STAY FAR AWAY
This has been a terrible experience and it's still ongoing. I ordered a baby compactum in May 2023. I paid my deposit. And I'm STILL WAITING for my small order, it's now end Sept. My baby is arriving in 5 weeks. Corne has daily excuses. I will not let this go and am seeking legal advice. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN. Do not order ANYTHING from him.

Do not deal with them. Stay away!!!!
Awful experience. This man takes deposits and lies constantly. Excuse after excuse. Makes you feel like he is doing you a favour. Promises he will deliver then ignores you. Stay away. Corne de Villiers. Peppertree Handcrafted furniture, the old wood barn all of it. Luckily I started by ordering 1 item. After 10 weeks and finally threatening to lay a charge he opted to return the deposit.

Horrible customer service
Trying to get what you paid for from Corne is a big gamble; some people get what they ordered and the rest of us don't. I ordered two bookshelves from him in early November 2019, he promised delivery in December since I was relocating to Joburg. I eventually moved to Joburg without the shelves. I tried to organise a moving company to bring the shelves up, but he refused because "he would send them up with another bigger order that was already going to Joburg"...that was all of December to March, the same excuse, somehow the big order was just not coming up to Joburg. I got fed up and tried to organise a courier company to fetch the shelves, more excuses from Corne, he was never on site, he was not available, etc.. Lockdown happened, and as soon as we got to level 3 I tried to organise a courier service to fetch the shelves again....more excuses from Corne; he was not yet fully open, he does not have a permit, he was not around, he is not in Cape Town, etc. After a six-month run-around I got tired and asked for my money back....nearly a month later and I'm still chasing after him for my refund. Corne has so many excuses, it is actually amazing.

Untrustworthy
Stay away from these guys. I took a chance and ordered a unit, even after reading bad reviews on Hellopeter. Fortunately I didn't make the mistake of paying a deposit. Needless to say the order never materialised.

Highly recomended and great job
We ordered a table with 2 benches, a ladder shelf and cube shelving from Corne on the 4 Jan 2020. We received our complete order on the 2 Feb 2020 and must compliment Corne on a very good job. We are more than happy with our stuff and will def recommend him. We explained to him that we need the items asap for our daughter attending Stellenbosch University and he did not disappoint.

Worst customer service - just lies and empty promises
I ordered and paid for a combo shelve and cube box unit in August 2019. Not only did it take Corne until December to deliver - he delivered the product in the wrong colour and size. It took numourous phone calls, messages and waiting for him to just never pitch to even get the order in the first place. I litteraly sat at home a couple of weekends because he said he would come, then he won't pitch and not call to cancel or rearange either. Once he finally came with the combo it was in the wrong colour and size (which I realised when I tried to fit it into the space I wanted it), he then assured me that he would make a new one in the colour I requested. He told me to keep what he delivered and use that, and once the new one is made he would switch them. I asked for 60cm and the shelve is 63cm which means it doesn't fit in the space need it for. Its just slightly too big. I asked him to fix this as well but he responded with "I'm driving" and never got back to me. I waited and waited and when I followed up late December - he made it seem like he was waiting for me to tell him when to deliver and that the product was done for a long time now and that he would deliver in the new year. I then had to call him every week - many times he would ignore my calls and I ended up calling him with a different number then he picked up. He eventually told me he would deliver 2 weeks ago. Its February - after multiple calls and messages that he just ignores I am still waiting for him to deliver after he promised he would deliver in Jan. He keeps lying and saying the work is done he must just deliver. I have also offered to collect but he refused this option. Don't bother using this company unless you want to beg for things that you have already paid for. He delivered a product in a colour I specifically told him I DO NOT want but now I'm stuck with it as I'm tired of begging for something he claims is completed but still not delivered basically 6months later. The excuses range from his bakkie not working, him not being home, his delivery guy not able to and it raining. All seems reasonable until there is a new excuse every time you call with absolutely no communication or feedback from him. Absolutely disgusted that I wasted my time and money on a product that I didn't get "custom" made. I might as well have purchased it in a store with a garauntee which I would have retured if the colour and size is wrong.

Bad service from the Old Woodbarn
I saw on Market Place that the Old woodbarn could make me a cube shelving unit in November 2019 and ordered such a unit. I duly paid the 50% deposit on 28 November. I was told by the owner Corne that the unit would be ready by middle of December. It is now 2 months later the 28th January 2020 and have still not had the unit delivered. After many reasons and excuses , Corne postponed the delivery every week but now my patience has run dry. I would definitely not recommend the Old Woodbarn to anybody. I have asked Corne for my deposit refund and hoping that this will be duly returned to me. I am very disappointed at such bad service and lies. Carole Levin Carolelevin@mweb.co.za

Lies, Lies and more lies!!!
Absolutely terrible service from Corne! I pod a deposit of R1425 on October 3rd 2019. Today is two months later and I was still waiting for my two shelving units. The excuses are endless from all three ballots breaking down to he is driving blah blah bullsh@$. Don’t Waste your time with this company! They lie and tell you that the turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. And then he deleted my Facebook posts! He’s a scammer!
