In a statement to Hezel, a West Elm PR representative explained that her critical feedback was greatly appreciated. The statement read:。 "... I want to assure you that this information is taken very seriously. Every inquiry received is reviewed and submitted to our executive team and buyers in the specific area. It’s important to know that not all situations are like yours and we handle each of them case by case. We take necessary measures, internally, as we see fit. In this case Ms. Hezel, we deemed it was best to remove the Peggy sofa from our website." 。 In addition to removing the furniture from the website, the company is now offering Peggy owners "a full refund or replacement of orders placed in the U.S. and Canada after July 2014."。
