The couch we spotted was in a different colour but they rang all their branches for us, to see if the one we wanted was available. As it wasn't in stock they ordered it straight away from the supplier and it arrived in due course. they don't stock luxury items however Des kelly's is a great place to shop for furniture on a budget. Some great bargains to be had from time to time. they also stock carpets and wooden floors.

I don't usually write reviews, but after my experience with Deskelly, I feel it's important to…read moreshare. When we first visited the Tallaght branch, the staff were extremely helpful, especially Colm, who really went out of his way to assist us. This gave us confidence to go with Deskelly, even though their pricing was only average compared to other quotes. We chose them because we expected professionalism and reliability from a larger company. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. Endless Postponements: Dates we had confirmed in the shop were not entered into their system. More than once, I was told last-minute that the fitting was postponed, including on the very morning I was expecting them. This caused huge stress, especially since I had to rearrange the delivery of a new bed and other furniture several times. Customer Care Issues: Communication with customer care was one of the most frustrating parts. Calls were cut off while I was still talking, promises of follow-up were not kept, and I constantly had to chase updates myself. The lack of respect for my time and situation was very disappointing. Inconsistent Fitting Standards: The LVT team did an excellent, clean job. The carpet fitting, however, was messy and inconsistent. Some areas were left unfinished, and in one case the fitter admitted he had used leftover carpet because the measurement hadn't been done properly. Since Deskelly themselves took the measurements, I don't understand how this could happen, and I was left feeling like I had to accept poor standards for something I paid a premium for. In the end, the work was only completed after weeks of stress, delays, and unnecessary back-and-forth. For a company that presents itself as professional and charges above handyman prices, I honestly expected far better. Overall, while some staff tried to help (again, Colm was excellent), the overall process was exhausting, uncoordinated, and frustrating. I would strongly urge Deskelly to improve their communication, scheduling, and accountability so that future customers don't go through what I did. I left this experience frustrated and disappointed, and I genuinely cannot recommend them.

Sure the astronomical costs for delicate steel-ribboned chandeliers and huge, dripping front hall-bling pitched most of the stock far out of my budget.

The showroom itself is incredible, and it's clear to see why major hotels and developers look here for something special to sparkle in multi-million euro lobbies.

I walked into this shop hoping to buy a nice tea cosy, the place is jammers with cool stuff. Things like chopping boards that fold up for easy scooping into a pot, and spatulas with a bump to keep the spatula head off the kitchen table and thus keeping the table clean. These are really good ideas, and you look at the prices and think that they're expensive, but maybe they're good value... Anyway, after a few hours of unsuccessful search, I pull a member of their staff away from her Facebook to ask where Tea Cosies can be found. They have a lot of tea cosies, it has to be said, I spent a good 20 minutes deciding between the cosy shaped like a hen or the bottom up design for €20 In the end, function over fashion, the bottom up design won (see photo). I then remembered I needed a doorstop for the house. I found a bucket'o'doorstops and picked one up, no excitement needed here! At the checkout my bill came to €27, which was €7 for the doorstop. I was like "ok, that's fair", compared to this €20 tea cosy, that seems like the going rate. But thankfully I managed to cop myself on to this absolute ripoff. They are actually trying to charge me €7 for a piece of plastic which does nowt but use friction to resist the door's gravity... So I just went to Dunnes and got one for €0.50 instead!. Anyway, this story only justifies a 2 star location, but they go down to a 1 star shop in my opinion because of their TERRIBLE hours. Stock closes at 5:30, and is closed all Sunday. Suddenly I understand why their prices have to be so high.

This is a review specifically concentrating on the Habitat tiling range in Homebase…read more I went into Homebase to purchase tiles from their Habitat range. It says on the stand that they take 14 days to deliver. Grand, I knew it was going to be a push for my builders, but I thought, these will be worth it. Firstly, they don't have any samples to look at of the tiles, except the ones that are fixed to the stand, so you have to use your imagination to see what goes with what. They also don't have them in any brochure, and it seems that most of the staff there have no idea about the range. When I finally found someone who could help me (who did try her best to be fair), she told me that there was "no point" in me buying these tiles from the store, because they could sometimes take two months for delivery. She advised me to buy the products from the website as then they would arrive within a week. So off I went to do that. Fine, until I realised that they don't deliver to Republic of Ireland. Great. Luckily enough I had discovered Parcel Motel (an 'in-between' company who have a Newry address who will receive your package, then forward onto you for a nominal fee). I went to order the tiles, then realised that actually most of the ones displayed in the store were in fact unavailable on the website. I was so sick of it all at this stage that I just changed the colour scheme and went ahead to order whatever was available. I got confirmation that the goods would arrive within 14 days. That was five weeks ago now and there's no sign. I have called Homebase several times since and had various answers from them, most recently that the tiles are actually out of stock. They have no idea when they will be back in stock, as they buy them in from Habitat. They never thought in all this time that perhaps if they were out of stock, that they should ring me, the customer, to let me know. They never thought that the hold up on these tiles is actually holding up an entire building project. I'm now waiting for their manufacturer to call me to let me know what's happening with them. I've been advised that if I don't hear from them, I should call Homebase back in 48 hours. I presume that will result in me waiting on hold for another half an hour, busily paying the phone bill for such a call. Absolutely terrible service, I would never buy anything like this from them again.

Experience with Karl's Furniture in Dublin…read more Hello, I want to share with you my personal experience with Karl's Furniture shop located in Dublin. I loved the choice of sofas that they have in the shop. So decided to buy one, I placed my order on 05.11.2011 and they told me that they will try to deliver this before Christmas, but cannot promise. But normally they would deliver within 8 weeks. They never called, so in mid January 2012 I decided to give them a ring to find out where is my new sofa. They promised to give me call back, which never happen. So after few days I called them again and again... and again. So at this stage I experienced very bad customer service. On Staurday 21.01.2011 (after 11 weeks of waiting) they called me and said that sofa never arrived and they don't know why. So I just went there to cancel order and get deposit back. I already bought a lot of furnitures in shops around Dublin and this experience was the worst one. Please note, that I'm only sharing my own opinion of their service. Thanks, Aleksander
