I ordered a Palma Luxe sofa and armchair set online during the Black Friday promotion on 28th November. You accepted my order and took payment in full. (Order No 37200) I had no subsequent correspondence so a week or so later I called to enquire about delivery. I was then told my order couldn't be processed because you had run out of stock. I dealt with a very helpful lady who, like me, couldn't understand why your systems had accepted my online order which you couldn't fulfil. She asked her manager if there was any way of compromising on the then offer against new stock in January. He declined to make any gesture to recognise my disappointment and required the lady I spoke to on the phone to apologise but refuse to honour the proposed online transaction in any way. I have to say she was very polite and seemed genuinely sorry for my disappointment, and not a little confused as to how it had happened. I eventually got my payment refunded but one wonders how long you would have kept payment had I not chased. So contrary to the email inviting me to comment on my recent purchase from Kettler, I haven't successfully bought anything. I am therefore unable to recommend either my experience of dealing with your company or the product itself because didn't get the one I tried to purchase. The fact that your computer system both accepted an order for a product you no longer stocked and sought a review from me on the false premise that I had bought it, gives me no faith in your sale and order systems at all.

Thank you for your review, Richard and we are sorry to learn of the issue you experienced whilst ordering once of our Black Friday products. We can only assume that the issue was caused by an internal software fault and we apologise for the disappointment that this has caused. We are pleased that your refund has been received and hope that you are able to find a suitable alternative for the product you wished to order.

We purchased the Charlbury 6 seater dining set and winter cover. We were initially impressed but 3 years on and a few weeks out of warranty the rattan in the table top started to disintegrate. Customer services had no interest and just stated that it was out of warranty. This is poor quality furniture sold at a high premium, we paid almost £2000 for the set and had we been told it had a three year life expectancy we would have bought from a better quality brand. I am planning on displaying the table top outside of J. Lewis Chichester next spring so that others can make an informed choice.

whilst the products are good I am very disappointed in the return/refund policy. After returning some lamps, at my expense, the refund amount was then also reduced by £99. Overall this was an excessive deduction for a brand-new product that was immediately returned.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your Review. I have looked into this and can see that the reason that the whole amount of your initial order hasnt been refunded is because we have only received 1 product returned. On your original order, you purchased 2 heaters ( One Over Hang and One Table Top) and we have only received the overhang one back as a return. The £99.00 which we have not refunded is for the Table Top Heater which we have not had returned. If this is incorrect then please get in touch with our team as soon as possible and we will gladly look into this further for you.

Bought covers for Palma furniture and firepit table. They have completely faded from mid grey to pale grey/mauve in just one summer. They look dreadful-Contacted Kettler who after several emails simply didn’t want to know. Customer service is appalling. The photos show what they advertise and what it then looks like, avoid paying for Kettler branded covers

Had our barbecue less than 5 years, the wheels and feet came off at different stages of moving it around the garden. Clearly not suitable for purpose or up to Trading standards. The spit kept slipping and when I contacted customer service they said I had to produce the receipt. My brother ( recently deceased) bought me this but their was no compassion or leeway from the customer service manager as to why I could not produce a receipt from my dead brothers email address and he would not offer any concession! If this barbecue didn’t have sentimental value I would tip it! Also not a single response from the Director! Extremely poor service! I REALLY WOULD NOT BOTHER BUYING ANYTHING FROM THESE AGAIN.

We are sorry that you have been disappointed with our response to your claim, S. As explained to you by our team, the reason that we cannot meet your expectation with supplying free parts is not solely due to you being unable to provide a receipt, but that it has been confirmed that your product is over 2 years outside of the manufacturers warranty. You have a 2 year warranty on the product for any functional fault however, as you have stated in your review the product is nearly 5 years old. We hope that you do get to enjoy many more uses from the product with your replacement parts and once again, we are sorry for the disappointment that our response has caused.

Shocking. NEVER, EVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. Six months on I'm left with a defective product that cost over £600. No-one is taking responsibility. I have lost count of the number of emails and phone calls I have made to resolve the issue. Poor build quality on Kettler outdoor box, struts jammed on both boxes that have been delivered, replacement sent to wrong address two times, missed delivery days, don't return my phone calls etc, etc. The manager Dean Byford has repeatedly promised to call me to discuss and never has - it's beyond belief that a company can operate and make a profit when they behave like this. Customer first is not a concept this company understand, they choose to grab your money and run

Purchased on the 9th of August from White Hall Garden centre. Please see attached pics of the delivery of the furniture. I had one package with one cushion which was full of condensation and the cushion smell was disgusting and discoloured. I made White Hall Garden centre aware and after weeks of no replies, I now get replies asking for more photographs as Kettler won't supply a new cushion. I should have returned all of this furniture immediately instead of assuming as I bought a Kettler product there would not be any issues with a replacement cushion. Thanks Paul

Appalling customer service and shockingly bad quality for what is advertised as a premium product DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. Bought a metal garden storage box at £600+ through a vendor. When we assembled it we found it had the wrong piston arms provided, they were jammed and the lid of the box was damaged. Waited months for a replacement (plus a 3 week delay where the courier company lost the delivery because Kettler provided the wrong address to them). A quick Google search had shown that other customers had had the same issue with the piston arms, therefore we specifically requested the product was checked before dispatch. The replacement arrived with EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE but this time the sides of the box were of such poor quality that it took 3 people to force it together. I have lost count of the number of phone calls and emails I’ve sent chasing a resolution and have been blanked by the manager who is supposed to be dealing with it since 2 Sep. Interestingly, the Customer Service Agents who have been involved have been very professional but do not seem to have the power to resolve the issues. Perhaps the managers should be sacked and replaced with their team who know a few things about Customer Service. Overall, we are DISGUSTED - this company just want to take your money and couldn’t give a monkeys about providing a quality product or good service. Warranty Claim Approved WC1021648

I purchased 2 Elba corner sofas last year with Kettler’s own covers. They look stunning, but unfortunately the cushions are really not suited to the UK climate as they absorb water in even a light shower and if they get caught in a downpour the cushions foam. They take a very long time to dry out and when they do there are white scummy marks which don’t clean off. In addition the waterproof covers aren’t fully waterproof! I have taken this up with Kettler and their response was to bring the cushions indoors when not in use, not really practicable for 2 large sofa sets and which defeats the object of having outdoor furniture. In response to the issue with the cushions, they said they would send replacement covers, which doesn’t really answer the underlying issue. However I have been waiting 10 months for these and they are now saying that they won’t have them until at least March 2023, despite still offering the sofas for sale. Their service was initially responsive, but now is non-existent. Really disappointed.

Thank you for your review and feedback. I was so sorry to read your comments and I can appreciate the disappointment this has caused you. Our protective covers are advertised as water-resistant, they are not fully water-proof. Protective covers should be used to protect the furniture from UV light, frost, tree sap and bird droppings. They should not be used to cover the cushions for long periods of time. We recommend storing the cushions indoors when not in use to prevent any damages commonly caused by turbulent weather. In regards to the replacement cushion covers, I can only apologise for the delay caused by further stock issues. Once we receive the stock, you will be contacted as a priority to arrange your delivery.

Shocking customer service, hole in rattan weave after a few weeks on sun lounger due to clear manufacturing fault, obstinate customer service department will not accept despite submitting clear photographic evidence.

Absolutely shocking customer service, 3 year warranty is worthless. Rattan furniture has torn on corner due to clear manufacturing fault but Kettler claim accidental damage despite clear photos showing the reason for the failure. Avoid this company as they are not prepared to stand by their reputation.

I ordered a cover for my brand new Kettler Palma Fire Pit table on 22 July in good faith. Apparently TNT couldn’t find my address (no other delivery drivers have an issue and there’s only 6 houses in our postcode). I chased Kettler on the 27th they said they would dispatch it via the Royal Mail and that it would arrive Tuesday 2nd August. Today is the 3rd August and it’s not here still !!! My thoughts, the Kettler furniture is good but the customer service and their delivery side are awful. If you can get what you want from Somewhere else I would advise you to do that.

We purchased furniture costing more than £3000 last year to find it has faded considerably despite claims it is UV resistant, maintenance free and will not fade in quality. Kettler aftersales have continually suggested that we use different products to restore it - This has not worked - they then stated that we must have cleaned it using a material that removed the coating - a totally untrue and frankly disgraceful assumption. At every turn have been fobbed off with excuse after excuse. Poor quality furniture and customer care.

Update: 08/08/2022 Since receiving your review, I can see that we have been in touch with your husband to replace the table slats free of charge so that you are able to enjoy using your table for years to come. We hope that this has gone a little way in restoring your faith in the Kettler brand.

We bought two Elba Loungers. In the heat of a month or so back the edging warped and the lounger needed replacing. Customer Service was good though and a replacement appeared after a few weeks. Another bout of Sun last week and that failed in the same way after only two days. Now there is no stock available until 2023 apparently. Given the cost, the quality issues are disappointing to say the least. Will be returning the second failed one and the other one that so far seems OK as one lounger is not much use.
