Gus Modern

I don't remember having much of an opinion about Cinderella when I was little--I always thought Sleeping Beauty and The Wizard of Oz were more interesting--but I distinctly remember being confused about that fat mouse. His name was Octavius, but they called him Gus. The same thing happens in Cats: Gus the Theatre Cat's name 'is really Asparagus, but that's such a fuss' that they call him Gus. Hm. Very curious. From this scientific research, I've gleaned that the name Gus is a way of taking complicated, fussy, unattractive names, and making them neat and refined. (My research has yet to determine whether Gus can shorten every name, or just ones that end in 'us. ') I'm not saying Gus Modern came up with their name that way--in fact I have no idea how they came up with their name--but it's an interesting coincidence that their furniture is pared-down, minimalist versions of traditional shapes. Hm. Very curious.

I have been in retailing for over 20 years and I am now the Senior Vice President for [a major department store].

Lesley C. - Laveen, AZ

Dear Design Public: Imagine my complete and utter surprise when I opened a package on my doorstep today and found the fabulous alphabet crib sheet! I had spoken with a representative from designpublic.com only yesterday. In an age when customer service is largely extinct, ducduc and designpublic.com have gone above and beyond. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The quality of your product and your attention to your clients has just won both companies a devoted new customer.

Jessica M. - New York, NY

Thank you so much for the voice message and the email! Once again, your customer service has been stellar! I appreciate your hard work at making things correct.

Michele H. - Healdsburg, CA

I just wanted to say how much I appreciated the actions put into place when my order was incorrect. You immediately contacted me and fixed the problem quickly without any problems.

Lisa R. - Matawan, NJ

I wanted to thank you so much for all your careful attention to my order. I have to say, I've never purchased anything from a company where I've felt less like a number. This order in particular (nursery furniture) has been quite important to my husband and I and knowing it is being handled by such capable hands makes all the difference in the world. I will be ordering from you again in the near future.

Amy P. - Hillsboro, OR

The Dwell Baby pear crib set is beautiful. Thank you so much for going the extra mile to send me my replacement package. It arrived today, and I love it.

Wow! I just got the lamps. I appreciate it sooo much. If you need anyone to give testimonial to how helpful you are...contact me!!! thank you!

Julie W. - Newburyport, MA

Dear Design Public: Imagine my complete and utter surprise when I opened a package on my doorstep today and found the fabulous alphabet crib sheet! I had spoken with a representative from Design Public only yesterday. She informed me that she did not currently have a swatch of the crib sheet for which I was looking, but that she would contact ducduc and ask them to send me a swatch directly. I was shocked by the speed with which the sheet arrived, and doubly surprised to see an entire sheet when I had expected a 2" X 2" swatch! The sheet is exactly what I was looking for and will be perfect in my daughter's nursery. I will be placing my order with you this weekend! In an age when customer service is largely extinct, ducduc and designpublic.com have gone above and beyond. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The quality of your product and your attention to your clients has just won both companies a devoted new customer.

Jessica M. - New York, NY

Thanks again I am very happy to have found your business you have great items and wonderful customer service from beginning to end.

Carol R. - Mill Valley, CA

Antoinette, thanks for the follow up! Really appreciate the extra time. Who can I forward a compliment to?

Arash K. - San Francisco, CA

I lied last time when I said that "Your response couldn't have been better." Because this update tops it. Thanks again.

Jeffrey N. - Santa Monica, CA

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with your company. I made my first purchase last Sunday and I have already received my order. I had a question and contacted you both by email and phone. I received an answer right and away and was very pleased with the process. I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was ordering from your company and how much I appreciate good customer service. Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend this site to my friends and family.

Wendy P. - Reisterstown, MD

I have dealt with numerous furniture companies in the past year as I have been furnishing my new apartment, and Design Public has been unquestionably the best. Noel and other staff members went above and beyond in helping me with my sofa purchase, and I am truly grateful. It is always difficult making purchases online when you can't see the products in person, but the staff at Design Public is willing to do everything possible to ensure that you are confident when placing your order, and satisfied with your purchase when it arrives.

Brian S. - New York, NY

Hi I just wanted to thank you for the great service and selection your website has. I received the Area Milano Throw and it is stunning. This is the second time I made an order on this website, and your selection of designers and products are the best on the web, you carry products that add quality to the everyday space one cares deeply about.

Hitomi K. - Baltimore, MD

I just received your Weegee pendant - its huge! What a great statement that will make in my new kitchen. Can't wait to hang it in a couple of weeks.

Larry W. - San Francisco, CA

Just wanted to let you know I'm very happy with the order I received. I love the chairs, and they arrived 3 weeks sooner that I expected. I look forward to buying more from you in the future.

Paul D. - Green Bay, WI

I wanted to contact you to let you know how pleased I was working with one of your customer service representatives, Antoinette. Antoinette was great about following up with me and always responded promptly to my emails and voicemails. She was always professional and courteous, and overall was a pleasure to work with. It was very valuable to me to know exactly what was going on with the status of my order. . . I was very impressed with your customer service and I will gladly shop again with Design Public because of my experience.

Morgan B. - Los Angeles, CA

My husband and I just got our Cortina Floor lamp and are really pleased. We've ordered a lot of stuff from [BIG COMPETITOR] in the past, but decided to buy from you guys because of the free shipping and no tax. And we have to say that the whole experience on your site is 10x better than [SAME BIG COMPETITOR]. Faster shipping and less expensive. Thanks! We'll be back.

Ginger M. - Denver, CO

Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it. Whenever someone compliments me on the furniture we ordered from you, I always tell them this has been the best customer service I have ever received.

Cara W. - New York, NY

After reading several of the comments made about the customer service of Design Public, I am anxious to express the service that I received in the past. I ordered several things from you a while back, and to this day I can honestly say that your company has the best customer service on the market. You should be proud of this company and the reputation that you have and one in which I am trying to model my own design business after. Thank you for the service and the example. I will be ordering from you again very soon.

Sherry B. - Wilmington, NC

I just wanted to let you guys know that I received my Block Party Bookcase and I am really happy with it. On top of that, I got to meet the maker, Thomas, in person since he lives in my neighborhood. He brought me the piece himself and I got a chance to talk to him. He is a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. I love the bookcase since it is well made and well thought out. The craftsmanship is superb. Thomas even gave me a good idea on a great location to place the bookcase. I enjoyed talking to Thomas and I think he is one heck of a furniture designer. Thank you very much for bringing his work to us. Until next time, keep up the good work.

James P. - Berkeley, CA

Once again, your customer service is impeccable. This shipped ahead of schedule and now we will get it when we really needed it for a trip we are planning. There are a lot of websites out there selling the same stuff ... we always look to see if you carry something and order it from you first ... KEEP IT UP!

Dahlia and Steven P. - Austin, MN

I'm only a recent customer, I've ordered the Blu Dot Rocker and recently ordered the Offi Overlap tray. I ordered the tray because I'm undergoing a small surgery next week and will be on bed rest for a few days. When I called customer service (realizing that technically I wouldn't get my order until after my surgery) and told her about my situation, the person was so nice and contacted Offi and had them ship it to me right away. I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic service and for being so considerate. You've got yourself a customer for life!

Ebru B. - Irvington, NY

I first ordered this from another website in order to save the CA sales tax. They immediately charged my credit card for the full purchase price but when I called them a week later inquiring about the order, they said it would not ship for another 5-6 weeks. I then canceled the order and placed a new order with you guys, and you ship it the very next day. You guys are the best, keep up the good work.

Morten B. - Calabasas, CA

I love these lights...and your store...rules!

Julie B. - Berkeley, CA

Thank you so much for resolving this issue so quickly. Compared to companies I have been dealing with recently it is very refreshing to be treated so well and to see that great customer service still exists.

Michael H. - Redwood City, CA

I will shop at Design Public anytime I am looking for new furnishings. Your staff is always so helpful, and your customer service is the best I've encountered anywhere! Thank you!
