Start to finish, excellent company.

Ordered the Roslin Large leather Chesterfield online. Amelia was our rep throughout and when we decided to change the leather for a more pet resilient choice there was no issue. Delivered on time and set up and
packing taken away. On to the sofa, it is a beauty. Craftmanship and materials are top notch. The design is what we were after, modern yet classic. We love it, very happy and Amelia has updated us throughout.

The sofa is fantastic

The sofa is fantastic. That being said, the customer interface and delivery time were terrible, bordering on maddening. I ordered the sofa in September, and it took 14 weeks to arrive, having said 6-8 weeks. A preemptive message saying you're delivery is going to be late, or a text apologising for the busy period, would have completely changed my outlook - instead I wasted a lot of time calling and emailing them, asking for updates, only to spend most of my time being bounced round answering machines, or waiting weeks for a dismissive reply. Not my best customer interface experience.

Professional and helpful company with quality range of products

It’s the first time I have purchased from this company and I’m so glad I did !

The total transaction from start to finish was a professional, helpful and friendly experience. The staff gave 1st class communications throughout the purchase and delivery and the sofabed (made to order) was amazing quality and extremely comfortable.

I have already recommended Darlings of Chelsea to family and friends and I shall continue to do so.

Thank you and well done to everyone !

Super comfy sofabed

It look a while to arrive, as you'd expect for a bespoke piece of furniture, but it was well worth the wait. Suuuper comfy to sit on as a sofa and makes a perfect second bed. Fabric feels good quality and the frame feels sturdy. The delivery and installation was also very smooth. Really happy with it - worth the price tag!

Fantastic customer service

To Whom It May Concern,

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Darlings of Chelsea in Parsons Green, and my experience was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, Sherif greeted me warmly and was incredibly patient and welcoming as I navigated the store. His friendly demeanour created a comfortable environment that made me feel valued as a customer.

Shortly thereafter, I was assisted by Keno, who introduced himself with professionalism and enthusiasm. He took a genuine interest in understanding my specific requirements, asking thoughtful questions about what I was looking for—such as a fabric chair—and offering insightful suggestions. Throughout the consultation, Keno’s helpfulness was evident; he was clear, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring I found exactly what suited my style and needs.

Keno’s exemplary customer care made a significant impression on me. He listened carefully, provided knowledgeable advice, and showed patience, which helped me feel confident in my decisions. His proactive approach and willingness to go above and beyond truly stood out. It is rare to encounter such attentive and genuine service, and I believe it greatly enhances the shopping experience.

I would highly recommend Darlings of Chelsea to anyone seeking honest guidance, quality products, and outstanding customer service. My sincere appreciation goes to Sheriff and especially Keno for their warm, professional, and helpful support.

This store exemplifies what excellent customer service should be, and I will certainly return in the future.

Incredibly stressful experience and…

Incredibly stressful experience and took months for the item to be delivered. I had to do all the chasing and the company was reactive rather than proactive. They were also very reluctant to offer me any compensation other than free delivery and pick up of the old item. Not only did it caused me distress but also inconvenience as I needed the item earlier.

Excellent Customer Service

The design and aesthetic of the Darlings sofabed was exactly what we wanted. However, it came with a fault that was apparent only later when we opened it as a bed. Darlings' response was exemplary. The problem was assessed and arrangements made for a replacement with no hassle. They were proactive in keeping us informed of progress with the new sofabed. Highly recommended.

Such Utter Disappointment

Such utter disappointment

Having done extensive research on 'best sofa companies' and after high recommendation we bought an absolutely super sofa in their clearance sale. Perfect! Far bigger price reduction than their norm, which fitted our budget. We received an invoice which we paid and were given a date of arrival, just before Christmas, hooray !
Only it wasn't hooray, 48 hours later they told us they had made a mistake, someone else had bought our sofa. It took a week to be refunded.
After extensive communication asking them to honour our purchase, they replied "no' every time. They did offer the same for ÂŁ600 more (31% increase on the original price), but that exceeded our budget by some way.
We are so extremely disappointed with the customer service we have decided to spend our money elsewhere. I feel certain they could have honoured the original price, but their commercial decision prioritised their margin above customer satisfaction. We would have been thrilled and truly appreciated their effort had they honoured the sale they made, and we would have sang their praises.

Hello Joanna,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry for the disappointment and frustration this situation caused, especially so close to Christmas and the excitement you quite understandably felt.

Unfortunately, due to a genuine system error, the clearance sofa you purchased was sold in duplicate before the issue was identified. We fully appreciate how upsetting it was to be informed of this after payment had already been taken and we sincerely apologise for that mistake.

Regarding the refund, we would like to clarify the timeline. Your order was placed on 2nd December. You were contacted on 3rd December to advise of the duplicate sale and the refund process was initiated the same day. This was temporarily paused on 5th December while we explored alternative options with you, as requested. Once you confirmed on 6th December that you did not wish to proceed with the alternative offer, the refund was actioned.

We did explore alternative options and made an offer available at the time, but we fully understand that this was outside your budget and was therefore declined. While we were unable to recreate the original clearance price, for a new made to order sofa, we are sorry that we couldn’t offer a cost that worked for you.

Your feedback is taken very seriously, and we’re sorry that this experience has left you feeling let down. This is certainly not the impression we ever want to give, and we appreciate you highlighting how much you would have valued the outcome being different. Once again, our sincere apologies and thank you for engaging with us throughout, even under such disappointing circumstances.

All the best,
The Team @ Darlings of Chelsea

Darlings of Chelsea went above and beyond

Darlings of Chelsea went above and beyond. When they told me a supplier had let them down and that my order would be later than promised they were kind enough to lend me a sofabed to replace it over the holiday period. They also waived the delivery fee and didn't charge me for dismantling my old sofabed. Service wise I'd recommend them to anyone.
