Staff at the Tottenham Court Road branch were very helpful. They went out of their way to order a product in a colour that wasn't in the catalogue for us. The COCO chair in green is a beauty.
Deliveries arranged ahead of time and store agreed to send different units as soon as they were ready, at no extra cost.

I would have given 5 stars but it hasn鈥檛 yet been delivered but, should that process go without a hitch too, I shall be re-rating them with top marks.
Thank you for being so decent today!

The important point for Calligaris here is that you miss the point completely. It is completely unacceptable to deliver furniture to a customer and then ignore that same customer when the internal structure of the sofa fails within two weeks of delivery. When ANY customer buys a piece of furniture costing thousands of pounds from your showroom, whether it is in a sale or not, to then think that it is ok for the internal structure of the furniture (which a customer cannot see) to fail within two weeks of the delivery, and then you say, not my problem is not reasonable or sustainable for an international company. People buy furniture from brands based on trust otherwise we would buy from a street trader. You tried to ignore a customer who had spent over 拢10k in your store.
ANYONE reading this will know that this is not how to treat any customer who spent alot of money with you a couple of weeks prior. You are in denial and instead of painting a picture of my review being inaccurate, please confirm now that your sofa was faulty because of a manufacturing fault. There are lots of competitors who would have jumped through hoops to have me spend over 拢10k with them. You are an ungrateful company who takes customers for granted.
Your response says that the Chiswick Store was closed because it was underperforming. Well, if you know anything at all, UNDERPERFORMING is because customers stop coming back to you. Customers simply vote with their feet.
What started out as a positive experience was sadly soured by the fact that Calligaris takes its customers for granted. For the price you charge for your furniture, you should be alarmed that it fell apart within weeks with a customer. Instead you tried to ignore that customer until a review was put online that other customers might see.
If I were your boss and you posted a response to a customer like you have, you would be UNDERPERFORMING to the front door mate. Shame on you and Calligaris who are clearly happy with you rubbishing their brand. To think that John Lewis are now stocking your furniture …… Good luck The John Lewis Partnership !!!

When a company disrespects its customers by ignoring their genuine complaints, you can expect a reaction and to read it online. For an international company, I am surprised that you opt to ignore customers rather than deal with their issues.
The correct approach would have been to say Mr Customer, sorry about the issue you have had, lets try and put it right. Instead you did your best to ignore me, blame me for your faulty furniture which your independent repairer confirmed as a manufacturing fault.
Instead of a happy repeat customer, you have an upset one (even if you did fix the faulty furniture in the end).
