Really disappointing experience. I went in to buy a 6-seater set priced at £999, only to be told that two chairs were missing. The staff offered a £200 discount, which we declined as we wanted the f... See more

Written by the company

First of all, welcome to Chiltern Oak, what took you so long? Actually it doesn’t matter, what matters is that you’re here now and with a bit of luck this will be the start of a wonderful, fulfilling relationship between the two of us. We'd love it if you took a couple of minutes to find out a bit more about us, who we are, why we do what we do and why we're confident you're going to love us. If you want to learn more, just pick up the phone, our guys would love to chat to you. Here at Chiltern Oak we’re a family-run business from Peterborough. An online-only business since 2014, in March 2022 we opened our first physical retail store in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire. Irthlingborough, a rural town on the banks of the River Nene, just a stones throw from the picturesque market town of Higham Ferrers and historic Finedon, is the perfect first location for us. It’s an area that doesn’t just aspire to rural, country living, the kind of lifestyle we have always sought to promote. It lives and breathes it. We understand that homes are for living. From drawers that cut out the clutter, to TV units that tame wires gone wild, our furniture leaves you with more time to kick back and relax after a long walk or home cooked Sunday roast. Our ranges help elevate homes to new levels of beautiful and practical. You’re in safe hands when you’re choosing Chiltern Oak. We know quality never goes out of fashion. That’s why our furniture is crafted with care from premium materials and hand-picked by specialists. We’re experts, not salespeople. That means our caring customer services team are on hand to help you find the final piece of the puzzle to your home, not a show home. Plus, we’ll deliver straight to your door, free of charge, with a hassle-free returns policy if something's not quite right.

Anyway your team were excellent and resolved the issue. Very pleased with our purchase and our previous purchase. Thank you carol holding

Advertised stock never existed. Waste of time

We were looking for a nest of tables and the website showed that two were available in stock, so we ordered one. We then received an email telling us that it was actually out of stock and asking if we would like to wait for stock to come in, in about 4 weeks. We said yes, but no-one contacted us so after 4 weeks, we emailed Chiltern Oak Furniture to find out when we would receive the item. Only then were we told that the item was no longer available, so we waited 4 weeks for nothing. We didn't want a substitute item, so asked for compensation for the inconvenience - and were ignored. Wouldn't use this company again.

Helpful people on phone, easy ordering, prompt delivery and little cupboard well packaged. Cupboard exactly as described and true to photo. Perfect for our small hallway with a basket each for shoes!

You do not receive a delivery notice 48 hours before

I was told by email when I made my order ‘You will be contacted in due course by our delivery team directly at least 48 hours before delivery, usually via text message, advising the exact date and a 3-hour time slot.’ This did not happen. I received a text message on 14/06/23 at 7am advising that the delivery would take place in 1 hour which gave me no time to move the existing wardrobe out of the way which I would have done with 48 hours advanced warning. I was late for work because I hadn’t been able to book time off which I would have done if I had received notice 48hours before like I was supposed to. The text message also had the incorrect order number so I believed it to be a scam. I am not happy with this service at all and would not recommend using this company if you would like any communication before delivery

Furniture arrived damaged

Furniture arrived damaged. Insufficient and poorly packed. We then had to wait a week for the Furniture to be collected and start the refund process. There was then a lack of communication between chiltern oak and novuna finance for the agreement to be cancelled and then another 4 weeks before I received my deposit refund. The Furniture is made in China to poor standard.

Not Impressed First and Only time ordering

First and only time ordering from this company. Wooden TV stand received damage on both occaisions and in the same places. The product clearly not well built. Having to wait until delivery company come back again and collect the faulty item to their warehouse before I am refunded not good enough.

Out of stock items and delayed refund

Purchased 2 items which were in stock online. Then got an email telling me they weren’t in stock after all. Annoying. Then was told despite them taking my money the instant I placed the order, I’d now have to wait 3-10 days for my refund! Appalling customer service. At least have the decency to refund immediately when the error is entirely yours. Poorly done Chiltern Oak Furniture

I bought a Hampshire ivory painted oak…

I bought a Hampshire ivory painted oak wardrobe from Chiltern oak furniture (online furniture UK Ltd). The website states that SOME assembly is required. Do not be fooled, this is a flat pack that needs two people to assemble it. The company have told me that as the door section is pre built and the doors do not have to be hung, the wardrobe only needs some assembly. The doors are out of alinement and one is stuck. There are well over fifty screws to put in. Some of the holes are not in alinement, the Allen key provided is not up to the job. Because this item stated some assembly I assumed that I would not need the assembly service that is offered at an extra cost. I kept the wardrobe but will never use this company again because the wording was misleading to me. Not worth the money.
