I have had my eye on a single kitchen inspiration for years. When I finally uncovered The Burled Co. as the vendor used in the inspiration photo, I was ecstatic! I reached out immediately on Instagram by replying to the photo of their IG profile. They replied to tell me to DM them to discuss my vision. Their punctuation seemed sincere and enthusiastic, I was a happy girl!Fast forward a couple weeks later, I followed up as per their request. They saw the message immediately, but waited a day or two to respond. Upon replying, they quickly dismissed my request - claiming they do not do what it is I am asking them to do (aka: they do not do exactly what they had done for an IG blogger...)Strange. So let me get this straight... The Burled Co. took credit for the work on the bloggers website. The Burled Co. advertised the work they did on their own on IG profile. And, The Burled Co. directed me to their DM to discuss. Yet, apparently for a prospect without an IG following isnt worthy of their time?So, being baffled that they didnt just make it clear at the time of my initial public comment, yet were quick to reject my inquiry in private, I replied and thanked them for wasting my time. Their reply: Anytime!...But wait for it... are you ready? The one star is not merely for their lack of willingness to discuss a price or project (I mean come on though, there are always extra sheets left behind, why reject profit for trashed scraps?); rather, the one star is because they blocked me on social media the minute I replied to them!Extremely unprofessional and rude. For Texans, this behavior is really unusual. The sad part is, I planned to discuss a 114 slab dining room table with matching burlwood veneer finish (or however their craftsman decided would be best). They opted to lose $6k-$7k table for social media pettiness? What did you expect me to say after leading me on?This is the epitome of bad business. I wouldnt trust these people with the world! Makes sense why they have a baby following of 1300 on IG, no reviews, barely any photos of their work, etc.Years Ive wanted this look. Weeks Ive been planning based on the hope they gave off the initial response. And seconds it took for them to be immature cowards.Photos included.
