Ordered two pairs of bars stools but only received one pair. Called customer service and the they sent the other pair immediately. They also had the best price!

A sham

A sham. Barstoolco. took ~320usd for a promised zen casa Leiden chair which was never sent to me. The website was shut down and has since re-emerged as a new business identity / entity known as Houzz. I am going to need a refund of my money.

I would like to take this company to…

I would like to take this company to court and will be researching my options. One star is too high of a rating, but that is the lowest rating available. I ordered a barstool almost two months ago and have never received it or had any way to contact the company. Their website is continually not available and the phone has a constant busy signal. I filled a complaint with the Better Business Bureau associated with the company's published address. That complaint has been closed with no response from the company. I can only assume that this is a fake company making money from unsuspecting 'customers'. If you are reading this, kudos to you for doing your research. Shame on me for not looking far enough into their reviews and BBB complaints. Lesson learned for me, and grateful that I am not out thousands like some others are.

Scam company

Scam company. Beware. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THESE SCAMMERS. I placed an order for side tables for my office and after one month and still no side tables, I decided to reach out to "customer service." Customer service is a voicemail that tells you to reach out online for chat or email. Chat is disabled and I never received any emails back. I finally contested the purchase with Amex BECAUSE THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

No support if you have a problem

We placed an order in Dec 2018 for 8 dining room chairs. We were getting emails stating separate shipments so we contacted them and stated we would like for them to all come at one time, because the first shipment would arrive while we were out of the country. They said that was no problem and they would hold first shipment till second was ready. That didn't happen. Thanks goodness for relative who happened to stop by to collect mail. After getting all chairs and assembled them, there was one chair that was defective on one leg mount. No matter what we tried, that one leg sat 5/8" off of floor and chair would wobble. On Jan 10, 2019, I called and was told to fill out online request for fastest support. I did and it states "A support person will contact you ASAP." As of today, March 8, 2019, no one has contacted us by phone or email. After a couple days, I started to call and now it puts you on hold for about one minute and then tells you to leave a message or contact them thru chat for fastest service. You will not be able to talk to anyone on phone. I left messages and chatted with several people and no help what so ever. I even filled out the online request 2 more times. They just do not care after you have made your purchase. We did a quick search before our order and the one or two sites we found rated them decent. But now when you do a broader search, you can see just how bad they are rated. I would say "Stay Away" from Bar Stool Co.!

This has to be a scam

This has to be a scam. I ordered two chairs over a month ago. No shipping, no response, no update. After I paid I have had ZERO updates on my chairs and nobody will update me. I have called, emailed, and tried the "Live Chat" Several times and no response. Don't buy from this company

Absolutely think this business is a scam as others have said. Ordered three barstools over three months ago and have not heard anything. I've tried to call and email many times and still no information. Also website is now down so I'm guessing they went out of business. Now I'll have to deal with my credit card to try and get my money back.

SHAM OF A "COMPANY"

Reprehensible "company" with NON EXISTENT customer service. Have tried calling and emailing for tracking for an order I placed WEEKS AGO. STILL NO answers a week later from my email. VERY CONCERNING. Going to report them to the BBB. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE!!! IT IS A SHAME!

Longer than promised ship time with no communication

I regret purchasing from this company. Use Overstock instead and if your product is not available, put your name on a waitlist. I still haven't received my order. The company does not answer the phone. The company does not answer emails. The company does not respond to online inquiries. The company does not provide an updated ship date if a new ship date is needed. I regret not doing my research before purchasing from here.

FILE A CLAIM with the Better Business Bureau, San Antonio Consumer Protection Agency and your credit card company ASAP.

Terrible company

Terrible company. No tracking number given. Do not answer their phone or email. Wish I would have looked here before ordering from them. Put in a dispute with credit card company but that will takes weeks.

HORRIBLE!

Please, please DO NOT waste your time with this sham of a company!!!
I ordered 3 counter stools from them totalling almost $1,000. They were backordered 5 days from my date of purchase. After going back and forth on the phone and via chat with customer service, they continually lied to me about the shipping date, ended up shipping a MONTH after date of purchase. The stools were dispatched via Estes freight; Bar Stool Co. only shipped two of them, and I had to wait for the third to receive my final shipment. Estes passed them off to a local freight company who failed to deliver them on the scheduled date. Ended up driving to the freight company to pick them up and all three stools were broken and destroyed in the box. Two months of absolute nightmare. I had to do a chargeback on my credit card to receive a full refund.

I wish I could give a NEGATIVE review

I wish I could give a NEGATIVE review! I ordered a Xmas gift from Bar Stool Co. and when I inquired about the delivery date, they unexpectedly CANCELLED my order. I immediately sent an email to inquire about it and they never bothered to answer! Horrible customer service! Obviously they don’t care. I highly recommend that no one waste their time!
