Many people find the assembly process quite straightforward and truly appreciate the sturdy final look of their new garden buildings. Buyers often mention that the structures look wonderful once built and bring a lot of joy to their families.

Not worth the money we paid

To say I’m angry is an understatement. The money we paid for the shed is certainly not reflected in the quality of what we’ve received. It’s absolutely not what I expected, and I’m extremely disappointed. If I could upload pictures, I would, because they would show exactly what I mean. I’m honestly not happy at all and feel that the shed is nowhere near the standard we paid for.

We’re very sorry to hear how disappointed and frustrated you are with the quality of your shed. This certainly isn’t the experience we want our customers to have.

We would really like the opportunity to understand exactly what has happened and see the issues you’ve described. Unfortunately, we’re unable to identify your order from the review alone, so we haven’t been able to look into this further.

We’ll be reaching out to you directly, and if you’re able to provide some photographs of the areas you’re unhappy with, we’d be very happy to review these and see how we can assist.

We’re sorry that you feel the shed has not met the standard you expected, and we hope we can work with you to put this right.

Fantastic Team, fantastic product!

Everything has been fantastic from start to finish. The office team were helpful and informative at all times. The delivery driver was great, arrived when he said he would, placed everything carefully and in a safe place. The following day Jason and Derek arrived and worked hard all day in the crazy heat. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A great team! I am absolutely delighted with the end result and cannot thank everyone enough.
Kindest regards,
Sara Barlow, Chester.

Beware of the outdoor kitchen...

The outdoor kitchen itself (purchased via Robert Dyas) is sturdy and was easy to put together. The advised pictures on both the Mercia and Robert Dyas websites show a joined run of stainless steel worktop, which was specifically why we purchased this kitchen over the Zest equivalent.
What you get sent, instead of a kitchen, is 4 individual units (on double, once corner, two singles) all of which has their own part of the worktop, with large gaps between each piece. Having been back and forth with Mercia I was then offered a mere £50 to close my complaint! Hilarious, less than 10% of the value of the full kitchen. Thank goodness I paid on credit card and can therefore utilise that protection. I don't want to return this as there was nothing at all wrong with it, I just want a worktop that fits! Very frustrating!

No delivery issues at all, great guys and came exactly when they said they would.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you were happy with the delivery and found the kitchen sturdy and easy to assemble. We’re sorry, however, that the worktop configuration did not meet your expectations and understand how frustrating this must have been. We appreciate your feedback regarding the website imagery and will ensure this is passed on to the relevant team for review.

Very Poor Quality Product... Avoid!!!

We bought a summer house which was very poor quality. The finish on many of the cut tongue and groove boards is rough and this means the boards are not in line with each other leading to gaps in the walls. It is going to take a lot of filler and extra time to ensure the structure is wind and waterproof. Many boards have holes where the knots in the wood have fallen out. All in all a very poor quality product which I now wish we had never purchased.

Bought this summerhouse looks good in pictures but roof trusses are split in 2 instead of one long o piece and very flimsy u shape brackets to hold them together so roof was bowing in middle phoned company and their solution was push wood closer but it wouldn’t go any closer together and we send out new felt but used extra brackets and it still looks a little bowed in centre but rest of summerhouse seems fine

Atrocious

Atrocious
Ordered a playhouse from Argos at a cost of £400 for my daughter’s birthday. Paid to have this installed at a cost to myself. When it was put up there was a massive gap around the door. The diamond pieces were missing and the window crosses really poor quality. Contacted Argos and was sent back to the manufacturer. Initially they said there was no issue. Eventually Argos said they would replace the house for the correct one. The manufacturer then said they would be sending the same specification (poor one) so this was cancelled. I would never have ordered this house had I know it would have a massive gap around the door. I’ve now been sent back to Argos who are equally unhelpful. Avoid if you can

We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your playhouse and the experience you've had.

We appreciate your concerns regarding the gap around the door. However, this feature is intentional and is designed to comply with EN71 safety regulations, which apply to children's play equipment. As such, we are unable to alter or supply a door without this safety gap.

We're also sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the decorative diamond pieces and window crosses. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us review our products and processes.

We understand this has been a frustrating experience and apologise that we haven't met your expectations.

Split wood

A lot of the panels on the shed have been split due to the nail gun pressure when the boards have been put on to the frame other than that it’s a really easy shed to put together

I contacted Mercia Garden Products because we moved a garden shed for a friend when she moved. Unfortunately one of the door gliders broke and Steve answered my email. The shed was purchased ten a a half years ago from Global Garden Sheds and Mercia Garden products have now taken over. Steve went above and beyond and managed to find two gliders for us and send them to us which enabled the door to be used again. He was very polite and helpful all through the exchange of emails and taking the time and trouble to identify the shed from photos and some pictures from the instruction book. Thank you Steve.

Very unhelpful, don’t use them

Very unhelpful when they damage your delivery. I needed some parts replaced but expect you to keep taking multiple photos and trying to send them. Even when there delivery driver has taken photos and told them he’s caused damage. They message you asking what parts you need to your message of the parts you need. List goes on and on

They expect disabled people to keep trying to get photos

We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with your experience.

We appreciate that providing photographs can be difficult, particularly in your circumstances. However, we do require images of any damaged parts before we can arrange replacements. This allows us to identify the correct components and ensure the right parts are sent, even where delivery damage has been reported.

I can see that we have now received the required photographs, and the replacement parts have been ordered for you.

We appreciate your patience and apologise for the frustration this process has caused.

Was ok apart from the floor that cause all the issues as wasn't square and the 3 sections wouldn't butt together correctly causing the walls in 1 corner to be almost 2 inches apart. Luckily I'm it trades so has some 2x2 to hand to make good but needed lots of sealant and a feather edge board. Thankfully this was in a rear corner where it isn't seen. Even with a fully flagged level base though the floor is also very bouncy and feels weak in areas like it going to go through

The product was not to standards that I would hoped. The quality of the cuts on the panels were poor, panels had too many knots and holes. It seemed like I was buying a second hand shed.

Regarding the size, the dimensions shown on our product listing are the external roof dimensions, with the exact footprint and base measurements detailed within the specification section. We appreciate this can sometimes cause confusion, and we're sorry if the measurements were not what you were expecting.

We're also sorry to hear of your concerns regarding the quality of the timber. Our buildings are manufactured using responsibly sourced timber and are designed to provide a durable garden building when assembled and maintained in line with our care instructions.

We value your feedback and will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant teams as we continue to review our products and product information.

Delivery driver was very well mannered,polite and helpful nothing was a problem.
Goods arrived in good condition and in good time.
I received a two hour time window and a phone call from the driver half an hour before delivery.
The quality of the timber is excellent and the fixtures and fittings are a high quality also.
The whole experience was second to none and I would highly recommend Mercia Garden products to others.
