Communication from the company was largely absent, with numerous emails and messages going unanswered.

Ethnic splendour

Very happy with my purchase of a Indian handmade distressed wooden horse ornament. Delivered in reasonable time and true to website photos. Not inexpensive but very unique which is what I look for.

Delight turned to disappointment

I was delighted to recieve my order, which was a vintage wooden shrine/mandir with glass windows about two and a half weeks ago. This turned to disappointment as it was damaged on arrival.
I wrote to Birch & Yarn with a photo explaining this and suggested they could send a new piece of glass or a discount so I could get it fixed myself.

I haven’t heard anything back from them yet.

When I purchased the piece the photo showed no sign of a broken window.
It arrived in very flimsy packaging so I am not surprised it suffered damage along the way.

I love the look of things on their website but will not make another purchase as I have lost faith in them.

Incorrect listing description

Item purchased (garden parasol) not as described in listing. It’s title was Pink and Red Parasol, and the primary photograph corresponded. In reality it was entirely bright pink.
Item was returned, but owner refused to reimburse the return costs.The item description has since, I note, been altered accordingly.
Personally, I am not happy to buy from a company I cannot trust to list their products correctly, or acknowledge their mistakes when made.

Absolutely fantastic customer service

Absolutely fantastic customer service; really prompt replies to all my enquiries and they did exactly what they did they would and did it swiftly. I love the bench that I purchased. It is a welcome addition to the lounge and a real talking point. Would highly recommend this company for both these reasons.

Lovely rug

The rug came when it said and looks lovely in my lounge. The dog approves as well!

Awful experience

We had an awful experience with this company. Our furniture arrived on a pallet, which the delivery company then dumped outside our house. I contacted Birch and Yarn via its online chat service because no-one was picking up the phone. I informed them of the situation and to ask them to arrange for the pallet to be picked up. The owner agreed explaining that the pallet is the delivery company’s responsibility. I’ve heard nothing since and the pallet remains in my front garden (and has been for the past week)

I called up Birch and Yarn and got through to a lady, who first refused to accept what the owner has said (that it is the delivery company’s responsibility). After a lot of toing and froing, she finally agreed to contact the owner (based in India). After speaking with the owner, she contacted me to explain that the owner will be email me directly to resolve the issue.

It has been just over a week and still nothing, despite numerous attempts to contact me them.

I’d think twice about ordering furniture from this company because the moment you have an issue, it will unlikely be resolved. They don’t have customer service (I asked); the owner is based in India and is tardy, and the lady who takes calls is incompetent. There are plenty of other companies who sell similar furniture, with a more trustworthy service. I regret giving them my custom.
