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!
LItfad has absolutely boorish rude customer service. I recomend never buy anything from them. When I sent complain on their email on rude unprofessional service which I faced in their chat among resolving my issue - I get respond in email from them Just "OK".

Worst nightmare ever.
We were so happy to build in family our son new desk after waiting for months for its delivery.
Packaging arrived damaged. Parts were broken inside.
We still wanted to give it a try but it went from bad to worse that we almost cried after a few hours working on this piece of sh….
As an engineer, I can tell you that whomever design those furnitures should get fired right away.
Very poor engineering. Bad quality of raw material and even hardware broke.
They marked some pieces to help build but it is marked in black permanent marker which is visible for everyone to see once the furniture is finished. Very poor finished details.
Instructions are in "Asian" not to say Chinese and even these have poor quality pictures and explanations.
Customer support will tell you to send back the product at your cost to China even if they are at fault for all the reasons above but they don't even give you an address. Just a name of a "Chinese" town. No street number. No street name.
NO REFUND even if they are at fault for all the reasons above.
Why did we try this $#*!ty company/ website?
STAY AWAY! You will waste your money.
SCAM!
I will not even use this fake wood for the fireplace

STAY AWAY and if you did not, file a complaint !!!

I am a US customer and saw a beautiful light fixture where the power is standard 110-120V. The fixture was installed as per Litfad's power source but caused a fire. They are telling me to send back the fixture which is FAR more expensive than the purchase cost.
The fixture is nice, but the light is NOT what they represented.
Tip for consumers:
american express dispute said the return policy is stated as such.
TOTALLY not worth buying something offshore.

When you visit the Litfad website you are greeted with glossy pictures of furniture that you think will look nice in your home. I was enticed thinking that all prices are in GBP the website gives no indication that its actually some dreadful outfit in China.In addition the website fails to mention that its going to take months for your order to arrive and that when it does eventually get delivered, it will be so smashed up and unusable, your only option is to request a full refund.
Then they play games offering 10,20 and 30 and even 40% refund after you refuse to accept their "gracious offer" of 40% and bonus, you get to keep your smashed up cheap S**T they have delivered you.
Its a con, close your browser tab move away from Litfad as fast as you can and clear your browser cache.
Read all the reviews of horror stories other victims like myself have similar experience. An average of 1 star should tell you all you need to know. Avoid Avoid and Avoid, you will save your money and get better quality elsewhere.
Tip for consumers:
During the ordering process you get "Free Shipping" when you request a return they want to reclaim out of the pitiful 40% refund, the shipping costs but wont pay to ship the junk back to China.

I will not give any star for this website! I purchase a small faux leather sofa and cost me almost $1200. Then I revived a fiber sofa nothing looks like leather after 1.5 months waiting! It is just a regular fiber sofa without any faux leather layer and very easy to get dirty and hard to use wet cloth to wipe out the dirt. Besides that they shipping the sofa without any protection just a simple kraft box and I received a sofa with tow legs distorted and came out from the original package. Because the two sofa legs broken siding shipping and they can not function normally to support the sofa! After I contacted with the support team, they are very rule and mean. They say either I pay people to pick it up and ship it back then they will refund me the money without the shipping fees! Be carful they mentioned is they will NOT refund me the shipping fee I paid upfront to ship the sofa to my house PLUS the shipping fee I paid to ship back the defective sofa. After back and forth negotiations, they just gave me discount for the purchase but they never be responsible for their dishonesty and irresponsibility. They are not willing to pay the shipping to take the broken sofa back and refund me ALL the cost! Do not buy anything from this website they are lying and treating to make money!

Bought two sets of the bar stools. All damaged or completely broke in side if boxes. It looks like not brand new items. Email to support team in 20 mins after delivery. They refused to exchange or return my money. I called to my credit card to dispute the charge. Eventually they said to me they will refund my money if I will send it back to China.it took me two months to get my money. Sent a lot of emails back and forth, sent set of pictures. They do not have quality team, otherwise they would not send me a garbage. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THEM! WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. STAY A WAY FROM THAT WEBSITE

Placed my order for some long bar tables order September 21. Had no idea it was going to take 11 weeks to arrive. It is shipped on a boat from China. I knew it wasn't going to be the best stuff but when it arrived it was mangled beyond use and you can tell how cheap it is. They barely had any padding to protect the tables legs and top and that resulted in it being ruined. Metal legs were bent, all corners of the cheap laminate table were chipped. I emailed and complained and they advised that they were sorry about would ship me a new one by air and it would take 2-4 weeks and they promised they would add extra padding. Well 6 weeks passed and I emailed to see what the status was and they advised that they only ship by sea even though I have an email stating that it was coming by air. 9 weeks later the second shipment arrives the exact same as the first, chipped, dented, and this time it had some warped wood from water damage. They say you can return it but you have to pay for the return. I've got no idea how much it would cost to ship a giant 95 pound box to China but I'm not going to find out. The tables are in the garbage. Save yourself some time and money and do not buy anything from this company.

Avoid like the plague! SCAM SCAM SCAM!
I ordered a desk in august, it is now nearly December and I still don't have it!
I must've sent a hundred emails back and forth, always different excuses and pathetic email responses. They are now telling me to chase DPD for them.
This is a total rip off site that I believe is a thinly veiled money laundering scam.
I should have read the other reviews. They briefly managed to get me to remove my review with promise of refund and the desk in 7 days, that was weeks ago. So my review is back where it should be.
Trust me, do not waste your time and money on these scum
EDIT 28/11 after leaving bad review, they contacted me and offered me £20 or 15% voucher, I accepted the £20 and they now refuse to send it until I leave a 3-5 star FAKE review. I refused and so they refused the gesture.
Any positive review on here is likely bought by them! Absolutely disgusting "service", and I still have no item and they are now turning argumentative as though I am being unreasonable

The absolute worst experience I have ever had with an online company. I only received two out of three packages and they were all damaged (after waiting 45 days). I reported it and I was led to believe that they were shipping out a replacement immediately, which I was fine with at that time. 30 days later I inquired about a tracking number and if it had been shipped. Needless to say it had not and then I was told it would be another 60 days. I asked for them to refund my money, they offered a 5% discount then a 10% discount. I still refused and all of sudden I have to send the damaged product back (which they never asked for previously) at my expense, then they will refund my money minus the original shipping cost that were supposes to be included in the price to begin with. HORRIBLE! Not to mention that this is all being communicated through email because you cannot talk to anyone. This company should not be allowed to operate in the US. I always read reviews, except for this one time when I needed to the most because I would not have purchased if I had. Hopefully nobody else will either.

Original order was placed on 26th November 21. We contacted Litfad on 20th January to learn that our order had been shipped by sea and would take a couple of months to arrive. On the 24th February our lights finally arrived. Unfortunately one of these was faulty. Having contacted Litfad to advise them of this. They agreed to despatch a replacement. I then asked them to ship this by Air or expedited post, which I would bare the costs of. Litfad agreed to this and advised that the replacement light had been shipped by Air at no charge. Later I was to learn that Litfad had lied and this replacement item had been shipped by sea. Again. It is now the 5th May and I have still yet to receive the replacement light. My advice would be never ever use this company.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site it will take three months for the items to arrive and if they are faulty, like led lights. They will send you an Led strip and expect you to dismantle the light fitting and repair the fitting yourself, rather than send a new light.

Avoid this company at all costs. I made that mistake and regret it dearly. Why?
Litfad does not state their products are shipped from China, and only returnable to China (at your expense no less). So you are stuck. These important facts are no indicated nor made clear when you order. Shipping is very, very slow, and you'd be lucky to get a tracking order.
Quality, despite the "nice" European design look, the quality is... well Chinese. Very shoddy, I had to clean up all the edges of all the planks. Instructions were missing, tech support is not customer focused and their English is below rudimentary. Some planks were missing holes.
There are no plastic screw caps provided to conceal the ugly big catch screws that hold the planks together.
Furniture is shown with lighting in the online catalog. But no lighting is provided even though it is mentioned in the instructions I finally received by e-mail (after asking several times).
Assembling the planks is not "German engineering" either. It is Chinese engineering. As a designer I had to re-engineer the whole assembly to make the construction sturdier.
Finally the tempered glass on some of the doors came stained (from chemical bath I suppose or treatment). The stains cannot be removed and Litfad will not send new glass doors,despite sending pictures.
Do yourself a favor. Stay away from Litfad. I promise you my review is more than an opinion. I experienced everything I wrote. Stay away.
Tip for consumers:
Don't shop at Litfad. Chinese made shoddy quality. Shipped from China (takes a long time to arrive), returnable to China at customer's expense. Article displayed like this bookshelf and the other units I ordered show nice lighting. But Litfad does not include lighting in their products (even though I asked). Deceptive advertising.
