Verified reviewArrived damaged. Thin plywood easel.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your goods arrived damaged. I can assure you they left us in good condition but there's the odd driver out there who treat parcels with little or no respect. I understand our customer service team have been in touch with you and we've provided you with a refund for the damaged product and you've decided to switch it out for a smaller workstation. This is a hugely popular easel and we get rave reviews about it. I can assure you it's a very good quality product but if treated with disrespect (like the odd driver) they will unfortunately break. If we can help further, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Guy.

Verified reviewIt took a week to be processed before it was shipped???
Reply from Cowlingandwilcox.com
Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your order took so long to be despatched. Despatch times are something we work very hard to keep within 24-48 hours so it's awful when we let our customers down. Recently, we had a perfect storm of understaffing and tech issues which led to a short period where we were way behind with our shipping targets. We sent out an email directly to all customers affected and I hope you received our email. You'll be pleased to hear we recovered from our issues quite quickly and we're now back to sending out within 24 hours again. Once again, I wholeheartedly apologise that your order got caught us in this unusually challenging time for us. Kind regards, Guy.
