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.

So if anyone wants some free firewood.....
