"We had a really great experience with Design Republic. After reading a lot of the reviews below, I feel that they must have worked really hard to improve their reputation! I did not experience any of the issues claimed by other customers at all. My partner and I both feel that interactions with staff were positive; the time it took for a custom build to get delivered was relatively short; and the overall quality of our sofa is great. \n\nWe ordered a sectional sofa with 30 grade material the week before Christmas. Knowing it is a busy time of year, we were told that it could take as long as 3 months for our couch to be ready. We knew it would be worth it, as we have been planning on making this big purchase for a few years, and were ready to take the plunge. DR exceeded our expectations as the couch was delivered over a month earlier than expected. We are really happy with it, and it was worth the wait. My only criticism would be that they upsold us on a fabric protector that was really expensive and does not work-- at all. I would advise that it is better go with a cheaper bottle of Scotch Guard-- the 'nanotechnology' fabric protector retails at $150.00 and does not do what it is supposed to do. We felt a little ripped off by that upsell. Overall, thumbs up DR, we love our couch!!"^^ . "0"^^ . "2017-02-07T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . . "4"^^ .
