amazing work!!

**PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW AND FIND OUT WHY YOU MUST GO WITH BROKENPRESS!!** First, ill have to admit that my situation was unique. Not only did I need some VERY specific custom furniture, but I had freshly come off a horrible experience with another company that left me with an atrocious product. I was on high alert and needed real expertise and someone who could understand my vision and bring it to life. We also had the big challenge of matching existing cabinetry with cloth grill material. Needless to say Alex and his team took on this challenge head on, listened to all my needs, engineered some great ideas for removable panels and was able to match existing cabinetry as close as humanly possible. Even in the area of TV mounting (which initially had me concerned--its an 85" TV on a swivel mount) Alex was 100% correct. He managed to put together a massively sturdy cabinet--all without compromising any of the styling. Even my installer was impressed with how solid the cabinet work was. Take my advice and learn from my past mistakes---there's a HUGE difference between handyman carpenters and furniture experts like Alex. Get it done right the first time, hire Brokenpress.

Watch out, they added stuff to our bill without explanation and then we had trouble getting it…read moreresolved. I will never shop here again.

I had one of the worst customer service experiences at Steinhafels (Schaumburg/Norridge locations)…read more I purchased two chairs on a Sunday from Schaumburg store and scheduled delivery for the following Wednesday. On Monday, the very next day, I decided to cancel after finding a better option. I made multiple attempts to cancel beforehand -- I called the store, was redirected to customer service, spoke to Bill, who told me he was off today and was told I had to speak to my salesperson, who I couldn't reach as well. Since I couldn't get help over the phone, I drove to the Norridge store in person (closer to me). At that point, I was told it was "too late" because the chairs were already on a delivery truck -- nearly 48 hours before the scheduled delivery. I was also told I would be charged a $100 delivery fee for items I never received. Customer service representative named Nate (no last name given) was completely unhelpful and inflexible, repeating policy without any effort to resolve the situation or acknowledge the circumstances. Was very dismissive and didn't acknowledge the situation at all. After over an hour of frustration -- including calling my bank to initiate a dispute -- the manager in training (forgot his name) in the Norridge store was finally able to cancel the order without the fee. This proves the situation could have been handled properly from the start. After over an hour of frustration -- including calling my financing provider to initiate a dispute -- an assistant manager in the store was able to fully cancel the order without penalty. This review would have been one star, but I'm giving an extra star solely because of that effort, even though they still agreed with the policy itself. The lack of communication, rigid policies, and unwillingness to assist customers is unacceptable. I will not be shopping here again and would strongly caution others before making a purchase.

I went to this location looking for several specific items. I was welcomed and greeted by Brian H…read more He was very polite and most importantly gave me space to browse around. He was quickly available when I had option questions. He was very patient, showed us several options and gave us ideas for what we had in mind. He quoted all the items and showed us an estimate of the total. Added all the financing options which made it very hard not make the final purchase. There was only one item we could not find, a standup desk. We decided to check out one more place before making the final decision. Unfortunately, we found all the items we needed at that last location we visited. A stand up desk was a non-negotiable for us, which Bob's did not offer. The business is clean, restrooms are well kept. They offer refreshments and snacks. I thought that was very nice. The water was very appreciated after walking back and forth. Brian H. is a 5 star customer service representative.

I went on to purchase a mattress. First women to come up to me in the middle of my asking questions…read moreshe literally walked away to help someone else. I then found someone else who happened to be the store manager Rocco. Upon asking question about sizes of a foundation for mattress I was told there are only 2 sizes 2 inch and 5 inch. I wanted what was comparable to what I had and chose the 5 inch as he said those were the only 2 options. He even stated that he hasn't sold in awhile so wasn't sure about some things. After choosing what I want I stated I had a Bobs card and I would be paying with it. He then asked "do you have enough money on it" I was appalled. What kind of question to be asking, was I stereotyped. I then got mattress delivered, only to find out the mattress and foundation was was too high. I called to swap out foundation for the supposed 2 inch, only to find out I was sold a 9 inch, I was told by customer service only 2 sizes 5 and 9. Now how could a store manager not know what he sold me. So now I have to wait again to get the 5 inch The worst experience I've ever had. Will never go back to this store. What an unacceptable response So disappointed

This is my favorite location, due to convenience, but when I'm on Ohio, hanging out by Eataly,…read moregoing to that location is cool too and their Outlet in Oak Brook offers awesome deals on floor samples. As for this Skokie location, it's great with its big parking lot and proximity to Old Orchard mall. The service is very friendly and top notch. We are very interested in their chairs and this store will be our first choice, should we need to replace anything. Their furniture is made in the USA and it's modern, functional, comfy, and built to last. I just love everything that they offer.

Purchased an outdoor sofa from Room and Board several years ago. I noticed the sunbrella fabric…read morestarted to wear and develop holes. I reached out asking if they offer a repair service. Being a B-Corporation I assumed they could give me tips or tricks. They told me I was completely out of luck. The CEO, Bruce Champeau, emailed me directly and told me they don't offer "repair kits" and I shouldn't expect to get a refund of replacement. I was really offended by this. I wasn't asking for a refund if replacement. If I'm spending close to $1,500 dollars on a 61" outdoor loveseat it should last more than just a few years and if they really stood behind the quality of their product they should be able to offer solutions to prolong the life of the product. I feel their poor commitment to quality and even worse behavior by their customer service and CEO will warrant me never returning to this brand in any capacity ever again. I've reported the CEO's Email to the B-Corporation customer complaint site.
