Rollo / Groscost Enterprises

This Guy, (Art) always posting very chip furniture on the Craigslist (To get more customer), once you go there his office, he trying to force you buying the furniture which very costly and its totally different from Craigslist posting. Even if you don’t buy then he going to mad on you (He trying to force you to buy the furniture) Please STAY AWAY from him. He also has another shop in Schaumburg, it’s name PMD Furniture
Also stay away from PMD Furniture in Schaumburg as well, Illinois.

I went to Art for a friend, and put down a deposit. In the meantime, that friend ended up purchasing their own items. I put the deposit down in October, and he would not refund it. He didn’t mention that it was not refundable until AFTER he ran the card. It was all in the same day and all he had to do was VOID the transaction. It wouldn’t have cost him a cent.
However, the one good thing was, that he kept my deposit and kept calling me about it to apply it to another purchase. My husband and I bought a bunk bed and mattresses (which unfortunately I just read about today!). The mattresses came in quickly, the bunk bed took WEEKS-​and also came with no directions. He would call and check in with us, but it all seemed very off. My husband thought he was stealing our money from the get-​go.
I do not believe he delivers– we asked about it after the fact and he came up with some BS story. He also gave us a short window for pick up because he didn’t want his «garage door» open with customers there. My husband thought he was treated really poorly for being a customer. The guy is an ass, and he is very rude. No customer service. (Also– why does he only allow one customer in at a time??!) He is very rude, arrogant, creepy, etc. Everything everyone else has said. So far our mattresses and bunk bed are holding up (only had them a few months). I will post again if anything happens. We feel we have fair quality considering we paid about a grand for a twin, full, king and bunk bed (twin over full). Better than buying at Target or Walmart.
Also– His wife’s facebook page does not mention Interior Design at all. No Workplace, school, etc.

dude is running a scam be aware
very shaddy guy
you would regret doing business whith him.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY!!! His name is Art Groscost, he will say some lies saying his wife is an interior designer and he is selling overstock beds at a discount price. When you ask him what the brands are he has no clue and will just say they are very expensive beds from Macy’s. He is EXTREMELY pushy and will make you feel like he wasted all this time to show you his show room. How can they be overstock mattresses if he has to order them? He will not refund your money back no matter what!!! I am paying for mattress that I do not even have.

Very arrogant and short tempered guy. He is not fit to be in business. Stay away from this guy.

stay away with this guys, he is short tempered, very aggresive, don’t trust him. He took 1 month to deliver the product. he does not even update about the delivery. and if you call him he screams. he is crazy man. he does not have business ethics. and he can not even handle a single customer. he harassed us took all the money and refuse to refund us. beware if you are ordering from the catalog he shows something and give something else. i ordered a wooden bed frame from the catalog and when i opened it was iron rod and a head board, when i asked him to take it back he refused and started screaming on us. stay away with this men. Quality of products are very poor

The reviews are right, stay away! Art has a short temper. Thankfully, we saw the other Unilocal reviews before meeting with him. Even though the product was a great deal, we didn’t end up buying with him, since we heard it was bad quality.

Beware this number on Craigslist. 847−553−1077 — The man’s name is Art Groscost and he runs a very shaddy business. He lures people on craigslist with lies of you will be receiving the best deal on the market with quality furniture. It is all a farce. The material is cheap and made in China, but he sells them under big brands like Ashley. He is a douche bag. DO NOT PUT A DOWN PAYMENT. If you ask for it back he lies and says he used it for storage costs.

Getting to the basics this guy runs a Craigslist posted warehouse selling furniture getting them from another major wholesaler (meaning he is reseller) Nationwide Furniture Distributors Inc. The first thing this guy assumes is that people who call him after looking at his post online are either dumb or that they left their brain behind the door they just walked through, he then starts his tales about how he helps big branded stores like Ashley sell excess inventory that’s just the beginning. He shows a big catalog with prices listed on them and they he would give you half off giving you vague prices if you are buying multiple items telling that prices change the next day, the day you visit will be your last try to that those prices, he will pressure you into accepting the price. Even though the wholesaler can get the product out in 2 days he charges the whole money right away and takes a while to get the product to you using the money in the meantime. The trouble with this guy is not just the fact he is a big liar but he’s got a huge attitude coupled with a short temper, he doesn’t know how to deal with people let alone run a business. You can still get the same furniture in various other resellers which operate on the same model but for far lesser & correct pricing. The bottom line is it is a shady business not just because it is build up on the innocence of unsuspecting buyers & lies, but also unfriendly nature of guy with tons of attitudes.

This guy Art Groscost sold me a mattress that fell apart within weeks. He pitches a good pitch when you meet him, but something screams slime ball, especially after you make the purchase. The mattress comes from a company named Corsicana Bedding out of Texas (They also have horrible Unilocal ratings except for a sales rep that gave them a positive one). They are cheaply made mattresses with a «pro-​rated» warranty. Meaning you return it for another piece of shit that you’ll have to dish out more money on. They most likely are imported from China to undercut the American market and made like complete garbage.
Somethings you just can’t go cheap on and a mattress is one of them. Stay away from this guy listed on Craigslist. It’s worth paying the extra buck and to have a good nights rest.
