In May we purchases over $8,000 of furniture including a custom dining room set, 2 king size mattresses sets, chair, ottoman, 2 chests and 3 night stands. Our sales person was fantastic and we thought we had a great shopping experience, boy were we wrong. The dining room set was custom so 4-6 weeks for delivery. As it was all on 1 order we could only receive 1 delivery or there would be an additional charge. We picked up the chair, a chest, and night stand so we did not need to wait so long. When we put the furniture together we could not get the bottom drawer of the chest to open. When we did finally get the drawer open the side rail had pulled right off the drawer box. When we looked at it the problem was easy to see, all the screws on the drawer glides and been put in on an angle and were catching in the slides. When I called and found out all that had to be done for service we just repaired it ourselves. The glide still is not correct and I have asked for it to be repaired, I was told by service I would be given a call back in a 1/2 hour and that was 4 weeks ago. When we received our delivery the dining room chairs did not have the nail heads. When the delivery team cross referenced the number on the chairs to my order the numbers were incorrect. So I received a beautiful table, but the chairs had to go back. I was told they would find out what went wrong and would give me a call. I did get a call in a couple of days and was told the store ordered wrong. They would determine if the chairs would be remade, or if the manufacturer would send the nail heads and their service department would correct the error. I received a call almost a week later and was told the nail heads would be shipped to the store and they would correct their error. It was almost 3 weeks after the deliver that I received another call inquiring where on the chairs the nail head should be placed. Really 3 weeks and this was the first time that I was asked. A few days later I received a call that they changed their mind and the chairs would be remade and it would be another 4-6 weeks. Really! 9 weeks with folding chairs around a custom made table, very attractive. I told them it was unacceptable that there was a 3 week delay before they decided to have the chairs remade. I asked that I be brought chairs to use until my chairs came in. I was told she would need to talk to a manager and they would be in contact with me. No call was ever received. 6 days later I called back and was given a manager. After going round and round with him for an hour on how this was not their error just an unfortunate situation I was told that they would not bring me any chairs to use unless I could guarantee that they would be in perfect / new condition when returned or I would need to purchase the chairs they brought me to use. Really, their error and should anything happen to chairs for us to use I would need to purchase them. I already gave them $8,000 8 weeks ago and in return have defective furniture, or no furniture! I also mentioned the bad drawer and never receiving a call back for service to look at. He told me he could take care of that right away. Well that was 1 1/2 weeks ago, and no contact from their service department to repair. The other chest and 2 nights stands had a painted white finish, let me tell you not what we saw in the store. The finish was so light in areas you could see the bare wood. When I told the manager that I would write a review about the bad customer service, lack of accepting ownership for their error in the order, and would be sure to share with my friends and co-workers, I was told "threats will get me no where". I was very kind and understanding when the chairs were wrong and allowed them to correct their error, but the fact that it was 3 weeks before they decided to order new chairs is ridiculous. Basically making in my fault, and an oh well, live with it attitude. So I still do not have chairs 4 weeks later only 3 to 5 more to go, and the folding chairs are growing on us. I just had my grandmothers funeral with relatives in town, and have been hosting summer parties and the folding chairs are a real conversation piece. Nobody even notices the expensive table, its all about the folding chairs, and wonderful Colder's customer service story to go with it that people will not soon forget. Piece of advise, before you spend $8,000 at Colder's go to a discount store, buy a folding table and chairs, and bedroom furniture from a box, quality will be better and it will only cost hundreds. There is a bright side to the story...when we have guests as we move from the dining room to the living room, where there is new beautiful, quality furniture from another store, there is a great story. It is really to bad that Colder's couldn't have been a good story because it was too much trouble to bring me chairs. Let's not forget the reminder each time the bad chest drawer gets opened. read more
