I purchased a desk with wall unit and when I picked it up and brought it home, I discovered many nicks and scratches. The sales person stated that a "quality check" of the furniture would be performed prior to pick up. I called the sales person and after the second attempt I was instructed to email customer service. I emailed pictures and described all the deformities. I recieved an email back basically stating to "describe the issues" even though I had already described and even emailed pictures. I then called the customer service department and spoke with Andrea. When I informed her I expected more from a desk that cost over $2, 000 she proceeded to tell me that her desk cost "double this" and that $2, 000 was not a lot of money. She proceeded to say that Sandy's Furniture was a "warehouse" and that they only store the furniture and don't make it or restore it there. She said I could come by and see another one and if it was okay I could exchange it. She also said she did not know where the damage occured as I had the desk for "a week." When I reminded her that I tried calling twice but could not get a hold of my sales person she stated "why would you call the sales person you need to contact customer service". I am not sure why she would assume I know this and I found her to be extremely rude and condescending. As we were on the way to the warehouse to view the other desk, we recieved a message from Rob at the warehouse stating that the other desk had been checked over and it was also damaged. When I informed Andrea, she stated the desk was now "repaired" as their "in house" repair man fixed it. When I infomed her that she previously told me (very rudely) that they were "soley a warehouse she changed her story and said there must be some "miscommunication" and that she as the "customer service manager" would never say this. Since the desk is very large and heavy I asked her if she could send the repair man to my home or arrange an exchange. She stated that since I picked up the furniture and did not pay the $89 delivery fee, she could not as they were a "business" and needed to make money. I can not even believe the unprofessionalism of this lady and this company. I will never shop there again and am not a satisfied customer to say the least. Also this lady seemed to have some sort of superiority complex as she kept pointing out she was the "customer service manager" and had furniture that cost a lot more. A few days after I posted this, I was contacted and a repair man was sent to my home to touch up the desk. Although it should not have come to me having to post this to get proper service, I appreciate the lady who called and the repair man were very nice and helpful.
