I was told at one point I'd get help with the build - not true unless you pay. (Small caveat to that detail below).
I ordered a mattress, a kitchen set, and a bedroom set.
The delivery guys broke one of the handles off my door after I told him to stop pushing and that he was caught on something. Luckily I was able to repair it.
The kitchen set had two fun issues and it took numerous phone calls to get any help. The leg for the table was bent inwards at one end, so the table couldn't go together - at least that is what the builder said the next day when he came. (Also apparently being told they'll call at before 10 means I needed to call at 10:30).
Also the bars to support the table top makes little sense in that they aren't the same length and despite the builder finishing up what little there was to do for the table it still feels lose. At least they did that for free.
The chairs that came with that set? Instructions don't match reality. I can only hope that the seats are even.
One of the bedroom sets was missing the instructions (haven't built that one. I will tomorrow), but the other two.. are so warped that parts didn't fit together. Such as the back on the wardrobe not fitting correctly. The doors not lining up. Or the nightstand drawer not being flush. Maybe it's me, but given the kitchen set issues and given that I've built several of these flatpack furniture items and never had these issues or this many (at most a missing piece in the past) I'm going to go with poor quality.
But over the numerous phone calls I was told, that this never happens; the furniture is forgein made and imported and sometimes it happens. Ignoring the contradiction there, getting help was nearly impossible. They are great at customer service before buying but after, as I said, it took numerous phone calls, what felt like pulling teeth, a few snippy sounding folks, and a lot of telling people the same thing over and over again. And as I said me having to call them again after they said they'd call at a certain time. Oh, and the builder they sent around, suggested things that would void any warranties.
I'd never thought I'd say these words but, IKEA and it's furniture are easier to deal with.
Or
Prices are amazing.
Very quick delivery.
The delivery guys, especially Mick, went out of their way to get the bed/mattress that I've choosen ( super king size), into my upstairs bedroom. Mick was so helpful. Without him, the bed and matress wouldn't be in my bedroom🤣
