*Consumer Comment: WOW!. that really IS a FULL SERVICE furniture company. *General Comment: Furniture that I bought from this company.

I purchased some furniture via the Internet from Adam & Sons a couple of months ago. The item looked like it was packed well from the original shipper in China, but when I unpacked it, it was broken. Unfortunately it was damaged beyond repair. I foolishly paid using a credit I had on PayPal and, therefore had no buyer protection or credit card fraud protection. 


I've spoken to Alan Adams (the owner) on the phone numerous times and he assured me that they would contact their insurance company and resolve the problem. Every time I spoke with him, I felt like Alan was being attentive, so I never suspected that I was actually being scammed. After two months, we agreed on a partial refund. I allowed a compromise because it was starting to look like it was either a partial refund or a total loss. We agreed on an amount and Alan agreed to send me a refund. He never did. Now, as one would expect, my phone calls go unanswered. I'm out nearly $1400. 

I would urge anyone considering doing business with Alan Adams and/or his company Adam & Sons to do themselves a favor and stay away.

I am sorry to hear about yr problems w/this company.   I purchased a Barcelona chair & ottoman from Alan using eBay (& PayPal) & was extremely pleased w/what I received.  The quality was exceptional & we hope to use this for a long time.
Having said that, I did have to wait for this product for many months due to shipping issues from China, which were out of the seller's control & I was kept informed about these problems.  (The items were packed so well that it took 20 mins to uncover the furniture & there was no glass to break).  

After things are packed well & sent, it is the shippers' fault if things are damaged & u should get a refund from their insurance company.  I don't know whether u tried calling the insurance company yourself.   At any rate, I am sorry about yr experience & hope that this will eventually be resolved.  I would hate to be out that money.  This company is far from all bad, but I do understand your position.  Good luck.
