Strachan Anmeldelser 

Communication was a nightmare start to finish. They failed to send out documents, confirmation of order etc. The surveyor did not bother to actually measure up or review properly, missing electrical inputs and meaning when the fitter came the parts did not fit. The installation had to be completed at a later date after much chasing.

Extremely premium pricing with low quality service. Shop elsewhere if you can!

UPDATE: Following leaving this review Strachans got in touch. After some internal discussion they wanted to highlight:

1. They do not offer compensation as a practice - even if their errors cost you time and money

2. They would consider offering a 'goodwill gesture' equivalent to about a 1.5% refund - but they would only consider this if I took this review down.

(They were very clear they did not want to position it as paying to take the review down... Just that if the review did come down they would be very open to making such a gesture, and otherwise they would not)

I would advise all potential buyers to consider this practice when they see the typically positive reviews on the webpage.

This company has a good reputation, but I take issue with their methods. I paid a deposit on the day of the salesman's visit on the basis of this reputation. The salesman repeatedly assuring me I could change anything. I informed the company that I wished to change a number of things, but the long and the short of it is that they failed to revert to me until after the cooling -off period (the existence of which was not mentioned until after it had passed) and when we were unable to agree on what I wanted at an appropriate price, they refused to let me cancel my order and return my deposit. Rather than enter a protracted court battle, I agreed to a compromise which has regrettably left me with a hideous (and very expensive) piece of furniture which I will have to paint (thereby incurring further expense) to disguise. Sad that a company like this pursue an outcome that was always likely to leave a dissatisfied customer, even if he is a fool who has been easily parted from his money.

I offer no criticism of the fitter or the construction of the furniture at all, but I am NOT a satisfied customer.

Excellent service from the company and staff. Fitter worked diligently with care and expertise.
We are delighted with the final result and quality of the furniture and units

Strachan Furniture fitted some wardrobes and a wall bed for us and we were delighted with the whole service and finished product. Lawrence the fitter was very professional, turned up on time, completed the job without any issues and left the room clean and tidy. We could not have asked for more and would not hesitate to recommend the company

Everyone was marvellous. I would recommend strachans to anyone wanting fitted furniture 100%. Every person involved was brilliant. I would definitely use them again, thank you guys xx

I had furniture fitted in my son’s bedroom and a shoe closet in the hallway by Lawrence from Strachan Furniture. The workmanship was great and I loved the design and the way the furniture was fitted and finished.
Lawrence paid attention to details and after his work he made sure that he left the place very tidy. He advised us on how to care for the furniture and reminded us about the furniture 10 year warrant.
My neighbour saw the work that was done and she too loved it and is planning to call Strachan in the near future for her own home furniture.

Very reliable with excellent quality product. All staff easily accessible, helpful and responsive. Designers and fitters adaptable to make sure the resulting furniture meets your wishes

I had bespoke wardrobes fitted by Strachan and am very happy with the service and the product. Everything ran as planned and the fitter was very hard working getting the work done in a day and a half. I would certainly recommend them

Over the past year I had had bespoke furniture designed and fitted in our master Bedroom, Living room and a his/hers Study. This is the second property where I have used Strachan.

The workmanship is OUTSTANDING. The fitters are top quality who have pride in their work. Also the support throughout the process from the admin staff was also top notch.

We are delighted with Strachan and rate them highly. Out of 5 stars I rate them 10 stars!

I had a library bookcases and ladder from Strachan and although there were several blips on the organisational side the product itself is fantastic and the fitter, Martin Wales, I cannot praise highly enough. He always arrived bang on time, was friendly, polite and incredibly hardworking. His professionalism was outstanding.

The service was excellent from start to finish and the after service continues to be the same. The speedy response times and professionalism from all of the people involved has been exceptional and my library is all I wished for,

Everyone I dealt with was helpful and offered good advice. Very importantly, the work programme set out at the beginning was maintained which allowed me to plan other activities in preparation for moving to a new flat. Gio, who fitted the furniture, was meticulous in his attention to detail and careful to ensure everything fitted properly.

We previously had Strachan furniture in our home office and decided to update the layout. We approached several companies however the Strachan designer gave us the most confidence and the layout he designed met our requirements. They are not the cheapest but the quality is great and the service we received from placing the order through to installation was excellent. Very pleased with the results.

Everything from the initial contact with the company, through the design process and the actual fitting of the handcrafted wardrobe has been an exemplary experience. The actual wardrobe furniture that has been fitted is beautifully crafted and the fitter, Aaron, was magnificent. He was professional, efficient and friendly throughout the whole process and completed an excellent job. Thanks to all involved at the company!

Follow up quarantine work went far beyond expectations. Matching products to ensure the colour. Well done indeed.

The original sales pitch was the most reassuring we received, though the quote was not the cheapest. We took our time considering but was not pressured to commit.
We were given a date and that was adhered too. Peter the installer turned up and stayed with us until completion, he worked from 8 until 6 each day and was obviously a craftsman, he like everyone we dealt with were considerate professionals. I am impressed enough to ask for a quotation for future work

Three years ago my late wife and I decided to move to a new apartment. The apartment we were leaving had bespoke shelving and cupboards fitted, by us, in a large hall area. We decided to try Strachan to make and fit similar wall units in the living room of our planned new apartment. It has taken 3 years, during which time my wife sadly died, to make this move but to a totally different apartment than that first intended. Strachan have kept abreast of all these changes and adapted design to suit changing needs and locations. The final units were fitted by an exceptionally good, and understanding carpenter known as "Gio". Even at this last stage he checked that my needs were being fully met and made small adjustments. The final result is both beautiful and practical. It accommodates both ornaments and books and even one lamp. Units have been designed to accept cables to any position needed to feed power to the lamp and the internet hub. Strachan may not be cheap but their design, quality and support have resulted in a top quality feature in my living room which has been well worth the wait and cost.

I could not be more pleased with how the fitted wardrobe looks. The installer of the wardrobe was excellent, he took the old wardrobe out and installed the new one with no damage to the surroundings at all. He was exceptionally careful, considerate and polite.

As soon as I saw the curved door on the Optima range, I knew that it was what I wanted for my guest bedroom which has a sofa bed and doubles as a sitting room. My contacts with Strachan were positive throughout, especially Georgina who was my main contact on the phone when I was making sure that the drawings were showing exactly what I wanted. Lawrence, the fitter, was excellent too, taking time to get everything spot on. He even phoned the cabinet maker to make sure that the magnetic catches on the curved door, which he had never fitted before, were going in the right places.
I am thrilled with the furniture and the grandchildren who came to help me fill the cupboards raved about the look and quality.
It was expensive but it was worth what I paid!

I had a problem with my folding wall bed becoming increasingly heavy to raise and lower, taking 2 people instead of one to do the job.
I contacted Strachan asking for advice on how any adjustments to the spring dampers could be made.
They got straight back to me saying the bed is still under the 5 yr warranty and arranged for an installation technician to visit free of charge.
The engineer came yesterday (August 20th 2025) and agreed it was exceptionally heavy.
He spent around half an hour making multiple adjustments and was finally satisfied with the operation, added me to test it and incredibly I can now lower the with virtually no assistance and raise it with minimal effort.
