Hi guys,
I've been looking for some good furniture online. More specifically, oak furniture. The reason for this is because I want furniture that will last me a long time. A one time fairly large payment which will last me years to come sounds more attractive than having to replace furniture every year or two because it was made from cheap material and broke. And believe me with clumsy children like mine that can easily happen! I still love them though :D..Anyway...I have two retailers in mind which are
1) Oak Furniture King
2) Oak Furniture Land
I would like to know, has anyone purchased from any of these companies before? If so, was the transaction and the overall process smooth or was it problematic???It would be great if anyone could help me out...
Cheers,
Ammaar!
Both are sham companies that I would stay far far away from. Hopefully others looking into these companies in the future will read this warning and avoid doing any business with them. I would go so far as to recommend that they advise all their families, friends, and pets to stay away as well.
Hi,
Apologies if I wasn't clear enough, but I'm looking for some kind of reasoning behind the answers, not just "oh well they're a sham company and and so are they because I said so". Have you actually had any bad experiences with any of them?
I'll give you a few more details so you know what I'm looking for. I already know that Oak Furniture will last me a long time so what really matters to me are 3 things;
1) Customer Service throughout the transaction
2) After Sales Support
3) Good delivery
I see Oak furniture Land provide a finance option, but I see a lot of bad reviews about them circulating on the internet (they even have their own facebook hate page which I just found which has almost 500 followers)
Oak Furniture King don't do a finance option however their reviews seem a lot better and so they're now looking like a more attractive option.
I've also now heard about Oak Furniture Solutions...Any chance you've had a run in with them before?
Ah, Crazy Eddy! I was a student in NYC back in those days. Good times.
To the OP--I don't know anything aout those two companies. This isn't the right place to be asking anyway---this is a forum dedicated to design of the 1950s and 1960s, not new furniture.
That said, I'll just say that furniture doesn't last forever simply because it's made of oak. It has to be designed well and constructed properly. Case in point: my parents bought a dining table and chairs and bunk beds made of solid, heavy oak back when I was very little and I never remember any of it not being wobbly to the point of nearly falling apart. The joints worked loose and could not be made to stay tight no matter how many times they were reglued and clamped.
I would stay far away from any company offering cheap prices on tons of furniture if my goal was to make a single lifetime investment.
Apologies if I'm on the wrong forum guys.
To Spanky, I guess you're right that no furniture will last you a lifetime. I just want it to last as long as possible and I think forking out a little bit of extra money is the way forward. I find the same thing with clothing, shoe shopping, electronics etc
Maybe I will just buy from Crazy Eddy...
