I ordered blackout curtains across two separate orders. The blackout liner came back mismatched between them. Same product, same listing, different fabric. That is not a fluke. That is a company that cannot control what it ships.

Fixing it has been its own project. Replacements, a return, and hours chasing a problem I did not create.

Their support account replied here and on other reviews saying they were "so sorry" and had sent a DM to help. They never responded to that DM or my email. It was theater. The public apology exists for everyone reading, not for me.

I would never recommend Wayfair to anyone.

Wayfair took a simple curtain order and turned it into a months-long exercise in incompetence.

I ordered blackout panels. What arrived wasn't one consistent product. The panels came with different backing materials across sets, which is not a minor cosmetic quibble when the entire point of blackout curtains is that they match and they block light. This is Wayfair's core failure: they list a product, ship you something else, and act like you're the unreasonable one for noticing.

So we started a return. Wayfair charged us a shipping fee. For their error. Let that sink in. They sent the wrong product, and billed us for the privilege of correcting it. Then they sent the wrong curtains again.

What followed was hours with customer service. Not minutes. Hours. Reps who couldn't follow a straightforward description of the problem, who made us re-explain it from zero every single time, and who were frequently rude about it. There is no continuity, no accountability, and no apparent interest in solving anything. You are just a ticket to be closed.

The pattern is clear: ship wrong, charge the customer to fix it, ship wrong again, then stonewall until you give up. That's not bad luck. That's a business model.

Never again.

Anyone have any experience with King's on Market in DT Riverside? Is it a legitimate place and good?

I want to preface this by saying this is not engagement bait or meant to be inflammatory. I'm genuinely interested in how my reaction was so disparate from what I had heard. TLDR at end but I make my case with evidence here.

To that end, I'll say Connor's Wedding and Logan's Funeral are both great episodes and I enjoyed them, but I didn't find that Season 4, as a whole, was as immensely incredible or a satisfying end to the show as a lot of people seemed to feel it was.

I felt put off by a few things. The show ran the same loop it always ran to start. The kids get within arm's reach of real power, scheme, and get crushed, and by the fourth season that narrative was predictable enough that a lot of the tension was structural rather than genuine suspense.

Sure, Logan dies in episode 3, but a chunk of the back half is the siblings flailing in a way that's thematically intended but can feel like the show is spinning its wheels. The political material, especially the election episode, was shakier than the family stuff and didn't feel particularly character driven so much as ideological archetypes. None of the characters changed or grew in any way that felt meaningful. I get that their lack of growth or change is part of the point, in some sense, but I'll just say when no one changes or grows it can make for some dull television. Even the illusion that they could grow or change in the first few seasons was better than this stagnant thing where Kendall thinks he's the guy, Rom is the weird insufferable dweeb, and Shiv is the conniving daughter with a chip on her shoulder.

Most of all, I also just found that Lukas was not a particularly compelling character to drive in as the main antagonist. He's not an interesting person to me, though perhaps if he had been more deeply developed, he might've been. Instead, he just sort of rings off to me as a new-age provocateur who I am supposed to find edgy but it sort of just falls flat. You can argue he's based on someone like Musk and Ek, and that's exactly what they're going for, but even the people upon which this character are based seem more multi-faceted and complex than Lukas is written.

In good faith argument I'll agree that the finale's thesis lands. None of these people were ever going to be okay or get better. That's earned. The best-TV-ending-ever noise around it just did not even come close to the hype for me.

TL;DR: Season 4 of Succession didn't live up to the hype for me. Two great episodes (Connor's Wedding, Logan's Funeral) aside, it ran the same predictable loop, no one grew in an interesting way, and Lukas was a flat antagonist. The finale's point lands, but the best-ending-ever noise didn't come close to my expectations.
