Great furniture

They launch the deals on the app before the website usually. They sell a lot of dupes but it’s considerably better quality than the junk you’ll get from Wayfair. Good customer support too.

Logged me out

Won’t let me log in without creating a paid account with Shopify. I paid for a membership to the Essential and I can’t order anything. There’s no contact information on the app to help.

Logged me out

Won’t let me log in without creating a paid account with Shopify. What gives? Why am I having to pay another service to shop here?

Terrible service would never recommend it

I placed an order two months ago, and I still haven’t received it. This isn’t the first time I’ve had issues with delayed shipments from your company, but this is beyond reasonable.

I reached out to support asking for a refund, but instead, I was offered a $15 credit for a future order. That’s not acceptable. I’m not ordering from you again, and I don’t want store credit—I want my money back.

At this point, I’m just disappointed and tired of going in circles. I shouldn’t have to chase down an order for two months or fight for a basic refund. Since I haven’t been able to get a resolution, I’m left with no choice but to share my experience in an app review so others are aware of what to expect.

Shipping Broken

I purchased some items, but the shipping option or selector keeps pending and doesn’t pick anything. I’m unable to place an order through Apple Pay or the regular checkout.
