They had a huge sale and I bought chairs. Could never deliver. Don’t trust these people

Dear Eric,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear that your chairs were not delivered and that your experience has left you feeling this way. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.
We would very much like the opportunity to investigate what happened with your order and understand why it could not be fulfilled. However, as your review does not include any order details, we are unfortunately unable to locate your purchase.
Please contact our customer service team with your order number and the email address used to place your order. Once we have those details, we will review your case thoroughly, explain what occurred, and work with you to find an appropriate resolution.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to assist you further.
Very misleading photos and description. The items are compressed foam, materials differ to described and the colour is extremely different to the photographs

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear that the product did not meet your expectations and that you found the photos, description, materials, and color to be different from what you expected.
Many of our foam furniture products are vacuum-packed for transportation and are designed to expand to their intended shape after unpacking. However, we understand that this does not address your concerns regarding the product’s appearance, materials, and color.
We would very much like the opportunity to investigate your case and review the product you received against the listing on our website. However, as your review does not include any order details, we are unfortunately unable to locate your purchase.

Rarely have I received such clear and positive messaging from a company rep as I have experienced with Joe. His texts are succinct, friendly, and professional. I appreciate his correspondence.
I was extremely impressed with Sam’s kindness, professionalism, and product knowledge. He was always well-prepared, answered every question thoroughly, and provided accurate, detailed information throughout the entire process.
His exceptional customer service gave me confidence and trust, and it had a significant impact on my decision to make the purchase.
Thank you, Sam, for your outstanding service and professional support. It was truly appreciated.
Absolutely shocking!!! great looking sofa shown online. £780 on sale for £384. Othere colours still on at full price. You would call this premium, right?
Delivered, quickly I admit, in boxes, vacuum packed!!. There is no structure to this sofa. Its just foam. Cheap Chinese 'tat' At no point in the online narrative / imagery was this even hinted at. Appalling.
They are telling me now that i have to pay the delivery costs plus return courier costs. Cannot speak to anyone. Phone line just cuts out.
Misleading!!! Misleading product description and imagery, misleading telephone number, misleading responses to email (AI generated). Recommend you give these a wide berth

Dear Donna,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry that the sofas did not meet your expectations when they arrived and that the vacuum-packed presentation and structure were not what you felt had been made clear from the product information online. We also understand that, after ordering on 25 June and receiving delivery on 30 June, the return process became more difficult than it should have been, particularly when you were waiting for clear return instructions and were unable to get through by phone.
After you contacted us to say the items were not as described, our team initially offered a goodwill refund if you chose to keep the furniture, and this was later increased. You made clear that you wished to return the full order instead and formally exercised your cancellation rights. We apologise that our responses around the return process and costs did not resolve the matter for you at that point, and that the communication left you feeling you had to keep chasing.
We can see that on 15 July a full refund was processed back to your original payment method, including the order value for the sofas, ottoman and warranty. We advised at the time that this may take 5 to 10 business days to appear depending on the payment provider. We are genuinely sorry this order did not work out as you had hoped, and we appreciate the opportunity to put the matter right with a full refund.
I placed my order and shortly after that I heard from a representative, named Joe, who shared that he was my contact person in case I have any questions about my order. My sheepskin chair and ottoman will take about 6-8 weeks to arrive - it is nice to have Joe's contact information available while I wait. Nice touch Thorvald Design, and thanks Joe!
You did exactly as I requested! I made a mistake and ordered the wrong wood on the chairs, sent a frantic note and you cancelled the order right away. Great customer service.
Thew chair they sent was dented and chipped and even after four emails, they sis not respond. Their phone number goes on-hold forever and no one picks up either. I will not buy another item from this site.
Update 8/5/26: Was contacted by Thorvald later after review was posted and they attended to the issue towards resolusion.

Dear Al,
We are very sorry that your chair arrived dented and chipped, and that your emails and calls went unanswered. We understand how disappointing it was to receive a damaged item and then be unable to reach us for assistance.
After you forwarded your original email and provided photographs of the damage, we reviewed the matter on 29 July and offered a 50% refund, which you kindly accepted. The refund was processed on 30 July, with an advised timeframe of five to seven business days for it to appear.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to resolve this and for confirming that you were satisfied with the outcome. We appreciate your patience and hope we may have the chance to restore your confidence in Thorvald Design.
I wanted to confirm that the item was in stock before placing the order. Felix responded quickly and confirmed that item would ship immediately. With that information I proceeded to place the order. Felix is assisting in expediting the order as time is of the essence. Thank you.
I reached out to customer service on July 4th morning and Echo was quick to respond and resolve my request as I wanted to make some changes before the sale ended. I have not received my furniture yet but the purchase process and customer service has been great.
Sofa arrived with no legs or screws. Had to wait 48 hours for response as no one picked up when I called the customer service line. Then was told to submit a request to the aftercare team. The website kept sending me in a loop and had to wait to get a response on why. Still waiting for their aftercare team to contact me. Would never order anything from them again.

Dear Hayley,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry that your Morgana sofa arrived in a way that made it appear the legs and assembly bolts were missing, especially after you had contacted us before delivery to check what assembly would be required.
We also appreciate that the route to getting help was not as straightforward as it should have been. After your delivery on 29 June, you were asked to raise an Aftercare claim online, but the portal issues meant you had to keep coming back to Customer Service and then send the required photos and video by email instead. A claim was then created manually for you, and we understand how disappointing it was to wait several days without the clear update you needed.
On 2 July, our Aftercare team asked you to check the zipped compartment underneath one of the sofa armrests, as the legs and fittings are normally stored there for transit. We were pleased to see that you confirmed the same day that all of the parts had been found there and that the issue was resolved.
We are sorry for the delay and the difficulty you had getting to that point. Your experience should have been clearer and easier from the start, and we do understand why this affected your confidence in ordering from us again. Thank you for confirming the parts were located, and we hope you are now able to enjoy your new sofa.
Though my order is being delayed, the company and Joe have been quick to communicate in and even processed a discount in view of the delivery delay. I do appreciate the personal attention they have given!
