Dalgenes Interiors

If you're looking for upholstery, shouldn't you go to an upholstery shop, meet with an upholsterer, or speak with someone who knows first hand, through experience the process and application of upholstery? Not just a salesperson but someone that's able to stand behind the work completed. Sure, I get you want the best bang for your buck... This salesperson/showroom is pimping your furniture to upholsterers, and making money off their labor. They're picking up your piece of furniture and dropping off to whoever can complete the work most cheap: so that they can make their cut. Shake hands with and support the people that actually do the labor: not the middle folk making money off them.

We bought Anderson Tuftex solution-dyed nylon carpeting for the upstairs of our home in February 2022. Immediately thereafter the health issues began - feeling like my lungs were packed with burning fiberglass insulation, coughing uncontrollably, hacking up buckets of phlegm, eyeballs and skin itching and burning like crazy. My wife talked with the owner several times, who gave vague advice about getting used to the carpet and how offgassing was normal, to vacuum without using the beater brush, etc., but didn't offer to do anything to remediate the situation. Buying a new top-rated vacuum, top-rated air purifier, and having the carpets cleaned twice and treated with a sealant didn't help at all. Spreading a14-lb. bag of baking soda, then vacuuming after a couple of hours did nothing other than clog the vacuum. I moved downstairs. My wife had no symptoms and was sure the problem was in my head. Visits to allergists and counselors (especially the counselors) were a further total waste of time and money, but did succeed in putting a ton of stress on our relationship. A pulmonologist advised us to pull the carpet out. We kept hoping that it would get done "offgassing", but I believe the problem was actually airborne fibers- and it never got better at all. After a year of this hell, we replaced it with wool carpet from another store. Problems all solved. I can breathe again and no longer want to claw my eyeballs out. This fiasco cost me $20K to fix, which doesn't count the cost of the problem carpeting and padding, which is all now in a landfill. Review is two stars because Dalgene's wasn't informed during the selection of my asthma (mild until this) or my allergy to the carpet (unknown before this), otherwise the review would be one star.
