It all started so well .............
If I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have made this purchase. Everything was good up until the point of paying for the order. Sadly though, things went downhill from there. A delivery estimate of 10-12 weeks was given to me in early July. This actually turned into delivery after 20 weeks. I had previously tried to speak to the showroom on several occasions and left messages for someone to call me back. When I did manage to make contact after 12 weeks, I was told to estimate a further 4 weeks for delivery. 4 weeks later I received a call from the warehouse proposing a delivery date of a further 4 weeks time - which I accepted - late November - a total of 20 weeks after placing my order.
Delivery and assembly of my wardrobe went smoothly and the furniture looked good. What was not so good, however, was the eye-wateringly strong chemical smell emanating from the wardrobe. This, I now understand, is from the finish used on the paintwork. Despite it being quite overpowering, I've been assured it's not toxic. The delivery people said it would take 24 hours to clear. When. after about a week, the smell was still extremely powerful, I spoke to the showroom. At no time had I been warned to expect this smell. The assistant explained that the furniture is frequently 'aired' at the warehouse prior to delivery. Clearly this hadn't been done in my case. She told me that if the furniture smells, they normally advise clients to air the room for 1 week in summer and 2 in winter. She did offer to have my piece dismantled and returned to the warehouse for airing and then redelivered/constructed. When I declined, she sent me a Neutrogena capsule. I bought several more and kept these plus multiple bowls of Bicarbonate of Soda in the room and inside the wardrobe and kept the windows open all day for over 3 weeks. When the smell persisted I spoke to the showroom again. Whilst very apologetic, no further solutions were offered apart from the suggestion to use a fan. It's now mid-January and although the smell is less strong, it's still too strong for me to use it. Apparently it's from the coating used to make the paint less subject to damage.
In all, some 26 weeks after placing the order, I still don't have a usable wardrobe! This is a real shame as the initial experience, front of house showroom and design/drawings process were all good and the wardrobe looks nice (although one door is a bit lower than the other). Unfortunately though this has been overshadowed by the complete lack of follow-through/communicaton regarding the initial delivery delay and the total absence of any warning re potential issues with the overpoweringly pungent and persistent smell. There's also been no offer of compensation or any other gesture by way of mitigation. The result is that this has been a really disappointing experience and one which I would not repeat. If I had only known then what I know now ......................

Dear Mrs B,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. We are genuinely sorry for the frustration and disappointment this has caused.
It is good to hear that your experience started well, and we regret that this was not carried through to the final outcome. The extended lead time you experienced was not acceptable, and we fully understand how upsetting it is when expectations are missed and communication does not feel clear or proactive enough. Over the past year we did experience staffing shortages and production bottlenecks, and while that gives context, it does not lessen the impact this had on you. We are sorry that this affected your order. Since then, we have been investing heavily in our workshop, increasing staffing levels, and modernising processes to help prevent this happening again.
We are particularly sorry about the ongoing paint smell you have described. We fully understand how distressing it must be to have furniture that still feels unusable so long after delivery. Due to the delays at that time, some furniture was delivered very soon after completion, and in colder winter months the off-gassing process can take considerably longer, as airflow and warmth play a large role in how quickly this dissipates. That said, we are sorry that you were not warned in advance and that the situation has persisted for so long. We would like to reassure you that we are more than happy to collect the wardrobe and bring it back to our warehouse for further investigation and airing if you would like us to do so.
We are also sorry for the communication issues you have raised. We understand that we spoke prior to Christmas regarding the paint smell and discussed the points you mention, and we were awaiting an update from you to see whether things had improved. That said, we accept that follow-up should have been clearer and more proactive, and we apologise that this added to your frustration. Our team have followed up again today.
This is not the experience we want any customer to have, and we are sorry that we fell short on this occasion. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to review what happened and how we can improve.
Kindest regards,
The Painted Furniture Company Team
So pleased with my furniture
We are so pleased with our bedroom furniture that we bought from The Painted Furniture Company. Our experience with the company was exemplary from start to finish. From the start, the provision of free samples of the available colours was essential as colours represented online are never true; actual painted samples on wood as provided allowed me to choose the exact colour I needed. The customer service was excellent when I placed my order. When I rang to ensure that the order had been processed, the women I spoke to were so helpful and friendly, I had confidence that any further queries I had would be dealt with efficiently. Again, the customer service was excellent when it came to the delivery of my furniture; the first date suggested for delivery was not suitable for us but there was no trouble in changing tje delivery date to one where we were home to receive the furniture. Likewise, on the day of delivery we were kept updated with the expected time of arrival and the delivery arrived in good time that morning and at the predicted time. The two delivery men were absolutely brilliant; respectful of our home while delivering rhe furniture and they assembled the furniture expertly and efficiently all with a smile and good humour. They were all finished within half an hour. Now we have the most beautiful, excellent quality furniture to complete our bedroom. A brilliant experience throughout - we would highly recommend this company and would definitely purchase furniture from them again.

Great first purchase
First time purchase from this fantastic company. We initially attended an open day in the summer having decided we wanted a new bookcase for our living room, replacing the our ancient and boring ikea one.
Later that day we attended the shop in Cirencester where we were blown away by the quality and choice. Despite it being a very busy day for staff we were greeted with a smile by Alison and given advice and a quote without feeling pressured. We called a couple of days later once we’d checked measurements at home to place our order.
Given that everything is bespoke we knew we would be waiting a few months for our order but were pleasantly surprised to be contacted a few weeks earlier than expected by the warehouse team. We had some difficulty with the delivery date due to work commitments but this was no issue for the team and they were able to meet our request for a change in date.
Everyone we met was passionate about the company and products, we were made to feel like we mattered which is something that is often lacking with other companies these days. As for the bookcase, we love it and are pleased with our choice. I’m sure it will be the first of many purchases. Thank you to everyone involved, especially those that are making these beautiful items.

A great experience from beginning to end
I am absolutely delighted with the bespoke dresser I have recently had delivered and installed. It is of excellent quality, looks beautiful, and is exactly what I wanted. One of the reasons I chose the Painted Furniture Company, apart from the obvious quality of the products, was because of the efficiency of Kate, who I dealt with in ordering it. She answered my emails promptly and in good detail, getting confirmation when necessary from the workshop that what I was asking for was possible. I would not hesitate to purchase more furniture from the company. I really do give it a five star review in all aspects!

Good product, let down by poor customer service.
The product offering is good, and seems reasonable value for money. However, customer service in my case was very poor, which seems to be down to the 'warehouse' being completely separate to the customer-facing end. I struggled to get information before, during and after delivery, and was told once bluntly in response to me requesting information 'by the end of the week' on how they could fix a fault, that I would have to 'await their [workshop] advice'. Two months later it still hadn't arrived.
In the end I wrote to the MD. I didn't get a response directly which again was poor, although it did result in customer service sending me an email.
The end result was that a couple of service guys came to fix it. It's better but still not really right.
Even after that there was no follow-up to check whether I was happy.
Finally, there is no contact route that doesn't take you through to the same customer service team. No complaints mechanism, no escalation, and no email for senior people. I had to put pen to paper and it's possible that the MD never saw my letter.
This is a pity - the product itself is good.

We ordered two bookcases and a 2 door sideboard in the Amberley range, opting to have bespoke sizes made for 2 of the items in order to fit in the spaces we had available. We were able to choose stronger materials for the shelves in one of the bookcases to support lots of heavy books. The team at the Painted furniture company were extremely helpful in designing our items from our simple drawing.The quality of the items is excellent, painted finish is flawless. Very happy indeed! The delivery team were brilliant, taking care to protect the furniture on the way in to our house; putting protectors under each item so floors don’t get marked and leaving spare matching paint and door handle just in case ! They even covered our gate posts! Excellent company to deal with. Took slightly longer than 8 weeks we had hoped for but they were very busy and kept us informed.
