We bought two highly priced and supposedly high quality leather chairs manufactured by this company. Within 6 months the chairs faded and so we went back to the retailer to see what could be done. The retailer claimed no responsibility and referred us back to CRLaine. They told us that we had not cared for the chairs properly and stated that we should not have put them in sunlight. We told them that the chairs are in a north facing room and not subjected to sunlight. CRLAINE then told us that we should have window treatments to deflect direct sunlight.
We told them that our north facing windows do in fact have sunlight defusion treatment and offered to have their reps come and inspect. They then went silent and wouldn't respond. So, please please don't deal with this company as you may get burned like we did.

The people there are not friendly and not a family atmosphere they treat you like the black sheep of a family

I have been in the furniture industry for over 28 years in both manufacturing and retail. This company is of the highest integrity. Their fabric assortment and their marketing team are held in the highest regard for professionalism and quality of the product. Now as a designer I love their responsive customer service and our sales representative takes care of the very few issues we ever have if they arise. I wish I could give them perfect 10 stars.
