complaint. Upon connecting with our Customer, located the original sale. The merchandise was originally delivered  in October of 2014 to a different address, Customer moved in June of 2016. The one year limited manufacturing warranty expired one year from date of delivery. Customer filed a claim with the provider of the extended warranty however, it was ineligible for coverage. Customer contact us and The RoomPlace in the genuine interest of Customer service, we offered a $75 Gift Card and no cost delivery towards a replacement. Customer declined our offer and requested a refund for both beds. Regretfully, we are unable to meet her expectations despite best intentions however, are willing to do a one-time voluntary accommodation. The RoomPlace will fulfill the extended warranty under the terms and conditions of the plan on behalf of the provider and issue a Gift Card to our mutual Customer redeemable at The RoomPlace in the retail amount of the Sleight bed(headboard / footboard / rails) upon acceptance of the resolution by Customer.

We look forward to hearing from our Customer and concluding this matter to what we hope will be her full satisfaction. Best regards, The RoomPlace, Customer Care Team.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted]. While this entire experience with The Room Place was horrendous, the only satisfactory element was Melissa E[redacted] from the Illinois office. She was instrumental in keeping The Room Place out of criminal/civil litigation. Other than her, the manner in which The Room Place conducts business is suspect at best. I'm just happy to be done with this nightmare of an experience and am confident I will never set foot in a one of your stores again.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/07/29) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
It is accurate that the bedroom set was delivered on 7/21/15. However, the hardware was not included and another delivery person had to come out. He arrived within one hour with the hardware, but he called the company to inform them that he did not know how to assemble the bed. I spoke to [redacted] in delivery who agreed to send someone else. The third person came later that evening to assemble the bed. Once assembled, I noticed that at least three of the corners of the headboard were damaged. The delivery person painted over the corners but the wood itself was damaged. I have already set up delivery of a new headboard.
The original offer to refund the delivery charges was due to the issue with the driver no showing up at the correct time on 7/9/15. There have been a number of issues since then. On 7/14/15, the delivery only included everything except the bed. I had to call to find out why and was told that it was damaged while the delivery men were bringing it out of the warehouse. I communicated with [redacted] who apologized for this situation not being communicated to me properly. There was not another bed in stock and I had to wait until 7/21/15 for a new bed to be delivered. This is when the situation that I described above happened. I emailed pictures to [redacted] and someone called to set up delivery for a new bed. Unfortunately, they couldn't delivery until 8/1/15 and I won't be available until 8/11/15. I would think that with all of the subsequent issues, more would be done than refunding the delivery fees. I will not accept only the original offer when so many other issues have occurred. If not, I will expect a full refund.
