Tennessee Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch is accustomed to delivering hard hits on the gridiron. But he and his wife Lindsey could take a hit in the pocket book if a local fine furnishings dealer has its way in Davidson County Chancery Court.
Savage Gallery at 4021 Hillsboro Road has sued the Titans player and his wife, claiming the couple owes the store $86,080 for custom furnishings that were to go in their Governor's Club home in Brentwood.
According to the lawsuit filed late yesterday afternoon by Janna Eaton Smith and Robert Gonzales, partners in MGLAW, the Vanden Bosch's backed out of paying for a portion of $164,200 worth of furniture that had been delivered and wouldn't pay for $47,737 worth of custom-made pieces, one of which is a 10-foot by 12-foot bed with a 500-pound headboard. To put the furniture order in some perspective, the Vanden Bosch's furnishings cost was higher than the June median home price in the Nashville area of $181,000.
The Vanden Boschs engaged Savage in late February, undoubtedly after the 27-year-old, 278-pound, 6'4" defensive end signed a four-year deal with the Titans valued at $22 million, $15 million of which is guaranteed. They had big plans, telling Savage they had a $400,000 budget, according to the lawsuit. As part of Savage's service, a designer from the store, Jerome Farris, helped with the design ideas for the home's interior.
Other than Mrs. Vanden Bosch having some initial trouble charging a deposit of $25,000 on an American Express card, everything seemed to be going fine. There were more credit card charges. Furniture was delivered and custom furniture ordered, including the bed.
In April, plans went awry. Mrs. Vanden Bosch told Farris that she was planning on moving back to Arizona where husband had played for the Arizona Cardinals for four years before arriving in Nashville in 2005. She wanted to stop the design work on the house and return all of the furniture that had been delivered in early March, which totaled $164,200. But she still wanted the custom-made furniture that had been ordered.
Savage told her she could only return furniture that hadn't been paid for, which was valued at $39,200. Mrs. Vanden Bosch also has disputed with American Express charges of $75,000 by Savage. She then wanted a volume discount on the custom pieces but rejected an offer of 50%, the lawsuit claims. Instead, she wanted them for nothing.
In June, the Vanden Bosch's attorney, Edward P. Silva, a partner in Hartzog & Silva in Franklin, to them not to take delivery of the custom furniture because they disputed Savage's entire claim. Silva couldn't be immediately reached for comment.
Savage got one part of the custom order canceled. It couldn't, however, return the other custom pieces and now has those pieces at the store. "It is unlikely that they will be able to sell them," Gonzales said. "That stuff was made to the Vanden Bosch's specifications at their request."
