Calicosy bed: nice idea but poorly executed in the factory
I ordered a bed through FonQ.nl. The bed is from Calicosy and folds up for storage. Delivery was within the stated timeframe, and upon first glance at the components, everything seemed fine. Unfortunately, the opposite was true when assembling the bed. Several parts were a bit crooked or didn't fit together well. However, this was something we managed with a bit of effort. Until we arrived at the installation of the bed's center beam. This beam should have holes in it to accommodate the rubber pins for the slatted frame spacers. It should also have holes for the support legs. However, the center beam in my package didn't have a single hole. I contacted customer service, and thankfully, they responded very quickly; they apologized and said they would send a new beam as soon as possible. After not hearing anything for a few days, I contacted them again to ask when the beam would be delivered, as I'd been without a bed for that entire time. Then came the message that it was no longer in stock. Great, so I had to contact them myself to find out. The solution they offered was to return everything or keep the bed as is and receive a 40% refund. With some improvisation using a metal drill, we managed to drill holes in the beam and decided to keep the bed and get the 40% refund. However, when we continued assembling the bed, it turned out that part of the mechanism that opens and closes the bed was completely immobile. We tried everything, but it wouldn't work. It also turned out that a hole was missing in another beam. We've since emailed about the option of a 40% refund and are still awaiting a response/refund. We also mentioned that the mechanism doesn't work either. To end things on a positive note: it's a nice looking bed that seems quite sturdy. Customer service has also responded quickly (so far) and offered a solution for the middel beam problem (40% refund or 100% refund and return the bed). The delivery also went as expected.
