I purchased 4 pieces of office furniture on March 19, 2026 and assembly service from Office Depot/Max in Columbia, TN. I am very happy with the purchase, but the assembly company, SPAR is another story. Marvin scheduled teh assembly with "German". Due to my schedule of attending 2 out of state funerals, the assembly was scheduled for April 2nd. That did not happen as "German" was a no-show. The date was rescheduled for April 7th. Michael showed up within the set time and was excellent and efficient. However, the hutch doors just weren't working as they should. No fault of Michael, but I think it was more a design flaw because everything he did should have fixed the problem. AJ, from Office Depot/Max got involved to try to resolve the problems. He and I had communications with Mark (management of SPAR) and he and I went through several phone calls to schedule someone to complete the job. AJ was very helpful and agreeable to swapping out the hutch I had for one on the show room floor (which worked properly) and now I was trying to coordinate someone to come out from SPAr to pick up the hutch from the store and deliver it to my home and replace it with the one I had that was not functioning correctly. I was told that this would happen "early to mid-afternoon" on April 20th. Well, about 4:30 pm that day I called and could not get anyone to respond, so I called AJ at the store and he again got involved to help me out. The hutch was finally swapped out only due to the willingness of AJ and Office Depot/Max to assist in accomplishing this. SPAR is horrible about communicating with the customer; Office Depot/Max is GREAT about communication. SPAR is NOT trustworthy - they schedule and don't perform or follow through, leaving the customer to nag them. Office Depot/Max is GREAT with being proactive for their customer! AJ and Office Depot/Max is excellent with customer service and very respectful of their customer! read more
