I bought two recess-mounted curtain rods from Made by the Forge. I’m very happy with the service and communication received. The curtain rods look wonderful, they were custom made to fit the space and Made by the Forge delivered exactly what they promised

Simple and speedy overseas delivery

I ordered curtain rings to be delivered to the Netherlands. I quickly received a quotation and the ordering process was simple. The items were delivered quickly and I am very pleased with the quality. Communication was great throughout. I would certainly use Made by the Forge again.

Kitchen metalwork

The website was easy to use with good selection of products .i ordered a kitchen towel holder which looks great in our new kitchen .Communication was excellent as i received a phone call asking me for exact measurements for my purchase as it was made to order for a specific location . The price was very good as it was a handmade product.

Highly Recommend High Craftmanship

I have placed around 5 orders from Made by the Forge now. High Quality curtain poles made to the exact measurements. Expensive, but you do get what you pay for from this company. Well worth the money in my opinion as they are made to last forever and they do. Can't see the need to ever change these poles again as the classic designs never go out of fashion. the Rams head is stunning, you can see the skill and craftmanship that went into making it.

I dont normally write reviews but for this definitely making the time. The curtain pole we got is absolutely beautiful the craftsmanship is perfect, quality control was spot on. Yes it is expensive but its worth every penny without a doubt and the wife already lining up the next 4 poles. If you never put a curtain pole up just take time and follow instructions your be more than happy.

We have been purchasing metal poles and accessories from Made by the Forge for some years now. Our clients love them. They are lovely hand-made pieces that stand the test of time. We come back to them again and again as they cannot be replicated with lesser lookalikes.

Curtain Poles...

Really very helpful in helping us choose the best option. And then sent us an extra ring, at no charge, when we realised we were one short. Highly recommend this company

Beautifully made item

The curtain rail and fittings are really well made, and now we have the curtain that we had made to hang on it, it looks perfect. Easy to navigate instructions on the site to get the perfect for the space and arrived within the specified time.
