"Have donated furniture before to BHF Furniture, Walthamstow, no problem. Tried to donate a large 6/8 place wooden kitchen table in need of a little TLC but still worth £70/£80/£100, it would sell. People would accept that for a reduced price. REFUSED AT THE DOOR firstly by the driver and then by the manager of the shop. Disgusted. BHF Furniture are VERY "selective"/"picky" in the donations they accept these days. Very disappointed."

"Great service! You can find all sort of furnitures that suit all tastes, from modern to vintage, from expensive to cheap ones. Sonny helped us finding the perfect items as well as keeping us smiley! Delivery service was impeccable and the drivers were very kind and helped us moving the furniture around. Highly recommended!"

"Terrible service. I tried to donate a bed with mattress. It was arranged to be donated the day before my flat sale went through. The mattress was foam with a zip-on cover. The cover had some minor stains, that would almost certainly come out in the wash, but I couldn't wash it because it would destroy the fire label and I knew they wouldn't take it without seeing the label intact. When they rang me up to arrange the collection time I explained this to the woman on the phone and she said 'Don't worry, if you explain that to the collection team they'll definitely collect it.' If she hadn't said that then I would have found another way to pass the furniture on, eg freecycling it, as I did with some of my other furniture that I knew they wouldn't want. When the team came around to collect it this morning, they refused to take it because of the stains. They dismissed what the woman on the phone said because 'She's a volunteer and not authorised to make that decision.' They also agreed with me that washing it would have cleared the stains while destroying the fire label, but said 'We don't wash things.' All they could do was promise they'd report back to the branch and get someone to ring me that day. I emailed the store to reinforce the need to ring me, and tried ringing/left a voicemail as soon as the office opened. But no call back, in spite of what was promised. The end result is I was left with a large object in my flat that I had to get rid of immediately with no easy way to do so, during a week day."
