On July 12, I purchased a dining room table and 8 chairs for the amount of $4615.00, paid in full to Fine Amish Furniture, Inc. After more than 10 weeks went by I was told that there would be a delay in my delivery date due to Hurricane Ike. I had compassion for the owner, Wes Cernosek, and waited very patiently for the next month to pass by.
Wes never once took the initiative to call me and inform me of the status on my furniture. I had to persistently call the store to even have the opportunity to speak with someone regarding my furniture. I was promised that I would have my furniture before Thanksgiving, and when that did not occur, I was told that for sure I would have my dining room set by December 20th.
Each time I spoke with Wes he just had another excuse or story as to why my furniture could not be delivered. He assured me that my furniture was ordered and paid for and that he just needed to gather up $4400 to make the trip to pick up his customers' furniture. Wes claimed that his loan finally went through and I was then promised that I would have my furniture no later than January 5th or 6th, which never occured.
My husband and I then proceded to make a trip to Wes' store on February 7th, and speak with him in person. My husband requested Wes to put in writing that he would have our furniture delivered the week of February 9th as he promised. Wes complied to put our request in writing without hesitation, but failed to keep his word. Wes has lied to us numerous times and is unable to keep his story straight. Sometimes he would tell us that our furniture was constructed in Ohio and then change the story to Pennsylvania. I suspect that the furniture was never paid for in full, or even ordered.
I am extremely disgusted with Wes that he would even try to dupe other customers into purchasing furniture from him, knowing that he has been so deceptive with his current customers.
Wes will not return our phone calls at this point. His cell phone is 936-648-3063. He lives behind the store and shares the same physical address as his shop, minus the suite number. His former employee, Rene Lucero, is owed approximately $8000 in salary and commission. He is hiding at the moment and is avoiding all means of communication. We are currently in the process of filing a claim against Wes and encourage anyone else who is a victim of his fraud to do the same.
