We had purchased a bookcase in August 2016 from The Mallery Hall Collection company. We really liked the design of that bookcase, and we were hoping that this would be a great piece for our study.

The bookcase arrived two weeks later than promised, and to our surprise, it was packaged only in a thin layer of shrink wrap. We immediately discovered damages in multiple places. Also the shipping company refused to assemble whole bookcase. We were told that Mallery Hall never paid for full assembly, and if we want to have it assembled we have to pay extra. We had specifically requested and paid for full assembly at the time of purchase, because of the size of the bookcase. It is almost 10' wide and 8' feet high.
 
We contacted The Mallery Hall and complained about damages and assembly and requested to replace the damaged bookcase. We were told by Mrs. Karol Field that this is a custom piece, there is no refund and damages can be repaired. We tried to explain that we had paid $6,500.00 for a new piece and not damaged and repaired piece. We also requested Mallery Hall to arrange full assembly of the bookcase. Mrs. Field ignored all our requests and all she did was to schedule repair company to come out and glue pieces of broken wood back together and paint the scratches. It looks pretty bad and we are stuck with damaged and repaired piece of furniture. 
 
Mallery Hall claims that because this piece is in a "shabby chic" style made out of reclaimed wood damages were intentional and were part of the design. We provided them with pictures of raw wood showing and chipped of wood pieces hanging by a thread, which were damaged by shipping. Also the quality of the furniture it absolutely horrible. The design is nice, but the craftsmanship is very poor . It looks like somebody put it together from old palette wood in the back of the garage. It is definitely not worth the money we spend, and we know we were ripped off. Please think twice before you do business with this company.

Rebuttal from Mallery Hall

AUTHOR: Mallery Hall - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, July 20, 2017

Grand Carved Bookcase Unit Ornate Style 2 Sizes  from our Shabby Le Chic Collection

These pieces are solid wood, and are made from reclaimed Pine for a distinct look of antique furniture. These pieces were inspected prior to dropping off in WA State and reinforced with cardboard edging and shrink wrap. The company that picked up re-enforced with more packaging with bubble and cardboard and put the shipment on pallets.  Pictures attached. Most of this packaging was removed at the delivery agent prior to delivering to the customer.  Pictures attached.

The bookcase was not shipped on the line haul to the client with just shrink wrap. Pictures were sent to the customer showing how items were sufficiently packaged, but they continue to accuse us and slander us online for insufficient packaging and inferior products which we feel is very wrong and certainly not the case. This customer also slandered us in long online forums calling us liars, used rude texts messages to slander our company, and accuse us of things that were not true, etc because His shipment was 2 weeks late. Our invoices and policies state that shipping delays can happen and our customers understand and sign that shipping delays are out of our control.  Mallery Hall uses movers who move slower in an attempt to avoid damages and this is at a higher expense for our customer’s protection. Our POD (proof of delivery)  states that pieces were put into place and the debris removed as is white glove service.

As mentioned this piece is part of our Shabby Le Chic Collection and constructed from reclaimed wood to resemble “Antique Furniture Pieces” There will be imperfections and some movement in the wood as is acclimatizes.  The construction methods are somewhat rudimentary but these pieces will last forever.  The damages were immediately repaired even before our claims were paid in an attempt to satisfy this customer.

Our policies are very clear that we cannot allow returns due to the size and custom nature of our orders. This was agreed by our client with signatures received agreeing to this policy.  Our policies also state and recommend that customers preview our wood samples, and this was offered to our client, but this client declined this offer prior to ordering. We are sorry that this customer has “buyer’s remorse”, as they mentioned they wanted a more contemporary piece that was NOT shabby in nature.

Mallery Hall is very proud to have had many satisfied customers, and this is our ultimate goal. Let us help your Dream or Desire come true. “You Dream It, We Will Build It”
