I thought the shopping experience we had at the Bath store was a thing of the past, but we were pleasantly surprised with the staff and later all our dealings with Arlo & Jacob.
We ordered bespoke legs which the factory were happy to make and deliver. The customer care team kept in touch throughout, even after delivery.

An excellent experience from start to finish. I had a really useful video call with in house designer Abigail Cowley, which was incredibly useful and I actually chose different sofas than I was originally thinking of. Abigail even sent me photos of the different sofas in the showroom, which was very helpful. A big shout out to the two delivery guys too, who were friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. I can’t fault my sofas or the customer service I’ve received from start to finish at Arlo & Jacob.

We are really happy with our sofa, it looks beautiful and is very comfortable. We had a small problem which was resolved quickly and efficiently. The customer service team were great.

We ordered an Arlo & Jacob Zachary Corner sofa and filler unit. The order was delivered on time and efficiently installed in our home. The sofa is of the highest quality and completely transformed the living room. One small problem was a button had come unthreaded but once we informed the company, its customer services team was exceptionally helpful. A team arrived quickly and the problem was solved in no time at all.
All-in-all, our experience of the product itself and the customer services team has been outstanding. We are delighted with our purchase and will have no hesitation in buying again from Arlo & Jacob.

From the moment we stepped into their store in Bath we were made to feel welcome. There was no hard sell just a desire to help. We had a vague idea of what we were looking for and Olivia was very helpful in showing us sofas she thought would be compatible with what we were after.
We are really happy with the sofas we eventually decided on and again Olivia was really helpful in guiding us with suitable colur schemes .

From the shopping experience in the Tunbridge Wells store, to being kept up to speed about the order, everything was so efficient and such a friendly team. The delivery team were equally friendly, cheery and efficient, obviously proud to be working for Arlo & Jacob. Thank you to everyone for making the whole experience a joy. And I am delighted with the sofas!!

So far our experience has been wonderful. We spent a long time at the beautiful and calm store in Bath. Fiona was so helpful and knowledgable, talking through ideas, dimension and fabrics and helping bring our dream sofa to life. We can’t wait for it to arrive in time for Christmas!

We have made quite a few purchases from Arlo & Jacob over a number of years so can testify to the quality and longevity of the products. We have 5 sofas of various sizes and styles. A love chair and a couple of individual chairs not to mention three footstools which have storage. This latest review relates to the most recent purchase which was an ex display footstool which was purchased along with two sofas. During the collection process the legs of the footstool went missing and were not with the delivery. I quickly message to the excellent customer services and this has been remedied. I cannot speak highly enough of the company and their customer service agents Amanda and Olivia who are just so professional and thorough. It’s a five star plus from us thank you again!!!

Excellent. Great service from beginning to end, staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Was kept fully informed all through and delivery was seamless with a great delivery team too. British made furniture which is excellent.

After many hours of searching, looking at sample fabrics and matching to our existing Arlo and Jacob sofa, we chose an outlet chair.
After 6 weeks, this didn’t arrive, once chased, it arrived two days later. However, the wrong chair arrived, this was later picked up and 3 days later, explained that ours had been mislabelled and subsequently unavailable.
We were left without the chair, nor any reasonable solution ( we wanted the chair ordered, even if that was ‘made to order’ at no extra cost to us - as not our error) and so a refund provided. Poor service, we were not provided with the chair ordered unless we paid for a made to order and wait another 6 weeks…
We will not be returning

We had incredible service from Arlo and Jacob. It all started at the Marlow showroom with the team giving us many ideas for our home. We chose a Henry sofa, Agatha chair and Ferdinand chair. We couldn't be more pleased. Fabulous communication all the way through the process right up to our delivery day. The delivery guys were very friendly, efficient and helpful. Unpacked, legs attached and packaging all removed with no fuss. Absolutely amazing, we have a stylish and beautifully designed collection of furniture. Thank you everyone at Arlo & Jacob, 10 out of 10.

We love our Hector Sofa and footstool, it looks great and is really comfortable, It was a great experience all round from Arlo and Jacob, from the Rebecca's help and advice in the Marlow store to help select colour samples and work through all the options available through to Amanda in customer services who promptly sorted out an issue we had with some stitching on the footstool. The delivery team we're really friendly and polite and gave us a call on the day to give a time slot.

I have had the best experience shopping with Arlo and Jacob in Guildford!
I had been looking for a sofa for well
over a year unable to make a decision despite sitting on some great sofas!
Step in Abigail Cowley, Arlo’s interior designer!
Abigail visited my home, brought plenty of sofa fabric samples and together we both agreed on the style and colour for my sitting room. Abigail was amazing - can’t recommend her highly enough!
All of the staff in the Guildford store were extremely helpful, extremely patient and if you are in a dilemma with choice, like I was , you have to visit your local Arlo and Jacob!
Can’t wait for the delivery - I chose the Otti modular for comfort all the way!
Thank you so very much to everyone!

i dont usually write reviews but i wanted to say how amazing the customer service in the Bristol store was on Thursday. Perhaps the best service i have had anywhere for 30 years. Fiona was fabulous - great communication, knowledgeable and helpful at just the right level .I have now ordered my sofa so cant comment on that yet but i will review again.

I learned of Arlo & Jacob through a friend whose sofa I admired. I have never ordered a custom sofa online, so I was unsure if this would work out, but there was a lot of information to help me on the website, and I talked by phone with an Arlo & Jacob staff member who was extremely helpful, guided me in the choices, and explained durability of the various fabrics. I am so impressed with the quality, comfort and attention to detail! I ordered a Ralf sectional with Seaglass woven fabric and it is perfect! So incredibly comfortable and stylish in my living room. It was delivered exactly as promised and we are very happy!

I recently purchased a sofa and couldn’t be happier with both the product and the overall experience. From the moment I walked into the shop, the staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made the ordering process smooth and stress-free.
Communication throughout was good—clear updates, realistic timelines, and no surprises. The delivery team was equally impressive: punctual, courteous, and careful with the handling and setup. They even took the time to ensure everything was positioned just right before leaving.
As for the sofa itself—beautifully made, comfortable, and exactly as described. It’s clear that quality and customer satisfaction are top priorities for this company.
Happy to recommend to anyone looking for a great product and a truly professional service.

We bought a chair from Arlo and Jacob. The shop staff were very helpful and we were kept up to date with the chair progress. The delivery was efficient. The chair is fantastic- looks good and is very comfortable.

We were keen to try out our chosen model (Grace) before committing which involved visiting three different showrooms. The staff in each were all helpful and professional. Ordering was straightforward and communications were good. Sofa arrived on time and really is a lovely thing. I’m glad we spent the extra time and money to get exactly what we wanted. We’ve had it almost two months now it’s looking/feeling great.
