This company provides lead times of 12-14 weeks. The lead time actually runs anywhere from 16-28, sometimes more. As such, they force their sales team (both internal and external) to regularly lie to the clients pre and post purchase about being able to meet deadlines. Do not EVER expect a callback from the owners, themselves, as they will never personally return a call. It is beneath them. They want your money not your interaction. You are beneath them.

They also claim to design all of their own furniture, but they merely purchase pre-designed pieces from secondary factories in Indonesia and the Phillipines. The few pieces they have designed are knock-offs of famous indoor designs. The quality of the furniture is average at best and they rarely honor the warranty when it does break. The owner, Steve Reisman, finds a way to regularly nickel and dime the clients to make a few extra bucks. And, don't be fooled by their aluminum collection. It is of poor quality and made in CHINA not Indonesia as they claim.

They are certainly not an equal opportunity employer. Martina Reisman has noted on several occassions that she will no longer hire Black or Spanish employees, b/c she believes the work ethic is not there or substandard. They have terminated upwards to 20 employees since 2011. At any given time, they have never had more than 5 employees. They are petty in nature and tend to terrorize the employees when they are personally unhappy. Neurotic Martina Reisman has a documented history of employee harassment as she does not want to pay unemployment to terminated employees. They also are known for not paying their employees. As proof, a judgment against them can be looked up in the state of California. Petulant Steve Reisman defers to his vindictive wife as the majority of his time is spent shortpaying bills and "borrowing" designs.

These are just several reasons that they are now working out of their warehouse and there are no formal offices. This organization consists of 4 people. It has extremely limited resources and little follow through. Use Janus et Cie or Brown Jordan. The client services are much better as is the product. If you are thinking Neoteric - Honestly, go Restoration Hardware or West Elm. Same product, honest pricepoint, no headache. Also, their in-stock items are almost non-existent. This isn't a company so much as a circus.
