New Salon Chairs

When buying online for salon chairs they all look great. Interesting how a photo can hide the most important factors in buying a chair. Many of the $400.00 - $500.00 chairs have great looks but when you get them in the salon disappointment soon follows. First you unpack the box and things are all thrown together. Okay not a deal breaker but it would be nice to receive it in a box that actually fits the product. Those slight indentations will come out with time. Next you place it on the stand. Now the real test begins. You look at the base of the chair and the stand assembly appears to not really fit the chair. A few gaps where the screws hold it on. Okay so they save money by not engineering much of anything, just throw a few pieces and hope they fit. Not a deal breaker but not what you would call quality either. Next you place the chair on the base. A but of excessive movement as it simply slides on. No way to tighten. Now you try it out and the arms shake. they are tight from the factory but that lack of engineering is now showing its shortcomings. A new out of box salon chair that has shaky arms. Next you try the tilt function and it works. In fact it tilts and wobbles so much you are afraid a male client might just hit the floor if you try to use it. A tiny but of movement might be fine but about an inch of play just does not look safe. That chrome base looked heavy duty in the photo but it is really thin metal and the chrome is actually so thin it will rust from the inside out sooner than you want to believe.,

Now is decision time. Admit to yourself and your staff that you got taken or pretend it is all fine because you have to have chairs to do business. Also the cost to ship back is a lot. Small shippers pay full retail rates so a heavy box can easily be $125.00 even though you paid $50.00 to bring it in. The real decision is throw away $175.00 each in shipping and have nothing to show for it or just hope they last long enough to start making a profit.,

Most end up keeping the chairs because they can't afford to buy better especially after spending so much to return. All the refund would be is for the chair price minus shipping so they are stuck., And we didn't even mention the poor sewing or cheap cushions used on the chair. You know, the kind that go flat after a few minutes of use and stay flat forever.
