I am sorry I didn't check this website first, before I went to Ashley for my furniture. The sales rep dropped me like a hot potato as soon as she got my money so that when things went south, I had nobody to advocate for me. Deliveries came piecemeal, items were missing, I was promised a refund on the delivery fee and never received it, I had to wait weeks to get money for items left off the delivery refunded to me, they wouldn't let me cancel my order when I wanted to, and they just outright lied about many things. Don't go there!!

To make it short and sweet this was my 1st time making a purchase from Ashley Homestore in Gastonia, NC and will be my last. Salesman Jimmy ** said 8 pieces were available when I placed the order on 3/19/18 but it couldn't be delivered until 4/20/18 because that was the next delivery date available. No one ever contacted me so I called Ashley on 4/17/18 and the gentleman pulled up my account and, “Yes ma’am. Everything looks good for delivery on 4/20/18.” Well on 4/18/18 I received a call that the table and hutch was going to be delivered to me on the 20th but the 6 chairs were on back order but would be delivered to me on Friday, April 26th. Ok fine.
So on 4/25/18 I received a voicemail from Ashley once again. They are saying the chairs are on back order and can't be delivered until 5/3/18. So I call the customer service # as soon as I hear the message. The girl April that I talked to said the chairs are showing they are on back order and aren't scheduled to be shipped from the manufacturer until 5/4/18. So please explain to me how they can be delivered to me and set up in my dining room if they aren't going to be shipped from manufacturer until 5/4/18! Been told too many stories, will not go back!

I would not recommend the store to anybody. I have spent up to $8000.00 at Ashley Furniture store in Colonial Heights, VA. I bought a mattress from them in February and the mattress has strings hanging from it. The mattress is tilted. The mattress is sagging. The mattress is yellow. The mattress has indentations down to the metal and this is what the MATTRESS TECHNICIAN stated that they sent to my house to inspect it. I have tried numerous times to complain to Ashley. When I called and spoke with Stephanie, the Supervisor in the Fredericksburg, VA office, she told me they would report it to the mattress company and they would ask for a credit or exchange. I am a disabled Nurse and Veteran. Have serious ailments having had surgeries on my knee and both hips replaced, and back problems (as I explained to them).
I am shocked by the treatment I have received from this store. I would not recommend anybody to go to Ashley for furniture. I have been in tears for the treatment I have received and is still paying for it with my Social Security and Veteran's Benefits. This mattress hurts to sleep on. I have been sold a used or poorly manufactured mattress and I am so disappointed that a furniture store would treat anybody like this who has been a great customer to them.

BH Furniture - Furniture Stores - 22 W Landis Ave, Vineland, NJ - I purchased a sectional from this store and financed it through Synchrony Bank. The sectional was delivered with a damaged recliner and wedge seat. The owner replaced the recliner and wedge after a complaint was filled with the finance company took approximately 2 months, during the time we waited for that replacement the corner wedge began to break apart at the seam. The owner refused to replace the wedge and sent a repair person who recovered the piece of furniture.
The sectional continued running at the seams for 2 years. We have been paying on a sectional that currently looks over 5 years old. The wedge seat has detached itself from its back piece leaving a gaping space. My husband and I have no small children or pets, honestly, if we did the sectional would have fallen apart within months. The retailer has been nothing but belligerent throughout this process. I have multiple repair slips and replacement documents to prove the constant problems and damaged parts within months after purchasing the furniture.

I will never purchase furniture with Ashley Furniture again. My first interaction with this company was through an in store purchase. To say the least the employees were rude and had no sense of professionalism. They could not even get along with each other and it’s sad they made that evident in front of paying customers. Them not being able to cooperate made my experience with them more tedious and longer than what it should have been. I shopped at a different location in hopes of better customer care. It was the same as far as the employees in the financing department not getting along. Which in the end affected me again. But on the bright side Ryan treated me great on the sales floor! Very polite and patient.
But to avoid the inconvenience of some workers I tried to order with them online, just because I do find the stored products attractive. Another horrible experience! Today is my delivery day. The movers are running late which is fine, but it took way more than what it should have for me to find out just that piece of information. I called the number provided in my confirmation email. However, the woman was out and will be for the next four days. Thankfully she left an alternative number. I called that as well and I was automatically transferred to another person who did not pick up. I called back and asked to be transferred to someone different. The woman who was transferring me attempted to help but could not find my name nor my order in the system.
She then transferred me for the second time and this person did not answer as well. I didn’t call back, I attempted to track my order online, the feature did not work. I then called another number on the website and a woman by the name of Sylvia answered. Before even allowing me to properly greet her she asked to put me on hold and cut me off with a sharp thank you before I could even get any word out. Once I did she cut me off before I could finish properly explaining my situation to her. Throughout the conversation with her I was continuously cut off, put on hold 3-4 times and hung up on. On top of her impatience and rude attitude. She neither could find my name in their system. All I wanted was clarity on if the delivery was still going to occur or possibly tracking it. A quick 5 minutes turned into a lot more than what I wanted. Save your money, time, and peace of mind. They will give you a huge runaround and unsatisfactory!

If you value Customer Service go with ANY company other than Ashley Furniture/City Furniture. They lie, plain and simple! Once they have your money they DO NOT care about you as a customer. We ordered a couch and it was delivered - it was hideous! Looked NOTHING like in the store! They refused refund and after enough complaining we had to pay 15% restocking fee and pick out a new couch and pay for a new delivery. Fine.
New couch was to be delivered Monday 4/23 (written on invoice AND confirmed via email!). On the morning of 4/23 they called ‘sorry there was a mistake on our end and it will not be delivered today. We will deliver tomorrow'. Fine mistakes happen... rearranged schedule and here I am at home... waiting... guess what? It’s NOT being delivered today. There is NOTHING that can be done. They have their money and the customer has nothing. Asked to speak to a manager and was refused!!!
Why wasn’t it delivered you may ask? Because the Sales Rep made an error and didn’t close out the invoice properly. When they told us it would be delivered on 4/24 - they sent an email to Sales to clear up the issue but it wasn’t done... now I’m on hold as I type this (54 minutes and counting) to CONFIRM sales fixed the problem AND when it will be rescheduled. Trust me - save yourself the hassle!!! Go with a reputable company that values their customers. Did I mention they refused to let me speak to a manager?

Do not purchase furniture from Ashey Furniture. I bought a king size bedroom set on November 26, 2017 and four months later on March 13, 2018 the bed frame that supports the mattress broke while we were laying on the bed (my husband only weighs 200 pound and I weigh 130 pounds) and we landed on the floor. To my surprise I notice that the bed frames and legs were made out of wood. I immediately called Ashley Furniture customer service and they told me I would have to wait two to three weeks to receive another wooden bed frame. I insisted that they send me metal bed frame because my previous bedroom set which I owned for more than ten years came with a metal bed frame support and never broke. Today, as I write this on April 20, 2018 I have not receive any frame. I was force to buy a metal frame on Amazon because I did not want to ruin my expensive mattress and which was on the floor.

My warning to anyone considering purchasing anything from Ashley Furniture. On February 18th my husband and I went into Ashley Furniture. In store, we were greeted by an excellent salesmen who assisted us in finding what we thought would be the perfect 3 piece couch for our home. Delivery date was expected and written on our contract for March 1st. 2 weeks from our order. We were notified that only the couch had arrived and the ottoman and sectional part didn’t arrive and would come the following week. Since we had removed our current couch we were in need of anything for our living room for our family to sit on. So we had them deliver the couch.
(For all these deliveries about to be mentioned, I have had to be home from work notified only the day before of the time range they would be arriving) The delivery men were unable to get the couch up our stairs and brought it back to the warehouse. I was understanding of this. The following week the couch was to be delivered again (my husband was going to arrange getting it into our home himself) the ottoman and the sectional (another day I have to be home). When the delivery men arrived they did not have our couch. They were not sure where it was as they did not have it in their truck. They brought in the ottoman. And then notified me the section had a very large rip. I could take it and have a repairman come and fix it. I declined, and asked them to order a new sectional that was not damaged. The rip was very large I am unsure of how no one noticed such a large rip upon loading their truck. They left leaving with only an ottoman.
Upon closer inspection of the ottoman, this too was damaged. It had leather peeling on the corner. I immediately called customer service and notified them of the damaged ottoman and complained about the damaged section. I had to spend my day at home waiting for this. The customer service agent notified me that customers actually do accept damaged furniture often, for a discount they were prepared to make or even provide me with a gift card to keep the damaged furniture. I agreed to keep the damaged ottoman as I can hide the peeling leather. I was provided with $120 gift card. She then assured me this is not common for Ashley Furniture and they assure me every piece of furniture being delivered to my home will be inspected and they assure showroom quality. (also note, we have now been couchless for over a month with a small child and a 7 month pregnant mother).
Another delivery date is set, (another day I have to be home) for the sectional (they still are unsure where our couch is as it has been lost in a warehouse). The sectional arrives and is set up by delivery men. I quickly inspected it but has a crying baby on my hands and could not look over it as good as I would have liked. The delivery men left and immediately we noticed a hole of ripped leather in the back of the sectional. Called customer service once again. They informed me that now, they will send a tech to my home to inspect the damage. The following week (another day home for me) a tech arrives and inspects it and orders a new piece to fix the couch.
Finally, our couch is located and will be delivered (another day I have to be home). The couch is delivered and left in our garage for my husband to arrange getting into the home. Which was fine as we agreed to this. They left the wrapping and padding on all corners on the couch. It was easily brought into our home by my husband and father. We unwrapped it and all the corners under the wrapping were damaged (peeled leather) and the entire back of the couch was warped.
Again, we call customer service. They tell us, they will not order us a new couch, they will simply come and pick it up (another day I will have to be home) take it to their warehouse to fix it and then bring it back another day when it is fixed (another day I have to be home). We informed them both over the phone and via email this was not acceptable. As we also have to be home another day for the tech to come and fix our sectional. At this point, I begin to email as I am tired of speaking to them over the phone in frustration. Unfortunately, the customer service agent via email was more challenging to deal with. She ignored every issue, took over a week to respond to emails (I sent several waiting for a response) and she just informed me they would arrange pickup for the couch. Even after I told her I was unable to take any more time off for them.
I called to speak to a customer service agent again today, I even asked to speak to a manager (over 10 times) and was informed that NO, she would not pass me to a manager because they will not order us another couch. So now, we arrange a date for a tech to fix the sectional, another date for someone to come and pick up the couch and another date for them to deliver the couch once fixed. As a customer, I feel completely taken advantage of by such a large company. I truly feel the word Crooked is the perfect word to describe Ashley Furniture. The fact that, they repeatedly attempted to deliver damaged furniture into our home over and over and over and over again is unacceptable. Customer Service agents are reluctant to assist you and do not respond to emails without sending several.
You are treated wonderfully, until your order arrives. And if there is an issue with it, watch out. They will completely take advantage of you. This company sickens me. Treating customers properly and FAIRLY will ensure repeat lifelong customers. I will never, in my life entire another Ashley furniture again. I will advise everyone I know to stay away, and continue to share my story with people. This company is crooked. Save yourself a headache and SHOP elsewhere. I am thankful that we experienced this with simply a couch. We are building a new home that we will be furnishing from top to bottom and I am extremely thankful I have learned this lesson prior to ordering from them. Never again, will I support such a terrible company.

Valto sectional sofa - Ordered this sofa online from Ashley Furniture August 2017. Immediately began noticing problems, emailed Ashley online, but received no response. Contacted Ashley again in September, October and November. No response. Did a Yelp review and Deanna ** from Ashley contacted me. We corresponded back and forth, then a "craftsman" from Ashley came to my home in February 2017, took pictures then we never heard from him. Contacted Ms ** again, she informed me she is with the delivery department and could not do anything more. The fabric sewn on the backs of each section does not fit, the sections will not stay attached, the reclining mechanism makes noise, and the seat cushions are failing. I asked to exchange for a better sofa and would be willing to pay the difference. Ashley won't do that. Ashley Furniture does not appear to be a reputable company and is unresponsive to customer problems.

If you’re ordering furniture and expect it anytime soon - DO NOT order throughout Ashley Furniture. The given timeline for my order to be delivered was just under two weeks - which is not bad. But when it didn’t come in the day they told me it would (after staying home from work) I called to see why and they had all sorts of excuses... So I set it up for delivery again - and it still didn’t come on the day it was supposed to. So I called to cancel the order and they said they would have it to me the next day. I called today and they are now telling me they can’t have it delivered until next week (a month after I ordered it and over two weeks past the day they said it would be delivered).
So I called to actually cancel the order and conveniently when the lady picked up the phone she said she doesn’t work in that department and the lady was away from her desk so they have to call me back. Long story short Ashley Furniture want your money - but they DO NOT care about their customers - and to me... customer service is more important than the product itself. If I could give Ashley Furniture 0 stars - I would!

We are updating our floors and house in general. So exciting. I found a great sale on the Ashley Homestore website on March 30 and ended up ordering the perfect media chest for our primary flat screen located in the first finished room. I chose not to pay the exorbitant charge for a home delivery, instead paying $25 to have it taken from the distribution warehouse to my local store for pick up. April 13 was the target date. April 13 arrived, no phone call. I contacted the local store, was directed to the warehouse. My media chest is sitting at the distribution center with promises of it being delivered to the local store on April 20. It's not the end of the world as we know it, but how difficult is it really to send a truck to one of its own stores on the date promised? The sales associate set the date; I didn't request it. This is a DIY project, so every inch forward is hard-earned. The joy has been sucked out of my happiness bubble. Bummer.

I purchased furniture $5000 worth to be exact. Delivery day came. I got a phone call stating that my sofa would not be delivered because upon inspection it had a rip in it. I said no problem. They said they will schedule another delivery for the new sofa but my other items would be delivered. Well I took a day off to have my furniture delivered that day. Now I’m being told that they cannot accommodate me with a 2 pm or after Delivery being that I don’t get off until that time. I think it’s very unfair. I did everything I was supposed to do. I was home and ready to accept delivery and because something happened on their end it’s my fault and now they won’t accommodate me. I have to take another day off of work to receive the remainder of my furniture or get a refund.

We finally went to Ashley, me reluctantly, looking for a bed. Actually ended up with bed and couch and was excited. A month later still no furniture. We tried cancelling before that after I realized hubby never got paperwork. Storeperson he talked to said we had to wait till delivered to their warehouse. We called finance company who explained we do not pay anything until delivery at our house. Now up to date; called finance company to cancel contract as our finances have changed (unexpected emergency bills) and they got a hold of store manager who said we were responsible for paying for furniture we don't have and then HE hung up. We will never ever do business with Ashley Furniture and DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I have had problems with every piece (Living Room Furniture Set) I purchased at Ashley. The cocktail table(s) were missing parts, the drawers didn't align properly, there were scratches and discolorations in the finish, it was missing a spring, and does not stay in the raised position. This the 4th one delivered, I am still waiting for it to be fixed. The area rug still has creases that will not come out. The end tables had blemishes, and the finish needed to be sanded and re-sprayed with varnish. One of them had to be replaced. The 3rd party repair company refinished 20% of what was wrong, and refused to fix the rest. The sofa was missing the electric motor to recline, and they just replaced a torn leather panel on one side - after several conversations and requests. The loveseat has a puncture in the leather. Ashley says it's their warranty company's responsibility, the warranty company says it's not - meanwhile, I'm still waiting for a resolution.
I've spent over 15 hours on the phone with Ashley, their repair company, and their warranty company, and have had to wait on seven different occasions for the repair people to come during a 3- hour window. I've had to call over 30 times, and texted and e-mailed pictures of the damaged areas. I was promised a gift certificate good for merchandise in their store, for all I've had to put up with - but it was never sent! I said I would fix the finish issues if they could send or tell me the proper sandpaper and spray finish.
After telling me these would be sent, I never received either one! They schedule repairs, then the work orders are not complete, and all of the repairs cannot be completed - requiring more of the consumer's time, more phone calls, more waiting. The phone calls typically take over fifteen minutes, between getting connected, transferred, put on hold, or other reasons. The customer service people are pleasant, but follow through is very poor. I would not recommend them to anyone. I've had the worst purchase experience ever!

Well, this is the last time I ever purchase anything from Ashley Furniture, Shallotte, NC specifically. I am writing this in regard to their customer care and the fake cleaning warranty that they sold me when I bought my 2 couches. When I bought my couches for our beach house, they sold me an extended warranty to have the couches cleaned in the event they ever needed it. They sold it on the premise that if I rented my house out, then I wanted this service. When I called their customer care, they had me call their "Warranty Company" - Furniture Care Protection (FCP - 888-705-4001).
I called them early Monday morning and they told me to text some pictures to their number, which I did immediately. I told them I wanted service fairly soon since I was only down for a few days. They said they would get right back to me. Of course, they never replied, so I called again Wednesday. They told me that person was at lunch and they would get right back. No call, so I called Friday when I got home. Then they said they only review the claim pictures on Friday mornings. This would have been nice to know (if even true) on Monday, instead of wasting the whole week waiting for return calls.
The best part was this guy then said they would not be able to handle my claim as he looked at my pictures. He gave me about 5 reasons that they don't cover claims, like stains in multiple locations, or if they have been there for any amount of time. Basically, there is no way they cover anything or any cleaning. The whole warranty is a scam. The worst part though is the poor service from the Warranty company and Ashley Furniture, as I had to call them on numerous occasions. They never responded to me whatsoever, and that was after telling me they would get back to me. I just asked them to give my money back for the fake warranty. They said they could not do that.
One call, the office manager told me the store manager was not in, then when I said I was going to write some reviews, and all of a sudden, the manager was right there. The last thing I heard from the store was that I needed to call FCP again. Really??? I am now such a frustrated customer that I had to type this review, and I will write many more wherever I can. Too bad I couldn't give negative stars because I would. Todd Wanek (CEO) of this company should not allow customers to be treated this way as you can be sure everyone I know will be warned.

For the last week I have experienced the WORST customer service I’ve ever seen from any company. I ordered a dresser and was delivered the wrong one. I took an entire day off work so I could be there for the delivery. Then I was told they couldn’t re-deliver the right one for another 1-2 weeks! I had to call multiple people and they eventually agreed to deliver it Tuesday. I told them I could only be there in the afternoon. They said that was fine. I got a call Saturday saying they were delivering it in the morning. I said I couldn’t do that, I was told I could get it delivered in the afternoon. They said I was given “false information.” They requested a delivery time change and it was denied.
I was contacted by someone on Twitter who stopped responding to me. I was told I would be called back by multiple customer service reps who never called back. I just spent HOURS on the phone with customer service who told me there was literally nothing they could do to help AND that I couldn’t speak to any more managers or supervisors. I've never been treated so poorly or experienced such horrendous customer service. I will NEVER buy anything from Ashley again.

Contrary to the mostly critical reviews we read before the store visit, we decided to visit the Ashley store in Woodbridge, VA anyway. Staff was very friendly, and Robert, our sales person was very pleasant and professional. After a brief conversation with him, he guided us to a living room set we instantly loved. In addition, we purchased a new bed, which wasn’t planned, but due to his sales expertise and a pretty good discount, we decided to get it all.
We asked to hold off delivery as we wanted to get some painting done first. This was done sooner than expected so we called and requested to move up the delivery date. To our delight, we received confirmation that the delivery could be done within one week from our call. Though we were skeptical due to the short notice of change in the date, the delivery promptly took place (with upfront email and text confirmation). The delivery crew has also been very friendly, efficient, and professional. 10 stars for the Ashley store in Woodbridge.

After a year, and much negotiating with Ashely Furniture and Montage their protection assurance company, the couch was replaced due to the leather peeling and fading.

I bought a living room, bedroom and a dining room from Ashley and they delivered the furniture and set it up and it was great until I called the company responsible for the service plan. They kept denying my claims saying because I have moved. I felt being punished because I changed my address. This service plan felt more like an insurance coverage than a service plan you call when you have a problem. Now, the reason I gave Ashley one star is when I bought the furniture at their store, the salesperson kept saying "this is a great service plan, and they will fix your furniture even if you took a pen and stuck into the sofa" and those were his exact words.
Shame on you salesperson, and shame on you Ashley for selling a good product but with a useless plan. I paid about $500 for a "service plan" that I cannot get to get them to fix simple stuff. This is what I call a rip-off and I must let others know. I would have been satisfied with the furniture as is without a service plan if I have not paid money for it that went with the wind, but shame on you Ashley and Ashford for ripping people's money off with a junk service plan.

We sold and removed our living room furniture, shampooed the carpets to be ready for our new furniture and our bed as well.

My wife then called their corporate office and talked to Christian ** answered our question with "we would not be receiving ANY furniture till April 13, 2018", this is a MAJOR inconvenience. We have no furniture!! Mr. ** was apologetic but could not answer any more questions, so we ask for his manager or supervisor, at first he was refusing in fear that it would get him in trouble.
His manager Josh, no last name, Mr. ** refused it. We were told by Mr. ** that Josh the manager, who would not get on the phone, said the delivery would be sometime on the April 13, 2018 date or we could cancel the order, so we cancelled the order, but Mr. ** couldn't tell me when we would be refunded our money. This is their mistake completely and I would want my refund expedited so we can buy our furniture somewhere else.

Ashley furniture is stealing from their customers!!! I purchased a chair on Sunday, March 25; called and canceled the order at 10:00 A.M. Monday, March 26! Payment was $500 from my debit card, basically cash and the remainder from my credit card! I have yet to get my money back and heard all kind of excuses, including there was a holiday... Easter... Nice try, but no financial institutions are closed for Easter! What in this day and age would take over 10 days to give a former customer a refund on their debit card? And still the girl could not tell me when this money will be refunded to my account, which is now, thanks to their lack of customer service, my account is overdrawn!
Buyer beware! Ashley Furniture will hold "your" money... Not their money for over ten days before getting back to you... I say 10 days or more because I have yet to get my money. It is 10 days and counting!!! Facebook and every outlet I can think of will be displaying this message! Maybe it is time to rethink how Ashley Furniture treats their customers. Most of them will be former than recurring customers with this business ethic!

When entering the store I told Rondell I needed the furniture ASAP because I had a condo which needed to be furnished quickly I could move in. He told me he could have the furniture delivered to me on February 23rd but if he could get it to me sooner he would. It sounded legit to me so I placed the order and went on my way. I tried to call the Norwalk Store the following days, but did not get in touch with anyone until Tuesday Feb 13th and when someone finally picked up she had explained that the phones were down.
I spoke with Rondell again, I expressed my concerns about being worried the queen bedroom furniture and sectional were going to be too big for the place. Rondell explained, let my guys try to get it in the condo and if it doesn't fit he would take it back with no restocking fee and I could come in and pick something else out that would work for the space. I was told by Rondell that my furniture would be delivered Feb 23rd. I called Monday February 19th to confirm with the store that the furniture was going to be delivered that Friday the 23rd when I learned that it was not going to be delivered that day. The lady told me it would be delivered March 2nd which I had told them, "No. I need the furniture and that is not the date promised to me."
I had to call back two times after leaving messages with the receptionists, then finally I talked to Rondell when he said all the furniture was not in. Rondell offered me the floor model which I declined because that's not what I ordered. I explained to Rondell that I will have to cancel the order since they could not deliver on the date promised to me and I had a condo and needed a place to move in. When I went into the store to return the mattress protectors and pillow, Rondell would not discuss this with me. He throw a piece of paper at me and told me I can cancel but I will owe a 30% restocking fee. I told him I do not approve this payment because I held up my part of the deal and he was not able to come through with the promised date.
At that time I explained to him that I had not even received any furniture and according to them they did not have it so they could not deliver so why am I paying a restocking fee when if they had the items then they could have delivered. They want me to pay 2,700 dollars for a restocking fee because I cancelled due to Ashley's not coming through with their promised date. Horrible customer service and I would not recommend this store to anyone.

Bought a dining room table from Ashley Furniture on black Friday 2017- table was scheduled to be delivered a week or so later. Got the table, looked beautiful. I was so happy with it. That did not last very long. I did my financing through Wells-Fargo, and before my first payment was due, the finish on the table started to peel off. I originally thought it was because I had left a glass of water on the table for a couple hours- not very long, not overnight, not for days, just for a COUPLE HOURS. I bought the protection plan, so I figured I’d give them a call to see if they could come out and fix it- what a surprise, the protection plan only covers incidentals- does not cover anything related to water damage.
The woman I spoke with suggested since I hadn’t had the table very long, to call Ashely Furniture directly and see if they’d be able to help me. I called, and spoke to the rudest woman I think I’ve ever spoken to in my life- she said if it's water damage it's 100% my fault, and there is nothing they will do to help. She then snapped at me and said if that glass hadn’t been there, then the water damage would never have happened. I still felt like this was something that should not have happened, I have owned my kitchen table for almost 10 years and leave glasses of water on it all of the time- and this table is just NOW 10 years later starting to show wear and tear.
Decided to try calling Wells Fargo to see if there was anything they could help me with, I did not feel like I should have to pay over $500 for a table that turned into junk within a month. Spoke to a woman who said she could start a dispute for me with Ashley Furniture and they’d have to look into it instead of just brushing me off and putting all the blame on me- She also agreed that this should not have happened in this short timeframe. About a week or so later, I get a phone call to schedule a service technician to come look at the table- they scheduled it for Monday March 19th- Said I would get a phone call the week prior to let me know the time frame. I ended up getting a text message letting me know that the technician would come between 11am-1pm. This was not a time that would work out for me, so I called to get it rescheduled.
Of course was told that I couldn’t pick my time and that they come when they want. But the lady would reschedule and try to put a note on there for a later time- Got it rescheduled for the following week. Monday March 19th rolls around and I get a call from the service technician letting me know that she is on her way- frustrated because I specifically rescheduled this because I was not going to be home at that time, fortunately the technician was running early so I happened to be home- She made it over and checked out the table with me
Her review on the table is that it indeed IS water damage, but not due to a glass of water, but due to me WASHING THE TABLE WITH A WASHCLOTH. She said the finish on these tables are so thin, the finish peels right off after you wipe it down. I questioned why the salesperson didn’t tell me to make sure to get a tablecloth right away? And she said “oh because the salespeople have no CLUE”. I called back to Ashley Furniture because I wanted to speak to a manager regarding how frustrated I am with this whole situation, and how I have been treated and how horrible their product is, etc. I was forwarded to the manager’s VM- because she had left for the day. Left a message with my phone#, and addressing my concerns. Never got a call back from her.
Weeks went by and still- I never heard back from Wells Fargo or Ashley Furniture as far as what is going on with my claim- Called Wells- Fargo first and spoke to a woman who said they now have closed the claim and have sent out a letter stating that water damage is not covered under any warranty, or factory anything and basically too bad so sad, I’ll need to deal with this. Practically livid at this point, I decided to call Ashely Furniture again, and spoke with a woman and let her know how upset I was that their company does not stand behind their product and is putting the blame on me that this is all my fault- she placed me on hold and spoke with her manager, after she came back on the line she reiterated the same information that I had been told- water damage, all your fault, nothing they will do no matter how the water damage happened.
I asked how the heck I was supposed to clean my table off if I can’t use a washcloth?? She had nothing to respond with. I tried to tell her that I don’t pour water on my table and leave it there for days- I wash it and dry it immediately. She would not let me speak to her manager, nor was the manager willing to speak to me. Ashley Furniture is a total JOKE!!! Their product is garbage and their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. I have been a loyal customer with Ashley Furniture for over 10 years- Majority of my furniture in my house is from them. After what I went through with this dining room table, I will never ever buy a single product from them again, nor will I ever recommend them to anyone I know.

I have a scheduled delivery between 8-12. I receive a text message at 8:34 reminding me of my delivery. There is a tracking option, so I do the tracking only to learn that delivery wasn't possible and the crew is on to their second stop. I called immediately. I'm told that the crew took two photos of my home to prove they were there and tried to call several times. They never knocked on my door, so I have no idea where they actually were. Then I got cut off and had to call back. Another person described the photos and they were of cross streets about a mile away, not of my home at all. I was told 30 minutes ago that dispatch would be calling me in 15 to see if I could be rescheduled for today. Still no phone call. I took off work today for this delivery. There are more reliable and trustworthy businesses out there. Use them.
Updated on 04/05/2018: I posted a review on 4/3/18 about the delivery service. It's two days later and they've managed to mess up two more times.

I bought a sofa, oversized chair and ottoman from Ashley Homestore in Greenville, SC on March 13, 2018. After waiting 10 days for the furniture to be delivered, all three pieces arrived damaged! The sofa was scratched up on the left front and the front nailheads were not aligned. It looked someone who had had too much to drink put them on. The ottoman was scratched and paint peeling off in NUMEROUS places. On some of scratches, you could tell someone had tried to touch up the paint with a brown marker before delivering the furniture. The ottoman also was missing two nailheads. The oversized chair had fabric pulling away from the seams as well as more scratches. I spent $1939.89 on what I thought was going to be new furniture but instead all three pieces arrived damaged and looked at best like used furniture.
After speaking with a customer service representative who offered me $200 in a store credit (what the heck is $200 going to buy?) or $100 off the purchase price (um, no thank you. There was more than $100 worth of damage done), I decided to just get a refund. Why would I want to waste any more time on a company that would allow for such crappy furniture to be delivered to someone’s house? I understand that things can get damaged en route to my house, but when furniture leaves the warehouse already “touched up” and you still send it out to be delivered, that’s just bad customer service. I didn’t pay for used furniture. I paid for NEW furniture!
After they came to pick up the furniture, I called to inquire about my refund. I was told it would take 7-14 business to receive a refund! It didn’t take them 7-14 business days to take the money out of my account. Why should it take that long to be refunded? Plus, I was charged a 10% restocking fee and 79.99 to be picked up! What the heck? How are you going to charge me 10% restocking fee when the furniture was clearly damaged before it even left the warehouse! They knowingly sent me damaged goods and now I have to pay 10% of my refund to have them restock it. Ridiculous!
Customer service refused to budge on the 10% fee and would not let me speak to anyone in the Woodruff Rd store to explain the situation to. I understand their policy, but right is right. You can’t knowingly send out damaged furniture and then charge a customer 10% restocking fee because I refuse to do business with you anymore. I learned a valuable lesson today...NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH ASHLEY HOMESTORE!

I went all the way to NJ to get a new twin XL bed. I walk in and the first thing they tell me is they do not stock twin XL bedframes and that they are available by special order only. I agree to order a frame with the foundation and paid close to $550. The salesperson said that delivery and taxes were included. However the delivery fee is actually $181 and the bed itself cost $350. They tell me that it would arrive in two weeks time. The delivery team was super friendly but it turns out the salesperson put the wrong size rails for the order, effectively rendering the bed useless because the rails are required to support the mattress.
The store calls me back ASAP to apologize and to find the correct size rails nearby. They told me it would take another TWO WEEKS just to wait for rails, so I cancelled the order and the team took back the order. I felt bad too because the delivery team was friendly and you could tell they were upset by this, but it wasn't their fault at all. Currently waiting for a refund. Ashley definitely lost my business. I would not recommend other people to shop there. My IKEA furniture got here faster than Ashley Furniture did.

Was pleased with the purchase at first. Serta I comfort King mattress and Ashley motorized base. Within 3 months the motorized base began making loud noises whenever you move. Checked all nuts underneath and they were all tight but noise persisted. Ashley sent tech out who did have the bottom half replaced. Seemed ok.
Within 1 year of purchase the mattress developed a sag. The base started to make noise again. So 18 months into a 10 year mattress warranty Serta/Ashley agreed to warranty replacement on mattress. Full replacement. We went into store to pick out new mattress... Mattresses must have come down in price. We picked out a Sealy. It was about $900 less than original mattress. Ashley handed me a document to sign that I was forfeiting that $900 to them. I was irritated. We picked out a more expensive mattress then. I have never heard of a warranty going like that. I was losing faith fast.
Now the 18 month old base. I purchase the extended warranty. GBS sent a contractor out to see what the issue is. At this point you cannot shift your weight without waking the other person. Same issue as before. Sounds like it is falling apart but all bolts are tight. The man said he thinks it is a design flaw. Has started seeing this since they went to one big base for the kings instead of the split ones. He said he would put his report in. After two weeks of hearing nothing I called. GBS says they will not handle a claim as it seems like a design issue, not anything they can fix. Plus since the bottom was replaced already it shows this. They told us we need to go fight with the retailer. I do not remember seeing this in the fine print.
The way it should work is they should replace the base, then they should fight with Ashley. So looks like more aggravation for more me. It has been the worst $4000 ever spent. Guess we will find out this weekend when we go into store. I seriously doubt I will get any satisfaction from the store. Great scam they have going with the extended warranty. The only reason I got it was due to the many moving parts on the base. Oh yes. Also, the massage unit on the feet do not work. The plug cords are too short. When you raise the feet they unplug.

I had purchased a sleeper sofa from Ashley Furniture store online last year in May because I was in need of a new sofa. It hasn't even been a and the sofa has already broke, the bed frame became jammed and stuck causing one side to break off the couch. So the frame will no longer fold back into the sofa. I did call their customer care and was given a day and time frame for a technician to come out and take a look at the problem.
On March 27th the technician came out to look at the problem. He took pictures and attempt to force the frame back into the couch almost causing more damage to the sofa. I was told they were going to review and contact me sometime soon. It's been a couple days and I received a call saying they will replace the frame and that all solutions were resolved. I called back and spoke with customer care and was supposed to be directed to a technician supervisor, but I was disconnected from the phone call and I called back again to only be directed to Anna the manager of customer care. She told me they cannot replace it because it's wear and tear. Again I was never directed to a technician supervisor. Hasn't even a year since I purchased this sofa and they refused to fix it claiming wear and tear over the duration of time.

The furniture gets here and the delivery people are putting together the furniture. So first a piece of the bed broke. That's complaint number 3. Then the nightstand has a crack. Wait I'm not finished. Then the handles on the dresser is screwed in incorrectly and off centered. And on top of that they send us a full bed when we ordered a twin bed.

I purchased all my furniture for a 3 bedroom/2 living room house from Ashley's. I even brought extra insurance which is a total waste of money. The mattress was sagging in the middle within 9 months. I paid over 1600 for it and when the insurance came out to check my claim he placed a bar across the bed stating it needed to sag 1/4" more or they would not cover it. I weight 130 and my husband 205. I very seriously doubt that metal bar weighs what humans do and was baffled by their response "they would not cover such" as well as the master bedroom furniture was very expensive and one leg did not get stained by the manufacturer. I showed that to the insurance man and he stated that is not covered as well. It's not as if I could remove the stain to raw only on one leg but I just shook my head and said okay.
Once again I went back to Ashley's and purchased more furniture as only a fool would do to be ripped off again. The so called leather 2 piece set for my den is all electric seating on a sofa & loveseat. The stuff is garbage. I again purchased the extended warranty as a fool again being promised it would cover any and everything. NOT!!! The stuff is peeling and garbage. I called the insurance and they stated they would not cover it. The store stated that they believed it was on recall with the manufacturer due to the fabric being faulty. Then they had me send photos to them and they reached out to the manufacturer trying to help me.
I got a response from the Ashley store in Grapevine TX stating it would take about 2-4 weeks to hear. Since then I can not get any assistance with an answer and it has been over 2 months. I reached out to the Ashley headquarters where I initially sent the photos and got a very rude response after a month waiting letting me know they would respond when they heard so I waited another month and reached out to the store. Once again I am given the runaround and told they would respond when they hear. What a joke for overpriced garbage! The furniture is garbage as well as their extra insurance. I would not suggest anyone looking for furniture to shop here.

I was at first excited about going to Ashley Furniture but then it takes forever for the furniture to come in. It stated on my receipt when the furniture will be delivered but they said it wasn't the correct date. If I would have known that my furniture would take forever, I would have went to another store where I can get it within a couple of days. I will never again order from you guys.

So I was duped into buying bonded leather furniture when I went to Ashley in Turnersville, NJ looking for genuine LEATHER back in 2013. The salesman, Pat **, assured me this bonded leather stuff was better and more economical. He didn’t fully explain the service plan and I always feel like those extended warranties are a rip off so I passed. Shortly after buying, I got a second home in FL and spent the next few years there, leaving my 8 months new furniture at my house in NJ covered up while I was gone. Came home last year and within a month of using my sofa, the bonded leather started peeling off in one area and just kept getting worse and now the sofa looks horrible. It’s pure junk.
I went to Ashley Furniture and talked to the store manager, Ralph **, who was as nice as could be and gave me a number to call and assured me he would help me if calling the number didn’t do me any good. I called and got laughed at by some woman in their damages dept because I had bought the sofa so long ago. The sofa and 2 chairs I bought still look brand new from me being away so long and not getting used too much. Except for the one cushion that is peeling. I have no pets and did not sit on the sofa wearing jeans, or anything with zippers, buttons or anything of that nature that would damage it, unless pajamas can cause damage!
I found out from my recent visit to Ashley that bonded leather is awful and most places, including Ashley, will not sell it anymore because it is now apparent that it does not hold up. Anyway, I called the manager back to tell him I got laughed at and he wasn’t as friendly or so willing to help over the phone as he was when I went into the store and spoke to him in person. I guess he thought I’d cause a scene so he blew smoke up my butt to get me out if the store as a “satisfied” customer. On the phone the next day, he said he’d call me back within a day and let me know what he could offer me to make this situation right.
I don’t expect my money back and this junk sofa can’t be fixed but I found a genuine leather sofa in Ashley that I liked and would have been happy to buy if they sweetened the deal. 3 days later, they never called me back. Thinking back, they never copied my paperwork, asked me my name or any of my info. Because they don’t care and had no intention of ever helping me. So just like everyone else has complained... Ashley doesn’t give a crap about pleasing the customer. My advice... shop somewhere else!

If you can find furniture at any other store please purchase elsewhere. Salesmen at Ashley Furniture are great. Once you purchase the furniture then you have to deal with the real store's personnel. Do not call the We Care number because they don't. care! Do everything you can to not buy from Ashley Furniture. I do not want you to get treated the way I was treated. Not even sure if they are done with me because still have not received furniture that I have paid for in full. CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL BE THE WORSE YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!

I bought a couch from Ashley for my children's home. The wrong color came. They insisted it just looked different in their home. IT WAS THE WRONG COLOR. Then months after the purchase, the frame broke. At this time it was just my daughter and son in law living there. Children were not born and both of them are not big people. I cannot figure out how this would even happen. They sent someone out to repair it. A short while later, it broke again. They should have replaced it at that time. It should have also been replaced originally because it was the wrong color. They did not stand behind the product at all. They were difficult to deal with.
All we can do is warn people who were thinking of buying furniture from them. Most large stores would back up their product especially when you can clearly see there is a real problem. Buyer beware! Horrible customer service. The women on the phone also sympathized with us. She was not surprised by our situation and told us "they don't make furniture like they used to." But that they would not do anything about this couch breaking. Dealing with this company was a real disappointment.

We purchased the Marsilona dining table set and ordered 2 more sets of chairs to equal 8 totaling almost $1500 for everything. Soon after we had the table minus the few weeks we were on leave out of state visiting family (and this happened right when we got back home and actually used it), water spilled on it and it swelled up and warped. No dining table that you eat and drink at should swell from something spilling on it. The cracks on the table are bound to get some liquid in them when you even clean it. Shouldn’t have to worry about that. This isn’t worth it at all, especially with kids. And after reading the other negative reviews on it, this is the same thing happening.
There should be a recall on this dining room table. Put in a claim almost two months ago and been given the run around saying the home store here will handle it and then being told by the home store finally after weeks of waiting for their call that there is nothing they can do and I have to go through the customer care online. Called that number and was on hold a very long time and never talked to anyone, so today decided to email but they gave my info to the home store in which I’ve already spoke with and they said there’s nothing they can do since I ordered online.

They would also tell me each time I called that they would have to research why the item was not in the warehouse.
I also sent emails to customer service and I received the same answer. "Need to do research." I waited for over 3 months and kept getting the run around from Ashley Customer service stating "it will be credited in 10 minutes." It never happened.

I purchased $3,000 for furniture December 2015. I also purchased the five-year Furniture Protection Plan. I purchased the protection plan with confidence that if there were problems with the furniture, I had an insurance policy. After a year of use one of the recliners started having issues. I was told that it was past the one-year warranty and that the furniture protection was only if I damaged the furniture. Fast forward to March 2018 and I damaged one of the chairs because the recliner got stuck on the edge of the window seal ledge; broke the window ledge and the recliner seat frame. While waiting for Ashley's not so prompt service in honoring their protection plan, I further damaged the footstool because I had to use the stool to push the seat back on the chair, I tore the leather underneath the stool.
I contacted Ashley to schedule a technician on February 12, 2018 and was referred to GBS. I called GBS and they could not find my warranty but would contact Ashley and would get back to me within two weeks. After not hearing from GBS after two weeks, I contacted Ashley. Ashley was able to locate my account and I am not sure why, was able to schedule a technician for March 9, 2018, rather than going through GBS. The receptionist said she was “really sorry” for the mix-up. Question, why couldn’t Ashley have schedule the technician in the first place instead of referring me to GBS’s? I took the day off, so I would be home.
The technician showed up at my house at 8:30 am and since Ashley did not let me know of the time, like they indicated they would, I was in the shower when the tech arrived. Dispatch called and left a message. I called dispatch back at 8:39 am and it rang over 20 times, then was intercepted. I called at 9:02 am again and finally got a hold of the dispatcher. Rolena told me the technician was already out of the area, but he may be able to circle back to me. Rolena said she would get back to me.
By 10:11 am I had not heard from her, so I called back. I was told that they were “really sorry”, but I would have to reschedule, the supervisor’s technician would not send him back to my house. I told them I had taken the day off and I was not told of the time the tech was coming or I would have planned my morning differently. They said they were “really sorry”, they had sent a robo reminder the day before, which they had not. Again, apologized I did not get my robo call reminder.
So, I asked to talk with the supervisor, John, and he told me the same sad story. I asked him, “What about keeping the customer happy”. He also said he was “really sorry” and there was nothing he could do. I said, “John I am sensing a pattern here, everyone is really sorry, but no one is willing to make their customer happy”. John said he would schedule another appointment for me and pledged to get back to me with the new time and date.
In the meantime, I called the store manager in Salt Lake City, D.J., who said he was concerned with how the events had taken place and he also pledged to get to the bottom of the customer service debacle. As of 3:15 pm I have not heard from anyone from Ashley, airwave silence... bottom line, save yourselves the aggravation and dollars, buy your furniture somewhere else and don’t buy the warranty, not worth the money and frustration. I believe they plan it this way, so you end up not using the warranty, you are too frustrated to follow through.

I wish we had looked at the reviews before we purchased anything from Ashley. While the salesperson was very nice we feel we did not fully understand the terms of the sale. We were under the impression if we financed the sale we would get a bonus! We had purchased a couch and chair which had two pillows on it at the store. At the time we were under the impression the pillows were included in the price. The couch and chair were delivered on time and we had agreed to pick up the pillows at the store when they arrived.
We were given a date to pick up the pillows but when we went to the store they weren't there, the salesperson said they would call when they arrived. A number of days later we received a call saying the pillows would be ready on a specific date. Once again we went to the store and they weren't there. The salesperson did apologize and said we would get called. Once again we received a call stating that the pillows would be there on the Thursday night and would be available for pick-up on the Friday. After the experience we had already had I called and spoke to someone in the store on the Monday they said there were two pillows there, I was not amused when they told us to come get them.
I told the caller we were both seniors in our 80's and felt after the delay that we should have the pillows delivered. The young man said since we lived near the store he would bring them himself, which he did. He had me sign a paper saying I had accepted the pillows I asked if we had to pay for the pillows he said no! Also, when we looked at the package the name on the package was for another customer. Furthermore, when I attempted to pay off the account the credit company gave me a figure which was less than the original statement so I paid off that amount. I called the credit company today just to make sure that we were free and clear but was told that I now had an outstanding balance which was of course the price of the pillows.
It was not explained to us that the only way we could pay the credit company was by doing so at a bank branch. After 2+ hours on the phone to "Fairstone" I found a local office only to be told that particular office did not accept payments. They gave me another office address which I went to but I was told by them I would have to go to a Bank to pay. I have to tell you by this time I was thoroughly disgusted with Ashley. We have had a lot of running around because of this purchase and will never buy anything from Ashley again.

The 8x10 Rug was hung at the time, I wasn't 10 ft tall to see what's on the other end and she never told me it was damaged. She said it was on sale. If you look at your cameras this will prove my word. She said rug will be delivered with the rest of the furniture. After 10 days furniture came, no rug. When called they said We are suppose to pick it up. If that was the case we could've brought it on the same day we made the purchase. And almost 2 weeks no one called for a reminder.
On Monday evening my husband picked up the rug which was rolled outside in (which was weird) and given no chance to look at it. Two corners of the rug looks like it's been used before. There's lot of wear and tear. When I called in they says it's final sale, and they mentioned the damage to me at the time of purchase. Which they didn't. Why would I pay $200 for a damaged rug? Such a great customer service for $2000 worth purchase. Since 2009 from bedroom to living room everything I own is from Ashley Furniture. Never once returned or exchanged anything. But this is my first time with Tacoma store and what a sad experience dealing with liars for $199? Geez!

She reports that Tracy ** is the supervisor. He called back and has asked for her by name and is told she is not working. For over 7 weeks I have tried to get a table fixed that I firmly believe was sold to me broken in the first place. I only say this because when I take a picture of the broken piece and the camera flashes, the table appears to be repaired in another spot. I tried this on the other side of the table and it does not do the same thing. This lack of service is uncalled for. We paid $800 for this table and this is the service we have received. 7 weeks.

I bought a rectangular table at the store in Falls Church, VA on January 19 and it was a nice looking table. It was delivered on time and the associates in the store were very nice. I got the table on the expected delivery date and got many compliments on the look of the table. Then on February 11th I contacted Customer Service via e-mail to initiate a repair because while I was eating dinner with my 2 small children the black decorative metal strip popped off the table and two small nails flew out. I immediately looked for the nails and luckily I was able to find them before my small children could step on them or pick them up. I was told to contact the home store where I purchased the table to ask for a repair. I followed the instructions and was able to schedule a repair.
When the repair technician came to my home on February 23rd, he explained that this was a recurring issue for this particular model table and that this problem (metal strips popping off and nails flying out) was being reported repeatedly for the table. He used glue for a temporary fix and said that even when the table is replaced, it will happen again. I have deep concerns about safety issues with this table. I called 410-347-3990 for the first time on 3/2/18 after being referred from the store to the warehouse to that 410 number. The representative asked for my phone number, pulled up my account and heard my concerns. She said she would need ask a manager to see what the next step would be for us. I asked her to pass along my request for a refund. She also said that she believed the table was discontinued.
The exchange with her was courteous and she said someone would call me back, but it wasn't clear if it would be that day or another day. I called that same 410 number on the morning of 3/5/18 and spoke with Megan, a customer service rep. She pulled up my account, placed me on hold, and when she came back said that management authorized a replacement of the table only. I let her know that our preference was to receive a refund due to the safety issues posed by the table, I also let her know what the repair technician said about the table and the manufacturing defect that is causing this problem over and over again.
She treated me as a sort of hostile customer and threatened to hang up on me several times and that she had nothing further to tell me after I asked to speak with a manager. She said it was their policy not to allow customers speak with someone from the management team. On several occasions, she instructed me to read the policy as opposed to taking the time to give me a brief explanation and rationale. She never addressed my concerns about safety and the table having been discontinued. She was very defensive and had an extremely impolite/passive aggressive tone when she spoke with me. I was simply trying to state back the information as she had given it to me to ensure that I understood correctly, and it is not out of the scope of her duties to assist customers and even frustrated customers.
I'm extremely disappointed in that interaction with a representative from Ashley Customer Service. She begrudgingly stated that Tiffany, an Office Lead would call me back, if not another member of the management team, but I am not optimistic about follow up. This has completely tarnished my experience with what I initially saw as a great purchase of a nice and affordable table. I didn't expect the table to be the highest quality given the price point, but as a minimum, I expected it to be safe. I got back in touch with a manager at the home store and he explained that once the invoice closes, the store no longer has control over next steps or refunds.
This manager was one of the people who first helped me purchase the table and all throughout he was the only person who took the time to answer my questions, offer explanations and reassurance, and he actually helped me find solutions. It's disappointing that his level of customer service is not the norm for the people who work at the customer service department when you call 410-347-3990. If this person, Megan, is representative of the assistance provided by customer service, they need some serious re-training. You'd think they were protecting top secret information the way they "protect" management from customers. Practice empathy and know how to explain policy is my suggestion.

Sofa stopped reclining 22 hours after delivery. Reclining sofa was delivered at 7:00 on Friday March 2, 2018. One side of the reclining sofa stopped working March 3, 2018 at 5:00. I like the sofa, however, I bought it for the power reclining feature. I worry if I keep it that it will always be troublesome.

The delivery time is horrible. I called & spoke to 2 representatives & a supervisor. The supervisor was so nice she was very helpful & nice with assisting me with the correct delivery time that works for my schedule. Ashley’s delivery time sucks!!! The computer generates it for when they are in your neighborhood but that time does not always work when dealing with WORKING paying customers.
If this is the case, then delivery should not be allowed it’ll be better if people just had to pick up etc, they are not time sensitive to no one schedule. That was no reason why it should have took me 3 weeks after completely buying out a bedroom suit to get my items. Ashley if you want to keep customers happy & coming back take advice from your customer & get a better delivery system in store. This is horrible no paying customer should be made to your schedule, we are the ones keeping you open. This would be the downfall for the business if it is not handled better.

Ordered 2 bedroom suites, dining room suite and a few tables for my living room October 29th 2017. Was told would take 4 to 6 weeks. I moved 6 weeks later to a new home with no furniture. Finally weeks later received dining room suite and dressers still no beds. Today March 3rd 2018 received final bed. I will never shop here again. I paid cash for my furniture and when I'd call to see why I hadn't received it they would give you the runaround. Do yourself a favor. Don't shop here!

I recently bought a living room suite and a bedroom suite from the Richmond Kentucky store in the first part of the month of April. And when I bought the stuff I paid with cash and was promised to have it all by the end of the month on the 28th and my wife called just to confirm that they would be there and was told the bedroom suite would but the couch and recliner would not be there till the 18th on March. It upset me but I let it go because they said they would bring my bedroom suite on that day so when the 28th came we were told they would arrive within the hours of 1:30 to 4:00. So I waited and at 3:30 they hadn’t got there so I called the store and was told they were running a little behind and would be there at 5:30 so I waited.
5:30 came and no one showed or called. 8:30 rolled around. I had to leave and was gone and they show up at 9:00 PM to deliver the bedroom suite. They left and I called the store the next morning to get told that I wasn’t going to get my bedroom the next day that I wasn’t there to receive it and they had to reschedule me so I got very upset and told them to cancel the order. I would come get my money back and they said they would see what they could do so now it is supposed to be here on the 2nd at 9:30 am. So we will see how it goes but it’s the last time I will order anything from them again. They will tell you that they have to order it and you will have it in a week but it turns into a month.

We had bought a Sealy Comforpedic. It sank in the middle. Ashley sent an inspector. It was proved to be faulty. Sealy gave us a store credit to select a mattress.

We went into the Ashley Furniture Roseville, CA store on 18 February 2018, the man we worked with at the store (Roger) was incredibly helpful. He walked us through the whole process and helped us pick out a living room set we liked. Other than this one individual at this store the entire place is a disaster. No one working here has any idea what is happening after you make your decision on the furniture you want.
The first delivery was scheduled for 25 February 2018 between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m., by the time 12 p.m. rolled around we still had not received any updates as to the delivery status of our furniture. After six phone calls to the store itself, the customer support center, and the warehouse/dispatch we found out from Sofia that the truck had broken down (if you read other reviews from this same store this appears to be a weekly occurrence) and our stuff would not be delivered that day. They apologized and rescheduled for 27 February 2018 and agreed to waive the delivery fee due to the inconvenience and put us on priority to ensure we get our stuff.
The second delivery attempt went just as poorly as the first. This one was scheduled for drop off between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., yet again 12 p.m. rolls around and no phone call, text or e-mail. This time the resolution came quicker, but it still took three separate phone calls to find out what exactly had happened this time. We finally get through to Robin who works at the store because customer service had no information on our order existing and the warehouse was unreachable. After Robin put in a call to the warehouse she was able to find out that our "prioritized" order had not made it to the truck.
I usually have no problem as these things come up, but the simple fact that they refuse to communicate with their customers in any way is an issue I take with this store and the people who work here. They tried to reschedule for another day, I refused and asked for a refund and cancellation of delivery. If they can work out how to handle this very basic task I may bump them up to the two stars strictly the man from the store who helped us initially was great at what he does. Shop at your own risk, but I would highly recommend you just find another store with competent workers.

I'm extreme dissatisfied with the services provided by Ashley Furniture Homestore. I purchase a new bedroom suite to which was supposed to be delivered this past weekend. Half of my furniture was exceptional; the other half, not so much. My dresser (pictured) was damaged in 2 areas along with the footboard (not pictured). Additionally, my walls (pictured) were damaged by the movers. While customer service is attempting to rectify the situation by sending replacement parts and a new footboard, the timeline is unacceptable. I'm being told it will take at least 2 more weeks for the footboard delivery PLUS 7-14 days for new dresser parts and another appointment for installation. In all, this will be 3 separate appointments all of which carry a 3 hour time frame to set aside.
My home is in shambles and 3 massive boxes of bed parts just laying around my home because the footboard was damaged at delivery. I would expect this process to be expedited and no form of consolation can be provided beyond a store credit. While I am a repeat customer of Ashley Furniture Homestore, at this point in time, I have no desire to ever purchase furniture from this corporation again.

After trying out the chair and realizing it would be perfect in my home, I confronted a sales lady and she immediately discouraged me from trying to purchase it by telling me I’d have to rent a truck and haul it out myself. I told her I’d be willing to pay for delivery and that I only live across the river from the store. She then started to tell me something that was totally unrelated to my wanting to purchase the chair. Something about all their furniture comes from Palmerton, Pa. (I mean who cares). She was very snooty and needless to say not helpful at all. Tall, thin woman with long gray hair. Never offered her name. I will never go back to Ashley.

I bought my furniture less than 10 months ago and my dresser and nightstands (in my barely used bedroom) have already started chipping away without any obvious reason or trauma. When I was buying the furniture I was assured "one year warranty" provided from Ashley and I was also lured into buying a 5 year 3rd party warranty (Platinum Warranty Services) by saying that "even a small scratch to your furniture and they will replace whole set".
Now, neither Ashley nor Platinum warranty services is willing to repair or replace the defects. Ultimately I had to cancel the Platinum warranty and had to ask for refund of my leftover warranty amount. I will recommend people "never to waste their money on Ashley Furniture". There are multiple reasons: Ashley company sells furniture for very high prices. Ashley furniture company and the staff do not respect their customers. You can buy similar furniture for much lower price from other companies. Ashley company is full of lies.

I would like to share the level of frustration my fiancé and I have been dealing ever since we’ve purchased a few items at the Ashley Store. Ashley and I moved into our new home on Jan 12th and had scheduled for the couch, dresser, bed frame and mattress to arrive on the 13th. Once everything was delivered we noticed immediately that the dresser had (seemed to be glue) some imperfections from manufacturing, one piece of the couch had a broken piece of wood underneath where the springs are supported and one of the cushions was noticeably softer than the rest of them.
It took over two weeks after our initial complain for a technician to come out to look at the damaged items (I had to leave work early to be meet with the technician) and another few more days for the delivery guys to come replace the piece of couch and take the dresser away for repair (I had to take time off work again to be there for the delivery guys). I was told the cushion would take anywhere from 2-4 weeks and one week for the dresser to be fixed and returned back on February 20th. Yesterday, I left work early again so I could meet with the delivery guys.
Before the delivery guys could bring the dresser off the truck, I asked that I see it first and that was when I noticed the dresser was in worse shape than when it was picked up! (Please refer to the attachments). I’ve called the guest care support line 1-800-737-3233 a couple of times after refusing to accept the damaged dresser and inquired about a status on when I will be getting a new dresser but nobody seems to have any answers. It has been over a month now and I have yet gotten my cushion for the couch and I do not have a dresser.

1.0 star rating 2/16/2018. I purchased a couch and recliner from the Ashley Furniture in Bel Air Md. on January 1, 2018. The store was having a 55 % sale on all furniture inventory clearance. The salesman Jamal was very courteous and friendly. He showed me several couches and took the time to explain the pros and cons of each couch. I picked out a reclining couch and reclining chair. I was charged $150 for delivery, given supposedly 55% of the retail price and given 12 months no interest. The furniture was delivered on January 12, 2018. The delivery company did an excellent job of delivering my furniture.
So a few weeks I see the flyer from Ashley furniture for a President's Day sale event 55% off and free delivery. This ad started February 05, 2018. On the front page of the ad, I see the same couch that I bought 43 days later advertised for $799.00. Well that is a price reduction of $459. So I go into the store with the ad, show the ad to Sterling the store manager and he says that he will sent an e-mail to the district manager Douglas ** to see if I can do anything about the price difference and to call back the next day. He also said the sofa set was being discontinued. I said that my daughter was in the store a few days prior was she was told by the salesperson that this living room set was one of the top 3 sellers. I call back the next day to speak to Sterling and I was told that he left the store to go to the bank and would call me when he returns. Well I did not receive a call back.
On February 16th, I call the store and ask for Sterling. I was placed on hold for 10 minutes and a person answered the phone was said he was the district manager and his name was DJ. DJ told me flat out that there is a 14 day policy and he was not going to do anything to help me out other than I could purchase more furniture and he might be able to discount it... Really how about a $458 refund and the $150 delivery fee refunded. I asked if there was someone above him I could speak to and he said no. Stay away from Ashley Furniture.

I didn't have my mind on returning the sofa when the sofa arrived at my house. I just had so much going on with a newborn first baby.

We turned down both and said we wanted an exchange. When we did not get a call by Tuesday, my husband called and was told there was a claim for the TV stand but not the table.
She took the information and told him he would get a call within 24 hours... no call. He called again today. They can deliver a new table but it wouldn't be until March 10. So what do we do in the meantime? We have a dining room table that is upside down in my dining room (we can't put it together... we have no hardware). And a TV stand that has bad spots. My husband is going to the store tomorrow and as far as I am concerned, they can have back the TV stand and the dining room set. Oh wait... the return policy only gives ONE day. We have damaged furniture, some we cannot use, and you're saying you'll only give us ONE day to return it?

BUYER BEWARE!! ASHLEY BED CAME WITH BED BUGS!!! Recently, I purchased a beautiful bed from Ashley. It was one of those fabric covered bed frames. Very nice, good quality! I loved it. After being delivered, I was initially very happy with my purchase. However, after sleeping in the bed a week or so, I realized that I was starting to get BITE UP EVERY NIGHT. At first I did not connect it to the new bed. It took another couple weeks of being bite and thinking I was just breaking out with some type of rash or something on my arms before I realized what was really happening.
Then finally one night after getting bite yet again, it finally dawned on me that I was being bite by freakin' bed bugs. LET ME TELL YOU I KEEP A VERY CLEAN HOME, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BED BUG ISSUE IN MY LIFE!! And I have not traveled recently. On this night, I got a flashlight to inspect the headboard, and sure enough there was a colony of bed bugs living in a few of the button holes of the headboard. I was disgusted and livid! because I knew for a fact that those things got into my house WHEN THAT FREAKIN BED CAME INTO MY HOUSE!
The next day I called Ashley to tell them about it, and all I asked them was to REPLACE the bed with something else because as you can imagine, I could NO LONGER sleep in a bed infected with bed bugs. The manager told me that there was no way the bedbugs came from their warehouse and that she could not help me. This pissed me off because I know for a fact that the bed bugs did INDEED come with the bed as I NEVER GOT bite prior to getting this bed. And 1 week after having the bed all of sudden I started getting bite. That is no coincidence!
Anyhow, ASHLEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING NOR WOULD THEY TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. So that's why I'm writing this review to WARN OTHERS. One of their warehouse must have freaking bedbugs. I ended up throwing my expensive bed outside and spending loads of money to eradicate the newfound bed bug problem. Luckily the bed hadn't been there but a few weeks so the problem didn't extend beyond my bedroom. However, I still spent over $500 to fix the bed bug problem though. I will NEVER BUY AGAIN FROM ASHLEY FURNITURE.

I ordered my furniture on November 13, 2017. When I ordered the furniture, I was told that it would be a maximum of 6 weeks before the furniture was delivered, and the young man even went to the computer to see if he could give me a better estimate as to when I could expect these items to be in. Fast forward to December 20th; I call Ashley’s and ask about my furniture since I haven’t heard anything. I was told that according the computer, my furniture wouldn’t be ready until the end of January.
I quickly explained how that wasn’t going to be the case because I ordered these things before Thanksgiving, and PAID for them in full. After a few minutes talking with someone else, I was told that some of my items were ready, but they wouldn’t deliver them until the day after Christmas, but I could pick them up if I wanted in time for my company at Christmas. So I went and rented a U-Haul trailer, borrowed someone’s truck, drove 3 1/2 hours and put out another $200 just to go pick up my own furniture that I had already paid a delivery fee for.
I go to the Lubbock warehouse to pick up my bed, dresser, and couch. (Not including the side tables, ottoman, and a few other things...) The pickup was possibly the easiest part of this process, as sad as that is. I’m not sure what that says about a company and their customer service, but that’s their problem. Anyways, I get home, I unload my items and start setting them up in my home. Upon opening the headboard I noticed a large gash taken out of the top of the headboard. The box looked undamaged so I’m assuming it happened before it was boxed up.
Not long after discovering that my brand new headboard is damaged, I also noticed that the posts that connect to the sides of the headboard were not included. So I was sent home with a bed that I can’t even set up because I don’t have all the parts. I called up Ashley’s and explained that my headboard is damaged and that I don’t have all the parts for the bed. Not once has my damaged headboard been addressed, and I paid for that whole Purple Cow protection plan, so if you’re considering paying the extra for that, don’t count on anything coming from it.
I call up Ashley’s and explain my situation. The girl on the phone tells me that the headboard posts were never ordered and therefore I would have to pay another $127 (somewhere around there, probably more though) to get the headboard posts... Now if anyone knows how Ashley’s furniture ordering goes (I do because the guy who took my order was a newbie and it took me 3 separate visits to the store with over an hour each time for this kid to type up my order, but he was new so I was trying to be patient since I know a lot of people aren’t) but it’s not like they just order the “Shay bed”. They have to order the individual parts (side rails, headboard, footboard, etc.) This is done by taking the price of the bed and dividing it between each piece of the bed. The bed I purchased was $503 via online price match.
When I explained to the lady that I had already paid the full price for the bed, she tried to inform me otherwise. I finally was able to break it down for her so she understood that the price of the bed was $503 and I paid $503, therefore shouldn’t have to pay more because the guy who wrote my order didn’t include all the necessary parts. From what I understand, a separate ticket was made for my headboard posts, and I wasn’t charged... I think.
Fast forward now to February 10, 2018. I STILL DO NOT have my headboard posts. On February 8th I received a call to set up delivery for my remaining items that weren’t ready when I picked up my order in December. When Jason called me, he went over the list of things being delivered. He told me they did have the ticket for my headboard posts, and that they would be being delivered as well. Now, at this point nobody has said anything about my damaged headboard, but I’m just like “okay Lara, let’s get through one issue at a time!”
So I wait for the delivery this morning, February 10, 2018 and Ryan shows up with everything BUT my headboard posts. When I ask him about them, he had no idea about any headboard posts. At this point I’m just trying not to rage on the delivery guy, because I know it’s not him personally that has caused this, but it was extremely difficult not to. He called up the warehouse, I’m assuming, and asked about the headboard posts. He handed me the phone and some lady on the phone tells me that she will be calling me back about delivering the headboard posts.
I’m literally at a loss as to what to do. I want my furniture, but it would be nice to pay almost 2 grand and maybe get the actual product that I paid for. It’s been 4 months, and I have 3 out of 4 piece of my bed sitting in my garage. One of which was damaged when I received it, but don’t even know how to deal with that situation when I can’t even get all of the bed parts delivered to me.
It seems to be a common thing that everyone orders from Ashley’s... Once, and I can see why. As a single mom, $1700 is a lot of money for me to come up with and it’s a real shame that this company doesn’t treat their customers better. At this point, I’m 4 months in and still have no idea as to when I will receive the rest of my bed, or if they plan on doing anything about my damaged headboard they sent me.

I purchased a dining room set a little over 1 year ago. About 2 months ago I noticed that the varnish on the table was coming off. I travel internationally quite a bit and just returned home from a 7 week international work trip. Upon returning I called the warranty phone number and reported my claim. My claim was denied because I didn't call within 30 days of noticing the issue. This is complete and utter B.S. The last thing on my mind is to call about an issue with my table when I am overseas conducting business. I did call when I returned home and remembered seeing the worn varnish on the table.
I am extremely disappointed in the quality of their product and also the way the warranty company handles themselves. I will never again purchase anything from this company and I will be sure to tell all my friends and family to purchase furniture from another company. Shady business practices. Who in their right mind is going to make an international phone call to a company about worn varnish on a table from The Philippines? Even if I made the call, I wouldn't be home for another 7 weeks to let someone from the company take a look at it! Horrible customer service.

I purchased an entire bedroom set and sectional the week before Christmas so of course I expected to have some delay with the delivery. I went through the process of setting up a date with the associate at the store and had to wait about 3 weeks, not too great but I could live with that. Well, they will not deliver past 4 pm on a weekday apparently, when most of the civilized world is at work. So I booked a day off to meet the delivery crew. A few days before delivery I get a call to tell me not everything I ordered will be available (2 nightstands and some storage drawers). I now have to wait another 4 weeks for these items. Again, they will not deliver past 4 pm so I have to take another day off work to meet the delivery truck.
I have absolutely no complaints about the furniture, their products are excellent but getting them delivered is a whole different story. There is no excuse for such a large corporation to make a customer wait nearly 2 months to get their nearly $7000 worth of stuff (plus $250 for delivery). I am actually somewhat impressed how terrible such a large company could manage their stock and delivery system. Ashley Furniture, you lost a future customer because of your incredibly ** up delivery service. Congratulations, I hope this helps other people make an informed decision before purchasing something from your stores.

Prior to entering the store I looked at Ashley’s website. I saw two dining sets I liked but wanted to see them prior to making a purchase so I went to the Ashley Store in Essex, Maryland. The salesperson approaches me and I ask if I can see the two sets. I decided on the one I wanted and ask him for the price (the display only shows the actual price with a slash). He says he doesn't know he would have to look it up. I told him, "Your online website had it for $357.49." He says, "May I see?" I show him and then I ask how much is delivery. He tells me if I honor the online price then I have to charge you $150 for delivery. After questioning the reason behind it, he tells me that is what Corporate mandates.
After trying to make sense out of it with him, he continues to tell me that although it doesn’t make sense Corporate the information comes from Corporate. So I offer to pick up the item and he says that’s fine but still has to charge me $150 for delivery. Now I’m baffled. He says the merchandise isn’t at the site it’s at a warehouse so the fee is still applicable. I tell him forget it. As I’m about to walk away he says he’ll come back, he’ll see what he can do. He comes back about 3 min later and says, "Well I can charge you $400 for the table and $100 for delivery." "Delivery for what?! I’m picking it up." He says, "That’s what I can offer." I say, "Forget." He says, "Let me see what I can do." Leaves, comes back and says, "Ok, I can give you the table for $368 and no delivery fee." I agreed. At this point I didn’t want to continue arguing. I would not be purchasing any more items from Ashley’s.

On January 6th I bought a loveseat, chair and recliner from Ashley Furniture in Orange CT to be delivered to my daughter's house in Stratford. I was given a delivery date of 1/16 at that time. On the 16th then called to schedule delivery on the 20th but all they had was the chair. The loveseat did not come in and the recliner would not be in until March. I was told the loveseat would be in the following week. I asked that they wait and deliver both the chair and loveseat at the same time. The next week came and went without hearing from Ashley furniture. On the 29th I left Stratford and flew back to Dallas. On February 6th I still had not heard from the store so I called to cancel the order. At that time I was told the loveseat and chair were in and they could deliver them next week (again). However, the recliner was now pushed out to May! I asked when the love seat had come in and why I was not informed or delivered the pieces.
I could not get a straight answer on that so I feel it may have come in two weeks ago when I was told it would be in and they just never called to deliver it. I again said I wanted to just cancel the order since the delivery has been put off several times and I have had to call them to get information instead of them called me to update them. I was then told I would have to come into the store with my credit card to get the refund. I told the girl I was in Dallas so what other plan did she have to get the money refunded. She was going to email a form for me to fill out to have the credit applied to my card. I have since requested this twice and still have not received the form. The next phone call I was told there would be a 30% restocking fee and the delivery fee is non refundable. Keep in mind they have yet to deliver anything. Their policy on their paperwork regarding refunds is ambiguous at best.
It states you pay a 30% restocking fee unless it is due to backorder situations. Since I have been given several delivery dates, I felt this comes under the 'backorder' definition. Apparently they disagree. As of February 7th, no one called me back as promised yesterday, and since I am out of their 'state' my daughter is having to deal with this. I feel they have not held up their end on any part of this, and now they want to retain 30% of the sale price for something I do not have (it is still in their warehouse) and the recliner will not be in until May.
They have not been forthcoming on information nor used good business practices with a customer. There have been too many dates thrown around on delivery and now they want to withhold 30% for no other reason than they feel they can. Since I paid for all this upfront, they definitely have the upper hand (and my money) so whether I agree with them or not, or feel they have not abided by their contract or delivery dates, I think in the end Ashley Furniture will have made money off me by simply doing nothing. Buyer beware when it comes to this company.

December 2017 visited Ashley Furniture in Sacramento. Was interested in purchasing adjustable bed and mattress. The person helping me did the best she could, but was not knowledgeable of the items. She requested assistance with each question asked (at least 5 times), and was very apologetic that her coworkers and her was in conflict, while trying to explain equipment, function, cost, etc. She explained that I would also need a mattress cover for protection/cooling. The cover was an additional $250. I purchased all 3 items and my purchase was delivered December 27, 2017. To my surprise the Ashley Sleep Respond mattress came with a mattress cover for protection/cooling.
I visited store to return the cover purchased separately, but the store manager (MR. RUDE MICHAEL **) will not refund. I don't need 2 covers. And the person assisting me obviously didn't know the mattress came with a cover, that is unless the store practices deceiving their customers. I WANT TO RETURN THE COVER AND RECEIVE A FULL REFUND.

They finally called yesterday and have some lame excuse as to why it will now be another 3 to 4 weeks before it is suppose to get here. They are in no hurry to make up for it either, they just wait until next month's order and/or delivery, and act like that is a perfectly good solution.

On 1/27/18, my wife and I walked into the Mechanicsburg PA location to look at recliners. We purchased 2 of the same type, and asked about the internet price, since the price for said recliners was approximately $150 less online than in the store. We were told in the store that since we were financing, the internet pricing was not available, and we had to pay the full showroom price.
When I checked online, I was told differently, that there was no minimum purchase for financing online and that I should have been offered the lower price. When I called the store, I was given two different answers two different times. One was that internet pricing was not available, and one that it was, but that it was not at the time of the purchase, which - again was incorrect, as I was told differently online. I was told I could cancel the purchase and reorder online at a $25 restock fee, even though the order hadn't been placed or delivered. So now I'm stuck with paying the higher price because some commission greedy salesperson couldn't be bothered to be honest. Not pleased at all, and will most likely not order again.

My wife and I ordered 2 recliner armchairs from Ashley's in Salem Oregon and when the assistant was typing out the paperwork he asked if we wanted new recliners or shop floor demos which could be delivered within several days, rather than wait the 4-6 week period. I chose to have new ones as the demos have taken a lot of traffic from many people sitting in them for however long. I did wonder whether we would get new ones and thought about going back to put a mark on the shop floor demos but thought the chairs would come all nicely wrapped up if they were new, something I was so wrong about. The chairs were delivered on Friday 26 January 2018, we were delighted. The chair my wife chose was a cloth material and after sitting in it for some time my wife began coughing which gradually worsened as the evening passed on.
We discovered over the weekend that my wife was experiencing an allergic reaction to the chair and we covered it over with sheets, and even that failed to prevent my wife from being affected. I called Ashley's several times to report this and asked to come and take the chair back as it was having a terrible effect on my wife. I was not getting any response from them and decided to call their office in Portland Oregon, stressing the importance of having this chair removed and asked them give the matter preferential treatment and to treat it as an emergency because my wife had to go and sit out in the carport to get fresh air, the fumes from the chair were still affecting her even though it was covered over.
Eventually I moved the chair out onto the porch. I finally got someone to come and take the chair away but not without a fight to have our money refunded. They told me they don't do refunds and said I would be given store credit. I explained I don't want store credit as there were no other chairs my wife liked in the store, she tried out everyone with the assistant present. After some serious argument concerning this they finally gave in and refunded our money.

I told them that, “You fix it for yourself and I paid for a brand new sofa and please send and replace with the brand new sofa. I don't need a repaired sofa at my home.” Anyway they did not accept what I wanted even having paid extra 500$ for accidental warranty besides 5000$. I was told that the parts have been ordered will take 15 more days to be delivered to the warehouse. After 15 days Today I got a call from customer service saying that, "We have that parts available" and now the technician will come after another month on 28th February 2018.

Pictures were taken by the repairman and sent to Platinum warranty and I followed up with them in two business days to let them know that the cushion cover was still not a match.
The manager that I spoke with insisted that cushion cover was a match and the difference in the color was due to wear and tear, which is not the case. In the picture, it can clearly be seen that both the finish and stitching in the replacement cushion does not match, but the Manager refused to acknowledge that. She just continued to state that the correct cushion was sent and refused to assist any further. After waiting for nearly a year for the replacement part I am still unsatisfied. When the warranty was sold to me ($500) by the salesman at Ashley I was informed that basically everything that could happen to the furniture would be covered, which I now see is not the case. I am now forced to purchase a new couch which will definitely not be from Ashley.

On September 13, 2017, my husband and I purchased a living room set from the Ashley Furniture store located in Lakeland, FL. Our trouble with the furniture began upon delivery as we noticed two small nicks in the fabric on two of the armless chairs. The delivery personnel stated that we had 48 hours to contact Ashley and request a return, and or replacement.
We reached out to Ashley the next morning and was informed that once we accepted the furniture, there was no return policy in place. Instead they stated that they would send out replacement covers and schedule a technician to come out and remove the old and install the new ones. While the tech was at our home making repairs we pointed out some other concerns with the furniture which he addressed by removing the pillow filler material from one chair and installing it in the front of another, which was sunken inward. The technician stated that he would order replacement filler for the chair that he removed it from, and we should schedule to have another tech come it to install it.
We waited about two weeks and after hearing nothing form Ashley's reps, we called and were informed that the tech never ordered the filler as part of his report. The customer service rep stated that she would order it and that we should call back to schedule visit once it arrived, which we did. However in the meantime, the seat of the chase lounge developed a large bulge. We were instructed to send in pictures, as is the norm with this company, and that they would get back to us to discuss as how it could be repaired.
Once again after several weeks of no response, we called Ashley and was informed that they never received the photos, and to resend them via email as opposed to texting them. We reached out to them after a week or so and again the rep stated that she did not see the photos, but was able to locate them after searching the system. She scheduled the technician who actually had to disassemble the lounge in attempt to install new seat cover. Upon disassembly, he discovered that it was not the cover that was sent to us that was the problem, but that the foam cushion under the cover was defective and stated he would have Ashley order it. The tech also discovered that the armless chair had a broken zipper, and he would be unable to reinstall the filler that had been removed until a new cushion was ordered.
We again heard nothing from Ashley until we reached out to them at which time the rep originally stated that the technician did not issue the report. After assuring her that he submitted it in our presence, she was able to locate it and order the cushion. I think that it is ridiculous that new furniture should require this many service calls over a 4-5 months period, or at all for that matter. This furniture would certainly meet any "Lemon Law" as it pertains to vehicles, and we feel that there should be some form of justice in this case.
Oh, did I mention that the Technician discovered a broken piece of wood in the frame of the armless chair that will require a brace to be installed as well. We would strongly recommend that consumers looking for good furniture stand clear of this operation as it appears to be bordering on a "scam'! $2200.00 ought to get you better furniture and at a minimal better customer service. Images of all of the replacement packaging are attached!

I don't know if the parts at the plant were assembled incorrectly, but the bed frame does NOT lock into place. If you are even able to force the frame to even remotely fit, any movement on the bed and the whole thing collapses. Other bed frames usually have a hatch with screws that will secure the bed frame to the boards. Instead, they trust on this terrible locking mechanism that does not at all lock. Would NOT recommend Ashley furniture as you do not get your money's worth.

Now, when it actually came for Ashley warehouse into delivering our stuff, they gave us such a hard time with their inflexibilities that they can just deliver our stuff in two rounds, therefore, we'll have to wait. So me and my husband had no furniture for almost 6 weeks and slept on the floor.
Now since 2017 -> 2018, one of the couches we bought from Ashley in 2015 for 2500 dollars has the leather ripping off. We purchased insurance of 400 dollars on all our furniture. We went back to the store and they said they dont handle these claims. They gave us a number to call. We called this number and person on the other end asked us to email him with the product details and photos of the damaged area. Since then multiple calls and emails that we've sent to them over the last 3 months have been ignored. So, basically the insurance we bought on the furniture was of no use. Very poor service and unprofessional. At the same time, other stores like Value City have responded appropriately to any complaints and replaced damaged pieces on time.

Hello, we used to have a Ashley Furniture 9 years ago in our house and we liked them too much. One month ago we decide to buy another Ashley Furniture set. Before we order their product we bought some cheap furniture from Furniture America and the quality was bad. So we decided to go to a Ashley Dealer and look for better product. We liked it the Signature design by Ashley Signature design by Ashley sofa and loveseat. We purchased from a online retailer since Ashley and the dealer were out of stock for unknown time. When the furniture arrived after almost a month-We were completely disappointed. The leather was already cracked on some spots at the time from taking out of the box. The seats were scratched, all of the back cushions have damages and cracks form out of the box.
Called back the retailer who sold us the items and they were fair enough: ASHLEY FURNITURE IS NOT THE SAME LIKE USED TO BE. You will get more cracks at the first week of usage. They have poor quality now. I'm completely disappointed with the quality that we purchased from Ashley. We tried to call them 2 times-even if the new warranty tag was attached and says 1 year warranty. They don't want to do anything with their product, or even to send someone to at least to check their product, since they don't have any quality control in Vietnam.
I can tell the Truth. The first sofas that we purchased for 800$ from Furniture America have the same-maybe a little bit better quality (at least they came without damages) than these from Ashley. Both sets were manufactured in Vietnam without any quality. Probably the same factory. THE ONLY DIFFERENT WERE That we paid 1550$ for better quality from Ashley that never got that better quality. So, 2 weeks of usage -we don't have any pets, 1 grown kid-the Ashley furniture keeps cracking and peeling the leather-suppose to be a real leather, but is not. The whole point -We are not happy and want someone from Ashley Furniture Group to come to the house and check their quality and realize that is so bad. WE NEED A REPLACEMENT OR SOME OTHER OPTION.
Thanks,

Purchased Furniture at Ashley. Was told verbally about their return policy. And was shown on the purchase paperwork that they do not accept returns for things like close-outs, accessories, etc. When our furniture was delivered the coffee table was much larger than I expected and crowded the room. I called to see if I could return it the day after it was delivered. I was told no and was stonewalled when I tried to talk to a manager. It's a shame because I do plan to buy more furniture, but I will never purchase furniture at this store ever again.
I also purchased two couches. Before delivery I canceled the two couches because I found them cheaper at Costco. The cancellation complied with their policies and I never received the couches. The cancellation was 1/7/2018. It is now 1/26/2018 and I still have not received a credit back on my credit card for the couches. When I called the store the receptionist admitted that their central office has been contacting the store urging the store to authorize the refund, but it still hasn't been done.

I would give this company negative stars if I could!!! How many times do you have to call and speak to someone about your complaints and they just give you the runaround! So many people told me they would call me back or look into it! No calls back and that includes the general manager of the fricking store!!! We have been lied to numerous times!

Absolutely, without a doubt, the worse furniture purchase I have ever made. Embarrassed to have anyone see the couches. Within 4 months of owning, the fake leather (I know) began disintegrating. I didn't expect the furniture to be a life purchase. I like to replace every 5-7 years, but this is ridiculous. I called for help and was assured the material would be replaced ASAP. That was 6-7 months ago.
Can't even cover due to reclining end seats and was completely mortified over the holidays having anyone see it. Purchased 3. Don't I feel like a fool. The ads are so deceiving. They lure you into thinking you a purchasing something decent. No one going in expects high end, but I do expect decent. Be warned... Ashley Furniture is low end garbage. Although I have a wonderful experience with other reasonably priced furniture, I would advise people to RUN, RUN, RUN before purchasing ANYTHING from Ashley Furniture. I am guessing they figure people will simply get tired of calling back and give up. Shameful.

Unfortunately, I could not give zero stars but if I could, I would. I purchased the Wilcot sectional (five pieces for $2800) in July 2017 and had pieces delivered on 7/28/17 and I picked up the remaining piece mid August 2017 from the warehouse. I immediately began to notice that the cushions (the ones that we sit on) would not stay on the sofa. They kept slipping off. I contacted the sales person, Ruben ** and he said that I could purchase some non-slip foam, the thin kind that is used to line drawers/cabinets. I purchased that and it still did not work. Slowly but surely, the cushions slipping off the sofa would be the least of my problems. This sectional began to look worn and dated. The outer covers of the cushions constantly move 2-3 inches below the edge of the foam cushion.
I have to adjust the out covers of each cushion to fix every other day or so. The back fabric of the sofa is loose. The cushions are lumpy and have divets. The cording is wavy and not straight. I contacted Customer Care in December and they scheduled an outside company (this is what I’m told) to come and see what the issues are and to take pics of the sofa and see if it qualified for repairs. The company did not show up during the time frame that they said they would and I had to reschedule. They did come out the second time that we scheduled. The technician took pics and a technician was scheduled to come out a third time. When that technician came out, he removed the covers from the cushions and explained that he could not properly repair them, because there is a seam running down the middle of each cushion. Adding more poly-film would create a “butt crack” effect.
He didn’t repair the back of the sofa because he said it wasn’t on the order. Not sure why because I was told on the phone when they scheduled me that it would be done. He did say that he was going to order a new cushion cover as the cording was defective. He came on 1/13/18 and said someone would call me within three days. No one ever called, so I called Customer Care on 1/19/18 and was told that “my ticket was closed out accidentally.” I have a technician scheduled to come this Saturday, 1/27/18. Honestly, I don’t think any amount of repairs done is going to get this sectional up to the expectations that I have for it. There is wrinkling in the fabric, the cording is defective, lumps are throughout the sofa and the slippage of the outer fabric is terrible. The fabric on the back of the sofa is very loose. Hooks should be installed to prevent the cushions from slipping entirely off the sofa. All of these defects are noted in the pictures.
Please let me know if this is an issue that I need to take up with the manufacturer or if this is something Ashley Furniture can help me with. I would like for the entire sofa to either be repaired so that no defects are noted (which I honestly do not think can be done), an exchange of this sectional for a similar one in price and size or a refund of what I paid. I know that $2800 may not seem like much money for a large company such as the manufacturer or Ashley Furniture, however, it is a substantial amount of money for me. From the pictures that I have below, it does not appear that this sectional is worth the $2800 that I paid. The quality of this sectional is very poor. I have never before been a customer of Ashley Furniture but I decided to shop here and purchase because I liked the look of the sectional and the size. I had heard from numerous people to not purchase from Ashley because of the quality of the products sold there.
I went against my better judgment and decided to give Ashley Furniture a chance, hoping that I could prove others wrong. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Also, I have many concerns IF the sectional can be repaired. What’s going to happen after the one year warranty has expired? Will I have any recourse if the sectional returns to the shape that it currently is in today? What I do not want is an empty promise that the sofa will be repaired and brought up to standard when in actuality, that cannot be done. I need a low maintenance sofa, one that does not require that I unzip every cushion to fix the slippage of the fabric on a daily basis, or constantly have to shift the cushions back onto the sofa. My household does not have any children in it. My husband and I are empty nesters. I can’t imagine what this sofa would look like if we used it on a daily basis or had children jumping and sitting on it.
I did purchase this sectional with a credit card. I will also follow-up with my Credit Union to see what my rights are as a consumer. In the meantime, please let me know if I should be directing these concerns to the manufacturer. If that is the case, could you please provide me with contact information so that I may forward this information to them? I appreciate any assistance you can offer. I did email Customer Care in Texas with all of this information today, 1/23/18 but I highly doubt they will be able to address all of these concerns. There should be six pages of pictures. If they did not all come through, please let me know.

My husband and I bought our dining room set at Ashley's on June 2017. The dining set had a bench as one of the seating areas. We have two seating areas, a breakfast nook and the formal dining set we bought from Ashley's. With this being said, we never use our formal dining set from Ashley's, only during special occasions which we can count on our hands the times we've used this set. On New Year's my sister in law sat on the bench and it broke. I know that sounds insane but I swear that's what happened. As my husband and brother in law attempted to take the broken bench out so we can continue having dinner, the bench came apart into more pieces and mind you, my husband was being extra careful as we didn't want any more damage to occur. That week I called customer service and explained what happened. I was asked to send pictures of the damage so I did.
I then received a call back from them saying that there is no way they would replace my bench or fix it because it was beyond repair. I admit that the damage looks horrible but that is not our fault as we attempted to take very good care of it. I explained to her that we don't even use the dining room set but that didn't matter to her. I asked to speak to managers and I even spoke to the home store manager. She basically called me a liar saying there's no way that damage could have happened from someone just sitting on it. In order for that to happen there must have been a factory malfunction is what she said. I then proceeded to tell her that that must've been my case as this was a very exaggerated break from a furniture piece. She said if that was the case that I had to report it sooner before it Broke. I bought the five year warranty and she advised me to lie when calling them because there was no way they would believe me.
I called GBS which is the warranty I bought for an extra cost but they have not gotten back to me even after many attempts of me calling them. As we would sit on the bench sometimes I would hear cracks, I would then inspection it to see if anything was broken but would see nothing so my thoughts were that the bench was just falling into place. Just today I noticed a crack on one of my tables legs so I called Ashley's once again to see if there is anything they can do. As I was taking a picture of the crack, I noticed that on the other leg there are cracks too!
I'm currently waiting on a response. Like I said, we take good care of our house and furniture so I don't understand what is happening. I am very sad because They basically called me a liar, and offended me. Not to mention, my husband and I saved money for quite some time in order to afford this. I feel like it was such a big waste of money as the dining set was over $2,000. Also, my sister in law was hurt after the bench broke but no one seemed to care for that.

This is regarding my return request in progress for the sectional. I have been wasting my time talking on the phone with Ashley customer service since November now. I had purchased a sectional and paid delivery fee from Ashley Online store in May 2017. I travel a lot and had not noticed the issues with the couch until November where it started to make noise when sitting in a certain area and the cushions started popping out (just when I started to use it). I called them to repair (since it was within warranty). Their repair team nicely informed me of the manufacturing defect and the broken frame. I called for a replacement which could only be scheduled for Jan 2, 2018. The new product arrived with another defect. I took the day off to be able to receive this but Ashley wasted my time yet again. I have spent hours on the phone being redirected between online store and store agents.
Then on Jan 20, they decide to schedule another replacement delivery without asking me - just left me a voicemail. Last I talked to an agent at the online store, I had asked to speak to their supervisor but of course they never called. When I called customer service for the 100th time, this time to refuse delivery which was scheduled without my consent, the agent named James was not just rude but disrespectful - would not let me explain the problem instead make snarky comments about how if I buy a million dollar BMW, I cannot expect a refund even if it was defective. Is this the kind of customer service Ashley provides to repeat customers? They said the delivery was put on hold per my request but I had to call 3 more times for that to be completed (who knows it is still complete) or Ashley will charge me 80 USD for rescheduling.
I have not accepted the offer for a replacement for the damaged item that was provided to me. I am expecting a refund and am not willing to accept a replacement of a bad model that Ashley is offering. Two items of the same model showed up defective at my place. I don't believe your policies account for these types of exceptions where they are repeat mistakes from the seller. You also need to protect the customer. I refuse to pay 2000 for a bad product. Also, the amount of my time they have wasted with their repeated bad products is unbelievable. I am definitely least inclined to buy from Ashley anymore and will be closing my credit card with this company given the behavior. Even small online companies have a better customer service. I am also attaching picture of the attempt at delivery of the defective replacement that also looks like a used old product. I want my refund including the original delivery fee I paid.

With the kids finally out of the house, my wife and I decided it was time to go out and purchase a "high quality" living room set. We checked out a few stores to see what our options were, and in the end, we ended up going with Ashley. We purchased an entire living room set (sofa, love seat, recliner and table set). The seating was covered in a beautiful brown DuraBlend leather. I originally had some questions about the "DuraBlend" leather but was assured by the sales lady that it was every bit as tough and durable as real leather and that with proper care, would last a lifetime. Imagine my surprise, when after a relatively short period of time, the seating started (for lack of a better word) cracking. At the location of the cracks, the DuraBlend leather then started separating and peeling. This was shocking to me for a number of reasons.
First, this started when the furniture was only around 14 months old. Second, the furniture was receiving very, very little use. Third, some of this peeling was occurring in spots that had little or no human contact! I contacted Ashley to see how they planned to remedy the problem. They informed me that the product was no longer under warranty and that I was S.O.L.
They offered to send a man out to look at and possibly repair the problems. They would charge me a $75 trip fee plus $20 per every 15 minutes that the repair man was on site. This is how they stand behind their product. This is how they treat a customer who spent over $3K on their product a little over a year ago. When I asked the customer (no) service guy if Ashley was comfortable selling furniture that would last less than 2 years, he replied, "Well sometimes you just get a bad piece of furniture"... I can promise you that if you purchase a living room set at Ashley, you're going to one of the people who "gets a bad piece of furniture"... You've been warned...

I bought a blue leather sofa from Ashley Furniture, November 11, 2017, I was so excited when it arrived on November 14, 2017. By November 16, 2017 my skin started itching every time I sat on the sofa. Then I broke out in a rash/hives which sent me to the doctor four times, the last being January 08, 2018. I no longer sit or go in the room where the sofa is located. For the last two months I have been in contact with Ashley customer service to replace this sofa for medical reasons. They asked for pictures of my medical issues and they wanted pictures of the sofa. I sent pictures of my rash/hives and the blue leather sofa. The first two customer service rep. was very nice and helpful, saying that they was sorry this was happening to me, and they will put the claim in and someone will contact me.
After that I spoke with customer service five more times, each one saying they could not do anything without a doctor note. Each week I spoke to different customer service rep. and each week they became more rude until the week of January 08, 2018 which was when my doctor gave me a doctor note confirming my allergic reaction to the sofa. The last two reps. I spoke to was James and Trish, who informed me that there will be No Replacement of the sofa. They did not care if I had a doctor's note that customer service told me I MUST have to move forward with my claim and get a replacement. Trish had the nerve to ask me what reps in customer service did I speak with because Ashley don’t do replacement.
I could not believe Ashley Furniture do not stand behind what they sell. Ashley Furniture need to fire their whole customer service team. When you ask to speak with someone higher up who may can help you they will tell you this is it. No manager/supervisor. No one. Ashley is a Big Brand.

I purchased a couch and loveseat just over a year ago and it is the worst furniture I have ever owned. I sent them an email explaining my unsatisfactory purchase and not one word of any sort. It is so bad that none of my friends want to take, for free, my current set. It broke a few months after I purchased it and they did send someone out to fix it, then broke again, sent someone out again and fixed it. It sinks to the floor like we have had it for twenty years when it's only been one year. Completely awful.
Updated on 06/16/2018: I have purchase two sets of furniture over the years from Ashley. The first set was good so we went to get a second set. It was half off and it was only $1,000 for both the sofa and the love seat. I feel like this should have been my warning of "you get what you pay for"! Within the first year I had to have them come fix it three times because the bottom kept breaking and you would literally go to the floor. I tried to go to the store and ask them if they could give me a discount of some sort on a new set and they were not interested in it at all. I tried emailing customer care twice! Then I called this week, managed to get someone in purchasing who then got the store manager to call me and then was offered $100.00 off of a $2,300.00 set. I said, "$100?" It has been awful and I feel like you should label your products with "life expectancy" if this is what it's like.

I should check the reviews before I went to the Ashley Furniture store. With this review I just want to let the people know don't buy anything from that fraud store. They don't know what is the meaning of customer satisfactions. They don't give you call to sort out the issues. You have to call them again and again and when you explain this thing to the customer service they said it is a busy season. That's why they did not called me. If they are that busy then they should tell the customer when the customer enter the store like, "We can't sell anything right now because we are very busy." I had to take the day off from my work for the replace furniture delivery and on the delivery day the delivery guy told me, "We can't deliver because we check the furniture in the truck and the new one has some damage too." They don't understand how frustrated is that when you lose the money from work and have the same problem.
I can't even canceled the furniture order because according to their policy I have to pay cancellation fees. It is not my fault, they delivered the damage stuff. They should check the furniture before they deliver. They should give me that fees as a harassment and the frustration which one I am having right now. It took too much time to called the customer service but they don't help you to cancel the order even you reported before 48 hour and on the top having same issue again and again because of that that crazy policy. So it my humble request to read the review before you buy something from that store so you don't make a mistake like me.

Ok, fine. The next day my husband unpacks the tables and starts assembling them. The coffee table was fine but the side table was cut or manufactured incorrectly which pissed me off because Ashley prides itself on manufacturing their furniture. But it happens so we call them.
They said "well if you don't pay for delivery that's the risk you run." We asked what can you do for us and, they say we have to wait another three weeks.

Bought leather reclining couch and loveseat from Ashley Furniture. Was told that this was top grain leather. That is why we paid so much for it. We went with Ashley Furniture because the salesman told me that the warranty they sell covers all damage, “including rips, tears, punctures, if your dog scratches it or rips it apart the warranty will cover it, it covers everything.” One armrest on the couch is peeling which is strange because if it is top grain leather there is no way it should be peeling. I was even told so by the store manager when I went to complain about having trouble with the warranty. That’s the other problem, we have been trying to work with the warranty company for months!
At first they said they won’t fix the peeling because it is not covered no matter what they supposedly sold me. Then the warranty people said they would cover it and the puncture hole on the side that the delivery people put. They said they would not cover the crooked console that is causing the chair to rub against it and will eventually ruin it. They said they are mailing the leather that the repair person will need which we received. When we called the warranty company back to set up an appointment they said they will have someone call us back. That was several months ago and we keep calling them and they say they have to have someone call us back to set up the appointment. Of course no one called us back. Then they said they will have a manager call us from the warranty department and that did not happen either.
A few days later we finally get a callback, not from a manager like they promised. This person said that they will not cover the peeling nor will they fix the crooked center console. They continued to give my husband the third degree instead of showing customer service. The lady asked my husband why we did not report these problems right away and he said that we did and have been trying to get this fixed for several months now. The lady was rude and raised her voice to my husband and did not let him speak, when she was done with her rant my husband asked to speak to a manager. Then was told there was nothing different that a manager can do for us, after calmly requesting for a manager many many times they supposedly put the manager on the phone. They said they would not cover the damages, but will do us a “favor” and send someone to fix the puncture that their delivery men did.
We are again waiting for a call to schedule a repair person to come to the house. They gave a referral for a leather repair company that we can pay ourselves to fix the peeling. They said they would email it to us but of course we did not get that either. I’m beyond upset by this entire experience. I have not received such bad customer service before. The manager in the store said they should credit us for the couches because they should not be peeling, I have not heard anything back about it. The salesman in the store lied to us about the warranty, I’m pretty sure we were also lied to about the couches being made of top grain leather, and customer service acted belligerent on the phone. This company should be sued and put out of business. I wanted to buy more furniture but it won’t be from Ashley.

The way the item was boxed when you open the box and remove all the parts the tabletop remains in the box topside down and you assemble the table upwards from the underside of the tabletop upwards until table is fully assembled and then you pick up the table and flip it over onto its feet. After assembly was complete and table was positioned onto its feet we noticed that the front left corner of tabletop was crushed.
On Monday 01/15/2017 I called Ashley customer service and informed the customer service rep of the damage and asked if they could send us a new tabletop and I could switch it out with the damaged one. She informed me that they could not and maybe I could get a discount on the table but it wouldn't be much or I could box the table up and send it back. I informed her that was impossible as the way it was packaged in Vietnam I could never duplicate it. The box was 6ft long, 24 in wide and 18 in deep and weighs about 75 lb.

When I filed the claim and sent them pictures showing several chips, scratches, I was told that I would have had to report it within 48 hours of noticing the damage.
Otherwise they do not accept damages. I also spilt out the nail polish and called them to come and fix it, but they are saying I should not wipe it off after the accident happened! Because I did call them in, they cannot send technician. I explained I have a 7 months baby at home and cannot leave nail polish on the table until they come. The manager replied back to me "sorry you have to! That's the store policy!" What a shame that store and their warranty coverage is. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!

I purchased my couches (top grade leather, according to Ashley Furniture - Robert LA) after suffering the Federal declared disaster Flood and losing every possession our family owned. Upon our selection the sales associates recommended the extended warranty covering everything but jaws and claws for five years. After losing every material item, some insurance on our items gave us a warm fuzzy. Typically I deny all extended warranties that require purchasing but due to our recent devastating event and asking what we believed were all the right questions. In order to purchase these items we took out an federal SBA loan to replace items (no insurance).
Less than a year and multiple calls to Ashley (without response) the leather has worn, scratch marks from clothing (not pets), discoloration, disjointed seams, wrinkled leather on the back and sides, seams that are coming apart. (We believe everything except the discoloration is due to the lack of properly constructing the items, causing unusual damage for top grade leather, unless it is not really and that was fraudulent).
After sending endless photos, per Ashley's request, we were immediately told the photos (which were visible when sent) were poor and it was "normal wear and tear". Having "Always" had leather furniture of the same color, there should be almost no flaws. Now we have junk furniture. And they refuse to honor the purchased extended warranty. After finding out that each Ashley location is franchised, we requested the owner's name and contact and was denied the information (guess he knows what he is doing). All we have asked is for them to honor the extended warranty we purchased and the only exception being jaws and claws.
It is now our position that not only have they committed fraud, by selling warranties and misrepresenting the item of which they are selling to the consumer with no intend to honor them if requested but also preying on disaster victims and capitalizing on the disaster victims but offering guarantees/ warranties. They sold us a product stating that it was of the highest quality and grade, then they sold us a warranty to protect the high quality item and neither were true. Had they honored the warranty we would have been satisfied, but they have continued to maintain a "they won't take care of it..." Ironically, they haven't even stated it is not covered or an explanation. An explanation now would only be an excuse for their horrible business practice and possible fraud. Ashley Furniture has victimized, already victimized people by federal disasters for their profit.

DO NOT BUY THE FAKE WARRANTY. They will lie and try to tell you the warranty will cover pretty much anything that happens to the chair/furniture. This is a bold face LIE. They dont cover pretty much anything on the furniture. My metal bracket in my chair broke but they dont cover anything structural. WTF kind of warranty doesnt cover anything structural? That is absolutely stupid! That Grace the service manager there is a major ** on top of it all so be warned when dealing with him/her (hard to tell by the voice). That man/woman needs to be fired, she is incredibly rude.
Their furniture is way overpriced. In fact the chair I purchase was built differently from the one on the sales floor. Thats right! Mine has a big wooden rod right in the back location holding the frame together which isnt there on the one on the sales floor! It makes a night and day difference in comfort. Who wants to sit in a chair with a big rod in their back?!?! I spent $2000 on a POS that I 100% regret. NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT BUY HERE. BUYER BEWARE!

I bought a sectional couch Lagaro from Ashley Furniture on Thursday. I had been looking for a medium brown couch and decided one day let me check Ashley Furniture. The saleswomen brought me to the back to see the Lagaro Couch. It looked nice not too dark in color. The couch was delivered the next day. Great right! Well not so much. The men unloaded the couch quickly and I did say this couch looks much darker then the couch I saw in the showroom. I was already alarmed by the diff in color. Then within 30 min of the delivery men leaving and it is so quick they put everything together that you don’t even know which way to look. I noticed on the bottom of the couch the leather was scrapped off. We also noticed that the couch was lifted off the ground on one side.
When we measured the pieces one of the pieces the armless chair was an inch shorter than the rest of the couch. So not only is the couch a lemon but the color is incorrect also. I quickly went to the website and looked at my picture that I took from my phone in the showroom and the couch def looked lighter than the one I had. Then I went to take a look at the website again as I had been on it a few times the day before to make sure the color was what I wanted. And the color on the website was lighter as well.
However, the was no color name listed on the first page of the website. In my thoughts "Ok this is my couch." When I called the first thing they said there is no returns which was never even told to me. Ok but I have a couch that is damaged and the color is not depicted correctly in the showroom or on the website. She said "Well the showroom it could look different because of the lighting." So you're telling me the couch is that much lighter in the store because of lighting. That seems misleading to me? If the couch is damaged upon delivery and not the correct color depicted in the store due to lighting as they tell me. And your website is not even updated with this Dark Brown! Then how can there not even be an exchange for the other color Saddle?
I paid $2900 for a 4 piece sectional and nothing is correct! I was told that "Yes we can replace the pieces that are damaged." However I am displeased with the misleading lighting in the store and the website not being updated. I was also told that colors on the site are not always the same as there is a diff in pictures. Not that much of a difference! Maybe 2% not 10%. The first page of the site you will see Lagaro smaller sectional and there is no color listed. Then if you do go to the last page on the 5 piece sectional the color saddle is listed. The color dark brown isn’t even on the site for customers to even check and the color in the store with the lighting did not look anywhere near the dark brown couch I am being told I am stuck with.
Big companies customer service are just robots. No one can take authority. The couch is defective all around and the color is depicted lighter in the showroom. And the color isn’t on the website Saddle is. I want to be able to exchange this defective couch for Saddle. Also the exchange no refunds or returns policy was not ever ever verbally stated to me. Shameful customer service all around.

Ordered a desk. It was back ordered. Finally showed up. In pieces with two delivery guys and no instructions. They cross threaded and stripped several screws. Left one out. But I didn't notice the problem until they left. Now I have to jump through hoops to get it fixed. They refuse to pick it up. They should preassemble and inspect prior to delivery. This is my third and last Ashley purchase. Unprofessional and no regard to customer satisfaction.

Should have looked at the reviews before walking into Ashley Furniture. I have never seen so many negative reviews for a company. Against my better judgment I decided to order a power recliner because it seemed comfortable and was a reasonable price even though it was on another site for less. The salesman informed me that I would have 24 hours after delivery to return it if it didn't work out minus a 10% restocking fee. Wasn't thrilled but ordered it anyway.
Went back into the store after examining the recliner again I decided it wouldn't be the right fit for me, so I called customer service to cancel the order, which was still 7 days out. I was informed that there was a 10% "cancellation fee", of which I had not been informed and even though it hadn't even left the warehouse I was responsible for the fee. The customer service supervisor was rude and condescending and offered no solution or compromise. She was unconcerned that I was unhappy and unlikely to ever step foot in another Ashley Furniture store.
Well, lesson learned and I recommend shopping anywhere but Ashley Furniture. Horrible customer service and experience. Wish I could give the review zero stars. Now to wait to see how long it takes to get my refund. Sadly I'm not too confident that it will be an easy process. Stay away! Off to La-Z-Boy I go for my new recliner. Well worth the extra money for quality and superior customer service!

Four years ago my husband and I sold our old house. We were moving into a bigger home & needed quite a bit of furniture. We liked a lot at Ashley & went with them. Bad idea. The salesman was a bit manic. He was running between us and a few other customers. He kept saying we could take our time, yet when we wanted things measured, he assured us it would all fit (sectional & coffee tables). Anyways we were told over & over how everything was built from scratch but we'd have it all within six weeks.
We bought a full bedroom & living room set. Delivery was a nightmare. Everything came piecemeal. They bring the bed but not the frame. The mirror for the dresser but no brackets to attach. It took much longer than six weeks, I want to stay it was closer to 3 months before we had it all. Our bed from the start was a mess. Creaked like mad when we moved at all, the mattress shifted, etc. they sent someone out - who propped wooden sticks under the slats that the bed sat on. Come to find out (2 ruined mattresses in 4 years later) there was supposed to be a board between the mattress & frame.
The dresser drawers are hard to open & shut & 1 is stuck open. The coffee table we were assured would fit in between our sectional - did not. So it's placed in an odd vertical way. Not to mention the numerous chips in the tables, which happens by setting down something. Our sofas - completely worn & peeled within a year. They sag horribly now, to the point where I want to buy new already. It's just my husband and I, not a bunch of kids or family around, so the way these pieces have worn so quickly is hard to believe.
When I called numerous times to complain about delivery - I was given our delivery fees back & basically told that's it. When I tried to use our amazing warranty for any of it- was told to read the contract carefully again - & found basically someone would have to take a machete to our furniture to get anything. Overall, if I could give negative stars I would. Since our problems began have heard from dozens of people other horror stories. The pieces we purchased from Value City furniture were cheaper & better! BUYER BEWARE!!!

I purchase a two section couch for over $1,800.00 with Ashley Furniture and at 5 months had to replace all the cushions because they were coming undone and ripping. The only reason they were replaced was because it was still under 1 year of warranty. Then 6 to 7 months afterwards it happened again and I decided to take advantage of the $299.95 insurance coverage I purchased with MontageFS through Ashley Furniture and they denied the repair. They will only cover your Furniture if house burns down or your dog takes your whole couch and destroys it. What are the chances of that happening? Think about it! So from my experience I wouldn’t purchase from them again, if you do buy at your own risks. Not good quality furniture.

Purchased a bedroom set in November. Originally scheduled 2-6 weeks which was fine. At end of 6 weeks told it would be a bit longer and would call me next week. I waited another week before calling myself for an update. Now being told some has arrived but other pieces will take another week or two before I'm able to get delivery. I've paid for delivery, and the only solution I was given is to deliver part of it to me and then I can pay for a 2nd delivery fee, or come pick up part of it myself at a location over an hour from my home. I shouldn't be required to pay additional delivery charges when something is already weeks late, or have to pick up something on my own when I've been charged to have it delivered.

We purchased 2 couches and the “platinum plan” about 3 years ago. For 2 1/2 years I have been sending emails, making phone calls and going to the store to have my couches repaired. To no avail. The seams started separating and one of the electric recliners broke within 2 months. We called the store and they told us the warranty expired and to call the protection plan company we paid 250.00 for. They told us they did not cover splitting seams. As a matter of fact when we read the plan, they really didn’t cover much. The salesman told us it covered “everything”.
That’s a lie. Finally someone came and sewed the seams and fixed the broken wood on the recliner. Shortly after, the couch started to fray (large strings hanging from the couch with pulls) and more seams have separated. For 2 years I have gone back and forth trying to get someone to help me. I did get a call saying they would send a technician to clip the strings. I asked if I could contact someone else and that was a dead end. Continued to email anyone from Ashley. On November I received an email stating someone from customer care management would be contacting me.
Today is Jan 11 2018, and I still have not heard from anyone. Customer service is as bad as their furniture. So in the end, I have wasted 2 1/2 years waiting for help and I have a couch that is falling apart, I also have a 250. Warranty that is worthless and am still waiting for someone to contact me. I will never buy from them again.

We purchased $5000 worth of furniture less than 2 years ago. The salesman pitched quite a sales pitch when telling us how valuable the Platinum Warranty Protection plan is. Said it covered EVERYTHING... let scratches/damage, stains, tears... everything. So of course we bought it. Had we known it was a big lie, misleading and false advertising, we would have saved our money. Tried to file my very first claim today. One issue being a tear in the seat of our power recliner. So, was it covered? No. Why? Because not only did I not report it the second it happened, I also had no idea what initially started it. Second issue. A tear on the back side of one of the couch cushions that runs horizontally. Was it covered? Again, no. Why? Because it's on a seam and again, I wasn't sure what caused it, other than it being a popular place to sit on the couch.
Oops, honesty isn't the best policy, I guess. Now, that's considered normal wear and tear. They don't cover that. What??? Is that normal for a cushion to split in the back and to be considered normal wear and tear?!?! I am beyond livid. I asked if we could get a refund for the warranty since clearly they won't let you use it for anything. The rep said we probably could, but it would likely be pro-rated. Wait... again, what??? Pro-rated? We haven't even used it and we would still lose money on that? Never again will we buy from Ashley Furniture. We were completely misled by false advertising, which in my eyes, is a crime. Just disgusted.

Don’t donate your hard-earned money to the Ashley Furniture thieves. Bought a new house this year and tried checking out Ashley to find some furniture. Rather than order a bunch of stuff at once, I started with an entertainment center, something relatively low cost for a start. The transaction was smooth and the unit was delivered on time, so I decided to go for more. I decided to get some couches, as I was hosting my family for Thanksgiving for the first time this year. I went in on October 28th and made it very clear that I needed something that would be delivered before Thanksgiving. I ended up going with a leather sectional and spent nearly $3000. I figured with Thanksgiving being a month out, that should have been plenty of time.
The sales associate that took my order said he felt getting the sectional by Thanksgiving shouldn’t be a problem, but if for some reason it wouldn’t come in on time, he’d let me know. A couple of weeks went by and I hadn’t heard anything about a delivery date yet, so I called to check on it. Mind you, it takes them forever to answer the phone, as I learned through the many phone calls I had to make over the next couple of months. You don’t get put on hold, the phone just rings and rings and rings for 10-15 minutes straight and nobody answers it. Keep calling throughout the day and you might get lucky.
Anyways I get through eventually and the person tells me the delivery is scheduled for December 5th. That obviously missed the whole point of getting them in time for Thanksgiving, and I was annoyed that nobody bothered to call and tell me that. Meanwhile I could have been shopping around elsewhere had they notified me. The sales guy Anthony ** offers to check warehouses in Lexington and Indianapolis to see if there was a possibility of them being able to get something in time for Thanksgiving. He never bothered to call me back about that, as I learned was also pretty typical.
At that point, I had to decide whether to keep the order or cancel it. I decided to keep it since I needed couches anyway, and it was an inconvenience that it wouldn’t make it in time but at least I wouldn’t have to deal with it again after that. Boy was I wrong about that. December 5th rolled around and I got the notification that the sectional came in. They send you an automated text message with a delivery date that they pick. If that doesn’t work for you, then you have to call in (and go through the pain of trying to get someone to answer the phone as it rings endlessly). So once again, after getting someone to answer I try to tell them that the delivery date they picked doesn’t work and I need to reschedule.
At that point, the woman I’m talking to tells me that the system shows that they aren’t actually in, and that she can’t schedule the delivery. After a very confusing conversation of me then asking why I got notified that they were in, and her not being able to tell me why they can no longer deliver them, nor when a new delivery date would be, I gave up and said I’d call again the next day and try to talk to the sales associate that originally sold the sectional to me. I go through the multiple attempts the next day to get the store to answer their phone and finally get a hold of Anthony. He confirms that something is wrong with the order and that he’d look into it and get back to me.
This time he does actually call me back, and he lets me know that the sectional came in, but part of it was damaged so they have to reorder it. Usually places with halfway decent customer service would offer to expedite this since they’ve already missed the goal of delivering by Thanksgiving, and have experienced yet another problem with the order. But no such thing exists at Ashley. The only option they offered me was to reorder the piece again and restart the entire process. So here we go again, and I’m thinking maybe the sectional will come in by Christmas even though that would be very little help to me.
The week of Christmas I get a new text notification that couches had arrived and they would be delivering them Saturday the 23rd. I had told Anthony that I wasn’t going to be in town for the holidays but no surprise that message never got relayed either. So I call them (I think they answered in under 15 minutes of nonstop ringing this time) to let them know that I’m not going to be in town, and to ask for alternative dates. I was going to be off work Tuesday the day after Christmas and even though I had planned on spending that day with family, I offered to drive back home a day early, missing time from my family’s Christmas holiday, to be available for taking delivery and finally put this headache to rest. She said ok.
Saturday rolls around and the delivery guys are calling me at 6:40 in the morning to tell me they are trying to deliver the couches. I told the guy that I already spoke to the store to tell them I was not in town, so I’m not sure why they are trying to deliver them. I reiterated to him that I was going to come back in town early on Tuesday, same as I told the store days earlier, and he said he’d put me down for Tuesday morning around 9:30. Confusing that they still tried to deliver on Saturday but whatever. So I make the drive back from my family’s Christmas to Louisville Tuesday December 26th so I could be home in time for the delivery guys. 9:30 comes and goes and I finally call the store around 10:00.
They tell me that they don’t see my order scheduled for delivery, meaning not scheduled for today and not scheduled for delivery on any day!! At this point I’m livid and have lost any and all patience I’ve had in dealing with this joke of a company. In my line of work, when you screw something up this many times, you do whatever it takes to solve the problem and get the customer their goods, but no such courtesy exists with Ashley Furniture. I told them they need to do whatever they need to do to get that furniture on a truck and deliver it that day because I’m not wasting any more of my time with them.
Seeing that it was 10:00 in the morning, there was plenty of time to call back one of the trucks nearest the store and get this crap delivered. Maybe the guys would have to work an extra hour that day, or maybe they bump someone else who hasn’t had 5 problems with their order already, but when I asked the woman what she’d be able to do, she basically said there was nothing she was able to or willing to do, other than to put me back in queue for delivery when they had another opening. Which meant I would have to burn another vacation day from work, assuming they even show up. Since this woman was not any more helpful than a call center in another country, I told her I’d call back another day to speak with a manager.
The next day, I called and spoke with Anthony again. I told him I wasn’t going to take any more vacation days off work to sit around my house and wait for their delivery guys to no-show again, so as a last ditch effort I agreed to take delivery on Saturday Jan 6th, the earliest weekend that I could be in town and at home. However I told him there needed to be some compensation for these screw ups. He said he’d have to submit a request to a different office, which usually took a day to get a response. 2 days went by and I didn’t hear anything so I called back because I figured they were just playing the waiting game to stall until they delivered them and then tell me they weren’t going to do anything in way of a discount. At this point, they just started giving me the runaround, stopped returning my calls, and every other lie in the book. They claimed that the next day response would now be a 48 hour response and they’d call me if they heard anything.
6 days go by and still nothing, so I begin calling again, and they still just say they haven’t heard anything. Every time I ask to speak with a manager or the sales guy, they are “with a customer” even though there are hardly any customers in their store any time you visit. There is absolutely zero sense of urgency with anyone at this place. When I push for definitive answers and threaten to cancel the whole order and be done with them, they finally get on the phone with somebody at the other office and ask for an update, only to tell me that they would probably offer me an insulting $100 off, but they also now tell me that it has to go through more levels of approval.
That’s when I did what I should have done 2 months ago and told them to cancel everything and that I was more than happy to spend my money with any number of places that actually appreciate their customers and are willing to earn business. There are tons of furniture stores out there, and trust me, there’s nothing special about Ashley Furniture that sets them apart, so take your hard earned money and give it to someone that doesn’t act like they’re doing you a favor. The irony is you think you’re better off visiting a store where you can talk to a real person and get help if there’s a problem, but the way they do things, you’re really no better off than if you ordered from a website online.
In true fashion, if you think the above was enough, now they are now refusing to refund my money, claiming that it takes an unknown amount of time to process. Anyone who has used a credit card in the last decade knows how easy refunds are at any other reputable merchant – they process the refund on the spot and you see it on your statement within a couple of days. Yet, I have seen no documentation at all that they have even initiated the process. When I asked them for any documentation showing evidence that they have even processed the refund, they refused to show me anything and kept giving me the generic response that it is in their system for processing. At this time, I am disputing the transaction with my credit card company and filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau.
I found it hard to believe that one company can be this difficult to deal with. In my case, I dealt with multiple people at the store and all seemed to be equally unhelpful, so maybe it was just this store? When I decided to check the Better Business Bureau website about the store, I found that they have zero positive reviews, 15 negative reviews, and 77 customer complaints against them. I don’t know how that got them an A- score with the BBB, but I learned that they only use customer reviews as 33% of the overall score, and they only post reviews after the BBB and the business review them (not sure how a business gets to weigh in on whether a negative review gets posted on the BBB website, but that’s a different story).
I then saw ConsumerAffairs.com shows 2176 reviews and complaints with a 1.2 out of 5 for overall customer satisfaction for Ashley Furniture as a whole. ResellerRatings.com gives them a 1.01 out of 10 based on 106 reviews. The more I looked, I found complaint after complaint online, all very similar to mine. I get that it is hard to earn a 5 star rating as a business, but you have to try really hard to be so terrible that you earn a 1/5 or a 1/10. To put it in perspective, most people don’t buy something on Amazon or eBay without a 95% or better seller rating.
That solidified it for me concluding that this isn’t just an isolated incident, but in fact a companywide mentality of poor service and screwing over customers. If you still want to order furniture here after reading this, I’d encourage you to do your own research online and ask yourself if you really want to donate your money to a store run by crooks. For me, they are holding close to $3000 I’ve given them for over 2 months, failed to deliver anything from the order, and are playing games with my refund. There are plenty of other honest stores in town and online that would gladly compete for your business and treat you with fairness and respect, so no point in giving these guys a dime.

We bought a sectional about a year ago from Ashley. The back cushions are completely sagging, the cushions you sit on are flat and have had to be switched around multiple times. When you sit in a certain position you can feel the frame of the couch in your back. I’ve called customer service twice. One person was very rude and told me nothing was covered even though I bought the extended warranty (which is pretty much useless). The next person I spoke to told me it was covered then transferred me to someone else who said it wasn’t. Seems to me like I’m just getting the run around. Now just slightly over a year later I’m forced to purchase another couch. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM ASHLEY AGAIN. Absolutely terrible customer service. They do not stand behind their products that only seem to last just beyond the manufacturer's warranty. Total scam artists.

Purchased a recliner. When it was delivered it was out of shape but I reluctantly accepted because they said I had a year to get it fixed if there was a problem. Well it never got better. Called the store and was redirected to headquarters. Headquarters directed me to the store. Turns out that the chair is defective where different pieces of wood were used instead of a single piece on one side compared to the other side. This is truly poor construction. My complaint is that they don’t honor their warranty. I make sure to tell as many people as I can about my experience. Buyer beware right. Should have come to this site first. Wanted to put no stars.

In November my husband and I decided to buy a New bedroom set. I decided to check out what Ashley’s had to offer. I fell in love with the Greensburg bedroom design. The salesman quoted me over 6,000 for the 5 piece two side tables and a chest. Wow. I felt it was pretty expensive. I went home to talk to my husband and decided to go on Ashley’s website to see if there was anything else he would agree to purchasing. To my surprise the 5 piece bedroom set was on sale for 1849.00. I was extremely excited. We both went to Ashley’s the next day to talk to the salesman. He wasn’t available therefore, I ended up dealing with another salesperson who was amazingly pleasant to work with. I mentioned that I was concerned that if I bought it that day, that it would be at a better price during Black Friday. She said she would honor the Black Friday price should it change.
My furniture was delivered the day before Thanksgiving and my nightmare began then. The delivery guys were not professional at all. The one guy stripped the screws as they building the bed. Sure enough he cracked the bed rail. I said I’m sure they won’t have a problem replacing it. Then they bring in the dresser. Right off I didn’t see anything wrong with it. They then bring in the chest. They bang it and right in front of me, the delivery guy grabs a permanent marker (not a wood marker) and proceeds to buff it out. When reviewing the furniture I found all the damage areas. The dresser was completely cracked inside. There were dings all over the place. Before they left I was on the phone with Ashley’s to inform them that I did not want these pieces. She stated that they would be exchanged but that they had to stay in order to follow protocol.
Later I find out that by accepting it, I approved everything and that the damages would have to be repaired. I made a big stink about it and managed to get them to agree to receive new pieces. Remember the Black Friday promise? Well sure enough, they had an additional 10% off. When I asked the store manager refused to honor it??? Ok so delivery #2 the exchange of the chest and dresser was the following week. Guess what? The second delivery was worse than the 1st. All pieces where damaged. Once again I requested new pieces. This time they did not leave the second pieces. Long story short, today January 6 I waited what was to be the 4th attempt to receive new furniture that has no damage and guess what. It was damaged as well. In total I have sat around over 20 hours waiting for Ashley’s to deliver the furniture which they can not seem to get right.
If you saw the pictures you would be in awe how they could have even put any of those pieces on a truck for delivery. The damage was so evident it just shocks me. Now I am waiting for them to call me back to discuss this final attempt. At this point I just want them to pick up the furniture and refund my account. I’m so dissatisfied and disappointed with Ashley’s. It is beyond words. Ashley's states they strive for customer satisfaction. If that was the case, they would have made sure that the 2nd delivery attempt was pristine. Never mind the 4th time. Won’t buy from them ever again. I hope they do not give me a hard time about returning their terrible furniture. Just look at the pictures I have attached. Would you accept this when you are paying 4,235.00 for it?

Shortly after Thanksgiving, I inquired about a dining table set for Christmas dinner to be hosted at my new home. In store, an associate helped me arrange shipping from Ashley Furniture store directly to my home and said the delivery men would also set up everything included in delivery.
On December 6th I received my dining room set and the delivery men set up the table and chairs. When the men were done, I examined the entire dining table and chairs and found nothing wrong and everything was perfect. Followed by a phone call from Ashley Furniture to ensure everything was good. Only 3 days later I noticed a crack in the wood on the leg of the table that was never there before. It was impossible for the crack to come from me or anyone in my family because we hadn't used the table yet. I immediately called Ashley Furniture customer service to report the damage noticed in the wood. While inspecting the rest of the table, I also noticed a chair had a chip in the wood as well. The first customer service representative said to take photos and email them to determine what can be done.
After sending photos I never received a follow up from anyone from the company. I had to call customer service again and a new representative said the same thing. Submit photos to determine what can be done. I immediately felt frustrated from the lack of organization customer service portrayed. A week after receiving news the piece in the leg of the table was replaceable and the company would ship a new leg to replace the cracked leg, not only has the same crack that was initially noticed getting bigger but a brand new crack began to form splitting the wood in half on the other leg of the table.
I once again called up customer service requesting to speak to a supervisor about partially being given something off because at this point the table seemed unsafe to use. Not only did this ruin my son's 19th birthday on December 19th and Christmas because my family and I were unable to use the table, but the timely manner of my concern fell on deaf ears to anyone I called in customer service. Customer service refused to let me speak to a supervisor about my concerns for my table. Customer service then reached out to me to say the legs would ship 2-3 weeks and then called after 2 weeks to say it would take an additional 2-3 weeks. Quite frankly this is so disappointing. I would never recommend this company to any of my friends or family ever again. For what I paid I expected this to be well-structured. Please do not waste your time or money.

I placed an online order 3rd week of Dec 2017. Rec'd email that my order would be delivered Sunday 1/7/18. It's now 1/5/18. Rec'd several text messages today that I needed to confirm delivery date. Even rec'd email that my delivery would be between 12:30-4:30pm. Also rec'd 2 voicemail messages that I needed to call to confirm my order and if I didn't call my delivery would be canceled and I would have to reschedule. Call had to be done by 7pm. I called around 4:30pm 1/5/18 and was sent to automated message to verify my address. They had me at apt 3 instead of apt 302 so I waited on hold 20 minutes to talk to a representative.
Finally got a rep who told me that my order was on backorder. No one had called in in the past 2 weeks and when I ordered there was nothing online about it. When I expressed my aggravation about this without yelling or any profanity I was rudely hung up on. Before she hung up she told me that the automated text messages wouldn't tell me about the backorder and that this happens a lot. As a retail manager I had already written my schedule to accommodate this schedule delivery. At this point I could not reschedule my associates to accommodate the Ashley Furniture issue. I had already promised my old dresser to a friend and had my clothes in suitcases.
I called back after being hung up on and waited another 20 minutes to talk to a live person. When I finally got to speak to another "rep" I told her what happened and asked to speak with a supervisor. After another 5 minutes someone picked up and once again I explained my situation. I was basically told that she would have heard the conversation that I described since they are in a "small office" and she "would have heard". So now I am feeling like I've been called a liar. She said there was no way to tell who I had talked to me and asked me to put her on hold and tell her what number I had called. Same phone number and same really bad on hold music. After explaining everything to this "supervisor" I was put in hold so she could check if there was any way that my chest could be delivered.
After another 5 minutes on hold again I was told that there was nothing she could do. At this time I told her that I just wanted to cancel my order. She apologized which did me no good in getting my order that I was told that I was going to get and told me that she did "Everything she could do" and that I should be receiving an email that my cancellation was put in and that I should be getting my money refunded. Worst customer service ever. I have bought most of my furniture from Ashley both in Indiana and Florida and have never had these issues. At this time my clothes are in suitcases, my bedroom furniture that matches the chest that I ordered has no dresser and I WILL NEVER SHOP ASHLEY FURNITURE AGAIN NOR WOULD I EVER RECOMMEND ASHLEY FURNITURE TO ANYONE I KNOW.
As a retail store manager I would never allow any of my staff treat even the smallest order the way I was treated tonight. Apparently Ashley Furniture has more than enough customers and can afford to lose recurring customers. From the bad reviews I have read since this happened tonight, I am surprised that anyone shops there at all. DO NOT BUY FROM ASHLEY FURNITURE UNLESS YOU WANT DISAPPOINTMENT AND RUDE "CUSTOMER SERVICE". Buy your furniture anywhere else. I work too hard for my money and would rather live out of suitcases than go through this ordeal again.

My furniture is not even a year old. I have had to have the cushions replaced on the couch. Sat down on the new ones and the back goes down and knees come up, very uncomfortable. One of the arms on the loveseat is loose. I was told by the so called customer service rep that she looked at the pictures of both items and they looked fine so it is my perception that there is something wrong with them???? She refused to allow me to speak to a manager and told me to call the store. So I did but of course they said it is not their problem, and again I was not allowed to speak to a manager.
I was told to call customer service??? This has been going on since 11/1/17. My old couch was 20 years old and was in better condition, should have had it reupholstered. I feel as though I am getting the runaround because one year will be up on 1/29/18. The repairman who replaced the cushions was the only one who was the least bit helpful. My friend's Ashley couch is ten years old and is in great condition, so I guess at one time they did make a much better product.

This issue is regarding a purchase of a recliner through the Ashley Furniture website, not a retail store. The delivery men were severely intoxicated and the recliner was not assembled correctly. Both guys were so intoxicated my Mom asked them to leave her home as she didn't feel safe with them in her home. I called Ashley Customer Service regarding the delivery company and the broken recliner. Ashley sent a technician who confirmed the recliner frame and mechanism were damaged, hence ordered an exchange recliner.
However, my Mom is very nervous the same delivery company (men) will pick up / exchange the broken recliner. I filed a complaint via Ashley Furniture's website regarding the delivery staff and for them to NOT schedule the same delivery staff go to my Mom's home. The only response was to contact the retail store...many times I told them the transactions have been through their website and phone.

You call Customer Service to have your delivery scheduled. They tell you dates available, so you choose a date. However, you can't choose a time. You will get a text or phone call telling you the time, one or two days before delivery. We got our text stating 12/29/17 between 1-4 pm for the delivery. My husband and I both take off work to be here for the delivery and we took off the entire day since we could not schedule a time in advance, just had to wait for Ashley to send a text regarding that. Ok, we can. Not great but we can deal with that. We are out shoveling our driveway from 12-12:30 since we had snow falling that day to have a clear path for the delivery drivers. Come inside and see a call from a random cell phone number, they did not leave a message. I call Ashley Customer Service around 2 pm to see if they were having any delays due to the weather, they state "no your delivery will be between 1-4pm today".
5 pm, still no delivery of our furniture. I again call customer service. Customer service response "the truck called you between 12-1pm and no one answered". What? Did they ever come to our house? I was NEVER told the truck would call before arriving to our house. We were at our house ALL day waiting for the truck which never came to our house, never rang the doorbell but COULD have been the random cell phone number (that did not say Ashley Furniture) and didn't even leave us a message. Asked to speak to a manager, "there is no manager here for you to speak to. You will have to call Tuesday and reschedule".
No apology, no explanation, rude. Horrible and we took work off for this! Truck NEVER came to our house but supposedly called us and didn't leave a message. Really nice effort Ashley furniture. No one from Ashley Customer Service told us that when we scheduled our delivery we would first get a phone call. Wait the 4 days and call to re-schedule the delivery that never came to our house the first time, first available date is in 11 DAYS! Horrible all the way around.

I just wanted to let your company know how disgusted and displeased I am with my first and last experience at Ashley Homestore. My husband warned me that I would regret purchasing from you, and I hate to admit it, but he was right. I went to your Ashley Furniture showroom in Pasadena, TX on 11/24/17 and purchased a coffee table and matching end tables to the tune of $1,450.52. The store Manager, Thomas ** personally assisted me and he was very helpful. He told me that one of the pieces was not available and that it would take several weeks to have it in-stock. I agreed to the wait and he told me that for being patient, he would have all three items delivered to me at no additional charge. A very nice gesture. I hadn't heard anything by Christmas, so I called Mr. ** on December 26th to ask about the status of my order. He informed me that it was scheduled for delivery today, January 3rd.
When I asked for a time-frame so that I could plan my workday accordingly, he told me that someone would be contacting me with this information. I realized when I woke up this morning that I hadn't heard from anyone with Ashley Homestore, so at 10:00AM I called the store where my purchase was made. I spoke with Mr. ** again and told him that I had not been contacted with the delivery information like he said I would be. He checked the system and told me that my items were in stock but not on the delivery truck. He said that the reason for this is that one of the tables was damaged and another table would have to be ordered and it would not be available for delivery until January 26th! I understand that unforeseen issues arise, what I don't understand is why this transaction was handled so poorly.
Not one employee with your company provided me with as much as a courtesy call at any point over the past six weeks since my purchase was made. On top of that, had I not reached out to Mr. **, I would have missed a full day of work waiting for a delivery truck that wasn't coming. It's also very hard for me to believe that company-wide there is only one of this particular unit in stock. When Mr. ** told me that it would be a total of NINE weeks until I could expect to get my furniture (not taking into consideration that there may or may not be another setback), I told him that this was unacceptable and that I wanted to cancel my order, which he immediately did. With so many other furniture stores in the Houston area vying for market-share, it is important that retailers such as yourself realize that you're forfeiting a great deal of business due to your inability to even try to do right by your customers.
I have been anticipating receiving this furniture since Thanksgiving and the way my transaction was handled is simply not okay. At this point, the only recourse I have is to add my testimonial to the steadily growing list of dismal online testimonials that I have found. I only wish I had read them before I decided to shop with Ashley Furniture.

I bought a bed, mattress, chest and mattress cover from Ashley that was delivered on Dec 29th '17. Worth $ 7 K. Delivery crew that was a contractor, who came to deliver was forcing me to sign a disclosure i.e. they will be not able responsible for any damages, when I refuse to sign, he kept calling back his manager and after wasting my 2 hours, they delivered the furniture and didn't get the mattress cover with them. When I refused to sign up for the mattress cover deliver, he just signed in front of my own eyes on my behalf and left. I called Ashley Tukwila, WA store, Laura pushed me back to their customer service. I am dealing with their customer service for refund for last 5 days, I must have made 16 calls, spoke with all rude customer service reps and no specific response.
I decided to ask for a manager today and I learned that Ashley decided on their own to deliver a cover at my door today, when I made my wife check, it was a use repackaged cover. I spoke to this manager on Ashley 800 no# again and now she needs to get that back for me to get my refund... which could be another 14 plus days or more. I am frustrated by the way they expected me to follow up every day and still no refund. Never ever buying from them and would not recommend Ashley to anyone.

$2,500 sectional power recliner did not work from day one. That was Dec. 8 and it is still not fixed by Ashley. Asked them for full refund and they agreed until their pick up people got here and said there was damage on 1 piece. It had been in a spare room and not even sat on since delivered, so the microscopic 'damage' had to have been done at factory or on delivery, so small it would easily have been missed. So their customer service agrees to refund but then of course there is 'damage' and is non-returnable, classic unethical actions by corporate lemmings.

Purchased extended warranty, called there to clean my couch, I have been told it's not covered, because I was not sure where spots came from, if that was from food, or from body oil. So whenever you report any damage they want you to lie, that it just happened today and make a good reason, otherwise, will not covered, or they will find another reason not to cover, and I heard that a lot.

After they took my check not a single thing that came out of their mouths was true. Bought a bed and mattress. Paid cash. Delivery day comes. They are early, I'm excited. They don't have legs and the delivery team leaves while I'm trying to call the store because I don't know what to do. Now no bed, no mattress, 3 days off work. Store says call corporate. Corporate says call store. Delivery team states I refused delivery. Can't get money back for 10-14 business days. What a mess. Never again.

We went to Ashley Furniture with the money that we had saved up to purchase a couch that would last because our last couch didn’t last and was told the warranty didn’t cover what was wrong. So February of 2014 we went out in search of a new couch. After speaking with the salesman and being interested in the Durablend couch because the salesman stated it was puncture proof and scratch proof and would hold up better than leather. So we purchased this sectional and spent a little more then we had saved for it because we were assured it would last and if anything punctured the material it would be covered by the warranty. Fast forward to Christmas 2017. We have people over and notice two spots where the material is peeling off. One is inside the back of the couch that pulls down and hardly gets used and the other is on the headrest.
We assumed that on the headrest our dog may have punctured it (but it is puncture proof right). So that is what we sent in. We didn’t want to lie just to make sure it was covered but we also were not sure of what happen. We took the appropriate pictures. Filled out all the information to be told that they don’t cover the whole reason for us buying the couch. Extremely unhappy and after reading reviews on Durablend material it could just be the start of what all of the Durablend couches they have sold do and don’t want to own up to it. So now 3 years in we have to try to save to get another couch after being assured this would last.

I don't even think they're worthy of 1 star as I have been getting the run around for over 4 months with my $800.00 chair that needed service. For the record, I paid $800 for a $200 England chair. Originally I purchased an Ashley brand living room set, but it had so many flaws and I needed to have the service man out here so many times, that I asked to upgrade to the England brand, which was highly advised by the service person as he said it is a much better brand than Ashley. I want to mention that the serviceman never had or has anything nice to say about this company that he works for, which always makes me feel uncomfortable. After going back and forth, Ashley Furniture agreed to let me trade my furniture in for the "So called" better brand, which is "England".
I finally got the "so called" better quality furniture, but I see no difference in quality or workmanship than the lesser expensive brand, however, either way, I'm stuck with it since it was a special order (another one of life's lessons). I was really happy I paid for the 5 year protection plan as after about 3 weeks of having the new furniture, I noticed a stain on the $800 chair. I saw that it was still damp, so I knew it was fresh. I immediately called Ashley and they told me they would send someone out to clean it. They had no available appoints for 3 weeks! Are you kidding me, 3 weeks? So after this wonder stain fermented into my cushion for 3 weeks, the service man showed up at my door on my long awaited appointment date with a bottle of a chemical spray, and that was it. No steam cleaner or any professional cleaning tools, just a bottle of chemical crap. I wouldn't allow him to spray it as I could have done that.
He again bad mouthed Ashley in every way you can think, as he always does. He called them and told them that it needed to be steam cleaned, which he doesn't do. Okay, so now we were at the mercy of Furniture Care who is in charge of this part. After two months passed with no updates from Furniture Care, I called them and got nothing less than a run around. A few more weeks passed and finally someone called and said they will send a new cushion since we waited so long and since the stain was able to sit and really settle in for 2.5 months. It took another 2 months for this "so called part to come. (Of course I got the run around from Ashley and Furniture Care during this time). Furniture Care told me the part would come to me, but it didn't, it went to Ashley. Finally after a total of 3.5 months after the chair was initially stained, they called and said they would set up an appointment for 3 weeks out.
So now we're at almost 4 months. Lo and behold, the same service man showed up on Dec 26th with the part and when he came in and said, "this is a 4.5 hour job and Ashley only allowed me 1 hour"! Why was I NOT surprised at all. He made it obvious that he didn't want to be there for that long, so he asked me if he could take the chair with him, which I should have never allowed him to do, because we're now going on a week since he took it! I don't understand! Again he bad mouthed Ashley and said they always pull this crap. In the meantime, Nick from Furniture Care called to follow up on the service call and when I told him the serviceman Steve told me it was going to take 4.5 hours or more, Nick told me that that was absurd and that it should have only taken about 1-2 hours and that no job should take that long unless it was an entire living room set.
Nick told me he'd get to the bottom of this and call me back as soon as possible. Well, that was a week ago. I even called Furniture Care again today and left a message and insisted on someone calling me back. Elizabeth from Furniture Card reassured me that Nick would call me back, but ONCE AGAIN, I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK. I really should have insisted Steve doing the job right then and there, but I NEVER dreamed he'd have it for more than a day or two. Once again, I called Ashley today, Jan 2, 2018 and was on hold for 15 minutes, then a recording came on and said the voicemail was full and I was unable to leave a message and therefore the call was disconnected.
I called back and spoke to Amanda, who really showed she didn't give a **. First she told me the Supervisor was in a meeting, and when I called back 4 hours later, she told me he was at lunch! (DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE A PATTERN HERE)? So now they're holding my chair hostage and I have no idea what's going on with it. And for the record, it's now been 7 hours since I left a message for the supervisor from Ashley to call me back and I have yet to hear from them. I will NEVER purchase anything from them now, or EVER! I'm really glad all of this happened before my mom purchased her furniture because I referred her to them. Once I told her what happened, she went to an extremely well reputable furniture store. Maybe it's time for legal ramifications. Completely disgusted.

Then we told it would be delivered on January 2nd. I work nights. I got up early. Our delivery was supposed to be from 2-4 p.m. I received a phone call at 1:30 that the truck had broke down and I would have to reschedule delivery for two days from now. We have no sofa to sit on because we gave it away anticipating our delivery finally today.

Bought several rooms of furniture at Ashley in 2014. Within the first year, the bed frame became rocky, the genuine leather couches were peeling all over. After the second year, the Ashley mattress that was bought caved in, but not enough for the warranty. Contacted customer service who sent a tech to check everything out. None of this is considered a manufacturer defect. Stay clear, wasted thousands of dollars on trash. Not worth the money and very very very poor quality.

I fought them saying it was defective and I should not need to use the warranty. They did bring out another table, but it was not much better. I let it go for almost 4 years knowing that I could only used the purchased warranty one time. When I filed the claim and sent them pictures showing several chips out of the paper thin veneer and scratches and gouges all over the table top, I was told that I would have had to report it within 48 hours of noticing the damage - in other words the warranty is only good for 1 scratch!

When I built my new home 4 years ago, I purchased complete bedroom and living room sets. Within the first 2 years, I notice small nicks in the bedroom set and living room tables. When after 3 years my bed collapses, I call to use my platinum warranty. They send out a technician and I make sure someone is at my residence to meet them. As I was working, my mother sat waiting for 7 hours with no one showing up. I had received a call about 3 hours after the original time of the appointment range saying they would be there in 30 minutes.
After 3 hours, no one had showed. I call the company which stated they were there and no one was home. The female who answered the phone argued with me when I said I have 2 dogs that bark at everything and my mother was sitting 2 feet from the front door. She then starts describing a house from pictures that was nothing like mine other than they both have a white door. She refused to believe me, called me a liar and said there was nothing that could be done. I would have to start the process all over again. I had already waited a month for the appointment for the tech. So here goes another long phone call and another month and a half wait for a technician.
The technician showed on time, showed me pictures of the first house which was a neighbors with a different address marker on the driveway. He took pictures of all my damage and told me someone would be in contact. I waited another month and a half, no call. I call back again and they stated they would not be covering any of my damages as there was signs that it may have been older than 30 days.
It took them 3 months to get here! Yes most of it was older than 30 days due to the fact of the wait for them. I asked to speak to a supervisor who then went to her supervisor. I did receive a call the next day saying they would replace 2 end tables. The 2 least expensive items. The other would not be replaced. I asked about damage that had been noticed from the time of my first call to the technician coming which was definitely less than 30 days old. Due to the other pieces in the set having damage, they would not replace any of it.
Being tired of arguing and knowing I wasn't getting anywhere, I let it go. Now more waiting. I called back after 1 month of not hearing anything and they said that they had not submitted this to Ashley yet and someone would be in touch. Another month, the same thing. I was told I would be receiving a store credit as these tables are no longer made. I am now 7 months into this process and still no phone calls! I called back 3 weeks ago and they said I would have a call within 10-14 days. I have over $5,000 worth of furniture and every last piece has damage. The veneer is completely coming off on the corners. All the edges are nicked and peeling away. Will be calling again after the holidays to see if I will get anywhere finally. I do not want a store credit due to the fact that the furniture that is sold is complete junk. I will never spend a dime in that store again and have made sure to spread the word.

When my husband to be first suggested shopping at Ashley Furniture, I was not enthused... I didn't know much about them except they never struck me as a "quality-based" type store. We weren't in a hurry and after a while decided to give Ashley a chance. We went in a couple times and decided to purchased recliner, love seat and sofa with the condition that all be delivered by Thanksgiving 2 1/2 weeks away. The "salesmen" were seemingly doing all that they could to accommodate our wishes. We were promised delivery on time. That was a lie! We received delivery piecemeal... loveseat, no sofa, and recliner was missing end piece.
We were amazed, disappointed, disgusted, mad, and everything else... especially after repeated inquiries without any type of amends and someone always passing the buck and everyone not aware of anything that was happening. We even wrote to the corporate, to no avail... no response. We definitely do not recommend this furniture store. It is shameful. So much for giving the underdog a chance, never again.

I purchased a leather sectional not quite 5 years ago and started noticing that it was peeling away from the cushions exposing fabric underneath. I contacted Ashley Furniture Customer Service and they said the warranty only covers a 1-year window. They directed me to their repair company and their response was that this happens Quite a bit and some people's furniture will only last 1-2 years which of course Ashley Furniture doesn’t bother to give you that information. So basically I am OUT my money and have furniture that looks like I bought it from a Thrift store. My suggestion be very careful about what you purchase from Ashley Furniture. I personally will not make a purchase there again and I will make sure my friends and family are aware of the problem.

Ashley Furniture has a poor supply chain! Never order from this business because there are many flaws in their supply chain model. We ordered 3 beds from Ashley and needed a December 23rd delivery date. We followed up with multiple calls to make sure order was accurate and complete for 3 beds and that delivery was guaranteed. We received a confirmation of delivery email and text but did not disassemble and remove old beds until we got a confirmation phone call. After old beds were gone received call that order was missing a couple posts needed to assemble the king size bed. They had the posts but due to policy could not put them on the truck.
While we made frantic phone calls to resolve this issue before the truck left we got another call that there was a tear in the plastic covering on the king sized mattress and even though there was no damage they could not put it on the truck due to policy. We told them it was fine we would still accept the bed. Now you have to understand that there is nobody that can help you resolve the issue. One department can't talk to the other. We were able to talk to the warehouse and the store and multiple customer service people that were all sorry but they can't communicate to each other!!! Shocking!!! Next we get the phone call that the whole order was cancelled for delivery because of the issue with the king sized bed.
The truck left. The 23rd of December. House full of my children that came to visit. My first Christmas with my children in a long time and I had to send them away. Ashley could not deliver now until the 26th. My husband and I had to buy air mattresses. I could not sleep on the air mattress because of a neurological disorder. Nobody could do anything but give us a discount. Not solve the problem. I was so excited for this Christmas but Ashley was the grinch that stole my Christmas.
Thank you,

This is a terrible place to shop. I still am shocked at all the crap I'm having to go thru to get my order and now the technicians are straight out liars. The customer service people in AZ will tell you that you (in CA) are not home and therefore the technician left. First off they decided to just show up at 7:55 am and then I get a call at 8:15 am telling me they will there in 30mins. When that doesn't happen I call them in AZ and tell them they didn't come. This lady proceeds to tell me as her ** is in AZ that they did show up and no one was home. While I'm still in my pjs I have to argue with her that he never came as we have a full house plus a dog to all notify us when someone knocks at the door.
She keeps arguing and tells me he came and I wasn't home! This is your customer service??? I wanted to FaceTime her showing we are all in our pjs which most people would be on a Saturday morning. This company is a joke. The tech decide when they will come not the scheduled time you set up! Never ever buy furniture from this store! I bought all this before Thanksgiving and it's almost Christmas and I still haven't gotten all my items! Even dealing with the store manager hasn't worked!!! I spent 4K here and I wish I never did! Beware stay away!
Thank you,

Ashley made 4 attempts to delivery to me used product with scratches on it when I purchased brand new product. Bed broken on 1st attempt, delivery came without the hardware to put bed together on 2nd attempt, bed delivered without headboard on 3rd attempt, caught delivery driver gluing a piece of wood on 4th attempt. No one knows when a 5th attempt will be made.
Thank you,

I purchased a bedroom set and mattress 4 years back. The mattress has always given me trouble but after spending Thanksgiving in the ER and being told its sciatica I reached out to Ashley to look into using the warranty and having the mattress checked and replaced. I am tired of sleeping on my couch. Ashley was extremely helpful at the beginning, had me send photos of mattress and issues and sent a technician out to check the mattress. I then received a call that the technician did in fact say the mattress is defective and they would replace it, after I had it professionally cleaned, because there is a 2 x 1/4 stain on the top corner (technician noted it was most likely from sheets).
Why would I pay $250 + to clean a defective mattress that your technician said was defective??? No one, including management has been able to help us resolve our issue. I will not spend a few hundred dollars to clean a little spot for you to then turn around and say you will only give me a small percentage to use towards a new mattress. No one was able to tell me exactly what would happen next and how much I would receive from my DEFECTIVE mattress and they would not/could not give me that info. I will NEVER purchase from Ashley furniture again!

I am seeking a refund for an item which I paid cash for in August, 2017, at the Ashley store in Wichita Falls, TX, but never received the item. I purchased a leather sofa ($997.00), which I really love and a Serta Full adjustable bed frame ($1399.99). The sofa was delivered on September 19th along with a Queen adjustable bed frame. Upon discovery of the wrong size frame by the delivery personnel, I only accepted the sofa delivery.
I have since found out that the salesperson (BMW) who was going to order this item no longer works at the local Ashley Store. I have contacted Ashley Furniture in Wichita Falls as well as the Lubbock store, several times, with no response. I contacted Serta directly regarding the frame and was made aware that this type of frame was never available in a Full size. Any frames that were available in full size were double the price I paid, which I can’t afford.
I have had to contact Ashley representatives 3-4 times in Wichita Falls and Lubbock and each time I receive the same answer, “Tori is emailing upper management for a refund approval”. I am beyond frustrated over this situation. Actually received information from Josh who told me I couldn't have money back (according to upper mgmt) even though the item isn't available.
Thank you,

First, we purchased a bed and the footboard ripped. Ashley came out and replaced. The new footboard started to rip as well. I was told that the bed had received several complaints and we could go and do an exchange. We did the exchange. Delivery was scheduled for May 20 between 2:30 pm-5:30 pm. I was contacted on the delivery day saying the driver was a little behind. They didn't show up to my home until 10:45 pm that night. When they arrived to deliver the new bed, they didn't have the footboard.
I waited all day at my home for the bed to be deliver and they didn't bring the footboard! So the next morning I called customer service and they scheduled the delivery (with the footboard) for December 27th. Later that evening around 7 pm, I received a call from Ashley's Furniture stating the books were already closed when the customer rep scheduled my delivery for December 17th. Therefore, my delivery date has to changed to the next day December 28th. We have purchased a lot of items from Ashley's and I must say that you are not loyal to your customer. You have inconvenience me and my family multiple times!!! Very disappointed!!!
Updated on 12/28/2017: I placed a review on here on Dec. 22nd. The last issued was that I had to reschedule my delivery date for a bed exchange due to Ashley's delivering the bed without all of the parts. Well, they came to my home to deliver the bed (suppose to have all parts) but didn't have the footboard AGAIN! The delivery guy was very rude to the point, I had to get rude with him.
After he said he had to go because he had other deliveries, I got in my car and drove up to Ashley's to see what is going on. Ruben, the manager tried to be helpful. He explained to me that the footboard was not placed on the order. I asked him how do we get our money back because this is very time consuming and unorganized. He told me to contact customer care. I did. The lady tried to be helpful as well and explained to me the footboard for the bed is out of stock. I asked her if I could speak with a Manager because I would like to get a refund.
Rob (the customer care manager) got on with a SUPERIOR attitude. I asked him if the customer service rep explained my situation and he said no. I explained everything to him from what we were exchanging the bed, to two deliveries not happening. I asked him, "How do we get a refund?" He said, "We cannot give you a refund because you have slept in the first bed for a long period of time but you can do another exchange" (since no one knew when the footboard would be available). I said, "Well set me up with ANOTHER exchange." He said, "You will have to go to the store and do that because they would have to key in the order." I said to him, "The last exchange set up was done through customer care and we went into the store", everything was setup. All we did was select another bed and paid the difference. He said, "We don't do them here."
You will have to go into the store (With an attitude). So again, we still have the same ripped up bed in our room. And now we have to go in and select another bed and wait for the delivery on that. Your customer service of the delivery guy and the Customer Care manager is disgusting. They had NO sympathy that we have been dealing with this entire issue for more than 6 months. As much money we have spent with you, hopefully after this we will not spend another dime there.
Thank you,

I have had the most absolute horrible customer experience ever... from the HomeStore to corporate and no one will return my phone calls. I filed a complaint online no luck with anyone calling me. Same furniture forgotten twice delivered once with chunks missing... colored in chipped areas... hours late with no phone calls, appointments rescheduled without notification on and on and on. Beware there is no follow up and horrible management.
Thank you,
