"I would highly recommend this company. Bought Knowles 15 years ago and just had recovered. Excellent job. The really good thing about this company is that they really do care about customer satisfaction and will go to almost any lengths to ensure that you are happy. I would not buy a sofa from anywhere else. They are great value, especially when taking into consideration the quality and service that I received.."
"Whether you have a new bespoke sofa or your sofa re-upholstered we always want to make you happy and we go that little further to ensure this happens. Quality and our customers are our number one priority, and I think it shows in the reviews we receive. Thank You from all the team."

"The service from Taz and his team was spot on from the start. Professional,and engaging , their customer services is exemplary ensuring they met all of our customer needs .
We had a multi York sofa and chair that we wished to have duplicated for our cottage.
Not being able to fully replicate our sofa and chair as the material of our original items was no longer available and we needed one of the sofas to be made in slightly smaller dimensionsIan spent a good hour with us going through the detail and choosing the right material for the final items over a cup of tea.
Once decided, we made arrangements to get our original sofa and chair to Taz and the team so they could Build the additional items with an expectation of completion in 6-8 weeks.
This expectation was honoured with an invite to visit the shop to see the finished products . In the interim of the viewing and collection, Taz kept contact regarding the final touches re finials, legs etc,. When we arrived to see the finished sofas and chairs , we were not disappointed .The sofas looked proportionate despite one being slightly smaller as asked and it was not possible to tell which chair was the original and which the duplicated chair. The finish on sofas and chairs was top class and all items were supportive and comfortable .
Now back in the cottage the sofas anc chairs fit perfectly, in size and design. Made with quality materials and attention to detail we look forward to enjoying them for many years"
"Wow thank you for that detailed review. I don`t think I need to add anything to it. We always try our best and its nice to be appreciated. From all the team, thank you."

"Excellent service and experience throughout. I went to the designer sofa because I'd seen several pieces of furniture online I thought were almost perfect but never something that ticked all my boxes. So I went in and showed them some pictures and from there it was all about getting the perfect chair.
I was shown the hundreds of fabrics to choose from that meet my needs in colour and resiliance, and shown and got to test the various types of cushions/fillings to decide what was most suitable for me. And then I got the opportunity to sit in a chair and ask for things like "this chair but with a deeper cushion", "the arms need to be 3 inches higher", "the back needs to be wider". Right down to the bespoke level.
I was explained the types of wood used to build the frame is hardwood and not a single creak in it. And what's better is if I ever get fed up of the fabric, I can come back and get it reupholstered, because I feel I've got a chair that's actually going to last me a lifetime as opposed to a store brought from even the most highest quality of high street stores.
I'm absolutely in love with the armchair and will definitely be going back in the future for a sofa."
"Once you have had a sofa from The Designer Sofa you will come back for more, we believe a customer is for life and not just for that sale, we will always be here to help you. This is also the reason we get so many recommendations, and people sent their family and friend to be looked after by our friendly team. Distance is not a problem we cover the whole country."

"We’re are so pleased with the workmanship and service. Our multi York sofas look amazing after being re-upholstered and altered slightly in height and seat cushion width. Ian,Taz and the boys do an amazing job. They talk you through all the work and help you decide on fabric and colors. We checked the finished sofas before delivery and could not believe they were the Sam ones. As I sit on one now writing this review I am still amazed at the transformation. The whole team are very professional and friendly. We discussed the work over coffee and chatted for ages you are treated exceptionally well.
Thank you so much it was money well spent, yes we could have bought new ones but why when these were only worn out material they frames were solid.
Collection and delivery was exceptional as we moved house in between the two, this was not a problem at all.
Once again thank you see you in another ten years. 😀"

"My wife and l wanted a custom made sofa and chair in leather, after some research we decided to give the designer sofa people a go.
We like to use local businesses when we can and we were not disappointed, from the moment we walked in Taz made us feel really welcome and listened to our design ideas with interest, he advised us on style and materials but was not in the slightest bit pushy
The order was placed and a few weeks later we got the call to go to the showroom and look at the finished article we were definitely not disappointed with the craftsmanship and quality were there to see.
The same day the furniture was delivered ( free of charge )by two of the politest lads you could wish to meet they carefully placed the furniture exactly where we wanted it
It looks brilliant
If you're looking to buy bespoke furniture you won’t do better than Taz and the team at The Designer Sofa, they aren’t the cheapest out there but in our opinion, based on what we received pound for pound they are definitely in the top one."

"I phoned The Designer Sofa because I have a Knole sofa and needed replacement ties. I spoke with Harris who's advice was so helpful, he was very patience and well he was just brilliant. I have received the ties which are perfect really stunning. A massive thank you to Harris your customer service is tops...5 stars."

"We first walked into Taz’s showroom in 2017 and were won over by his professionalism and attention to detail. We ordered a wonderful bespoke corner sofa for our daughter and were it not for his expertise and advice we would have never been able to navigate the final design. Following this Taz reupholstered our old Duresta sofa and made us a complementary fireside chair and footstool to go with it. Now completely rebuilt the sofa is better than when it was new! This year we have taken delivery of yet another handmade sofa this time for our kitchen and we could not be more delighted with it. Our journey with Taz speaks for itself and we will be returning again. Not only is Taz an absolute pleasure to deal with, he takes a pride in the excellence of his pieces of furniture resulting in his customers returning time and again."
"We do get a lot of returning customers once they have had something from us. We are a family company that treats everyone like family. if it is not good enough for us, it's not good enough for you. We want everyone to be happy with what we design for them. Taz & the Team"
John & Katie Mellers (2nd May 2017)
"Very helpful and a delight to deal with. Not pushy at all. Only the best wood used for frames and quality springs so the end product is built to last. What a pleasure to find someone so dedicated to ensuring that the customer is happy with an item that after all takes up a large space in your home and you need to love!!! I can't recommend them enough.
John & Katie"
"Thank you, John & Katie, For you kind review. We ae not pushy as we don't need to be, we let the quality of our sofas do the work, and we treat people like we would like to be treated. Thank You Ian"

"Taz and Zach, we have been meaning to leave a review for the last six months but we can now report the reaction of friends and family to our 13 pieces of reupholstered furniture. Firstly everyone agrees that the quality is exceptional but they can hardly believe that the two modern sofas in front of their eyes are actually the two old, traditional ones we previously enjoyed for some 14 years!
Whilst hunting for a new suite we met Taz who took the time to educate us in much about furniture and upholstery and we made the decision to stay with the expensive furniture we already had. Thank you for all your time and patience and thank goodness, through these extremely strange few months, we have been surrounded by our comfortable ‘new’ furniture.
We hope you and all your expert staff are safe and well but we are confident that your business will come through as you are so good at what you do. It was a real pleasure to work with you and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Our very best wishes to you all, Jan & Ian"
