From buying this amazing tree root table to having it delivered has been incredible! The delivery drivers Manny and Mike went above and beyond, extremely friendly,helpful ,polite and strong.It was an extremely heavy table but they didn’t give up or moan they just got on with it, they removed the garden gate to get it through and even put it back on when they had finished. Amazing team, thank you and well done !

We recently bought an electric awning and we were extremely impressed with the whole process. The awning is well made and works well. The installation was excellent, the guys obviously knew their stuff and completed the whole thing really well. They were very personable and checked carefully to ensure we were happy. No fuss and a tidy finish.all for a good price.
You can’t go wrong with this company.

I recently had the roof panels replaced on my lean-to gazebo, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience — especially the after-sales service.

From start to finish, the two fitters, Manny and Mike, were absolutely excellent. They worked with great care and attention to detail, making sure everything was fitted perfectly and securely. It was clear they took real pride in their work. They were also incredibly polite, approachable, and more than happy to answer any questions I had along the way.

What really stood out to me was how careful they were around the surrounding area, ensuring everything was left clean and tidy once the job was completed. Nothing felt rushed, and they made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving.

The after-sales support has also been fantastic. Rachel, the customer service representative, has been professional, responsive, and extremely helpful with any follow-up queries. It’s reassuring to know the company continues to provide excellent service even after the installation is complete.

I would highly recommend this team to anyone considering similar work. Manny, Mike, and Rachel are a real credit to the company!

I recently had a delivery of wheelie bin covers after meeting the team at their recent show. Wow. I'm so impressed, from the sturdy anthracite style to the soft close lids, makes putting out the rubbish a dream !! The team were excellent at the show and communication with the office was smooth and easy, delivery just as good. I couldn't recommend this company more and I'll be looking forward to visiting their stand at the NEC. Thanks again!

First class Customer Service & Delivery

We ordered a Granite parasol base, on delivery we found it was damaged. I contacted Garden Furniture Customer Service and received a response the same day informing me they would deliver a new one, on a date to suit me, and collect damaged one. Today it was delivered by Mike & Maris, 2 very polite, helpful gentlemen who took the very heavy base through to the garden and assembled it for us. These days excellent Customer Service is rare, but from me Garden Furniture Centre get 5 stars. Thank you.

Resend of review- company got original removed

Resend of review with customer advisors name removed, due to company complaining and getting original removed!

Where do I start?
Well, without a lie, probably the most shambolic company I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with, and I’ve dealt with some bad companies in the past, but these are premier league!

Well, it all started when my wife ordered a large wooden root lamp, not cheap around £250.00 so a significant purchase, and prior to the expected delivery my wife contacted them for a more precise delivery date/time, as she wanted to be sure somebody would be home to accept the delivery, she was given the date, and told the advisor specifically to avoid the 11.30am to 1.30pm time slot as nobody would be home, any other time would be fine, advisor said he would note this, and also get the delivery driver to call in advance on the day, well that did not happen.

I was working 120mls away on the day of delivery, got a call around midday to say I’m now on your doorstep but nobody home, I explained the situation and he said if he took it back he did not know when he would be coming back again, so I said we’ll in that case you’ll have to leave it up near my garage door, as wife would be home soon, which is what he did.

What he did not mention was that it was pouring with rain at home, and the lamp he was delivering was only wrapped in some plastic wrapping, and that was split and open!
As you can imagine, when we opened the lamp, it was soaking wet, the base was saturated from being left on a wet concrete driveway and left us disappointed and angry to be honest.

That night I dried the lamp in front of our stove for several hours, and checked that it did in fact work, not exactly what you expect to do with a brand new £250.00 lamp, and next day contacted GFC to explain the situation.

I was dealt with by ##### a Customer Services Advisor, and explained that through no fault of my own, the lamp could not be considered brand new before it was actually handed to me, and for that reason I would like (and expect) some kind of discount off the original price paid, or alternatively if They could let me know their returns policy please for a full refund.

Well, after numerous emails back and forth (really poor customer service) the advisor said bottom line is I can have £25.00 discount off a future purchase, to which I said do you honestly think I would buy from GFC again, or I could return the item at my own cost for a refund less 15% re-stocking fee!

I am still seething and this has not ended yet, and can advise that the company has already had this review deleted on trust pilot due to mentioning a name of who I spoke too for some reason, so hopefully this will help others know my experience of them.
Further Update-I was promised a phone call from a manager 2-weeks ago, sadly as of now I’m still waiting to be contacted!

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

For clarity, Trustpilot policy does not permit the naming of individual employees in reviews. This is to protect GDPR and personal data, which is why the original version of the review was removed by the platform rather than by ourselves.

Regarding the matter itself, the delivery was completed in line with the instructions you personally provided to our driver on the day. The item was delivered as instructed, was undamaged, and was confirmed to be in full working order, with no damage reported.

Unfortunately, we are unable to issue monetary compensation for an item that was delivered as instructed and in full working order. A gesture of goodwill was offered as a courtesy in an attempt to resolve the matter, however this was declined. A return option was also provided in line with our terms and conditions and UK consumer law.

The director was made available to discuss this matter further with you directly, but no further response was received.

Kind regards,
GFC team.

Good delivery of excellent swinging garden seat and cover.
Seat comfortable much to the delight of family and visitors alike. Cover has withstood all the dry summer weather plus winds and rain of winter in our extremely windy garden. Would strongly recommend both.

Ben and Manny delivered our outdoor furniture on Tuesday and their service was exceptional. Nothing was a problem which is extremely refreshing following the awful experience we had recently with a company delivering a pergola. Thank you both for restoring faith

Suddenly your bins become a feature!

Easy online order process; well-packed and despatched with regular updates on order progress; clear instructions made construction straightforward; and the finished item looks great! More importantly, it functions really well and has proved to be the perfect solution for the eternal question of where to stick/hide the bins. Thankyou!

It replaced our old wooden bin storage and is noticeably stronger, better quality, and a real upgrade to our home. I would definitely recommend it.

We love our new bin stores

We love our new bin stores, we bought it for 4 wheelies. It looks super smart and has proved to be robust against our high winds and intensive usage. We ordered them at Badminton and they've lived in Scotland ever since!
