“Love our chairs, great price and great style”

Actually was dropped off at the wrong house, lucky our neighbor is honest. There is a glitch in Tolls system- so you cant activate your registration - when I called them all they could tell me was that it was dropped off - but I had not received it - we are in lockdown and we are at home. Your delivery service needs to do the right thing!

Easy to order yet when the bed was to be delivered they sent it back to the depot because no one was hom, they never knocked on the door. Had to ring them to chase it up and then was given the item to take up stairs on my own. May as well of delivered it my self and parts missing which I've emailed about more then once, no reply so the bed is useless.
Wouldn't buy from again.

Haven’t heard anything from John Cootes

Reason I chose this business:

Thought what a good buy but left super dissatisfied as doesn’t answer emails to get missing parts that never got sent.
Hopeless and I’m not happy!

Reason I chose this product:

Bed looked great but can’t put together as missing parts

Top layer of the mattress is lifting 6 months after purchase.I've never seen a mattress do this.mattress firmness not as advertised.medium to firm description is incorrect.it's soft to medium,.trying to claim on warranty for the last 4 weeks, very difficult even though mattress is faulty.
Very disappointed with the purchase and warranty process..

Unfortunately, couple of nights ago my favorite bed was broken, because it was too old. I understood that I required a new bed, because i needed sleeping as well as any other people. I started to search for some stores and shops which can provie me with a new bed. Of course, it wouldn't replace my favorite bed, nevertheless I would have a place to sleep on. I visitied the website of this company, applied here and got a support from customer support managers. They explained me everything and sent me a new bed. The delivery was pretty fast and I got my ned bed in couple of days.

I choose 6 lovely dining chairs that I am very happy with, however 1 had a large noticeable chip on the back leg, when I advised John Cootes customer service department of this they arranged for a replacement chair to be delivered immediately, I would not hesitate to shop online with John Cootes again.

I brought an Artiss gaming chair through John Cootes.
I feel for them as it was a bad experience that they couldn't prevent but they did accommodate me very well.
With a poor quality (maybe I just got a bad one) and COVID induced delays John Cootes resolved by issue.
