Slightly dodgy but the table itself is alright 27 April 2026

I ordered a small side table because it fit the cheap‑and‑cheerful vibe I wanted next to the sofa. When it arrived the finish was fine, the wood-ish top felt solid under a cup of tea and it wasn’t a wobbley nightmare — honestly, for the price it did the job. It’s not museum quality, you can tell it’s mass-made, there’s a tiny nick on the underside and one leg needs a gentle nudge now and then, but I was prepared for that. The real drama came with trying to send it back.
I emailed before the thing shipped, saying I might return it, and then radio silence. I chased them several times, from my regular email and through their website, and every reply made me think I was in a sketchy comedy: “Why do you want to return it?” then “Can you send a picture of your previous email?” — as if my inbox was staging a coup. Eventually I got an address but the phone number they gave either goes nowhere or leads to someone who says “Homrest? No idea.” There’s also a 15% restocking fee they quoted later — something I couldn’t find on the site when I bought it. So that left me feeling like I’d been nicked for time and hassle.
I ended up disputing the charge with my bank and got the money back, which was a relief, but what a faff. If you’re tempted to buy from them: the actual product is usable and kinda pleasant for a budget purchase, but don’t expect the returns process to be straightforward. My advice — if you can, try to inspect or buy from a seller with clearer return terms, and keep screenshots of every email. Small wins: the table does its job, looks decent on a coffee morning, but the aftercare is where they fall flat.
