“Hade a suite 4 years but i live on my own and work long hours so i barely sit on it. After weeks the arm was creaking so someone came out to repair it and blamed me for sitting on it! I hadnt then weeks later the arm on the other sofa was creaking they came to fix it and said it was a change in temperature of the room!!! Now the material is fraying away from the seam on two cusions was told it is wear and tear even though an uppilsterer told me it is faulty material! Dont ever buy from scs they want your money for badly made furnature!”

“We ordered a £2000 table and chairs in February 2022. At the time we were told the set would arrive in April. April came and went with no contact from them so we queried it. Mid May we received an email to say great news, it was in the warehouse and we would receive a call within the next three days to arrange delivery. 48 hours later we received another call to say there had been a few issues and now the table and chairs won't be delivered until the end of August/start of September. We contacted customer services to query and essentially they'd messed up someone else's order so they gave them our table and chairs! Mid August we called again for an update and were told that the table and chairs would 100% be in the warehouse ready for distribution on 24th August. It's now the 27th August and we've heard nothing so we've called for further information. We've been told that it's not arrived in their warehouse and they'll send an email to query but they expect to get a response within the next 7 days! They've offered us £150 off the price of the goods! We're spending £2000 on a table and chairs, do you think we care about the money?! No! All we want is our table and chairs! Where are they SCS?!”

“I paid for Aftercare, I was assured that anything that went wrong would be covered. 2 years after I purchased in full for my sofa and the aftercare service I had an issue my sofa sits in full sun when they had to replace a cushion due to the sofa not being built correctly and damaging the sofa and a cushion the rest of of the cushion and sofa are now a different colour and the new cushion is nearly double the thickness of the rest so I cannot use it. I'm not kidding it's nearly double the thickness and 6 times the wrong colour shade I have issues with my back and I am partially disabled so for me to sit on this new cushion it's like my back is breaking. I certainly won't me using this company again and I would like my money back from the so called aftercare. What a joke!”

“Really upset with SCS we bought Lino that was sold to us as suitable for kitchen and dining room. Great service as we purchased. Fitters came in and fitted poor fitting in certain areas but we didn’t complain at this point but when after being down for 8 months the floor started to lift in areas. Called and scs appeared to care. Sent someone to take photos who “blamed fitters” and asked for fitters to rectify. Took several more calls (initiated by ourselves) eventually sent out fitters who I gave to say I have never come across such rude scruffy and unprofessional people. They took a couple of photos and said “not our fault” now escalated to manager who without looking at the floor had taken the unprofessional fitters work that the floor is lifting due to table and chairs being on the floor???? Wait a minute is that not what a floor is for? Funrnture on it? This was sold to us as the perfect flooring for a kitchen and dining room? Can I ask what normally goes in a dining room? I am escalating this to tracing standards I have never had such terrible aftercare. SCS you should hang your head in shame this is disgraceful treatment of customers!”

“WARNING do not buy from ScS. Please for your own sake do not waste your money buying furniture from these people. I foolishly bought the Lucca, it lasted 2 years before the cushions collapsed and the colour came off.”

“I am absolutely disgusted with the way this company runs. And the qaulity of there goods. We got sent a suite which was damaged in transit. So was stuck with it until new suite was ordered. Then the replacement came. What a bag of poo it is. Trying to stay polite. Stitching all wrong and crooked. Material all loose and baggy. Insufficient stuffing. Poor qaulity material. This is an inferior replacement to an identical suite that was returned. Upholster came out. And agreed. Structurally was sound. But material wasn't stretched. Stuffing insufficient. Stitching not smoth etc etc. So we waiting for scs. One week. Nothing. So I rung and emailed. Would deal with it as a matter of urgency. There technician was reading the report. 2 weeks later nothing. So i ring again. Only to be told . Yeah we made a decision. Forgot to tell you. We not doing anything. The suite is adequate. Go away. No point appealing we won't change our mind. Absolutely shocking company. I will never return. And encourage everyone else to avoid these cowboys.”

“The most disgusting company ever selling the worst quality sofas and will not take responsibility at all. Rip off company, stay well clear from this crooks. I couldn’t rate them worse enough. They shouldn’t be legally allowed to operate as a business.”

“Had 2 suites from them in 6 years and both have delaminated. Advised by staff when it happened the first time that they had been aware of the fault but this had now been rectified. Agreed to have second suite and surprise surprise, same thing happens. I would never purchase from SCS again.”

“Bought endurance 3 seater sofa and chair. Waited nearly 7 months since order. Told it would take 3 months. They are made and come from Asia. Shipping and brexit to blame. The sofa sinks and a gap at the back. Told this is the design and allow 20% for with using it. This is Endurance myste which looked attractive in shop. Wish I had ferreted a British made suite. SCS need to buy British made.”

“Pity you can't put no stars on the review. I have had my delivery date for two sofas put back four times, It is now over 4 months since I ordered them. I tried to cancel the order but was told that I would have to pay a penalty of £600 if I did. Shame you can't make them pay a penalty for every time they put the date back. Would never shop with them again and would discourage anyone else doing so. SCS, do the world a favour and shut up shop.”

“We purchased a leather sofa from SCS. After 5 years the leather started to peel off, very slight at first and now there are big patches missing all over the sofa. We went into SCS and explained the problem and they explained there was a manufacturing issue with the sofa we purchased, due to the leather laminating process, the leather was peeling off hence they pulled the product. I asked how long they would cover such an issue and was advised that a problem like this would always be covered. However, upon contacting their customer service, they explained the warranty had passed and they would not do anything further. I was amazed at such behavior when they knew they were selling defective products. So obviously SCS will never have our custom again and I hope this feedback saves a few others from this terrible product backed by a terrible service.”

“Avoid this company at all costs!! We’ve had to have Homeserve out twice to fix our sofas because the framework collapsed on our 3 seater AND our 2 seater! Cushions all frayed after a few months too! These sofas weren’t cheap and they have been rushed by cowboys! AVOID!!”

“If I could give 0 stars i would. After 4.5 months of waiting, the table and chairs arrive. I paid for the tables and chairs to be built, boxes to be disposed but delivery men left the items and disappeared. Called scs and told them was expecting it to be fitted to which the rude woman said they don’t have time and would need to come back another time. Excuse me, we just waited so long for this to arrive, and also took time off work to be here and without prior notice, get told they don’t have time to fit and would need to come back another time of accept £160 refund and we would need to fit it. It’s not about the money here, i just wanted the service i paid for. I don't have space to store these items and asked them to take the stuff back and bring it back when they are ready to fit to she said no. The Rude woman (i hope call was recorded) kept going in circles and supposedly no management in, they had all gone home at 4:45pm. NEVER BUY FROM THIS PLACE!!! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! The quality of the products is poor from SCS. My table and chairs had to be bought from here as i was using the insurance cover from the original table. Bought 8 chairs from them 4 years ago (the remini grey Ons) all split at the same place. Rubbish quality. AVOID. The rude woman should not also be employed if that’s her attitude.”
