We have purchased many pieces of furniture from The Barn over the years; they have always had quality pieces and fantastic customer service. We've also passed the word around and told many of our family and friends. However, the customer service has lately been rapidly declining with the prices going on a sharp incline. One particular example is when we had our last straw a few weeks ago. We were looking to buy a desk, and went about 1 month prior just to look at prices. The one that I liked was $600, on sale and for $400. However, we didn't have our big car to fit it. So, we decided to come back the next weekend with our truck and buy it then. As my husband and I were discussing what to do the gentlemen that worked there said, ""you better buy it now b/c this is our last one, we aren't making anymore, and it will be gone by next week."" My husband and I knew he was just trying to make a sale right away, and was not being truthful. We were disappointed, but we liked the desk. When we went back, the exact same desk was of course there, and was now marked at $1000, on sale for $650. What!!! I asked the gentlemen who was there that day, ""What happened? Everything seems priced very high."" (we were also looking for a hutch). His response, ""we've changed, now we make our products with real oak."" Excuse Me! What were you making your furniture with last week???? We walked right out of the store and will now NEVER return. There are plenty more places to buy nice quality furniture around here that actually deserves business. My prediction, If The Barn doesn’t change their approach towards customer service they will be closed within 1 year.
Pros: Good Selection
Cons: HORRIBLE customer service and very high prices.
