We ordered our Florence table and eight chairs on 7 December with a lead time of 12 weeks. It was unfortunate however that the company were unable to deliver the furniture until after Easter (which was disappointing as we had a large group for Easter Sunday lunch and has to squeeze 10 people round a table designed for a maximum on 6). We were not kept updated with the situation and it was only after I had chased the order, that I was advised due to covid there was a delay. Quite understandable, but it would have been nice to be notified of the problem. The table is lovely and we are delighted with it. It really fits in well and provides us with space we were looking for. The chairs however, are a completely different matter. They are so uncomfortable and the seat is very short. Even standard seat pads hang over the edge of the chair by a considerable amount. I contacted the company to advise them of the problem we were experiencing with the chairs and enquired if there was any possibility of changing them, but were merely told they were standard chairs and swapping them out would be a “costly exercise”! We have therefore decided to use the chairs from our old dining suite and will paint them to match the table, also having to source two further chairs to bring us up to 8! Indeed a costly exercise!!!!! Overall my experience of Country Life Furniture has not been satisfactory. A shame, because the principal behind the company of using reclaimed wood is a very good one.
