We walked into the World Market in Canton to purchase a couch. An associate told us the couch we wanted was not available at their store, but we could buy it online to pick up at a store 40 minutes away. So we drove 40 minutes to pick up that couch. When we arrived home, we realized the small clear plastic piece on the bottom of the leg was missing. We called customer service. They explained they don't have the product and to call the store to fix it. That they could swap a leg on their floor model and then order a new leg for their floor model. We called our canton store to ask for help. Alaina, the store manager was extremely rude about it. She called her manager, Kristine and both said they would absolutely not help us.

Very bizarre “managing” and customer service at such a fun store. Such a shame. I can’t imagine...
Read moreWorld Market used to be the place to go for gorgeous items with which to decorate one's home thus lending an amazing ethnic flair whether it was South American, African, Middle Eastern, or Asian. Everything from dishes to furniture to artwork. Not any more. Everything looks modern or contemporary American, and the only Asian thing I could find was Pocky and White Rabbit candy. But the WORST was the shelf of leftist political and social items which has absolutely no place in a store like World Market. I will not be preached to by businesses with such one-sided opinions as if I need to have my mind made up for me. There are too many other stores who understand I'm shopping for homewares, etc. and not politics and...
