom service was a huge advantage for us. Being able to see fabrics and test the sofas at home made the decision much easier. We chose the Otter loveseat and it's been just as comfortable as we remembered from the visit.
I was slightly cautious before ordering…
I was slightly cautious before ordering because of things I'd read previously, but my experience was extremely positive. The communication was excellent throughout, and the Marnie three-seater arrived exactly when expected. It's beautifully made, comfortable, and feels worth every penny.
Lots of dishonest reviews
I had enormous difficulty getting money back for an undelivered chair but I did in the end after putting it in the hands of my lawyer. However my main concern is that someone is posting lots of 5 star reviews. They are all from people who have never written a review before. These are obviously dishonest and Trustpilot needs to investigate.

I recently bought a sofa and was impressed from the moment it arrived. The craftsmanship is excellent, the materials feel high quality, and it has a level of comfort that's hard to find. It genuinely feels like a handcrafted piece of furniture.

We purchased the Otter armchair for our bedroom and it has exceeded expectations. It's incredibly comfortable, looks fantastic in the space, and feels very well made. A great addition to the room.
Avoid them, they will not deliver!
Recently there has been an influx of positive reviews which is ironic seeing as my family have been waiting over 6 months to even hear back about our couch since we purchased/chased and were ghosted for the couch we paid for. These new reviews are interestingly very similar and contradictory to the many other negative experiences other reviewers and my own family have dealt with when purchasing from here. Across all the other lower rated reviews there is consistency in how this business operates. This company should be avoided at all costs unless you want to lose your money.
We've had our Song loveseat for several…
We've had our Song loveseat for several weeks now and couldn't be happier. It's comfortable, sturdy, and the linen fabric feels premium. The quality is evident throughout and it has quickly become our favourite seat in the house.
Using the travelling showroom was such…
Using the travelling showroom was such a worthwhile experience. Instead of guessing colours or comfort levels, we could see everything in our own home and take our time making a decision. We eventually chose the Otter Loveseat and it's lived up to every expectation. The whole buying process felt relaxed and personal.
I'd come across mixed comments before…
I'd come across mixed comments before ordering, so I took plenty of time to do my research. In the end, my own experience was very positive. Communication was prompt, the aftercare information was useful, and the Song chaise has proven to be a fantastic purchase. The quality of both the upholstery and the build has really impressed me.
Waiting longer than expected wasn't…
Waiting longer than expected wasn't ideal, but the extra couple of weeks didn't feel unreasonable considering the sofa was being made specifically for us. Our Marnie chaise has exceeded expectations with its supportive cushions, attractive detailing and solid construction. Communication was always helpful whenever we requested an update.
We weren't comfortable buying a corner…
We weren't comfortable buying a corner sofa without trying it first, so we arranged a home visit. The mobile showroom allowed us to compare different models, fabrics and cushion styles without any sales pressure. We chose the Otter corner sofa and it's been a fantastic addition to our living room. The craftsmanship feels exceptional and it's comfortably the most-used seat in the house.
DO NOT BUY! SCAM COMPANY
DO NOT GIVE SCAMMERS MONEY! Scam artists! Friend ordered her sofa from here. Not only did the sofa never turn up, the company withheld money and ignore all contact attempts. Their social media account restrict commenting or tagging, clearly to avoid all the scammed customers from calling them out. It’s a scam company and you will not receive anything you pay for. She had to go through bank to claim money as company are unreachable!!!

Got the armchair for my study and I’m really pleased with it. It’s solid and the quality feels proper. They sent fabric samples which helped a lot when choosing. Looks smart and is actually comfortable to sit in for hours.
We ordered the big corner sofa and it’s…
We ordered the big corner sofa and it’s honestly the most comfortable one we’ve ever had. The fabric feels really nice and it was made to measure so it fits our living room perfectly. Took about 12 weeks but they kept us updated and it was worth the wait.
Our estimated lead time was around…
Our estimated lead time was around sixteen weeks, although delivery ended up being closer to eighteen. While we were keen to receive it sooner, we understood that a made-to-order sofa can sometimes take a little longer. The finished Otter sofa is beautifully made, wonderfully comfortable and the delivery team were professional throughout.
I suspect they have gone bankrupt…
I suspect they have gone bankrupt again. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. they have over £6k for a sofa ordered in Jan 2026 and still no sign. they've stopped replying to emails.
what made them especially fraudulent is they took the 2nd half of payment claiming the item was ready for shipping in March. they must have known full well they were just pocketing the money before going under.
I think they have gone out of business…
I think they have gone out of business again as they have stopped responding to me .. please don’t give them any money I am literally only waiting for a set of cushions for a chair that I’ve paid a deposit for then nothing they even said they wouldn’t charge me the balance for the cushions as they have taken so long I now realise this was a joke on me because they were never going to come anyway, I’ll be honest I’m the idiot because I gave them some money again, I’ve had emails from directors, accounts apologising etc etc all of them obviously know they are lying it’s actually unbelievable. Honestly I’ve lost my money I can not be bothered to chase any more - they win !

Having spent a lot of money, we have been totally and utterly let down by this business - no sofa, no refund - save yourself the heartache - buy somewhere else -
