Avoid this brand if you value your money
I am beyond disappointed with my experience with Dutchbone ( one of Zuiver brands) and feel completely deceived both by the product quality and customer service.
I purchased six chairs at a premium price from a trusted vendor carrying the Dutchbone brand, expecting durable, stylish furniture. What I received was a total disaster. Two of the six chairs were already damaged on arrival — wood was peeling, poor craftsmanship, and clearly substandard materials. The vendor sent replacements, but that was just the beginning of a nightmare.
Within just six months of NORMAL, regular use, every single chair started deteriorating — wood peeling off the edges, deep cracks, and even the leather coming apart. When I contacted the vendor, they dismissed it as "regular wear and tear." Are you serious? Thousands of euros spent, and this is what you call normal wear and tear?
After the vendor went bankrupt, I reached out to Dutchbone directly, expecting some level of responsibility from the actual brand behind the product. What I got instead was arrogance, denial, and contradictory excuses. First, they claimed they’ve never had such complaints before — then they said the damage must be due to improper use, they had complaints but not to this extent before. Which one is it then after all? No issues before or just constant denial and excuses for every complaint you get?
Their idea of a solution? A “small discount” on another purchase from the brand. Why on earth would I spend another cent on a brand that delivered such poor quality and zero accountability? I still have the wrecked chairs, peeling and cracked beyond use, as a daily reminder of this expensive mistake.
Dutchbone clearly does not stand behind their products, and once your money is taken, you’re on your own. I have never experienced such a blatant disregard for customers and such unprofessional handling of a clear manufacturing defect.
If you value your money and expect furniture to last more than a few months, stay far away from this brand.
