I have always been wary of internet shopping, let alone spend nigh on £1000 for a dining set I've neither seen or touched. I was reassured by Furvell that their reputation was outstanding and reviews seemed to indicate the same. There are always bad reviews and you have to read between the lines. It did take slightly longer than promised and I believe logistics seemed to be the biggest issue. That being said I was kept informed every step of the way and duly compensated for the inconvenience. The dining set is first class, extremely heavy and I did opt for the delivery with assembly option. Thank God I did.... Thank you Furvell for a lovely dining set, definitely recommended if you are patient. Great communication which always helps even when things don't go to plan.
