Nightmare to work with. Ordered a chair from them instead of going directly to manufacturer. Chair I bought has a 10 year warranty via Office Chair at Work. It has a lifetime warranty if I bought directly from manufacturer. Took forever for my chair to arrive. About 2 months, had the same issue that many others did where tracking info was sitting at "preparing to ship" for a long time. I wasn't too worried about that and was patient. Chair arrived in good condition, though it was partially assembled, leaving me to believe it was a used/refurbished chair. A couple months after receiving the chair one of the arms had the covering start to flake off, exposing the foam padding underneath. This is obviously a manufacture defect, as the other arm is perfectly fine. I have attempted to contact them 3 different times now. I have yet to receive a response. Most of the chair is good, I just want a replacement arm per manufacturer AND office chair at work warranties. read more

"Management" responded to my post as unprofessionally as they are crooked. "David R." claimed I'm not a customer. Funny since I'm the one with the online purchase receipt, credit card statement payment confirmation, email exchanges demanding information and eventually a fully pre-paid return label, let alone the full refund. It's a shame this fraudulent company hasn't been shut down completely!! DO NOT SHOP WITH THIS COMPANY!!! read more

Tl;dr: unless you are willing to keep the chair no matter what without ever considering a return, don't buy a chair from here. I bought a Hawthorn Fern chair from Office Chair @ Work in late May. Upon arrival, the chair had a missing wheel. Contacted their customer support and they were willing to send additional wheels. It was all fine here. However, it all went downhill from here. I decided to return the chair, because the style didn't fit well with the rest of my office. Before I made the purchase, I made sure that they provide free returns, including the returning shipping fee. I checked USPS/FedEx/UPS, and the cheapest shipping costs $300. I asked the customer service if they have resources/recommendations to cheaper shipping options. No. I asked again - my shipping fee will cost a lot; are they sure they will cover it 100%? And the answer was positive. So I proceeded with the return process. Shipped my chair back, and emailed customer support with my order number, and a receipt of shipping fee. And - you guessed it - they only refunded the cost of chair. I tried to reach out a few times wrt the shipping cost, but they never responded. Lesson of the day: look up a company's Yelp reviews before making any purchase :) read more

Never trust this seller. I paid for a chair and ask for refund they never gave back. They respond quickly, but they have no interest in honoring the order. They are scum of the earth. I will never put negative review and score of 1 star, but I have to state my mind about this business. I paid through Paypal and win the dispute, never got money back from the company or Paypal. If something does not sound and price is too good, its probably dealing with some crappy company like this one., read more

I bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair from this company because I liked the reviews left by buyers, but now I suspect they were fabricated reviews. My experience with this company is really bad. 1) I purchased the chair on December 18, 2022, and received the chair on March 4, 2023. For two months, the delivery status of the item had been "Preparing shipping" without any update. I inquired twice about shipping to the customer service, but it was not helpful. 2) The chair (that I paid $899 and I have waited for more than two months) is not a new item! I am sure that it's used or refurbished. When I wiped it, it was very dirty, and there were traces and small scratches from use. I want to protest and get an exchange, but I cannot expect good customer service from this company because I've already had a bad experience with it. (And today I read many reviews that share bad experiences regarding cancelation and refund issue) I will never buy anything from this company again. I would like to advise you- Just don't buy anything from this company. read more

Bought a Steelcase Leap V2 a couple months ago, and today I noticed the back has completely come apart - they stapled the fabric to the foam with normal staples! (you know, the ones you'd use on paper). *As you see from the manager's response below, he turns the blame onto the customer. The arms don't even reach the top of the table, so how would I be pulling the chair out with force? - the chair is also on wheels... Poor excuse for poor craftsmanship. They won't return emails, they'll ignore you in the hopes that you'll just give up. Seriously the worst purchase and (lack of) customer service of my life. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! If i could give this company zero starts I would. They shouldn't even be in business. I knew what I was getting in to when I was purchasing a refurbished chair, but the customer service and quality of the chair have been so incredibly horrible. I wish more than anything I could go back in time and buy from someone else. First, the chair took two months to be delivered, when they promised it within 2 weeks. I had to email multiple times to get them to even tell me it shipped. Once I received it, I thought maybe I was in the clear, but within a month the chair is completely falling apart. When I emailed customer service about the issues, they told me to buy a stapler at the store and staple it back together! This is far from the money back guarantee and warrantees they promise on their site. I am so disappointed in this customer service. I wish more than anything I could just get my money back and never deal with them again. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! read more

I would give zero stars. This company is a fraud. I just submitted a report to the BBB. I originally submitted to the NJ BBB but it was transferred to the NY one. I highly recommend you do that same since it is the only way to hold this company accountable for their actions. If we want the world to be better, we have to advocate for ourselves and not let this kind of behavior just go. Here is the BBB contact info. Better Business Bureau Serving Metropolitan New York 30 East 33rd Street New York, NY 10016 complaints@newyork.bbb.org (212)533-7500 They advertise as a used furniture store with good quality. This is wonderful in a world where a circular economy helps us with climate challenges. Gently used furniture helps avoid landfills and helps give a consumer a discount. Win win for all. The Knoll office chair I ordered arrived in a box that had ripped and the chair parts were jostling around in the box. It cost $449. But I was willing to be open minded and I opened it and put it together. I immediately discovered that the base had essentially been spray painted to cover up major damage because when I put it together the spray paint rubbed off all over my hands and clothes. The wheels of the chair are squeaky and very beat up. But, the Knoll chairs are amazing. I immediately sent an email to their customer service on that same day asked for a replacement chair since I still wanted the chair, just not one that was as beat up as the one I received. So, I sent the request in using the instructions provided on their website, and went on with my day. I never heard back. Then a few weeks later, I got up from my chair and the seat came right off and left a sharp screw exposed which snagged my pants and stabbed my leg. At this point, I wanted the refund versus a replacement. I then contacted them again (called the number and submitted a form on their website). On their website, it says the purchase is money back guarantee. It also says free returns. It is right on the top of their website. I still didn't hear back. So, yesterday, I submitted a complaint to the BBB. Today, I received an email from office chair at work saying that they had been trying to reach me for weeks and I didn't respond. There is no email from them in my inbox nor spam. We then went back and forth on email using 2 other email addresses (my work email and another personal email that I have) since they said my yahoo email did not work. Hi. If you want to return you have to pack the chair in the box it came in and email a photo of it. Or if you like a 30% refund. It has been almost 3 weeks. The original box is gone at this point since I put the chair together the day it arrived. It was a huge ripped box and I put it out with my my recycle bin. Why would I save it? The emails are written in poor grammar and with mistakes. What do they mean by "or if you like a 30% refund"? There is no person to speak with. When you call the number on the website, it simply says to send an email. This is the signature line of the person who has been emailing with me today. Evelyn Kinsley Customer Care Team Office Chair @ Work 1.800.685.3235 https://officechairatwork.com Since I don't have a box anymore, I would have to drop it off at the location. This is her email: "The receiving is open from 11 to 4. Please come Tuesday from 11 to 4 to return. Jan is the manager. 1109 Virginia St suite d Elizabeth, NJ 07201, USA" So they want me to drive to NJ between 11-4p next week on Tuesday in order to get the refund? DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. It would be 1 thing if they said that their chairs are very used, perhaps damaged, but priced accordingly. You get what you pay for, so that would be fine and informed as a consumer. But, that is not what they say and they have policies for full money back guarantee and refunds. Go to TrustPilot and other review sites to read all of the bad reviews. We really need to do something to help consumers. read more

As you'll see from the many other 1-star reviews here I'm not alone in my low rating of Office Chair At Work. If there were minus stars I would have given them minus 10 stars. This is a deceptive organization that hides the facts on their website. First of all you have to know where to click to find out if a chair is new or used when it should be obvious. Their website shows "Free Returns" and "Money Back" guarantee prominently on their homepage, but that is far from the truth. I ordered a Herman Miller Aeron chair assuming it was new because I couldn't find anything stating it was used and restored. Soon after I placed the order when I realized the chair was not new I asked to have my order cancelled. The chair hadn't shipped yet, but they refunded my purchase price minus $61.90. Oh, and BTW, when I questioned them on this practice of shorting a refund, they responded with a link to their well hidden refund policy. Don't bother doing business with this company. They are deceptive in their presentation and their business practices. read more

How I wish I had checked the reviews before paying $999 for a chair I never received. I just cancathe order and am about to file a dispute with my bank. The customer service aka Evelyn is obviously a fraud. They respond but it doesn't solve your problem. Probably some cheap call center labor in the Philippines. All I want at this point is to get my money back. Wish me luck. I'm surprised that their web site is still operating after all the complaints and fraud reports. STAY AWAY from this merchant!!! Update 10 hours after my original post I received an email from "Evelyn" saying the chair has shipped and asking me if I wanted to process return and refund. Guess what: I checked the UPS tracker and the chair has not been shipped. Lie after lie after lie. And David, on top of running a fraudulent business you dare to reply to me in the tone that you used? Yeah, 22 years of cheating people out of their money is your successful business. read more

Fair warning to my business associates about Office Chair @ work. This is a company whose ethics are in the gutter. I placed an order, cancelled it within 2 minutes, got charged the full amount, it took them 2 months to refund the money (after being asked by me) and they charged me a 10% cancellation fee. For an order that was placed for literally 2 minutes. This is next-level terrible business practices. read more

I ordered a chair a month ago on 4/16 and the chair has not yet shipped till now. They shared the tracking number but it always shows that UPS has not received the package. The two stars gave to the lady who responded my emails promptly but every time the answer I got was that my order is scheduled for "this week". Also the website tried to educate their customers that it is a long process to assemble each chair. However, they do offer a quicker processing option which can ship the order within 2-3 business days with extra charge. So I'm wondering why my chair has not shipped after 21 business days (30 calendar days) if they have a way to speed up the process and ship some chairs within 2-3 business days. Hope I will get my chair soon. I was planning to order one more if this one works out but now I regret not reading the reviews online before I made the purchase. read more

3 stars because the chair is good the customer "service" is not good.. I ordered this chair for one of our staff members, even though it was $399.00 witch was mone than I wanted to spend but got it because I figured it would last longer. After waiting almost 6 weeks for the chair to arrive it came damaged! When I contacted them about it and asked if they could replace it with a none damaged none used chair i was informed it wasn't a $399.00 chair it was a $999.00 chair, the $399 was a refurbished chair and if id like they can send me a replacement cushion for the back. So June 22nd 2020 I asked them to send it. On July 23rd I emailed again asking when it would arrive. I was not responded to very nicely intact it was rude. She told me I never emailed her and I need to read the email chain. I responded with a screen shot of me asking for the replacement part a month ago. read more

Just what I needed August 14th, 2022 Several months ago, I needed an office chair, since the one that I had was affecting my back and not in a good way. I came across Office Chair@ Work, and they had used Eames Side Chairs at a price that I could afford. I ordered it and was happy, looking forward to my purchase. Then, I read a lot of negative reviews about the company. Scared me to death! I wasn't sure what I would get, or if I would get anything at all for my money. I shouldn't have spent that energy worrying! Fortunately, I had a great experience. My communications were answered promptly. My chair arrived within the window where it was promised. The packaging was fantastic. It was as expected-used, but in good condition. Even several months later, I am very satisfied. I think that folks who have complaints don't read the company's terms of service closely. This company has very explicit terms of service, and you need to read and understand them.

I bought a "refurbished" Steelcase office chair from this disreputable company. The claim was it was "like new condition". Paid $425 to get a comfy office chair for hubby with bad back. We are seniors on fixed income. I do not have the money to throw away. The hydraulics do not work. Chair will not raise or lower. Rusted bottom seat. Broken piece of tubular plastic I don't know what it was for. No instructions. AND A WELL HIDDEN CLAUSE in an obscure link that says no REFUND if you have it longer than 24 hrs??? I managed to shoot off an email to them within 24 hours. Let's see how that goes. Contacted credit card company to start a dispute based on fraud. BUYER BEWARE!!! read more

Bought a Herman Miller Aeron Chair from this place for $699. The website is plastered with sayings like: Money Back Guarantee Free Shipping Free Returns We'll Beat Any Price Full Warranty..... Well, as many others here have noted that's not the real truth of things. Once I assembled the chair I immediately noticed that the bottom of the cylinder is hitting the floor. I sent pictures and video to the support email (since they don't have a phone number you can actually call) and was told that is how the chair is supposed to be... AND that since there are no problems with the chair (in their view) that the Free Returns plastered all over their site doesn't apply per their penurious terms of service. It's nonsense that a chair whose cylinder is hitting the floor has been assembled correctly. Seems pretty clear to me this is a place that thrives on selling less than advertised equipment to one time buyers... knowing they have insulated themselves from recourse with their T.O.S. at the point of sale. I will be contacting my credit card company to file a dispute if they don't provide the advertised Free Shipping and Full Refund. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

There isn't a 0 star, otherwise would give them only that. This company is a total fraud. You will not get your chair at least for a month.. When you get it, it will be broken.. Talk to them to return it, and they will ask you to send photos as evidence.. They take their own time in acknowledging your return merchandise. The issue is they don't seem to issue any refund though they send a PayPal screenshot that they had issued a refund. The catch is one can't dispute this transaction via the credit card company if the transaction is more than 45-60 days old.. So you just lost all your money without receiving anything in return or with a product that is useless. This company should be banned and the ownsers should be put behind bars for their fraudulent practices. read more

BUYER BEWARE. It took 5 weeks for me to get my chair!! Not fast shipping. And you'll probably see a robot named David who always says "thanks for the positive review LOL" leave a comment below. Purchased a like new refurbished Aeron chair but received a broken and cracked chair that doesn't work. And neither do the hydraulics on it. I contacted Kaytlyn Healy with their "Customer Care Team" within minutes of opening the chair and well within their 24 hour return policy. She was just rude. Our chair arrived with hair crusted in the wheels, the back would not attach to the base, there is some type of dirty oily residue on the seat that stinks and the arms just wobble, no matter what I do to try and tighten them. DO NOT PurCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!! I filed a complaint with the local DA's office and my Visa company also sided with me after seeing the photos. read more

The gold Humanscale Freedom chair arrived today. This chair appears to be used/well worn and damaged. There are several scuff marks, the paint is missing from all the base legs as though it was repainted and then worn off. The soft roller casters were not included and the casters on the chair were worn. It was just thrown into a box and poorly protected for transit. I thought I ordered a new chair, not used? Buyer beware of this company, they are representing the products as new on the website and then shipping used items. My order was placed Dec 6, 2021 and the first chair arrived today Jan 20, 2022. The second chair is nowhere to be seen. A few weeks after my order, I followed up and they issued me two tracking numbers as though the items were shipping. Weeks went by no movement on tracking. Just a ploy to delay. They are dishonest and deceitful. Buyer beware. Order your chairs from the manufacturer or a reputable dealer. I will give them a chance to make good on this first chair and post an update. read more

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY A CHAIR FROM OFFICE CHAIR AT WORK. My saga with OCAW began last Christmas, where I purchased a Herman Miller chair at a steep discount with free shipping "within 5-14 business days." A month later the chair hadn't been shipped, at which point I reached out through their customer service portal to see when the product would be shipped. They responded with a Dropbox screen shot indicating that Herman Miller was experiencing delays at the factory (never mind that the chair they sold me, as they reminded me later on, was "restored") and with a FedEx tracking number that I could refer to for when the item would become available (remember: FedEx! Keep that in mind!). Months later after multiple angry emails about delays, OCAW finally shipped me a chair via UPS (not FedEx! The original FedEx tracking number is still, almost a year later, listed as "Label Created" having never been shipped). Needless to say, the chair was simply unusable: not only had it incurred significant wear and tear ("we only promised that it would be shipped in restored condition, not in new condition"), but one of the wheels of the chair had broken beyond repair (seriously, I attempted to repair it with super glue, no dice). When I told them that I wanted a refund and that I would be disputing the purchase with my credit card company, they told me they would issue a refund only after they received the chair (while also threatening to "file criminal charges of possession of stolen property with your local police department and they will raid your place and you will face up to 10 years in prison" -- talk about customer service!). I sent the chair back and waited multiple weeks until the purchase was eligible to be disputed with my credit card company (OCAW never issued the refund they had promised). I only got my money back when the credit card company honored the dispute. To sum up: * chair was delivered late * customer service lied to me about delivery date and method * chair was delivered in unusable condition * customer service threatened me * company never issued a refund even after I returned the merchandise I hope you never ever ever I mean never do business with these scam artists, and I hope that if any of what I've described is criminally or civilly actionable that the people responsible for that behavior are brought to justice by the courts. read more

Edited to add this based upon David R's response ... As noted in my review I reached out to right away to cancel my order and also reached out multiple times to get my refund. I was always told it was "in process". Ultimately, your own customer service person (December 2, 2021 Kaytlyn H.) said to contact my credit card company. Which, by the way, did not include saying you stole my credit card number. Your response just reaffirms the total lack of customer service, blaming customers, and taking zero responsibility for issues on your end. --------------------------------------------- AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. Read the reviews here an on other sites. The Better Business Bureau rates Office Chair at Work an "F". I ordered a chair and realized it would not be the right one based upon an ergonomics consult. I requested it be canceled within an hour of ordering and they did not accommodate my request. My card was charged and it didn't leave their warehouse for a full week later. Once they chair arrived, I immediately sent it back. I had to pay $120 to send it back via FedEx (even though their webpage states "free returns" right at the top). When I asked about the free return they pointed me to some webpage with a bunch of disclaimers and terms about what is and is not covered by free returns. Once I sent the chair back they said it would take up to 10 days to process my refund once it is received. That never happened. Then I had to follow up to request my refund which they say they processed but my credit card company never received. I finally had to file a dispute with my credit card company to get the refund. Four months later I finally have my money back from the original purchase but am still out $120 for the return shipping cost. read more

Listen, this is an awful place to buy from. Not only are their items of poor quality, they don't properly secure them (AT ALL) while shipping, AND their customer service is horrid. This has been one of the WORST places I've bought from in a long time. No exaggeration. Please, save yourself the trouble and learn from my mistakes. They sent me a broken chair and won't do anything about it. They offered to send me 5% of the total cost back, but that's it. In order to return it for a full refund, I would have to pay $100+ to send the chair back. So, I'd be out over $100, PLUS A "RESTOCKING" FEE OF 35%. Genuinely, stay away. I'm having to file a complaint with the BBB. It's that bad. read more

If I could give it a zero, I would! I received the chair damaged during transportation. I immediately reported the problem to the vendor that, instead of filing a claim with fedex and helping me getting a replacement chair, put all the work on me. Because of the damage during transportation, the chair cannot be used: the cylinder sticks out (and scratched my hardwood floor when I took the chair out of the box to check it, as instructed by the vendor). And the base has deep scratches and the cover of the mechanism does not click back into place. The vendor told me I would have to figure out how to send it back and pay the shipping costs, so I accepted the vendor's offer of replacement parts. Today I received a new base and cylinder, without any instructions on how to replace them. I watched videos on youtube, and my husband and I tried to remove the cylinder without any success. It is a refurbished chair and the cylinder is stuck in place, we cannot manage to dislodge it. I'm now involving paypal, and see if I can get help with having the box picked up (it doesn't even fit in my car) and the shipping costs covered. What a pain to deal with Office Chair @ Work! I recently bought 2 chairs from Madison Seating. Great experience! I switched because the Aeron chair was out of stock. I'm going to patiently wait for Madison Seating to restock it!! If I could only get rid of the one I purchased from Office Chair @%#& Work and get my money back!!!! UPDATE AFTER MANAGER'S COMMENT: yes, I immediately contacted your customer service, sent photographs and asked if I should even open the clearly damaged box. I was told by Evelyn to do so. I documented all the damages, and was told the chair could not be replaced, if I wanted I could figure out how to send it back at my expense (it doesn't even fit in my car, I would have to pay to have it picked up and shipped), or I could choose to receive replacement parts (cylinder and base). Since the first option would not work for me, I accepted to attempt the second option. I received the replacement parts without any instructions. I watched youtube videos and my husband and I attempted to change the cylinder with a wrench. Well, it is stuck in there!!! It does not move. My husband is 78-year-old with 3 back surgeries, I'm 52, we cannot manage to change the part. And we shouldn't even be attempting to do it in the first place! YOU should file a claim with fedex for the damaged chair (I've sent plenty of pictures, even before opening the box that was left at my front door), and should send me a replacement. I'm escalating the case with paypal. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! The chair they sent to me is obviously very old and also broken. The base of the seat is cracked and had been previously glued back together. I didn't realize it until it broke and it was after the 30 return period. They are claiming chairs are 'refurbished' but they are not that at all, they are junk, garbage, total crap. Website is misleading. Customer service is email only and snarky. Go to Better Business Bureau online and look them up, you'll see that there are MANY complaints of the same nature. Wish I did that first. Lesson learned and out $299. UPDATE: Customer service offered to send me a new seat. I had asked for a full refund or at least exchange the chair for a different one -and hope it's in better shape. Nope, they couldn't do it. They claim I bought and have been using the chair MANY, MANY months. I received it mid January, it's been 3.5 months. .

to be brief, I purchase the chair cost me around $700. they never even try to ship it out. I email them three times, and every time they just told you. it is gonna take 5-14 days. But I never received it. I place the order and paid on November 23, 2022. Today is February 04, 2023, and tracking shows they have not to ship it, just the "label created" read more

Just like other reivews you saw here, this is a total scam. DONT ORDER FROM THEM. DONT ORDER FROM THEM. DONT ORDER FROM THEM. I made my purchase on 2/8/23, but never receive the product 60 days later. Then I requested a refund but they never issued it. I had to call my credit card company to get my money back. read more

I purchased what I thought was an overstock/return Haworth Zody office chair from this company. If you look at the ad, it notes that the chair usually sells for $1,299 but is on sale for $449. Now, this is buyer beware; if it looks too good to be true it certainly is. In this case only if you look at the "Additional Information" tab will you see that the Condition is "restored". Restored in this context means a dirty, broken chair with some crappy silver overspray on the base. Practically speaking, I have no recourse as it's noted as used...but no one should do business with this firm. read more

SCAM!!!!! Should be zero stars. I've spent the last hour dealing with this with PayPal to open a claim and get my money. What a pain in the a**. Just read all the reviews below. The site seems deceptively legitimate. I wish Office Chairs at Work all the worst luck in the world for defrauding people. What a bunch of horrible criminals, especially you fake "Evelyn' (their horrible fake customer service rep who sends purposely rude emails while ripping you off). What's wrong with this world? You have been warned. read more

I ordered a chair from this company that arrived in terrible condition. Scratches, smelled like mold, and I brought it to the company's attention. I was told I could return the chair for a refund. I returned the chair shortly thereafter and requested the refund. They indicated they couldnt refund my credit card and would need to mail a check. I pushed back but ultimately agreed as they offered no other alternative. I waited for the check to arrive and it didn't. I wrote them asking where the check was and they said to wait longer. 3 weeks went by with no check. I emailed them again and they indicated they would send another check. They never provided proof of mailing the check nor did I EVER receive the check. It has now been 8 months since I purchased and returned the chair and have yet to receive payment. I write them emails to each of their publicly listed emails and they no longer respond to my inquiries. This is the least professional company I have EVER worked with. They should be shut down. read more

BUYER BEWARE. Do NOT order anything from this company. Complete scam artists. I thought I was buying a new Leap chair, and a used, disassembled chair arrived in a box that had been crushed because the chair was so poorly packed. Literally thrown into the box with a few pieces of loose bubble wrap. When I pulled the seat piece out of the box, it had obviously been used. I contacted them and they asked for photos of the damage; I sent them pictures and then they cut me off. No responses whatsoever. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. According to posts here, many other people apparently have been scammed, someone needs to stop these people. I wouldn't be surprised if they are selling stolen goods. If you have been scammed by this company I implore you to file a complaint with www.comlaint.ic3.gov. It's the FBI site for reporting fraud on the internet. read more

They are rude and unprofessional! Their statement "We treat every customer as our best customer" is absolutely false. I wanted to purchase conference room chairs that would total several thousand dollars, but asked if I could talk by phone over details instead of back and forth emails. I got an email back from their "Customer Support Team" (Evelyn Kinsley) saying "we are too busy to CHAT on the phone." When I said that was poor customer service, they emailed again to say they "pity the competition who will have to work with me." Nice. Below is the actual exchange... ---- On Wed, 30 Nov 2022 12:20:07 -0500 S wrote --- Thank you. That does look similar. Would you please give me a call at 562-275-4224.

I have questions and need to purchase several thousand dollars in total for chairs, and you have the audacity to email me that your company's CUSTOMER CARE TEAM does not "have time to chat on the phone." How dare you. I did not need or desire to CHAT with you. I needed to conduct BUSINESS with your company. I will be sure to never purchase from you since you are too busy and rude to even make the sale. And will be sure to include your response on social media.
