Expert Knowledge

Peace of Mind

Spread the Cost

After 85 years and three generations of Mackay’s running the company, our business still trades on its promise to provide quality products and the highest standard of service. A warm welcome awaits.

Over the years we have built up a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of furniture retailing. We can offer you expert advice on choosing the right furniture to suit your requirements.

We pride ourselves on our personable customer service. We like to build a rapport with our customers and look after them. This is why our customers return time after time.

In order to help you spread the cost of your furniture, we’re delighted to be able to offer finance options when you buy in-store. Term available is dependent on total value of sale.

Mackay's like-for-like price promise

In the unlikely event of you being offered the same goods or services anywhere else – on the same terms and conditions — at lower than Mackay’s prices, we promise to match those prices when you order and reward you for your vigilance.

100% No Quibble Guarantee

Rick and I are passionate about furniture. It’s what we do.

We spend half of our lives travelling the world sourcing the very finest products for our showroom. We visit craftsmen and factories all over the globe, immersing ourselves in every aspect of our trade.

We are totally committed and now possess an understanding and knowledge about furniture that we believe few could match.

That’s why our customers enjoy some of the most beautiful and innovative furniture on offer today.

So, can you imagine the extreme embarrassment when earlier in the year I moved house and ordered a suite that really didn’t look as good as we had hoped, when we put it in our family room!

We got it wrong!! It happens. Even to the professionals…

But, it did me a favour, in a way. Because it got Rick and I talking about how we could help our customers if they got it horribly wrong as well…

So, we came up with the Mackay 100% No Quibble Guarantee.

It’s simple. In the unlikely event that after you’ve had your goods for a week, you feel you have made a mistake, just call us and we’ll help you solve the problem. We will collect the furniture and you can order replacement goods from ourselves to the same value.

And, to save on masses of terms and conditions – all we ask is for a handling charge of 20% and a “fair use policy” of this guarantee.

Night or Day, have it your way

24/7 Delivery

We believe that we offer the most refreshing and customer-friendly delivery service available today.

How have we achieved this? Simply by asking our customers what they want – and providing it.

Irritations and problems with deliveries have been resigned to history. You will receive your delivery when YOU want it. Not when WE want to deliver.

Here’s how we work… When your goods arrive at the warehouse, we will…

1. Contact you to notify you that your goods have arrived.

2. Discuss a day and a time for delivery to suit you.

3. We will ensure that delivery is made at a time that is convenient for you. This means even
late at night or early in the morning… 24/7!!!

We can do this because we are a family run independent furniture store with our own warehouse and delivery operation. We employ our own team of trained drivers and technicians ensuring customers enjoy the very highest of standard.

So, not only will we be on time, but we also show great care and attention at the point of delivery. Here’s what our delivery staff will do, when we deliver your goods:

  • Pre-inspect the room before delivering goods
  • Place the furniture exactly where you want it
  • Fit all handles, castors etc
  • Take away and dispose of all packaging

Service with a smile. Every time!
