beautifully crafted and looks great. The store owner claims that it is made in Italy. I am skeptical, because every time I ask for the name of the manufacturer they act uncomfortable and they avoid telling me (my boss knows the name, no one has ever made this request, I have to find out, etc).
Maybe they are nervous that I might go on the internet and try to buy the dininig room directly from the manufacturer. Or, maybe they don't want me to discover how much the cost is.
The point is, I feel that I have a right to know exactly what I am getting, especially when I am spending almost $9,000. for all I know, it could be made in China, and is a knock-off of an original.
This dining room set is made to order (or so they claim), is shipped from Italy, and takes about 2 months to arrive.
I asked if I can get anything- a certificate of authenticity, a paper stating the name and location of the manufacturer- ANYTHING- but I still have no info.
I put down $100 yesterday, and in a couple of hours I will have to remit another $2,400, which is non-refundable.
Is there anything I can do to find out who produces this furniture, and where it's produced?
If they won't give you the info, DON'T give them anymore money. then report the to the BBB. If they are legitimate, they wouldn't be so secretive about it. I suspect it's a knock off.
If they are afraid you'll shop on the internet, why would you put down $ already. You've already stated your commitment. there is another reason they aren't sharing the info.
If they aren't up front with the information, then they are not an upfront business. I wouldn't buy anything from them. After they have your $2400 they can jerk you around forever.
Tell them you want the info before you put the money down if they refuse to give it to you then yup its a scam and get your deposit back. Good Luck
For a set that cost $9000 you can be sure that someone has asked this about the manufacturing details before, so I wouldn't buy the excuses they are giving you. for that price, if they can't prove that it is what they say it is, I'd go somewhere else. of course, if you really like the table maybe it doesn't really matter where it came from as long as it seems good quality and you really like it. If it was me, I'd do a search online for dining room tables and see if I see anything that looks like what you want and then decide whether 9 grand seems worth it. Good luck!
