We went to Hertfordshire branch to touch and feel the furniture before we ordered it. The staff were just brilliant on the day and the showrooms are really nice. We ended up spending a lot more as we were able to visualise and feel the product.
The quality is great and everything explained to us matched on delivery. Highly recommended!!

Poor Customer Service
I purchased a Nova Pergola, including installation, but the entire process was deeply disorganized. First, I was upsold accessories that proved to be incompatible with the product. Next, the company failed to process the installation order for several weeks, leaving the product boxes exposed to the weather on my driveway. When installers finally arrived, essential parts were missing. Resolving these overlapping issues required weeks of constant phone calls and emails. At one point, customer service even demanded that I prove I had paid for installation, despite it being clearly listed on the receipt they had issued. To conclude a very poor experience, the company offered a goodwill gesture but ultimately failed to honour it. Based on this unreliable service and lack of accountability, I cannot recommend this company.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had with your Nova Pergola and the issues you’ve encountered throughout the process. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with incompatible accessories, delays with the installation, missing parts, and the need to make repeated calls and send emails to get these matters addressed. We’re also sorry for the confusion regarding the installation payment and the goodwill gesture that you feel was not honoured.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’re sorry that the level of service you received did not meet the standard we aim to provide.
We can see that you are already dealing with one of our team members regarding these concerns, and we hope we can work with you directly to address the outstanding matters and put things right as much as possible.
Thank you again for your patience while this is being looked into.
Kind Regards,
White Stores Team

5 Stars - Would 100% Order From Again
We ordered a Shadow pergola, Leah furniture set and Leah loungers from WhiteStores, and overall we’ve been really happy with the whole experience.
Joe in the Milton Keynes store was really helpful at the time and gave us confidence to go ahead with the order. The furniture itself was very easy to put together, feels really nice quality, and looks great.
Delivery was quick - actually quicker than expected in the end, which was a nice bonus.
During the process I also called WhiteStores customer service a couple of times with questions around the pergola install, and they were always helpful. Afterwards, Finlay and Matthew in customer care were also really helpful with a couple of further questions I had.
The only small thing I’d mention is that the installation guide supplied with the Shadow pergola wasn’t the clearest, and some of the measurements could have been more accurate, which made the install harder than it probably needed to be. That said, I think this is more to do with the pergola manufacturer than WhiteStores themselves. In fairness to WhiteStores, when I called them about it, they were able to help, had the answers I needed, and said it had already been raised before and they were trying to rectify it.
Overall, really pleased with the products and service. Would definitely recommend WhiteStores.

Having purchased from you before we came back to buy an umbrella and a pair of sun loungers
The table with the sun loungers is solid but we were surprised when we opened the box to see a marbled white pattern as if a child had been at it with a pen set.
To date after many e mails and an in person call into the Surrey store we still have not received a answer as to why the description on the box and on your site has no mention of the table finish. Have e mailed customer service and asked to take our complaint higher

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience with the table finish. We completely understand your frustration, especially as a returning customer and after you’ve already tried to seek assistance through email and by visiting our Surrey store.
Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to locate any emails from you with our Aftersales team regarding this issue. We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further and understand exactly what you have received.
We are reaching out to you directly advising to send us some clear photos, or a short video clip, showing the table and the marbled finish you have described? This will allow our team to assess the issue and investigate this with you further.
We look forward to hearing back from you and hope we can get this looked into and assist you as quickly as possible.
