Very professional, efficient service from start to finish. Staff were really helpful without being pushy and knew what they were talking about. Collected our chair as planned and returned it within the agreed time which was great...no chasing needed! And the chair has been beautifully upholstered, with great attention to detail. Very pleased with Sofa Rooms and would definitely recommend!
