Complete satisfaction
I've had absolute satisfaction with my recent purchase of a gate-leg table. The delivery was as stated and the product exactly what I wanted for my particular need. Also the delivery went without a hitch.

Furniture okay but disgraceful customer service
Furniture okay but customer service absolutely shocking. Firstly illegally shared my data by copying me and some other customers in on the same email. Then when the furniture arrived it caused scratches to my floor due to their packaging (which had no warnings regarding staples). Company refuses to accept any responsibility and don't respond to emails. 2+ months and counting trying to resolve these issues.

Dear EE
Thank your for your review, we're happy to hear that you like the furniture you purchased from us.
Our apologies for the treatment you feel you have received from customer services, we treat all complaints with the utmost importance and after reviewing all the correspondence between yourself and customer services we are satisfied with their response to you.
Firstly, wrapping from 99% of suppliers that we use, use staples to keep it fastened, so that it doesn't come loose during transit or removal from the vehicle. If customers do not use our white glove delivery service, responsibility is that of the customer to carefully remove all packaging in their own home. We sometimes leave castors on so you can easily manoeuvre the items of furniture around your home without scratching or damaging your floors. Once you have chosen the location of your new furniture it would be at that point that you would remove any remaining packaging and the castors, this will ensure no damage to your floors.
As a rule we would never advise pushing furniture around any floor without castors as this can damage the furniture and make it unstable for use, not to mention what happened in your case by damaging your floor.
Once again, we apologise if you feel you have been let down by our customer services, but we cannot accept any liability for damage which was not caused by our staff.
Many Thanks,
Excellent service.

We bought a table & 2 chairs for my …
We bought a starter table & 2 chairs for my “downsizing” mum, it did say on the website the table needed home assembly, this was the easy part, the chairs were more challenging as they were completely flat packed! However we are very pleased with the end result, & it is worth paying the extra for padded chairs.

Dear Janis,
Thank you for your honest review. Constructive criticism helps us do better. Generally sometimes flatpack furniture helps to keep the cost down. We do offer a white glove service where we will assembled them for you! Great if you hate DIY.
Thanks again,
Frances Hunt Furniture
