Christopher at Smiths of Harrogate

Christopher was helpful, informative, patient and understanding. He led us through the various options, gave advice when asked and judged when to leave us alone. We have tried 4 different companies in our search and that we made our purchase here says what we think. If you’re looking for a furniture shop- head for Smiths of Harrrogate

John really couldn’t have been more helpful..

John really couldn’t have been more helpful, we rearranged part of the showroom to ensure what we were interested in buying would fit comfortably into our lounge, he went through all the different options of all styles and materials answering all the questions we had, he also answered more questions that we hadn’t thought of. John and all the other staff were very friendly, we were given a coffee as we had travelled quite far. We did not feel rushed and there wasn’t any pressure to buy, it was well worth the journey and we feel we purchased the correct thing for us.

Amazing

Amazing. I returned to test out the chairs and was not disappointed by the professionalism from Graeme and the very kind older gentleman upstairs in flooring.
Although, I didn't purchase the Tetrad chair due to fact the leather was from Thailand, formerly known as Siam (from China)-- that invaded/plundered/looted (still) the Khmer people, I found Christopher's response superb to cultural issues and awareness to be beyond the average person. I am impressed by the affable staff here and am so happy to be introduced to the fantastic world of furniture made in England, starting with the Harrison Spinks mattress with Frank's guidance, which quality is absolutely superb after buying it from him a couple years ago.
I ended up purchasing a Tetrad chair somewhere else in England due to time constraints, with customized fabric of respectable source and had it air shipped to the USA-- the Tetrad Chair is HEAVENLY as the first time I sat on one like it at Smiths of Harrogate. Never knew how much I love English made furniture until now. Ta.

Mr Unsure

I rang up Smiths wanting details of a particular product. Whereby I was given a full rundown of product options, lead times, total cost including carriage.
Details of payment options were also made clear.
Being someone who isn't offay with buying items over the phone, I found dealing with Smiths of Harrowgate painless.

We came 150 miles to visit the showroom to see Himolla sofas and chairs and both agreed it was really useful to travel as the staff were so knowledgeable- it’s not just about style but the fitting for our dimensions! We had an extremely warm welcome with toilets hit and cold drinks and parking all on offer. So it is definitely worth coming up to Harrogate to get proper advice- quite superior to anything on offer in the southern area we live in.

Really good Sales service

The sales room had a large number of mattresses and bases which allowed me to do a good comparison. The salesman who assisted me with choosing my mattress and base was impressively well informed, listened carefully to my needs and gave me the information I needed without doing an over-hard sale and generally made the experience pleasant… I suppose the final proof will be when the bed and mattress are delivered.

Steve Dyson was extremely helpful

Steve Dyson was extremely helpful. He gave us all the information we required to decide which of the Himolla range best suited our needs for comfort and support. We were given all the time we needed to come to the right decision and at no time were we pressured into making up our minds.
It was the most pleasant shopping experience. There was a very comprehensive range from which to choose.
I would most certainly recommend Smiths of Harrogate to anyone looking for a professional company to deal with.

A really good customer experience

Have used Smiths previously to buy Tempur mattresses and have always received excellent service. This time was no different. From first contacting Frank Nickerson (Bedding Manager), then dealing with Scott (Transport Manager) and finally our mattress being delivered by Dan and Mark, the service was first class. Everyone we spoke to and dealt with were knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. The mattress was also competitively priced. Overall, a really good customer experience.

Excellent service from the first phone call.

Excellent service from the first phone call on my enquiry re bedroom furniture, Frank gave me all the details and sent photographs as I live 80 miles away.
I visited the showroom and decided to purchase the furniture the following day.
Graham was very helpful without being pushy just full of information.

They make you feel like a valued customer

They make you feel like a valued customer.After placing the order the follow up phone call is an excellent idea to confirm the item that you ordered was correct and offered a 20 percent deposit instead of the full amount paid.Good customer service.

Frank was amazing

Frank was amazing! Helpful, efficient and knowledgeable and spent time talking through different tilting bed options and mattresses to ensure we found the right one for my elderly mother who suffers with severe neck pain. Brilliant customer service.

A pleasure to deal with Smiths of…

A pleasure to deal with Smiths of Harrogate from start to finish no pushy sales person to deal with instead a friendly knowledgeable and happy to listen person to deal with as i had a few query’s regarding the Opera adjustable bed i was interested in purchasing so thanking you very much Frank you made the whole purchase a pleasure. I did make the correct choice with my Opera adjustable bed and it’s a real pleasure having an adjustable bed for my needs. The delivery team were friendly, polite and respectful of my home and got on with the erecting of my Opera adjustable bed easily with the knowledge they have so thanking them for that. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Smiths of Harrogate for any furniture needs especially Opera beds.
