Chairs arrived after a month pretty much as advised at time of ordering. Box was battered but chairs weren't damaged at all. No fitting instructions but easy to build. The chairs are very comfortable and exactly what we wanted. Probably not really worth the £280 for the pair but there wasn't anything else online coming up at such a cheap price. Overall am very happy with the purchase.
It's false advertising, I paid $800 for a shelves who doesn't look like the picture, no instructions manual to built it, arrived broken, very bed quality and they put hundreds of screws and small part in a plastic thank you bag!
I ordered a desk online, and three size options were provided. I ordered the middle size. The smallest size arrived about 50 days later, with a damaged top (and about 100 extra screws). It's a low-quality product, but at the price I paid, if I'd received the correct desk, that would have been OK. What I received is worth about half of what I paid, and sells for less than I paid on there very own website. Even with repeated emails, the company simply would not send what I ordered. They are sending a new table top. Responsive customer service and great English skills, but a bad outcome. I'd steer clear.

I purchased an item online. After three weeks outstanding, I contacted them for an update. The person I connected with via chat sent me a fake tracking number via FedEx. The status only showed as "label created" while the support email told me that the piece had not shipped. I think they are a bogus company. Luckily I went through PayPal and I will attempt to get a refund. Do not use this company. They are a scam.

The ceiling light they sent was radically different what's shown in the picture, took more than 1 month to arrive (from China) and when I tried to return they made all the excuses and offered me 5% of purchase price! Ridiculous!

The vanity took forever to arrive and when it did the box was so damaged. After opening the box, it came with a lot of pieces and many were broke or damaged. Instructions are in Chinese and I am missing a few key parts to it.
Will never order from them again and I encourage others to avoid this company all together. I am mad at myself for not reading reviews before I ordered this.
Tip for consumers:
Do not purchase from them!!! Product I received was cheap and broken and nearly impossible to put together

Customer Service is a complete bust. I have received conflicting stories from them regarding the status of my order, whether it be in regards to tracking my order, tracking numbers provided by them that don't work, inability to provide me with firm arrival dates for my order, simply not replying to my e-mails requesting status updates for my order, and giving vague answers to my questions. I will never use this service again and encourage others to do likewise.

The biggest scam! The merchandise arrived defective. After one week of emails, we were told that we would have to pay for return shipping and not a word about a refund yet. The quality of the merchandise is extremely poor. It's nothing like you see on their pictures.

My wife and I ordered bar chairs for our kitchen, they arrived with mould and the wrong colour.
We where then instructed to wipe the mould off (easy to clean)
We had just had our first baby so I did a bit more investigating and open the seat up. There was mould throughout the whole seat.
They would not give us a refund.
Do not ever buy anything from this web site.

If you think your going to get a bargain, do not shop here

I ordered a bed and two "matching" bdside tables from these people online. Unfortunately, I didn't review the reviews before my order. The furniture arrived and appears to be OK. The bedside tables arrived. One had a broken leg; the other was all banged up. Most importantly, they did not "match" the bed per the listing photo; not even close, difference wood etc. Tried to get refund for this and they escalated their offer to 40%, but said no refund unless I "returned" this crap which, of course would cost more than their worth. I escalated to Paypal and they refunded my money.

Stay away

I found a nice looking table approximately $400. Shipping was quick and it looks like all the parts are in the box. One problem… no instructions on how to put this thing together and lots of holes that required screws& nails etc… I am beyond frustrated. It's my fault. I didn't notice no reviews on the website itself and no reviews on the products. I didn't even look to see it was foreign. I am guessing i just threw away $400. My husband is pissed and told me never to order from the Chinese again. Let's not even forget that I have styrofoam all over my floors. Oh you can return it if you put it back in the box. I had to cut the box open to get it all out.
Tip for consumers:
This company sucks.

After ordering online in a nice photo product I was very disappointed once I received it. The were many places damaged, the quality of the wood is extremely poor, the workmanship looks like it was done with home tools. Extremely disappointed.
I contacted customer services and they offered 5% discount. I refused and after 4 emails they offered 30% discount. I still did not agree and asked for a full refund. They refused so I contacted the payment company and the full amount was refunded within 5 working days. I still assemble it. It looks much worse than expected.

I ordered a book case from this company and would like to give a 0 star review. Initially they gave no estimate on delivery, but said free delivery. They then took over 5 weeks to delivery the item. The package came completely damaged and falling apart. The items in the package were all damaged (chipped, taped, and dirty). I reached out to their chat customer care and was directed to email (no phone) and have been going back and forth on email about returning the item. They want me to pay for shipping back to China and cover the initial shipping cost that was part of the purchase price. I checked the price to return the package based on the weight and it would be $270 almost $70 more than what I paid for the garbage they sent. Stay far away from ordering anything from this company.

Stay clear of this vendor they are not what they advertise. I bought four items. One still has never arrived. The rest damaged in delivery (they are shipped in flimsy boxes from China). I have had no resolution except that I have to ship back at my own cost, and wait for replacements - and I have no confidence they will even arrive. The item missing in transit they offer no solution for.

Their products come from china and shipped on sea so a very long time to wait after you order, the website is deceiving as it only says standard delivery, it doesn't say it will come from china or actual delivery time so when it's been more than a couple of weeks of waiting I asked and they then said the expected arrival time is 3 months from date of order, when I asked to cancel it as I don't want customs taxes on top the wait as well, they were rude and won't give me the refund so beware when ordering. Product is still yet to be received and was ordered October 1st.

This company is a scam and deserves no stars. The website should be removed and they should be shut down. I purchased a chandelier that can in box that looked like it had already been opened. The interior packaging was crumbly. The overall quality of the parts that were inside were cheap. There were multiple missing brackets and parts to it. The chandelier cannot be assembled. I reach out to them. They initially showed interest in sending me the parts and then they claimed it was over the 180 days and simply replied "sorry." This is stealing. I spend $361.93 for a chandelier that I cannot assemble, use, do anything with. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

I purchased two lights from this company. The first went missing and they sent a replacement. It looked great and so I brought a second. The electrician has been here three times trying to get the lights working. I have been dealing with their customer support - who are useless.
The latest is that I have to pay to return the lights to China, they will then deduct the price of the first shipping to Australia and issue me a refund. Interesting that the refund will be about zero - oh and I have the additional expense of sending them back... I think I have spent enough on the lights and chalk it down to a very very bad experience
So do not go through the heartache of dealing with this company.
The product may look great but the quality is not there - they units just didn't work
Tip for consumers:
Do not even think about it.
Free shipping is only if there are no problems with the unit - then they charge roughly the same price as the product and take it out of the refund. But you have to send the product back to them at your expense.

This company's product is made in a very unprofessional way. I ordered the bed, it arrived one month later with terrible mold, scratches, marks with permanent markers etc. Instruction is noy clear at all. I requested the refund, they started saying only 5%, then I fought and they increased to 10%, 15%,... then they stopped 40%. When they transferred 40%, it was not correct amount of the fee. I highly recommend to AVOID this company unless they change everything to keep the business.

First of all we purchased a rug for $235 and the product took forever to arrive. Then when I open the package, it does look totally different from what to what is shown on the website I asked them for a refund in return, and they are not excepting that, the actual rug I received is less then $50. I will Websites to buy any rugs in the future and I'm not going to use this website again it is a big scam. Please be careful and do not to my mistake and use this website.

I bought three items from here and they were all poor qualities. Once I opened two packages, there were defects.
Two products were not labeled.
Another product was labeled by a permanent marker. Even they were labeled in Chinese. I contacted the customer service, and they said the highest compensation they could offer to me is 40%refund without any replacement.
The return policy doesn't state that.
Do not buy any products from here. It is waste of a Lotta money and time.
No matter how much their products are cheap. Tbh, compare to the quality, the cost is a lot expensive.
