I recently ordered the ottawa dinner set in orchid from Ecology with matching dinner bowls. The dinner set was in a proper box and arrived intact, but the bowls were not packaged securely and one arrived broken. I reported the break with photos and the replacement arrived today in a box that had clearly been dropped from a height, as the side was… Read more

smashed in. The bowl itself was wrapped in one piece of tissue and one piece of stretch paper, then placed in some peanuts inside a flimsy cardboard box. It was broken far worse than the initial one it was replacing. I've tried to contact them with no reply. They give you no shipping notifications, and the freight company they use clearly doesn't care about the "fragile" tape. It's also very difficult to find contact details for them on their website. I highly recommend that you don't order from this company. Additional review: it took a while for them to get back to me, but a replacement arrived for this second broken bowl in even worse condition than the first replacement . It’s incredible that they believe this to be extra safe packaging for ceramics and then they actually blamed the freight company for it arriving in pieces this time. After harassing them I eventually got a refund.

Have to say I'm so disappointed with the quality of Ecology products. Bought the Acacia 4 sided grater, within 6 months the timber handle fell off! I've also had the glass pantry storage containers for a some time. The lids do not fit correctly and lift off easily, today I threw out all my flour, semolina and rice as they were full of mites. This… Read more

is the second time I've done this after thoroughly cleaning everything the last time. A problem that I have never had before in my life! Done with this company and their rubbish quality products.

Tagging: @ecologyhomewares @davidjonesstore Extremely disappointed with both the Ecology dinner set I purchased and the lack of support when things went wrong. The entire set chipped after just a couple of uses — every single plate. The quality is terrible, and the plates seem to just fall apart under normal use. I expected far better. Worse… Read more

still, when I reached out for help, Ecology refused to take responsibility, despite the product clearly being theirs. They passed the blame straight back to David Jones. No solution, no apology, just complete disregard.

@davidjonesstore — why are you selling such poor-quality products from a brand like this? I’ve always trusted your store for quality and service, and this experience has been a letdown on both fronts.

Do yourself a favour and avoid Ecology products. NEVER AGAIN.

Glaze was patchy from the beginning and progressively got worse within a few wash cycles

Love my bowls – I almost didn't buy because of the other reviews, but the bowls I wanted were sold out in most stores. My experience was positive and my bowls arrived really quickly. The courier kept my status updated online so I could see when they were due. I purchased Ottawa laksa bowls online and Element laksa bowls in store. I love them! They were well… Read more

packed with sustainable packaging. They are big (the dimensions are listed online) which is what I wanted. I have used them many times and I put them in the dishwasher. It is frustrating that there is no contact number and no chat option on the website, it's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Stain and gies dull Ecology Canvas Range – Very disappointed, within 8months foods like blueberries etc if used in the plates would stain and could not be removed .

Ecology Homewares – Have to say the quality of the products is sub par! I've bought the speckle dinner set that nscratched in no time and looked cheap and nasty. I had a few cheaper plates in a similar style bought from KMart that have fared better! I also had a serving board that looked cheap and nasty when it arrived, I'm all for rustic but the metal and timber… Read more

finish were not nice and quite sharp to use. Unfortunately customer service is not great at all when trying to fix problems. I definitely wouldn't buy from them again.

Perfect diningware – I gave sets of Ecology dinner sets to my children for their new homes. I also bought a set for ourselves. I love the simple circle of colour (blue,aqua or grey) in the centre and the beautiful feel of the bone china. It's quality goods from Ecology.

Beware! An ecommerce business without an exchange or returns policy – BEWARE if you're buying off the internet they apparently don't have a returns policy (I was meant to read the fine print before buying, like everyone else does!!) It's nearly 2022 and as an ecommerce business this to me is unheard of and really states that they are about themselves and not the customers whom apparently they serve. For a rural… Read more

customer like myself who cannot touch, feel or look at the goods let alone get a big surprise when the Laksa bowls I bought look like serving bowls that I was unable to exchange. Terrible customer service in these times! They have lost me as a customer and I will be sure to tell all my friends to shop at a business who care about their customers.
