Transaction idéale . Le vendeur a livré les fauteuils lui même des Pays Bas et m’a aidé à les monter au 5 eme étage ( ascenseur trop petit). À recommander fortement 🔥

Très bonne communication, Très bon emballage. Livraison rapide. Attention le livreur a laissé la lampe sans surveillance sur ma terrasse devant ma porte durant mon absence. Elle aurait pu être volée!
