The Beast Number One
When we ordered our dining set in August, the company told us that we had to wait three months. Piang! In order for them to secure our sales, they told us that we could get (their company's practice) a temporary set. Since we would not be bringing our old Hertford dining set, we happily agreed.
It was a blessing that we accepted the temporary set. When it arrived, the original idea to place the dining table horizontally against the window just didn't work. It cramped the dining area. The dining lights needed to be re-positioned. We needed the electrician to do it and then the painter to patch up and paint the false ceiling.
And now, the blessed ugly temporary set with the hanging lights vertically re-positioned:
Honestly, we were surprised to get this set from such a reputable so-called high class shop.
The Beast Number Two
This is a classic joke!
When we ordered the sofa set, it was for a specific L-shaped sofa. It was even drawn in the invoice together with the set code number. We got a rude shock when the set was delivered - it was completely wrong. The company, in their attempt, tried to get us to accept it but we rejected.
We had to wait for few weeks for the shipment. Meanwhile, they gave us a temporary set.
This blessed ugly beast had a good ending though. When our right set finally arrived, we tried our luck to get the company to give us the two cushions. Must say that those cushions are of good quality. Yay! and we managed to get them.
We are just thankful for everything!
