What Customers think of us and our products
Let customers speak for us
Ordered this without viewing. Slightly nervous! Beautifully wrapped. Love the care taken. Beautiful chair. Very happy.
Delivered promptly and assembled too….delighted with the table.
Absolutely love the table that ‘Design In The Sand’ created for us, it is beautifully made and looks great in our new kitchen. We loved the birch wood end-grain table top combined with the painted legs, but we wanted a simpler narrower leg, nothing was too much trouble and Tim designed a tapered leg which looks fab on the square birch table top. Communication from beginning to end was excellent and I would thoroughly recommend them.
Delighted with my shelving unit better than a ercol and at a fraction of the price, very easy to construct as the instructions are clear and simple, excellent quality , and a reliable courier service , there’s a matching sideboard as well,
Beautiful table, amazing customer service and very happy with the product
I absolutely love my farmhouse dining table. Tim was available throughout the order process and worked to create a bespoke frame in order to get around a very narrow entrance way. I chose a bespoke farrow and ball colour and including the remaining paint on delivery for any future touch ups was a lovely bonus. Would thoroughly recommend - the table is of excellent quality as is the customer service! Thank you so much Tim!
Great communications during and after the whole ordering process. I had very specific requirements and they were all fully met. Even suggested a few changes against my own wants which turned out better - great advice! After using it now as the desk top for my sit/stand desk I can thoroughly recommend. Thanks again!
Absolutely delighted with my table and chairs, lovely quality and something different
Love it!
