UPDATE 2: Nice furniture, but beware of defective products and poor service
Please read this and the updates before deciding to buy from this store.
I placed my first order on March 16, 2024, and they delivered a defective cabinet not once but twice. Customer service assured me that the third delivery on August 1st would be handled carefully and that they would take the defective cabinets back. Living alone, it's hard for me to bring two heavy cabinets to the dump. The guy from Mobistoxx assured me they could arrange that, but when the delivery guy arrived, he said he couldn't take the defective cabinets because Mobistoxx hadn't provided instructions.
Here goes hell: I called customer service again and spoke to two Belgian representatives. They both told me they couldn't take the cabinets back due to ecological reasons and that the previous information was incorrect. I tried to explain my situation, mentioning that the delivery guy said he could take them with authorization, but they insisted it wasn't possible. I asked them to take responsibility since it was their mistake to deliver two defective cabinets. I also mentioned that their employee had promised to take the cabinets back, to which she laughed and said he was no longer with the company. I was speechless at her rude attitude. I then suggested arranging for someone to remove the defective items if Mobistoxx covered the costs, but they refused and kept repeating themselves. The second representative, who was supposed to be a manager, didn't even give me a chance to talk. I was interrupted and talked over repeatedly because their only goal was to take minimal responsibility, so they didn't want to listen.
I should have asked for a confirmation email from the first guy I called, which I stupidly didn't. They won't take responsibility for delivering two defective cabinets, leaving you to deal with their mess yourself. Either you take things apart (probably need a saw) and drive to the dump multiple times, or call someone to pick them up at your own cost, despite it being their mistake.
If they had a better attitude and listened instead of interrupting, I wouldn't have written this extensive review. But their poor handling of the situation and the manager's attitude are really disappointing and something that needs to be shared.
To improve, Mobistoxx should ensure their customer service team provides consistent and accurate information, follows through on promises, and takes responsibility for resolving issues caused by their mistakes. This includes training managers to listen and handle issues more effectively, rather than dismissing customer concerns.

Note: Trustpilot removed Mobistoxx's previous reply due to doxxing. In their reply:
1. They dismissed the issue as "just a few planks" and referred to it as a “problem” (with quotes) to downplay the issue.
2. They provided inconsistent truck pickup distances (initially 240km, now 580km).
3. They shifted focus to the fact that the cabinet is now perfect, ignoring the core issue.
My previous response:
Thank you for highlighting the shortcomings of Mobistoxx’s customer service. Writing this review has been worthwhile to warn others:
1. Negative reviews can lead to doxxing!
2. The "few planks" weigh a total of 54 kilos and are each 1.9 meters long (note that a push trolley was needed for delivery).
3. After over 4 months and 3 deliveries, you will, indeed, hopefully, receive a good piece of furniture.
4. Their lack of RECYCLING for potentially non-defective parts contradicts claims of ecological responsibility. And sending a truck just for pickups? Maybe try combining deliveries and pickups as promised.
Since you’re engaging with my updates, I also request that you remove the personal data you have shared openly in your reply. (they didn't remove it, Trustpilot had to help me)
----------------------UPDATE2---------------------
Thank you for finally providing a decent reply. The issue remains unresolved. Your customer service team’s approach was unprofessional, and the fact remains that you doxxed a customer.
