Raft Furniture

A different sort of furniture shop. two floors of everything from made-in-uk sofas to teak beds, desks, room dividers, chunky tables--plus accessories (lamps, pictures, mirrors). friendly service too.

Staff here are always friendly and available to provide assistance when you want it, it's never forced upon you. a vast range of high quality products on offer. i just ordered a sofa. the staff went above and beyond showing me fabric samples and even sent me a few extra in the post for me to review. cannot wait to receive the new sofa.

Stumbled across this shop in clifton without realizing what a spectacular treasure i would find. i've paid my deposit yesterday and have obviously not received my custom built sofa yet but felt so positive about my experience that i wanted to let other people know. i was a little worried as the shop is new to me but business friends of mine on the same road say the shop has been there sometime. i have been in and out of the shop several times to carry out several "comfort tests" and taken my partner in as she needs to have the final say, as a graduate in textile and design she was very impressed with the quality of the material. we have a very specific size for our corner unit as we want to maximize on our space. the team at raft offer alterations to there range for a small extra charge which will give us a one off bespoke sofa, with a great guarantee and the price is somewhere between an "off the shelf" modular sofa from next and one we where looking at in furniture village. the final and in my opinion the best part of my experience was the friendly and "non pushy" attitude of the staff in the shop. i felt supported and welcomed even though i made it quite clear on my 1st visit that i was carrying out a recce of all the major and independent furniture retailers in the bristol area. after doing that i quickly returned to raft and really drilled down into the product range, sizes and styles. i have now placed my order and cant wait to see the finished item. there are some beautiful items of furniture in the shop and i will defiantly be back, matching pair of welsh dressers next i think.

Love, love, love raft furniture. i bought a loft couch/bed this year and it is the best couch i have ever owned. the shop in bristol is brilliant, the staff so helpful. i asked for a plastic free delivery, i have a granddaughter who would like a greener future, and they delivered in sofa bags, the kind used when moving house. no other british made sofa company cared enough about the environment to even consider this basic request. thanks alex for that first consultation where you listened and took me seriously, i nearly cried i had been searching for so long. thanks amy for all your help during fabric choice (beautiful italian stain proof fabric). thank you.
