This furniture is made in China. First piece arrived damaged and had marks on. Replacement arranged and delivered. Very clear there are quality control issues with this furniture. Replacement piece in worse condition. If you can ignore the marks and any damage the furniture itself looks lovely however, it is not well made and is very flimsy so don't expect to be able to store much in it. I had great difficulty in arranging returns. Many days/hours wasted. Overall very poor customer service. I had doubts ordering from this site but due to the many good reviews went ahead. Not a good decision on my part.

The Nine Schools make oriental style furniture that is hand made in China, this is what we have been doing since 1995, it is made very clear through out the site and something we are proud of. When the customer received the damaged sideboard she was offered a full refund however wanted to keep the item. We offered her 4 dates over a period of 3 weeks to pick up returned item but she could not accept these, we even made a detour to collect on a Saturday as requested but customer was not in the house, so we arranged courier to suit and item was collected.

Love the look and design but it's not made to the best quality. Marks when I opened the chest cupboards. Draws are not not the best either.

Simply love my oyster grey sideboard and can't wait to order something else! Patrick has been so helpful from start to finish, sending a colour sample etc.

I have bought two ginger jars from nine schools and they are lovely. Plus strong secure packaging and really quick delivery.

Absolutely delighted with both Ginger jars, the large blue one has an amazing colour and looks amazing in the sunshine. Both jars are of great quality and having bought in the Returns sale I am very pleased and impressed. Look great on the anime Schools Chinese cabinet. Thank you.

We’ve just received our two Double Happiness vases, which we bought as wedding gifts. Their arrival was delayed by several days, but it seems the courier was to blame for that rather than Nine Schools. Regardless, they arrived in time for the weddings, they’re in perfect condition, and they look beautiful, so we’re happy.

I am so disappointed in my cabinet. This was my second purchase, I had previously bought a small cabinet which was absolutely perfect, but this one has so many faults (which NS gave me a discount) but now 6 months later the cabinet is showing more faults, which I am not sure about, ie there are lumps and bumps appearing and cracks which is very upsetting. I am so sorry for having to review in such a negative way considering I have praised your company since my first purchase but your furniture is now not the same standard. I am absolutely gutted as I had been considering added to your collection but not now unfortunately.

Hi, When the product was delivered to you we offered you an immediate replacement or a full refund - you asked for a discount to kept the product. We agreed to your request.

Excellent customer service but we've found that the furniture although nice and shiny on the outside has shockingly poor interior - pretty much all the drawers and inside shelves in sideboards are unusable - wood is not even sanded down, doesn't fit and is not covered in paint or any kind of finish.

The cabinet looks nice but very light quality. I was disappointed to receive after waiting a long time. Very pricy for what it is. The price I paid for expecting much better quality item.

I have purchased and been very pleased with items in the past but a recent buy was awfully disappointing. The packing was badly rain soaked and the contents damaged. Nine schools were very cooperative after viewing the photographs and I await a full refund.

My Ginger jar is beautiful and I was very blown away with the quality of craftsmanship when I opened the package. Will definitely be buying more to add to my kitchen display.

I very much like the concept of bringing interesting pieces from China but a shame that despite adding a hefty markup for importation there is evidently no quality inspection between goods being packed in China and arriving on my doorstep. I ordered a lacquered cabinet which has several spots of missing lacquer (small chips) and very poor quality finishing in a few places. At first glance the piece looks ok but on closer inspection this is clearly cheap and low quality furniture. You get what you pay for I suppose.
