Condition didn’t match piece
This unfortunately has been my second purchase through Stair of a furniture piece not being described accurately. The chest came and was missing additional pieces not mentioned in the condition report. The auction house was less than accommodating when I pointed this out, and making a new knee fitting will be extremely costly. My advice: if you can’t inspect this in person before the auction, don’t bid.

Stair Gallery hard to go wrong!
Had a driver in area to pick up on Friday afternoon. Stair has set hours but offered to fudge a little to affect pickup. That is service with a big fat smile! It proved not necessary as we picked up within their hours but it was close.. As for the chest, never go wrong with Stair everything as described. Been shopping there 20 plus years and never disappointed.

Disappointing
The description was inaccurate. The figure was broken and a part missing. When personally picking up the item it was placed in front of us without being prepared to only provide some paper for wrapping.

Bid and Buy with Confidence
Not only was I surprised to be the high bidder for an artwork from Andre Leon Talley's estate, but the resulting process of payment and arranging shipping (through a third party) could not have been easier. I am extremely pleased to have done business STAIR, which is a highly reputable auction house. I certainly will watch their upcoming auctions for other works that catch my eye.

Unresponsive after purchase
Purchased a $3, 500 photograph and have had zero replies to several messages over 3-4 weeks. No response, so status update, no merchandise. Honestly, pretty surprised and very disappointed in their service so far.

These STAIR people CARE about their bidder people...
I was very impressed with the fast response to my questions and the niceness that went along with the transaction. I only won one item but was treated like a big spender. Very professional and friendly too. Will definitely watch for their sales. Thanks folks!

Some damage to item not disclosed
This is a reputable auction house and they did communicate well regarding payment, pickup, etc. However, when I received my silk rug there were several large tears in it that were not disclosed in the condition report. It was noted there that there was mild wear and discoloration, but the damage was more serious than disclosed. I’m having to pay extra to get it professionally repaired. I used UPS store 5539 as the shipper. They were bad. They overcharged me (input the dimensions and added extra weight and linear inches to the box to upcharge). They also didn’t pack the item well, it was just folded haphazardly and thrown in the box to slide around. Having said that, the rug is still a beautiful piece and I did receive the item I bid on.

they do not ship or help to do it
All is well with regards to the auction but you are left to yourself to organize the shipment. In my case a very bad experience with UPS. They destroyed the piece that arrived very late and without communication. They left the 2000usd worth package outside the door without ringing, regardless of the weather, rain or not. Avoid UPS.
