Contemporaryfurniturewarehouse Avis 

I ordered a sideboard from this company. When I opened the box it was very poorly packaged with minimal padding and the sideboard had large chips, dents, scratches and other significant damage.

I immediately sent them photos of all the damage to try and get the return process started asap... they strung it out for two weeks, continually saying "We are still working on the resolution to your claim" (no they weren't). Until finally they told me that all they could offer me was a 50% refund since the damages were not noted on the delivery paperwork, so they could not send a replacement or accept the return.

Apparently I was supposed to make the delivery guy wait with me while I unboxed this thing and inspected it.. I legitimately did not know this was a policy. It certainly wasn't made clear to me...

Rather than acting like genuine, understanding human beings and recognizing that their customer received a badly damaged piece of furniture that they DO NOT want to put in their house, they chose to hide behind "company policies" instead, so that they could keep $632.49 of my money.

I'm in the process of disputing the charge through my credit card company, but just know before you order from these guys, if something goes wrong, helping you out is NOT going to be a priority. Their bottom line is getting your money, not ensuring you get a good product or have a good customer experience.

Please spend your money elsewhere and support a retailer who ACTUALLY CARES about their customers.

Stay away and avoid the hassel. I ordered a modern extendable coffee table. The experience was great. Shipped within two days and arrived in one week. But it went downhill from there after I saw the item was extremely beaten when arrived. The package was beaten and items were missing. I have a feeling they just sent me an item was returned from someone else. Anyway, I contacted them right away and was told to submit a claim online with photos, which I did. Then I received email confirming my claim and told me to wait 2-3 days for an update. I waited for 5 days and called and email 3/4 times. Never got an useful response other than we don't know why it is taking longer but we will notify you once we have an update. I don't need updates, I need results. In the meantime, I have store a damaged table in my apartment because claims department can't process it. I would say stay away from it unless you are prepared to deal with very time consuming claims process if product is damaged. My suggestion is overstock.com or Amazon. You might pay a little more, but save the hassle should something go wrong.
