Great store, terrible after sales support

I’ve used Smiths in the past and always had good, if somewhat expensive, experiences. However, my most recent interaction with them was deeply disappointing.

Following some building work, Smiths were hired to refit my carpet. Unfortunately, the experience was far below the standard I had previously come to expect. Only one fitter was sent, despite us being assured that two would be provided. Possibly as a result, the quality of the fitting was poor, with the carpet raised in some areas. Additionally, the skirting boards were damaged in several places where the fitter’s knife had cut into them. To make matters worse, the fitter was extremely rude when the damage was pointed out.

While Smiths admitted that the damage was unacceptable, their response fell short of expectations. They highlighted that they had stored the carpet and price-matched it when initially purchased, suggesting that they had made little profit from the job. As compensation, they offered to cover the cost of paint for me to repair the damage myself.

Given the overall experience, I had hoped for a far better resolution. Sadly, I cannot recommend Smiths based on this encounter and will not be using them again.

Hypnos wool origins 6 matrass

I have used Smiths of Harrogate before and always found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful.
It is refreshing to be able to discuss true advice and descriptive information about the product I have ordered.

First class service and good price

Second time that I have purchased furniture at Smiths. Chris was very helpful in explaining the difference between the various sofa's and we felt no time pressure, despite taking some time to decide on the final model. First class service and competitive price.

Exceptional salesmanship

Better price than I found anywhere else but what made the real difference was the outstandingly good customer service by 'phone. It was in a different league to that offered in other stores.

Great Customer Service

From first initiation by telephone with Smiths we felt we were dealing with a company who were knowledgeable about the furniture we were interested in. On visiting showroom the salesperson Christopher, spent a lot of time (and patience) informing us of details of furniture we were interested in which we found most helpful.

We were looking for a new matress

We were looking for a new matress. Smith's of Harrogate had an amazing choice that could have been overwhelming. However, the colleague who served us was very helpful and had good product knowledge. He was able to guide us through all of the options, that enabled us to make an informed choice. At no time did we feel pressurised and when we made our purchase, we felt that we had an excellent mattress at a fair price.

Search for extra firm mattress

We needed a mattress, I called the shop and spoke to Frank who gave me all the information I asked for and based on that went into the shop and bought a Harrison Spinks very firm mattress

Purchase of an Ercol table

I wanted to purchase a specific Ercol table.
From my first telephone enquiry to delivery of the table everyone at Smiths was knowledgeable, polite, professional and friendly.
I live quite a distance from Harrogate so could not visit the shop personally and had some apprehension about buying an expensive product over the 'phone. I need not have worried.
