Where should I begin? What an excellent company and what a wonderful team. We approached The Designer Sofa Company early in 2021 to design and manufacture a bespoke, curved sofa to fit in our curved lounge. We had tried a couple of other companies both of which came to nothing. Having spoken intially to Zak on the phone he invited us to the showroom to discuss our requirements. Our visit to the showroom lasted 4-5 hours and covered everything from shape, dimensions, fabric type and colour. Even more impressive was to see how the bones of the sofa would be made from English beechwood in the carpentry

Yesterday I took delivery of 2 sofas and a chair. The sheer quality of the workmanship and wonderful fabric is amazing, our furniture is everything we hoped for. The service, information and advice offered from Taz and the whole team start to finish was friendly, helpful and informative. Thank you all so much for many years of comfort.

Excellent traditional family run furniture makers! The designer sofa company in Long Eaton provides a unique service offering bespoke chairs, working with you to come up with a chair/sofa of your own. I wanted a chair to suit my disability and was comfortable for me sitting in the chair for longer periods of time. It really suited my needs, as a quite unique specification. The end product is well-made and really comfortable. The team at the designer sofa, listened to my ideas and was all very friendly. Involving me at every step in the way. All the team there is really approachable, they give

Having thought about having my dining chairs recovered i did a search and these came up. I outlined what i was looking for and was given a range price quickly. I have popped into the showroom and they quality looks exceptional. They were also keen to show the workshop area as work is done on site. I have arranged to have my 6 high back chairs recovered. There is a lead time of around 3-4 months at present.

We spent a couple of hours in the show room in Long Eaton discussing our needs. Zak and the whole family were attentive, offering suggestions and listening throughout. They even gave us a tour of the factory at the back. Our sofa has arrived today and the quality is top notch and exactly what we asked for. The delivery guys were great as well.

I absolutely love these guys! I purchased my sofa in 2011 and today it still looks brand new. 9 years later I needed to get two zips repaired on the scatter cushions and to my surprise the guys repaired them for free. This was totally unexpected but I was absolutely delighted. Thank you soo much ☺️

From the moment of walking in, (after spending several hours in Long Eaton trying to find the right company) absolutely delighted with the help and expertise given by Taz the owner. Nothing was too much trouble. Because we were moving house and our current sofa was too big, he and Zack his son drove miles to make sure our selected sofa would fit before we had it made. Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. Superior manufacturing. You can look round the workshop and see exactly how it's made. Cant praise them highly enough Thankyou Taz and family
