Feb 1 – We visited Gardner White Furniture Shop in Canton, MI to look to get a bed collection. We were welcomed by Rick Baumstark, sales affiliate. We recommended him that people were searching for anything really particular - an ultra-plush/comfortable bed collection. Your present bed collection was about ten years old, sagged in the centre, and uneven. After thoroughly searching their shop choice and "screening" numerous beds, we picked the Simmons Rozelle. We picked this design particularly since it was an ultra-plush/comfortable bed.
February 13 – The bed collection was shipped at night. We instantly realized that our bed was significantly stronger compared to bed collection shown within the Gardner Bright shop.
February 14 – We returned towards the shop and visited the client support table to recommend them the bed that people obtained was too-firm. The client support revenue associate informed us that new bed models usually have a couple weeks to “settle” to their preferred tone/softness amounts and heat, and also to "wander" the bed out. This appeared sensible to us, therefore we chose to try their recommendation.
We used the following five months trying to “walk” the bed out, and provide it time for you to “settle” in to the softness that it had been fundamentally said to be. During these six months, and despite our greatest initiatives - the bed hasn't gotten any smoother whatsoever. It's still exceptionally firm. And remarkably, we observed there's today a drop or despair in the centre of the bed (which actually doesn't influence the softness degree whatsoever). We'd anticipate some loose after many years useful, but definitely not after just six months. This really is obviously deficiency along with a quality problem.
February 22 – We named Gardner White once more and reported concerning the quality of the bed collection, despite having attempted their recommendations. They organized to get a specialist in the future out to the house and examine the bed.
February 25 – The specialist conducted the bed examination and wouldn't tackle the “softness/firmness” problem. He did note that thedepression in the centre of the bed was only one inch, and so within manufacturer’s guidelines.
February 25 – Having firmly disagreed with technician’s results, we named and talked with store-manager, Dwane, regarding our bed problems. He recommended the specialist hadn't yet formally submitted his statement, which there wasn’t something they might do before specialist did so. He anticipated the specialist to document his statement about the following Saturday.
February 27 – We obtained a voicemail in the Gardner Bright specialist the statement have been submitted, which there wasn’t something they might do to assist us. We named Gardner White and talked again using the store-manager, Dwane, who reiterated the technician’s results. We received these choices:
1) Delay before established 60-days after purchase day (2/12/10), and trade the bed set for another. We'd be susceptible to a $59.99 trade fee, plus 10% restocking fee. *We WOn't spend these crazy costs to displace a bed that's defective.*
2) Have another “third party” organization emerge to examine our despair problem. When the “third party” arrives and decides there's over 1 ½ ins in despair, then in those days the bed could be considered faulty, plus they might substitute it for all of US. Nevertheless, they'll NOT tackle our “softness/firmness” problem – as this really is “subjective” – and so they're unable to assist.
*Although these two problems are essential and justified, the most crucial issue to us may be the “softness/firmness” problem. When the “third party” can't fix the “softness/firmness” problem, then we don't begin to see the stage in worrying with this specific option.*

To sum up, we bought a bed collection from Gardner White Furniture Shop in Canton, MI. While it had been shipped, we discovered the set-to be faulty. Upon seeking aid in the shop to correct the problem, we recognized we might have fallen prey towards the shop fraud of “bait and switch”. Possibly the shop deliberately misrepresented their product about the shop floor; or we obtained a faulty collection – for that the shop won't take responsibility for. Either way, dishonest company methods are now being utilized below, and we plan to operate for ourselves to be able to get this scenario “right”. Fundamentally, we're not searching for our money-back, we're not buying unique design bed. The end result we'd prefer to observe would be to have Gardner White substitute our defectivemattress collection using the same create & design with no flaws.
