Anywhere else I paid with big bills the person just passed a marker on the bill, checked it in the light and that was it. Not here ... it was like they have never seen one before. 3 employees looked at it for minutes and decided to call the manager to check it. After an embarrassing 15 minutes of waiting in line for the manager to come, he finally decided to show up, took a marker and passed it on the bill and what a wonder: it's a good one. I asked him if he was the only one qualified to pass a marker on the 100$ bill to check it and he said yes, "only management" can do it. Well, I guess he is very proud of himself, the test he had to pass to be "qualified" for this operation must have been veeeeery difficult! Hold on tight on that marker Mr. Manager, you are so qualified to do it! As for me, I guess that was the last time I am going to Winners in Fairview!

Terrible Quality and Service - Avoid Décor-Rest and JC Perreault…read more This has been one of the most disappointing and frustrating purchases I've ever made. I ordered three custom sofas from JC Perreault, manufactured by Décor-Rest, expecting high quality and durability. What I received was anything but. After waiting six months for delivery, one of the sofas started to fail within another six months--springs were literally coming out of the seat. It took over a month for anyone to come and fix it. Fast forward eight months, and the same sofa broke again in the exact same way. This furniture is in the home of an elderly woman, with no children, no pets, and very light use. If a sofa can't survive in that environment, I can only imagine how quickly it would fall apart in a home with young children or animals. It's not only disappointing--it's dangerous. The fact that this happened twice with the same piece shows a clear failure in Décor-Rest's quality control, and JC Perreault's after-sales service was slow and unhelpful. They were quick to take our money but nowhere near as responsive when things went wrong. A sofa of this price and brand reputation should last for years--not fall apart twice within less than two. This is not an isolated issue; it's a warning sign. I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing from either of these companies. Buyer beware: you're on your own once they deliver.

Review of The Brick Kirkland - Frustrating Experience with store and Customer Service…read more Normally, I don't write negative reviews, but this experience tested every limit of patience. Here's our story: Purchase and Initial Issues: In August 2024, we bought bedroom furniture from The Brick Kirkland for about $6,000, assisted by Mr. ABC. We initially hesitated to pay but were reassured we could make a small payment upfront and pay the rest later. After receiving multiple calls, I finalized the purchase two days later. The furniture arrived on August 14, and we noticed minor wear, reported it, and received a small store credit we never used. After just a week, the bed's support structure began making cracking sounds while we slept. I reported this to customer support on August 22, and they provided an event ID, asked for photos, and said a technician would visit. Frustrating Runaround: Over the next several days, I tried reaching support via chat since the phone lines were always busy. I was eventually directed to their furniture support partner, BRS, but couldn't get a response from them either. Finally, BRS scheduled a technician for September 10. In the meantime, we had no choice but to sleep on the floor, expecting a quick fix. The technician arrived, took more photos (which I had already provided), and removed the broken part, saying they'd file a report. No repairs were made, and it felt like a waste of time. We kept following up and were repeatedly told that the part was ordered and would arrive soon. Weeks of Waiting and Broken Promises: Each follow-up brought a new deadline. By late September, support said it would be delivered by October 1. When it wasn't, I reached out again. Mr. XYZ, a store manager, said they were treating it as a priority, but attempts to reach the warranty department were fruitless, and calls went unreturned. By Thanksgiving week, we were told again that the part was "on its way" and would arrive soon. I asked if this would stretch to November, and I was assured it wouldn't. On October 22, after another missed deadline, I emailed Mr. XYZ, who replied that their policy only covered repairs, not replacements or refunds. Final Update - No Resolution: A visit to the store on October 27 revealed that only part of the needed piece had arrived from the manufacturer, with no estimated arrival for the rest. It's now November, and my child and I are still sleeping on a mattress on the floor. If The Brick had truly intended to resolve the issue, instead of dragging us through endless delays and telling us about parts "on the way," they could have simply provided the needed part from another bed in the store. This wasn't an antique bed, just a standard piece of furniture. But they chose not to act. Their failure to take this simple action further proved their lack of intention to solve the problem, leaving us with no resolution and continuing to sleep on the floor. Why We Refuse Store Credit: After months of delay, we have no trust in The Brick. Accepting store credit would force us to buy more items from a company that has consistently failed us. Store credit would mean fixing the bed ourselves, adding costs on top of what we've already paid, and potentially buying another bed with the same flawed structure. We asked for a full repair or refund and now the apology letter from the store for mishandling of this case. Store credit is simply not a reasonable option. After countless calls, emails, and visits, we are exhausted. Our only goal now is to raise awareness so others won't face a similar experience. We hope The Brick Kirkland will do better in treating its customers with accountability and respect. PS: We were never told about the bad reviews / customer complaint about this bed , now when we are in investigation mode , seeing we are not the only one had issue with this bad , not not sure what happened to the other customer

I was denied a refund on a Washer/Dryer Riser because it was considered to be an unsealed package, even though their own employee cut the two packing straps. The box was not glued or taped, but simply held closed with the two white straps. The return policy does not apply in this case. When I picked up the item, it was secured with two white packing straps. The Brick employee cut these straps to allow me to verify the color. Although the box was never taped or sealed, it was considered an open package when I attempted to return it, and my refund request was denied. I find this policy outrageous, especially since the employee did not mention the return policy. To make things worse the supervisor Dev sat in his office literally 50 feet from me and the returns desk, refused to talk to me stating he was busy eating his lunch. Their Return Policy If your product is still in its original sealed packaging, with the exception of As-Is products, special orders (MTO), or sleep accessories, we will return it for a full reselection credit or refund within 7 days of the original delivery or pickup. Once the product packaging has been removed or the product is in an open condition, with exceptions for mattresses/boxsprings and home décor accessories, we cannot offer refunds or reselections.

I can't say enough great things about Antiquités du Village - and the beautiful pieces that Tim has custom built for me. I first came to see Tim to build me my first dinner table. He made a gorgeous farmhouse dinner table. The craftsmanship was just beautiful - and it was a fraction of the retail price found in big box stores! I went back several times afterwards to have a myriad of pieces done - from kitchen stools (which were EXACTLY what I wanted), to a unique corner vintage door turned shelf, to a shoe storage unit, to a custom kitchen island, wall-mounted custom coat rack, entrance bench and storage, and a beautiful trunk. Let's just say I wasn't a one-time customer and none of the beautiful pieces I had done were flukes :) I miss Tim and his shop dearly - having now moved to Toronto.
