We bought all of our furniture from small guilds and companies in the USA because of the quality, craftsmanship, and customization. But big or small, none of the companies were very dependable. They'd give us production estimates for our customers, and we'd always tack on a few extra weeks, just to cover our buns. But often, a 4-6 week estimate would become 16 weeks. It was horrible. People would get so mad at us and think that we were trying to pull a fast one. Sadly, it's businesses like the one that gave you grief, that really make people paranoid (and rightly so). It's terrible that they evaded your calls and closed without making right on their promise. I'm glad that you didn't just roll over, and were persistent enough to get something for your efforts and money. Your buffet is beautiful, and you should be proud of yourself for everything you went through to get it!<br /><br />JennJenn Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484708374808620986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995586760262264738.post-22237777701251061112011-06-24T12:01:24.516-05:002011-06-24T12:01:24.516-05:00it turned out so beautiful!!! sounds like a head a...it turned out so beautiful!!! sounds like a head ache tho... <br />but I LOVE IT!!!<br /><br />http://jaysonandashley.blogspot.comAshleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699579244351092313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995586760262264738.post-36767582427698248822011-06-23T09:20:40.087-05:002011-06-23T09:20:40.087-05:00Bless your heart!
