poor quality control and customer communications
We ordered a Barney dining table which looked nice enough in the showroom. When ours showed up, it had a poorly done 30cm long fill in the middle of the top of the table as well as multiple other smaller fills ~1cm. Yet the one in the showroom had no fills - totally different quality. Fair enough they accepted it immediately for replacement.
After waiting for a replacement, when seen side by side with the original table being collected on the same day it is a totally different colour, enough to confuse the delivery team. The top of the replacement table also has such colour variation between the main centre piece and the joining side pieces that it just looks odd. It's going back for a refund. Again, nothing like the item in the showroom even with natural variations in the wood.
I asked the delivery team if they have a lot of Barney tables going back, they told me yes they had done quite a few. Quality control has clearly been substandard.
We were also going to order dining chairs and so collected a set of fabrics from a showroom. When we went to order, the colours had disappeared from the website. We took a couple of weeks to decide on options but don't people typically do that? No notice in store or on the website that the colours were about to disappear. Eventually we found out from their customer support that the colours were discontinued and that new colours are coming in March (it was January at the time). They did try to mention a few alternatives which were unfortunately very different colours and fabric types.
So we travelled back to the store to pick up new samples and choose again but then the replacement table arrived. In the end we had second thoughts after that whole experience - save ourselves the time/effort and go with something else.
EDIT 4th March 2026: Second table collected 13th February and still not refunded. That’s two and a half weeks. Consumer Rights Act says two weeks is a reasonable time frame. Loaf support team say they are looking into it and asking the accounts team. Loaf continues to surprise in just how useless the support is. Surely a refund is standard practice? It should not need multiple follow ups from a customer, it should just happen. Loaf replied to this review to say they want to make things right / build trust, yet they still cannot do basic things correctly as a business.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m sorry for the disappointment and frustration caused by your experience.
What you describe regarding the quality and finish of the tables you received is clearly not the standard we aim to deliver. Variations in natural materials like wood are expected, but large visible fills, inconsistent colouring, and a noticeable difference from the Shack. I fully understand why this led to a loss of confidence and I apologise that our quality control did not meet expectations on this occasion.
I understand your decision to seek an alternative after such a disappointing experience. If you would be willing, we would welcome the chance to discuss this further and see if there is anything we can do to restore your confidence in us.
Warm regards,
Manny.

A very positive shopping experience.
The approach from the staff from the moment you enter the store is relaxed and totally non-pushy and so it is easy to ask questions and try everything out without any pressure. I did order a chair and later changed my mind about the fabric. One phone call sorted this out and the order was changed with no fuss.

I spoke with Fabiana virtually at the St Albans branch. Fabiana was very helpful and gave me a virtual tour and sent me a photo of the colour I was interested in laying on the Brioche sofa . I live North of Norwich so it is difficult finding time to get to St Albans in the time scale the sale was on. Fabiana also talked me through the cushions and the filling.

It’s great to hear Fabiana was able to support you virtually from our St Albans branch, and that the tour, photos and guidance on cushions and fillings helped you feel confident in your choice — especially with the distance involved.
I’m so pleased the experience worked well for you.

Knowledgeable staff and welcoming. Very clear instructions about Loaf protocols.
I would like to mention Rosina(St Albans, about to move to Chelmsford ), who dealt with me on two occasions and was excellent.
I have bought many items from Loaf in the past and found all aspects of the service good.

Huge thank-you to Rosina, St Albans
Cannot praise Rosina (St Albans) too highly. Helpful, informed, professional and tolerant - we asked more inane questions than we should. Plus providing advice that was spot-on, covering subjects that we'd not thought about, but should have. Many, many thanks.

Great experience on sofa shopping
I had already looked at the website and ordered sample swatches for my colour choices before I went to the store.
The St Albans store was well laid out and the staff very helpful and left me to wander around on my own.
When I had made my decision with fabrics and sofa choice, the sales team were great. I was assisted by Sirisha who confirmed all my order and explained delivery timeframe.
All in all a great experience and a nice touch with bottles of water and biscuits 👍🏻. Wish I had brought my dog as he could have tried out the dog beds!

Was able to do most of our research online. This was followed by a quick trip to your beautifully laid out and welcoming store where our chosen sofa could be tested out for comfort and some final measurement, and the fabric selected irl. Transaction carried out there and then with helpful and friendly staff member.
