Wanted to give Felix a huge shoutout as we purchased 6 Barstool chairs that ended up being too big our countertop. Despite this, Felix was extremely understanding, patient, and helped us find a new beautiful set at the same cost. In addition, he setup a delivery service to swap out the old purchase for the new one, free of charge!! Felix we're so very thankful to you and the Moderncontempo team for helping us find the perfect barstool set that will look lovely in our home. Your display of customer service was excellent and we're extremely appreciative for all that you did.
