“Very happy with the lights and also the service. They were well packed and delivery was prompt. I can't send a photo yet as they aren't installed.”

“Excellent customer service but found it difficult to choose colours as there wasn't photos of colours only drawings. Chose cream,light grey primrose yellow and sage green (which looked a very pale green). When arrived it looked like a dark turqouise. Didn't bother trying to exchange as this was the only pale green available :-(”

Dear Anon, Thank you so much for your post and feedback - I am sorry you did not feel the colours matched the online pictures, which are photos of the product but can slightly vary. I very much hope you can enjoy your light set and get used to the colours too. Yours sincerely, Kate

“I really love my daughters lights, I did at first think they were more complex than they actually are to fit. My fault for not reading perfectly clear instructions. My daughter loves them. Thank you”

“Our second set, that we bought on an offer weekend. The discount covers the cost of a plug and postage. Lovely set of lights. A bit fiddly to fit but once you do the first couple it’s a doddle”

“Hi The product itself is lovely. I’m terms of feedback: 1. We paid for priority shipping, when the item hadn’t arrived in time, we chased up to find out that our order hadn’t been processed yet. It was sent the next day and I am told the additional postage would be refunded (haven’t checked but assume this happened). Given that we ordered express shipping for a reason I don’t really feel that refunding the extra postage costs is adequate compensation for the delay, it only makes up for the postage costs and not the disappointment of a late item which meant we couldn’t finish a project in time. Perhaps consider changing procedures to ensure priority orders aren’t missed. 2. The website is not clear within the main product information that the lights are partly self assembly. We found them quite tricky to put together and had to cut every ball to get the lights to fit. We hadn’t realised this at all from the website when ordering. The lights are lovely though now they are here and up. And the lady who dealt with our delayed order was very helpful and polite - so top marks for her customer service.”

Dear Zoe, Thank you so much for taking the time to post your detailed review. I apologise again for the delay (which was due to a very busy Bank Holiday weekend in terms of orders). I understand that this is particularly disappointing when you are completing a project of this sort. Your method of payment was refunded immediately for the express p&p, which is usual procedure, and I very much hope that the order arrived the next day as requested. I do apologise if this was not the case. Regarding the self-assembly aspect of the product; because we offer a customised colour choice the balls are left unattached to the cable, so that customers can attach them in their own sequence of colours. It is most unusual to have to cut every single ball to attach them to the lights, although sometimes a particular colour may not have been split as far as another - this is due to the hand-made nature of the product. It is usually resolvable - by slightly enlarging the existing split with a sharp pair of scissors, but I do understand it is not ideal. I am so sorry for the experience you have had with our product. I do very much hope that your lights look lovely now they are up and that you can now enjoy them. Yours sincerely, Kate

“The lights I ordered are good. The communication was a bit slow (I do have super high expectations from customer services), however Kate sorted it all out. I’d buy again.”
