I bought an antique coffee table via eBay from Ann Degolian, Principal at St Simons Beach Rentals LLC based on the exact description below:
Our industrial cart coffee table is IDENTICAL to the one sold at Restoration Hardware for $995 plus tax and S/H, but ours is priced at $645 and there is NO tax. Please look at their website and compare to ours.
An early 1900s industrial original made from solid white oak was once used to transport furniture, fabric and supplies across the factory floor. Each table is a unique, distressed cart and so no two are alike. Slight variations is size may exist. Cast iron wheels are operational. Bolts and end plates are cast iron. We have very limited quantities of this table.
What arrived was a poorly made replica that was made in India. It is false and misleading advertising. It IS NOT 'IDENTICAL to the one sold at Restoration Hardware' as stated. Additionally, it is not 'an early 1900s industrial original made from solid white oak', but a recent poorly manufactured replica made in India. The table also had a broken bracket securing one of the large wheels. I have emailed Ann Degolian numerous times regarding the issues, yet she steadfastly refuses to specifically address my concerns and issue a refund. I have her fraudulent eBay advertisement and will pursue this through to the end as a matter of principle. In the meantime, I don't want any other victims to get scammed by Ann and St Simon Beach Rentals.
