I purchased two bedroom sets Queen/pine & King/Iron Burl) on December 13, 2008/ The furniture was scheduled for delivery and arrived on the delivery date of 12/19.
The chest (SKU 32601925) Iron Burl was damaged and I refused delivery of that piece.
The Queen bedroom set was assembled.
My King bedroom set was laid out for assembly. It was discovered that the box did not contain any bolts to assemble the headboard.
The delivery team left telling me that the service department will call within ten minutes to send a technician out with the parts and he will be able to assemble the bed.
Three hours went by. I called customer support. The technician's do not have these special bolts on their trucks. The bolts were to be shipped overnight from the Dallas, TX warehouse.
Saturday came and there was no overnight package delivered.
I called customer support. Seems that the clerk did not send the email to the warehouse until Saturday morning so the package did not go out and that it would not be shipped until Monday, 12/22 for a Tuesday delivery.
I discovered that the Queen night stand wobbled and that three of the King post caps were damaged. I called Customer Service. They are adding the end caps to the same shipment with the new chest and the service technician will check out the night stand and see what the problem is.
Tuesday came and went with No overnight delivery.
I called customer support and they said that they didn't know if the package was shipped or not and that they did not have any way of checking. I requested that a supervisor call me. They also said that the end caps were not included in the same delivery as the chest.
I wrote a scathing email to the service department and Lisa W. called me. She told me that she was a supervisor and that she was going to have a meeting with all customer support people who spoke with me and that SHE would personally handle my account until everything was delivered and set up and that she was going to CREDIT me all delivery charges.
The hardware had not arrived and Lisa W. said that they discovered that the warehouse did not have any hardware and that she had them opening all of the Iron Burl furniture sets to find hardware.
The week of December 22 - the Iron Burl chest was scheduled for delivery on Saturday, 12/27. That day arrived and I received a call from the warehouse telling me that the truck broke down and that all deliveries were canceled.
Lisa W. has not returned my call. I have left her approximately four (4) messages to no avail.
The hardware finally arrived. I called to have the service technician come out and get my bed assembled. They could not make an appointment until January 15th because it requires two technicians to assemble the bed and they don't have two available at the same time until the 15th.
The post caps - remember them? They were NOT delivered with the chest. They are not going to be delivered until January 14th.
When the delivery schedule people called me to schedule the Iron Burl chest, they were totally confused. They thought I was getting a pine chest and the iron burl chest. I told them I already had the pine chest, were they talking about the night stand that wobbled? No, the pine chest. I told them that it was in the bedroom and I did not need another one.
The chest was delivered January 6. The drawers only open half way. I have a call in to the service department about that. They said that when the technicians come out on the 15th they will take a look at it.
This has been the worst furniture delivery experience of my 61 years on the planet and I surely hope this company gets their act together.
