I received my order of the bulldozer range, a small one, and was very pleased with it! Really well made, strong, and durable. Reasonably priced, delivered quickly too! Thanks!

Rattan Round Patio Table And Four Chairs

Nearly every connection hole joining the chairs and table together we're misaligned.
I had to use brut strength and the aid of a long sash clamp to hold and complete the job which took much longer than necessary.

They also use the delivery company DX. I received my email from DX giving me my day of delivery and a two hour window. They failed to deliver during this time frame and when I contacted DX, they never had my order even loaded onto the van in the first place.

Great product

Great product. Bought a parasol base on wheels. Extremely solid. Easy to assemble and quick delivery. Was originally planning to order via B&Q but delivery times didn’t suit my needs so secured directly from supplier. Very happy.

Very well organised on sale process with no hastle for a manual log splitter. The item arrived when they said it would be free delivery.
The product is solid and easy to use. Would recommend this company for on line sales

Totally unreliable company!!!

Totally unreliable company!!!
I ordered a base for my parosol. The product was 'in stock' when I ordered it and
I received an order confirmation email straight away. However, a week later I had still not received any confirmation on when it was being dispatched. So I emailed them and then received response to say the iitem was out of stock. Only then did they refund the item!

Excellent Service

The customer service and updates were excellent and the delivery was very timely. I was telephoned by the delivery company the day before the delivery to ensure it would run smoothly. The quality of the furniture is very good and I would certainly recommend and purchase from them in the future. A good old fashioned (in the right way) company that knows how customers should be treated.

Lovely rattan corner sofa

My rattan corner sofa arrived very quickly. Keenan, the delivery driver was sooo helpful. He actually wheeled the large box round to my patio for me. The furniture was very easy to assemble but the clips to clip the 2 sections together don't fit. I will work something out.
Looks lovely on my patio.

I ordered last Friday after eventually making the discount code work. I have been informed it has been dispatched but the courier has no indication of when it will actually be delivered. No date for delivery nothing 5 days later. I appreciate it takes time to get it filtered into the system but a date should be available by now?
