Like many people, I've been working from home over the past year due to lockdown from COVID-19…read more Luckily I already had a desk at home, but my chair is from IKEA and not super comfortable. I finally decided to buy a professional office chair and Herman Miller is one of the top brands. Their Aeron chair is very popular because it is ergonomically designed and highly customizable. I was pretty sure that I wanted that chair, but the old fashioned part of me wanted to sit in one before purchasing online. I could only find one place in the Seattle area that sells new Herman Miller chairs and that is Design Within Reach. I was confused about the relationship, but Herman Miller owns Design Within Reach, so this is like their authorized showroom/retailer. I visited the store on a Sunday morning and I didn't have an appointment or anything. I went straight to the office chairs, but they also have a lot of other furniture (couches, tables, etc). The Aeron comes in three different sizes and they had one of each. A salesperson named Gary helped me and he was excellent. I already did a lot of research on this product and I could tell that Gary clearly knew his stuff. He did a great job of checking on me/answering my questions but he also gave me time and space to just sit and think about it. In the end, I'm really glad that I went to the store and had Gary help me place the order. I ended up making a couple of different decisions on the options than I would have otherwise. If you work for certain companies (Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, etc) you get a discount, so definitely ask about that. Otherwise I believe they have a 15% off sale twice a year. I received my chair about a week and a half after I ordered it. It is really a cool experience. They ship you a huge box, but you just need to open one side and then roll the chair out (it comes completely assembled)! I am happy with my purchase and I would recommend it to others.

The main reasons we ended up buying from Blu Dot were both the quality/great selection of the products and the genuine helpfulness of the manager and her co-workers. We found each of them to be very knowledgable about the products, while also extremely helpful and good natured; appreciating that it is a process of fine-tuning and decision making when purchasing furniture..we never felt pushed or under any pressure to hurry up. When it came time for delivery, the manager could not have been more helpful..she was very attentive to details and kept us fully informed. If we are in need of buying any additional furniture or accessories we would happily return to Blu Dot without hesitation.

He greeted us with a warm welcome, but left us alone to browse for a few minutes. He approached my wife and me after we had some time to look through options and commented that it seemed like we were looking for a dining table and coffee table. That casual comment let me know that he was perceptive and wanted to be helpful. It naturally opened up a conversation about our furniture choice, color scheme, and he got to understand what we were looking for. Kieran was friendly and not pushy, helping us visualize what different chairs would look like with one particular table, and informing us of our options and timelines for in-stock items. Thanks to his input, we were able to pick out a coffee table and side table that will look amazing in our new house. We look forward to getting his advice for picking out more furnishings in the future!

The experience left me frustrated for sure, but primarily just confused. I contacted multiple…read morefurniture makers and ended up choosing UR after visiting their location. I ordered a custom-made table (basic but sturdy design, literally just a tabletop on 4 posts) and paid for it in full on Aug 3 2020. The first red flag was unresponsive and slow communication. Here's what I emailed them regarding specs (this will be important later): 08/03/2020: "Can you give me a rough sketch of what the finished product would look like? I want to make sure there's no ambiguity or points of confusion. I included my own sketch attached. Please call me when you have a chance." 08/14/2020: "Hi, I've tried to reach you by phone a few times regarding the desk." The 4+ months that followed can only be described as an excruciatingly slow and painful process as I desperately tried to garner any tidbit of information they were willing to throw in my direction. I can't post the entire thread because of character limits but here's a sample of me emailing them: 09/07/2020: "Hi, any updates?" 09/17/2020: "Hi Patrick, I have not heard from you in several weeks now." 09/23/2020: "Hello Patrick, I would really appreciate an update from you." 10/05/2020: "Can you give me a firm date on when will this be ready? I placed the order back in early August and it has been two months now." 10/23/2020: "I have not received an update in more than two weeks. Can you give me a firm date of delivery or at the very least some sort of timeframe besides "soon"?" 12/08/2020: "When will this be done? When I visited two weeks ago you told me it should be done before Thanksgiving." 12/15/2020: "I'd like the table that I paid for in August please" UR had me visit twice, on Oct 24 and on Nov 11 to see the tabletop in person to talk about the color. In both instances, I insisted on a dark walnut stain. I emphasized the reasons why I requested it, emailed them samples of the color, supplied photographs, and even pointed at samples within UR's shop that matched what I was looking. The staff, for whatever reason, seemed extremely reluctant to apply any stain at all on the tabletop and would give only non-committal responses in the vein of "We'll see what we can do". Eventually, weeks later, they claim the table is ready for delivery and send me a photo where they have already applied a finish without applying a stain. I have no explanation for their behavior but at that point I got fed up with the endless delays and inexplicable stubbornness and decided to walk away and asked for a refund. UR refused and said my only avenue for redress would be small claims court (quote from them: "we will look for the paperwork"). When I pursued that, the owner resorted to juvenile insults, emailing me that I "suck ass" then eventually getting his attorney involved. To their credit, UR *did* soon after fix their error and applied the correct stain. I visited in person and the table looked great! I secured and paid for its delivery myself and spent several hours setting it up at its new location. It was only then that I found out two things: 1. The table was the wrong dimensions, and too short by 10%. 2. The table was not actually flat and curved inward (see picture). Returning the table at that point was the last thing I wanted to do after everything that transpired. UR claimed that I had approved the shorter dimensions but I have no record of that in any of our emails. Instead, what I do have is multiple instances of me trying to talk to them to nail down specifications but having a difficult time getting a response from them (see emails above). I was never given an explanation for why the tabletop surface was deformed but the flaw made the table functionally useless for its intended purpose. I fully understood that the pandemic has thrown many supply chains into chaos. It makes sense that materials and delivery would suffer delays; to be clear I'm not blaming UR for that. But the issue here is that over the course of several months it was extremely difficult to get a hold of them or get any concrete updates, and what I did end up with eventually was seriously deficient on multiple fronts. Even though I eventually did receive a refund (thanks to PayPal), time and money was wasted on delivery costs and unnecessary court filings on my end. I'm sure UR lost a lot of money as well! But that was a result of some very basic errors on their end and I don't understand why they'd let this happen to them. Hence my confusion.

We've dealt with Jeremy over the years. He's a great guy known my many in the local NW mod…read morefurniture scene but he has always been severely under capitalized. He started out in Ballard some years ago with a mod shop he operated with some family members but the high rents sent him packing to Portland. He operated a mod shop in downtown Portland under a new name (Janus Home) for awhile then when things got tough he packed up and moved back to Seattle likely leaving some past due rent bills behind. It seems his new Revolver Vintage Interior shop has fell under the same fate as his previous business ventures. Even though a good portion of his inventory was on consignment (which is easier on his pocket book) when things got tough even the consignors didn't get paid. The same went for his last few buyers on Ebay. They paid for their items but did not get their merchandise. (his seller ID: SKWM) Once again Jeremy's is a great guy and he finds some incredible stuff with his contacts but his cash flow has always been tight and unpredictable. It's tough to survive in the Seattle market with high rents so you really need to be better capitalized to succeed in this market place. He should get a full time job and just sell on the side and make efforts to repay some of his past clients and landlords that are owed money.
