Avoid
May 19, 2018

I purchased an Arne Jacobson Series 7 chair to match a set we already have. The chair was not as advertised. The legs had been modified/repaired. The front legs are shorter than the back legs and the chair overall sits lower than original so doesnt match our set. Chairish was unhelpful. So despite inaccurate and misleading description (failure to disclose defect) they would not help us.

FRAUD ALERT
March 12, 2018

Ordered two Asian garden seats. Chairish pushed to switch shipping company from Fedex to BMC. Being clueless, I agreed only to discover later that BMC does NOT offer tracking. Multiple requests for assistance from either Chairish customer service or the vendor, Todd Hase, btw, have predictably lead to nowhere. Typical run-around tactics: every time a different customer support person, wrong phone numbers, unanswered calls, unanswered emails. Almost a month and a half now since I parted with my hard earned money and nothing yet. STAY AWAY. I predict that after my review someone in their damage control will post a fake super positive review. Don't trust them!

Great experiences! Buyer
February 19, 2018

I have purchased 3 leather sofas through Chairish. Each time I have been exceptionally happy with the quality of the furniture and with the entire process from bidding to the arrival of the piece. They kept me updated regularly via email and everything went smoothly each time. I enjoy looking for things on their website and am grateful that their site is curated, which means I don't have to look through a lot of "junk" to find interesting items. I appreciate that not everyone appears to have had the same experience as I have had, but it's still my "go to" site for cool stuff for my home. Thanks Chairish.

I purchased a rug which was described as in "excellent" condition. When I received the rug I saw that it was in fact fraying on one side and one end was unbound and had actually lost almost 2 inches from fraying or cutting. I was out of town when the rug arrived and therefore contacted them after their 48 hour return window, so Chairish is telling me there is nothing they can do. They are refusing to have the vendor remedy the situation. The fact that they stand behind their vendors when they have blatantly lied in their listing is unethical. Be very careful when dealing with this company.

Horrible company.
February 8, 2018

A weird and rude company.
Don't bother.
They give you the run around and it's a big waste of time.
Nothing about it is user friendly.
Stay away.

I have been waiting on a table for 6 weeks and no one can tell me where it is or when I might receive it. The seller told me it was picked up around 12/15 and they they tried to pick it up again on Jan 2. He informed them it had been picked up 2 weeks ago. Now chairish will not change pick-up date. I have made around 10 calls to chairish and plycon with no answer or return call except for their slick email that my order is on the move and they will contact me directly. DONT buy anything that will be shipped by plycon! I tried to cancel order and was told by chairish that I would have to pay DOUBLE shipping charges! Stay away.

I absolutely cannot believe that I purchased a sofa on the charish website, and was told the following day matter-of-factly by the seller that she had sold it already the previous day but forgot to take it off the site. And then she instructed me how to go about getting my own refund she wouldn't even handle it for me. This site has gone completely downhill it's horrible. In addition to me finally getting my refund I don't get my money back for 5 days. So they sold something twice and don't give me a refund for 5 days and acted like it was no big thing. Do not shop here

Sell at your own risk - we're talking 2-3 day turn around via EMAIL and then after you get a reply, it's not super clear to address your concern. This has not happened once or twice... three times to me. Sad too. We need a good site for quality items to be sold.

I tried to purchase a couch. They said that they were going to send it and they never did. Had to put a request in with my credit card company to get the money back.

TERRIBLE COMPANY
December 13, 2017

Chairish is an absolutely terrible company. We've been attempting to sell through them for over two years and are finally giving up. Dealing with them is nothing but wasted time and energy, resulting in unnecessary business expenses. Buyers are far better off working directly with the person or entity in physical possession of the item for sale.

Hidden fees
December 2, 2017

They charge the sellers 20% and then, what they dont tell you before you buy is they charge another 3% to the buyer! This fee is completely opaque, they allude to a small fee deep down in one of the faq sections but nowhere while you are shopping doesnt it say that THE PRICE IS NOT THE PRICE. Horrible.

6 weeks without payment
November 28, 2017

I sold a piece 5 1/2 weeks ago and still haven't been paid out.

This website is a joke and their "white glove" shipping is about the slowest process ever. I ship freight via uShip often and would never put up with this sort of thing.

Chairish cust service has been totally unhelpful.

I can not believe all the negative reviews here. I've found Chairish a little over a year ago and have only great things to say about it. I sold many paintings through it and bought about 10 items. They take 20 % fee which is very reasonable and low compare to similar sites. Yes, they do review your items and don't let you change the title afterwords, but that's a good thing, cause It keeps the site organized and easier for people to find searched items. You receive your money only after 1 week after buyer get the item (it's very fast in comparison to other sites where i have to wait about a month). Some people complain about long shipping time, i don't know maybe i got lucky and all things I bought came within a week. Also, as a seller I always ship next day or in a day. But even if it happens that you have to wait longer, you have to understand, that's the Seller who is delaying the shipment not Chairish. Maybe it would be good idea if customers could rate the shops they buy from, this way site itself won't be blamed. Experience with customer service was also great. Quick responses, always helpful. I once noticed i put wrong tracking number, so my payment was not relisted. I contacted them with updated info and they sent me money same day.
What I would like to be done is the option that you can activate you item after it was delisted, not do all the posting over again. I'm an artist and often send paintings to the shows, so I have to delist them and I can not put them back, i always have to redo the whole process. This is my only suggestion. Other than that I'm a happy seller and buyer. And I was recommended this site to all my friends.

I had a terrible experience with their customer service. I had a much better experience with 1stdibs. My recent experiences will likely keep me from returning as a buyer or seller!

Excellent Company!
October 27, 2017

I love Charish! Live the name and everything it stand for. I have sold quite a few items and no complaints. To those of you leaving negative comments you have to be patient when receiving larger items. That is listed when you buy that it might take a few weeks. You have to remember; items are coming from all over the world. Read the policies and procedures and you won't complain. Love you CHARISH!
