I Dump, You Dump, we all hate The Dump

So I have to vent right now about The Dump furniture store. David and I are on a very strict budget but nonetheless would like to buy a Queen bedroom set. I have never had a complete set of furniture. I have always had mixed matched pieces that looked beautiful but now that I'm married- I want a new, matching set...

SO we have been hunting all the furniture clearance stores and found a beautiful bed at The Dump on Sunday. It looked a lot like this one from Pottery Barn.



So we asked one of the 10 sales people who approached us and asked "Can I help you with something" ...do you think they work off commission!! anywho we asked this person- does that dresser and that nightstand go with this bed? Because we are interested in buying a set.

After she checked the computer she says "yes!" and here's the price...We LOVED the price and said ok we'll take it.

SO we loaded up as much as we could in David's car and headed home. We were in a hurry to get the other pieces so David literally dropped Dad and I off with the first load and took off again to go back to The Dump.

So we started opening the boxes to clear room...and found that all 4 of the posts were broken.

Then David brought the second load home and we thought- let's open all these before David has to go back AGAIN to return the bed posts to be sure everything else is good.

Well we were missed 3 of the knobs for the night stands...weird.

So after David went to the Dump a total of 3 times. We put the headboard up and put a nightstand next to it...they are NOT the same color at all...in fact they are not even the same manufacturer..

hmm.
Not a happy camper. So we are returning the whole set...which will take another 2 trips...unless you want to lend us your pick up truck?

And we will be going to Weirs. Period. They are trustworthy and will do it right.
Thanks for letting me vent...

Dad said you should stop payment and just let them pick it up! Except where would you put it? So sorry - there is a Haverty's outlet close to you...Monfort or Preston - they are very reputable...live and learn!

why don't we live closer?! we are almost about ready to pay someone to take our bed that looks just like that one b/c it doesn't work in NYC apartments!! so sad.

sorry it's been a frustrating shopping experience. :(
