Not the best pirchase I have made. Long delivery if as stated in uk. Badly packaged, lights work when they feel like it. Sometimes to turn them off have to take bulb off. Pricey.

I received substandard sconces which were supposed to be adhesive. The fixture was very poorly made and the adhesive was not strong enough to support the fitting. Customer service shocking and expectation of me to return to china by post which would cost me more than I paid and then no guarantee of a refund. Very disappointed.

Dear Adrianni,
Thank you for your feedback — we're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience.
When you reached out to us, we reviewed the photos you shared and identified that the adhesive had not been applied correctly during installation, which explains why it wasn't holding securely. This was not a manufacturing defect, but we understand it was frustrating nonetheless.
We offered to send you a complimentary set of heavy-duty adhesive pads to resolve the issue at no cost to you, as well as a return in line with our standard terms and conditions — both of which were declined.
We always do our best to find a fair and practical solution for our customers, and that offer remains open should you change your mind.
Warm regards,
Sarah — Ambience Design
Poor Quality Wall Sconces
I purchased a set of Wall Sconces (#3134) and within days the sconces had fallen off my bedroom walls as the 3m sticky tape provided was weak.
I then screwed the wall sconces onto my wall and then within a few weeks the lamps shades had separated and become completely detached from the top of sconce.
I reached out to the company as they stated there is a 1 year warranty and this was a manufacturing issue and they did nothing about replacing the products and instead offered a discount code.
I was then requested to remove my review by the company in return for a full refund almost 3 months ago to which I agreed. I still haven’t received any refund and they requested the review be removed first which I agreed to. After constantly chasing updates on a refund, I have now given up on receiving my money back.
I wouldn't recommend Ambience UK unfortunately.

Dear Adnan,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you were disappointed, and we'd like to provide some important context for anyone reading this review.
Our records show that you first contacted us well over a year after your original purchase. While we always aim to support our customers, this fell significantly outside both our warranty period and the refund window available to us — which is why a replacement or refund was not possible, despite our best efforts to find a solution.
We want to be clear that our customer service team responded to every message promptly and in good faith throughout our exchanges.
We regret that we were unable to reach a satisfactory outcome in this case, and we understand the frustration. However, the timeline of events made it impossible for us to process the resolution you were hoping for.
Warm regards,
Sarah — Ambience Design
Would give 0 stars if I could , APPALLING! AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Represent themselves as a uk based company selling "luxury" items. What they are actually is a Chinese bases organisation selling absolute cheap rubbish. Lamps arrived cramped into a small box with no assembly instructions, screamed cheap tatt from the second I laid eyes on them. Installed the first one following their supposed "comprehensive" installing guide (3very basic lines on the side of the box) lamp lasted 10 minutes then fell off the wall and broke. Contacted for a return and full refund only to be met with multiple false narratives as to why this isn't possible. Safe to say ive raised a card dispute and reported them to trading standards. Honestly stay well clear if you value your money...

Dear Hayley,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you felt this way, though we must respectfully address several inaccuracies in this review.
Ambience Design is a legitimate, registered business — we are not misrepresenting our origins in any way.
Regarding installation instructions: our products include a QR code providing access to detailed step-by-step guidance on our website, well beyond the summary printed on the packaging. We have no record of this being consulted prior to installation.
When you contacted us, we responded promptly and offered multiple solutions: a full set of complimentary heavy-duty adhesive pads, our complete installation guide including the screw-fixing method for a permanent result, and a return in line with our standard terms. All of these were declined.
We always aim to resolve issues fairly and thoroughly — as we did here — and we regret that none of the solutions offered were accepted.
Our offer remains open should you wish to reconsider.
Warm regards,
Sarah — Ambience Design
Rechargeable bulbs???
Worked sporadically with the remotes enclosed. When the bulbs ran out quite quickly. I took the bulbs out to recharge them this was a bit of a faff to do. They worked when I put them back in but only lasted for 2 hours duration. Complete waste of money. They shouldn't need recharging so frequently. Don't buy. A mistake I won't make again.

Hello Joanne,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and I'm truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issues with the rechargeable bulbs.
I can see from our previous correspondence back in September that we worked together to address the adhesion issues with the wall mounting, but it appears the battery performance problem was never fully resolved - and that's not acceptable.
Rechargeable bulbs should absolutely last longer than 2 hours on a full charge. If yours are only lasting that long, there's clearly a defect that needs to be addressed.
I've reached out to you directly via email to discuss a proper resolution. We want to make this right for you - whether that's through a replacement or another solution that ensures you're satisfied.
Please check your inbox (johart87@gmail.com) for my message, and let's work together to resolve this properly.
Thank you for your patience, and I apologize again for the frustration this has caused.
Best regards,
Sarah

Wall sconces
I ordered the wall lights before I had read the appalling reviews, and was extremely concerned. The lights were ordered early on a Monday morning and arrived 10 days later on the Wednesday, yesterday.
I was dreading opening the box, need not have worried everything was fine, all screwed together perfectly bulbs worked perfectly, I was really pleasantly surprised and very happy. I have photos to prove it.

We totally understand how nerve-wracking it can be to order after reading negative reviews - thank you for taking that leap of faith with us. Your honest feedback about the quality and installation experience means so much.

Do NOT purchase from this company
Do NOT purchase from this company. I ordered 2 bulbs , when they were delivered the packaging was damaged and when I opened up the boxes one bulb was completely broken, you could also see what poor quality the product is and I realised I had been ‘done’ for want of a better word. I contacted the company asking for a refund and they told me in order to get a refund I would have to pay the return postage costs !! But if I wanted to keep them ( the broken damaged poor quality bulbs) I’d get 50% back!! Or they’d send me two new ( poor quality, plastic made in china bulbs) I am currently fighting with them to get a full refund! So I am £20 out of pocket.. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

Wall sconces
This is the second time I have ordered the sconce lights from this company. The first order I had a slight issue but Sarah from customer services dealt with it brilliantly and resolved the situation. Love them! So ordered again! Again a small problem arose, however again it was resolved brilliantly. I have had nothing but fantastic service and a good product from this company. Customer services have been brilliant. I will definitely order from them again!

Hello Lynne,
I want to address your concerns directly because I can see there's been significant frustration on both sides.
First, regarding the "AI reply" comment - all our customer service emails are written by real people on our team. We do our best to respond professionally and thoroughly to every inquiry, which may sometimes come across as formal, but these are genuine responses from our customer service team.
Regarding consumer rights and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 - we absolutely respect your rights as a customer. When products arrive faulty or don't work as described, customers are entitled to appropriate remedies. We've never disputed this.
What happened here is that your credit card company has already processed a full refund for you. The matter has been resolved financially in your favor - you've received your money back.
We reached out simply to ask that you consider updating your review to reflect this resolution, as the review currently describes an unresolved situation when in fact you have been fully refunded.
I understand you may still feel frustrated about the initial experience, and that's completely valid. We just wanted to ensure the review reflects the complete outcome.
If there's anything else we can help clarify, please reach out:

Don’t buy from this company
Don’t buy from this company, goods arrived damaged as a result of poor packaging. Several emails sent requesting returns information and that a refund be made to my bank. Customer service rep Sarah informed me it is not their company policy to refund I too pointed out consumer rights particularly relating to distant selling. Referred the matter to my bank as a retail dispute and will be informing Trading Standards and Instagram of their behaviours to protect others

Hello Jo,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I can see this has been a frustrating experience for you.
I want to clarify what actually happened here, as there seems to be some misunderstanding about our refund policy and the events that took place.
When you contacted us about the damaged goods, we immediately offered to help resolve the situation. We never refused to refund you - in fact, we processed a full refund of £49.50 for your order back in September.
You received your complete refund, and the matter was resolved financially. We then reached out asking if you'd consider updating your review to reflect that resolution, since you'd been made whole.
Regarding consumer rights and distance selling regulations - we absolutely respect these rights. The full refund we provided demonstrates that commitment.
I'm not sure what miscommunication may have occurred, but the facts are clear: you received a full refund for your damaged items. We simply hoped you'd update your review to reflect the complete outcome.
If you have any questions about what transpired or need any clarification, please feel free to reach out:

Purchase at your own risk!
Purchase at your own risk!
Quality is shocking, cheap, thin Chinese crap, arrived scratched and in bits, fit them together and nothing is square, sent photos and emails, requesting a full refund under UK consumer rights act 2015, just get generic responses, stating, no refund on sales good, even though they are damaged and not fit for purpose, return address is in Texas!!! To discourage people from sending this tat back. These will simply be going in the bin... UPDATE: 3 months after leaving this review, Sarah has made contact with me to ask me to take this very honest negative review of the product and service with a conditional offer of a full refund... ONLY if I take my review done, underhand business practise!!

Hello Paddy,
I need to address some serious inaccuracies in your review that are misleading to other customers.
First, regarding your claim about our return address being "in Texas" - this is completely incorrect. We are a UK-registered company with UK-based operations. Our return address is in the United Kingdom, not Texas. I'm not sure where this misinformation came from, but it's factually wrong.
Second, you mention requesting a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and receiving "generic responses" with "no refund on sales goods." This doesn't align with our records or policies. We take consumer rights seriously and have always worked with customers to resolve legitimate product issues.
Your update states that I contacted you 3 months after your review with a "conditional offer." Let me be clear about what that means: when a customer has an issue with a product, we offer solutions - whether that's a replacement, repair, or refund. If we provide a full refund that completely resolves the problem, it's reasonable to ask that the review reflecting an unresolved complaint be updated accordingly.
This isn't "underhand business practice" - it's ensuring reviews accurately represent the complete customer journey, including resolutions.
If you genuinely experienced the issues you described and would like to work toward a fair resolution, I encourage you to contact us directly with your order details:

Hello Chrissy,
Thank you for leaving your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you received damaged items and had concerns about return costs.
I want to help resolve this for you, but I'm having difficulty locating your order in our system under the name "Chrissy." This might be because the order was placed under a different name, email address, or perhaps a different spelling.
Regarding your comment about us not being a UK company - I want to clarify that we are indeed a UK-registered business. We operate from the UK and serve UK customers, though like many e-commerce businesses, we work with suppliers and warehouses in different locations.
I'd really like to look into what happened with your order and the damaged items you mentioned. Could you please contact us directly with your order number or the email address you used when placing your order?
