I am writing to report my experience with homedecorators.com. I bought a desk chair from them ca. 4 months ago, which fell apart about a week ago. They have refused any help or adjustment. If nothing else, my experience may serve as a warning to others!

Quoted below is an e-mail exchange that is pretty self-explanatory. Having spent $ 150 on a chair that fell apart a few days after the return period (90 days) ran out is annoying, but what really makes me mad is the blithe refusal to take any responsibility.

Claims to be waterproof, and it is not. Corners have started lifting after a few months. Chips on the plank, even in areas that have no traffic. Constant worry that it’s going to get worse.

My product came as a manufactured defect. In the beginning, i thought i did something wrong while building it but result to some damaged planks so i ask replacements. But still the problem doesnt resolve. The replacement came defect again. Your product is not a good quality, the wood damaged easily.

I purchased a desk from homedecorators.com and the desk parts were all scratched, the instructions were backwards (some) and some parts were mislabled. They supposedly order replacement parts but they have not come yet and it's been a month. I tried to post my rating on their website three days ago but it has not posted yet. I believe they monitor that so people are not informed. Here is my comment: "This was the third item purchased from Home Decorators. I was very disappointed. The first box arrived and all pieces were fine, looked great. I unpacked, check, and arranged them awaiting for the second shipment. Second box arrived the next day. Ever piece was scratched except the top. I was heart broken because I had such high hopes.

I called customer service. They were supposed to replace 4 of the scratched pieces. This was 11/25. Finally I got tired of waiting and rubbed Old English scratch cover. This worked. I put the desk together.

Several parts were mislabeled…if you are not a handy person, you would have a difficult time putting this piece together.

The tracks for the drawers were misaligned so the drawers went in crooked (especially the left drawer above the computer cabinet). I had to completely adjust the tracks in the left drawer. A few imperfections on the top. But I had to keep telling myself that it only cost $279 + shipping.

Considering the cost and the quality of wood (which I think is good) it is an ok buy. I believe they bank on customers not putting up with the hassle of returning such a huge item. As much as I wanted to return it, the thought of loosing my shipping cost and the cost I would have to pay to return ship. Heck, I was better of keeping it. I don’t want to feel that way about something I purchase.

I wanted to purchase the file cabinet but it will have to be really discounted before I purchase another thing from them. I told customer service about my trouble an they offered me $10 off my next purchase (what an insult).

They also sent me an email with a 10% off my next purchase but when I click through the banner I cannot get the 10% to work."

I hope my desk does not start to fall apart like I read above. If you cannot get anything resolved I suggest you contact the attorney general in your state.

Dear Home Decorators

I ordered city lights settee set before easter. It not only arrived way after the ruined celebrations but with the couch so damaged I had to return it. I called and requested an exchange for a second love seat instead of the couch - guess what , not only did a wrong item arrive several weeks late, but all busted- again I returned it. I am fearful to request another exchange (which may arrive before xmas) and would like to have my funds refunded.
