text: I love design so I used to check out Barami for highend furniture somewhat regularly It is a massive store with enticing eye candy They are known for doing Made in China knockoffs of highend furniture ie a replica of design couch that is normally may be Unfortunately however the staff does not have much knowledge of design so they cannot tell you what the pieces are replicating But if you have any knowledge of design yourself you will quickly recognize the pieces that are knockoffsnnIt took me too long to realize that there is little to no workmanship in Baramis products First we bought a couch that looked amazing but came apart in less than two years Same thing with a chaise lounge The fabrics staples popped off the couch on their own I bought a desk that wobbled because the legs were uneven We bought stools that once we brought them home noticed they were made unevenly I bought a decorative and expensive light fixture for the kitchen but several of the pieces fell off on their own Such poor quality We kept everything we bought at Barami and tried to fix them ourselves because we would already paid so much for them But the kicker was a plexiglass folding chair that I bought and which looked fantastic just sitting in my office so I seldom used it One day though while I did happen to be sitting on it at my computer doing nothing out of the ordinary the seat of the chair completely snapped in two It is not like I am a heavy person so it must have been a manufacturers defect but a dangerous one as I fell straight onto my tailbone ouch I informed the staff so that they would be aware of the defect for future buying and I asked the staff if there was anything they could do about it ie a repair an exchange a refund etc and they nonchalantly said no As one salespoerson told me it is not like a massive factory like Barami needs to worry about one persons little chair nnEverything looks great at Barami but it is more for people who do not want to actually use their furniture but just keep up appearances Maybe perfect for people who assemble showrooms in condos I will not buy anything there again though as I would be better off getting something cheaper and more typical looking even from IKEA which believe it or not is of better quality than Barami
