Bespoke order

We ordered bespoke sized table legs. These arrived in good time. We were extremely pleased with the quality. I would recommend this company and we will use them again without hesitation.

Great communication and put customer service at the forefront they genuinely do, helped massively in ensuring what I required could be met. Delivery wise was fine and always responded to messages and the packing they put into ensuring no damage can occur was amazing. Honestly will be using over and over again.

Avoid this company

Waited six weeks for our order. Cancelled it but they sent it anyway. They wouldn't accept a return as part of the order was custom. That item was not what we ordered, it was the wrong height. Company still refusing return and say they will no longer communicate with us. Absolutely dreadful, appalling company.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points regarding this matter.

The order placed was fully customised and manufactured to your specific requirements. We have no record of any request to cancel the order prior to production, and once completed, the item was dispatched accordingly.

Our first point of contact from you was received months after delivery, which falls outside of our stated returns period.

As a gesture of goodwill and in an effort to resolve the matter, we have offered a replacement for the order; however, this offer was declined.

Ordered pipework shelves

Ordered pipework shelves. Matt helped calculate dimensions. Arrived quickly, exceptionally well packed and have made an excellent value, practical centrepiece in my new, small kitchen. Delighted.

Disappointed with recent order

I placed an order for two freestanding clothes rails on 6 December 2025, expecting this to be a straightforward purchase. Unfortunately, it has been anything but.
I was given three separate delivery dates, none of which were met, and no delivery ever arrived. Attempts to get help via the website’s web chat were unsuccessful. I then phoned the shop directly, only to be told they could not locate my order. I was later informed that the courier had lost it and that the order would be resent.
Several days later, I finally received a delivery. However, the order should have arrived in three parcels, and only two were delivered. Once again, no one could tell me where the third parcel was. The courier used was FedEx.
On a Friday afternoon, I phoned Pipedreams Furniture and was told they would contact FedEx and call me back. No call was received. Despite the website stating the business is open at weekends, I received no response. I then had to personally visit FedEx to enquire about my missing parcel.
When I contacted Pipedreams Furniture again on the Monday to explain the situation, staff appeared unaware of the issue and had no record of my Friday call. I was then told that my delivery would arrive on Tuesday, 23 December. Once again, nothing arrived, and there was no follow-up or communication from Pipedreams Furniture.
I have now informed them that if my full order is not delivered by tomorrow, I will be requesting a full refund.
This is without question the worst customer service and delivery experience I have ever had. It is particularly disappointing, as I am in the process of furnishing a large new-build home and this could have led to significant future business. After this experience, however, that is no longer an option.

Don’t buy from this company if you expect any level of customer service

Don’t buy from this company if you expect some kind of service and the delivery courier they use is DX not one of the more reliable companies.
I paid for next day delivery, had an email from DX but then the order didn’t arrive.
So far I’ve called 3 times to Pipe Dream and the customer service person has just put the phone down on me as I asked for a replacement to be sent out. It’s their legal obligation to do so but she kept repeating the same line that the courier company is ‘looking’ for my parcel then admitted that the company takes over an hour to get through to them. At no point did I believe her and when I asked her to send a replacement she put the phone down on me! I’m so shocked and would not recommend anyone uses this business. She’s very good at arguing ao I suspect they get a lot of complaints..

Hi Clare,

We are very sorry that this experience has resulted in a negative review, but we do need to clarify the facts.

Your order was placed on the 15th at 10:54pm with a next working day delivery service. As per the service selected, the item was dispatched on the 16th, for delivery on the 17th. This can be clearly seen on the courier tracking, which shows that we shipped the order on time and in full.

Unfortunately, DX failed to complete the delivery. This was a courier issue outside of our control, not a failure to dispatch. As soon as we were made aware, we raised an investigation with DX and also arranged for the item to be resent using an alternative courier to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

During multiple phone calls to our office, our staff were spoken to in an abusive and aggressive manner. We have been trading for many years and this is the first time we have ever had to terminate a call. We do not tolerate verbal abuse towards our team under any circumstances.

We are always happy to help and to put things right when issues arise, but we expect conversations to remain respectful. Shouting at staff and making accusations does not change the reality of a courier delay, nor does it reflect how we conduct our business.

We always aim to provide a high level of service and the vast majority of our customers receive their orders on time and without issue. We regret that this situation escalated, but we do stand by how it was handled and by our commitment to supporting our team as well as our customers.

Kind Regards,
Pipe Dream

Beautiful custom coffee table

I ordered a custom coffee table. I had so many questions and a gentleman named Matt patiently answered each of my emails promptly. The coffee table was made to order and delivered within around a week and a half of ordering. It’s absolutely beautiful and amazing quality! I wouldn’t hesitate to order again!

Paid for next day delivery and arrived 4 days later. Tried to reach out and customer service was very poor!

Paying £90 for pipe and flanges is enough but needed it quick… didn’t get it quick…. Won’t be using this lot again !

Hi Andrew,

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the delivery time and your experience.

We have asked for your order number or the email address used at checkout so we can locate the order and investigate exactly what happened, but we have not received this information yet. Without those details, we are unfortunately unable to look into the delivery or liaise with the courier on your behalf.

Next day delivery applies once an item has been dispatched, and while we always aim to meet the selected service, delays can occasionally occur with third-party couriers. That said, we are more than happy to review this for you and address any issues appropriately once we can identify the order.

Please do get back in touch with your order number or email address, and we will look into this right away and assist however we can.

Kind regards,
Pipe Dream

Good quality sturdy materials

Great sturdy wall mounted shelves with reclaimed wood and industrial pipes. Just what I was looking for. The clothes rail I ordered to go with it wasn’t quite so stable. But after contacting the store, we came up with an ideal solution to resolve the issue. Shipping is quite fast as order are dispatched the same day. Building instructions are provided via PDF, so you need to be a bit handy with a tape measure and tools.

Hi John,

We are sorry to see this review, as it does not reflect what actually happened with your order.

I personally spoke with you on the phone and amended the order for you, despite the review stating this was not possible. The order was then completed and has since been delivered to you.

It is also clearly stated on the product page that this particular item is sent to a third-party specialist for brass finishing, which does add to the lead time compared to standard items. This was explained at the time of ordering and again during our phone conversation.

We always aim to be as transparent as possible with lead times and to help where we can, and in this case we did exactly that. If you have any outstanding concerns now that the item has arrived, we would of course be happy to discuss them with you directly.

Kind Regards,
Pipe Dream

Decent product. Delivery issues. Poor instructions

We bought a handrail and fittings. Due to be delivered on 13/11. Finally arrived 10 days later - Fed Ex are hopeless. Good quality product but the instructions are irritatingly thin...and genuinely unhelpful.
Looking at other reviews it looks like it is the additional details that let the company down but with such an expensive product, these matter too!

Delivery challenges and not as described

I’ve now had two orders with Pipe Dream Furniture, and the experience has been extremely frustrating.

The first order was partially delayed with no updates from the company; the missing items only turned up the following week without explanation. The second order, placed just two weeks later, was dumped outside our property without anyone ringing the doorbell, repeating the same poor delivery practice from the first order.

While the first batch of products was good quality, the second batch of shelving and stair rail (ordered in exactly the same “medium oak”) arrived in a completely different shade more akin to gothic. There was no mention of any colour change on the website or during the sales process. When we requested a refund for items clearly not as described, the company tried to argue that statutory consumer rights don’t apply to custom orders; essentially attempting to mislead the customer and avoid their legal obligations.

The sales team were polite and generally helpful, but it’s clear that the after-sales process is designed to make it difficult for customers to return items that don’t match the description. Manufacturing and logistics might be okay, but the delivery failures and misleading handling of statutory rights make the overall experience very poor.

I cannot recommend Pipe Dream Furniture based on these repeated issues.

Order #1219999

Update: Contrary to the below response, credit was never offered - this is simply an attempt to save face. Furthermore, they've leveraged this review to stop all correspondence to resolve the matter, so this is now being handled through a section75 claim.

Hi Miro,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry to hear how frustrating the experience has been for you. This is absolutely not the level of service we want any customer to receive.

Regarding the delays: the courier did unfortunately hold the order longer than expected, and we apologise again for the lack of communication around this. As soon as we became aware, we pushed to get the items delivered as quickly as possible. We also agree that deliveries should never be left without knocking, and we have raised this directly with the courier to ensure it does not happen again.

On the colour issue: all of our pieces are handmade to order, and normally bespoke items aren’t eligible for return under statutory guidelines. However, because of the inconvenience with the delivery and because the shade wasn’t what you expected, we offered a full replacement in your preferred colour, matched to your previous items, or full credit towards anything else on our site. We felt this was the fairest way to resolve the situation and ensure you received something you are happy with.

Our aim is always to be transparent and helpful, never to mislead, and I’m sorry if our explanation around custom orders came across that way. We truly value every customer and take your concerns seriously.

If you would like us to arrange the replacement or redeem your credit, we’re ready to help at any time.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope we can restore your confidence in us.

Kind regards,
Pipe Dream

Terrible

Terrible, two days off work waiting for a delivery which I don’t even think they have any intent on delivering.

Update the goods have arrived and excellent. I just don’t understand in such a competitive market how a company with a good product can let things get so bad to attract 1 ⭐ reviews. Someone needs to get a grip of the problem and sort this out

Hi Angela,

Thank you for updating your review and for confirming that the goods have now arrived and that you’re happy with the quality. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to add that.

We completely understand how frustrating it is to take time off work for a delivery that is delayed, and we were very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, once items leave our workshop, delivery times are dependent on the courier and delays can happen that are outside of our direct control. That said, we do always try to push couriers for updates and resolution where possible.

We would like to note that we have been unable to locate an order under the name Angela Briown, and we previously requested an order number or additional details so we could fully investigate this for you. Without that information, it limits what we can look into on our side.

We are glad to hear that you love the finished items, and we hope that, in light of the quality of the product received and the successful delivery, you might reconsider whether a one-star review fairly reflects the overall outcome.

Kind regards,
Pipe Dream

Hi Fred,

We’re very sorry to read this review and that you’re unhappy with your experience.

We have actively tried to look into this for you, however we’ve been unable to locate an order under the name “Fred Fred”. We’ve previously asked for either an order number or the full name and email address used when ordering so we can investigate the delivery delay and the issues you’ve mentioned, but we haven’t received a response.

If there was a delay in delivery, this would have been caused by the courier rather than our workshop, and we’re always happy to resolve colour or quality issues where we can identify the order. Unfortunately, without any order details, we’re unable to verify or correct what’s gone wrong.

We genuinely want to help and put this right. Please contact us directly with your order details and we will look into this immediately.

Kind regards,
Pipe Dream

Quality stair rail from Pipe Dream on the…

I came across Pipe Dream on the internet when I was looking to install a stair rail and wanted to see if the quality was the same as on their website so visited them in Dudley.

Customer service is excellent and I was looked after by Angel who deserves a mention for her patience. The choice of colours were enormous. The only change I had to make was to use longer screws than those supplied.

My delivery took a few days but I was notified by email when the courier would deliver.

Please try and visit the showroom if you can to truly appreciate what you will be buying. I now have a unique and quality piece of furniture for my stairs. 😊
