Went to purchase a dining table today, no pushy salesperson ,allowed to browse which is very nice, spoke to Andy and decided on which table I wanted, invited to sit and purchase the table, delivery free (bonus) congratulations to Andy,thank you.
As always superb service from Stokers, Phil Aldridge very helpful regarding ordering sofa and scatter cushions to match. Phil has kept us updated throughout. All members of staff knowledgeable about products they sell, would recommend to friends and family.
Always take our time choosing a mattress, but it was a lot easier this time as Carl Sixsmith who served us was very helpful and knowledgeable.
We love shopping at Stokers. Julie Williams, in particular, has on several occasions, given us excellent help and service and has gone the extra mile. We're both registered blind and therefore need more descriptions, etc.
Back to Stokers again after visiting other stores, the quality and service are second to none. Though this was our first purchase other family members have bought from Stokers over many years. Andrew was helpful without being pushy. We will be back again not doubt.
We made a special journey to the Stokers Furniture store in Chester, a 40-mile round trip. My wife is 8 months pregnant, and due to the sickness she's been experiencing, we had to fit this visit in at the last minute. I run my own business and work until 5pm, so we rushed to the store to view and try out a sofa we had seen online. We arrived at the store at 5:47pm, knowing it closed at 6pm. We quickly located the sofa we wanted to see and didn’t require any assistance, intending to leave within minutes before closing time. However, the staff’s attitude made us feel incredibly unwelcome. They were already standing at the door in their coats, and it was clear we were an inconvenience to them. At exactly 5:50pm, a tall gentleman approached us and told us we needed to leave the store as it was closing. His tone was not polite; in fact, he was rude and almost forceful in his manner. I explained that we had traveled some distance specifically to view this sofa and asked if we could just have 5 minutes to look, but he was dismissive, repeating that we needed to leave. His attitude was disgraceful—he showed no interest in why we were there or what we were looking for. Instead, he seemed more concerned with ushering us out as quickly as possible. What made this experience even worse was the complete lack of empathy or friendliness. My wife is visibly pregnant, yet there was no acknowledgment of this or any understanding of our situation. Safe to say, I will not be spending my £3,000 on the Claudia sofa we had come to see. I was in my work clothes (I’m a builder), and I can’t help but wonder if I was judged or discriminated against because of how I was dressed. Regardless, the lack of professionalism from the staff was appalling. Standing at the door in their coats at 5:50pm, clearly eager to leave, is simply unacceptable. Stokers Furniture has lost a customer, and I wouldn’t recommend the Chester store to anyone based on this experience. Stokers, if you read this review, please check your cctv footage in store and retrain your staff on how to approach customers. This intimidating attitude is disgraceful.
Used Stokers a few times now for furniture purchases, good selection of goods in a huge range. Scott Dupree was knowledgeable and helpful.
Graham and Nick did an amazing job delivering and assembling my lovely new Ercol wardrobe bought from Stokers in Chester. It looks great! Thanks for doing such a great job.
I ordered a new bed from Stokers and was very impressed with the service. Joe Tudor was extremely helpful and informative and helped me to choose the most appropriate options for me.
Julie was attentive caring and patient with our requests. Nothing was too much trouble and was able to meet all the requirements for our purchase of a recliner chair.
I have owned a sales company so I recognise the subtle difference of being sold to and being helped and assisted. Mike Williams was both courteous and informative and his product knowledge was excellent. This culminated in the purchase of a four piece leather suite from the Chester branch, which lends itself to a relaxed buying experience with plenty of choice at competative prices. Thanks for your help and patience Mike.
Fantastic service, quality products and very friendly staff especially Tracy Corns who gave us some really valuable information on how to care for our purchase. No pushy salesperson just a really pleasant experience to shop at Stokers Ormskirk branch. Thank you for making it so.
We were looking for good quality leather furniture and we weren’t disappointed. Spent quite a while with Mark Cain who was so helpful and very knowledgeable. We’re very pleased with our choice and look forward to delivery. Thanks Mark !
Excellent service as ever the pre and post sale process is so efficient. The standard and price of the products is exemplary! Thanks Martin for the service
We visited the store on Sunday 19th January. We were pretty certain on what we wanted after visiting the previous week, but we had a few questions. Mike’s knowledge and advice was excellent, and he really looked after us well. He was extremely professional and we’re really pleased with the price paid. Thanks, Mike.
Very good service from Julie. Everything explained clearly during our purchase.
We have recently been in the market for a dining table,chairs and sideboard and we are fortunate to have a Stokers showroom in the city. We have previously had an excellent experience when we purchased our three piece suite there a couple of years ago. I wasn’t to be disappointed the sales assistant (Joe Tudor) approached us to see if we required any assistance without being pushy and provided a lot of advice. We returned a short while later with a clear idea of what we wanted, again Joe helped us by providing us with a detailed, very competitive quote so we ordered the furniture. So in summary great service and great prices - what is there not to like.
A great store, with plenty of choice. What we especially liked was that once we had spoken to Scott Dupree and told him what we were looking for, he showed us where everything we were looking for was located. He then left us to wander at our leisure and told us to come to him if we had any questions or needed any help (which we did a number of times). We didn’t feel pressurised at all. This was service as it should be!
