The rudest man I've ever done business with. He did a beautiful job stripping and restoring 2 toddler rocking chairs, gifts for family who had new babies.
It was at the beginning of COVID. I have an autoimmune disease and got more and more cautious as time went by. First time i met him no one had been vaccinated and he was not wearing a mask. I left the two rockers. They are about 3' tall, 2' wide, 2' deep. Small. He works out of his garage and showed me a room where he was holding finished furniture for people, some for over a year.
In a few weeks they called to say they were finished. I said great. I would come when I could as late ng as he'll wear a mask. His wife said he would.
Because of COVID fear, my own illness, the illness of a grandchild, he called me 3 months later yelling that I had to come get them they were taking up room. I asked how much and immediately sent him a check paid in full. And it wasn't inexpensive!
He yelled at me about leaving the the tiny chairs for 4 months and that he would not do another project I had for him because of that. Very mean tone.
I am 65 and am unaccustomed to bring spoken to so rudely. I am very polite.
I went to get the chairs. They were perfect. The only reason he got 2 stars.
Anyone who is so rude and mean to a customer who just paid him a lot of money for 2 chairs during a time when no one was doing much business, or anytime, is not someone I ever want to do business with again. I'll find someone else to do the work I can't do my self.
What an unpleasant experience! It has stuck with me ever since.
