Crate And Barrel
Reviews and Complaints

Each time I sweep the floor, peelings from these chairs are EVERYWHERE!!

I’m not certain what I’d going on, but each tome I sweep the floor, I’m getting more and more peeling from these chairs.

Paid $300 each for 6 tan leather chairs and they all developed blacks cracks which keep on expanding. Can’t even sell them they are so bad. I put cheap cushions on them to partially hide I talked to a sales person at the store and said he knew about the problem. Now I read that I am not they only one with this problem. They have gotten worse since these photos.

We bought a rug at Crate & Barrel at Westfield UTC for $1,399, plus a delivery charge. Within two years the rug started falling apart, despite our very gentle, limited use (no kids, no pets). Despite our sending photos of the defective rug, after a long time on hold, Crate & Barrel tried to charge us a huge "restocking fee," "pickup fee" and then issue us a store credit instead of a refund, thus trying to force us through the "freight" and barrel process again. What a horrible experience!

Spent over 2.5 hours trying to order a simple item. Was left in queu for over a 30 min period 2x. Then left my phone number 2x. Tried the chat feature, but the rep couldn’t help me or answer my question. Time to shop at PB or RH!

My wife and I ordered this sofa from the Lenox Mall Atlanta store and recently discovered that the order is going to be delivered late. I want to emphasize that WE discovered the lateness when WE called to check as we had not heard anything for over four weeks! We discovered through painful phone calls over three days that the store was notified within a week of the delay and did not notify us. When we tried to discover the reason, we were palmed off with several "probable" reasons that all involved the manufacturer and the material we chose for this "semi-custom" sofa. We pushed for a definite reason and the store manager eventually called to say that "corporate" had told her that our order was being manufactured and would be ready as per the "lead time" quoted in writing when we place the order, BUT, it was going to stay at the factory until Crate & Barrell had enough orders from other customers to financially justify picking up from the manufacturer and "corporate" was not going to do anything about it as it was not "cost effective." In fact, the manager confirmed that all the "lead time" and "ETA"s that they give you, verbally and in writing, mean NOTHING: it could be six, 12, 24 months or more before we see our order. Crate & Barrel are not held to any delivery standard if it does not meet their cost effective (read profit line) goals. Individual customer service and satisfaction fall way below their company profit line in priorities, despite the fact that they take your money up front and keep it in their bank account gaining interest for them! Any cancellations after 72-hours of order placing result in no refund. Under other circumstances this may be called highway robbery, or even fraud! In addition to this appalling example of big business holding the individual "hostage" for their own gains, we have serious reservations as to what Crate & Barrel may have done with our personal credit information. When we placed the order we were advised that we would get a discount if we applied for a Crate & Barrel credit card. I went ahead and applied as directed by the sales associate and inputted my information into the key pad at the checkout desk. Three weeks after, MYWIFE, received a letter from Crate & Barrel's credit card company saying that they could not approved HER application as they could not verify HER social security number. My wife never touched the keypad and never input any of her information. After two attempts from the store, we eventually obtained the telephone number for Crate & Barrel's credit card company as it was not included in the letter. We discovered that the company had NEVER received my application and couldn't explain why my wife had an application processed in her name as the store was responsible for gathering the information. Of course, the Lenox Place Atlanta store had no explanation. We are closely monitoring our credit reports, but are gravely concerned about Crate & Barrel's personal information collection system. BE AWARE AND BE VERY CAREFUL.
