AVOID NEXT FOR SOFAS

I’ve name changed for this as everyone in my circle knows this story.

On the 21st July we ordered a Stratus V sofa from Next. We were given a 10-12 week lead time. It eventually turned up 17 weeks after ordering following numerous calls from us as well as going to twitter etc as we were told that it was on its way then it would never arrive etc.

Anyway, mid November it finally arrived. Except it only had half of the required number of feet. The delivery guy was baffled as he couldn’t understand why they’d sent half the of the feet and not the rest. I also noted there were no scatter cushions but was more concerned with the fact that my sofa was on a small slope and potentially damaging my wood floor and putting strain on the join on the sofa. We were told that day that the feet would be sent to us the following Monday. The feet have still not arrived. The scatter cushions eventually arrived mid December.

I have spoken to Next around 10-15 times now since including via social media and going in store and been reassured each time the feet are on their way. I’m beyond furious and just want the rest of my bloody order that makes my sofa complete.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I can’t find the CEO or similar on twitter.

Please no one else waste your money on a Next sofa.

email the CEO at Next - just google and address him by name. Tell him what you want and why - keep it short. Good Luck

We had issues with delivery of sofas from Next too; also wooden furniture. The stuff is fantastic quality and rock solid but actually getting it was a nightmare, it went on for months.

Thank you fiveshelties.

I can’t understand how they are so useless.

Well I’ve emailed the CEO. Guess I’ll wait and see if they respond.

Our next sofas came in 4 days and I love them, they’re still as good as new, so they’re not always useless.
I’m sorry you’ve had a shit experience though. Hope you get a decent response.

We have next sofas and ours were delivered with a set of extra feet. They are the worst sofas I’ve ever had. Gone super saggy and no support under the cushions so you sink to the floor when you sit on them. Will never buy a next sofa again.

Glad someone has had a good experience SoyDora!

Doodlejump we’ve already had a technician out about the sagging we’ve notice already. It’s got a different type of filling in from what we were told would be in it and now requires regular plumping. Apparently that’s the only type of filling it comes with so we were missold the bloody thing in the first place 🤬

I would never buy furniture from Next, there are loads of bad experiences like yours OP. OK to buy clothes and small household good from but not anything which would be highly inconvenient for it not to turn up. Hope it gets sorted soon.
