Plato C 8 x 10 shed

I think this is the best ‘flat pack’ item I have ever come across. The shed is super rigid when assembled, the components are all individually marked for easy identification and the instructions are brilliant. The overall quality of the shed and the attention to detail by the designers is first rate, and my overall impression is well beyond my expectation. This shed is way better than any timber shed I’ve seen – even the lock is included on the solid handles. It’s important to note that 2 full days are required to assemble all the components, but it is worth it. There was only one small issue in that some holes were missing / on the wrong face in the C47/C47a components for self-tapping screws, but I soon drilled them myself. I hope this helps and I can certainly recommend this shed to anybody – just assemble step by step, following the instructions exactly.

Extremely disappointed in there service.

Ordered a garden set back in June. It arrived relatively quickly but unfortunately it arrived broken. I got in touch straight away and they agreed to replace the damaged section.
On the 24th of July, after chasing them for information they let me know they were having Issue colour matching the furniture so asked if I could be in to accept the delivery to check for my self the colour matched. I explained that would be fine, but I would need advance notice to ensure I could get the time off work to be home for this.
14th of August and still nothing. So again I chased for a update.
After a call with management on the 19th of August I was assured again this would be sorted out. Again, no one got intouch and I contacted them again on the 10th of September and was told someone would be intouch to arrange delivery soon.

On the 16th of September they called me at 6pm in the evening asking to deliver it the 11an next day.
I was not able to arrange for anyone to be there for delivery with such short notice and made them aware.
Since then I have had no contact or no further information about having this issue corrected.

Extremely disappointed in this service. I have had to chase for updates at every single point and have been left for weeks with no contact or information.
14 weeks since i first got in touch, the summer is over and I have not been able to make use of the furniture I purchased.

Florian three seat swing hammock

Have been using Florian three seat swing hammock (heavy duty) for a couple of months now. Nice looking but condition poor.
1. Scratches to poles on opening boxes and removing plastic coverings.
2.part missing from canopy fixing so unable to use with the canopy attached.
3. Two months in and rust is appearing on frame poles.
4. Cushions very poor quality fabric and foam. Soon feel the pole underneath the seat as foam lacks density. Cover fabric looks cheap and shiny. Also gets incredibly hot in sunshine. Was better with additional throw put over it. Because fabric is shiny the base cushion slips and moves once someone has sat on it, meaning it constantly needs adjustment under the three back cushions to be able to sit comfortably.
Not a great purchase. Don’t expect it to last the winter, quality wise, even with a cover on. Not what I’d describe as heavy duty.

Can't have enough benches in your garden!

Bought my 3rd Garden Bench in 10 days since my first review on 18/8/26 - Viewpoint 2 Seat Polywood Bench Light Grey at £99 & free delivery cannot go wrong with this fantastic bargain.
Fast delivery by DX, easy to put together.
