Gorgeous pipe bracketed walnut shelves

The ordering & delivery process was super easy - really appreciated the free delivery! The handmade shelves are beautiful and substantial, you can see the care and personal touch that has been taken making them. The pipe brackets are amazing and really finish off the shelves. Had them up on the wall the next day. Can't stop looking at them - love them ! The house may fall down, but those shelves will still be there 😆

Better than expected

Better than expected, brought 2 shelves, easy to install and look great in my newly decorated kitchin, quality item with that expensive look, wouldn't hesitate to buy more items from Ben Simpson Furniture, the lead time for delivery is that little bit longer while you wait for your order to be made, but it worth waiting those extra few days, you definitely won't be disappointed, looking forward to my next purchase, thank you Ben Simpson, these shelves with the pipe fitting brackets look absolutely wonderful in my kitchen.

Worth the price.

Had my shelf up a few weeks now and vey pleased with it, and so is the wife so it must be good!
People who think these are pricey need to consider (and if they are a DIY fanatic like myself) that they won't get the wood and a quality finish like these from a DIY store.
Add in the solid brackets, fixing kit and pilot drill which is enclosed to fhe costs and it's not worth getting your sand paper out.
Going to get two more soon.

Been waiting a week for my table and…

Been waiting a week for my table and benches. No notification from their courier as to arrival. I am out during the day so asked Ben Simpson to let me know date and time so I could arrange receipt. They didn't. Parcelforce then took the furniture to the local Post Office and expect me to collect it! I don't have a car big enough. This is a very expensive product. If the quality is poor like the service, it will be returned.

Fast forward 4 days and I had to rearrange my delivery....which didn't arrive but according to Parcel Force did! Ben et al are either on holiday or ignoring my emails. Either way, 3 weeks after my order, I still have nada 🤷

Hi,

I’m so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. I just wanted to reassure you that we did send your tracking information over by email at 9:12am on April 8th, and I also personally re-sent the details along with the tracking link on Friday the 11th. Later that same day, I followed up to let you know I expected your parcel to arrive on Monday.

I completely understand how frustrating this situation must be, and I truly wish I could personally oversee each delivery to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Unfortunately, I’m not able to track every individual Parcelforce delivery in real-time, and I don’t have control over their drivers’ decisions - like the one yesterday who chose to deliver your parcel to the local post office when you were not home, instead of attempting redelivery another day.

I genuinely do apologise for the inconvenience and for the extra effort you’ve had to make to rearrange things.

Please know I am here to help however I can moving forward.

Kind regards,
Nicole

Lovely made to order furniture

Lovely made to order furniture! Very competitively priced, great communication from Nicole. I bought 4 floating shelves, not cheap, but the point was I didn’t want cheap, I wanted good quality, competitively priced furniture and that's exactly what I got! I liked my 4 shelves so much, I’ve ordered another as a radiator shelf!

Floating shelf

I wanted a really good quality wood floating shelf (minus brackets) for my living room. I found Ben Simpson site and placed my order. It was £50 for the shelf, some may say for a piece of wood, but this shelf is worth every single penny. Even the workman who put it up for me today said it was fantastic quality. I absolutely love it. Thank you so much. Highly recommend this company and their customer service are great too. Any queries just phone or email them, they are very helpful. I spent £5 to get 8 block samples of colours of the wood to pick what went with my other wooden furniture prior to ordering the actual shelf which was so helpful.

Poor craftmanship, expensive and long wait period.

purchased 4 shelves and every piece of wood was warped, bent and just not fit at all for shelves. around 220 GBP for 4 shelves that are warped..... 3 week waiting period too. Very interesting company. Avoid.

Good Quality, Great Customer Service

I'm glad I ignored the reviews by trolls.

Shelf is solid, caringly stained so that it brings out the natural grain and knots.

The team both customer services and workshop were really helpful.

Absolutely overpriced, and £43 to send back!

Absolutely overpriced, poorly stained pine shelves - £120 for 2 shelves I could have made myself for a quarter of the price. I'm all for margins, but still. The fixings were too deep for my wall, and to send it back will cost me a further £43 (at my expense).

Now they are panicking at my true review, and want me to remove it, even going as far as lying to say they have tried to call me; the fact remains these guys deliver shoddy goods not worth the cash, and charge the earth the return it! The shelf has long since been on the bonfire, the money lost, but at least we toasted some nice marshmallows!

Easier to just mill your own timber

If this desk was any less assembled I would have been milling the wood and putting iron ore through a blast furnace.

You get sent some planks and a few bits of metal then it is on you to buy a drill, measure up, drill the pilot holes and put everything together. No warning that you would need a drill on the website and the irregularity of the wood makes it hard to get everything flush.

I ordered three pieces of oak mantel to create a fire surround. I corresponded with them if the three pieces could have their edges rounded and the two standing mantels to be shortened to my measurements. Nothing was too much trouble. The order came within the week. On arrival the package was perfect in every way, the quality, colour as seen on their colour chart and the packing. We’re very happy. Their site about their origins a what they stand for in trying to be environmentally friendly and their tips/ suggestions on decor ideas is excellent.

Extortionate flat-pack

I couldn’t believe the product wasn’t assembled considering the cost, and the wood is just essentially shelving that you have to build yourself. The self-assembly aspect is not clear at all when purchasing. Also the metal legs are way thicker / chunkier than they look on the website, definitely not good for smaller tables. I’m probably going to buy new legs which are not as chunky so will end up paying an absolutely fortune essentially for a flat-packed product.
Don’t waste your money - buy the wood and legs yourself which you could get for a fraction of the price.

Perfection

Fast delivery, easy to follow instructions and just a gorgeous dining table we are super satisfied with.

Decided we wanted to order some shelves with them after being happy about the dining and they gave us a discount because the newsletter discount signup code was technically for accessories and not shelves.
