Avoid This Store

Avoid This Store – Pushy Sales Tactics and Fake Discounts!If I could give zero stars, I would. We went to Seats and Sofas just to look around and check the sizing and comfort of different couches. From the very beginning, we explicitly told the sales staff that we were not looking to buy immediately—just browsing. However, the salespeople were extremely pushy and completely ignored our wishes.They started by quoting a ridiculous price of €4500 for a couch with our preferred seating and fabric choice (which wasn’t even the most expensive option!). Despite making it very clear that we were just looking, they followed us around, constantly pressuring us to buy. They kept claiming that their “special discount” was only available that day and that we would never get such a good offer again.We repeatedly stated that we needed time to think and that our budget was between €1000-1500. Yet, instead of respecting that, they suddenly dropped the price to €3500, then €2400, and when we still refused, they magically dropped it to €1700—all in a desperate attempt to get us to buy on the spot. The whole experience felt like a shady backroom deal rather than a legitimate furniture store.When we stood firm and refused to be rushed into a decision, they told us we could come back the next day but only for the €2400 price—not the €1700 they had just offered. This confirmed our suspicion that the “one-day discount” was a complete scam to pressure people into impulse buying.We left frustrated, angry, and having wasted two hours of our time. Later, we found the exact same couches for under €2000 elsewhere—brand new and without fake discounts. After reading online reviews, we discovered that many customers had missing parts, wrong deliveries, or never received their furniture at all!Do yourself a favor—stay far away from this scammy business! You’ll get a better deal and a far less stressful experience elsewhere.
