Many reviewers like Living & Home’s electric fires and some furniture, saying items arrive quickly and match the listing. Several point to strong value on media-wall fires and specific deals. A repeated set of complaints focuses on refunds that aren’t resolved, missing postage refunds, and collections or returns that don’t happen. Reviews split sharply between satisfaction with the products and frequent breakdowns in service or quality.
Examples from available reviews (Jun 2024 – Mar 2026).
Media wall fire was good value and delivered swiftly.
“Great media wall fire at a great price, with swift delivery!”
Great service and prompt delivery.
“Great service and prompt delivery.”
After-sales and returns were repeatedly promised but collections never happened.
“After sales and returns appalling, promises to collect and return fire on six occasions and no one ever turns up”
Order cancelled but refund omitted the postage cost of £2.99.
“refund is short the £2.99 postage I paid.”
Many reviewers describe returns that don’t go through, missed collections, and refunds that drag on. Others mention quick delivery and staff who resend missing parts. Overall, unresolved after-sales problems appear more often than the smaller number of positive service stories.
Reviewers often describe fireplaces and media-wall units as good value or “worth every penny.” Several mention promotional prices and deals. Few negative reviews focus on value itself; most criticism centres on refunds or extra costs that weren’t returned.
Several customers say ordering online was easy and delivery was straightforward. Some report difficult assembly or appliances that run loudly once delivered. Others had orders cancelled or delayed without enough follow-up, which soured the experience for those buyers.
Many reviews mention items arriving damaged, faulty, or poor quality, including cracked parts, rotted artificial trees, leaking sheds, and faulty lights. Positive reviews describe sturdy furniture and fires that feel solid and meet expectations. Defect complaints often come with problems getting replacements or refunds.
Some reviewers praise clear updates, helpful replies, and tracking that matched expectations. Others report cancellations with no explanation, tracking that still shows items with the sender, and automated or ignored responses. When communication slips, reviewers often end up stuck with refund delays or repeated failed collections.
Feedback splits between very happy purchases of fires and some furniture, and unhappy experiences tied to returns, refunds, and damaged items. This contrast shows up repeatedly, not just in a few reviews. Anyone buying large or fragile items should weigh the positive delivery reports against the after-sales issues others describe.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.
