Thank you for the table. It seems very well made and so nice for a change to have something constructed in England, especially in my ancestral county of Lincolnshire! Your customer service had been excellent- keeping me informed and sending me delivery details. I wish you every success in your business.

Just to say how delighted I am with the rustic arch. It has far exceeded my expectations and have recommended your company to other family members. Thank you Claire, the delivery driver for his assistance and everyone at Tony Ward Garden Furniture. a super service.

JILL

Excellent customer service from start to finish, emailed questions answered within a few hours. Delivery promptly, I wasn't home when my bridge arrived, but instead of just leaving it on my driveway, delivery man carried around my house and left it adjacent to my pond. Quality of bridge is excellent. Thoroughly recommend this company.

Richard, Bristol

Just received a 5 foot europa bridge which was a lot earlier than I originally expected. The delivery man was very polite and helped me offload the item in my rear garden. The bridge has now been sited and looks amazing. Excellent quality and certainly value for money. Highly recommend and would certainly use again should the occasion arise.
