Finally found a sofa that fit through my stairs and I like

Very pleased with my sofa and the service provided.
The sofa is very comfortable and looks great.
The Raft team were also hugely helpful. I have a very tight staircase so struggled to find a sofa that would go up, but the Raft team did an assessment of the property before it was ordered and the delivery was hassle free.
The service in store was also very personal and a great experience.

Second purchase

We went back to Raft Furniture because we were impressed with the quality of the dining table we had bought from them years ago. The staff at Westfield White City are always friendly and patient. This time we bought a bed. The delivery and assembly were as expected and we are very happy with our purchase again!

We recently ordered a table and chairs from Raft Westfield Branch, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Delivery took a bit longer than expected, but it was absolutely worth the wait — the craftsmanship and quality are outstanding. The whole family loves how the pieces look in our home; they’re beautiful and clearly built to last.

The delivery team deserves a special mention too — professional, courteous, and careful with everything. Would happily order from Raft again!

Table scratched

The sales person has sold us a table. It has scratches and now he and customer service have ignored our emails for a resolution for the last two months.

This was such an expensive table. This is madness how they can just leave you without a response.

they have been responding now - arranging for a date to fix - will update rating if this gets resolved.

Hello,

I've looked into this for you and you're absolutely right to feel frustrated. A handover within our customer service team meant that while a process was happening behind the scenes to resolve your issue, you were not kept informed and that is not good enough. Please accept our apologies for this oversight.

Thank you for your understanding and allowing us to resolve this issue for you.

Kind regards,
Niamh

Top experience at Raft Westfield London

We had a fantastic experience at the Raft Westfield store. Robert took the time to walk us around and explain the features and differences between the various sofas, which made choosing much easier. Eric was incredibly helpful throughout the purchase and delivery process, giving us confidence that we'd chosen the right sofa size and delivery option for our home. Fabiane also gave us great advice on styling the sofa with cushions, which was a lovely finishing touch.

The whole team was patient, welcoming and never made us feel rushed. They were also so accommodating of our child, happily letting her play with the cushions while we made our decision. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Sofa was also ready for delivery earlier than anticipated! I'd highly recommend Raft!

Prompt delivery but no removal of packaging

I was called just before delivery which was very helpful, however in store I was told that it would be a white glove delivery and that they would unpack and take away the packaging. My brother accepted delivery but no packaging was taken, I would normally rate a bit higher as everything else was good, however having just moved and literally just cleared the mountain of boxes I had, it was a bit disheartening to have another pile to have to take to the refuse center .

Hello Paige,

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I've looked into this for you and chatted to the relevant members of the team.

Our Head of Delivery was actually present for this and wants to apologise for the misunderstanding.

As your brother took the delivery, our team understood him to be a flat mate and recognised that a move-in was underway. For this reason, they left the mirror and your other item in its packaging to prevent damage . However, they should have clarified before making this assumption and will absolutely do so moving forward.

I hope you loved your products and we're sorry that we did not fulfil a white glove delivery on this occasion. We hope to see you again in the future.

Best wishes,
Niamh

Another Purchase from Raft NW2

I have made a number of purchases over the last few years. The furniture is excellent quality and really well designed. For me personally I like a combination of Natural Classic with a Contemporary twist so Raft is always on my shopping list.

This time Abasin helped me in the showroom and with all of the final logistics, he was professional to a Tee!

High quality service and product

We bought a sofa from Raft. The whole experience was straight-forward and stress-free. Everything was clearly explained and there was no confusion about timescales. Tony was a pleasure to deal for the sale and the delivery team were on time, efficient, and careful with unpacking. We would definitely consider buying from Raft in the future.

The price is amazing for the quality of the products. I was looking for a new sofa for a couple of years and then the holy grail ended. I will not buy from anyone else now and the customer service is beyond superb. Don’t hesitate.. go have a look and be captured by quality/ price and customer service
