Difficult to determine a good review after one visit - but I know it's a good place. I've been going to these garden centers in the USA for years.

A man once said,"The glory of gardening:hands in the dirt and head in the sun, and heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul." I so do love gardening, especially when there is a moment to enjoy every bit of the sun. Tuincentrum Osdorp is a wonderful plant and flower shop to start a new garden or improve on your gardening skills. You will definitely find plenty of ideas for gardening in here.

Wat een enorme teleurstelling is dit geweest…read more Wij hebben voor ongeveer €15.000 een keuken gekocht bij IKEA. Je verwacht dan toch dat levering en installatie professioneel geregeld zijn. Helaas begon de ellende eigenlijk al vóór de levering. Verkeerd advies bij het bestellen, onderdelen die niet waren toegevoegd, dingen die later weer omgewisseld moesten worden. Oké, kan gebeuren -- dacht ik nog. Maar toen kwam de levering. Op de dag van levering hadden we vrij genomen. Bleek er geen lift geregeld te zijn (terwijl dat wél was afgesproken). De keuken kon niet naar boven. Ondertussen stonden onderdelen in het systeem als "geleverd" terwijl ze er helemaal niet waren. Daarna begon het eindeloze bellen en mailen. De installatie die 1 à 2 dagen zou duren, heeft uiteindelijk bijna vier maanden gesleept. Elke keer kwam de monteur en ontbrak er weer iets. We moesten zélf continu schakelen tussen IKEA en de montagepartner. Alsof wij projectmanager waren van onze eigen keuken. Wat mij nog het meest frustreert is de klantenservice. Er werd vaak gezegd: "We komen hierop terug", "Dit wordt opgepakt". Maar je moest overal zelf achteraan. En uiteindelijk werd het dossier gewoon gesloten, terwijl er helemaal geen oplossing was. Na al die maanden gedoe heb ik voorgesteld om het voor €500 af te ronden. Op een project van €15.000 lijkt me dat meer dan redelijk. Zelfs dat werd afgewezen en verdere communicatie werd stopgezet.

Based on own research on chatgpt, an error E1 normally is linked to water supply. Can't be the installation, cos the 1st month it worked just fine. Called Ikea to see what we can do, they said a technician can look at it, but of course it is a 3rd party, CE Repair Services. So far, disappointed company to work with. The earliest appointment was in 3 weeks after I 1st contacted them. The day arrived when the technician should come by, and in the morning of that same day, they cancelled my appointment. So I have to do a new one, this time in 2 and a half weeks. The overall experience with Ikea is quite poor. It is your device that's broken, you should be doing all the administration to get it fixed. Avoid Ikea, and if you can't, avoid this dishwasher.

It reminds me of a "Home Depot" or another huge big-box store in America. Not that there's anything…read morewrong with that, it's somewhat overwhelming here in Amsterdam. It's like getting a bushel or huge Blue Crabs but when breaking them open, not a lot of meat inside. Although a lot of inventory, it's not cheap but if you're shopping here, price is not your concern. Most of the plants outside don't have prices in front of you. "If you have to ask, you can't afford it", comes to mind. But I had to twirl the plant around to find the price tag on the base. I'm sure things are different these days thanks to Covid. They used to have a cafe and I'm sure tons more inventory....so I look forward to a few years from now when things hopefully return to normal and I can see this place in its full glory.
