I purchased several Habufa Eefje bar stools and chairs from Against the Grain Furniture. The company has been a pleasure to deal with providing excellent service and communication throughout. Everyone that I dealt with, Marcus, Andy, and the delivery team Molly and Tom were extremely helpful and wonderful to deal with. The lead time on the products was excellent and despite me change the colour of my chairs and stools they responded, made the change, and still got the products to me in good time. The Habufa products are also fantastic and very well made. I highly recommend this company to anyone

I dont normally write reviews however I feel I need to regarding a review on here. A lady has posted a very unfair comment which In my experience I have not found. There has been issues with delays in furniture arriving however I have always found Marcus and his staff very polite. Yes Marcus does speak very good English. On no occasion have I felt that he has spoken down to me. We have all faced a hard year and this is an independent family run business which they would have worked hard to build. I am not a family member take from this as you will. I just felt this is a very unfair review and

I'd like to give a wholly positive review for this company and hope it helps others. I have to say I was a little nervous before approaching ATG as I do look at review sites. I did find an older vitriolic negative review of this company before I decided to engage. That reviewer made numerous accusations which were quite serious. My judgement, however, was this guy's position was unreasonable (he decided not to await official transport, collected himself and then complained the item was damaged when he got it home and assembled). From my experience, I have nothing but praise. For what it's worth
