Excellent customer service

As soon as we entered the store Tanya came to greet us and gave us directions for the lift as we had a pushchair. The whole process she was great and went smoothly! Tanya gave us lots of advice and tips. She offered us beverages all throughout our visit and was very helpful! We will definitely be back in the future.

We visited the Omagh store just to browse. Jeff was really helpful and able to answer any questions we had regarding the sofas we were looking at. He was able to talk us through how the delivery/ shipping process would happen as we aren't local to the area.
Overall a pleasant experience and we look forward to the delivery of our new sofas.
