Hello,

Im sorry but we cannot find you as a customer of ours.
Please be aware that we are NOT 'The Great Sofa Company' we are the 'Great British Sofa Company' and we do not sell through Debenhams.
I appreciate the likeness with the name but unfortunately you have left a review for the incorrect company. Please could you remove this?

Thank you.

Very poor service, customer relations poor, no refund

The sofa took weeks longer to come than the estimate. When it did arrive it was the wrong colour . Taking it up with GBSC they merely said they had put the wrong photo on website. No apology - it was collected and now, almost 3 months after I paid I have still not had a refund. I would not recommend at all

Absolutely appalling service

AVOID AVOID! Absolutely appalling service. Delivered 1 correct sofa (cream 2 seater) and 1 other right hand chaise in Navy, goodness knows who this belongs to. Furdeco advised me to take them and call Debenhams to get a replacement sent. 1 week later no resolution, cannot get hold of great british sofa company, Debenhams unhelpful and take days to respond with a chat bot answer. I'm left with a sofa I didn't order and once that I did. These companies are not worth dealing with, please shop elsewhere, I will not recommend. 1 week later and I have not been given any idea of when this will be sorted or been able to speak with anyone. Safe to say it loks like I've lost my money to GBSC however I have contacted the police for further investigation as this is wrong on so many accounts. Just beware of this company

The Sofa is great but unhappy with company Furdeco who delivered it. The first attempt the lorry broke down, the second attempt they were in and out so fast they didn't assemble it properly and I couldnt tell just by me sitting on it ,it wasn't until I tried to move it I realised they hadn't put it together properly. Needless to say they said I had signed for it so tough luck.

Quick delivery, good quality. Great customer service.

Very happy with my purchase from The Great British Sofa Company!
After we were poorly treated by staff at DFS when browsing for a new sofa, we decided to look elsewhere and am glad we did. We were able to apply for Snap Finance when purchasing which is always helpful! My phone glitched when making the £15 deposit so I called the GBSC who were very easy to talk to and helped me finish the application. They kept in good contact with me via text or email about my delivery and I received it within the 14 day time frame.
Sofa is lovely! Quick delivery! Great quality! Hopefully will last :)

Fantastic customer service!

Fantastic customer service from start to finish! Had an issue with my ordering my sofa and they couldn’t do more to help, had a slight issue before it was delivered and it was sorted within the hour! Was estimated 11 weeks for delivery and it came on week 3! My sofa is gorgeous and so well made, the low price is an incredible bonus.

We have not had any notification and from seeing this review we have instantly taken steps in place to replace the issue side (issue due to a knot in the frame as we use real wood). We hope our swift service has changed the view. Thank you
