once, twice, third time it's out... or why I no longer have a dining room table

Rant kinda:
I don't know if anyone remembers but I bought a brand new dining room table a while back and have had nothing good to say about it. The first one had dings and obvious filler spots in it. The second one had a bowed leaf and now the third is going out of here too. In the few months we've had it every chair has at least been tightened once. The "stain" job did not impregnate the wood and can be scratched off with a fingernail with no pressure and you can see a bunch of runs in the stain as well. We are not abusive to furniture I think this stuff is just junk. Needless to say the store knows as they are taking it back but I think I may even let the corporate office know on this one. Rant over.

 

I'd say you are smarter than me... ours is just a very large shelf.

 

Just curious if you know where the table was manufactured?

 

Not here I guess I should have known better but I kind of just tell the wife if that's what you want.

 

Tough situation, the wives like what they see and want it. No considerations to the "made in china" stickers
or the craftsmanship 'we' can see.

 

I just wonder whether the Chinese foist the same level of crap on their domestic market as opposed to dumping it on us?

 

Good question

 

We have stores around here called the Christmas Tree Shops, just about everything
retailed in those stores is made in China. It's cheap shopping with cheap stuff.

 

we have those around here too. no thats not where the table came from. it was a big furniture store that we had bought furniture from before without problems.

 

That sucks...if that was tbe the third table from them..they would be coming to gef on their dime..

 

Oh yea they are.

 

I guess you've never been in a Hobby Lobby - everything is Chinese junk and 90% of the merchandise is broken on the shelves

 

I sent an email to the corporate office, nothing nasty just wanted to let them know they sell junk. I am even more disappointed because i got a very generic reply that to me basically said yea we know we sell junk but you have to take it up with the store. you would think they would remember from business school the rule of 13. For every 1 unhappy customer they will tell 13 people. With all the social media out there that becomes a way larger number. Grizzly Adam or any other mod is it ok to post the company name so no one else buys there junk?

 

I would assume so, as long as you have a legitimate complaint. Scotty Overkill DexterDay Pallet Pete Well Seasoned swags what do you guys think?

 

Grizzly Adam i think after the 3rd table due to defects i think its legit. not a big deal though.

 

Yeah, wasnt arguing the legitimacey-- was just being careful to not set the wrong precedent.

 

Grizzly Adam True true. We will just leave it at whats been said and if someone is really interested they can PM me.

 

Like I said in my first post, if its ok with the rest of the staff its ok with me...

 

No problem we'll leave it alone. Thought i would ask first.
