Fantastic - Everyone very helpful and Galiena in the Bath branch went more than the extra mile - as did her colleagues. Very very good quality products and exemplary service.

Love the lamp

Love the lamp, love the price in the sale, arrived promptly and very well packaged.
The only thing that was a gripe was that APC delivery left it on my doorstep instead of in the garage as per instructions, I couldn’t get hold of anyone so had to get hold of a neighbour to put it in the garage for me. Doesn’t impact my 5 stars for the service or product but just fyi for the store.

Hay Palisades - Delivery company is a nightmare

Ordered Hay palisades chairs. You will not get your delivery on time even for stock items. The delivery company kinetic has cancelled 3 times, each time I had to change my plans to be home.
Clearly many other customers in the reviews are having the same issues for a long time, so why don’t they use a better delivery service?
On top Holloways don’t have a good customer service department, nobody answers the call
Use other reputable online stores such as Heals

Keep original and authentic reviews

Hi Raza,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this has caused. We completely understand how disappointing it is to have your delivery cancelled multiple times, especially when you have had to rearrange your plans on each occasion.

We also sincerely apologise for the difficulties you have experienced in contacting our customer service team. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

As your order was placed through our Bath showroom team, the Showroom Manager will be in touch with you directly to review this matter and assist in getting it resolved as quickly as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Terrific service & product lines

The price was better than other shops and the item was in stock and didn't require 4-6 weeks lead time.

Beautiful piece of furniture

The item arrived in a large crate and so solidly packed. I am grateful that the delivery men unpacked the item and delivered to the front room.
Very pleased with the table. It is a beautiful piece of furniture.

Hi Henry,

We’re very sorry to hear that your delivery experience did not meet your expectations. For standard deliveries, items are scheduled as drop-off only, with white glove delivery available as an upgrade for additional assistance such as unpacking or installation.

While our driver was not required to assist beyond a standard drop-off, we understand there may have been some miscommunication. We’re pleased to hear that the team were ultimately able to help with bringing the item into your home and removing the packaging for you at no additional cost.

We’re sorry for any confusion caused and appreciate your feedback, which we will share with our logistics team.

In the past I have purchased Danish design lamps (PH Louis Poulsen) in Denmark. After returning home to the UK, I wanted a PH80 for my redesigned living area. I was very pleased to find the offered lamp for a reasonable price (given that it is authentic Danish design, so expensive by nature). The website was easy to navigate, and the order process went flawlessly. I received my lamp within a week (with the Easter holiday inbetween). The lamp was in perfect condition, having been packed by the manufacturer, including the certificate of authenticity. Over the moon and happy to have my new lamp.
