When you buy furniture, you wonder how it will be, ready built or flat pack. My items came mixed, and the delivery drivers carried them upstairs, and to my suprise the boxes weighed heavy, so credit to them for it was hard work. They unpacked, built and checked both items, and the furniture looks great, we can not be more happy with service that was given, highly recommended.

Exceptional and bespoke service
The delivery needed to be signed for and they were more than happy to deliver to my work address. The communication throughout the experience was exceptional and not something I have experienced before. The chat facility was great and they called when they were nearly at my workplace. Highly recommend! If only all delivery companies were this thorough and professional - thank you.

Not a great purchase
Instructions office to follow and I am not new to this type of furniture.
Quality not as I would expect when purchasing from Next.
Some fixings visible when completed so overall not great.
Would return if I could but once assembled that option isn’t available so we are stuck with it.
Already looking for a replacement

Thanks for your feedback — and I’m really sorry for the confusion here, especially as you haven’t yet received your order.
It does look like the review request has been triggered automatically, which shouldn’t have happened before delivery has been completed, and I apologise for that.
In terms of your order, this is not the standard we expect. Our transport team will look into this further as a priority to find out exactly what has caused the delay and get an update for you as soon as possible.
If you can share your order number, we’ll get this checked straight away and come back to you with a clear update.
AVOID AT AL COSTS… STOLEN bed
AVOID AT AL COSTS… STOLEN bed, never received it. Contacted them twice no answer. Still waiting to hear where my bed is. I had to contact B&Q to open an investigation into this issue, but I’m still bedless and £180 lighter.

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience — that’s clearly very concerning and not the service we expect at all.
This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and I completely understand how frustrating it must be to be left without your order and awaiting answers. We will look into this further as a priority to establish exactly what has happened with your delivery.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention — we take situations like this extremely seriously and will treat it as urgent.

A little on the hard side
Sofas went together very easily, but are a little on the hard side. (Probably just a personal preference)
Service from Birlea was very good and kept updated, but the same can't be said for Homebase who we purchased through.

Thanks for your feedback — we’re really pleased to hear the sofas were easy to assemble and that you were happy with the service and updates from our side.
In terms of the comfort level, all of our products are independently tested for their comfort rating by a third party, so they are designed to match the specified feel. That said, we completely understand that firmness can still come down to personal preference.
We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have the same experience with the retailer, but we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Very strong smell
I bought a five drawers cabinet and it is exactly as what I have seen at the showroom. It is operating normally but the problem is that it smells very strong. I have already opened all the drawers in a room with all windows opened for three days and yet the smell is still strong.

Reply from Birlea Furniture
Thanks for your feedback — we’re really pleased to hear the cabinet is exactly as expected and operating normally.
With regards to the smell, this can sometimes occur with newly manufactured furniture due to the materials used and packaging process. It should naturally reduce over time, especially with good ventilation, so airing it out as you’ve done is the right approach.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope it settles fully for you very soon.
Excellent experience
Excellent experience. Cory arrived on time and was very pleasant and helpful. Couldn't have done more.

Arrived on time, wore covers on shoes when inside. Unpacked an item that wouldn’t fit up the stairs, even when I said I could do it and moved the packaging outside. Couldn’t have been better
Excellent service

Awful Delivery Experience
First delivery date was 15th April, didn’t arrive, then 21st April, didn’t arrive and was told my the AI bots to wait till 1st May for my package. Today i received a package of a coffee table and not the 3 door wardrobe i ordered. After waiting close to two weeks for my delivery with barely any communication from Birlea, i get the wrong 😑 parcel. This has been a really awful experience.

I’m really sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had — this is clearly not the level of service we expect, especially with multiple missed delivery dates and then receiving the wrong item.
I completely understand how frustrating it must be after waiting and receiving very little communication. Our transport team will look into this further as a priority to establish exactly what has gone wrong with the delivery.
I can see our Customer Service team have liaised with Debenhams regarding this, it was a system error which meant the wrong item was shipped. A full refund has been processed for this.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention — we’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused.
