...(Homeowner) Luke says he refused to sign the delivery forms after it was suggested he cut off his bannisters...

That customer sounds insufferable. Might well be the fault of the company but him going on about how much his house cost (and the sofa) makes him sound like a right tosspot.

It's not much of a brag, he probably doesn't have any cash for repairs.

Also they approached the staircase wrong, you put the top side down so that you can cup around obstacles.

I would guess, homeowner Luke is ok moneywise. If that couples photo on the website is his home... a brief analysis... correlation of christmas tree and miniskirt suggest an indoor temp of +72'F; an animal skin rug is under the dinning table (expensive choice); and the couple are likely childless (displayed book titled "Creatures With Cocks").

That's on a assumption it is his home. Still, how and why Mr. Luke resorted to get the delivery guy to heave-ho-ing; it comically should've never come to that.

Or they could be up to their eyeballs in debt and any small expense sends them into credit card debt. That's sadly quite common...

I guess his wife does look out of his league, you might be right
