Dear John,

Apart from the shoe rack, oval mirror and dressing table mirror which are still well packed, everthing has been checked and assembled. It is all perfect and we are absolutely thrilled to bits. It looks beautifull and we are looking forward to moving into our new bedroom.

I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Best regards,

Hi John, just to let you know the furniture has arrived; your driver was v helpful - everything was intact and is UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL!! I am particularly delighted re the step cabinet which I know was a bargain price - it fits beautifully in the space we have; and the other items are gorgeous. Only slight regret is (not your fault), that with hindsight, I think I would have prefered the matt items to be lacquered - have you any tips about how I might lacquer them? Should I use a varnish, or a special lacquer? Obviously I wouldn't hold you responsible for any result - I thought to experiment with lacquer on the back of the smallest cabinet to see if it would work. I am having to restrain myself from looking at your website for other items....

Regards,
Helen Heaton

Dear john,

Firstly thank you for replying to me so soon and secondly thank you so much for such beautiful furniture!
I have not had a chance to check it fully, but a slight problem is that the "Long Life" door handles to the display cabinet do not match. Two are gold colour and the other two seem to be a dull tarnished grey colour.  Any chance you could send us a set of four matching handles please? (preferably the polished gold colour) ( We sent them same day to replace the tarnished ones ). Overall your service has been exceptional and the delivery men delivered inside the house (unfortunately they arrived at around 6pm because of traffic).

Best Regards,

Najeeb

Hi John,

The TV cabinet arrived in perfect condition and I am delighted. I now wish to obtain quotes for some more items.
Item 1. Bedside cabinet FF7352L but measuring 20" wide x 17" high x 20"deep. The photograph in the web catalogue appears to have carving around the drawer handles. I would want it in Rosewood but no carving on the drawers and no holes for handles. (I will obtain my own handles and drill holes to suite.) Same colour and finish as the TV cabinet. Rear of cabinet to have sams finish as sides.
Item 2. European style buffet ff7314e. Colour and finish to be decided but probably same as TV cabinet. Measurements same as catalogue.
Item 3. Chest of drawers same design as FFF5CHEST but measuring 1000mm wide x 650mm high x 400mm deep.  This will probably mean two rows of three drawers. Colour and finish to be decided. No handles or holes.

Thank you very much for the courtesy and prompt service you provided for the supply of the TV cabinet. 

Sincerely,

John Harding

Dear Mr Williams ,

Our furniture arrived safely yesterday afternoon and we have been filling it up ever since! The colour is perfect and we are delighted with the quality. The matching Queen Anne items all go really well and we are grateful to you for arranging this 'made to measure' design. The plate glass is as ordered, except that the piece for the six-drawer chest is short on the length by about 1 inch. This is a slight disappointment as everything else is so good. Once again, thank you for your most efficient and helpful service and for the lovely bedroom furniture. With kind regards and all good wishes for Christmas.

Barrie ** The factory will replace the shortened panel of glass on the next shipment

John,

My dressing table arrived this morning in perfect condition, well worth the wait! It is even more beautiful than I expected, the photo didn't do it justice at all. It has transformed the bedroom, really exquisite. Now I just have to keep my three sticky fingered daughters away from it! Thank you for an honest, efficient service,which calmed any nerves associated with buying an unseen from the unknown.

Thank you once again.

Dear John,

I thought you might like some feedback The delivery driver was a gem! He had a hard time trying to get the very heavy crates along our gravel driveway and managed this on his own. Please thank him.
After spending an age unpacking the crates, all arrived in mint condition. The desk is beautiful and exceeds our expectations. Throughout, you have kept updated and we cannot fault this excellent service and an excellent product. A big thank you.

Raymond Jackson

Hi John

J ust to let you know that the tables we ordered from you arrived ok on Tuesday 5th at approx 10:15 am. We are very pleased with our purchase, but may I suggest that on any future shipments the bottom parts of the legs be also wrapped in protective paper.
I mention this because as the tables are packed laid on their backs, the bottom show marks where they have been touching and the vibration during transit has rubbed the colour away.

Regards

Ray

Hi John

My rosewood order was received this morning. (it was a good job I was in as the delivery company never phoned to arrange a date) The Buffet and cushions were received in perfect condition. I reckon the crate weighed more than the Buffet. Great product and a great price and service from you.

What more could I ask for.

Dear John

Yes, cabinet was fully as expected. The finish is excellent and it's quite a good colour match. I like the touch of extra brass shelf supports (used to secure shelves in transit!). It butts up to and fits exactly with an existing bookcase.

Excellent service - Thank you

Hi John

I do want you to know how very delighted I am with the service I've received from you and Finesse - again on this - my third order. The furniture is by far the best rosewood furniture that I've seen, both in this country and in my various travels round the world, including those to Hong Kong. It really has to be seen to appreciate the quality.

Since you delivered it, the house has been transformed, and now really is a great home. I've dealt with many retailers over the years, including many internet based one, and you get the gold medal for being the best!!!

With very best wishes

Patrick

Hey John

The furniture arrived in excellent condition. The finish on the pieces looks great. However, I did not see the 'touch up kit' described on your web pages. I checked the drawers of the altar table, but they were empty. I didn't see anything else in the crate.

Please can you send me one for future use

Dear John

Many thanks for all your help. Despite the enormous amount of paperwork for importation and bureaucracy by the various bodies who want part of the action here in New Zealand - the furniture has arrived. 
Having left Hong Kong 25 years ago it reminds me once again of the superb qualilty of the furniture produced in this part of the world. Your products are even better than the rosewood I bought whilst in Hong Kong - so you must have a very good factory that you are dealing with. Please pass on my gratitude to them .
An amusing aside; the delivery truck despite all advice tried to get up our steep drive and embedded, ultimately getting another truck to haul it out and gouge a fair bit of the road. So we opened the crates on the roadside to the interest of passer by. Thank you John for your help in getting this order to me - it was invaluable. I am over the moon with my purchase and will be back for more when we redecorate the next room.

Hello John

The furniture has been delivered on monday the 13th at our place. All the goods are well packed in a professional way as ship-cargo! Today we unpacked the 5 cases and all the goods are in a perfect condition. We admire the craftsmanship of the cabinet maker.

The crates are also to be useful for me as I can put them on my wood burning stove. This furniture is really beautiful - much more so than you can normally find in Belgium. I feel lucky I found your site on the Internet. Thank you for your great product and service.

Indeed it was worth waiting, it is simply incredible, we were all astonished....

Hi John

Hope you had a good holiday. Anyway, we're absolutely delighted with it and it looks stunning in the dining room. The size and colour are perfect and delivery was on time, courteous etc. the only problem was the time it took to unpack!!

You weren't joking about the care and attention to packing. It has taken my husband over an hour to unpack the crates. Whilst this is hard work - I suppose at least it is a safe way to ensure the products arrive in the best condition possible. When you finally get through the wooden crates and unwrap the furniture - it all becomes so worthwhile.

Simply beautiful - and such great value for money.

I have just taken delivery of my Dining table and chairs - and wanted to let you know how delighted I am with my purchase. The colour and finish match the rest of my decor perfectly. I am so pleased I found you as the shop I bought at before in Gerrards Cross was almost 3 times the price !

It was called Orientique and did furniture very similar to yours. However it was a lot more expensive. I still cannot believe that I found you on the internet when you are so close to my home. Thanks very much for all your expertise and help.
