I haven't built the product yet but after their 3rd party logistics company let me down last minute on Friday morning, Backyard went out of their way to organise a van to deliver my product on a Saturday. Great customer service. Very impressed.

Purchased the Arcadia gazebo

Purchased the Arcadia gazebo . Very pleased with the product, detailed instructions to assemble, quality materials and fixings. Very sturdy once constructed and looks great.

On delivery we had a couple of damaged parts. Spoke to customer services UK and these were replaced immediately and delivered within a couple of days.

We cannot fault Backyard Discovery on the service received and would like to thank Josephine in customer service for her assistance.

Highly recommend. Excellent. Thank you.
