I am a Harveys Furniture Tester, & Have a Confession To Make…

First of all..
What is a Harvey Furniture Tester?
The lovelies from Harveys have sent a few lucky bloggers some furniture to test out and review.

Secondly I was lucky enough to be sent a gorgeous coffee table and lamp table.

Thirdly (the confession) I don’t like coffee tables!! I’ve never had one before but expect they are a just a dumping ground for stuff. Aren’t they? Well I thought so but it turns out I was wrong.

I was sent the gorgeous Alexis Coffee table and Alexis Lamp Table (Click to visit the Harveys site and see the specs and more product details). Now being coffee table virgins we have had to experiment to find the “right” use for it.

The “Grown Up” Coffee table
The “Work” table
The Coffee table for children

So which one did we decide was the “best look”? We didn’t – we decided a coffee table like this should be used for whatever we needed it for. I must also add though:

It looks just fine all by itself!

I must stress that I didn’t actually know what would be arriving until it arrived (oh the excitement!! Ahem) so to get two pieces like this, that fit my lounge so well was a huge bonus. Just look how the Alexis lamp table fits here…

Isn’t it gorgeous, and a perfect “cover” for the stepper machine I will be using “soon” to tone up these here legs 🙂

Delivery: I was called on the Monday to tell me my order would arrive on Thursday and that I would be called on Wednesday to get a time slot. Well I didn’t get a call on Wednesday but that’s ok. These things happen, and it’s how they are dealt with by a company that makes the difference. I called customer services on Thursday who apologised profusely, told me my slot was 2-5pm and when I explained I had a school run in the middle of that, they contacted the driver and ensured it would be with me either side of the school pick-up. The driver himself rang to confirm this. THAT is what I call good service!

Three burly uniformed delivery men (who were clearly camera shy as they scuttled off before I could get the camera out lol) delivered the pieces, put them where I wanted them to go & offered to unpack. I declined as I had the school run to do but wish I hadn’t as the pieces were SO well wrapped, it took 20 minutes to unwrap them!

Extremely well wrapped but no excess/wasteful plastic or boxes. Impressive.

So far so good Harveys, great products, great service.
My husband isn’t overly keen on you now because having these gorgeous pieces in my lounge has made me realise the whole lounge needs reorganising and modernising – you’ll be hearing more about this soon.
For now though….
Big thumbs up Harveys!
