I received a rocking chair as a gift that was order from this company! Initially, I thought it was the cutest little accessory for my son's room, and he enjoys sitting on it at story time. I had this chair for exactly two days, and the paint began to rub off on my son's skin, clothing, blankets, and diapers.
I contacted the giver of the gift, and was told that the chair cost $200 to be hand painted and it should not be bleeding paint. She contacted the company and was told that they have had this problem in the past with pastel colors, it never primary colors.
Pictures were sent, and this was their reply:
"Sorry for the late response. We have reviewed the photos you sent us and it does not appear that any paint has been removed from the chair. We have painted plenty of chairs with the same design and same color palette and that is exactly what they look like. Sometimes you can see through the paint a little bit like in the yellow part of the boat because it is painted onto a similar color. For future reference I want to make sure that your niece is aware of our hand painted instructions. We send a small instruction slip with each hand painted order but I will give you the instructions for the protection of the paint. We recommend that harsh chemicals are not used to clean the chair. You can use a damp or dry cloth to wipe it down occasionally. It is also important to note that sunblock, bath, and skincare such as lotion can affect the paint. I hope this helps!
We appreciate your business and thank you for your order.
Julie"
So in other words, never mind that we told you this happened before with pastels, never mind that you showed us the paint wiped off your child with an unscented, chemical free baby wipe... We aren't doing anything for you even though you have a defective $200 kids chair.
For the record... 1. The chair hasn't been cleaned yet, it's brand new. 2. NO harsh chemicals are used in my home or nursery. 3. My nursery furniture is only dusted with dry microfiber or Swifer cloths. 4. I don't put sunscreen on my child in the house. 5. If it was from "lotion", it wouldn't have been on his pajamas and blanket as well.
