Summer furniture woe
I placed an order with Gamm Vert for six garden chairs and a table with a lazy Susan in June. I received the chairs in June.
The table came in early July, but the fixings to the base were missing, as was the lazy Susan. After many emails and expensive calls, I still do not have the missing items. Every communication I have had states they will be with me shortly.
More than 15 weeks later, I still do not have them and summer is over. Never again will I make this mistake!
