Review of Rove Concepts


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The Good, the bad and the ugly.

Good, well built modern furniture, but the process could use some improvement.

The good: The quality of the furniture is very good and the pictures on the website are an accurate representation of what the furniture looked like. The website and customer service (chat) is very good.

The bad: Shipping. When I pay close to $400 in shipping, I expect the furniture to be placed and assembled where I want it in the house. Apparently $400 only gets you boxes delivered to the front door and there's an additional fee for "white glove" service. I don't remember being clearly presented with this white glove service while ordering. Also, who orders furniture that weighs 400 lbs and then choses to carry it up stairs. All heavy furniture should have white glove service by default. I've ordered furniture from a lot of other places with multiple pieces and it has cost me no more than $150 for white glove service (delivery + placement + assembly). I understand your furniture comes from another country but the cost to ship it should be built into the price of the product.

The Ugly: The third party company that delivers your furniture definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. They were downright belligerent and would not wait 5 mins so I could talk to Rove Concepts about "white glove" service and kept sticking the phone in my face to sign so they could leave.

Hi Ajai Hari,

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry to hear that the delivery experience was not to your expectations. We do list our two delivery options, and the descriptions of each service, at checkout and in our Store Policy, but we absolutely appreciate how these could be overlooked.

We do also apologize for the disappointing experience with our Third Party Carrier. We sincerely appreciate feedback on your delivery experience, as we are not present for when the delivery and we were not aware that any issues had occurred. This is not the experience we want for our customers and we apologize for the frustration. Unfortunately, when agents are booked for a Standard Delivery, they can be on a strict schedule and are often unable to spend extra time on site, but we appreciate that this likely only worsened your frustration.

We again very much appreciate your feedback and we hope you are loving your Porter Sectional! Do not hesitate to reach out to us with any future questions, concerns or feedback directly at customercare@roveconcepts.com.

All the best,

The Rove Concepts Team
