Sofa

I ordered a sofa on line from sofa world. I dealt with the store on st.laurnt. blv. Ottawa. I was greeted by a lady named Norma who took care of any questions or concerns i had. It only took 2 weeks for delivery. The delivery guys were so nice and did an amazing job bringing up my sofa wich was a tight fit. The only concern i did have is the picture on line the sofa i ordered was a littke darker. I am actually happy with it being a little lighter. So yes i would order a sofa from sofa world again. Great quality.

Amazing delivery team

Huge thanks to the incredible delivery team. A tough delivery was made to look effortless as the team problem solved how to get the sectional through our narrow entranceway. An extra pair of hands was called in for help. The team hoisted the sectional over our backyard fence and carried it through the patio doors (which involved removing and reinstalling the doors). They checked in with us at each and every step, explained our options, and allowed us to decide how to proceed. All team members were very personable and polite. Phenomenal customer service!

Sectional and an armchair

an hour agoNEW
I ordered Dovemont sectional and gwen armchair back in Oct 2021. It took them 18 weeks to get to my house which was fine due to the pendamic. Our sales representative Amanda was super nice and helpful. My issue is that the armchair was not to my liking and as to any other store I expected to be offered the chance to return it, especially after waiting for that long.

Even though Amanda tried to help us as much as possible, the store manager was not cooprarive and offered us an unfair deal. He was not respectful and did not even give us a minute of his time, he was also suptly shouting at another couple with the same situation as us, so unprofessional. I would think 1000 times before buying from them again!

My only option now is to resell it and lose money on the Armchair, because of a lousy customer service! I just hope Amanda can get a better Job somewhere else, she was a sweetheart.

Very poor quality product

I waited until my home was child and pet free to buy my leather couch. After shopping in every store in Ottawa over 3 years, I came upon a set I really loved in sofa world. I upgraded the upholstery to leather, was told by the seller it would be 100% leather all over. When it arrived I was disappointed that it was NOT leather all over. I called the manufacturer who told me that the seller was wrong. I chose a custom color and therefore not returnable. After less than 2 years of adult use it started to pill and peel. Leather does not behave this way. I contacted both the manufacturer and Sofa World. NO HELP. So I am left with a TERRIBLE product that I have to replace in less than 3 years. I had cheap floor model sofa from discount stores last 5 times longer. Very disappointed.
Do not buy here.

Service we received and good made in Canada product

We went to the Sofa world store after searching for a sofa on line and made arrangement with the staff to meet the next day. The Sofa we were looking for did not have the color we were looking for but in our case it was to our advantage. The staff introduce us to a cough they have on display and let us compare with the one we saw on line and the quality was much superior and it even had the color we wanted. We were sold that night and made arrangement to pick it up the following Saturday. When we arrive at the warehouse. The staff took good care of us. He meticulously unwrap the sofa for us to inspected, no pressure and once we were satisfied he re-packed it so it can be loaded in our trailers. This was done in a safe manner. The warehouse individual was very meticulous, courteous and professional. I like to deal with people who care about what they do and it shows. You can give yourself a pat on the back and would encourage other customers to make the effort to tips in kind words those who make the effort of providing us excellent service.

Pull out sofa

I had such a positive experience looking for a sofa bed at Sofa World! I found staff members Jen and Norma to be so helpful! They each took so much time to walk me through the possible options. Over the course of several days they patiently looked into the perfect sofa for me - I am overall really happy with the services.

had to pay delivery charge twice

My daughter purchased a lovely sofa in August, her first major purchase, which she'd save up for. Unfortunately she was only offered curb-side delivery due to Covid, and when the sofa arrived we couldn't get it into the house. It appeared to be too large for our door frame, no matter how we positioned it. We had no choice but to return the sofa. We were charged a second delivery fee to have the sofa returned, and then were not provided a refund, only credit, despite the fact that the couch was brand new. There were no smaller suitable sofas there so now we have a credit we don't know what to do with. My daughter was heart-broken. I think the prices at Sofa World are very competitive but unfortunately I can't recommend them because of the treatment my daughter received.

Sofa World = Profit over Customer satisfaction

We've been shopping for just the right Sofa Bed for our cottage for some time. We saw one at the St Laurent Ottawa store that we thought might work, depending on the size. My wife put a deposit on the sofa (which was in stock). We were to get back to Cheryl to let her know if it was the right size.
While the size was right, we realized the colour was too dark and so we called Cheryl 2 weeks later to get a refund of the deposit. She informed us that Sofa World WILL NOT refund. The only option she offered was a credit note. She referred us to the back of the sales order to prove her point. She failed to note that a refund is available (less 25% restocking fee).
If you are unsure about a purchase, DO NOT make a deposit at Sofa World as they are clearly more interested in sales revenue than in customer service and satisfaction.

Very poor after sales delivery service with a satisfactory ending

After having waited over 3 months for our purchase of 3 theatre chairs, we decided to followup with Sofaworld to determine the status. Despite having received no call to advise that the furniture was in and to schedule delivery, the salesperson advised that the furniture had been received. The salesperson booked us for delivery that Thursday and advised of the 3 hour notification window. Late in the afternoon of the scheduled date, we received no call so decided to followup with the store. Rima, the salesperson that we spoke to this time said she would look into it and get back to us. Sure enough, no delivery was scheduled
for that day! So not only were we not advised of the receipt of furniture but they also screwed up the delivery date. No apology was given only a new delivery date.Totally unacceptable. I notified her that I wanted to cancel the complete order for refund. Not a very competent company to deal with or so I felt. Within 10 minutes of expressing my dissatisfaction, the owner called me to discuss. He was quite concerned as this company prides itself in customer satisfaction. After discussing the matter with the Owner I am very impressed with his genuine concerns and willingness to make it right no matter what. That was good enough for me to change my review and rating.
