"Perfect Score"
The lamp I got for my wife has really brightened up her life. She’s now able to read, tackle jigsaws, and enjoy crosswords again. These are activities she couldn’t do for the past four years. It’s not the least expensive option available, but seeing the joy on her face makes it all worthwhile. The service was absolutely top-notch in every respect. Plus, it’s made in Great Britain!

"Fantastic Customer Support"
One of the parts on our lamp's plug was damaged. We received quick, friendly, and effective assistance, and they sent us a replacement part for just the postage fee. This has been the best response we've had from any company lately.

"No callbacks from them..."
Hey there, I've tried reaching out to this company multiple times about a sales question, but they're always busy and never return my calls. They sure spend a lot on ads, but the ladies who pick up the phone can't really help. I'm gonna go with a different brand now.

"Gemini Light with High Definition"
I purchased a Gemini light with high definition on December 14th, but it got caught up in some Christmas delivery issues. When I reached out to Serious Readers, they jumped right in to help, and the light was located and showed up the next day.

Upon opening the package, I noticed a small problem with one of the light housings. I got in touch with Serious Readers again, and Claire quickly addressed the situation, sending a replacement light unit that was super easy to install, plus she arranged for Freepost return of the original unit. Everything was resolved in just 3 days, right before Christmas!

The light itself is really well constructed, incredibly bright at its highest setting, yet adjustable for any room and purpose. We’re very happy with both the product and the excellent customer service.

"Awesome products, but the service is a real head-scratcher..."
Awesome products, but the service is a real head-scratcher. I was lured in by the deals from the SR eBay channel and was thrilled to hear about an extra discount they were offering. But honestly, I shouldn't have wasted my time trying to grab that discount. It just didn’t work out for SR customers.

When I pointed out to SR that this was an unbacked perk for their clientele and that they ought to do something about it, there was just total indifference. Days have passed, and I'm still waiting for any word that they’ve sorted this out.

It’s a small gripe, but it’s still a bit frustrating. I did snag their fantastic product at a decent price, even if it wasn’t discounted.

Fingers crossed that my experience was just a one-off. Still, it leaves a bit of a sour taste.

"Great company with solid customer support"
I've purchased a few reading lamps over the years, and they've generally been quite good. My only minor issue is that my most recent bedside lamp tends to tip over a bit too easily (it's the HD Legacy table lamp, not a freebie). That said, the light is fantastic for reading in bed and really looks sharp. My interactions with customer service regarding replacement bulbs have been great; they're super helpful if you're not sure which bulb your lamp requires. Even though it's a big company, it still has that cozy, family-run vibe.

"An Awesome Online Shopping Experience!"
I gotta say, this has been one of the top experiences I've had while shopping online. From the moment I clicked 'buy' to when it showed up at my door, everything was smooth. Serious Readers really take their products seriously, ensuring they meet all your expectations. The way they packed the item was the best I've ever come across. It just shows they genuinely care about what they sell. Honestly, I think the packaging should be reused for future sales. Once I unpacked and set up the light, it made my reading so much better, letting me dive into my books even after the sun went down. I got so comfy that I completely lost track of time—next thing I knew, it was 2am! Big thanks for such a fantastic 🇬🇧 product.

"Absolutely thrilled with this company!"
I really can’t praise this company enough. When I needed a replacement part, their customer service was top-notch! Huge shoutout to the super friendly and helpful Jade for going the extra mile to assist me with the replacement. As a professional, I often suggest their amazing Levo iPad stand to clients with disabilities. It’s a solid, well-crafted, and attractive piece of gear. I haven’t come across anything that even comes close - and the price is just fantastic.

"Wobbly Lamp"
The illumination from the Alex table lamp, which you get for free with the purchase of the bigger light, is quite impressive. That said, the base design leaves a lot to be desired. It's not big enough, making it wobbly (I've accidentally knocked mine over a few times). Pro tip: Use Araldite to secure it to your glass tabletop for added safety.

"Fantastic Support"
Great item, but what really stands out is the amazing support I got when one of my floor lamps had an issue after three years. They picked up the broken light and had it back to me in under a week, all for free and covered by the warranty. No fuss whatsoever, and the staff were super helpful and friendly. Kudos to them!

"An 'Absolutely' fantastic company."
I've picked up a few Serious lights and have been quite happy with them. But my most recent buy didn't quite hit the mark, probably due to a little design issue. Working with this company is fantastic since they really pay attention, and after giving me a full refund, they even upgraded my older light as a nice gesture, which I'm really pleased about now. I can't recommend this company highly enough and would gladly shop with them again if I need to.

"Super simple to work with"
Super simple to work with, I made my order and the lights showed up right on schedule. I shot off an email about the delivery date and got a quick response that answered my query. The product came on time, and the packaging is fantastic—really easy to open and the instructions are clear. The quality of the product is outstanding, just what my mom needed, excellent lamps with great illumination. I wish more businesses operated like this one.

"Fantastic Shopping Experience"
This light ain't the cheapest, but it's super bright, sturdy, and nicely packaged. The customer service was top-notch. They rushed the delivery for my wife's birthday. Turns out, we weren't really into the color. They exchanged it for a different one without any hassle, took the old light back for free, and handed us a new one. We're really pleased with the swap.

"I messed up my order and ended up with two..."
I goofed up my order and ended up with two items. A quick phone call, which was answered right away, and the issue was resolved. The light arrived in top-notch packaging just like they said it would, on the promised date. It's a fantastic light, and I've had zero issues. Definitely recommend both the product and the customer service!
