We are pleased to feature the ScS store (Solartron estate, opposite B&Q).This is truly a specialist upholstery store. Whether you're looking for furniture in leather or fabric, you'll find an abundance of styles here to suit all pockets and tastes.
The staff are knowledgeable, courteous, helpful and by no means intrusive. Make no mistake: these people are professionals! They are not to be confused with mere order-takers!
It is Company policy that as a matter of courtesy all visitors should be greeted at the door. Rightly so in our view. Do not confuse this with many stores' practise of having salespeople stalking you. We all know there is nothing more irritating than that from a customer's perspective! ScS staff will simply direct you to the appropriate part of the store and help you find units which suit your needs.
We researched this store's furniture carefully, and are thoroughly impressed with the quality. Most of the models you will see here are exclusive to ScS and manufactured to extremely high standards. All leather ranges are of high quality "corrected grain" or "semi-aniline" leather, even on the side and rear panels (no cheap "leather-match" here!), whilst all load-bearing frames are made in hardwood or 10-ply timber.
With such a specialist and quality store you would naturally expect prices to be higher than elsewhere (not that price should necessarily be the prime consideration). A first glance at the "list" prices would appear to support that thought. Do not be fooled! ScS is amongst the finest of national retailers when it comes to negotiating terms to suit its clients' needs and circumstances. There is also never a shortage of "one-off" or "clearance" offers.Our tip here is to visit the Company's website first, and use its excellent "sofa-search" facility to do your initial browsing. Having done that, call in at the store and approach one of the members of staff, outlining your approximate requirements. You'll be surprised at how helpful they'll be. It's refreshing to note these guys are not just "after a sale". They will go the extra mile to see that your needs are met.
It's a lovely store with a remarkably pleasant ambience. There's even a small kiddies' room, and the hospitality extends to Mom and Dad being offered coffee or wine while they complete their purchase at leisure. From an accessibility point of view, the store has a lift for easy access to its upper floors. There are toilet facilities which also cater for disabled visitors. Click here to enter the ScS site.
Do not be swayed by the over-inflated advertising budgets of higher-profile competitors. After all, it's us - the customers - who ultimately pay for mass television and press campaigns. This is a thoroughly recommended store with only a moderate advertising budget. In fact, ScS often allocate their budget to discounting product for their customers' benefit, rather than spend it on mass media coverage. That's an important point.
Here's the best tip of all. Make sure you stress to a member of staff that you saw ScS featured on Shoparound. We guarantee you'll be offered the very best deal available on the day, whether you're paying by cash or 0% no-deposit finance. Incidentally, it's important to note that even when you want to do a cash deal, you only need pay a deposit of 10% (minimum £100) when you order. The balance is not payable until 2 days before delivery.
