Top-quality solid oak floor and very helpful Carlisle store staff.
“I am absolutely delighted with the solid oak floor I purchased from DWF.”
Reviewers most often highlight helpful staff, competent fitters and good-looking floors, and many customers report competitive pricing or promotional offers. Delivery and communication are frequently praised, but some customers experienced late fitters, restrictive delivery rules or slow escalation for installation queries. There are isolated but significant reports of product defects and unanswered warranty complaints, so confirm warranty handling and response channels before purchase. Practical checks for buyers: get delivery scope in writing (two-person delivery or indoor delivery), confirm exactly what installations include (stairs, multiple levels), and keep written pricing and warranty confirmations.
