    I bought a rug and spent over $6500. When I tried to clean off one spot the water ruined the rug in that area. Over the past 3 years the rug now has bleached out spots, brown stained spots and looks like a disaster. No product can be used on it! Expert carpet cleaners told me that viscose rugs are garbage and that RH has nerve selling it for astronomical prices. They said it is not cleanable at all even by taking it to a cleaning facility. Customer service at the store in Greenwich is terrible. They are stubborn, dismissive and mix up orders constantly. Ordering online is frustrating. They are backordered in so many products. The look is great but they expanded too rapidly and can not meet demand. I have over $30,000 of their merchandise and you would think that I would be treated with respect and good customer service at the Greenwich store. They even charged me $40 to bring home a swatch of carpet to replace the rug that is destroyed!

    About 1 year ago I spent over $10,000 on various items from Restoration Hardware. I worked with a representative in the store to pick out pieces and plan a layout for my home. Initially I was happy with the service I received. After that there were many issues and RH customer service did not meet my expectations.

    1. The table was delivered with defects.
    2. One of the chairs had a large splintering piece of wood from the seat
    3. The top of the coffee table I ordered started fading and chipping away.

    4. Delivery of many items took a lot longer than initially quoted.

    When I spoke with an RH rep regarding these issues I was dismissed again and again with the response that there was nothing that they could (or would) do. When furniture is so expensive you expect that at least the quality of the items will be up to par. Unfortunately this is not the case with RH.

    Purchased over $18K in furniture (couch, cocktail table and small dining table and four chairs) and sat down with design rep. She agreed once furniture arrived she would come out and help with paint colors and accessories. When we stopped by afterwards she was busy or had excuse and cancelled two appointments. Couch with chaise arrived and was defective-almost 2 1/2 inch gap between couch and chaise and chaise had seam half-way down cushion. We waited almost 3 months for sofa and although they replaced no one called to apologize. Honestly, their furniture is not worth the extra price and they blow smoke up your a!! to let you think you matter and you really do not. Look elsewhere, Overpriced and full of themselves.

    Unique products and large variety of accessories. Good place for furniture components and hardware. Like the selection of miscellaneous parts and furniture are nice selection from modern to retro motiff. I do like the store because I always find something different from the other places. The store staff are very helpful and I wish there were more store in the area. One I go to is in Short Hills Mall, a bit far from my home. But the online store is well built and easy to navigate. I can always look in website prior to heading to the store. Have not purchased anything from the website because it does not offer free shipping.

    I ordered the Maxwell sofa & chaise lounge February 2019 and received it in May 2019. The sofa had a flaw in the fabric so RH said they would replace it after I sent photos to them. In July 2019 I received the replacement sofa/chaise and the chaise had a seam running across the center of the seat cushion (which was not there on the original chaise). Once again they agreed to replace after sending them photos of the first & second chaise I received (one with the seam and one without). Upon receiving the third sofa/chaise several weeks again (November 2019), the chaise still had the seam and I refused delivery. I have spoken to numerous customer service reps who now tell me the chaise now comes with a seam; however, I was referred back to the RH showroom sales person and am still awaiting a response to see how this matter will be resolved.

    I figured out how to adjust the brightness! Now I’m more satisfied with my purchase.

    Original Review: Oct. 29, 2019

    I purchased 4 of these LED brass lamps. Overall, although they are pretty good lamps, they are not worth $500 each! And yes they are made in China, although you won't find that on the RH website, where it just says "Imported".

    Pros:
    - They look good.
    - They are heavy and feel very solid.
    - The light is bright and it’s a comfortable color temperature.

    - The cord material is high quality and it’s a good length.

    Cons:
    - Of the 4 lamps I bought, two of them came with yellow plastic wrapping material jammed into the retracting part of the lamp. This made it very difficult to remove the wrapping and extend one of the lamps, and impossible on another (I returned it).
    - The light is almost TOO bright - it's brighter than the several similar older halogen lamps we plan on replacing with these.
    - Also there is no brightness adjustment - on or off is all you get.
    - Only height can be adjusted. The head doesn’t rotate or swivel, so aiming the light is limited.
    - The pole is not perfectly vertical on two of the lamps.
    - The lamp head droops down a tiny bit on one of the lamps.

    (The last two issues above are really only noticeable when I place several lamps side by side).

    Basically I think these would be great lamps for $200 or $300. But for $500, not so much. To make them worth the price they need to have swiveling heads and more than one (very bright) brightness level.

    I spent thousands of dollars purchasing a sofa, loveseat and ottoman in the Belgium linen with down cushions. The first order had to be returned because of fabric quality and because the sofa squeaked like an antique piece. The second order had to be returned because of another squeaky sofa. I would have just cancelled the order at this point, but "custom" orders cannot be returned.

    The furniture looks good until you actually USE IT. The cushions flatten out and the fabric looks baggy and, the squeak is back in the loveseat. Meanwhile, I'm still making payments on this garbage. My daughter had a spill on the sofa cushion. I was thankful that I had spent extra money on the "spill proof" coating, but of course this is a joke as well. It did not simply "blot" up. (The spill was a quarter sized blob of Coke) My attempt to clean it left an ugly, noticeable stain mark.

    Given the insane amount of money I spent on this sofa I reasoned that RH would offer a cushion cover replacement at a reasonable price. HA!!!!! $600 for a 48" x 36" box spring cushion cover. By my best estimate, this cover would cost them $60 at most to construct (IN CHINA). Everything they sell, by the way, is made in China. I am glad that I found a place to vent my frustration about Ripoff Hardware. Notice that they don't offer ANY reviews of their products on their website because they know the injustice of selling an inferior product for an astronomical price!!

    I purchased a tufted Kensington sofa several years ago. I have had nothing but problems with this sofa since it was shipped. The cushions droop and the leather doesn't match the frame well. They are down filled. I have called them about the situation. They shipped a new set of cushions and the same problem. I specifically asked them not to ship the down fill again but they did. Since then they have been completely unhelpful to the point of being rude. I just want non-down filled cushions that don't droop for the sofa. Why is that so hard?

    I purchased the St James nightstands in antiqued grey oak. The material looks like plastic, the tops are uneven causing lamps tip over, and the key in the top drawer makes opening the drawers a hassle. Getting customer service to respond to a request to return has been challenging. The Cloud sofa was an absolute nightmare. Even if you don't mind fluffing all of your cushions daily, the base of the sofa quickly deteriorated (despite rarely being used and nobody weighing over 160 pounds sitting on it).

    We purchased the 1930's French Farmhouse extension table. This table required us to pay an outrageous delivery service. This was delivered on 9/27/2018. We just moved from SC to Idaho and when we had table disassembled for the move we discovered cracks in the legs. We immediately called RH to have this poor quality table picked up. We spoke with customer service and was informed that because we "moved and they could not verify how the table was moved they would not replace or refund". This is the poorest quality of furniture and we will be pursuing this matter further. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS STORE EVER! They are essentially stating if you move our furniture will crack or be damaged and we will not stand behind the product.

    I purchased a sofa in linen, grey slipcovers with down stuffed seating, back and side pillows. Please do not buy this sofa. RH should have something to replace these cushions because they are flat and sagging and it was top of the line. I have not called customer service as I know that they will most likely say it is part of the normal wear. I would have to disagree as quality furniture tends to hold up. I think their marketing and looks are good, but true design from a functional standpoint and quality is not there in the purchases I have made, especially with this sofa. I've had discussions about the brand with other professionals at work and we have converged on agreement here.

    RODENT INFESTATION!!!! It took me a couple of days to think about how I wanted to summarize my experience. All I could come up with is Horrific! On Saturday, 9/28th, I received my second delivery of the same item (a sofa) damaged for the second time in a row. The sofa arrived fully boxed up in its original packaging filled with rodent feces. The sofa was stained throughout. Inside the cushions were rodent droppings. It was so alarming and incredibly sickening to have an infested product be delivered to my home.

    All of the droppings ended up on my carpet and floor which required me to immediately clean it. I am heartbroken that my family and I have had to live without our living room sofa for this long. The first time, the sofa was damaged because of a seam cut. The second delivery of the products was laced with a rodent infestation. I've had to entertain friends feeling embarrassed that I still don't have a sofa. I recommend that RH implement some type of quality-control inspection cadence for all outgoing deliveries. Had the warehouse completed a full inspection, that product should have never been allowed on the truck or entered my home.

    When I share this horrific story for family members, they immediately asked.."where did you order the sofa from?" My response is almost met with disbelief and shock that it is an RH product. At this point, I feel like it's been a losing battle and I should cancel my order altogether. If I had not purchased a lounge chair that compliments the sofa so well, I probably would just give up in disgust.

    I’ve had such an exhausting and disappointing experience with this company, it’s hard to articulate it all through writing. Basically the furniture I ordered turns out to be poorly made (broken curtain brackets, drawers of dresser wobbly, rollers on office chair don’t roll, etc) and customer service has wasted so much of my time making mistakes and running in circles that I can’t even bother to communicate my grievances with them. They don’t return phone calls as promised or follow up when the merchandise they’ve sent had malfunctioned. I think their furniture is mass manufactured outside of the US and while attractive, also dysfunctional. Lastly, it’s so hard to get the things you order because it’s not carried in their high galleries and customer service is not helpful. Don’t spend money, time or energy with RH, it’s all a show.

    It’s too bad that they don’t have info on the gsm weight of this linen, but my estimation is it’s probably around 125-130gsm. Super lightweight and soft and just keeps getting softer and softer, like sleeping on cloud. The softest linen I’ve ever felt, even softer than cotton as it’s so fluffy!! The weave is VERY fine, MINIMAL lint, and high white shine. The duvet cover is made in Italy, woven from Italian mills. I’ve sampled many linen over the years and this linen truly is one of the best that you can’t find anywhere else. Workmanship is great as well. RH has non made in China good stuff. You just have to look for them, and I purchased mine on eBay for less than half of retail price, brand new. VERY happy!!

    Where to start. Ordered over $50,000 worth of furniture from RH. The deliveries were not all at once because items were arriving at different times. The day my large marble top table was supposed to be delivered the crew showed up and said, "The table is really heavy - 700 lbs. and we can't move it in. We're taking it back to the warehouse or we can put it in your garage and you can schedule another delivery." They said I would hear back that day to reschedule. 2 days later still nothing so I called and they said they would be there the next day. SAME THING HAPPENED the next day - 2 drivers, said "we'll be back," never heard from them.

    I got a call that they would be there the next morning and I said, "Are you SURE you are sending a 4 man team?" They said, "Yes of course." Well the next day 3 guys show up and try to give me the same speech. I said, "Just get the table set up. This is crazy." They were completely incompetent. They didn't know how to use the dolly or straps, barely rolled the table through the door, spent over an hour on the phone complaining to the warehouse. At this point they said they were missing all the hardware for the base - my maintenance man was on site and ran to the store, bought hardware and put the base together himself. After literally hours of the guys standing in the dining room talking about how to put the top on my employee walked over and said, "Each one of you take a corner now." He grabbed a corner and said, "Lift." They lifted it onto the table...

    Now they had to install 2 bedrooms of furniture. It took them approx. 1.5 hours to put a simple metal frame bed together. I had to show them how to put the slats in because they said they didn't fit. The frame was crooked and when I shifted it into place the slats slid in perfectly. In the second room I gave them a tape measure and asked them to simply center the bed on the wall. When I came in to check they were eyeballing it. I took out the tape measure and it was off by 7 inches. The main guy said "it's not our job to measure."

    Now my second morning. Room table arrived yesterday... When I got the call to schedule I explained what happened with the last delivery and was told not to worry, that was very out of character and would never happen again. The delivery drivers arrived and used the EXACT SAME SCRIPT as the last delivery people. They said, "It’s 500 lbs. Too heavy, we will take it back to the shop and you can get it another day. Can we store it in your garage?" They said that CUSTOMER SERVICE tells them to take the items to the customer’s even though they are fully aware they cannot install them with a 2 person team.

    To make matters worse they PROMISED they would be back later in the day yesterday with 2 more guys to bring the table in. I waited ALL DAY and never received a call and of course they did not return! It's now a day later, NO PHONE CALL, NO COMMUNICATION, NOTHING. I will never purchase anything from this company again. Their customer service and delivery is the WORST! I had another store - Living Spaces delivery a lot of other furniture for my house which is MUCH more affordable and the delivery went flawlessly!!!

I logged onto the website to discover that the price of common items sold from this company is simply unreasonable, not to mention the shipping prices for consumers living 250+ miles from a RH store. I'm not paying 7K for a couch and THEN paying an extra $500 dollars just to ship it. I've now called the company on three separate occasions and continue to find that the money placed on a gift card is non-refundable! I feel like I'm being held hostage. The only option for me now is to buy linens which are the only items that do not incur the $500 shipping fee to my location.

Our house is gorgeously decorated with select RH prices including a 12k sectional couch we purchased for $1,700, amazing lighting we got at 75% off, club chairs for $200 for the pair, 5k rug for $750, impressive giant cabinet retailed for $4,400 we bought for around $750, bathroom vanities originally 5k each for less than $1,500 each. My god we have the most luxurious RH towels that cost the same as Target towels! Literally the only thing we paid even close to retail was a 10ft Maxwell destroyed leather couch which our RH membership discount, plus a sale knocked off 3k from the 7,700k price making it totally affordable.

    Have any of you fools even considered checking out the outlets? WTF? Who would pay 27k for 4 prices of RH crap? Outlets have so much great stuff and have 50% of sales monthly on top of the already steep discount. My wife just bought a 3k bed frame for her sisters as a house warming from the outlet outside Austin. Price? $550! It was a typical outlet return with a slight scratch that was easily fixed and now my wife is a hero and her sister is thrilled. Besides the RH outlets check, out Craigslist or eBay. People get rid of overpriced RH stuff all the time. Why pay the ridiculously high prices when with just a bit of effort you can save $1000's and your house looks like you have money to burn.

    We spent $27k at this store on a leather cloud sectional, dining table, chairs and coffee table. I was excited to receive the reclaimed oak rectangular concrete pier table. However, upon delivery, there was a 1/8" ledge/lip between one plank and the next on half the length of the table which made the table non-functional. Stemware would fall if set down across this ridge. Not to mention that it was unattractive and hurt your hand if you slid it across this area.

    In addition, the delivery men knocked a sizable chunk out of the concrete pier when they installed it. This table cost us $4000 with tax and shipping. Client services repeatedly argued with me that this was a "celebrated" feature (a line taken straight from their online product description) and not a flaw. We bought this table for the time worn features; the knots, splits, and cracks but it is reasonable to expect the table to be functional. To add insult to injury, she indicated that they would accept a return but that we would not be "allowed" to replace it with the same type of table. What kind of customer service is this?

I really thought it was an art gallery or some kind of event. I had to go back inside the mall to ask where Restoration Hardware was, only to be told that I was in fact in the right place. No one looked at me or tried to help me. I was there for a half an hour. I guess they didn’t want my business. I ended up going to Crate and Barrel and bought my new bedroom set there.

    I ordered a crib for my best friend who is expecting. They called us back in May 2019 stating that the crib was ready for delivery, and that it could be set up to be delivered at any time. We spoke with someone and related that the nursery was under construction and we would need it delivered in mid-June. Restoration Hardware had no problem with this, and said that they could deliver it when we needed it. We chose a date of 6/19/19, and they scheduled it. This morning I saw that my credit card was officially charged and figured this meant the delivery was a go, until my pregnant best friend called me crying. Apparently they never set up a confirmation of delivery with her, so she called to find out a time frame they would be delivering between. This was when she was informed that there was a problem and they would not be able to deliver to her for another two to three weeks.

    That's great to tell a woman who is about to pop, and will not have a crib for her child. I then proceeded to call them and ask what was going on, and explained everything from the beginning. I was put on a two minute hold, and when the Customer Service Representative got back on the phone she said that there had been a computer glitch and that there was nothing she could do. I told her that doesn't help me much, or the fact that my friend could pop at any second, and she said to call back when the crib was delivered so that they could compensate me in some manner. I am really curious to see what they are going to be able to do, and when the final delivery of the crib will take place, but I can say that I was just about to buy new furniture from them, and will not be anymore. I am less than thrilled about what a nightmare this has turned into, and I am hoping that the baby holds out until she has a bed to sleep in. Ridiculous.

    I ordered a large cabinet that was in stock and available for immediate delivery. No one contacted me about scheduling the delivery so after 4 days I called RH and another week out was the earliest I could get the piece. They asked when I scheduled about stairs and I informed the scheduling people that it had to go up 2 flights of stairs. When it arrived the delivery guys said they could not take anything that heavy upstairs and I would have to reschedule with a 4 man team. RH knew there were stairs and how heavy the piece was yet they booked 2 men. The delivery guy said RH would call me - they didn't.

    I called them and was told the earliest delivery was in 6 more days. Then they kept me waiting for an hour and a half saying they were working on getting it to me sooner, which of course they didn't do. Thanks Danny! So having already gotten rid of the dresser I was replacing, I'm left with all my clothes sitting on the floor for a week. Now that I have read all of the other reviews I'm preparing myself for the piece to be a mess when it finally does arrive.

They have sent us this catalogue for years, wasting hundreds of pounds of paper, despite our requests to the contrary. This is a poor reflection on their business practices.

    Restoration Hardware hires out to poor quality delivery services. The 'white glove' delivery service which I was FORCED to purchase for $499 for the delivery of my bed was absolutely awful. #1. They were supposed to call the night before to set up the delivery time and they never did. So I called Restoration Hardware at 9:00 pm at night to ask when my bed would be delivered and was told that the delivery company called me....to tell me that it would be delivered the next day between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm. I said that there was no call, no voice mail, no nothing and was told that I must be mistaken...

    #2 instead of calling me 30 minutes beforehand, they called me an hour beforehand and said they were about to pull in the driveway. So they called at 9:30 am instead of 10:00. The delivery people unloaded the boxes, and tried to deliver, but couldn't fit the bed up the stairs and so packed up the bed and drove away. They didn't call and ask what I wanted them to do, they just left and I saw this on the camera so I called and asked where they were going. They said, "Oh it didn't fit so we are taking it back." I asked them to please turn around and go back to leave it and I would figure out how to get the bed placed in the house. Then I had the bed removed from packaging and installed after which point I noticed that the footboard was cracked. I called them to please come and take the cardboard away and they said they would and then never showed up....So I have about 150 pounds of packing material in my garage AND a broken bed.

    Restoration Hardware's response "the delivery company followed proper procedure. The only thing they didn't do was pick up the cardboard and so we will credit you $150 for that (because I have to pay to have it removed) but the damage is your problem because once they drove away, it became your responsibility and now we can't tell if the party you had put it together broke the bed or not." I will NEVER order anything from this company again. Their service is terrible and their quality clearly isn't all that great. About $3000 later and very unhappy customer.

    I purchased six full sets of expensive linen sheets, including duvet covers, for my higher end Airbnb. Within one year of using them, and carefully caring for them, I had two incidents where there were large areas of discoloration on the pillowcases. I noticed this in both cases right after the guests checked out, and before washing them. After the first incident, I took the pillowcase to my dry cleaner and he confirmed that the areas were discolored, and not stained. He believes a product such as a face lotion or a hair product caused the discoloration of the fabric.

    After the second incident, this time on three pillowcases, I contacted RH for help, and sent photos of the damaged pillowcases. After numerous follow-up emails on my end was told that I must have bleached the pillowcases and therefore they weren't going to help. Basically, the rep was accusing me of lying and closed the case. After receiving this email I contacted RH again and asked a new rep if it's possible that products such as lotions or hair products can pull the dye from the pillowcases, and she said that it was, but that RH doesn't consider this a defect. She actually suggested I charge my guest for the damage. Really? An innocent person that simply put his favorite product in his hair or on his face that day, and then went to sleep?

    I have washed and cared for these sheets with the same gentle detergent, in a gentle cycle with cold water. I don't even have bleach in my home. These were very expensive sets of sheets and now have two incomplete sets. I would not recommend purchasing from Restoration because they do not stand behind their products, and there is nothing professional about their 'customer support'.

    Shockingly poor quality. I’ve ordered a few items over the years from RH. A side chair that sat in my living room in the corner, unused for the most part. One day my 100 lb son sat down on it and the leg snapped and he and the chair fell to the floor. According to RH, this isn’t a manufacturing defect. Ok. Another time recently I bought an entire set of RH luxury towels in French blue. The color immediately began to run and the fabric pulled. I emailed and was able to exchange them, assuming it was a defect with that batch because RH towels are often rated so highly (must be reviews for their initial feel which is admittedly heavy and absorbent).

    The second batch quickly began to discolor and pull as well - so much so that they will be turned into rags within a year of purchase. RH refuses to admit any defects when I contacted them, and said I must be washing them incorrectly. I emailed photos of other towels I’ve washed the same way that have held up for years - no response from RH. Their goods are well marketed junk.

    Meanwhile the 30 days window to return is closing. Called again and said I would like to return the table completely (I would rather take my 5K to a company who gives you an undamaged item) and was told that the link to set up pick up will be sent to me. Nothing. Called again and was told that it takes 35 days for them to schedule a delivery (way outside of the window for the return and probably a way for them to then justify partial refund). I asked to speak to the manager and when I threatened to involve my CC company to open a dispute then miraculously set up a pick for me right away. I am never purchasing from this company again.

Competitor - coworker recommended I look at RH - I fell in love with a table and found what I thought the perfect chairs to accompany. When I say apathy... our associate couldn't have been more disinterested in the entire process. When tallied, our purchase was to be just over $7,000. maybe not enough to inspire interest from the hourly help? She told us about a couple of chair models they had in stock. Mind you - they carry a very small selection in Short Hills - not representative of the entire line.

    I wasn't loving the chairs she had. I kept asking... don't you have something with a roll-back top? I think it's called French something??? Nooo. Eventually after about 1/2 hour of dissatisfaction with the chairs - one can feel the framework underneath the cushion. When we thought one model had a shorter seat span - no proffer of a tape measure or a thought she might share with us... Eventually she found the chairs I described - way at the bottom of their website. She stated "it's way down at the bottom because nobody buys these chairs". Are all of their clients sheep following the standard set by the merchandise only displayed in the store? What would be the purpose of customizing and the catalog then?

    When I was just about reluctantly ready to purchase, my husband voiced that he thought we should just check "E.A." one more time to be sure. When confronted with the professionalism of our associate at that store, and their efforts to customize to our satisfaction - we bought on the spot. After reading these reviews... I am so appreciative that my husband wanted to go back to the other store. Can't wait to see our holidays on this new set!

They did not follow up with me, never presented me with an estimate of costs and an assurance that the pieces would fit correctly. They did not put the pieces together with the sizes and pictures and prices. The salesperson who was half my age was very condescending, looking me over as I wasn’t RH material.

First you have to see a sales associate, then if a sales associate is not available you have to be on a waiting list of time or come back another day.

After it arrived, it took some time for our contractor to install it. (Longer than 30 days.) This medicine cabinet- members price, on sale - cost $650 plus shipping. It is the most poorly made piece of junk I have ever seen. I would have been better off to buy something at Home Depot.

Unfortunately, it was a RH credit card or I could have gotten my money back. Thinking that it was just a bad one, we ordered a second one - the second one was worse. All the welds have been made by a welder who has never received any training whatsoever. Paint doesn't cover the entire piece and is just a dusting even where it was painted- so in a humid environment like a bathroom it will be rusted in no time. These pieces look like no one cares. At all. At 650 a pop, one would think they would at least try.

    This company is one of the last in existence that doesn't allow reviews on its website. That's because they would be out of business in days. This stuff is junk - and overpriced by about 10,000%.

    I placed an order with Restoration Hardware for an outdoor dining set in mid May 2018. Nowhere in the ordering process (pre-payment) did RH proactively inform me that the side chairs that I was ordering not be available until late summer. I even received an email shipping confirmation that confirmed all the pieces were available for delivery after May 16. However, on delivery day only some of the pieces arrived. Customer service tells me that the side chairs are still in China and that I should’ve known that from the order confirmation and that there’s nothing they can do. She couldn’t explain the shipping confirmation that expressly stated chairs had been shipped and available for home delivery after 5/16. Details are annoying, aren’t they?

    It seems to be a deceptive practice in that they are not transparent about the back order until the items have been purchased. For some reason the customer service agent was careful not to call it a back order. She instead called it a “137 day lead time." I think Restoration Hardware probably knows I wouldn’t have ordered outdoor furniture in May from them if I knew it wouldn’t arrive until late August. Is there any recourse to force RH to be more transparent and less deceptive in the order process? Very disappointed. Buyer beware.

    Extremely poor quality and the company does not care, once they have your money. We bought a Sorenson sofa with the Belgian linen fabric. Big mistake. The linen is paper thin and within 2.5 years, had worn holes from normal wear and tear (ie, people sitting on the sofa. Which is what a sofa is made for.) The linen is also saggy and wrinkly and looks old and cheap (It was not cheap!). The ineffectual customer-service agents simply say it's not their problem. I will never buy a single thing from Restoration Hardware again and advise others to stay away. The fancy designs mask an appalling lack of quality.

    We bought a couch 6 months ago from RH and spend around $10K. After 3 months the fabric peeled significantly (this was their "indestructible fabric" as they called it). It was significant enough that the couch appeared old and used. We complained and RH agreed to replace the fabric. Three of the pillows (replacement fabric) came damaged and peeled even worse than the original fabric and looked this attached picture in four weeks. We asked RH to replace the fabric on the 3 damaged pillow covers and Jennifer ** response from customer service was that it is their policy to only exchange the fabric ONE time even if the fabric is damaged from the peeling. It appears as if the quality of their fabric is so poor that the appearance of the fabric in the attached photo is normal wear and tear. DO NOT buy from this company. I give them zero stars for customer service and product quality. There are so many other furniture stores who value their customers.

    While working at the Westport, CT store #107, from the time it opened in 1997/8 ish until 2011... From original owner and creator Stephen Gordon through many different owners/administrations/iterations/changing from a great place to find unusual hardware, furnishings, awesome bath towels, Art Deco and Mission Style furniture, pine, and Cherry as well! Great selection of books, window coverings and hardware, living room and dining room furniture all normal human sized furniture before the development of the McMansions advance across the countryside. At that time we were proud to say all of our furniture was 100% American made.

    I purchased a beautiful bedroom set, 2 bedside tables stupidly designed with a single drawer over a gigantic open void with rope trim, made of some unidentifiable wood everywhere but the insides of the drawers which were cedar, nice! We bought the king sized bed with a high panel headboard with the rope trim and corners topped by spherical finials. Makes you feel like royalty! The bed had wood side rails joining the headboard to the footboard, also paneled with finials, just high enough to be flush with the mattress! Throw in the huge 11 drawer bureau; all furniture painted/stained black and accessorized with bronze hardware - hanging, swinging handles whose ends were held in place by two pegs with openings for the handle ends, the pegs held in place with little decorative disks.

    Okay... After approximately 4 months (after the usual nightmare of the headboard arriving cracked and scratched and waiting only another month for the replacement) the handles started to break off and the screws and some pegs needed replacement. I went to the employee (Stock Manager) who was in charge of ordering replacement parts. He was an ageist, sexist, chauvinist, attitudinally abusive guy in his 20’s who made it a hellish experience to request anything from him. I asked him to order 10 replacement handle sets for my furniture. Well, he threw a bag in the counter about a month later which I verbally confirmed with him was the replacement hardware sets... “Well, that’s what you ordered isn’t it?” Was the response.

    Now, 13 years later, one moving truck later, the bureau stands partially filled, I pull out the bag of hardware to find only the swinging part of the handle set x 10 in there... NO PIECES TO COMPLETE THE SET to actually Attach in place to once again have a functional drawer instead of using a knitting needle to open the drawers! Also, the bedside table is totally cracked and splitting with the paint/finish coming off. There has been no activity or actions to suggest a reason for this!

    I dust and polish or wax my furniture once a week! The only thing I keep on the table is a book or pair of glasses and a lamp.

    The policy which was in place at the time of purchase was “Anything, anytime, for any reason, even without a receipt, Restoration Hardware will credit you in the manner you purchased it. And do everything at all possible to make it a pleasant experience, because we truly want you to understand that. The customer is always right!” Well, my experience upon going back to the Westport store, was to get the response of “there’s nothing I can do” “we don’t carry that furniture anymore” (this was after another ultra rude woman/Manager I spoke to in the phone insisted there had never been any such style of bedroom set ever sold by Restoration Hardware EVER).

    As a matter of fact the company that manufactured the furniture is OWNED by Restoration Hardware!! Also... For everyone’s information... Restoration hardware furniture is now produced in China... Because of cheap labor... But doesn’t pass the savings onto the customer! The manager (who actually performed no activity but to keep repeating with a pleasant not present expression “There’s nothing I can do for you!”), didn’t offer any sort of solution to the problems... I.e., call the furniture maker to see if they could take a look through the back stock of various extra oddball pieces in the stockroom and get back with an answer. OR, pay for replacement hardware and all of the patching, staining drilling costs to provide matching hardware for the entire set, someone to repair the bedside table top.

    She wouldn’t even make any effort other than to suggest I buy replacement hardware, drill new holes, etc. which I wouldn’t do myself, I’d get a carpenter to do it successfully. Nope they wouldn’t pay for that. Wouldn’t pay for a can of furniture putty and some paint either. I said I was very sorry but she didn’t seem to be making any effort to even attempt to think of the right thing to do. She then said “well, then what do you want to do.” And I then said “well, then I want to return the entire set for a refund.” “I can’t do that... We don’t make that set any longer. So I can’t replace it.” I replied “Why makes you think I’d want another set when you won’t make any effort to resolve the problems that have occurred? I’m thinking I’ll just take everything apart and walk it all in through the front doors one busy Saturday and drop it all in the floor. And put my hand out for my refund.”

    She says “ I can’t give you a refund...” I ask “what do you mean... You are not going to honour your return policy? I don’t even see any return policy posted at all which is illegal not to have it prominently and legibly posted for the customer to read! When I purchased this set the policy was...” Then... Here’s the kicker. She looks up at me and says “... it’s OLD!” So is Louis XV furniture. Isn’t the furniture I purchase for that price expected to not require replacement every few years due to lack of quality? Most people replace furniture due to change of decor and then they pass the original furniture to their kids! What does that statement mean? I’m not giving it to her as a birthday gift!!! Next chapter is in the wings.

    This chandelier is beautiful but impossible to hang. The thin steel safety cable provided to hang 168 pound chandelier broke. The screw for the brass plate that was instrumental to hang this chandelier broke. One of the canopy screws broke. (That could mean 168 pounds of glass falling on someone's head.) The fixture cords frayed. The glass globes rained tiny shards of glass whenever they gently touched each other, which must happen to tediously ensure the globes are level. After 12 hours, our 2 experienced electricians stopped. While RH took the chandelier back without issue, we needed to have the holes in the ceiling repaired and ceiling repainted.

They will not replace or even offer a discount to replace it. They say it is due to the age of the piece. I have had outdoor pieces that last for 15 plus years and to have this rot after 2 is false advertising. DO NOT BUY outdoor pieces from RH.

    I have been a long time customer of Restoration Hardware. Never again. I was looking to buy a table with dining chairs. I started placing an order for 16 chairs and the dining table. When I tried to order the dining table, the delivery was eight weeks. So I did not order table and tried the day after to cancel chairs that were paired with table. Restoration Hardware refused my cancellation and wanted to me to lose 3000 USD as per their contract. I called them up to explain the stupidity of the situation, their excellent service asked me if I could read English as their only answer. A few days later I called them back to let them know that I will take the chairs to put them in another house, they simply answered that it was too late.

    Over the past year, we did a complete renovation of our home and purchased new furniture. We chose a couch, master bath hardware, master bed, and living room rug, all from Restoration Hardware. There are problems with all... and the service. We initially told them what date they could deliver the master bed after, since we were still under construction and did not want it in the basement. We let them know if they needed to deliver prior to that date, we would give them the address to the air conditioned storage unit where they delivered our couch. They delivered the bed prior to the date, and let a construction worker sign for it, all the while we never received the phone call it was being delivered.

    We complained and demanded they pick it up because it was likely to be damaged. They agreed. They decided to pick it up and deliver a new one all at the same time, when the air conditioning was set up and the house ready. When the time came, they did pick it up but brought TWO beds at that time. It took us months to negotiate them picking up the second bed which was brought by mistake. Then when we assembled everything, the bolt holes didn’t match up. It took us hours to assemble a king size bed that had 4 pieces, and we had to leave a couple bolts not tightened as they did not line up properly. The master shower was sent with the wrong rough in piece.

    The plumber had to call and get another delivered, but by that time, the shower had been tiled and the drywall had to be busted out and redone from behind the wall. The shower head had so little pressure, it dribbled out and we had to remove the flow restrictor just to get a decent pressure. The couch...after 7 months, it looks wrinkly and worn like we’ve had it for 10 years. The bottom cushion never was taught with the fabric like the picture shows and the sample in the showroom. When we called about it, they said it was because we had it in storage. Now- keep in mind, we had it in air conditioned storage completely wrapped up in the original packaging. They told us to steam it and it would tighten up.

    That did not work. The rug...it’s awful. Probably the WORST purchase EVER made. It is a basketweave rope wool rug. My designer picked it out. When it was delivered and set up, I requested the paperwork on it for care and maintenance as I did not order it. The delivery guys had no paperwork whatsoever. My cleaning lady vacuumed it and it immediately started falling apart. I called the service manager and explained the issue. She said it was because we vacuumed it with the beater bar.

    I explained that I requested care info at delivery and they had none. She agreed to replace the rug and advised me on the care, vacuum suction only. We received the replacement the day before Thanksgiving, and by Christmas it looked exactly the same as the first rug regardless of following the care instructions. It’s the worst rug I’ve ever seen. It looks “fuzzy”, leaves tufts of fluff all over the house, and is falling apart. So much for paying $4000 on a stupid rug. I have to throw it away and it’s not even a year old. Overall, I am unhappy with EVERY purchase we made from Restoration Hardware and will not be shopping there again.

    Restoration Hardware gives the illusion of high quality to get your money. After that you're on your own. I first ordered a set of the Belgian Linen sheets about 4 years ago and after a year they'd developed holes in the middle of the fitted sheet. I was sent a replacement set when I contacted customer service and I assumed it was a fluke and not indicative of the general quality of Restoration Hardware linens. That said, now, less than 6 months after the purchase of a second pair of these sheets I'm having the same issues as before. I make sure to delicately wash and air dry these sheets every time so I'm certain it isn't the care. But even still I would hope a set of sheets could last more than 6 months. Don't waste your money on any products from them! I just emailed customer service about this last set and all I got was a $50 credit and I get to keep my crappy sheets. Yay thanks, RH.

    6 months ago I bought this Aero table. This is a cautionary tale. The Marble was matte. Apparently its matte look was sprayed on. My Oval Marble Top table has been barely used. Parts are now shiny which lets me see that the coating is coming off revealing the shiny marble. I called and was told that perhaps I did not follow the directions only clean with water. I did spray it once with a marble polish: RH gave me the number of a furniture repairer and no, this is my problem. I live alone and when I say little use, I mean that. RH would not help with the expense to rectify this. I found a marble expert who was surprised that the finish was sprayed on. They told me how to remove the spray on finish. I will do this with acetone and then spray on a clear sealer. Whether or not you think RH should have been more helpful. I think that the product does not make sense as a dining room table.

    If I could I would give the company 0 stars. Recently I purchased almost an entire house of furniture and unfortunately I did not read the RH reviews beforehand. My experience has been exactly like all the others, damaged pieces and extremely poor quality. Over less than a year the wood pieces have been cracking and the fabric is shedding. My 10k sofa, which we barely sit on, looks 10 years old. Many pieces were delivered broken and I even had a wall mirror delivered that had no means by which to hang it.

    I can’t believe that furniture with these prices are so poorly constructed. I have come to the conclusion that their marketing department is brilliant, it’s the old smoke and mirrors. They must spend a fortune on their catalogs to make the rooms “look” so beautiful. Don’t be fooled like I was by how beautiful these rooms appear in the catalogs nor the gallery. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE GETTING! Also DO NOT USE THEIR DESIGNERS. They are never around and their designs won’t blow you away, anyone with a good eye for style can do better.

    Back in May, I received a source book from RHModern and in it I found a sofa I loved. It was vintage in style but looked modern with the fabric options and the walnut wood trim (per the sourcebook’s description and the website). Before I ordered it, I did all my research. I researched the different fabric types and the durability. I took the photo of the image and laid them next to other pieces of future in my house to see if the wood would match. Turns out it would, walnut would match very nicely in my home and mohair velvet in charcoal with go great with the back splash of my kitchen in the great room.

    I called about the sofa to see if they had a model on the floor. They did not, but I spoke with a man who said he was at the source book photo shoot and the sofa looked great. I went into the store gallery with my daughter and we worked with a wonderful young lady who help us look at the fabric options and the colors. We laid the color swatches in natural light as well as just regular store lights. I wasn't sure so I took two fabric swatches home and sat with them and laid them in different lighting around my house as the fabric was the only thing I could choose for this particular pieces, besides what side I wanted the chaise lounge on (right or left). This is important because the wood was suppose to be walnut in color, so no need for me to ask about different wood color options, right?

    After making a final decision, I went back to the store and made my order on June 12 and returned the swatches and purchased one more swatch of the color I would get on the sofa for my family to see. Then I went home. I was told that I would be contacted between July 10th -17th. By July 18th, I still had no word and received no call or email about the delivery. So I finally emailed and was told that the woman I was working with didn't work there anymore. Ok, fine, that happens a lot in retail, but you would think someone would have contacted me about the furniture order.

    While on the phone with this new person (July 18th) who seem cavalier about the whole thing, she informed me that the item was on back order. I stated, "Well shouldn't someone have told me that." She replied with, "Well an email should have been sent out to you." So at this point I'm looking for emails from RH modern in my in my inbox. I proceed to tell the woman on the phone, that I did not receive an email. She stated that one should have gone out, and I said it hasn't and she said she would look into it.

    On July 27 I finally received an email saying my order was delayed and that my new contact date to schedule delivery would be on or before Aug 13th. So almost month later than expected. So I wait. Finally I get contacted on Aug 11th saying that they would like to schedule delivery for Wednesday Aug 16th. Aug 16th arrives and we, my family, are very excited to finally have this new sofa. Once they unwrapped it and finished putting it in the right spot, I asked if I were to sign anything. They give me just a tablet and said sign with your figure. No one asked me to see if all was ok. Is this what you were expecting, are the colors right. All they said was to sign and on the tablet there were no words to be read, just a white space and a line. So I signed it (maybe that was my mistake) not sure.

    So they leave and I'm looking at it now that it's in place and something is off. I can't quite place it. Why doesn't it match? What happened? Then I realize that the wood trim is black no walnut in color. At this point, I'm getting upset. How did this happen? Did I miss something in my ordering process? Did I over look such an important detail as black trim? So I go onto the website and look at the source book. Both the website and source book say walnut color trim. So why was mine black. Also when you just look with the naked at eye at the source book and website the trim is clearly brown in hue, not black.

    I called the store that day and gave my complaint and grievance to a woman. She said, sorry about that, and that she would contact the vendor to see if that was the correct color. So I waited. Time passed and in this case if felt like forever. So I emailed her with photos of the black trim and with screen shots of their website in which is clearly states walnut trim finish.

    She finally contacts me via email around 6:30 pm and states that her leader saw the prototype in person and that the finish she saw was a dark black walnut. And that she would be reaching out the vendor of this piece to confirm that this is the correct finish of the walnut or if the website needs to be updated. The latter statement to me says: that if the black finish I got was correct "walnut" color then their website was wrong and they should update, but also it's on them (RH and Vendor) for misrepresentation and they should pay the cost to fix or give full refund, not the half refund they give on custom orders.

    She also went on to say that she would get in touch with me to see about what solutions they have for the warm brown walnut finish I was expecting and looking for. As of now, I haven't her back and it's now Friday Aug 18th. I did call yesterday and asked to speak with a manager who said he was aware of the situation and would have this woman call me back. I've had this sofa for 2 nights and 3 days now. We aren't sitting on it because if for some reason it needs to be return, we want to return it in the same condition in which I received it. I've even blocked off my living room, just to be on the safe side. So far my experience isn't going well, but we will see how they plan to remedy this problem. Especially since it was a $14,000+ purchase.

    A little about me for character sake, if that helps. I'm a mom of 3 kids ages 12-16. Been married for 16 yrs to the same wonderful man. In our 3rd owned home together, why I wanted to splurge on a nice sofa. Volunteered since I was 10 yrs of age in various roles, was a girl scouts. Work in a church which I did not apply for, they offered the job to me or should I say, they said to me one day "We are going to start paying you" and ever since my work load has increased because I care about what I do.

    This isn't my first time buying custom furniture though it is my first time having such an experience. Which is why I'm writing this review. I usually don't write reviews, but this experience has me typing away. All this to say, this will be my final purchase with RHModern and its affiliates. I would not recommend them to anyone, clearly more expensive doesn't mean better. On a plus note: the sofa itself is very beautiful and looks like a piece of art but with the trim in black does not fit the rest of my decor. I am sad.

    I received a 9x12 very expensive woven Zeta rug from RH. After a week, I noticed flies everywhere near the rug. I pulled up the corners and noticed rice size black larvae and dead flies between the rug and pad. I am horrified. I killed over a hundred flies in my house and there are more about to hatch. RH refunded my rug and delivery, but I still can't believe the quality of this $2,000 rug. I'm still sick about putting my family's health at risk with this rug obviously from India or China. I just want to warn others about this issue. Don't take the risk of buying from RH.

    I worked at RH in Westport from before it actually opened its doors with Richard Gordon at the helm through to Gary Friedman's destruction of true customer service and beyond for about 12 years. (I had a very low 4-digit employee #!) During that time - before 9/11 - my husband and I purchased the Blaine Bedroom Set with a king bed, 2 side tables and the 11-drawer bureau! At that time the policy was that you could return ANY PURCHASE at ANY TIME without even having a receipt, and you would receive the last price it sold for in cash, even if we no longer sold it! It was especially difficult to research items that were years old to find the UPC code to give the reimbursement, but no matter what, we ultimately were successful! The philosophy was "The Customer Is ALWAYS Right!" And we were always pleasant and persistent!

    Now I have had reason to call the store in Westport to try to get some replacement bureau handles that were lost in a move and some sort of help regarding a cracking bedside table top. I provided my name, employee #, and name of the furniture set! The employee said that they didn't have it in their UPC reference book so it couldn't be replaced. Couldn't I just buy some new handles. Well. They are such an oddball size no one makes it! Not even RH.

    I asked to speak to his manager to give him a break. She didn't "remember " them ever carrying Blaine furniture and she couldn't find anything under my # except a RETURN of the Blaine Headboard because it was broken. Aha! The Blaine did in fact exist!!! Then she said she didn't have any other things with the UPC #'s, and couldn't help any further since the table couldn't be replaced or new hardware from the manufacturer! And they didn't have the records which they ALWAYS kept in employee purchases! We are not finished yet!

I called to try and schedule a delivery and the woman didn't know how to contact her colleague who I had sent the COI. She got frustrated and hung up on me. I emailed the vendor three times asking what my delivery slot was and got no response! Then when the delivery finally got scheduled I stayed home for my time slot and the couch never showed up! Call customer service only for them to say "Yeah that happened to a customer this morning - she still hasn't received hers". You would think that they would learn from that experience and tell other customers that day that they were experiencing issues. I'll never shop here again.

    My experience with Restoration Hardware was my first and quite possibly my last. I ordered a media system from their final sale. I was billed before the item was scheduled to be delivered, which I thought was odd because even Rooms To Go waits until it is delivered. Anyways, the delivery company calls to schedule date and said to expect a call in a couple of days to schedule delivery window, woman was okay, not rude but not friendly either. Delivery company calls like she said, and schedules the time frame for delivery.

    Day of delivery, I get a phone call, same woman that scheduled the date says: "Did they call you?" then laughs and says it was damaged. "Do you still want it? call this # and tell them what happened." Really?? I have to call and explain? I called RH and explain and tell them to reverse the charges including the membership fee. Of course, the woman on the other end tries to talk me out of it. Bottom line, at their prices they should have a reputable delivery company that can handle all deliveries with class!

You will get better customer service at Bob's Furniture or Ashley Furniture and pay a fraction of the price.

    Before I begin with my own review, wanted to touch on "Allison from NY"'s review. It makes no sense. She says she received a throw as a gift and loved it so much that she bought 4 more. When she washed the one she received as a gift, it was basically ruined and, when calling RH, was asked for a receipt. She said, because it was a gift, she had no proof of purchase, so nothing could be done. Um, she said she bought FOUR MORE, so why not just give the proof of purchase from one of those 4, if they are exactly the same item??

    ANYWHO, now for my own review... I think a good rule of thumb when shopping at RH is to stick with their smaller items (lighting and accessories, primarily). Never buy large case goods (tables, dressers, dining furniture, etc), as they look good, initially, but are made terribly. Certain popular websites (O.co, for example) carry many of the very same pieces for a fraction of the price.

    A great example is their "aviator chair" (which I own). RH sells this chair for between $2000 and $3000, while o.co has the exact same chair for $559 (theirs is called the "accelerator chair"). Keep in mind, RH will charge an additional $200 for shipping (o.co's shipping is free). It is literally the same exact chair. A friend of mine ordered the o.co version and we compared hers to mine. They have to be made by the same manufacturer, because every single thing, down to the rivets, is identical. It was after seeing this that I decided never to pay the insane prices for seating that RH charges. I mean, I can see a little more, but $1500-$2500 more, PLUS $200 for shipping?? NO THANKS.

    RH is very hit or miss when it comes to their customer service. I ordered a light fixture and immediately realized I'd ordered the wrong finish. Within moments of placing the order, I contacted customer service and was told there was nothing that could be done, as the item had been "reserved". This was a Sunday evening, at about 11:00pm. I was so angry, I told them I would simply refuse the package and would not be reordering. The customer service person's response was, "Is there anything else I can help you out with today?" At which point I hung up. I called back a few minutes later and reached a different rep. I explained the situation to him and he profusely apologized, cancelled the wrong fixture and ordered the proper one for me. There seems to be no consistency from one rep to the next, as far as their policies go.

    As far as the lighting goes... Pretty much my entire home has been outfitted with RH lighting. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but the quality and style is great, compared to what's available at large home improvement retailers. If you live near an RH Outlet, I would HIGHLY suggest a visit, as they have a lot of lighting that's been marked down and they offer an 40% off on most weekends. Just make sure to inspect them prior to leaving the store, as they are not returnable. I found a gorgeous Meridian chandelier (now discontinued), marked down from $2000 to $200! It now hangs over my bed, after a few years above my dining table. I will attach a pic.

    RH does have wonderful Christmas decor, although I would suggest waiting until after Christmas to purchase. I just wish they would discount a bit deeper. It is nearly May and they still have quite a bit available, because they seem to reduce the price one time and that's pretty much it. The moral of this story is just steer clear of the large furniture pieces RH offers. Stick with lighting, accessories and SOME of the small, occasional furniture pieces and mirrors. Do this and you'll be fine.

The second sideboard delivered was in worse condition so I kept the first one. I returned all the dining chairs because they were all pilled and dirty. (RH advertises the chairs are made of the finest Belgian linen.) Belgian linen does not pill. The first hutch came in a totally different color than the rest of the set so I returned that on.The second hutch had dripping stain all down the bottom of the front lower area of the door and base.

The vanity arrived and I was told by the delivery team that the vanity was checked twice, once before it left the Waterhouse and again before delivery. I was so disappointed to find the front left leg was damaged, chunk of partial wood was pushed in, about 5" of damage (supposedly it was listed as being SOLID WOOD). I was willing to keep the vanity as is, just to avoid the inconvenience.

    Contacted Restoration Hardware and they offered me 10% off the damaged vanity!!! Or to order a new vanity and it would take another 2 1/2 weeks for delivery. I asked if the vanity could be a rush delivery, due to all the inconvenience that this has brought to my household. Nothing more could be done, even having a one bathroom home out of service for this long. Customer service did not help, during this huge inconvenience in my household of 5!

I live alone and while I sit on the sofa every day, I expect more than 6 months of wear.

    I'm doing a home remodel, and after waiting for months for the Oval Aero Marble Table and the Shagreen Cube Rectangular Coffee Table, they were finally delivered. Within 3 weeks, the table, billed as a honed Carrara marble literally cracked and started to fall off the pedestal overnight like an earthquake had hit it-- it was clearly made of veneer, despite its >$4,000 price tag. After several urgent calls to customer service, I received an email that the marble was "around plywood", and not solid. The faulty tabletop posed an emergency and, upon threatening that RH would be responsible for my hardwood floor damage if they did not pick it up the same day, the delivery company agreed to get it.

    Similarly, the table, made of Shagreen with brass edges, and >$1400, started to experience separation. The glued table edges began to separate and the brass edges started to crack off. Honestly, I've seen better furniture at Sears. Now, I'm doing my best to get refunded, but that is coming in fits and starts, and requiring multiple phone calls. Incredibly disappointing experience.

    I purchased a 20TH C. ENGLISH SLIDER GLASS WIDE DOUBLE-DOOR CABINET from Restoration Hardware. Its original price was $4000, I got it on sale for $2000 - still a lot of money for a glass cabinet. I don't mind paying more money for quality, but problem with RH is they try to come off as selling high-end furniture (the prices certainly are). But when you take away the fancy marketing and actually look at their furniture - they are all extremely cheaply made in China junk that are constructed poorly and with low-end materials. Add on the poor service, and you got a disaster trying to order furniture from them.

    Here's a timeline of my nightmare after placing order for this glass cabinet: The material are extremely cheap, the wood used are all cracked and peeling, the hardware parts that are installed on the wood were screwed on uneven and done extremely poorly. The hardware themselves are rusted (no not as weathered style just very poor quality). EVERYTHING is MADE IN CHINA including the hardware. The whole thing looks like it was something I can pick up in a bob furniture store - actually that will be an insult to bob furniture.

    Some fun issues include: The giant sliding glass door will literally fall off if you slide it as it's not secured on top. The doors do not close even, there is a giant gap on top. The doors squeak and extremely difficult to slide even after adding some lubricant, because the hardware was not installed evenly on the door. The glass doors are completely scratched up - looks like after you try to sand glass. Cleaning did not help. There are damages and scratches everywhere, corners chipped off, deep gashes like someone took a knife and went across the entire thing.

    The delivery service has NO clue how to install this cabinet, even though they are all wearing RH shirts. They are not professionals. The 2 guys spent 4 hours and couldn't figure out how to get the top on, or how to install the sliding door. To be fair - part of the problem is because how badly the furniture itself is. They didn't even try to ask if I was OK with, and just told me I should call RH to have the cabinets replace it. In summary, RH is OK for some of the hardware like cabinet handles and faucets, but when it comes to furniture they are a scam. They try to charge heirloom quality prices for furnitures that are made in China AND very cheaply made junk. Avoid.

Many problems with this request: Ummm this was a gift!!! The only way they were able to track the purchase was if it was purchased online versus in an actual store. If it was purchased in a store they offered zero assistance.

    They ONLY sell their own brand name products and their products are NOT sold in any over outlet. So how is this not proof it was purchased at a restoration hardware??

    Bad service and product? My experience was exactly the opposite. Not only is it super obvious regarding the $100 fee when you sign up for the membership, it comes with endless interior designer help. Kim ** in the West Hollywood, CA store came to my place, did a CAD drawing, gave lots of great suggestions in terms of furniture mapping, and had unique ideas. Of course they are trying to sell you lots of RH stuff, but they do understand that you will likely just be buying some items from them. I got about 8 hours of design time with her over a few days which I found to be incredibly helpful. I have purchased 3 sofas from them, all of them reasonably priced for what I got (they were all tufted leather, roughly 8 1/2 ft sofas in the $2600 range). They came exactly as described.

    I recently purchased the AXIS brass 60" chandelier. When I hung it, the wires didn't fall exactly in line, which concerned me since I liked the fixture but I know the full refund policy on it is only 7 days from shipping arrival date. I called up customer service and explained my concern, and they offered to extend the return period to 2 months to give the wires settling time from being crated up during shipping. If I wasn't happy at that time, I could return for full refund or get a replacement. So I have to say, no negative experiences for me, however, you do have to realize you are engaging with a higher end retailer, and the prices on items will reflect that. But I feel that the quality has been well worth the price.

    This past Nov, we decided to finally splurge on a few pieces we've been eyeing for a few years now. We purchased the 9 ft sofa, 2 chair and a half, the dutch reclaimed wood coffee table, 2 antler sconces and 2 floor lamps, and faux fur throws & pillows. The quality seems great, so far. The delivery scheduling was easy and the delivery guys were great. All our furniture was delivered 2 weeks earlier than expected. Loved that! We also became members, which saved us 25% on top of sale items too. Can't wait to order a few more pieces while we have the membership. Absolutely will shop here again and definitely recommend it.

    I was drawn to Restoration Hardware by the great line they had on soft goods, especially the cashmere robes. Not the best price, but I could get it monogrammed for my wife and have it for Christmas!! I tried to track my order online but was denied access to their site. I called four days before Christmas and was informed that the robe was hung up in transit between purchase and monogramming and that it was now in monogramming. I asked when would I receive the robe. I was advised by 12/29. I was very displeased, but was nice about it. Today is 12/30. I called and asked where was the robe. It was to be shipped today and I should have it next week. Not happy. I said they should do something about it. I was advised they would take the charge for monogramming off. I told them they must need the $8.00 more than I did and to keep it. Oh, reader you can rest assured I will never trust another important gift to Restoration Hardware.

    Purchased a $4,000.00 leather sofa. When delivered had mismatched legs, scuffs to leather, two large indentations in the leather on back of sofa, and what looks like oil spots on cushion. When I contacted their customer service was told that they could not replace since sofa had been discontinued (I was never told of the discontinuance at the time of purchase). Additionally, rather than replacing the mismatched legs they offered to sell me new ones. This is really outrageous from a store that claims to be high end and claims that sofas such as mine are custom made on basis of order. I urge that everyone beware! I would have been better off spending $500 at Big Lots for a sofa!

    For a national chain they have THE WORST customer service out there. The WORST. Bought a dresser over $2,200 in mid October. If we signed up to be a member we could save 20% or something like that, but they charge you $100 to be a member - which was in the fine print (my bad that I didn't see it. I thought it was for future ad/junk mail purposes). 4 weeks later, RH called and said the first shipment arrived damaged. Second shipment was on its way. 3 weeks later, RH called and said the second shipment arrived damaged. They charged us AGAIN for shipping (twice on the same order). Fought like hell to get them to remove it.

    They removed the first charge. Couldn't give me a delivery date on the third shipment so I cancelled the order. They refunded one of the shipping charges but not the dresser itself. Took multiple calls. When they finally refunded the dresser, we had to argue with the CSR that we shouldn't be charged FOR ANY shipping and that all charges should be refunded. RH actually argued with us that it was refunded when we should them our statement that it wasn't. Finally conceded and refunded everything but the original membership. Will never shop there or buy from them online again.

Also one door is not properly screwed to the hinges and the paint is chipping where this hinge attaches. I expected a heavier doors and a more handcrafted piece of furniture. As an architect /carpenter, I expected more and got less. I will stick to building my own versions of handcrafted and finished products. Maybe since the original owner sold out the quality went to **. Who knows. Handcrafted items are going away and the chinese make everything and it shows.

    We purchased five pieces from RH. Their sales team were helpful but when we got the bill, we couldn't figure out what we have been charged for. The charges on our CC for each item were split into pieces. Tax for a chair was charged separately from the chair price, for example. The problem began when we started getting charges that we couldn't align with the bill. We called and our sales associate told us that their accounting system is difficult to explain. After three calls and reviewing each item, I gave up when I reached differences of a few dollars. I have never asked someone to explain a bill for me. They seem to charge tax for every service they offer. There is tax for their membership. There is tax for their shipping. They split the tax from the actual bill. Our experience was terrible. We won't buy anything from them again. If you plan to buy, ask them exactly what you'd be charged for and how much so it won't catch you by surprise.

But I thought this was the best. Best customer service. Oh man was I WRONG! I have purchased a fire bowl. And it broke in less than a year.

    Well that has been a thorn in my side since August 24th. Yup. It is now November... And I can not get anyone to get delivery scheduled for me. They said I have to contact the trucking company personally. So I have. (Which is not my job.) And no one will work with me on the date switch. RH WILL NEVER get another penny from me.

For all of my troubles, which have included 1 hour phone calls numerous times to figure out the problem, they were willing to "compensate" 200 bucks. Are you kidding me? I have spent thousands!

    We are renovating our apartment and needed an armoire for the bedroom. RH had a number of great options only so we selected one and called about delivery. We were told that the armoire would be delivered and "assembled inside our apartment" by their white glove delivery service. The piece was discounted if we paid the membership so we paid the fee and bought the piece. First, they rescheduled our delivery three times as they could not make it at the originally agreed upon time causing my wife to miss work multiple days while waiting at home for the delivery.

    Second, once the item was delivered, it was in one piece and did not fit up our stairs. We called and were advised to tell the delivery service to take it back to the warehouse where it would be disassembled and brought back to us and assembled inside. We did just that and then followed up with calls daily looking for information on the new delivery. Finally, after multiple service representatives told us that it was in the works, someone let us know that there was no way that item could be disassembled and it was never coming back to our apt because the item was sold out.

    Finally, we requested a refund after all of this trouble and were told it would take a few business days, however, the membership fee was "non-refundable". You lose, thanks for playing. We will never buy anything from this store again and I would pay ten times for an armoire from someone else just to know that the delivery and installation will be handled properly and the company is not trying to steal a few hundred bucks from me.

In transit all the nailheads fell out of my couches and one of the wheels that was supposed to screw off - the entire wheel fell off leaving a dangerous sized nail hanging out of the couch. RH said they would sent replacement parts and they never came. I waited four months and they kept telling me they were in the mail. I was also told I would receive a refund of $2k. They said they sent two checks to two different addresses - they never came. I am finally trying to return all my furniture and still they are acting so incompetent - wrong contact info on file after its been changed several times and they screwed up my address several times. No tracking #s for the check for $2k either.

    I am now returning all my furniture because it is poorly made for the price they charged and I've waited over 4 months for no replacement parts and absolutely no refund check they supposedly mailed twice to two separate addresses that never reached me including my office! They are liars and completely incompetent in replacing defective furniture and issuing refunds. I dealt with a woman named Julie, a supervisor who had an attitude with me because I never received any of the checks they NEVER sent!

    Never ever use this company. Do your own research, don't just take my word for it. There are many folks who are equally unhappy with this company. My family's experience was with a $4K sofa build and delivery. We live in an older condo building. They built us an 84" sofa which could not fit into the building elevator. They did not ask us the size of the elevator at the time of purchase, and unfortunately for us we did not think about the size of the elevator when we placed our order. We rescheduled for delivery to another location. Somehow they were "unable to contact us by email" and our voicemail message boxes became inexplicably full when they tried to contact us by phone.

    Interestingly enough, neither my wife or I did not receive any emails from them in spam folders and we did manage to receive voicemail messages from friends, family and co-workers without any complaints of a "full voicemail box." We finally managed to get back in touch with them by email and were told the sofa had been moved to another location and they will no longer deliver it to our preferred location. They "agreed" to refund our second half payment with a $150 "penalty" and to "generously" give us a "store credit" equal to our initial down payment. They also agreed to "build another sofa" and deliver it to our preferred location approximately 2+ months down the road... This was our customer experience with Restoration Hardware. Buyer beware.

    I am writing this review to share a very positive review of Restoration Hardware. My wife and I recently purchased two large pieces of furniture from RH. After a short wait (much sooner than they stated it would be), they contacted us for delivery. Today, they delivered the pieces, and much to our disappointment, one of the pieces would simply not fit through the doorway. There was an issue with listed dimension versus actual. The delivery crew offered to take our window out which we would not allow. So, we decided to return it. Note, that we purchased a final sale item that we returned. We were very fearful that we would be stuck with the item.

    Quite the contrary, we were very quickly contacted 3 separate times by RH customer service to make it right. We decided to exchange the returned piece for two other pieces. Since it was an exchange from an existing order, we also got to utilize our previous unlimited shipping. So, there is no additional shipping charge and we were able to exchange a final sale item that did not fit for two other items at no cost. It is also important to note that I live fairly far outside local RH delivery areas. I have read here on Consumer Affairs that others have not had the same experience but feel it prudent to share a review of being pleasantly surprised with RH customer service. If you have not shopped with RH, you hopefully have the same.

Not the most user friendly, but the end result is stunning. I had to order 2 more panels and the price had gone back up so I called Customer Service. They were happy to assist me and lowered the price to the same as the other 6 panels, and also helped me cancel another order that was already shipped, and told me they would track it and reroute for me.

    It was my impression before buying furniture from RH that their customer service sucked. Needless to say, I had a yearning for one of their sofas and I finally pulled the trigger. At the time, they had 12 months no interest financing with an RH card (I believe they still offer this). I purchased an 8' Belgian Classic Slope Arm Sofa in standard (non-down) cushions (on sale for about $2,700). I did this because I had previously purchased a similar RH sofa in down (which I returned), as I found the down sunk down too low and didn't give me the back support I needed. Anyway, so I bought the 8' sofa in the standard foam cushions this time, in Charcoal Belgian linen. The foam sofa cushions seemed to be inferior quality compared to the sofa itself.

    After a few months I decided to call RH to see what they could do. I wasn't expecting much cause, as mentioned, I heard their customer service was lacking. To my surprise, they actually offered to replace the entire sofa! I told them I really just needed the 'cores' replaced with down ones (back cushions only). They gladly offered to replace them, though it does take about 12 weeks. Once I got them - this time the down didn't sink down as easily and had better back support for me - I decided I might as well get the lower cushion replaced also. Once again, RH gladly replaced the lower cushion 'core' with down. There was initially an error and they shipped me a 7' cushion (so it's taken quite a while to finally get the down replacement), but, everyone I have ever talked with has been very service oriented and happy to accommodate my requests. At no charge to me whatsoever, I might add.

    Yes, RH is expensive. We pay for their huge ass showrooms and elaborate catalogs. But, the bottom line is the quality is far better than West Elm, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel and the like. So, if you want furniture that is higher quality and is more of a long-term investment (that you'll want to keep around for a while), go with RH.

    I recently bought a Harmon Flushmount light fixture from Restoration Hardware. When it arrived I was dismayed to see how cheaply made it is, comparable to a $20 Home Depot item. While it looks attractive on the outside, the screw holes didn't align, there was a light rust on one part of the interior, it was poorly designed in terms of installation and the quality of material was poor. A complete headache. I could not be more disappointed. I did write the company and received a response but no follow up when I provided the product information they requested. Something to be concerned about when buying a RH light is how much light the fixture will produce. Much of their lighting has a low maximum wattage and you need to install another fixture just to see.

Essentially, I worked for two months selecting furnishings, and drawing room placements and was not compensated.

    Also, my previous client that I purchased furniture for at RH was not satisfied with the quality of the furniture that was delivered to her home. The showroom has nice soft comfortable down sofas, but the delivered sofa was hard and filled with something that was very uncomfortable. The tables were stained a much darker color than the ones shown to us in the showroom. It seems to be a switch and bait system.

    I have been wanting to write reviews on the products I purchased on the RH site, but didn't see how, so figured I would write here. Originally, after I discovered RH via the Houzz, I purchased a velvet duvet cover that I had a problem with. To start off, RH completely made it right with me and beyond. I was actually having a very stressful experience with a different company at the time, and RH restored my faith in basic human reasonableness and caring; true story - I DO NOT work for them nor am I being paid to write this, lol.

    Anyway, they were having a bedding sale, so I purchased two new duvet covers and a some blankets. One of my duvet covers was literally over $300, but I have to tell you, even at that price, which for me is high, I am so happy with it. It is truly artisan fabric as was advertised and was made in Italy. I also bought a linen duvet cover and it is soft and the perfect weight. Honestly, every single piece I received I absolutely love (although in hindsight I would have picked a lighter color for the linen, but that's just personal preference). I'm sure they'd allow me to swap it, but I don't like things to go to waste.

    The quality of the items is superb, truly. So I just wanted to say that. Each and every item I purchased I seriously love. A+ for the customer service, and A+ for the products!!! I feel really special with this beautiful bedding. Only problem is I now have too much and can't use it all at the same time. They get products from all over the world, I believe, such as this special Italian jacquard duvet cover, so sometimes, you are going to run into a problem, but like I said they went above and beyond to make it right. I was very sad that the fabric on the velvet duvet cover I had was too loosely woven because the rich trendy "graphite" color was gorgeous. Anyway, I just had to write a review somewhere because I love my stuff I got so much! Italian jacquard duvet cover, linen duvet cover and shams, down blanket, faux fur throw, velvet herringbone coverlet, plush blanket.

They assured me someone would call in 1-2 weeks with a new delivery date. As of today, I have not received the furniture I paid for about 2 months ago. I would expect better service and product from this high-end store. It was my first experience with them and I will never go back. Such an inconvenience for buying furniture. I've had better service and delivery from low-end places. Good luck if you choose to buy anything from RH. Total disappointment.

    We purchased a pair of "high quality" standing swing-arm floor lamps based on marketing representations and the appearance of quality. $716.00 for two. Both arrived defective: the base was loosely attached to the standing part (pole), flimsy and wobbly. Careful inspection and an attempt to simply screw the pole to the base failed: the gap was so loose on one lamp - an inch of separation - that we could see the machine screw and nut assembly inside, but things were not properly attached. How embarrassing and shameful that RH would not inspect items prior to shipment. One bad item could be happily exchanged if the other were as-represented and of good quality. Now we endure repackaging, return shipment, and waiting 3 weeks for return and refund to be completed. Ugh.

    I purchased curtains from the RH website. After placing a call to customer service and specifically asking whether I could return the curtains to a store if they were the wrong color, I was assured that I could. Knowing this, I placed my curtain order. Curtain orders from RH incur enormous shipping charges of $75. The reason ordering curtains from RH is difficult, is that a customer is not able to view the actual curtains in any RH store. I was told that I could view color swatches for the curtains at the store in Boston but when I went to look, they did not have any swatches for the curtains I was considering buying (striped Thai silk). Not having been able to see the actual curtain or the curtain swatch, I gambled, paid $75, and ordered the curtains.

    Once they arrived, they were not the right color. At this point, I contacted customer service to order a different color and I mentioned I would be returning the original curtains to the store in Boston. Customer service now told me that the stores actually DO NOT like to take returns and that if I returned the curtains to the store, it could be months before I received a credit. My other choice was to return the curtains and pay another $75 in shipping.

    Since I was planning on exchanging the curtains and buying another color, I asked RH if they would courtesy ship the new curtains, as some merchants do, and was told NO, that I would have to pay another $75 for the new shipment of curtains. At this point, RH was asking me to pay $225 in total shipping charges. My purchasing process at RH has not been at all customer friendly. This is especially frustrating because I tried to establish BEFORE placing my order how much the curtain purchase would cost, including shipping.

    RH has nice ready-made curtains but I urge anyone interested in them, to google ready-made curtains and check out other vendors before placing any order with RH. West Elm, Pottery Barn, Bed Bath and Beyond and online retailers all have ready-made curtains and drapes worth looking at. BEWARE of RH's VERY HIGH shipping charges and EXTREMELY POOR customer service BEFORE doing business with them.

    It seems most people only post their "negative" reviews. So I decided to post my "positive" review with RH. We do not have a store here in the Vegas area yet (I hear it's coming). Therefore, we visited the stores while in New York and L.A. last year. The service in the New York city store was exceptional. The service in the L.A. (Melrose) store was a little lacking. Anyway, I ordered the Lasalle Media Console, coffee table, and a sofa. I ordered the items at different times via online and using customer service. I have received my Media Console as scheduled. It is absolutely beautiful, very well made, and in perfect condition. The "white glove" delivery service was exceptional. I am very satisfied so far. I am so looking forward to the opening of our Vegas store - whoohoo!!!
