Poor quality for the price
My wife and I purchased a table and chairs from Bassett Furniture in Centennial in December 2025. The buying process itself was smooth, and we were initially impressed with the showroom quality. We explained clearly that we were looking for a modern table with a clean, blemish-free surface. We ended up spending significantly more than we had planned because of Bassett’s reputation and the apparent quality of the floor models.
Unfortunately, when our table was delivered in February, we immediately noticed significant issues. The tabletop had numerous indentations across the surface, and the chair staining was streaky and inconsistent from chair to chair. The table looked noticeably different from what we expected based on the showroom experience.
Bassett sent a technician to inspect the table. He told us the indentations were “worm holes” common in the type of maple used, and that “your table just ended up with a bunch of holes.” He said there was nothing he could do and directed us back to the sales associate. When we contacted the salesperson, we were told, “I ALWAYS tell people about the worm holes, so you may have just been overwhelmed and missed it.” We were never informed that the table would have visible surface holes — especially given that we explicitly requested a smooth, blemish-free finish. Had this been disclosed, we would not have purchased this piece.
After about a month of very light use and gentle cleaning with a soft cloth, the tabletop has developed numerous shallow scratches, further diminishing its appearance. For a purchase costing thousands of dollars, we expected durability and craftsmanship consistent with the brand’s reputation.
Instead, we are left with a table that looks worn and inexpensive, along with chairs that have uneven staining. Even more disappointing was the lack of accountability or meaningful resolution when we raised our concerns.
Based on our experience, I would strongly caution anyone expecting high-quality, premium furniture and strong customer support to think carefully before purchasing.
