We were really disappointed with our experience with Get Laid Beds (GLB). We chose them as they were a UK company, the beds were handmade and we had heard positive feedback. Unfortunately there were a number of issues with our order/ experience and that has left us disappointed, to the point that to be honest it's ruined the bed for us a little as by the time it was useable, we were just so done with the whole thing. Do we have a bed? yes. Would I purchase here again? Uncertain. When our order arrived there was supposed to be a bedframe, mattress protector and mattress. When the delivery arrived however there was only the flat packed bedframe. The delivery men advised the order was complete and to speak to the company. We emailed GLB, but by lunchtime the next working day we still hadn't had a response so then rang them. The staff we spoke to were lovely and said this was an error from their side and they would arrange for our missing items to be delivered at a date convenient for us. We selected the day after next. The day arrived- no delivery. We rang up again and spoke to a different, equally lovely member of staff, explaining what had happened. They said they would get back to us as they needed to look into this. We eventually got an email advising of the same error and that they would arrange delivery. Over the next couple of weeks we had to repeatedly email GLB to chase them for updates, with the mattress protector arriving alone and then approximately 2 weeks after it should have been delivered the mattress. The staff we dealt with were very nice, we cannot stress that enough, and we did get the items we ordered as well as a refund of the delivery costs. However, this went on for over 2 weeks, with us having to chase for updates and by the time the bed arrived we were at a point of wishing we had just requested a refund and cancelled the mattress portion from the start. It should also be highlighted that the mattresses do not come 'rolled' so if you have not measured correctly in terms of route to the bed- good luck! Due to how far away we are from the company's base they could not offer the function where they build it for you, only flat pack delivery. This led to our next issue once all the parts required had arrived. My partner and I have built a lot of furniture over the years, including IKEA pieces. We are not novice furniture flat pack builders. The instructions for building the bed frame (4 poster ottoman) are the worst instructions we have ever tried to use. What was most frustrating about this, besides trying to decipher awful assembly instructions while trying to build a bed, was that some extremely simple amendments could have made them excellent assembly instructions- Colour images, labelling the bed parts and matching them to the parts of the instruction sheets, written guidance regarding when to do which part, or even better a printed web address link to a youtube video of them buidling the bed that you could follow along. The instructions being as poor as they were meant that it took us so much longer than necessary and some parts we had to undo to then redo because we had got the order wrong. We also ordered the black satin finish, but the images on the website and what is currently errected in our bedroom do not match up. It looks more of a dark walnut brown in colour. There was also some minor damage to the wood, we suspect from the couriers as they weren't exactly delicate. We could have gone back to GLB about it, but by that point we were very done with all of it and just wanted to put the whole experience behind us. Had we not had the issues with the delivery that we did and had the buidling process not be so frustrating and unnecessarily poor, this would have been a completely different review but we just can't get over how disappointed those things have left us.
