“Furniture is good quality however very much let down by the dispatch/delivery process. Due to poor packaging or careless handling we had to reject a chair and a steamer chair. In both cases the cardboard boxes were badly damaged. I believe they had either been dropped or thrown about. No issue with Humber Imports when I emailed pictures of the damage, replacement items were sent which leads me to think this isn't an isolated incident.”

“I bought two Lutchens benches and one was badly damaged. Very embarrassing as it was a gift for my daughter. Delivery was good, price also competitive but I am disappointed with the quality and particularly the condition of the second bench. To have to return it meant re-packing, leaving it somewhere safe and secure for collection and waiting for a new one as the company was out of stock.”

“Thanks for coming back to me, just to let you know one of the teak benches you supplied. Had one of the legs 12 millimetre shorter than the other ones fitted to the same bench. We then had to screw a small packer onto the leg to make it level. We did this to save the inconvenience of returning back to you & waiting for a replacement. If you want me to send a photo I can do , but as I run my own business time is of the essence. Thanks & Regards. Charles Russell”

“Have had 8 seat extending teak garden furniture since March 2014 - still in excellent condition. Recently had need to contact customer services regarding problem with one of the centre hinges - replacements were received free of charge by return. Recommend highly.”

“Good customer service, quality product, sadly let down by abysmal attitude if delivery driver who dumped full pallet in front of our drive so we could not move our car in order to get our delivery in. When asked to move it told us it's kerbside delivery and it's on the kerbside, he's too busy to move it and left.”

“In August we bought a Deauville 8 seater garden set and here’s some thoughts about our acquisition: - • A friend bought a table and chairs from Humber Imports and we were impressed with the smooth finish and how solid the furniture was. • So we ordered online and got a call from Humber Imports confirming our order and saying we would get a couple of days notice of delivery. In the event we got 15 minutes warning of the delivery from the truck driver, I’m not sure what would have happened if we were out / away for a few days? • The lorry had a pallet truck and we were able to get the goods near our garage and the driver swiftly departed. We had to break down the pallet immediately as we were blocking our lane. The chairs and particularly the table are very heavy but we just managed to move them into our garage along with a 1 x 1.2m pallet we hadn’t reckoned on. They were well packaged. • Putting the legs onto the table was straight forward and comes with instructions which are fairly idiot proof. • The table and chairs were beautiful teak but we felt that we would like further protection for the wood so we purchased “OLI-Natura Yacht and Teak Oil, Natur - Uncoloured”. It was quite a labour of love putting two coats onto the chairs and table but the teak came to life and looks magnificent. • Several of the joints in both the table and chairs have been glued and the glue has been allowed to run. Where there was dried glue, the teak oil is not absorbed which leaves discoloured patches around joints but most are not immediately obvious. • Whilst painting on the teak oil our attention was drawn to several marks and scratches on the table surface and then we found that the small beams that supported the butterfly table extensions were not secured very well and both were coming away from the underside of the table. We had to drill new holes and put in more screws and glue to fix these beams back in place. • It is very easy to put too much teak oil onto the wood and it will run and leave marks. You need to wipe down all surfaces after applying the oil to ensure an even finish. • We also purchased covers for the table and chairs. They are sized for the furniture, but we are disappointed in their water proofing quality as they are already allowing some moisture through them onto the furniture. We are not sure how much use the covers will be over a Scottish winter and we will have to source alternative ones. Whilst the table and chairs look good, the construction of them is basic, simple, mass produced but solid. The finish is good and the teak oil has brought the wood to life. We are pleased with our purchase except for the covers which are disappointing. Now all we need is sunny weather …..”

“The price of the product is cheaper than others around. I was disappointed with manufacturing faults on opening the table and chairs. The company gave me a small refund to compensate.”

“The product is adequate. It'll do until a proper one is delivered. Ordered, awaiting delivery, they say. Four holes didn't line up, and the parts were seemingly randomly labelled. Four screws left over too as they failed to do anything, but. The real one is a stunner, and we await with trepidation the delivery.”

“Product is good, price is good, but minimal customer service. When I asked if we could be given extra help to remove old table etc (for which I was happy to pay extra) I was given very short shrift. Table and chairs were delivered by one man who struggled to get it to our front door. He certainly couldn't help to get them anywhere near our garden (or help to construct the table) so we needed to employ people to move the table from our hallway to the garden and then to construct the table. So add that expense to the original cost and it doesn't look such a good deal. Frustrating experience that I would not repeat.”
