Furniture from Dwell - Is it any good?

Hi,

Has anyone bought any furniture from Dwell before and is it any good?

Thanks

I bought a glass display/storage unit from there about a year ago. It was better quality (and cheaper) than a similar Habitat one we'd seen. We've also bought outside lights, cushions and some other bits from there, and have been pleased with the quality.

Some of the heavier stuff is only available as home delivery, not pickup (like our glass unit). Having said that, I wouldn't have wanted to transport that myself, so didn't mind paying for delivery, as the overall cost was still very competitive. Sometimes they do have free delivery offers.

I'd definitely shop with them again: thumbs up from me.

Hi

I bought quite a few items from Dwell when I bought a place last year. It looks good, but assembly wasn't always the easiest, and in cases when it came ready assembled, I'm finding that the front of drawers (for example) are wanting to come off, and need to be hammered back on.

I think it is quite expensive for what is (mostly) flat packed furniture. That said, as the previous poster mentioned, it is significantly cheaper than Habitat, most of which is also self assembly.

Seems to be one of the few furniture shops that haven't gone down in the recession.

The furniture looks modern and fairly well priced, just a bit dubious about the quality.

I do like it, the quality isn't amazing though. Although I have no idea what stuff like sofas are like- all the stuff i bought was chest of drawers, bedside tables and shelves and stuff.

I liked Ilva but that went under about 2 weeks after buying some things from them :rolleyes:
