The purchasing procedure and delivery of the item was excellent, however, in my opinion it should have had a master set of instructions that tells you what boxes to open and assemble in what order.... See more

I have updated this review as we are really pleased with the furniture. Delivery date was not realistic and would be great if that process could be made smoother, but furniture wise we're happy.
Update...(18 July)
Received a phone call Sat 11th July from the delivery company to arrange delivery, next available slot was Wed 15th July, which I was fine with. Received a call the day before to confirm 3hr window. Received a call on the morning to say on way. Delivery was great.
Original estimated date when purchasing was 6th July. My only issue was the in-between part between ordering and hearing re the delivery, felt slightly unsure what was happening (as per below)
Received a phone call from Maze on Friday (Billy) who was great and wanted to check if all was ok. Totally understood the feedback and explained they are working to improve the process.
Just in the process of building and will update review re product.
Original review (9 July)
I really wanted this to be a positive experience and chose Maze for our new garden furniture after a lot of research. The set was just under £1,800. One of the reasons we felt confident ordering was because Maze products are stocked by well-known retailers such as Next, Housing Unit etc
Our furniture was listed as in stock, with an estimated delivery date at the beginning of this week. I appreciate that delivery dates are estimates, but what's disappointing is the complete lack of communication once it became clear that the estimate wasn't going to be met, there's no proactive contact whatsoever.
After contacting customer services, who did try to help, I was told I now have to wait for their third-party courier to get in touch, apparently by phone, before I can even be offered a delivery date. This means there's still no certainty about when we'll actually receive the furniture.
At this stage, the lack of proactive communication and unrealistic delivery estimates on their website, has been the biggest frustration. Such a shame as the furniture looks and reviews really well. Looking back, I wish I'd paid more attention to some of the reviews mentioning similar issues. I hope the furniture itself lives up to expectations, and I can provide a more positive update but so far the buying and delivery experience has been disappointing. (The current heatwave is probably adding to my disappointment as I'm currently sat on the patio 🫠)

We ordered our furniture from maze last year and it’s amazing and service was excellent unfortunately our table got damaged and Phoebe in after care went above and beyond in helping us

Beautiful furniture and fair price. A few issues with late delivery but Maze took ownership and resolved

Worst customer service ever, don’t answer phones or email. No communication other than false information re delivery. Totally exasperated by this company cancelled order.

Product was excellent, one foot missing off the sofa but we have contacted and hopefully this will be corrected. Delivery men were really helpful and everything arrived on time.

Enjoying our great looking furniture. Really comfortable. No need for covers on the seats as they're weather proof!
We had an issue with a crack on the edge of the large table. Phoebe, the After Sales Team Leader, did a great job resolving the issue with no hassle.
Looking forward to years of good use

5 days later than advised, very well packaged and comfortable height for dining and relaxing. Would have been 5+ without the delays. NB delivery advised 9 am to 5pm! Actually came 2 pm.

Ordered a corner sofa. Whilst it was a long wait as a pre-order, it arrived on time. Quality of the corner sofa is excellent. Really pleased with it!

I placed a large order that included 4 complete outdoor chair/table sets for a new home renovation. I ensured the order was placed in time for "delivery by 8h July". I was also careful to only order in stock items that showed this delivery timeline.
Today is the 8th so I call to try and get an update - 45 minute wait. Tried the online chat and they tell me it's only just gone to the courier and may be 10 more days. That's not the agreement on which the order was placed, I feel Maze lied to me to get the order and have let me and my family down.
Our weekend plans are now ruined as our guests won't have any tables or chairs. Disaster.
Update: Delivery is now scheduled for later this week - over 7 days later than promised when ordering. Last week I had a team of 20 trades on site that could help assemble so did not book installation services, but now just myself and large garden party this weekend. Another weekend of ruined plans because of this company. Tried to call to see if there's anything they can do, but they also lie about their opening hours - website says phone from 7:30am but when calling it says closed until 9am.

The quality of product is great, unfortunately aftersales care could be improved. After a longer than expected delivery lead time, which we were never kept up-to-date about, we were short delivered a bench cushion. Four and a half weeks later we're still waiting for it. Got very excited today when a cushion turned up only for it to be the wrong one! C'mon Maze don't let your wonderful product down with rubbish aftercare

Ordered my furniture in March to beat the summer delivery. Still waiting on delivery which I believe went to courier on Friday 29th June this is now 8th July and don’t even have a delivery date yet
Difficult to communicate don’t answer emails promptly and I have done around 4hours wait time on phones at various times
I certainly hope the furniture is worth this. Also paid £250 delivery to Aberdeen as it seems to be in Highlands and Islands
Update I now have my furniture only delivered 22/7/26 so at the time maze responded they had not resolved my problem. I have now been emailing regarding so kind of compensation for all the failed communication but the last two emails I have sent over the last week are quite simply being ignored and obviously not willing to communicate any more
The furniture is fantastic but the company do not deserve your business

On delivery only the base of the parasol I ordered was on the vehicle, I was told by the driver that was the only thing they had to deliver for me. I attempted to contact Maze by phone and was met by a "we are extremely busy wait time is currently 45 minutes" I tried the live chat on there website and was greeted with "please hold whilst we connect you to one of our team" I waited 15 minutes and gave up. I emailed on the 30/7 I got an email back saying it can take up to 3 days for a response. After a few more attempts over the next couple of days I managed to get through to someone on the phone after about a 10 minute wait. The issue was resolved on that call. I did receive a response from my email 4 days later, the response was I will have top speak to the transport company and come back to you, I did email back to say don't bother now I have managed to resolve over the phone. I wouldn't order from Maze again based on my experience, the product is great however when things go wrong it's all a bit of a shambles so I wouldn't risk that happening again.

Despite initial attention to resolve a fault with our outdoor kitchen over 10 weeks later I still have no idea that the new parts required have even been ordered. Little communication in between following me complying with their request that i provide a good trustpilot review following initial verbal promises to resolve quickly. This was my 4th Maze purchase and likely last due to being continuely let down. Sorted and paid for resolution myself rather than miss the entire summer waiting on Maze promises to materislise. Dont give a review before full resolution of your issue. They should be ashamed.

Really helpful customer service. I placed an order and accidentally ordered an incorrect (but similar) set, I realised quickly, and they sorted it out very promptly.

Fantastic aftercare from Reece and Billy
We had to replace our Lazy Susan due to our parasol being blown over by a sudden gust of wind which smashed the glass.
Contacted Reece who has kindly replaced the lazy Susan.
So very appreciative

Still have not had any confirmation about when I will receive my delivery. Estimated delivery was 30th June. Now 6th July and can’t get hold of the delivery company and have left countless messages. Can’t comment on the product as yet. I needed delivery today for a house rental.

Charlotte was helpful in responding to my chat query. She gave me a prompt and clear answer.
Great service.

Charlotte resolved my query quickly. Very helpful.

The wrong furniture cover was sent even though the package information was correct. Charlotte online chat was most helpful and had not problem issuing a full refund.
