Well, unfortunately it seems as many others have had a negative experience with City Furniture. After many calls to the 2 local stores (with no replies) I called the headquarters to voice my complaint. I was assured the store manager would call me back - and he did. Here's what he offered -- I could put the money paid for the designer towards a purchase -- no return of my wasted money. As for the designer's suggestions, here are the exact quotes from the expert service I paid for --- "For the Dining Room, add large candle hurricanes with a simple floral design in the middle. Could be simple twigs or a floral made up of mostly greenery"; "Add an 8 x 10 area rug under the table"; "Add an 8 x 10 area Rug to create a furniture grouping in the Living Room" and "Add decorative urns/ finals to the Coffee table with a couple of books (ex. Travel) or Magazines on Home Decorating. Three items are best. And, add a lamp with a couple of containers that are decorative or just a simple greenery to end table." But the best of all is for the counter with stools -- " Add placemats with decorative plates and napkins on the bar in front of the barstools. "
So, folks, if you were thinking of paying for City Furniture designer services I can save you money -- merely buy an area rug, put placements on the counter with plates and napkins, and don't forget greenery or 3 decorating magazines on the coffee table. Anyone want to pay me hundreds of dollars for such sophisticated advice????? If so, maybe I'll even suggest that you place the furniture on the floor with an area rug and you should put the paintings on the walls!!!! This is just unbelievable. Because of the time wasted with the City Furniture nonsense - I will NOT have furniture for the Christmas holidays when my family visits our brand new home. PLEASE DO NOT BE TAKEN FOR FOOLS THE WAY WE WERE.
