Jon-Luke Kirton
It must be noted that The product and service was good at the sales and delivery stage and the premachining and oiling service was excellent. It was afterwards problems began. As we have later found out, wood only expands across the grain. When our worktop expanded,as expected of a natural material, the end caps did not expand in the same direction, as the grain was perpendicular. As a result the end caps started to come away from the main worksurface within a few weeks. The end caps are strongly recommended being seen as vital protective featureless freestanding ovens (to stop the worktop splitting) with an added bonus of being aesthetically appealing. The customer service team repeatedly tried to fob us off with unapologetic and illogical advice. Firstly they suggested that I room the end caps and they would send new ones to be reinstalled at the current width of worktop, which is changeable, thereby suggesting a temporary solution with expectation of a repeat of the problem. Secondly they suggested sand in the worktop front down to meet the end caps. However, these are breaking away from the worktop, so this was missing the issue. We were made to feel stupid, unreasonable and blamed despite the fault not being our own. We should never have been reasonably requested to make modifications to a product. Eventually after much communication and waiting a replacement was offered, but we still waiting arrangements on this. This is slowing our kitchen project significantly and no compensation is being offered for the cost of reinstalling the replacement, or for the stress and inconvenience caused. This is to be the worst experience I have had of customer service, they seem to be more interested in how little they can get away with shelling out than customer satisfaction. Whilst polite throughout the process the company were detached unapologetic and human, using stock phrases instead of genuine engagement with our problem.
