Cielo Furniture Store Review

Cielo Furniture Store Review

I placed an order at Cielo’s Kramerville, Sandton branch on 23 November, expecting a smooth and timely process. However, I only received my order on 12 December—a whole three weeks later. While the delay was frustrating enough, the Mackenzie bed frame I purchased arrived damaged, making it impossible to assemble.

This has been an absolute disaster during what is already a busy and stressful December. To add insult to injury, when I contacted Cielo for assistance, I was told I’d need to wait until Tuesday for a consultant to call me back because their support team doesn’t work on weekends or public holidays.

This is completely unacceptable. I bought the bed because it was urgently needed, especially as my wife is pregnant and we’re hosting guests soon, and now we’re left without a usable bed. This experience has been a nightmare, and it feels like South African retailers have no respect for their customers.

Sales Consultant behaviour should have been a big red flag with the email issue I had when I first purchased there I really regret this.

I’ll never shop at Cielo again and will advise everyone I know to avoid them as well. This has been one of the worst retail experiences I’ve ever had.
