I had a problem entering my address on your Registration of Furniture page on the Duresta website. Unfortunately it omitted a line of my address and I did not realise until I received confirmation of Registration by separate email. I cannot edit or review my entry of the Registration now.
The problem I had with Registration was all sorted out very quickly by a very professional Customer Service Representative who took time to ring me and explain that my furniture was actually automatically registered for warranty via their retailer, so no need for me to actually input any details via their website. Thank you Duresta for your attention.

If I could give Zero Stars I would !
Brought a Spitfire sofas and chairs in lockdown, waited nearly a year for delivery, after two years the Leather quality was appalling considering the £10k spend. Complained to CEO Mr Clive Kenyon-Brown, took nearly a year and a threat of legal action. They sent out a dodgy subcontractor who filled out the complaint form prior to seeing the sofa ! CCTV images to prove this !
New covers made with much cheaper leather quality & filling, within weeks same fault as before and magically old covers they don't have anymore !!!!! Photo after less than 1 week.
Wish I had kept my money, for such a prestige maker, how disappointing !
Even their reply online has broken GDPR rules for this review ! And this sums up there response of a company that clearly doesn't understand how to deal with Complaints or the consumer rights act 2015 !
The Sofa was within the time limit of there guarantee, but sadly took over a year to reply and as if by magic over there guarantee period !!!! Blamed on Covid and missing emails !
Please go to Google reviews to see how bad the substandard replacement covers look after a few days !

Generally excellent
Generally excellent. Superb quality and early delivery. Unfortunately a fault noticed in the middle of one base cushion that should have been picked up at the factory. Hence a star less. I hope this will be quickly sorted by the manufacturer.

Sheer luxury, comfort and opulence
Having spent 4 months looking at options, we visited Vasey's in Carlisle for the 4th time. They had just got the Harvard 3 seater large sofa, reading chair and matching footstool in the showroom. It was so comfortable to sit on (I like sofas you sink into), looked luxurious in the gorgeous monarchy gold complimented by the reading chair in black with contrasting black & gold cushions with footstool to match. A timeless look that wont date and quality.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for reaching out to us and please accept my apologies for the delay in our response.
We are incredibly sorry to hear that you experienced a delay with your order.
We source all our fabrics from prestigious fabric mills, to ensure we are producing furniture of the highest quality. However, we do unfortunately experience delays with supply chains that are out of our control.
We are truly sorry for your experience and completely understand your frustrations. Please be assured we are working closely with our suppliers to manage and improve both our delivery times and communications going forward.
Thank you,
Duresta.
Never again
Never again. Duresta sofas and chairs have far too soft seats to hold shape and support, hence user sinks and the arm rests become too high. Thoughtless non ergonomic designs good for nothing. They have so far refused to replace the cushion material to correct their design error. Ongoing for the past twelve months.
In response to Duresta's reply below, I do not imply that quality of the material used is in any way not good enough or poor, its softness makes it simply unsuitable for a seating cushion. This is a design error! The seat sinks; it is as simple as that! Seat requires very hard or hard foam with the right backing and shaping. Arm rests are for arms not for shoulders!

We had a Duresta suite for 16 years and whilst it was as good as the day we bought it we felt it was now out dated so in 2022 we bought a new suite costing £16000. Whilst we love it one of the chairs has slightly loose arms which bothers me but my wife seems to think it acceptable. It’s ok now but I am worried about it’s none term stability and I don’t feel its quite as well made as the original suite. Hope I am wrong as it is a lovely comfortable suite.

BEWARE of buying a Duresta sofa if you think you’ll ever need it cleaned PART TWO
I posted a review below on my experience with Duresta regarding issues that have arisen after we had our sofa professionally cleaned.
Duresta came back to our review, where they ‘acknowledged’ that their cleaning instructions ‘should have been clearer’ and a long apology on why they have ignored my emails and never returned my calls. The company that will not offer any cleaning advice, advises you to seek cleaning by a third party company and then blames the third party company. It is like a clothing retailer offering no care instructions on a label, then blaming you for how you wash the item! I did seek advice from the outlet store where I purchased who are owned by Duresta for a cleaning company recommendation and I was at no point told to instruct a dry cleaning company only. I was simply told to use a professional cleaning company, which is what I did.
They ignored more emails and after calling yet again today, I have received a response from Duresta, which is completely night and day from the helpful and empathetic response they have given online for other unsuspecting customers to see. They have offered no help and will not be offering any resolution to our ruined Duresta sofa. I have enclosed the response below.
‘Thank you for contacting us here at Duresta. I have taken some time today to investigate your complaint and correspondence so far.
Whilst I am incredibly empathetic with the circumstances surrounding your complaint, it is apparent there is no way to reverse the cleaning process your suite has been through.
I appreciate your comments regarding the information we offer to our consumers for the cleaning of their furniture. The reason we do not supply detailed information to our consumers when purchasing our furniture, is that all our fabrics differ in composition and natural characteristics. We would usually recommend contacting a reputable upholstery cleaning service but would advise that any dealings with companies such as these is at your own risk. We are manufacturers of furniture, but not experts in the cleaning of upholstery.
We are often contacted by cleaning companies to ask for details on the composition of a fabric they have been asked to service, and we happily provide this information, to ensure the best possible care is taken when cleaning the upholstery. The experience you have had with the cleaning company used is nothing short of unfortunate, and this is not a complaint I have had to deal with before.
My advice would be to refer back to the company who provided the wet clean on your upholstery and take the matter up with them. Whilst I understand this response doesn’t offer you any solace or compensation, we are unable to assist in resolving this matter.‘
PLEASE DO NOT BUY from this company. They take your money and run. They will not tell you how to care for your sofa explicitly and they are apparently ‘just the manufacturer’. They are not the reputable company they portray to be and their after sales is nothing short of non existent. We got our sofa a the outlet price, I would be beyond livid if I’d spend the £6500+ on this sofa. There is nothing we can do to not resolve our issue, but we can help others in but having the same issue at least. If you read other reviews, other customers have questioned the lack of care instructions too and I think it is absolutely unbelievable that a company that ‘celebrates luxury’ cannot instruct its customers on how to care for its furniture.

Hi Gary,
After your last review, we acknowledged that our cleaning instructions could have been clearer, and we expressed empathy for your situation. However, it's important to note that the issue you encountered arose from the cleaning process carried out by a third-party company, not from ourselves.
The outcome of your sofa's cleaning process is indeed unfortunate, but it's essential to address the matter with the company responsible for the cleaning, as they would have the necessary expertise in addressing any damage that occurred during the process.
While we recognise that our response may not provide the resolution you were hoping for, we genuinely regret any inconvenience you've experienced. As our customer service team mentioned in the above response, we are always happy to let our customers know the composition of our fabrics to ensure they can be cleaned properly. Our goal is to assist our customers to the best of our ability, but in cases where the issue arises from external services, we must direct you to the appropriate parties for resolution.
We take customer feedback seriously and will continue to work on providing clearer instructions to ensure the best possible experience for our customers in the future.
Once again, we apologise for any frustration this situation has caused you, and we hope that the matter can be resolved with the cleaning company responsible for the damage.

The most uncomfortable sofa ever.
Very disappointed in my Duresta sofa. The seat and back cushions started sagging many months ago. Plumping them daily doesn’t help and the seat cushions are heavy and awkward to keep plumping and turning around. These are not covered by the guarantee. Advised by showroom where it was bought to buy generic inserts (Duresta ones would be very expensive, no surprise there) but so far I’ve not found anything that really helps. It is the most uncomfortable sofa I’ve ever sat on and definitely not worth the price. I would not recommend or buy any furniture from Duresta again.

Delay in delivery, missing items
Advised by Cousins delivery would be 14 to 16 weeks. However it was actually 24 weeks! We think this is unacceptable.
The footstool was covered in different material to that that was requested.
Two scatter cushions had not been delivered. On enquiry Cousins have informed us that this will take up to 4 weeks to be delivered. Which we find unacceptable.

Hi Graham,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Cousins. We sincerely apologise for the issues you've encountered with your recent order, as this does not align with our commitment to providing a smooth and efficient shopping experience for our customers.
We deeply regret that the delivery time exceeded our initial estimate. We understand that a delay of 24 weeks instead of the promised 14 to 16 weeks is unacceptable and frustrating. We will thoroughly investigate the reasons behind this delay and work to prevent such occurrences in the future.
Regarding the footstool being covered in a different material than requested and the missing scatter cushions, we understand your disappointment and frustration. This is certainly not the level of quality and service we strive to provide. While we understand your frustration with the additional wait, we want to assure you that we have done our best to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.
We value your feedback and take your concerns seriously. Our customer service team is committed to addressing your issues and providing you with a resolution that meets your satisfaction.
Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you've experienced. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make this right for you.
