On 13th October 2012 I ordered two fitted bedroom installations from Starplan at the Middlebrook store. The initial fitting date of 17th December 2012 was delayed until 14th February 2013. I paid a total of £6908 in advance. On 14th February the chief installer, on leaving at almost 7.00 p.m., informed me that the push closes in the main bedroom had not been fitted. He gave me a choice of three reasons: he hadn’t been supplied with them and it would be two weeks before he could get... (read more)

Fabulous design ideas by our Design Manager and excellent advice, with nothing too much trouble! On fitting day, the fitters arrived on time and did a fantastic job. They... (read more)

Well, At least they did mention to you about removing the skirting boards, they forgot to tell us and as a result we have bedroom furniture that is supposed to be fitted but as a 1/2 in gap from the wall, their answer to rectify this was to stick a big piece of wood on the end to hide the gap which looks awful and cheapens the look of the whole room. We also ended up with different handles on the dressing table & wardrobes and have been waiting since April to get ones that match ( they did send us some that they found in store but most of them were scratched so asked for replacements) now January 2013 & still waiting. Should have realised you get what you pay for, on the surface their bedrooms look lovely but if you look at the finished article they REALLY ARE NOT !!!

We had 2 bedrooms planned and designed by starplan bolton. After placing the order the whole experience has been stressful, upsetting and time consuming. I dont want to bore you by listing the whole situation but what definately I will say is that this is one of the biggest regrets I have ever had and definately the most costly. With all that said I cant even say that I am happy with the quality or finish. What a mistake it keeps me awake at night when I think how much I have paid for this cheap and nasty tat. If you are looking for bedroom furniture and you want quality and value for money then DO NOT ORDER FROM STARPLAN.
