Ordered a wardrobe and 5 drawer narrow 48cm chest from web in June 2020. Delivered correct wardrobe in October but chest was twice the width as stated on description so sent back to depot on same day. Told that the correct chest was being reordered and that should be delivered by Xmas. Then told company in Germany had sent wrong item again. Eventually told that details were wrong on web and the chest was not available. To resolve situation I agreed to two 3drawer chests instead! Currently I am still waiting for delivery. DFS apparently are meant to be calling me today. Just told that they no longer deal with supplier so will not be fulfilling order so I have told them I want a full refund and they can the wardrobe away.

Before buying your leather sofa from dfs make sure it's all leather we paid a small fortune. To my amazement it's only 30% leather 1 year later all the cheap pvc is cracking when I spoke to dfs they didn't care the 15 years guarantee is a joke never buy from these sharks.

Mattress was 3 years old when I told DFS it had spilt at the seam ( see photo ). No interest in helping to have the problem rectified as they say the warranty was a mere 2 years only ! How long would you expect a domestic mattress to last ?

I ordered a wardrobe from dfs and to say this was a shambles is an understatement. They delivered the wrong size wardrobe and wouldn't swap it for me unless I paid £160 even though I had a valid receipt and the goods were not opened and in the original packaging. I went I to store to resolve the issues and was branded a liar by store staff because apparently i had given the wrong sizes. I will never ever use them again. I advise all people who are thinking of shopping there to think again. If i could give them minus stars i would.

Shambles. Only use DFS is you would like the following. 1) Waiting 4 months for the correct items to be delivered to your house (and i'm estimating at 4 months as it hasn't arrived, so could be longer!) 2) MANAGERS of a DFS store not amending your order from a larger seat to a smaller chair, a couple of days after the order was placed, so he can capitalise on his higher commission, hence leading to a massive delay in you getting the correct items. 3) Same manager not returning your calls on at least 7 different occasions. One of which you were told, "he is on a call but knows you are calling in so he will call you as soon as he hangs up. Should be 15 mins tops". I called them back 3 hours later when i heard nothing out of fear that something had happened to him. It had. He went for lunch. 4) No communication or updates regarding your delivery. The original delivery was due to be in my house on the 11th Dec. No show. called in and told it would be the 17th Dec. No show. Called in and told it would be the 22nd Dec. No use, I'm not here over Christmas, as explained when the sofas were purchased, deliver the 4th Jan please.Wrong items delivered. See above regarding greedy commission. Now today after being told the correct items would be delivered this week, i'm told it will be middle of March. Shambles.

DFS STOCKPORT. The worst customer service I've ever experienced. Salesman, Nicky makes his sales and then refuses accountability afterwards. Spoke to numerous managers, complaints managers. Still nothing has been done. Had to sit on a poor quality sofa for over 4 months. Contacting the furniture ombudsman on Monday. Do not buy from this store.

I bought the globe sofa in May in charcoal, by August it had gone really bobbly. DFS sent someone out and said nothing was wrong and it was just wear and tear. I complained again, they sent another person out who left me a bobble off machine, after 2 months he expects me to waste my time doing this every few months, absolutely disgraceful. They wont do anything else for me after only having the sofa for 6 months. Their customer service department is awful and complaints procedure non existent. I will never buy a sofa from DFS again, under no circumstance by the GLOBE SOFA IN CHARCOAL, it looks about 5 years old after 2 months. Why use such a unpractical material that goes bobbly on something that is used in a home more than most things. Extremely frustrated and let down by DFS. 1 star is being kind.

I’m fuming.🤬bought a new three seater and 2 seater from DFS before Christmas (delivered 11/12). They’re recliners and nothing lines up. The seams on the front of the seats are off by an inch and the backs sit one forward one back. The tops of the backs are uneven too. The 3 seater also arrived with 2 dirty marks and the delivery guy wrote a report on the delivery form saying someone would come out and look at it. Because there was such a big gap between the seats the delivery guy checked he’d put the sofas together properly and when I pointed out that they didn’t line up he said we should report that too when someone came out. After hearing nothing we contacted DFS after new year and we’re told nothing had been reported, but they’d get the rugby manager to come out. An upholsterer came out. He said he couldn’t line the suite up how we would like and if we got another one it would be the same. He said it was usual with recliners and I told him this was our 6th Set of recliners and we’d never had anything this bad before. We then got a call from the Coventry manager Who also told us that these sofas wouldn’t line up because of the type of recliners they were, then a visit from the Rugby manager who told us the discrepancies were normal for recliners and within the normal parameters. He took photos and went back to discuss with the area manager. Just had a call to say they’re doing nothing about it and the unevenness Is acceptable. I said if I had been told at time of ordering to expect uneven furniture I wouldn’t have ordered it and as we paid cash I can’t even stop payments. I’m not happy at all and will be speaking to the office of fair trading in hope that they can get something done. I’d advise people not to buy from them if this is the service they offer.😡

Bought top of the range italian calf leather sofas cost 4k, within 2 years the seats had sagged , DFS said they couldent get a replacement and sent somone out to put new foam in , 6 month later worse than ever . the leathers paper thin and started to produce small tears Poor quality product which ahs just left me felt ripped off . forget their guarantees and sales pitches once they have your money they really dont give a stuff. Beware!

Disappointed, DFS is basically an army of salesmen/women trying to sell you pretty much anything but then once you receive your furniture, the customer helpline is pretty much nonexistent. We bought a sofa in their shop back in March 2019,and upon reception on may 2019, the delivery man told us a part from the sofa was missing. 7 months later and after we came back physically to the shop twice and send emails complaints, the missing part was never sent...and or our emails were ignored. On another note, we asked DFS the Guardsmen protection on our sofa, but looking at how one of the cushion looks today while just doing normal use, we wonder if that has ever been applied. We now have to buy another sofa for the house (sofa bed this time), and we will definitely not consider a DFS sofa. Thanks

Basildon dfs! Very bad customer service, we bought 4 dining chairs, should be delivered 5of December, or around. We didn't get 5of December, so I wait for a week more, no delivery, no call, and tracker still showing 5of December, so I call ask where is my chairs, they said they dont know, but they spoke with supplier, and supplier will contact me for delivery. I wait for one more week, no delivery, no call, no emails, nothing. So I call again, they said they dont know what is going on, they will contact supplier and they will let me know, so I wait one more week, dfs didn't contact me. So I went in the shop to ask what is going with my order. So one guy check for me and told me company where is my chairs is closed till 2nd of January, his will set call back when they will open. So we wait again... 2nd of january that guy call me to let me know company is closed till 6 of january.... and they promise delivery for free. Finally they left me a voice message, and they said may order will be in the shop 9 of January, and I need come and pick it up. I was so angry I call them back, explain all situation, and that they promise delivery for free, women on the phone said she didn't know, she said she will fix it. So 9 of december I got a voice message again, and they said your order is in the shop, you can come and collect. I was so upset with this company, I didn't bother call them back, we just went in the shop to pick our chairs. Plus we order on November because they promise delivery before Christmas, and I got all my family for Chtistmas dinner. So you can guess where we was sitting... Very very big disappointment....

Sales staff in Basildon lied to us and after sales service is non existent. Bought one of most expensive sofas and manager just fobbed me off. Pot luck if you get good service but no way of getting any after sales support they just don't care.

The sofa is so uncomfortable, got told it’s because it’s not directly in front of my tv, will never buy from them again because if we’d of known out sofas were made in China not the uk, they are really poorly made, save your money and buy a camping chair

Why am I shocked at the amount of bad reviews DFS IE is given on various sites? Why have they been allowed to get away with treating customers so badly for so long? Today was my turn to be on the receiving end of the distain that DFS shows towards its customers. I am disabled a fact that DFS were made aware of yet today I am deeply distressed to be informed by DFS that I am expected to daily remove all cushion covers and reposition the filling material inside. This is something that I cannot physically do nor should anyone be expected to do on two month old sofas. This is the first time that any retailer has made me feel worthless and disregarded knowing that because of my disabilities I would be unable to carry out the daily instructions I was told to do. I specifically chose fixed back cushions as I need support but instead I’ve suffered increased pain sitting on sofas that are poorly made and that are not at all supporting. The sofas are not as described and are not fit for purpose. I want a full refund which is not unreasonable. DFS will be held accountable for their unacceptable treatment towards me as I refuse to be discriminated against by anyone. They have left me feeling humiliated, worthless and deeply upset.

an update on an earlier review- despite being assured by 3 different people on 3 different occasions that the part required to repair my sofa (which hasn't been right since it was delivered)would be instore the end of November we have heard nothing.Not even a courtesy call to explain why.Customer service an absolute disgrace.E mails to head office make no difference.think twice before giving them your custom
