I ordered replacement cushions for my cane conservatory suite and they were delivered in 4 days. The quality and workmanship is excellent and my furniture looks new so I am very pleased both with the competitive price, the customer service and the quality goods. I looked into getting my old cushions reupholstered but the price was prohibitive and these new cushions cost far less but with a perfect result. I recommend this company and will use it again.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. I had placed an order without measuring then the next day realised it was too large for my space. I spoke to Jack and it had been shipped but he was able to stop the delivery and arrange a refund for me. A big thank you to Jack for your help, I will definitely be ordering something else soon.

Top service from The Garden Furniture company.

We had a bit of a problem with a couple of cushions on our Montana garden settee, I think the sun had caused them to blister due to the sun trap we are in.
They were changed without question even though they were about a year old.
The delivery driver Nicu could not do enough for us as regards setting up the first delivery of the settee on our patio.A year latter he came with another delivery for us,a large cushion box.
Once again Nicu proved to be a true professional in his delivery taking the box round the back of the house for me ,unlike a lot of deliveries just dumped at the front door and rushing off.
As regards the Garden Furniture company,the could not have been more helpful with dealing with the faulty cushions.
We made a visit to their large shop,I would advise anyone needing internal or external furniture to go and have a look,fantastic selection with excellent staff.Its a big well done from me.

Fantastic company

Fantastic company! I ordered the biggest and heaviest bench imaginable. I was given a delivery date which was adhered to. The delivery guys, Peter and Max, went above and beyond to make sure my bench was delivered and installed safely. They were polite and courteous, which made them a pleasure to deal with. The bench is beautiful, and will certainly be a conversation piece.

Ordered a cantilever parasol and bowl from these guys at the Sandringham Show. Small delivery hiccough was resolved with a couple of phone calls and delivery made this morning in time for a summer party. Delivery guys were amazing, efficient and tidy, then spent time showing me exactly how it operated. Small team with big heart and big values. Thoroughly recommend.

Amazing customer care

In our time of need this wonderful business cared enough to resolve our issue by supplying a spare part to repair our beautiful wooden parasol. They were quick with email replies and made me feel properly valued as a customer. This went a long way to showing genuine customer care. I’ll buy from them again and highly recommend.

Exemplary Customer Service

On Saturday afternoon, 1st August I spoke to a gentleman from the sales team regarding a cantilever and the type of patio I have etc. He was very knowledgeable, informative and advised me about which style to buy (as my patio attracts a strong wind funnel). Addtionally, he advised me on which style base to buy and weight requirements. His helpful and professional manner prompted me to purchase from here.

Today, 2nd August, after purchasing the 3 products online (cantiliver, base and assembly), it charged me for the cantilever only. Concerned that the products would arrive separately, I spoke to Billie im customer services who reassured me that she could rectify the problem as she was doing the paperwork this day. As we spoke the call dropped. However Billie called back to continue assisting me. She asked which base I wanted and went through the different styles/colour options with me. Also, she arranged the assembly service and told me that an emailed receipt confirmation would be sent (which it was).

Overall, the sales team and customer service are exemplary! Their high standards of care reflect the quality of the products.

Beautiful

We purchased a garden bench.
It arrived wrapped in protective cardboard. Delivery was amazing and the bench was placed where we wanted it.
When we “unwrapped” it, it was even more impressive than the pictures. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the bench was worth every penny. Highly recommend this company. Quality goods and we will definitely buy from them again.

Excellent service and quality products. 10/10

Bought a replacement canopy last year and was so delighted with it that I decided to buy a new brolly with the same canopy. Couldn't find exactly what I wanted on the website, but was pointed in the right direction by Rob in Sales. Good communication too re delivery, and helpful delivery drivers, and the new bamboo brolly and heavy base are top quality. Really impressed with the service and the products.

Absolutely Fantastic

Absolutely Fantastic!
I bought the Havana Swing Seat around two years ago and only set it up recently... and wow, what a pleasant surprise. The quality is superb, the build feels solid, and the assembly is straightforward. It looks beautiful in the garden and swings smoothly.

Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it. Delivery and communication was also very good.

Excellent quality and fabulous customer service.

After being badly let down by an online garden furniture supplier, I was understandably hesitant about ordering another outdoor kitchen. Thankfully, my experience with The Garden Furniture Centre in Wootton Wawen, warwickshire couldn't have been more different.

From the moment I spoke to John, I knew I was in safe hands. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about ensuring everything went smoothly. John facilitated the entire process perfectly, keeping me informed every step of the way and making what had been a stressful situation completely hassle-free.

The level of customer service was exceptional. The team's attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to customer satisfaction really stood out. Every promise was kept, communication was excellent, and the delivery was remarkably swift, arriving exactly when expected and in perfect condition.

The quality of the furniture is outstanding, and the whole experience has restored my confidence in buying garden furniture. It's rare to find a company that combines such high-quality products with genuinely first-class customer service.

Not that impressed

I have to say I was initially impressed with the ordering process and that my item would be with me within 5 days. It arrived 2 days later with no notification that it was due. the item was slightly scratched in places indicating that it wasn't packed adequately enough. As it was very clear about whether it came with a cover, I ordered a cover which then needed to be returned. I am then charged for 're-stocking' this item hadn't even been taken out of the delivery packaging. To top thing off it takes TWO WEEKS to refund me and only when I contacted their accounts department did I get my refund. Sorry to say even though they have been operating a little while I was not impressed and will not be ordering from them again.

Good afternoon,

Regarding the scratches mentioned in your review, we have no record of you contacting us to report any damage to the item. Had we been made aware of this, we would have been more than happy to investigate and assist you. If you would still like us to look into this, please do get in touch with us directly so we have the opportunity to help.

With regard to the additional cover ordered, our website clearly states that the parasol comes complete with a weather cover. As the additional cover was ordered separately and then returned because it was no longer required, our standard restocking fee was applied. We feel this is fair.

We are a small, family-run business and our standard refund process takes between 7 and 14 days. We appreciate that waiting for a refund can be frustrating, but your refund was processed within our stated timeframe.

Kind regards ,
