I
recently
purchased
a
Hershel
Counter
Stool
in
store
during
the
recent
15%
off
sale
they
had.
Once
it
arrived
they
called
me
to
come
pick
it
up.
I
took
the
boxed
stool
home
and
when
I
opened
it
up,
it
was
not
the
same
finish
as
the
2
other
stools
I
had
previously
purchased.
I
brought
photos
in
the
next
day
and
the
helpful
sales
associate
arranged
an
exchange
and
I
would
bring
the
other
one
back
the
following
Thursday
24th.
On
Wednesday
23rd
I
received
a
call
from
the
store
asking
if
I
wanted
to
keep
the
stool
I
had
and
get
an
additional
20%
off
since
it
was
defective.
I
passed
on
the
deal,
for
the
money
I
was
paying
I
wanted
it
to
be
right.
On
the
24th
I
brought
the
stool
I
had
(in
the
box)
back
to
the
store
and
carried
it
to
the
sales
desk.
The
sales
associate
then
took
it
to
the
back
and
brought
out
the
replacement
stool
in
its
box.
I
asked
if
we
could
open
it
up
to
make
sure
it
was
correct.
While
we
were
unpacking
it,
the
Store
Manager
brought
out
the
one
I
was
exchanging
and
said
she
wanted
to
see
the
difference
because
she
saw
nothing
wrong
with
the
one
I
was
returning.
This
was
something
she
could
have
done
in
the
back
instead
of
trying
to
call
me
out
for
being
wrong
in
front
of
everyone
in
the
store.
Of
course
the
new
stool
was
the
same
as
the
one
I
was
returning
which
is
not
the
same
finish
of
the
ones
I
had
previously
purchased,
nor
was
it
the
same
finish
as
the
floor
model
several
feet
away
from
us.
The
Manager
claimed
the
girl
who
did
the
exchange
the
week
before
told
her
the
stool
was
discolored
(it
wasn't).
I
explained
that
it’s
not
discolored,
its
missing
the
coating,
or
sealant
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
It
had
a
matte
rough
finish,
with
extremely
deep
grooves.
Her
excuse
was
that
its
from
a
different
batch
and
that’s
what
happens
when
you
don’t
purchase
all
pieces
at
once.
I
understand
the
concept
of
purchasing
product
like
fabric
items
because
of
“dye
lots”
I
wouldn’t
say
the
discrepancy
with
the
chair
is
because
its
a
different
batch.
Maybe
its
the
result
of
the
popular
“skimpflation”
that
businesses
are
trying
to
get
away
with.
Skip
a
step
(final
coating)
save
money
but
charge
regular
price.
I
then
asked
since
I
had
no
choice
unless
I
wanted
a
completely
different
stool,
could
I
purchase
the
floor
model
with
the
additional
discount
that
was
offered.
She
said
no
there's
nothing
wrong
with
it.
I
asked
why
the
chair
surfaces
were
so
different,
she
said
the
floor
model
had
wear
and
tear.
A
minute
before
that
she
had
said
theres
nothing
wrong
with
the
floor
model
then
suddenly
it
doesnt
match
because
of
wear
and
tear?
Either
the
stool
(regular
price
$449.00
each)
is
of
such
poor
quality
that
occasional
usage
in
a
showroom
can
cause
so
much
filing
down
of
the
wood
seat
and
a
magic
coating
to
appear
or
she
didnt
want
to
admit
she
was
wrong.
I
did
not
appreciate
being
made
to
look
like
a
fool
in
front
of
other
customers
when
I
know
I
was
in
the
right.
If
I
was
wrong
I
wouldnt
have
bothered
talking
with
the
rude
Manager.
I
had
my
15
month
old
with
me,
I
didnt
necessarily
have
time
to
be
standing
there
arguing
with
a
rude
Manager
that
has
zero
customer
service
skills.
I
said
I
would
be
doing
them
a
favor
by
taking
the
floor
model
so
that
they
could
replace
it
with
the
“new
batch”
version
as
people
are
purchasing
these
expensive
pieces
based
off
of
what
they
are
seeing
in
stores
and
what
is
online,
both
product
photos
and
customer
photos.
The
final
delivered
product
is
not
what
is
being
advertised.
I
had
visited
Abby,
Langley,
South
Surrey
and
Poco
multiple
times
before
purchasing
and
all
locations
have
the
exact
same
stool
with
same
(coated)
finish.
I
am
extremely
disappointed
with
my
experience
with
the
Langley
store,
after
making
3
trips
in
total
with
a
15
month
old
to
wind
up
with
a
floor
model
that
in
the
managers
words
“has
wear
and
tear”.
I
paid
the
same
price
for
a
worn
and
torn
floor
model
as
I
would
have
for
a
brand
new
one.
I
would
suggest
shopping
at
local
Family
Owned
businesses
who
offer
exceptional
service
and
far
better
pricing.
