Unsafe!!! Don’t be fooled! The quality is terrible. After a few weeks, you'll be left with an unsafe piece of wood as sofa that's a danger to your family's well-being. Tho M twice and even thousands of times if necessary. The warranty is not real !!!

Dunelm sold us some defective curtain linings that we could not use. They refused to give us a replacement as we had lost the proof of purchase. I took them back in the packaging with the instructions. It is their policy!

If no stars were available this is what they’d be getting. Shocking experience from start to finish. Their customer service is shocking. Placed an order in the week and this was cancelled without giving a reason. They then asked me to reorder it, which I do to then request next day delivery. I waited in for this item all day as it was a large item and then they messaged me in the evening to cancel this item again. Shocking company. Do not order large pieces of expensive furniture and they will take your money instantly and not deliver it. When I’ve tried talking on the live chat, the lovely Declan C decided to end the chat with me so then I couldn’t communicate further with Dunelm. Stay way clear. Reading some of the view their items and look cheap and tacky anyway!

Tried for over an hour today to buy a rug online. Won't let me sign in as my email has changed since last purchase. Followed their instructions on how to change email address - doesn't work! Tried to open new account- doesn't work! Tried to ring customer services but, after being on hold for half an hour, gave up. Dunelm, you need to have a word with yourselves! You have just lost a customer and an expensive order!!

I placed a click and collect yesterday evening at 6.30pm. My email said the order should be ready to collect after 2 hours. The store closed at 8pm and reopened at 9am the next morning. I went into the Maidstone store at 9.30am, thinking that was 2 hours of opening time overall (6.30pm to 8pm and then 9am to 9.30am). I was told that my order wasn't ready to collect yet, which under normal circumstances is fair enough. But my mum has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and only a few months to live. I was told at 5.30pm yesterday evening that she was going to be moved to end of care accommodation at midday today. The end of care accommodation has no net curtains or regular curtains and is overlooked by a road and other houses. I desperately wanted to get my mum some net curtains put up before she reached the accommodation at 12.30pm and so I apologised to the staff for coming in right on 2 hours of collection time, but explained that my mum is terminally ill and needs net curtains to protect her privacy in her end of life accommodation from early afternoon today (she will need to be strip washed in bed and have her incontinence pads changed in bed - she will be 100 percent bedbound and cared for by carers). I don't want people seeing my mum naked whilst being bed washed, which is the reason why I needed the net curtains so urgently. I did my best to explain this to two members of staff at Dunelm Maidstone and I was really friendly and polite. I even offered twice to go and get the items from the shelf myself and cancel the click and collect order, but they refused to let me do this. The first member of staff was quite stroppy with me, and moaned at me for a good two minutes that I was early and shouldn't have come in before I received a collection ready email. The second member of staff literally raised her voice very loudly to me and ranted and raged that I'd turned up early. When I explained about my mum being terminally ill and apologised for being early, they both ignored me and wouldn't even look at me. They both just walked off after I'd paid for me order and didn't say anything in response to my apology or to me saying my mum is terminally ill. I was humiliated because they ranted at me in front of several other customers. I was so embarrassed and shocked by their raising voices at me and ranting at me that I almost burst into tears when I left the store. When I got to the end of life accommodation I had a big cry in private about how they'd spoken to me. No matter how early someone turns up for a click and collect order, they don't deserve to be ranted and raged at and embarrassed in front of other customers. I have complained to the customer service department online and all they said was that customers shouldn't turn up before receiving a click and collect ready email and that my complaint will be passed to the Maidstone store, but that they never give feedback on a complaint. Again, there was no apology or kindness from the customer service team either. I doubt I will ever shop in Dunelm Maidstone ever again. Heartless and rude and shouty staff.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID Unfortunately cannot give zero stars or what should really be minus stars! My advice to anyone thinking of using their online service is DON'T the company will give you a delivery date which will not be met so you have to rearrange any tradesmen again. Delivery of fragile goods such as ceramic item will have zero protective covering such as bubble wrap or polystyrene . As for any level of customer service; this doesn't exist anywhere in this company. I have written up to board level and got no reply. The majority of the customer service staff cannot even read the email you send and if you do get any form of response it will be utter cr*p. I live in Scotland and they thought that was in the Channel Islands - their intelligence levels are on par with an Amoeba! I gave up trying to resolve the poor customer service level for the sake of my own health. JUST DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM.

UPDATE: contacting the CEO or any other team members and they'll either ignore you or refer you to the Customer Care team without ever responding to you personally. The Customer Care team just dismiss everything we say or ask, and didn't know the facts regarding how to clean the sofa as per the video and instructions on the Dunelm product page for the sofa. Michelle from the Customer Care team had to confirm the correct way to clean our sofa after she argued and accused us of not following the guidelines, based on wrong facts and details in the Emmiera report by Russell. Michelle from Customer Care just keeps telling us that she is going along with the wrong information and won't look into it any further or work out a resolution. We have tried taking this issue to West Yorkshire Trading Standards Service ADR scheme as per the Dunelm Complaints procedure. It states that if you are unhappy with the resolution from Dunelm, you can contact ADR... but the catch, if you try - you have to have consent from Dunelm that they'll participate. Dunelm has declined to participate and told us to go to Trading Standards instead. Just a heads-up for anyone considering the Carson Deep Sit Vivalife Stain-Resistant Fabric Corner Sofa from Dunelm. We bought it in November 2022 for £1,314.05, and it’s been nothing but trouble. Here’s what we’ve experienced: - Mould is growing inside the cushions—even the ones that haven’t been cleaned. - Despite being advertised as stain-resistant, the sofa stains and turns blue/black when cleaned according to the provided instructions. - There's a strange black glitter-like substance that transfers to skin and is hard to remove. - Dunelm sent a technician who initially told us it was a manufacturing fault, but their final report falsely blames us for "using the wrong cleaning methods." The report is full of mistakes, including irrelevant advice about cleaning garden furniture! - The sofa cushions are supposed to be water-resistant, but they’ve clearly soaked up moisture, causing the mould—despite us following the instructions and air-drying the cushions. We're being accused of mistreating the sofa without any real proof, and we're stuck with a product that doesn't meet the standards of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If you're looking for a sofa, I’d steer clear of this one.

This morning I received 1 of 2 parcels from an online order. Upon opening the grey / cream throw has a red thread going through it. Who on earth is doing there quality check. Its quite shocking that it was allowed to be sent out to be delivered to a customer as its very noticeable. Very disappointing experience

I have visited Dunelm Cribbs Causeway on numerous occasions, everytime the toilets are dirty and not cleaned properly.I have complained and I have been reassured that they are cleaned daily , I think the Manager’s interpretation of clean is completely different from mine !!

The staff in the cafe are really nice, which is more than I can say about the sausage bun, whatever the sausage is that they're using they need to STOP and buy better, it was awful 😞

My order didn’t arrive.The delivery company produced a picture of it on a van seat.I complained to them and received an apology.Despite numerous emails to Dunelm including the response from Evri advising it was lost I received no response.Obviously no communication between them.I would never order on line from this company again and waste my money.

Nu ajunge nimic bun la destinatie datorita ca dunelm angajaza oameni fara experienta iar box sant aruncate cu piciorul si trantite rupte asa ca cumparati produse deteriorate.

5* - First class customer service yesterday by Ant at Stockport. He helped me to choose the right bedding range, was very knowledgeable and professional. Nothing was too much trouble attitude and even offered to take my chosen items to be kept at check out whilst I finished my shop. I wish all customer service personnel were like this!

Yet again, your delivery service is absolutely rubbish, our item was supposed to be specifically delivered today, we wait in, and we have just received a phone call from AIT confirming we need to select a date next week, so will now need to book a days holiday !!! As a loyal customer who was planning to buy many more items for a home renovation, yet again your service is shocking... Your company has been going down hill for a while. You urgently need to sort your systems out, as you have now lost a VERY loyal customer who has spent thousands over the years !!!
