retchlow 7 Report post Posted June 15, 2013 And we bought our sofa and tv console from Commune:My wife and I would like to thank Vannesa for suggesting Commune at Defu Lane. Didn't know they've got hidden gems. We were actually not so keen on Commune as the items on display at Millenia is pretty limited.Despite RetchLow's not so pleasant experience with Commune, we have decided to take the risk and purchased our sofa and tv console from them (and yes the sofa has buttons ! ). Reason is that we have realised it wasn't easy for us to find a simple, comfortable and yet good looking sofa. We have actually short-listed a few, and there was still something wrong somewhere.1) Sofa:These were the ones we have initially shortlisted :Secret sofa & Humphrey :Yes its quite pretty. But definitely not comfy. I wanted something where i can throw my butt on after a hard day at work (my butt isn't big to begin with). However it was way too hard for our liking, though my wife's best friend told her that sofas are not meant to be comfy. And there was something wrong with the design. Maybe it doesn't look "timeless" ? Or its not "clean" enough for our liking?Franc franc Couleur Sofa:Sofa is actually comfy and has 'clean lines'. We would have settled on this if we hadn't stepped into Commune.So we went to Commune and ended up with :We were the first customer at Commune, and the moment my wife stepped in, she pointed that out to me. As you all may know, I've got weird taste (bad) occasionally and it took me a while to warm up to the sofa. The first thing i did was to plunge onto it, and yes it's bouncy When making payment, we actually reminded the sales person to take note of the buttons and ensure they're properly sewed. Could tell he was trying very hard not to roll his eyes.LOLOLOLOLOLOL. i broke out in laughter. omg...yes, this is the same sofa that i bought! the buttons fell off. now waiting for more to fall off so that i can glue them back. WAHAHHAHHAH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarah833 3 Report post Posted June 16, 2013 why not give them a call ask them to strengthen the ?stiching instead of anticipating the buttons to fall apart? The design of this sofa iis quite timeless I am sure Commune will be happy to fine tune it to make it more lasting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even mentioned about this negative feedback in the forum. The manager/sales just gave me "don't fuss over small stuff look". It's usually like that when buying from so called "the bigger players".

sarah833 3 Report post Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) If the button fell off from a shirt I bought from cotton-on, H&M, Mango I wont make a fuss, but if I pay a premium for the shirt from a more upmarket shop I will make sure my concern is being addressed As I told my main contractor renovation can be quite a tiring process,. I will be very bo-eng if I have to take care of all the small fixes myself Oh I ordered a TV console similar to yours before I started on reno, but I changed my mind and used back the 10 year old bookshelf/display shelf-turned-TV console (get the shop to chop off the legs) as it matches my old dining table and mirror better. The height is not ideal for watching TV from sitting on the floor but it is perfect for watching on the sofa, dining area and from my bed Need more books/magazines and a cable tidy kit to tidy up the mess behind the shelf :-) Edited June 16, 2013 by sarah833 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what happened to the tv console you initially ordered ? Can be refunded ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
