Read this with interest - particularly the comment about Made.com having a good product.
My experience is they were more style over substance! I say that having bought a number of items over the years. Loved the look... but the quality was often very poor. I had to return a bedside table that was clearly badly glued, and had chips - caused not in transit, but in the factory.
My most recent purchase was the most disappointing. I needed a wine rack (well, two actually!) and my dad bought them for me. One for Xmas, one for my birthday - although I opened them both at Xmas.
Not only are they badly made (gluing, chips, dents), what's worse - and unbelieveable - is that wine bottles don't fit! Great if you only drink Riesling - long, thin bottles - but if you like a Burgundy, or a Champagne/Prosecco... no chance! The vast majority of my wine-collection of "typical" bottles simply won't fit in the holes!
Photos available!
Made have now gone bust, so we looked to claim on my Dad's credit card - unfortunately, protection only kicks in at £100.... and they cost £96.
That’s really interesting. I’d gone by a mixture of other people I know who had Made orders in the past. If your experience is common, that also suggests the product played a part (wonder if this was due to overstocking towards the end of the pandemic and then needing to cut costs). Duly corrected!
Don't know if it's common, but over a number of years I had at least 3 orders where the item arrived and was poor quality and returned. I didn't hear/see other complaints, to be fair, but 3 instances is pretty bad luck!

Excellent insights as always!
