Arrived unbroken and on time

I received an email confirmation and tracking information. the package arrived on time. The product was as pictured/ described, not broken. A bonus was it was a good price.

I was nervous about ordering from this site due to bad reviews, but it worked out.

New area Rur

I received my order quickly and love the rug. It’s well made and as described. My only regret is not ordering the larger size. I will definitely order from this company again and tell my friends and family about the experience.

Better than expected

Easy website to navigate. A Scheduled in home delivery was communicated very well and on time with a polite delivery team. My item was packed very well, box was flawless, and item is better than I even expected! I am very happy with it

Great Product!

After we ordered the lamp, we received an email from English Elm explaining the lamp was out of stock and we could cancel or wait for the next shipment to arrive in May. We chose to wait for the lamp to come back into stock as we were looking for this particular style of lamp to replace a similar one that had quit working. We were surprised when we received a notice it had been shipped as it is early March! We received it on the 4th and the lamp was in a cardboard box well packed in styrofoam and is almost identical to the lamp it's replacing. Construction was very good, assembly was easy and the package included 2 lightbulbs for the lamp. We are very pleased with the product!

Very poor / rude customer service- sent links to login to my account and view order status when I emailed asking simple question about eta of my further backordered item.

You can buy all these items at retailers who actually value your business, buy elsewhere.

You'll never see your money again

In September 2025, I ordered a couch from their website, which appeared to be in stock. Shortly after ordering, I received an email saying the item was NOT in stock and was on back order for 3 months. They said they would hold my order until the item is available, so I was willing to wait because I really wanted this specific couch. After 3 months passed, I got another email saying it's still on back order and would be another 3 months wait. At this point in time, I started looking for other options and ended up finding the couch elsewhere. I requested to cancel the order and get my money back, which they said was possible at any point while it was on back order. They initially responded with a cancellation and claimed to have issued a refund. However, I ran into an issue with receiving my refund via PayPal (the original payment method). As soon I became aware of this, I reached out to them asking if they could help me get a refund another way. Over 4 messages and nearly 2 weeks later, they have refused to respond to any of my messages, and I'm out over $800 now. Neither my bank nor PayPal will help me, as they've both confirmed the only place my money could be is with English Elm, who are refusing to respond to or refund me.

Word of advice: DO NOT order something from them if you ever plan to need your money back. It won't happen.

Hi Bethany, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration surrounding the backorder delays and refund process. We completely understand how upsetting this situation must be, especially after waiting so long for the item and then encountering issues with the refund. This is not the experience we want for our customers. Please email us at sales@englishelm.com with your order details so we can review your case immediately and work toward resolving the refund as quickly as possible.

Excellent Communication!

These were discontinued at the first place where I had bought 6 chairs. I needed 4 more. They were back ordered but I was able to make my purchase and English Elm kept me informed all the way up to delivery to my door a few months later.

A great experience and I will be back to shop again!
