Product: Vantage 250 Traditional Summerhouse

We are very pleased with the purchase of our Summerhouse. The delivery of the product, and the staff and workmen that we met were excellant.. With regards to the windows and doors, however, we were disappointed that the internal sides were not fitted with an internal top insert to compliment the ones on the exterior. It makes the windows look unfinished, as you are looking at bare wood, from the rear of the exterior insert.

Product: FrontierFort Max Double Swing with Monkey Bars

A great climbing frame for the kids however its a pain to put together. A lot of holes needed to be drilled, which could easily be done as part of the manufacturing process. Also certain sections could also have come pre assembled, like the climbing wall for example. Dunster i would suggest you follow your own instructions and then amend the ones you send out. For example it would be good to dig the holes for the ground supports before you put the climbing wall onto the tower, this would be easier than trying to work underneath it. The little seats inside the bottom of the tower on the instructions it showed them above the wood but in reality they would never fit this way. The ladder rungs, maybe tell people to put them at a slight angle so when you attach the ladder the rungs are straight. There lots of little bits that with better instructions would have saved time putting this up. Lastly the 50mm screws 2 packets different size 50mm screws at no point does it say what ones to use where. Its a good product but i would recommend Dunster take a look at their instructions and and what other advantages they could do to help the customer out, after all these products aren't cheap. Dunster call me if you want i'd be happy to discuss.

Product: Rhine Log Cabin

It is a lovely product. The wood was bowed so it hasn't fitted together as well as it should have, so I will need to have it shyster . The instructions are very confusing, however the online videos were easy to follow.

Product: Severn Log Cabin

The delivery men from Dunsterhouse were amazing took best part of 2 hours, they sorted into correct sections. The Build quality is superb, instructions could be a bit clearer but assembly took about 1.5 days including the shingles was hard work but the results made this well worth the effort. Everyone who has seen it loves it, a beautiful place to be. Thank you Dunster House

Product: Rhine Log Cabin

Grade A Quality - Fantastic value for money - its a lot bigger inside than it looks in the photos plus no need for sound proofing as the 4.5cm walls keep most of the sound in i.e for playing music etc - overall very happy thanks

Product: SquirrelFort Climbing Tower

We purchased the climbing frame for our 2 year old son. The product is ok, however their were a number of issues: 1. Customer Services - Dunster prides itself on a family run business with traditional values. However, when it comes to customer services instead of being able to pick up the phone to speak to someone you can ONLY email. Their argument or casing point is that they want to ensure communicate is clear. However, my experience of their 'customer services' was poor. Would email and then would not get a response so would have to call Sales and CC them in for them to chase. If you are going to insist on Dunster House customers services only being available via email then you need to put in better processes - for example as soon as an email is sent by a customer they should get a confirmation email, reference number and confirmation when they can expect a response. 2. The product instruction are poor and some elements are just plain wrong. In addition screws are supplied in the correct quantities and had to use other screws which were fine but not what was specified 3. Quality is ok, but certainly not as good as promo videos - pre drilled holes were off measurement Would i use again? If I'm honest, not sure. The whole experience has but me off and would definitely be cautious if i was going to purchase one of their more experience products.

Product: BalconyFort Max Monkey Bars Double Swing

We are pleased with our purchase but we were told it would take only half a day to erect with two men. It took a lot longer than that. The quality is good aside one of the rungs had split wood in it already which was sharp and now has left a piece missing in that rung due to a knot in the wood. This is a shame as it spoils the look and we were told that the quality was the best.

Product: Utopia 430 Gazebo

Really pleased with the finished artical, it's a great addition to the garden and really has the "wow" factor. I'm yet to get the furniture for it but that's next on the list. I've added a slideshow of it being made in stages which I hope you're able to view. Thanks
