We have been purchasing metal poles and accessories from Made by the Forge for some years now. Our clients love them. They are lovely hand-made pieces that stand the test of time. We come back to them again and again as they cannot be replicated with lesser lookalikes.

Really very helpful in helping us choose the best option. And then sent us an extra ring, at no charge, when we realised we were one short. Highly recommend this company

Beautifully made item
The curtain rail and fittings are really well made, and now we have the curtain that we had made to hang on it, it looks perfect. Easy to navigate instructions on the site to get the perfect for the space and arrived within the specified time.
