Oh where to begin! When I give someone a budget I expect they will honor it. Well, not in this case. After we spent thousands on design fees, the quote for the furniture and rugs exceeded our budget by 33%. When questioned, Jim replied… “Oh, the budget for decorating never includes design fees, tax, or delivery”. Wow, that would have been nice to know upfront. In all my business dealings a budget is a budget.Our issues started early and continued almost 18 months Jim came up with 5 designs for our great room. Of course, we paid for this in design time. We spent hours going thru magazines to show Jim what our taste in decorating was. We wanted “comfortable and classy”, what he came back with looked nothing like what we had asked for. Clearly, he didn’t listen but was happy to charge us for more time spent on design.The furniture he quoted was overpriced even with the “designer discount” as I found it less expensive online. When we informed Jim that we would order some furniture ourselves he told us he strongly advised against it stating the problems that can arise that often need attorneys to get involved. Well, the opposite happened, our online orders were handled very well with strong communication and delivery included in our pricing.In addition, when the first set of chairs, ordered thru Ireko, arrived they were damaged, then again 5 months later when the “repaired” chairs were received, once again they were damaged in different places. So much for careful inspection before we came to pick them up…oh, I forgot, the freight charged is to a storage facility, not to your home. That is an extra delivery charge.I have been in business for 48 years and have never felt such abuse and condescension.Services: Interior decorating

Bad experience here for us. Started well but went down hill fast. We would not do business again after some uncomfortable revelations.

I have shopped in Ireko for many years and have purchased the most wonderful, lasting and unusual pieces for my home in Stanford, CA
