Gorgeous high quality home wares
Smooth ordering process, speedy delivery and absolutely beautiful high quality products. I ordered some woven trays and they are gorgeous! Will be ordering regularly!
I absolutely love Ella James
I absolutely love Ella James, everything I’ve bought from them has been beautiful — really great quality and exactly as pictured. You can tell a lot of care goes into what they do, from the design to the way everything’s packaged.
My order arrived quickly. The customer service has also been brilliant — friendly, helpful, and really quick to reply.
It’s rare to find a shop that has such lovely products and genuinely cares about its customers, but Ella James definitely does. I’ll 100% be ordering again!
Brilliant customer service and quick delivery
I ordered a toothbrush holder and some gorgeous home decorations for my baby’s nursery. So pleased with them! Delivery was quick and the service was amazing. Can’t recommend enough.

Absolutely loving my new throw
Absolutely loving my new throw – it's exactly what I’ve been looking for! The quality is excellent, and it arrived quickly with great packaging. I’m really impressed and will definitely be back for some of your fabulous festive products!
Excellent service
Excellent service, I ordered the pure Oakwood Single Bed, and I am really pleased with it. The packaging was great, and the customer service went above and beyond. I was contacted straight away about my order to arrange a suitable delivery time. Would really recommend!
DONT TRUST THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! - We have had a great experience!
I came to trust pilot to leave an amazing review of the beautiful Acacia Brooklyn Coffee table!
Saw all these terrible reviews and couldn’t help but snoop around (because I’ve had such a good experience) and discovered that it’s all for a different business in the USA!
For a review about the UK Ella James Home Decor store - We can’t rave enough about them!! Quality of the furniture is the best quality I’ve ever had to be honest.
Also, it came so quickly! I was expecting a long wait but it came within days. The team are super responsive as well, as I had a shipping question straight after I ordered and they got back to me more or less straight away!
Don’t trust some of the negative reviews on here! I’ve only had a great experience with them.
Fast delivery
Fantastic service from Ella James. The Nobodinoz bean bag arrived quickly and is even nicer than I expected!

I would give this 0 stars if I could
I would give this 0 stars if I could. The products are cheap, the customer service terrible, and the return policy a complete sham. There is nothing redemptive nor worth buying from this company.

Please be aware anyone purchasing from this company, I purchased a parasol on the 20th June it arrived around a week later when it was opened I noticed it was lop sided when standing in the base, when I looked more closely I noticed on one place the fabric was splitting and the spikes were bent which was why the fabric was showing signs of splitting. I sent this back at my cost as basically this is a cheap poor quality parasol for £150 so not a cheap price, I could have returned this as it is within the returns period but sent it back as faulty Ella James now trying to say I caused this fault as it has fallen over although no signs on the parasol of it falling over.
I sent them an email on the 23rd July, it is now 4th Aug and they have not answered nor have they refunded me for the parasol they now have the money and the parasol plus I have paid the carriage costs to return !
And no word from them - I cannot recommend this company their products appear cheap and not value for money.

Huge dissatisfaction with UK delivery service
Huge dissatisfaction with the recent UK delivery service for the baby bed I ordered - yes, a bed that costs £1000.
Unfortunately, the delivery experience was far from acceptable and caused a great deal of frustration.
Here is a summary of the issues encountered:
1. Lack of proper communication regarding delivery time
2. The delivery company failed to deliver the furniture to my flat
3. The situation became even more frustrating when the delivery driver left a large, heavy wooden piece behind. This piece was not part of the furniture package and should have been taken back by the delivery company. Now, my husband and I are left figuring out how to dispose of this item on our own, which I believe is entirely unreasonable.
In conclusion, the entire delivery process was extremely unpleasant, and it has led me to reconsider any future purchases. While there are several items I am still interested in buying from their website, this negative experience with the delivery partner gives me serious pause.
To Ellajames, I would recommend reconsidering your choice of UK delivery partner, as the experience they provide can severely impact your customers' overall satisfaction. Based on this experience alone, I am hesitant to place future orders.
Update after seeing Ellajames reply: 1. Please reconsider choosing your UK delivery partner; 2. The delivery man told me, in a rude way, that he does not work at 2-4pm so it was not possible to stick with the original schedule. He also said that Ellajames should not decide the delivery time. 3. Your responses afterwards does not change the fact that the delivery service was terrible, unfortunately.

Ordered a baby bed & mattress the timing of delivery was impeccable and service was outstanding. Spoke directly with Ashley Todd who was understanding and listened to my concerns especially after being messed around by another company. She delivered on what she promised. Kept me promptly updated and i’m a very satisfied customer. 100% recommend and will definitely order from here again. Thank you Ashley!
Ordered a bed, excellent customer serivce
I ordered a baby bed and regretted my decision the day after. I read the reviews here and panicked because I thought I would never get my money back. But I contacted customer service in the morning, and they were so helpful and immediately gave me my money back. This experience was outstanding, and now I regret not keeping my order.

Pre ordered a product on the 9th Jan with an estimated shipping of mid January. I've emailed on 30th Jan and 7th Feb to ask for updates and had nothing back. Despite having two emails from DPD saying they are expecting my parcel. Either reply to emails timely or don't have one! Still no idea where my order is and my daughter's birthday is next week.
terrible customer service
Shame I hadn’t seen the reviews previously . Ella James sent my egg chair to my billing address rather than shipping address. Tried to contact customer service 16 times this morning and no luck. They say they open at 0930 but they definitely don’t. PLEASE do NOT buy from them

Dont even bother if your outside of the UK to look at this company. Website took order even though I checked and it stated shipping to Europe USA etc and now she says it needs crating. Im sorry but most of your product is furniture - am I the first person thats wanted to buy something from you. BTW it was a bar cart made of metal and glass. I asked them to change their website to state what they can and cannot ship. She seemed aggravated that I the customer whose money been taken for the sale was telling her she wasted my time as a designer by not being clear. I expect this from low end company and I suppose thats what they are. Don't waste your time with them. They are picking and chosing what orders to ship. As a designer - I would not recommend this company.

Excellent service and product,was a little unsure about using this company after reading the reviews , but I had nothing to worry about, I was in constant communication with the company via chat on their website with regards to delivery , when the egg chair arrived it was well packaged , good quality item and also I had 15 % off when i put in a code at the end of the transaction , very happy would definantly use again , thankyou Ella James
Very Poor Customer Service
Recently placed a multi item order (Xmas Gifts). On arrival I found 1 of the items was badly damaged, not unusual, often happens. The unusual bit was that there was no debris in the packaging indicating that the "Picker" knowingly dispatched a clearly broken item. As an EU customer we pay Shipping, Customs, Duty and Currency charges, EJ decided, without consultation, that a straight refund of the item cost was sufficient without offering any alternative. I requested that they ship an alternative item but they refused on the bases that the original had been refunded. Very disappointed as generally the quality of their items is very good, hence the 2 Stars. This is a Company that needs to review its Customer Service Dept.
