First ever new sofa purchase and was so hassle free
Staff at scs shop were really helpful and friendly with the purchase.
On day of delivery I had chippy and Eddie deliver it. Really fast assembly, friendly guys who were careful of the house.
Sofas are exactly what we were after.
Great experience overall

The delivery team were good natured and did not shirk when knowing that the intended room was through the house and into an outbuilding 150 feet away. It was a tight squeeze but they managed it with a smile and without damage (apart from the odd finger). They were quick and efficient, conscious of doing a good job but also of getting to the next customer without unnecessary delay. Top marks from me.

First time making a purchase at SCS and would definitely recommend it for all your sofa needs. Excellent communication received as to where my order was, delivery day communication is even better with exact tracking available. Delivery drivers were extremely polite and helpful.
Can't praise them enough.

Personal service
We had an appointment with Paul at the Tollgate, Colchester store. He was attentive without being pushy. He was knowledgeable and helped pick the chair that was right for us.

Impressive in store service
I went in with my mum and nan last wednesday, Paul helped us and was really friendly yet professional. He priced up what I wanted but I couldn't make a decision as needed my husband with me. Paul was understanding and answered all my questions. When I went back saturday with my husband we dealt with Paul again and I will be recommending him and scs to anyone who asks where they should go. So far so good can not fault the service recieved in store.

One person was attending to all customer why a trainee was also there trying to support him even though she doesn't know what shes doing, we spent upto an hour there as a result of that and the price of the sofa we choose at the store is different from the price online, much cheaper online, anyway i paid the price online. lastly my car battery went flat as a result of me forgetting to switch off the inner light. none of the employee could help me jump start my car even my have got the kit. They finally offered to help after my friend arrived.

Reply from poltronesofà - Colchester
Good Morning Mr Apelua,
I hope you are well and thank you for your 2* Review.
I have tried calling you to discuss your concerns, sadly I was unable to speak with you, therefore I have taken this opportunity to reply to your review.
I am very sorry to read that our dedicated store staff where slow and helping you and that you were in the store for over an hour, we do hope that once you have selected your furniture the advisors are able to complete the sale as quickly as possible, unfortunately if the store is busy this can sometimes cause delays.
I have review the cost of your sofa and compared it to the price on our website for the Ferndale 2 corner 1 RHF Chaise and it is more expensive that the cost that you have been charged.
In regards to the staff being unable to assist you when your car battery went flat, they are not insured to do this in case any damaged is caused.
If we can help you any further please feel free in contact us on 0191 7313300
I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Kind Regards
Laura - ScS Social Media Team
