Whilst the main parasol box was delivered quickly there was no indication that the base hadn’t been delivered. This wasn’t delivered until days later. No idea whether it was a delivery company error or some delay from Living and Home. Either way we were not kept informed and we were not able to put the parasol together until the height of the heatwave. The assembly instructions are terrible. Quite a lot of guessing involved. Then noticed that in less than a week from ordering from Living and Home they had dropped the price again nearly a £100. Our order had been a sale price. Quite annoying given what we’d been through.
