Product quality

Reviews that criticise the company repeatedly mention poor product quality. At least one higher-rated review says the products matched the descriptions and felt high quality. Positive notes on quality appear, but less often than the critical ones.

📞

Communication

Many reviewers say customer service becomes unresponsive or disappears once problems start. Some describe staff as dismissive or rude, while others point to unclear information about shipping and import charges. A few mention helpful or clear communication, but these comments are limited.

Overall experience

The reviews show a sharp split between buyers happy with the products and buyers who ran into fulfilment and support failures. Several accounts describe unresolved orders and financial loss alongside a minority of positive purchases. Overall, reliability appears inconsistent from order to order.

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
