  Worst $15,000 I ever spent! I was extremely disappointed in the quality and look of the curtains and shades we purchased. They were wrinkled and of poor quality. I was especially disappointed by the lack of customer support we received trying to get the items corrected. Once the manager received the payment and paperwork signed there was no concern about our satisfaction. We got what Calico wanted to give us not what we asked for. Extremely disappointing.

  Stay away from this place! They misrepresent, give poor adviice, make poor quality window treatments, and refuse to correct their mistakes. When our expensive drapes arrived, they were very wrinkled and looked terrible (and they left us the mess from the installation for us to clean up). They looked nothing like it did in the store and completely ruined the look of our formal rooms. The store manager claimed that they could not press them because of the type of fabric that was used. We picked from the fabric from swatches that were provided to us by them. The only thing they offered was for us to buy new curtains made from a different fabric and pay for them! So, the solution for their mistake was for us to purchase six new lined drapery panels at our expense (would cost thousands of dollars). they refused to fix the issue or replace the window treatments. Worst customer experience we’ve ever had!

  I used the Calico in Arlington, Virginia. Ive been going there for years, bought some material to self upholster a few small items...they have such beautiful fabric. Years later, this past fall, I went in for a new sofa. I worked with Ann who was super knowledgeable and shared her wisdom and design magic. I bought some material for an ottoman as well (Ann's suggestion on the design and color) loved it !! However, the sofa I picked had some issues when it arrived. They worked with me and returned it for a different sofa size, different material. I got the new sofa but it wasnt filled enough in the seats. Ann was amazing, she suggested to order extra fill cushions and they arrived pre covid....I've been waiting these last few months to find the time once they re- opened and so glad I did ! They are just what the sofa needed. Great suggestion Ann ! Ann and Jane worked hard to make my experience at calico a smooth and pleasant one and I give them top ratings A+! Ann has been in design for over 25 years she us the one who listens and works with you...she is not shy to tell you if your moving in the wrong direction with color or style. She stated in my budget and focused on the final outcome. Great experience! Thanks !!

  I went into Calico Corners looking for 2 roller shades to use behind bedroom window valances. Later, the Hunter-Douglas subcontractor was sent to my home to examine and measure our windows for Calico Corners. Once the shades arrived, they could not be properly installed, so the subcontractor disassembled the shades and devised a hanging method not in accordance with the Hunter Douglas instructions. He left half the parts provided by the manufacturer on our kitchen counter, charged us $85.00 for his efforts and left. Calico Corners charged us $539.50 for shades that are totally inappropriate. I suspect the salesperson was not familiar enough with the product she recommended to realize the problem. I have repeatedly called Tonya Jordan-Pharr, the Calico store manager, but she has not returned my messages. By taking time to post this experience, I hope others can avoid Calico Corners and save themselves a lot of wasted time and money.
