**** Artist Beware!!
Ordered a compactum from Corne and 2 month later still waiting for it. I’ve called him numerous times and have asked for a picture and nothing has been sent. He is quick to take your deposit but to produce the final product is an issue! Please beware he seems to be a massive ****mer cause to date I have received nothing.

Waste of time and money
Would strongly discourage doing any form of business with Corné or the old pepper tree. The only thing you can expect is the epiphany of poor service and being scammed Like other previous "victims" state in the reviews,it seems you are baited in paying the deposit and receiving nothing but a poor excuse or an empty promise for your money. I guess there's a reason that the facebook review of the page/company has been turned off.

THE SAME OLD PEPPERTREE SCAM
BEFORE you read my review, please read the other reviews. It is the same playbook. On 7 January 2023 I placed an order for a cross cut table at the cost of R2200. I made had to make an immediate payment / deposit for to ensure the order will go into production. I should have know something is not right when I asked him why the price was different from the adverti*****t on Facebook. The owner's answer was that FACEBOOK were responsible for not changing the ads they run and display the increase prices. This week we'll be going into 2 months / 8 weeks and I have not seen a photos of the table in production (as requested), I have heard excuses about load shedding, excuse about the coating that needs to dry. The owners had the audacity to remind me how lucky I am because any other place, like Coricraft will take much longer. I am going to try and get my deposit back, which is unlikely, but I want to make sure no one every has to conduct business or need to deal with the business owner. I understand circumstance, but I don't accept lying.

Do not buy furniture from Old Peppertree Handcrafted Furniture!!
Ordered a 4 draw compactum last year January (2022) and yet to receive the correct product after many empty promises!! I would not recommend The Old Peppertree. I ordered a plain white compactum beginning of January and was told that it would take 3 weeks to produce. When querying when it would be ready, I kept receiving excuse after excuse as to why it was not yet ready after I had paid the deposit. Eventually in March 2022 (more than two months after placing the order) my husband and I drove to Corne's place of business to collect the unit as my baby was due to arrive the follow week and I required the compactum. The unit that had been produced was white and wood, not plain white as per the brief. Corne requested payment and said that he would deliver the correct unit the follow week. My husband and I contacted Corne numerous times to follow up and each time there was an excuse yet again! My little one will be 1 years old next month and we still have not received the correct unit. Corne is very good at securing the business and getting an invoice through for the deposit, but very poor in following through in producing the product on time!! Extremely unhappy with the service received from Corne from Old Pepper Tree!!!

Avoid Old Peppertree furniture.
Ordered and paid for a compactum on the 24th of July. Corné promised the project would be completed in two weeks. After 2 months filled with excuses and Corné being unable to even send us a picture of the cupboard we eventually asked for a refund. To date the refund has not been received as more excuses have followed. Here with a list of excuses he has used on us. If he has used one or more of these with you be aware. - Bad weather so he can’t apply final coat of paint - Bad weather causing paint to take long to dry - As a result of bad weather paint made bubbles and he had to repaint - Can’t work on compactum due to load shedding - His choice of courier is unable to deliver to us (later directly confirmed with the courier that this was not the case) - Drawer bracket broke and he has to order a new heavy duty bracket - Suppliers do not have brackets - He is 3 hours drive away from warehouse and cannot complete the cupboard - They don’t work on Fridays so we can’t arrange for collection - He did not get a chance to drive to his workshop as he was busy with other work - Claimed to pay a full refund but insisted it would take 3 business days to reflect in my account - Claimed to pay a full refund but accidentally did not release the payment and therefore it did not show - Claimed that he could not pay us because he was owed money - Claimed the people that owed him money did not pay on time and he could not refund us Now Corné is simply not paying and we have been forced to go the legal route. He has switched off Reviews on his page, possibly to hide all the bad reviews. So take this as your warning not to do business with Old Peppertree Furniture.

Avoid this company and Corné De Villiers at all costs. Ordered and paid for Compactum on 24th of July. Corné promised delivery would take two weeks. After 2 months of excuses and Corné Not even being able to send a picture of the cupboard we asked for our money back. He refunded a small portion but we are still waiting for more than R2,000.00 Excuses for the refund are as abundant as his excuses for the product. He deletes comments on his facebook page and was agressive with my wife after she posted on his page. He has ignored Lawyer letters and as such we are busy taking up legal action just to try and ensure he cant catch any one else. Herewith a list of excuses used on us: - Bad weather so he can’t apply final coat of paint - Bad weather causing paint to take long to dry As a result of bad weather paint made bubbles and he had to repaint - Can’t work on compactum due to load shedding - His choice of courier is unable to deliver to us (later directly confirmed with the courier that this was not the case) - Drawer bracket broke and he has to order a new heavy duty bracket - Suppliers do not have brackets - He is 3 hours drive away from warehouse and cannot complete the cupboard - They don’t work on Fridays so we can’t arrange for collection - He did not get a chance to drive to his workshop as he was busy with other work - Claimed to pay a full refund but insisted it would take 3 business days to reflect in my account - Claimed to pay a full refund but accidentally did not release the payment and therefore it did not show - Claimed that he could not pay us because he was owed money - Claimed the people that owed him money did not pay on time and he could not refund us So if he has used any of the following excuses on you, don't waste your time any further. You have been scammed. I have made contact with several disgruntled clients to help with our case, and it seems he follows the same routine everytime.

Avoid Old Peppertree and Corné at all costs
Avoid doing business with Corné and old Pepper tree at all costs. Ordered a compactum from him in June. Several promises and tall tales blaming suppliers, load shedding and the courier for why the product was not finished. Eventually asked for our money back in September after which several more excuses followed. Have now had to resort to going the legal route as Corné is just blatantly lying about making payments. If you work hard for your money I would recommend you avoid doing business with skelm Corné as you will definitely lose your money.
