I must caution anyone thinking of…
I must caution anyone thinking of purchasing a sofa from this company to do thorough due diligence into the acquiring company Inc & Co. In particular, I'd recommend articles written by The Times, Big Issue North and The Business Desk.
Update 04.03.23.
Sadly, despite their tactics to silence customers that have just reason to feel manipulated, deceived and anxious because of their use of legal threats of injunction the company continues their PR campaign to present a different face to the public than the one that lies behind the mask.

Over £7000 stolen
Like others, I am out multiple thousands of ££££ on a bespoke sofa that was ordered in the spring of 2022. I sent my own fabric to them and they wont return it. So not only are they in breach of contract on my order but they have essentially stolen goods that are not part of the assets currently with the liquidators. I email and email and call and call and no one replies. If you are in a similar situation contact FRP Advisory, they have been nominated as the liquidator for the company.
Quick update as of March; Maker and Sons has tried to take down this review claiming it's not legitimate, yet never contacting me directly. I have sent all relevant documentation to them. So clearly they are more worried about hiding what they have done to customers rather than dealing with the mess directly.
UPDATE: we still don't have our sofa. The fabric we sent them they lost and are tell us, while the new company ( Hastings) will honour orders, they cant make our sofa because they wont replace the lost fabric. Mind you Maker & Sons lost the fabric during the business reshuffle. So they want us to pay for the replacement fabric (£3000) all over again. Insult to injury.
Update: I finally got my sofa!! Hastings who now makes all the sofas was wonderful. It took over a year and a half but this has finally been resolved.

Faulty products and poor customer service
Do not buy from this company. Faulty product. I purchased the loveseat. The cushions are flat after an hour sitting in them. The couch is so uncomfortable, it feels like we’re sitting in the ground. Every day yo i have to constantly fluff up the cushions. Badly made and produced. Clearly 100percent goes into advertizing and not the product. I wish I never wasted my money. I have been told replacement cushions would be couriered over 8 months ago when M&S agreed that the couch was not right. I keep getting excuses when they actually respond to my email. As of today my latest two email have not been responded to.
If anyone from maker and son is reading this please contact me. You have my details.

I bought a sofa which took twice as long to arrive as promised. Then it was the wrong size! It was remade. The cushions are very lumpy, uneven and uncomfortable. Sofa cost NINE GRAND and should have been "the most comfortable sofa in the world" as their advertising states.
I was promised replacement cushions last April and have been trying to chase them ever since. So... I've bought a sofa that cost the same as a car and hate sitting on it because it is so uncomfortable. MAKERS please replace my cushions like you promised!!!

I am still waiting on my sofas… ordered in November with 3 week delivery time. Then found out the company had gone into liquidation- no mention of this on the website when we ordered, and nothing from the team in the initial communication about our order either about the difficulties within the company. Despite phoning (phone lines never open) and emailing relentlessly I have had only one email back where the details of my order were incorrect and one further email after correcting the details to say delivery within a week- this was before Christmas and still no sign. Phone lines are closed even during opening hours listed online and no answer to emails. Appalling.

Getting beyond a joke
I bought 2 sofas which were delivered in July having ordered them in May. The covers were different colours (although they were supposed to be the same) so I was told they would send 2 new matching covers. Have I got them? No. It’s now January and not a word from maker&son since October having been promised they would be ready by the end of December. Quite frankly this is a joke. Even when I tried to submit a form on their website I find that even that doesn’t work. Total mess. The star rating for this company says it all.

Just about the worst customer service I…
Just about the worst customer service I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. Took my order and my money knowing full well they were going through liquidation. Never delivered it. Despite promises of a response to calls and emails in 72 hours, I got nothing. Eventually I get a reply explaining my sofa had been in a warehouse which the legal team had taken possession of but they are sorting it and will keep me updated every 2 weeks - no offer of a refund. After that I had no replies to my emails for 6 weeks, and all they did say at that point was a copy and paste of another email which mentions no deliveries before Christmas - they sent it the middle of January!!! Despite a promise to keep me updated every two weeks I have heard nothing in 8 weeks. I am totally outraged at the appalling customer service. It's not hard to reply to an email or a phone call or send an email with an update. I am now trying to retrieve my money via chargeback through my bank. Whatever you thought about Maker and Son, they are not who they used to be and they are USELESS. I used to dream about having a Maker and Son sofa, now I wouldn't touch them with a barge poll. I will NEVER buy from these people again. Ignore the glossy advertising. Read the other reviews. Their customer service is not existent. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Hello Brenda,
We are sorry that you have had to make contact with us on Trustpilot in order to get an update on your order. We have been regularly emailing our customers with updates on a significant change to the business this year which has caused disruption to our operations. We have also published a help page on our website which details the very complex changes that have occurred. This can be accessed via the footer of our homepage, or here: https://makerandson.com/pages/disruption-to-orders.
Essentially, the company that previously owned Maker&Son (Maker&Son Ltd/MSOLD1) with who you have placed your order, has recently been liquidated and is no longer operating. We are no longer part of this company and all customer funds and contracts have been liquidated.
However, in our new company, Maker&Son Ops Ltd and with the rights to the Maker&Son Brand and IP, we plan to continue fulfilling these customer orders at our own cost which would otherwise be left unfulfilled and go without compensation. There will, however, be significant delays to the dates originally promised.
While response times are currently much slower than usual, the best way to get in touch with our Customer Service Team is via email at customerservice.uk@makerandson.com, where the team will be able to update you.
Best Wishes,
The Maker&Son Team

Contact the Administrator We ordered a number of sofas back in…
We ordered a number of sofas back in May and as you may guess nothing has arrived and we can't get hold of FRP who have been appointed administrator/liquidator of Maker & son They informed me that they were in administration but as of today they are in liquidation. They have written to the creditors that they know about but the company have not been co-operative so they are likely to be missing a lot. Worth getting in touch with them and noting your claim.
Good luck
“Ops” have responded by asking me to contact them on the usual email which we like everyone else have sent numerous messages to with no reply. I have zero trust in the company and just want my deposit back.
Having just read your reply of Dec 16 I contacted the liquidators who were interested in your post as they informed me they have not yet received all the relevant information and have not yet made any announcement regarding distribution.
They also advise all creditors to pursue a refund through their credit card company if that option is available to them.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry that recent changes to the business have impacted negatively on our customers. Since the brand changed hands in August, there have been very complex challenges for the company to overcome with the situation changing from week to week. This has made it difficult to communicate and provide clarity to our customers, who, as we now understand, were already at the receiving end of a poor experience.
Unfortunately, communication with the liquidators through the legal channels has been extremely slow, however, we have provided them with everything they now need to conclude their process. Unfortunately, due to the extensive debt that had been built up in the previous company (Maker&Son Ltd/MSOLD1), any funds that are raised by the liquidators will be used to repay the largest of creditors, Barclays, and customers are unlikely to receive any compensation.
While it is taking a substantial amount of time to rectify, we (Maker&Son Ops Ltd) with the global rights to the Brand and IP for Maker&Son, are absolutely still active and are committed to fulfilling all customer orders, no matter the cost and necessary length of time it takes to deliver on this promise. We have been making significant improvements internally and financially since the acquisition and although negative feedback is hard for us to read, your feedback is so incredibly important in helping us build upon these improvements and to move things forward.
We have recently published a public statement online as well as launched a help page on our UK website to help answer as many of the questions we have received as possible and provide as much clarity as possible.

Hello Kat,
We are really sorry that you have had to make contact with us on Trustpilot in order to get an update on your order - thank you for bringing this to our attention.
In November, as part of the legal process to liquidate Maker&Son Ltd/MSOLD1 (previous owners of the Maker&Son Brand), liquidators stopped all movement of items in or out of the distribution centre while they worked to determine which 'assets' (including furniture) needed to be liquidated. This has caused delays to deliveries that had been planned or scheduled which are now being worked through with our delivery partner to be delivered as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, a small number of customer orders are being held with the liquidators who now have control over the distribution centre. Communication with the liquidators through the legal channels has been extremely slow; however, we have provided them with everything they need to conclude and allow us to continue to deliver orders currently in their possession.
This very complex challenge has been changing from week to week which has made it very difficult to communicate accurately and provide clarity to our customers. We are absolutely committed to fulfilling orders, at our own cost, and although there are unavoidable delays, we aim to deliver on this promise.
We have been regularly emailing our customers with updates on the current disruption to our operations. We have also published a help page on our website which details the very complex changes that have occurred. This can be accessed via the footer of our homepage, or here: https://makerandson.com/pages/disruption-to-orders.

Shambolic - beware!
In September 2021 we placed an order for two large sofas and a footstool, promised delivery “probably just after Christmas”. Apparently “just after Christmas” meant late May 2022.
During the 8 month wait there was absolutely no communication, apart from requests for the next payment instalment – we thought the company had actually gone into receivership at one point because no-one was answering the phone (before the phone was answered but the person answering was never able to help).
Eventually the sofas and footstool arrived. They’re really not worth the wait or the cost – unlike the sofa on the Maker & Son website that the model is able to bounce on, the cushions sag and flatten as soon as you sit on them and have to be plumped each day before use.
We are so disappointed.
If you are still waiting for your sofas, learn from our experience and ask your bank for a chargeback. There are much better alternatives on the high street.

Hello David,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry that you are not happy with your furniture after such a long wait while the business went through some significant changes.
Since the brand changed hands in August, the company has had very complex challenges to overcome with the situation changing from week to week. This has made it difficult for our teams to communicate and provide clarity to our customers, who, as we now understand, were already at the receiving end of a poor experience.
We have been making significant improvements internally and financially since the acquisition and although negative feedback is admittedly hard for us to read, it is so incredibly important in helping us build upon these improvements and move things forward.
We would love to talk to you about the issues you have described in your review. The necessary upkeep of our product is detailed extensively throughout our website, however, this should have also been discussed with you by the sales teams to help manage expectation. Our furniture is not comparible to mass-produced furniture and does require an additional level of care and upkeep.
While response times are currently much slower than usual, please fo get in touch with our Customer Service Team via email at customerservice.uk@makerandson.com, who will be happy to look further into this for you.

They fail to respond to emails asking specific questions they just send generic responses and when you call they just say leave a message and someone will call you back which hasn’t happened.
Really disappointed at the lack of customer service, I’ve emailed cancelling our order and asking for a refund but no response. Would never recommend anyone ordering from this company.

I am so disgusted with this company
I am so disgusted with this company. My wife and I ordered a sofa from them back in May, incredibly what must have just been a matter of days before they headed south for administration. We didn't hear anything for a couple of months and then reached out only to find out that they'd gone into administration but had new owners inc. and co. Mid September we received an email from one of their hipsterly sounding 'sales fulfilment executives' applauding my wife for our 'stoic' patience!!! We stoicly.... waited some more and I chased 2 days ago. Our sales fulfilment executive has disappeared, her number is unobtainable, the live chat on the website doesn't work, the phone number just cuts you after telling you there's nobody home and Inc. and co. are no better. How they still have a live website is beyond me. So easy for thieves to prevail in this world today! A truly horrific experience!

AVOID AVOID AVOID

This company sells 'the dream' but is a total con and has £5000 of my client's money.
We placed an order back in June and paid a large deposit - promised a pre Christmas delivery. They have now severed all forms of communication with us - despite leaving 8 voicemails, 4 emails, Instagram DMs, commenting on Instagram posts and attempting Live Chat there is still NO response. For the last week their phone lines have been switched off so we are unable to even leave a voicemail.
What makes it worse is they are still trying to sell products on their Instagram with glossy lifestyle imagery - Maker & Son are crooks and have let down so many people. It appalls me that they are still trying to take people's money with no intention of delivering the goods.

Since the brand changed hands in August, the company has had very complex challenges to overcome with the situation changing from week to week. This has made it difficult to communicate and provide clarity to our customers, who, as we now understand, were already at the receiving end of a poor experience.
We feel it is important to clarify that we are no longer part of the previous company, Maker&Son Ltd/MSOLD1, which is now under the control of liquidators. However, our new company (Maker&Son Ops Ltd) with the rights to the global Brand and IP and is continuing to trade lawfully.
While it is taking a substantial amount of time to rectify, we are open for business and committed to fulfilling all customer orders, no matter the cost and necessary length of time it takes to deliver on this promise. We have been making significant improvements internally and financially since the acquisition and although negative feedback is hard for us to read, your feedback is so incredibly important in helping us build upon these improvements and move things forward.
We have recently published a public statement online as well as launched a help page on our UK website to help answer as many of the questions we have received as possible and provide as much clarity as possible. This can be accessed via the footer of our homepage, or here: https://makerandson.com/pages/disruption-to-orders.
While response times are currently much slower than usual, the best way to get in touch with our Customer Service Team is via email at customerservice.uk@makerandson.com, who will be happy to look further into your experience with you.
Best Wishes,
The Maker&Son Team
