I bought a travertine dining and a coffee table from Dolphin & Flamingo.
Price and Quality:
I'm a designer buying some vintage furniture for my home; I've been very serious about the quality and price, as vintage furniture is usually overpriced. I shopped around, and the furniture price of Dolphin & Flamingo is very very fair. I just received my table; the quality exceeded my expectation, and they look more beautiful than the advertised photos. Since travertine is a stone material with many holes, the dining table's top face is polished very well to prevent dirty stuff from getting stuck in the gaps; the live edge on the side also adds a natural touch to the table. The coffee table has a unique design; My husband and I love both of the tables!
Shipping:
The seller is in Florida, while I'm in Boston, and I was told that the dining table weighs over 600lbs and is also very fragile. I was a little worried before the tables got delivered. However, the shipping company the seller is using is very responsible and nice; they treated my table very gently. After purchasing, it takes less than a month until my tables are safely delivered.
My own experience and thoughts:
Before I found Dolphin and Flamingo, I actually had a terrible experience; I bought a similar travertine table from Instagram(the seller has charish account), and I paid in full. After about a month's wait, I found that that seller was still selling my table, but at three times the higher price, the seller was very rude, and I almost lost my money, which was thousands of dollars. I'm sharing my experience because I hope my experience could help others from getting into this situation especially buying online for valuable items; sometimes, it is very difficult to know if the online seller is reliable. From my experience, Dolphin and Flamingo is a trustable resource, and they have a store in Florida. I will definitely buy from them again.
