My husband and I recently rented furniture from CasaOne to stage a home that we are selling. I liked the style of the furniture they had available and so we decided to give them a shot even though their rental prices weren't cheap compared to the cost for the actual items (I found the exact same pieces they're renting out at places like target, poly and bark, etc and felt the rental price vs the cost of the actual item was a little high). However, we decided it was still more convenient to rent rather than buy and have to resell or store it somewhere after.
The selection process and getting a quote for all the items I picked went smoothly. However, the first issue arose when I was told after I had already paid for everything that 2 of the end tables I was going to rent were damaged. I appreciate that they didn't send me a damaged item, however they didn't have any replacements of the same item and the only one similar to it cost more. I asked if they would be willing to honor the price for the original item I had requested since I had already paid for it, however they were unwilling to do so. It wasn't a huge deal, but I just felt it would have been good customer service to at least honor the price of the item I originally requested since they didn't have an exact replacement for it.
My biggest complaint however and the reason I'm leaving a 2 star review is due to the delivery of the furniture. I was told through several confirmation emails that my furniture would be arriving at 3pm on Jan 7. In none of the emails did it say that it would be arriving within a certain time window, instead their email stated that their team "loves being on time" and that if they were made to wait more than 15 minutes they would move on and a rescheduling fee would be charged. Therefore, I made it a point to be there before 3 to be ready.
By 3:30pm they still had not arrived and I had not heard from anyone yet. As I was trying to find a phone number to call, which I couldn't find on their website, I received a call from them saying that the delivery team was going to be delayed until roughly 5:30pm due to traffic and a delay with a previous customer that morning. I understand that traffic is not in their control, however in LA I do feel like they should have taken that into account when creating the delivery schedule and put in some extra buffer time. Also, I was very disappointed in their lack of communication with me regarding the delay. If I had heard from them earlier in the day, I could have adjusted my schedule accordingly. Instead, I had to wait there for 3 hours until they finally arrived at 6pm. Since this wasn't my own home, it was inconvenient for me to leave and come back as I don't live nearby.
Once their team arrived, they did a good job of quickly bringing in and assembling all the furniture, as they understood I had been waiting a while and was in a rush to leave. They were friendly and efficient, which I appreciate. However, I do feel because they were trying to get everything done quickly, they were a little less careful and ended up scuffing the newly painted walls when bringing boxes upstairs and didn't sweep up the floors as well as they could have.
Overall, I am disappointed with our experience with this company and am unlikely to use them again. read more
