CSN Treats All Customers Equally

Even animals!

When I was asked to review a product from the CSN stores, I was thrilled to see that they offer cat furniture. Mostly because I love cat furniture. I could care less if my cat loves it. If you're unfamiliar with CSN, they have tons of stores and stuff to look at. Everything from cookware, cribs, dining room sets and dog beds!

The only thing I've ever really ordered online before has been books. Books that come in the mail destroyed, not up to my standards, and anywhere from three to twelve weeks. The experience has rarely been pleasing. So I was completely amazed when my new cat tree was dropped off two days after I placed my order! Mostly because CSN offers free shipping on A LOT of their products, so when I ordered one of said products, I assumed by "free shipping" it meant what "free shipping" usually means: "we'll get around to it."

The ordering process was so easy too. For someone who's paranoid like me, I'm always looking over forms to make sure there's no sneaky little "and we'll charge your credit card later" phrases in tiny print hiding around somewhere. But no. Ordering was basic, simple and only took a few minutes. I liked it way better than even amazon.com

As for the merchandise . . . only one small piece got banged up during shipping, which was clearly the fault of the deliverer and not the store. And even with the small dent, I was able to assemble it fairly easy, though I wouldn't recommend doing it when it's like 95 degrees outside and you have a massively sized front window that's currently baking your apartment. Any job becomes 50% sweatier.

In the end, I'd give CSN a 4 out of 5. And that's mostly because I'm a bargain hunter, and while they have a lot of great sales, most of their furniture is still costly (to me). Then again I rarely buy furniture to begin with.

5 out of 5 it is!

I will definitely use them in the future. Rummaging through their bargain bins online will be much more fun than going to a regular store. Less violent too.
