Studio Anise

Same as below. Over 6 months for an item from Italy that we were told has a lead time of 12 weeks. Stay FAR FAR away.

I ordered an Agape bathtub from Studio Anise at the end of August 2014, and after being promised a December delivery the tub still has not arrived.
In contacting the manufacturers in Italy directly, I found out that my funds were misappropriated for months and that Paul Anise never paid Agape.
Since December, the delay of the delivery of the bathtub has caused expensive construction delays. Paul Anise is impossible to get in contact with most of the time, and the rest of the time he is full of excuses, flowery explanations, and empty promises.
A year later, I am still fighting Studio Anise for the return of my $ 7,500 deposit. His terrible business practices have prompted me to initiate a personal lawsuit against Paul Anise and his business.

The store itself looks fine, although at the time I was just browsing and was window shopping around. I made a note of their name and went to their website which has no info on pricing or anything. I called them up to speak to the owner/​manager, he was busy and said he’d call me back but didn’t. I called a few days later and left my info and never got a call back. I was trying to give them business and they were having none of it. Maybe they decided I didn’t look rich enough to be worth their time, but I don’t see how they can get any business disregarding interest the way they do.
edit: after seeing other reviews, I’m glad I didn’t give them any money!
