Needed a new kettle

We needed a new kettle after ours finally gave up, and the old one had died in the middle of making a cup of tea. I'd not ordered from here before so I was a bit unsure. Everything was clear at checkout and it arrived well packed. Works perfectly and boils fast.

yeah would get again

Honestly really good, got a cheap bedside table for my room and it arrived quick. Easy to order on my phone too, didn't have to make an account lol. Would get from here again.

needed a replacement dustpan

I needed a replacement dustpan and brush set for the garage because the old one had split. Having used a fair few over the years I know what I want, and this is adequate but the bristles are a bit stiff and the handle feels cheap. It does the job and the price was reasonable, though I'd expect a little more for the money.

Solid ironing board cover

Bought the replacement cover for our ironing board. I'd looked at a few places first, including the big supermarket sites, and this one was the cheapest for a proper fitted cover with the heat reflective layer. The elastic is firm and it sits flat with no wrinkles. Went on in about two minutes and it's held up well through a few weeks of use so far.

The tog rating on the duvet

The tog rating on the duvet is clearly listed, which is what I always check first. Went for the 13.5 tog for winter and it's properly warm without being stifling. Good weight, filling is even, no clumps after the first wash.

Cheaper than amazon

Compared it to ordering the same thing off amazon and this was a few quid less so I went with it. Didn't love waiting an extra day for it to arrive though. Stuff's fine tbh, nothing wrong with it.

Better than the one from the shop

Got a shower caddy on here and it's way better than the one I'd picked up from the shop, which was flimsy and rusted in a month. This one is solid and the suction cups actually hold. Ordering was dead easy on my phone and it turned up quicker than I thought it would.

Blackout curtains for the nursery

I bought a pair of blackout curtains for the nursery, having compared a few sites first. These were around the middle price and the blackout is genuinely good, the room is properly dark at nap time. Delivery took a bit longer than the estimate, which was the only niggle, but the curtains themselves are great and fit the rail.

a sturdier option than the other place

I had been looking at a rather similar set elsewhere but I found the one from here to be a far more sturdy option for the money. The sheets have a good thread count and the fitted corners are deep enough for our mattress. I found the ordering pages straightforward to follow, which I appreciate. Thank you for a pleasant experience.

Been ordering from them for years

I've been buying from this site since about 2016 and it's still my go to for bits around the house. This time I wanted a replacement bathroom mat set and the checkout was quick as always. The only niggle was the delivery window, they said between 8 and 6 and it turned up at quarter to six, which is fine but I had to wait in. Prices are about the same as they've always been.

dearer than the other place

First time ordering from them and I went with it over a site I'd used before. Turned out it was a fair bit more than the same thing elsewhere, which annoyed me a bit. The order itself was simple enough but the delivery slot took ages to pick and then the courier turned up at the wrong time. Not the end of the world but I'd check prices before buying.

First order and fine

Ordered a laundry basket and it's exactly what I needed for my new place. Checkout was simple and I got a confirmation straight away. Delivery turned up on time and nothing was damaged.

hall mirror

Bought a hall mirror that's a fair bit taller than the last one, and it's the first thing I'd recommend to anyone with a narrow hallway. Quick to order on my phone during a break and it came in a single box with the fixings included. Hung it up in about twenty minutes and it's solid on the wall.

the lamp we got

The little detail I noticed straight away was that the lamp came with the bulb already fitted, which saved me a trip to get one. It's a nice warm light and the shade is well made. Ordered on a Sunday night and it arrived Tuesday, so yeah, really happy with it.

Needed some storage for the flat

Needed some storage for the flat cause the wardrobe is tiny and everything was on the floor. Got a set of stacking boxes with lids, and they fit under the bed which was the whole point. Quality seems decent for the money, they're sturdy enough and the lids snap on properly. Ordering was easy and they arrived in a couple of days, no fuss at all, and I've already told my housemate to get the same ones for her room.

needed a towel set for uni

Needed a towel set cause I'm moving into a flat and mine are falling apart lol. Got a pack of bath towels and hand towels, they're soft and quite thick, way better than what I had. Delivery was pretty quick too, arrived in like two days.

Great for a quick buy

Good, would buy again. Ordered a set of three bathroom bins on Monday evening from my phone, which took maybe five minutes, and they arrived Thursday. Colour matches the photos and they're sturdy enough. Didn't have to call anyone or wait for a reply to anything, which was nice when I was in a rush to get the bathroom sorted before the weekend.

Quick and easy

Really happy with this, would order again. Found what I needed in a couple of minutes on my lunch break, checkout was quick and it turned up two days later just as the tracking said. Nothing to complain about, which is what I want when I'm rushing.

Bedding set for the spare room

Bought a cotton bedding set for the spare room because our guest bed has been looking tired. The price is decent for what you get, and the sheets feel nice, a bit crisp at first and then softer after a wash. The pillowcases are a touch smaller than I expected so the pillows are a bit snug, but it's not a big deal. Delivery was quick and nothing arrived damaged.
