I returned the bistro table within 24 hours finding out a week later that Rober (the crook of crooks "manager") charged my credit card for $542.79 and falsified the receipt. When I confronted him on the charge he made up a story of me returning the table with a scratch on it. I got into a big argument with him, he kicked me out of the store.I have not been able to get my money back yet. He even offered to take me and my fiance for dinner if we allow him to keep at least $100 of that initial charge!!! Rober is the biggest con artist, crook, scumbag and liar I have dealt with in my life. I don't understand how could crook like that still be in a business. That store should be wiped off the Earth.

Robert told me that they just had some factories close so they have inventory they are trying to sale quickly in order to compensate for the loss, but he insisted that they weren't going out of business. he said they've been around since 1902. the lifetime warrantee on the material and frame doesn't seem very meaningful if the company is really closing down... glad to hear this before i made the purchase i intended to. yesterday, i was convinced i was getting an amazing deal. after reading this, i’m not sure if the material is really chenille or if the frame is all wood or if the springs are as close as robert claimed. i really liked the couch, so if you have any suggestions of where i can find sleek contemporary stuff that is affordable, please let me know. are they really going out of business?

I drove my and the store looked like it may have had urban / eclectic furniture of some sort that I'd like. I'm new to Utah and will be looking to furnish a home soon. There are quite a few more places in So Cal, so I need to do research. Robair will not be getting my business. Sure glad to have looked this up. Seriously, what a schmuck! If anyone else has any alternative stores to recommend... please do. Julie Thanks for the tips.

ONLY because the naive general public and local authorities allow, enable and incent him to. The endless chicanery of fraudulent 'Close-Out' sales, business name changes and inventory liquidations alone should warrant incarceration. Were justice served, this orange-skinned latent queer would be ridden out on a rail... no offense intended, dude.

That would have made my experience at Civilizzation even more tragic. I made the unfortunate decision to buy a bed I loved in that store 4 years ago. I was visiting from Portland, OR and had a family member pick it up and deliver it to me. He didn't think to check to make sure all the boxes were there and we he got to Portland, we discovered they had not given us side rails! We all know he picked up what that lame store gave him. He didn't lose them on the way to Oregon! What a nightmare ensued. They refused to help us out. The guy who sold me the bed no longer worked there and no one would help us figure out how to order side rails from the manufacturer. Hard to put together a bed without the sides! Long story short, we had to use rails from some other bed we had and make them work. The wood color is completely different so I keep the bedding low over it! I guess I could refinish them to match. I'm still frustrated thinking of the terrible customer service. How is this business still open?!! Wow, I’m glad I never met Ro Bear!

Before I saw these posts we purchased a sofa/love/chair/ottoman from civil.... We actually had a good experience with Robert . . . but now you'all have me worrying about the furniture -- is it a fake? is it not really full grain leather like he said? is it not as well made as I thought . . . just paid them $2500! would you recommend we go and get it rather than take the chance of their delivery??? wish I'd seen this sooner :( Your comments are scaring me!

There were so many illegal things he did. After having personal experience with him I believe all of the stories told about him no matter how outrageous. He is a total nutjob and I will never step foot in that store again! I worked shortly at Civilizzation years ago and am so glad that the word is getting out about what a snake “Robeair” is.
