The website 'good bones, great pieces' = THEFT FROM HARD-WORKING ARTISTS! This website, authored by an apparently very lazy mother-daughter writing team, is featuring and promoting designs stolen from Dallas area artists! We don't know if the authors are just ignorant of Design Legacy's (aka Legacy Trading Workroom, Kelly O'Neal's Interior Design, etc.) long-time reputation her in Dallas or actually in cahoots with O'Steal and his band of con men...either way...shame on 'good bones, great pieces'... read full review »

My major concern was getting a soft comfortable mattress. I can't sleep on a hard bed. I toss and turn in misery all night long. On vacations, I have had to sleep on things like pool floats and the cushion from chaise lounges because I could not tolerate the mattresses. I made this very clear to the salesman, this was my priority. The salesman, Jeff, pushed me away from the more reasonably priced mattresses to the expensive ones that have the different "color" choices of hardness. Here they call it "Sleep to Live"... read full review »

2 years ago We pruchased a complete outdoor wicker patio set (table w/4 chairs), 2 other sitting chairs, 2 person seat w/ coffee table. We keep this furniture outside during the summer on our patio. We keep all of the furniture inside during the winter. During early May 2009 we put out the furniture on the patio. It is now October 2009. The weaving around the arms and all other rounded pieces that are wrapped around the round metal pieces has rotted and every piece is coming apart. We enjoy Walmart. However, this product is defective and needs to be returned. But our 1 year warrenty has expired. Can anything be done? read full review »

on returning to our bungalow on the costa sal matagorda lanzarote this september, we were very annoyed to see that although we have been paying our maintenance, the bungalow (605) was in a terrible state and in need of a full overhaul.when we bought our 2 weeks, we were told that things would be updated every 5 years, but to our astonishment, nothing has been done, on our arrival we had to ask for a new shower, as the one that was in there was broken, we also noticed that windows and frames were in desperate need of replacement as they are... read full review »

Please be careful when reading complaints on message boards. Most people who complain don't understand the value of having a professional service person take care of their problems. You will find that a lot of them say that "I fixed it myself for $6 dollars" Yea right. Don't mess around with the most valuable thing that you own... your home. Use professional service people to get the job done right. And always ask about a warranty and how long they have been in business. read full review »

There were a leakage of gas on 14.10.2009 evening from the junction of the regulator and cylinder when a new cylinder was connected. A strong hissing sound with pungent smell alerted us. The cylinder was immediately stopped and next day i.e on 15.10.2009 a complaint was lodged with the agency but till 18.07hrs. no one attended. When undersigned contacted over phone they boldly said there is no EMERGENCY service. This a gross negligence to their part, and I feel any day it can cause major accident and loss of life. read full review »

In the spring of 2009, my wife noticed that our furnace was not shutting off, we decided we would wait until the fall as the cost would probably be extensive to repair. I called Stanzel heating and left a message that was never returned. We then contacted Denoco who scheduled us for that following Friday...They never showed up or called to reschedule. We then contacted Xcel heating and they promptly came out to the house. They ordered a part and returned a few days later. The part they ordered did not fix the problem and they told us that they... read full review »

We purchased the Harbor Breeze 52" Halston II Aged Bronze Ceiling Fan at the end of January in 2009. IT WAS GREAT!!! Until... last month (Sept. 2009) the ceiling fan suddenly started to spin in the opposite direction. I was sitting on the foot of the bed and I heard a whirling noise, looked up, saw the fan come to a complete stop and then start turning in the other direction. We found the reset switch and that appeared to have resolved the issue, as far as the spinning was concerned. But the fan became loud. Very loud. And, it just... read full review »

When we purchased our new home our realtor recommended that we hire a company named US Inspect in Chantilly, VA to do our home and termite inspections. It was a big mistake to think that US Inspect has qualified termite inspectors. The company claims their inspectors provide homebuyers with accurate and detailed WDI/WDO inspection reports however their inspectors ARE NOT qualified to do termite inspections. In our experience, our inspector Tom Short checked off every possible obstruction under Section IV of the WDI/WDO report which in essence... read full review »

We purchased a new home in September of 2006. Contractor who built the home had a Goodman Heat Pump 13 seer installed. We are three years into owning the home.

Simply stated: My wife and I ordered blackout blinds for for our newborn's room, very clearly stating we needed blackout blinds. We purchased what the sales rep advised based upon our requests for $300. The order arrived, and the shades/blinds are the furthest thing from blackout than one could imagine. They allow in vast amounts of light. JC Penney insists it is my issue now, as they do not refund or fix special orders like this. I have sent them photos which clearly indicate the blinds do not block light, refusing to work with... read full review »

I was relieved to find this website as it has allowed me the opportunity for some redress against Empire Direct for their shocking customer service. I ordered and paid for a Miele Automatic-TT5000 on 20th November 2007. The website quotes 7-10 days (which we have since found out that it always does if out of stock, whatever the anticipated delivery time). On the 7th December I had not heard from them so I rang to be told that the order ‘had not transferred across’, and they re-ordered it for me under a different reference... read full review »

We purchased a new HVAC system from this company with the promise of "you should save 25-35% on your electric bills." The only reason we replaced the HVAC system was to tryo to lower our electric bills. Two months after the system was installed, we were not saving any money so we contact Mr John Love. He had no idea what to do or how we would ever save moeny with his new system. John Love, the company President, has lied to the Better Business Bureau and the HVAC board in reponse to our complaints against his company. the lies he ha... read full review »

My wife and I went up against David Partiel, Jonathan Partiel, their lawyer and independent expert... and won!!! Although they probably still profited after this ordeal because of the 280% mark up between the what we paid and what they paid the subcontractor ($24, 000 and $8, 500), we are happy to announce that we won, they were found at fault, and now we can tell the whole world... including the BBB and all the other places these unscrupulous bastards have somehow managed to keep a 'clean' record.

I have two very big complaints. 1) The sales representatives are the most pressure driven people I have ever worked with. I heard ever sales pitch, gimmick, and trick in the book working with these guys. They don’t ask you if you are interested, they tell you that you are interested. I had a guy call me and tell me about aerating and seed product. He went on and on about how I had to have this done for winter and it will do all these wonderful things. Then he said when would be the best time to get this taken care of. The way he... read full review »

I placed an order shown below on the 27th Sept for a bed and mattress. The order passed the deadline and I wasn't informed of this change. Kept waiting more than 6 weeks I cancelled and was refunded. Two weeks later we got a phone call asking when we wanted delivery of the mattress. We informed them we had cancelled. A week after this the bed arrived with no notice. I informed them that we had cancelled and had purchased a bed elsewhere. He informed me that he was just to deliver it and I could do what I wanted with it. Two... read full review »

We ordered for two single reclining sofas and a three seater on 14-July with Allders Store in Croydon, and paid the full amount (around 1000GBP) on the same day. The estimated delivery time was 12-14 weeks. But, its already 15 weeks now, and when I went in and enquired about it, they had no clue on the delivery dates. So, one of the salesmen took my details and promised me to call back with some details. It took them around a week to come back to me, but as per the Allders Manager the items have to be shipped from China and the shipment... read full review »

Advice me if you think its fair... I placed an order for sofas in January during New Year sales. They advertises a special offer for a massage chair at reduced price when you spend over £1000. So my husband and I decided to make up our purchase over £1000 in order to get this massage chair at a reduced price. I received all items except the massage chair. Even though at the time of order they said its in stock, small prints on the invoice say it may take upto 20 weeks, which now is over. I have called the company many many time... read full review »

In late 2000 we spent almost £20000 having Hammonds refit all four of our bedrooms. The saga of getting them right lasted almost a year. Since then we have gone back to them due to various problems, peeling handles, discolouring of veneers in the main bedroom, etc. Imagine our horror when, just outside the guarantee period, the laminate surfaces in 2 bedrooms began to peel off. All the door and drawer edges have large gaps where the surface has delaminated. The options offered by Hammonds are: Chargeable replacement doors and... read full review »

Furniture 123 are still at their old tricks. I ordered a nest of tables on 14 June, for delivery in two weeks. Furniture 123 took the money from my account on the 16 June. I received a phone call from them telling me that they were waiting for new stock to come in and that the goods would be delived by the later part of July. I have tried to contact them several times by phone and email without success. I have now written to them giving them seven days to either deliver the goods or return my money otherwise I will be reporting them and their actions to Trading Standards. I would advise everyone to boycott this company. read full review »

I was on vacation from June 20 till September 19. Nobody was living at my home. My electricity consumption during that time amounted to the insignificant value of about 6.9 amps, (This was verified by an electrician I hired for that purpose), which if calculated correctly, comes to about 597 KWH per month for the three months of June-July, July-August, and August-September. My Electric meter was actually read on June 21. The reading was 8465. On August 19 the meter was finally read and the reading showed 9659. My actual... read full review »

We were the 3rd of 3 homes built in our subdivision before the builder went under. Our 8-10 month build time stretched to 18 months and we still had to fight to close at that time. Though they did not file for bankruptcy, we were told that they would provide labor for our warranty, but we would have to pay costs out of pocket. They did a couple things, but we had to contact the contractors directly and only the tile company and the HVAC company worked with us. We have electrical issues that have not been resolved, among other smaller issue... read full review »

Whitaker Pool & Spa is an organization that opens and closes pools year after year. They state that they have over 20 years experience. My experience unfortunately was a bad one. When they opened up the pool earlier this year they did the following: 1) Forgot to put the ladder in 2) Did not turn on the gas line for the heater to work 3) Snapped in the pool lights but did not tighten the screws. Water entered and the light was blown. $600.00 value gone in an instant. After I called to mention the above they were quick to... read full review »

Just bought this mattress 7/30/09 and the first night the bed caves in where you lye. No support what so ever and lumpy. We were never given a copy of the warranty. We were told by the sales person we have no problem with exchanging this product for any reason. Our backs hurt so bad to where our bodies hurt every morning since buying this $1, 565.01 mattress. You figure for this amount you feel like your sleeping on a cloud. More like rocks.
