After assembling the propagator, I came down the next morning to find it had collapsed. I have since replaced the suction pads with plastic bolts, but now I have great difficulty in removing the lid. I would much prefer a system where the lights were attached to the lid, so that they could be easily removed in one piece.

I had to file down one end of each slat (12 in total) in order to be able to fit the slats in the staging to form the lower shelf

Considering the cost, i would say this item is significantly over priced. Assembly took approximately 5 hours. This has no reflection on my DIY ability but the 100's of screws involved. The finished article looks good and works well. I would seriously request your designers to look at sub-assembly at the factory prior to shipment

Late on delivery and had to chase order, then the goods arrived over 5 days and 3 different deliveries two being the same vehicle and driver despite being asked that there was a package short at the first drop off. Then there was an item missing from the assembly, when notified Harrod customer service said "would despatch immediately" I stupidly assumed would get missing parts the next day, sadly that took another 5 days to arrive.

STILL WAITING. Notified of a long delay shortly after placing my order. I was informed that the there has been a further delay on top of this. So I can't really comment on the quality of the goods received as I am still waiting to receive it. Gardening is seasonal, so if you can't get the items you order in a timely manner, they might not be much use to you, at least till the following year.

The product is good, but the communication and prolonged delivery was not. I had to constantly chase where it was and they kept changing the delivery or didn’t communicate at all.

On delivery several nuts and bolts were found to be missing. These were however sent out quickly once the error was pointed out. On erecting the fruit cage some of the joints did not fit together tight enough and tended to come apart easily. In addition the netting sent for the roof was clearly the wrong one. What was needed was a rectangular one and was was included was an elongated diamond shaped one. With a great deal of effort it was however possible to make this one fit. Given the high price of this particular fruit cage I was less than impressed

Thank you for your order and review. We are very sorry to hear of the problems which you encountered with your cage and understand that a member of our Customer Service team has now dealt with your enquiry. We can confirm that the roof netting which is supplied with our cages is a diamond mesh bird netting and has to be stretched out at opposite corners to achieve the correct shape. We hope this explanation is of help to you and thank you again for your order.

I bought a container to use in conjunction with Nemaslug but have found great difficulty in attaching a garden hose to the device. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

The fruit/veg cage was stated as keeping butterflies out and it doesn't. I've had 5 cabbage whites inside the cage and I can see them getting in and out through the netting. I am very disappointed.

Thank you for your order and review. We understand that a member of our Customer Services Team has contacted you to explain that the Fruit Cage which you ordered is supplied with bird netting and this does not prevent butterflies from entering the cage, only birds. However, if you wish to protect your brassicas, we do also supply butterfly netting if required. We hope this explanation is of help to you.

I ordered 2 x packs of parsnip plants (20 per pack) and they only sent 1x pack, emailed/contacted them and eventually after a week they got back to me and apologised and sent another pack out, had them planted in the ground now for a few weeks and the second batch that they sent does not seem to be growing very well, will wait another week to see how they go but they look like they won't survive, very disappointed and will go else where next year

After having ordered and paid, and even had a phone call to confirm card details and address, was told item was out of stock! Then had another call but no message left. Attempted to find out what the call was about but no response to emails. My husband eventually spoke to a lady but did not have confidence in her so cancelled the order. Went direct to the manufacturer and item arrived in a couple of days with no problems. Disappointing.

I had to return the fruit cage I had purchased, as I had measured incorrectly. I was charged £30 for 're spray' as I was told that the item was scratched and needed to be re sprayed before re sale. The item was couriered by Harrod Horticultural arranged couriers both ways, so if damage occurred then, it was on their watch. If the damage occurred as I very carefully unpacked the item on a lawn, it is not fit for purpose if such treatment will so easily scratch it. It would have been good to have been sent photographic evidence of the damage, as I only had HH word for it that such damage had occurred.

Thank you for your recent review. We understand that you had placed an order for an Aluminium Vegetable Cage however this was too big for your needs so you needed to return this to us for a refund. On arrangement of collections we do advise that orders have to be returned in a perfect re-sellable condition in their original packaging. We also state this on our returns policy on our website. Regrettably, as this order left us and was delivered in perfect condition, the damages on return were chargeable. We hope this explanation is of help and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

EXplanation of set-up and use inadequate -- small diagrams which were vague. I could not manage to make the watering device last much more than a day, however I juggled the copper sliders.

Order took a long time to arrive with no updates until I contacted them. When plants arrived they were rather worse for wear. Parsley plants, yellow, weak and rather small. I have followed instructions but do not expect them to survive the next couple of weeks. Did not match pictures. I would rather have waited for a healthy plant but would have probably gone with another company had I been told of the wait expected.
