Urbanara
Reviews & Experiences

Reviews in this dataset show a clear pattern of delivery and customer-service problems: delayed or missing orders, repeated reschedules and difficulties obtaining refunds are commonly reported. Product feedback is mixed—several customers praise material quality for towels and bedding while others report wrong, damaged or poor-quality items. Communication problems recur: reviewers describe unanswered emails, inaccessible phone lines and templated responses. If you are considering a purchase, confirm current shipping times, return procedures and payment protections (card or buyer-protection services) before ordering, and check for updates on the company’s operational status.

McLaughlin 4/5

I recently purchased some homewares from Urbanara and I must say, I am extremely satisfied with my experience. From start to finish, the process was seamless and enjoyable.

Firstly, their website is laid out in a way that makes it easy to find what you are looking for. The categories are well-organised and everything is presented beautifully. It's evident that they take great care in curating their collection of high-quality, natural home accessories.

When I placed my order, shipping was fast and efficient. My package arrived promptly and everything was carefully packaged to ensure none of the items were damaged during transit.

The products themselves were exactly as described on the website - beautiful rugs, bedding, blankets and curtains in timeless designs. Everything is made from high-quality materials which makes them feel durable yet luxurious at the same time.

I really appreciate their 100-day returns policy too - it gives peace of mind when shopping online knowing that if something doesn't quite work out or live up to expectations, returning it will be hassle-free.

Overall, I would highly recommend Urbanara for anyone looking for natural homewares in timeless designs. Their attention to detail throughout every step of the buying process has left me feeling confident that future purchases will also exceed expectations
