The benefits of buying local quality products and service

Eighteen months ago we bought an Alisia sofa bed from Smiths. From delivery we have been delighted with both the product and the service we received. Free two man expert delivery is an apt description and is invaluable when you live in one of the many three storey houses in Harrogate!
Recently the sofa bed was moved and a fixing was inadvertently damaged. It took just one call to Smiths and within a few days two expert delivery men, familiar with the construction of the sofa bed, were on site with their tools and fixed it.
Now that’s what we call service. Thank you Team Smith!

Ercol furniture

Paul Irvin was very helpful in clarifying and helping me place my order for Ercol sofas. I was pleased to hear from Paul that Smiths of Harrogate stock the whole range of Ercol furniture which is very difficult to see in my area. I hope to visit the store in the near future. Birthday wishes to Paul for his 60th later this year

A Great Experience

We have rarely had such a good, informative service when buying furniture. Christopher is a veritable expert and knows the products he is selling inside out. Although we had researched Himolla chairs, he informed us of options, of which we were unaware. As result, we have come away knowing that we have made the right choices. We're looking forward to seeing the chairs in our home.

Great store, great staff

The store has a great selection of furniture to choose from. It is easy to browse around all the furniture in the store.

The member of staff we dealt with for our purchases was Paul Irwin. He was knowledgeable, he listened to what we were looking for and provided great service.

I am happy to recommend this store and the service we received.

Superb service and professional knowledge

We cannot recommend Smiths of Harrogate highly enough. Christopher spent a huge amount of time with us explaining the range of riser / recliner chairs in the showroom. He fully understood our needs and was able to guide us to our final choice. His professional approach and technical knowledge of the product were much appreciated. At no point were we hurried to make a decision or pressurised to do so. A professional yet personal service throughout.

Excellent

From walking in the door to leaving I can only describe the experience as Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and nothing too much trouble.
The staff look after you very well indeed, very knowledgeable on products and a real pleasure to buy from. Smiths is certainly the retailer to go to, even if you have to travel for two hours to get there, it is worth it. A furniture shop selling all the top brands in a well lit, warm , welcoming showroom.

First class service

When I went in I was greeted by every member of staff I passed. Got up to the bed department and met frank who listened to me without interrupting. His knowledge and care was second to none. Most helpful with each question. Happy to have ordered a bed and could not fault the service or care. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent service, product, and delivery!

Excellent service, product, and delivery! We were met with friendly faces who were more than willing and ready to help us with our search for a chair to help my dad during a particularly difficult and sensitive time for our family.

Olly quickly mobilised his team (I believe it was John who helped us), and together they found us the perfect one that both suited our needs and looked exactly how we wanted to match our existing decor!

As our requirements meant we needed something quickly, and we were so so grateful to have the delivery within the week. It's also worth noting that the delivery people were a complete reflection of the care and excellence we experienced in the store, thank you!

We're now the proud owners of a new chair which not only provides a huge level of assistance, but also looks great in our home. We can't thank the team enough!

A Pleasure

It was a pleasure to deal with Paul Irwin during our recent visit. His knowledge and experience shone through in his advice and guidance. This is not a store we have dealt with before, but we are sure this purchase won't be our last with Smith's. Looking forward to our pending delivery. Thank you

Return to Smiths for a third purchase

What a pleasure to deal again with this company which adheres to old fashioned standards of quality and excellent customer service provided by a team of friendly and knowledgeable staff from the moment you step through the door. No pressurized selling or marketing techniques here, just personalised help and advice when needed until decisions about your purchase/s are reached, followed by clear post-sales communication. If only more companies and businesses could follow their example.

Brilliant customer service

Brilliant customer service! Friendly, helpful, nothing too much trouble, made buying my new furniture a total pleasure. Plus very well priced furniture and competitive. Thank you to Paul who responded to my very many messages and requests in such a friendly way. And for the assistance in getting it delivered! I am delighted to join the many customers from Smith’s of Harrogate!

Helpful friendly staff

Helpful, friendly staff, who approached us to see if we needed assistance, and then gave us time to browse the store, without feeling pressured. On hand when we needed clarification of colours and sizes and when we wanted to purchase something. Clean store, furniture well spaced for browsing. Quality furniture.
