Zdressers have Zarrived, after a bit of Zstress
Finally, the dressers for the master bedroom that I ordered in April from ZGallerie arrived. I was at work when they called and asked if they could swing by a day early and deliver them. Thankfully Adam was home recuperating from surgery. I then got a call a about a half an hour later: "They don't fit up the stairs." Son of a...godd(@*#&@(*&...
I feared this might be an issue when I ordered them and learned that they'd be arriving already assembled. After some cursing, Adam and I decided to tell them to just put them back on the truck. I got on the phone with ZGallerie and began processing the return, grumbling when I learned I had to eat the delivery fee PLUS a 10% restocking fee. But then I got a text message..."Success!! We found a way!!" whew. I promptly cancelled the cancel.
I love them, they're well made and super study, and fit in the space perfectly. I need to push them close together but they're really freaking heavy and I may need assistance from a gentleman caller, as Adam's currently incapacitated for the time being.
We've had the not-fitting issue with various other pieces of furniture before, but I maintain that the delivery people just need to think a little more creatively. I'm sure other bungalow owners have to deal with this a lot, with our narrow stairs and what not. What do you do, just measure, pray, and tip handsomely?
