The product itself has been good and met most of my expectations. I appreciated the quality and design, but there were a few areas of the customer service experience that could be improved.

The sofa is comfortable and looks great in the room. Delivery took a little longer than expected, but the final product was good.

After reading about the company's past challenges, I approached my purchase carefully. However, the service I received was excellent from start to finish. The Song chaise sofa is beautifully made, comfortable, and the fabric has aged wonderfully over time.
Overall
Overall, I'd describe my experience as satisfactory. The furniture is attractive and comfortable, but I think the service and communication could be more consistent. For now, three stars feels appropriate.

Taking a chance on the Song armchair turned out to be a great decision. It's wonderfully comfortable, offers excellent support, and looks fantastic in our snug. The quality of the cushions and fabric is excellent.

We purchased the Otter armchair for our bedroom and it has exceeded expectations. It's incredibly comfortable, looks fantastic in the space, and feels very well made. A great addition to the room.

I'm satisfied with both the product and the service I received. The item arrived in good condition and has been exactly what I expected based on the online description.

This company lie and cheat continuously. They took our money a year ago and have made no effort to provide the covers that they promised in return. They have promised a refund multiple times but failed to process it. They will tell any lie that is convenient to avoid making good on their promises.

I ordered a sofa on the 8th of May and got a delivery date of the 26th June and then just never heard anything. I wasn’t given rushing to finish my floor it was such a stress and now I’m scared I will get no sofa and no money back. They reply once in a blue moon saying they will get me an update and then I never heard anything from them again. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your sofa! The reviews here are so scary I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be me I see people having awaited a year. So scary cause they are so expensive! I thought I was paying for a premium service!

You will pay for something you will never receive
Waiting longer than expected wasn't…
Waiting longer than expected wasn't ideal, but the extra couple of weeks didn't feel unreasonable considering the sofa was being made specifically for us. Our Marnie chaise has exceeded expectations with its supportive cushions, attractive detailing and solid construction. Communication was always helpful whenever we requested an update.
DO NOT BUY! SCAM COMPANY
DO NOT GIVE SCAMMERS MONEY! Scam artists! Friend ordered her sofa from here. Not only did the sofa never turn up, the company withheld money and ignore all contact attempts. Their social media account restrict commenting or tagging, clearly to avoid all the scammed customers from calling them out. It’s a scam company and you will not receive anything you pay for. She had to go through bank to claim money as company are unreachable!!!
I think they have gone out of business…
I think they have gone out of business again as they have stopped responding to me .. please don’t give them any money I am literally only waiting for a set of cushions for a chair that I’ve paid a deposit for then nothing they even said they wouldn’t charge me the balance for the cushions as they have taken so long I now realise this was a joke on me because they were never going to come anyway, I’ll be honest I’m the idiot because I gave them some money again, I’ve had emails from directors, accounts apologising etc etc all of them obviously know they are lying it’s actually unbelievable. Honestly I’ve lost my money I can not be bothered to chase any more - they win !
I ordered some fabric from Maker & Son…
I ordered some fabric from Maker & Son at the end of January. To date, no fabric has been delivered. I have contacted them using the telephone number on their website and left several voicemails. Nobody from their store has returned my call. I have also sent multiple emails and completed their online web form. Nobody from their team has responded.
Scammers and thieves
Scammers and thieves. This company owes me a product or my money back. Taking them to Small Claims Court. If you are in the same position, please do the same. These people need to be held accountable. Would rate -5 if I could, disgraceful company. They have recently changed their office address and have an outdated one on their webpage.
Maker&Son have taken thousands of £££’s…
Maker&Son have taken thousands of £££’s from me in deposit, in return…no sofa, no phone calls, no emails once they had the cash. They have disappeared and taken my money with them. I think I have been scammed by a fake exterior. Do not trust this company!
Deposit paid in June ..no chair and no response to emails
Paid deposit for a chair in June to match sofa I had previously purchased .Was aware of issue with the fabric which was not going to be in stock for a while . Chased delivery date in September . No date given. Chased again and had email that was for a different customer . Have sent numerous emails but no reply since November . Have now asked for refund .
VERY DISAPPOINTING
This is my second review of this company. I removed my original review at their request after they pleaded that the business had “changed hands” and assured me that the issues previously raised would not be repeated under new management.
What followed was months upon months of exhausting back-and-forth communication. At one point, the situation deteriorated to such an extent that American Express refunded my £17,000 payment in full due to non-delivery.
Despite this, I was contacted and assured, almost relentlessly, that my sofa would be delivered if I gave the company another chance. I was told the new director was genuinely trying to rebuild the business and put things right. Against my better judgment, and in good faith, I agreed to proceed.
Unlike many other customers, I did eventually receive a sofa. However, this is where any positives end. The seat cushions were filled with incorrect padding, resulting in a noticeably inferior feel and finish. This was not subjective opinion, the director explicitly admitted that the cushions were wrong and of significantly lower quality than what had been agreed.
Despite this clear acknowledgment, no meaningful action was taken to resolve the issue. Instead, I was met with repeated delays, empty promises, and blatant avoidance. After countless attempts to obtain a resolution, communication abruptly stopped altogether. I am now completely cut off, as appear to be many other customers who are also chasing unresolved orders, refunds, or remedial work.
The pattern here is deeply concerning: assurances are made to placate customers, responsibility is acknowledged in words only, and then communication ceases once payment has been secured or pressure subsides.
I cannot stress this strongly enough, do not, under any circumstances, purchase from this company. The financial risk, emotional stress, and sheer time wasted far outweigh any potential ‘luxury sofa’ benefit.
Absolute scam artists
Absolute scam artists. After taking over £7000 of my money in May, and promising delivery five different times (where my sofa never materialised) the company is now completely ignoring my emails, voicemails, and any calls to mobiles are sent straight to vm. Now having to turn to legal assistance to get my money back. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY, you will not get your items and they will not refund you.
Do not use…
The only decent customer service I have had is when this company wanted my business. Since then nothing. Ordered placed in July for replacement covers and still nothing. If I didn’t know better I’d say the company has problems
