Crate and Barrel

I purchased a couch in 2016. I noticed a few of the cushions of small areas where the seam is ripping. They provided absolutely no warranty resolution for this issue, instead they blamed me for "moving residents" and/or "vacuuming". Their solution was to either purchase an entirely new couch (of course through them) or purchase new cushions IF they still made the same couch. This is absolutely appalling considering how much you spend on products through this company. Their warranty policy is 30 days after purchase of product which is comical! I do not recommend purchasing anything through this company and will not be purchasing anything else through them. The customer service is ridiculous and extremely disappointing. Anything damaged or "wear and tear" will be your fault and they will not provide any way to fix the product unless you SPEND MORE MONEY WITH THEM.

I am sharing a review on this site since Crate and Barrel moderated my review and would not post it. I purchased the Avondale sectional back in January with the expectation that it would be delivered in August. This was understandable at the time due to supply chain issues. August arrived, and a damaged sofa was delivered (cracked leg and tear in fabric). The sofa was put back on the delivery truck. The Crate and Barrel customer service rep I spoke with seemed to be on top of re-ordering the sofa for us. We got a new delivery date of September, which had to be rescheduled for October due to a hurricane. No one showed up on the October delivery date. I called the delivery company to inquire and they informed me that the sofa was damaged and the delivery had been canceled. I called a local Crate and Barrel store for a status update (which was helpful since every time I called Crate and Barrel customer service, they couldn't give me any info).

Extremely long wait, longer than they say, and poor service. Bought two sleep sofas in May and was told up to 6 months for delivery. Bought because having company at Christmas. In these 6 months, they have no idea where your furniture is or when it might be finished (comes from China?), and they can't give you an update. I find this appalling - it's a furniture company - how can they not know the status of your furniture?

I'm posting this here because C&B "moderated" my review, meaning they refused to publish it on their website as written. C&B provided legal language as to the reason citing the review must be about the product and its use. This is ironic given I cannot use the product because it is damaged and I cannot get a new product to use because of their vendor and delivery issues.

I placed an order on Nov. 12, 2022 and was advised it would arrive between Nov. 16 -19. The next day showed arrival would be Nov. 19 - 21. The next day stated it would be Nov. 20 - 22. The next day it would be Nov. 24 -26. On Nov. 20 I received an email that the item had been shipped by FedEx along with a tracking #. The next day, Nov. 21 I entered the tracking # which showed the information was sent to FedEx but the item had not been receive by them. My Credit Card was charged the following day after the order was placed. As of this Date Nov. 21, 2022 (9 days later) I still don't know when or if I will receive my order. All they have done is lied about the order over & over. if there was a rating less than 1 they would get it from me.

Worst buying experience. I would not recommend this company. Bought Dresser and side tables. Put purchase on Credit Card for the rewards. A couple weeks after purchasing we were notified the order was delayed more than once. When the order was shipped, one side table was damaged and had another customers name on it. Dresser showed up damaged, loose handles, dust and dirt in the drawers. They sent out a new one, again damaged. Finally ended up with an acceptable product. The rewards program is terrible, not allowing you to have more time to use your rewards, especially given their supply chain issues. You have to move mountains to get them restored.

Purchased a set of dishes. When we unpacked the boxes, 2 plates had chips. Called within 2 hours of purchase and was advised we had to return the chipped plates before a refund would be issued. The company would not accept photo evidence. Plates cost $11. But mileage cost to return would be more. Thus, no refund. Beware of shopping at Crate & Barrel.

Shipped dishes from Soho store were poorly packed, not marked fragile, and arrived 90% broken. I was required to return this heavy box for credit. Repeated calls to Soho customer service resulted in long holds, followed by automatic bounce to voicemail, and no return call.

I have purchased multiple pieces of furniture from Crate & Barrel throughout the years. I have continued to purchase due to the great quality. This is the first time I have had issues with a product. The issue is with our king sized bed frame, the supporting beam in the middle holding up the mattress broke after 3 years after purchase. We investigated why it happened & found that the post that supports the middle was loose and not glued in when installed by the company. It’s just a block that can spin & fall out at any moment while cleaning.

So incredibly frustrated with Crate and Barrel as an order placed 1.5 months ago has been constantly pushed back again and again and is now showing mid-Nov availability in my order. However I can go to the website and it shows that it is available for immediate shipping. Customer service is useless as they parrot the line that orders are fulfilled as they come in and they don't seem to understand why it's weird that new orders are shipping now while old orders sit. Terrible experience, terrible service.
