I have been very happy with Pooky. I now have - I think 11 - of their lamps. A gorgeous chandelier in my front room, and four wall lights; and my two small bathrooms each have a Goliath wall lamp (which no longer appears on their web site, as far as I can tell); and two Round Roddy ceiling lamps. The light bulbs have been of inferior quality, I think. I use LightWave switches; and the bulbs that came with the chandelier in the front room seemed to trip out the switch when turned up to full brightness. This resolved when I replaced the bulbs sent by Pooky with a quality brand from my local electrical supplier. And the Round Roddy lamps are disappointing. They look gorgeous; but they are disappointingly dim. Not only that, but each lamp has 3 bulbs, and two of the four lamps I was sent had only two functioning bulbs.

Thank you so much for getting in touch with your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you have had some issues with your bulbs, and can see that some replacements are already on their way to you. The details of the brightness of the fitting is shown on the product page, so that customers can check if the light would suit their needs. Hopefully these new bulbs will solve this issue for you, and get your lights looking wonderful! Best Wishes, Emmy

Bought two small candle lampshade which look nice. Slightly worried about the quality as I bought a few lampshades soon after Pooky first started but the metal base spoke part has broken on two. It’s also annoying they don’t actually sell in the shop and you can’t return there. Think it’s a bit more design over substance.

More a marketing company than a lighting company. Our electrician thought a bag of potatoes would be more informative than Pooky's help line.

The product is fabulous and we love it , all went well once we ordered Unfortunately, we have been trying for several months to get two of the lamp and having spoken to you , you told us that we would be called once they were in stock. That didn’t happen and we only found out by chance and when we phoned , we were told all sold except one. Which we ordered. Disappointing , and we hope we have better luck when you next get them in , and hopefully advise us. Chas McShane

Thank you for your feedback, and I am sorry to hear that you haven't received your items. I have had a look into this and can see that your order is out for delivery today, and should be delivered within the next few hours. Unfortunately we are unable select a time slot for our deliveries, and DPD try to provide an estimate of when they will be delivering the items however this can be subject to delays. Our 1 - 3 working day standard delivery was chosen for this order, and the items are due to be delivered within this time frame. Please do contact the team at hello@pooky.com if you have any further issues with the delivery. Best Wishes, Emmy

The light is beautiful - absolutely love it aesthetically. However, the casing isn't suitable for wiring a standard ceiling rose as there is nowhere to put the earth wires for either the loop, switch or bulb. I had to use the plastic casing from the previous light and improvise which isn't ideal.

Delivery a shambles. Given a 1 hour slot by courier only to be told as that hour passed by 1 minute that delivery would not be happening that day. Alternative offered not suitable so had to phone Pooky to arrange another later date. Finally delivered 4 days late and 2 wasted mornings. Previously service always good.

The recommend a friend element is really clunky and doesn't seem to work - your web team are aware of this but it's still on site. It's a poor experience that doesn't match your great products, so if it's not working, take it down! Thanks Pooky :)

I used to love Pooky and have bought probably a good 90 percent of my gorgeous lamps from there since 2021. But sadly I have to say that my last three purchases have been decidedly below par and the customer service has been diffident, to say the least. Two lights were damaged on receipt and one was just not a great design. I hope Pooky does not become a victim of its own success and the quality control does not slip too much. I'm going to take a break from buying here for a while - even though I have loads more spaces for lamps.

The products are great, the website is great, but the in-person service in store is casual and entitled. I found the staff somewhat disdainful and unhelpful. It's a shame, because everything else is great.

There have been one or two hiccups with delivery and lack of clarity on the instruction sheet for returns. I also miss the form where exchanges are made automatically when returning a lampshade. However I love your beautiful lampshades.

Great designs, good fabrics, but the quality of the digital print could be better. I understand it's more economical if you're making them to order but better quality digital print is available, or litho if you're making them in sufficient quantities.

I received a "repaired not new" screen (has a patch) and I believe I purchased a new, not used or refurbished item. The good thing is that they are responding quickly and I hope they solve the problem soon.

Unable to write a review of the pendant light in situ, due to stock availability by the time the pendant came back on to the website the wall lights were out of stock. The light is still in its box waiting.

The light is beautiful - the only trouble was the huge amount of polystyrene packaging which is awful to handle, for the environment and to dispose of. It was a shame as it made me think differently about the product and the company itself.

Thank you for leaving your feedback regarding packaging, and we are sorry to hear that this was difficult for you. As we ship items made from glass and ceramic via a courier, we try to ensure that we use the right amount of packaging so that items don't get damaged in transit. We do understand that this can be concerning, and we try to make sure that enough packaging is used to protect the items without being wasteful. We will be sure to take this feedback on board, and continue evaluating our packaging options. Best Wishes, Emmy
