Conclusion
Reviews show consistent strengths in showroom support, delivery teams and named staff who handle aftercare. Many customers report good build quality, durable fabrics and ongoing satisfaction, including long‑term use. However, a minority of reviews describe comfort problems, visible defects or major faults that required refunds or replacements. Potential buyers should weigh positive reports of staff and delivery against a small number of product or communication issues when researching specific models.
