Beautiful and high quality furniture!

Excellent delivery and customer services, even during difficult times like Covid 19.

Recently purchased a Nordic Style candle holder, which I had admired at a recent stay at a holiday home in Norfolk.  Product arrived very quickly. Contact via email from Jonathan. Excellent customer service and a gorgeous product too.

Thank you Jonathan and all at Olson and Baker.

It has been an absolute pleasure buying a lovely piece of furniture from Olsen + Baker. Russell has been a delight to deal with, keeping me informed at every step of the delivery, even down to which colour would fit with my decor - nothing was too much.

I can’t recommend highly enough.

Really excellent customer service. Can not recommend this company highly enough - the products are high quality and their communication with the customer is first class. Jonathon always responded promptly to any queries and was very helpful.

I would definitely buy from them again.

Fantastic customer service throughout the ordering process.

Olson + Baker were wonderful to deal with.

We purchased our item (a beautiful coat hook) but had to delay delivery due to a trip overseas.

We weren't dealing with an automated system, just real people who cared enough to help.

The service is superb and the website is so intuitive! 10 out of 10! :D Lee

He is an absolute star and has gone out of his way to provide superb service.

Great range of products.

Purchased a beautiful rug from here and had a smooth overall buying experience.

Lovely website, great communication, fast delivery and they came in at a price other shops couldn't compete with on the chair I was after.

Excellent product but more importantly during these difficult times was the customer service level and great delivery team ....
