Helpful and friendly.
First time ordering a kitchen from Howdens. There was a lack of communication regarding the delivery and the design didn't workthat well. After speaking with the manager, he was able to sort it all out. Provided a clear solution. I appreciate Zoe and the management's effort.

Hello Mr Oliver, Thank you for your feedback on our Howdens - Coventry depot. Have a great day. Cha
APPALLING
APPALLING! Plagued with issues from day 1, including:
- Quotes that weren't itemised so you don't know how much ach element costs so you can price compare (despite several requests for an itemised quote);
- When an itemised quote finally did materialise, items had suddenly appeared at an additional cost that hadn't been there previously;
Then came the hard sell — “this price only available if you book in the next two weeks” Ugh!
- Designers leaving half way through the project and handing over to someone who hasn't got a clue;
- Incorrect items sent (chrome fitting instead of brass);
- Informing me that they don't have the items I requested MONTHS ago (explaining why the wrong items were included in the delivery);
- Wine coolers that--when installed--are too narrow to open, remove shelves, or hold a bottle of wine (?! Seriously ?!);
- Items specified during the design phase missing altogether from the order;
The brass “hinges” supplied, were neither brass, nor hinges, but overpriced decorative TAT that were completely unnecessary and are again flawed by design - they actually prevent the cupboard doors opening and closing properly;
- "Full-assembled" units arriving in so many dismantled pieces I lost count and the fitters had to add extra time to put it all together.
Why did I use them? For reasons unknown, they were recommended by the fitters.
However, I would NEVER recommend Howdens in a million years. If you're looking for an honest, transparent, reliable kitchen company, KEEP LOOKING!

Excellent service from Tom!
We have recently had a kitchen designed by Howdens and received excellent service from Tom. Tom was very friendly and helpful, he had a great attitude and he was very knowledgeable. He helped us go through different designs and products to design the perfect kitchen. Would definitely recommend Howdens due to the service we received off Tom - a massive credit to your team!
