Quality products at affordable prices

Midlands Furniture is an online furniture store that has been established for over 30 years. It specialises in the sale of living, dining room and bedroom furniture including bedside cabinets, wardrobes & dressing tables. All items are available to be customised by you to your desired specifications through their design-a-room function making them versatile. I have recently purchased a chest of drawers from Midlands Furniture which was being sold for £99 with free delivery included. The entire process took under 10 minutes to complete as all I had to do was measure the dimensions of my old chest of drawers so they could be aware of how much space there would be around each item should the new one be any bigger or smaller than its predecessor.

I was asked to specify the colour of the wall that my new unit would be up against, a choice between white and pink. After choosing pink I was asked which shade i'd like it painted in, from a selection of various options including primrose yellow. Once this portion of the design-a-room section had been completed i was directed back to an overview page where all items needed were clearly displayed for me to check over. This part included confirmation of delivery dates, payment information and also whether or not I wanted any assembly done to my unit should I have chosen the option during the design-a-room step. All details regarding these aspects can be altered before purchase if need be. The longest stage involved filling out a short questionnaire about my buying preferences and this included a box to state whether i wanted a traditional or modern look for the unit I was purchasing. From there i simply selected a colour, entered in my address and payment information and confirmed everything - Job done. I received confirmation of purchase immediately after by email which contained all of the order details, from here I could track it's journey to me if need be. I also recived two text messages regarding delivery time shortly before it arrived on day expected. What's more both items were packed very carefully so as not to damage them during transit using plenty of thick layers of tightly wrapped padding materials.

The chest is identical in design to its predecessor that once stood in our bedroom, however where that unit had a dark wood effect finish the new one has a beautiful, smooth gloss white exterior. It is double the size of my old chest and also much deeper meaning it holds more items inside which is very useful for us as we have plenty of clothes to store away.

This was all well and good until I realised that the unit doesn't support fixing to the wall - Not great news when you have a child throwing things around! The fixings supplied with this unit are designed to be used in conjunction with bookcases or smaller units in order to create a secure storage area in your room rather than just a tv stand or something similar. This meant that in order to reduce movement from small hands I had to place it against a wall where the weight of its contents would

The process was simple and the company is well-known for their outstanding customer service.
