Description

This woman (if you can call her such), Hired us to build 2 custom sofas for her. She started off the process by telling me how she will pay and when. After a long back and forth with design and dimensions and explaining how we operate when building custom furniture, a process all my clients understand and appreciate but Robyn didn’t get it for some off reason. It sounded as though she has been burnt by many people, she was guarded and paranoid, so she wanted me to come to meet her at her home, not something I usually have to do but I said ok. That day came and when I was a few miles away because I recall she told me there was a gate to her property, I said I’ll be there soon is there a gate code or call box, she said of Steve I have to cancel sorry my friend is sick blab la bla. She would have never called to let me know. My wife warned me to pass on his job because of the dynamic of her on and off behaviors. I didn’t pass I took it and started. She had a hard time picking her fabric but finally did, normally COM fabric is shipped or delivered to us but I did her a favor and went Downtown to the ghetto and picked it up. Time goes by and I call her to let her know sofa #1 is done and I’m ready to deliver it. She then tells me I’m stuck with Covid in Italy, apparently, her daughter is an actress and films all over, this is how Robyn makes a living that she brags about regularly. She said let me call you when I’m back in the states, I said can you please pay the balance on this one, it’s huge and we have no room left. She said I’ll call you when I get home. Time goes by and she finally texts me she’s home. I said ok when can we do delivery? She then says well my house that this was going in won’t be ready till July and I have no place to put it. I said we don’t have room and cant hold furniture that long but I might be moving to a larger shop, if I do that I might be able to help you out. She then asked for a photo of her sofa, I explained again we don’t really have room to set it up we are bursting, we at that time had her 2 very large sectionals and 5 others being done. I lined her pieces up because I could not set them up in her configuration and sent the photos. She called and asked where the other section was, my shop manager, called her to explain it all there just not in the configuration. She asked me to call her I tried then left a message. She then texted me she wants to come to see them, and that she is in no rush and traveling next week still not understanding we need to get paid or caring. I said I’m sorry we need to wrap them up and deliver them or store them we can’t move in here PLUS our insurance won’t allow customers in the shop it’s a huge liability due to machinery, wood dust, and chemicals. She then tells me there is no way she paying for it until she sees it, that not policy and every single day every client pays me in full for furniture we build sight unseen, from all over more than LA even, I ship everywhere every week with no issues unless a freight company damages something. She then tells me about her daughter’s HBO show and it’s #1 and she’s wealthy and has a team of legal experts, followed by an onslaught of swearing and then name-calling. She called me a loser, thief, fucker, said no wonder I don’t have kids or a wife. She then said she contacted top designers and they never heard of me and that the jobs that I have done for huge estates never happened, LOL this woman is not only illiterate, belligerent, and a thief, she’s an embarrassment as a mother. I have taken enough of her abuse, now I take this to court. She owes me $8500 plus storage at $50 a day and now damages because we can’t work in the shop due to her stuff taking up all the space.
