Lying salespeople - beware
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 1 votes
Company information:
Art Van
Howell, Michigan
United States

After selecting a bunk bed set for my two daughters, the sales person tells my wife and I that for an additional $50 we can have the set sitting next to the one we had picked. It included an under-bed set of drawers. She specifically told us that it came with the drawers. So we paid the additional money. When I picked up the bed I was a little concerned that it came in three fairly small boxes. So I went back into the store and had the store manager AND the sales rep reconfirm that I had the drawers. Of course, after getting the set home and unpacking it all I realize that there is no drawer set. So my wife and I were lied to by the sales rep and I was lied to again by the sales rep and the manager. This is a bait and switch and I'm pursuing a refund. Needless to say, I have two very disappointed daughters.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU DEAL WITH ART VAN. THE SALES REPS ARE ON COMMISSION AND THEY WILL APPARENTLY DO ANYTHING TO GET YOU TO SPEND MORE MONEY WITH THEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE SALES REP AND THE MANAGER REPEATEDLY LIED TO US.

If we receive a satisfactory resolution to this I will update this complaint, but I'm not holding my breath.

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised. The Art Van manager made good on the promised item and actually apologized for the misunderstanding. The sales rep was new and mis-read the product information when she promised the under-bed drawers. The item *should* have been a $100 add-on but they gave it to us because of the sales rep's promise. They could have denied any obligation because we didn't have anything in writing, but they lived up to the sales rep's word. I'M IMPRESSED AND WILL VERY LIKELY RETURN TO ART VAN FOR ADDITIONAL PURCHASES AND TELL OTHERS ABOUT THEIR QUICK ACTION TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

Art Van is full of ____!!! I bought a $1800.00 mattress on sale for 50% off, with promises and so on. Long story short, it was not even a FIRM matress which the Livonia Sales clerk told me it was, NEXT DAY DELIVERY, "not when there is a sale, WE are too busy", found out that their SATISFACTION GUARANTEE is only good for 30 days (when I took them to small claims court), and the 15 year warranty on the mattress, well mine was measured and found to be very defective, but they claim it had a stain on it...there was no stain. When trying to get them to replace it due to increasing back problems from sleeping on it (I am 49), the general manager in corporate said there is no such thing as firm and laughed in my face, when I told them I can't even sit on the side of it without slipping off, more than 3 supervisors told me "beds are not made to sit on" and "sitting on a mattress anymore than 30 seconds is considered excessive", well... I tried to file with Better Business Bureau, they refused to accept the report saying it was stained!!! That is the issue..it is NOT!!! Sone one told me now that if they are a member of BBB, BBB never accepts a complaint from one of their paying BBB members...could that be why there were no records of any complaints for any Art Van. Also in small claims court, I was not even able to tell the whole story, Art Van stopped me and showed the judge warranty that I never ever saw and the case was dismissed. MICHIGANS MATTRESS LEADERS, what a laugh!!
