Maë Console Table badly discolored after one gentle cleaning -- Customer service unresponsive
=== UPDATE: Tikamoon replied below saying that they've reached out via email. That's true but their reply was NOT helpful. They acknowledged I followed the proper care instructions (wipe down with a damp cloth) and their solution to the color damage was for me to buy sandpaper, a stain, and re-sand and stain the tabletop! If I had known all of that was required every time I cleaned the surface I definitely wouldn't have bought this. I don't have time to buy materials and perform light construction every time I need to clean the table. I requested to just return the table but they did not reply to that. Here's their exact reply: "We have now heard back from our Quality Department regarding your question. They recommend sanding the surface using 150–180 grit sandpaper, and then applying V33 Golden Oak wood stain." ==== ORIGINAL POST: I ordered the Maë - Solid Teak Console Table less than a year ago. Yesterday I went to clean it with a lint-free cloth and water, carefully following the care instructions and the surface was substantially discolored. I was hoping spending $500 on a console table would withstand a gentle cleaning. Even more disappointing, I emailed Tikamoon for help with resolution. They acknowledge receipt of my message and that they'd reply soon, but it's been 11 days and I haven't heard anything. If you're going to spend on higher end furniture, I suggest you buy somewhere that has more durable furniture and that stands behind their quality (or at least responds to customer service inquiries!)
