Abruzzo Chair CB2--Looks Gorgeous but Bad Quality + CB2 Doesn't Stand Behind Products
Like others, I have had repeated issues with CB2 providing misleading delivery dates, but the most recent issue is product quality. After waiting 6 months for Abruzzo leather chairs--and not purchasing alternative ones because of false hope these would be delivered as originally promised--I was disappointed to learn that the quality of these chairs is not good. Wooden pieces are merely glued together; they are not joined in any other fashion. We don't even sit in these chairs and when I saw the wood was unglued and the arm and leg piece had come apart, I immediately contacted CB2. What I learned is this: CB2 does not stand behind its products. It took multiple emails before I was finally offered a replacement. Instead, CB2 scolded me for not telling them earlier about the issue (which I reported as soon as I saw). CB2 originally offered to dock me 30% and give me a gift card. Only after multiple emails did CB2 offer a new replacement chair (though I wonder if that quality will be any better). Then--when I submitted a review--it was "moderated" and CB2 wiped out my earlier review. This company and its products were once fantastic. That is no longer true. Spend a bit more and buy from Mitchell Gold or another retailer. West Elm seems to do a better job on quality and customer service. Also, MG stands behind its products with a lifetime warranty--for a price point that's only slightly higher.
