Buyers Beware! From the "you get what you pay for category": this summer I purchased a chair from Target. It was one of those $150 put it together ones from their Mission collection. So I have this thing like 6 months and one night I go to sit down in it and I hear a loud "crack". Upon inspection I discover that one of the wooden supports that hold the seat cushion up has broken rendering the chair useless (except for as an oversized paperweight perhaps). Now before you all start making weight jokes at my expense let me tell you that I clock in at right around 200 lbs so it shouldn't be all that hard for a store with the resources that Target has to find a manufacturer to design and make a chair that will handle my weight. Chalking it up to the "luck of the draw" I proceed to repair the chair and continue in enjoying it.
That is until yesterday morning when a second wooden support snapped. OK, one support is bad luck, two means that the chair is a piece of junk. Naturally I inform Target of their Chair of Inferior Worksmanship as I am now calling it. To which I get a "so sorry, tough luck Charlie" form letter back. Their customer service was neither quite frankly.
The moral of this story: Don't by stuff at Target. Its inferior and they don't care!!!
Thanks for listening.
