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 wasn't going to say house -poor....
I guess his wife does look out of his league, you might be right
