I bought a small silver grey armchair. It's lovely, just as the pic, seems well made and is comfortable too. Delivery was well organised and the 2 delivery guys were really nice. Thoroughly recommend all aspects of the service.

The chairs were not as good a quality as we expected. We may have expected too much.

We ordered 2 x 2-packs of the Adalie Victorian style outside sensor lights. They were the best value by far of the metal bodied (rather than plastic casing) wall lights. We are very pleased with them and have surprised everyone by telling them where they are from and how much they cost - even the electricians who installed them were impressed by the quality and price. We were contacted ahead of the delivery to let us know the day they would arrive - so good service too.

The unit is actually very challenging to put up and I think you offer a service to help with this! E x

Hello Eliza, Thank you for your feedback. We do try to ensure that the instructions we provide are as clear and as easy possible however we do understand that sometimes certain items are slightly difficult to assemble. We are stocking more and more products which are classed as "easy assemble" which essentially means there is limited assembly on behalf of the customer which of course makes the process easier. Your feedback however for assistance in assembly will definitely be notified, as we progress and grow as a company we constantly assimilate and analyse all the feedback we get in order to improve service and our products for customers. Kind Regards Tyrone

I was very pleased with the product good value for money. The email from Matalan said I could track my order but I was unable to do so.

The only negative view I have is that the cushion covers are too big so I had to buy some new pads. Material and curtains are lovely.

Hello Jean, Thank you for your feedback. Its unfortunate to hear that your cushion covers were too big, we always advise that customers check the specifications on the bottom of the page to ensure that sizes are adequate. We do offer a 14 day return policy so that customers can return their products if they accidentally order the wrong size or the product is simply not to their taste.However it is great to hear that you are overall happy with your shopping experience with us. Kind regards Tyrone

Apart from the fact the courier did not contact us before delivery the rest of the experience from buying from Matalan online went extremely well. The goods ordered was exactly as described. The packaging was excellent so no damage on the wood or glass of the tables that we purchased. Would certainly recommend Matalan Online to friends and family.

I Unfortunately had a very bad experience and this has put me off of ever using matalan direct. From a happy customer who in store buys great products I was extremely let down by the dining set I received. Out of 5 peices of furniture all 5 we're recieved in a damaged state! The table had a huge dent and 3 out of 4 chairs had evidence of being dragged along the warehouse floor and the other chair had finger nail marks in the plastic which appeared to have been carried out whilst the plastic was setting. As for the no quibble return policy I didn't realise no quibble means having to submit photographic evidence of damage. Fortunately for myself I was in the position to do so but what about the customers who aren't able to provide such evidence. I feel this is very misleading statement and perhaps matalan direct needs to reword this. Whilst all the call handlers are very polite and I can't fault their telephone manner it is clear they are reading from a manuscript and unfortunately this provides no resolution or reassurance for unhappy customers. Whilst I appreciate this is a new venture for matalan quality control should be made a key goal in order to maximise profit and make loyal happy customers. The product I recieved would never of been let out on the shop floor by why should I accept it delivered to my door in such state. As the website states all queries will be returned to in a 4 hour period it took nearly two weeks to receive my money back. The courier service also needs to be reviewed as their telephone manner and service provided was poor. I am so disappointed by this whole experience and I will not be using this website again.

Hello Kirsty, Firstly i would like to apologise in regards to your overall experience whilst placing this order as it seems that it has not been great which is unfortunate as we set very high standards for ourselves here at Matalandirect. In regards to chairs being damaged, again i can only apologise regarding this as we ensure that we only accept the highest quality of products from our supplier and the standard is again checked at our hub. Unfortunately on this occasion it seems as though the order was unfortunately damaged during transit this is something which we of course notified our courier service about and they always try to ensure that products are delivered in a satisfactory condition. As we of course replace any item which has been received as damaged, we do need to see photographic evidence as this tells us if it is a design fault/damage and also as proof so that if their is a pattern of similarly damaged items we can take this to the courier service/supplier. In some cases, you are correct in stating that some customers maybe unable to do this so, however if they contact us stating this, we would of course still be happy to book a collection and get the item returned. Your feedback is appreciated as we are a relatively new division so we are always looking for ways to improve so information such as what you have provided is very helpful.Hopefully this hasn't put you off shopping with us as we value all of our customers. Kind regards Tyrone

I think you have asked the wrong person for a review, it has all been a bit of a disaster, and frankly do not have enough time or space to give a complete story of events, let's just say I am stil waiting for the order to complete.
