“Absolutely disappointing service my mother in-law who's disabled paid nearly £2000 for the sofa she loved. ...And to be told it would fit in her flat because the sofa comes apart but unfortunately only the 3 seater comes apart the 2 seater doesn't and guess what doesn't fit through the door yes that's right the 2 seater ... and now there saying she as 2 pay £200 for someone to rebuild the 2 seater in her flat.. they even tryed 2 make her pay £75 again for them to deliver it again. so watch you don't get MUGGED off by SCS cause a refund is not a option. ..”

“Ordered our carpet and organised a date where both my husband and I took the time off work to empty the house of all our furniture and carpet. The whole flat was going to be 're carpeted in 2 days over 2 weeks on the Wednesday.the first Wednesday was cancelled last min as they had double booked us in so they said they were sure to be here week after which meant a 3rd unpaid day to be organised. My husband and I were up till 2am painting so it would be dry for the next morning for when it would arrived.woke up early to move all furniture out of the liunge and becroom obstructing our kichen,toilet and daughters room( lots of very hesvy equipment with running machines ect) when all was cleared we waited patiently for the carpet to arrive.hours went buy so we rung to see where it may be. A very couldn't care less voice came to the phone and said 'oh sorry we were going to ring .your underlay hasn't arrived!😮'. No one was able to put us through to any management and kept putting us through to numerous departments who also didn't give a dam. Really poor customer service. Would never ever shop there again.have cancelled all.will go to my local smaller carpet shop. Scs are a big pile of poo”

“H Had bought a sofa, carpet and laminate flooring panels from Scs more than a month ago. We were being told that carpet will arrive in two weeks and got after a month. Also laminate panel they send can’t fix as everything falling apart. Very bad and worst experience in life. I will like to say no full stop.”

“Dreadful. Carpet arrived after 2 week wait and was the wrong size. Fitters marked newly painted wall when they brought the carpet in. Store informed but didn’t ring back to rearrange. Went into store, still couldn’t give a definite date for fitting. Went back a third time to ask for refund which took over an hour to process for some obscure reason. Staff unhelpful and useless. Went to Carpetright. Experience couldn’t have been more different. Pleasant helpful staff and job done quickly and efficiently. Never use SCS again. Incompetent and not fit for purpose.”

“Bought a lazy boy leather 3 seater and 2 seater recliner 3 years ago for £2700 from SCS Newport Gwent . All i can say is NEVER BUY FROM THEM . My 2 seater sofa broke with in 1 year contacted them on many occasions to get fobbed off nobody wanted to know so a 1300 pound sofa was ruined as the frame ( which was put togther with glue and staples snapped) SCS basically told us Tough nothing we can do as you did not purchase there insurance ( insurance aint worth a toss ). Im not going to ramble on as im sure you can work out i had to replace the 2 seater at my own expense .. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY EVER... SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND A BETTER COMPANY WHO WANT TO LOOK AFTER YOU .”

“I would never buy from SCS again. Bought a settee in June 2017 for £1700 cash. Had nothing but trouble with it, originally sent two different shades of settee as its a corner piece so all had to be replaced. 2nd sette has had a foot missing for 10 months and only just been sent it out in post and now settee has snapped along the front frame bit. Twice appointments for a upholsterer to come out and got cancelled and then a 3rd party company came out to access it and now been told we have to wait another week with a broken settee to await their decision. Customer service is appalling and call you liers. Settee of very poor quality for the money! Stay away and dont waste your money!”

“Had a recliner for 3 years and a crossbar snapped and they claim sitting on it is an accident! I'm 12 stone. Moral of the story. ScS sofas are great as long as you don't sit on them!”

“SCS were very happy to take our money (over £2200) but very quick to deny any responsibility for the problems caused by their carpet fitters, who were unable to install the carpet properly first time to the point that SCS have had to send out a new fitter to reinstall the living room carpet and it took four weeks to get the hall carpet finally laid. The fitters originally sent damaged doors, walls and skirting boards, refused to provide a receipt for the "work" they did £250 cash in hand if anyone from HMRC is reading this and SCS refused to accept any liabilty for sending these people into my home as they are "subcontractors and not our employees", my opinion is that if you send people on behalf of your company into someones home you have a responsibilty to make sure that they carry out the job properly. They blame the fitters, the fitters blame them (and refuse to return my calls and emails) my home is left in a state because of them both”
