Reviews of Calico
"I have never felt as compelled to provide a review. I had a terrible experience from the start to the finish (I should say some of my issues remain unresolved because I’ve never received a reply despite several emails requesting attention to the installation issues). My fabric was on backorder for months with no communication initiated by calico (I reached out occasionally). Then when I sought a refund the shades were miraculously in production- which I don’t believe to be the case because they weren’t actually delivered until about 16 weeks later (lead time is quoted as 10-12 weeks). They were eventually installed and are wrinkled and puckered. And from the outside they look industrial and unfinished at the top. The cordless mechanism is fussy on all shades. For over $1000 a shade, I am terribly unsatisfied and even less satisfied that nobody from Calico has followed up despite three requests. Save your money and go somewhere that’s cheaper and offers better service."
"The Calico workroom did a lovely job however my installation experience was not done well at all. The draperies are rumpled, wrinkled, uneven at the floor. The installer whined about wanting to retire (he’s been “trying” to quit for 6 months and they won’t let him), that he didn’t want to climb a ladder, that his steamer wouldn’t work, that the workroom messed up etc etc. Additionally, the “designers” are really just computer input workers. They lack the design experience and expertise to properly advise. I would NOT recommend using Calico because even if the draperies end up well constructed, they will look terrible. I have to have a different installer come out and re hang these, and they may need hemmed because they’ve been hanging at the wrong angle and the fabric is now lax."
"I have a pair of Italian Rococo chairs that needed a more modern look. While the demand for the work of Calico is tremendous and there will be delays, they are maestros with fabric, texture, and working with delicate antiques. I highly recommend them."
"What can I say. If you need interior design reupholstering this is the company look no further. The selection of textiles is beautiful and can only be upstaged by the staff. The sales people are wonderful and attentive. But the crown jewel is the manager. Upon entering the store Keisha gave me a warm welcome. She introduced me to the sales staff showed me around the store and even it may recommendations for the types of textiles I should be considering. In this day and age good customer service is a hard thing to find. They are well worth it"
"Beautiful fabrics. Excellent workmanship. Poor customer service. They rarely answer the phone at this location. And voicemails are ignored, necessitating sometimes multiple trips to the store to try to resolve the simplest of questions. Although there are always staff on hand, they refer all questions to the store manager, refusing to even look up your account information in their system. If the store manager is unavailable, they'll tell you she'll call you back. She doesn't. And when the store manager is there, she promises to follow up with you (always "next Tuesday'") and then doesn't. We've been trying without success to resolve an issue with an order we placed six months ago, finally resorting to calling corporate for help. I've been a loyal repeat customer, spending thousands of dollars at a time at this location. But it's time to take my business elsewhere!"
