    On 11/12 14 I purchased furniture from Ashley's and was told everything was in stock. This was important because a new tenant was moving to the house on 12/01/14. Left delivery date open, so that new house could be cleaned and vacated. Was under the impression that the living room set included a loveseat/recliner. On 11/20/14, furniture was delivered minus end tables, lamps, coffee table, rug, throw blanket, and lamps. A question arose about the loveseat. I expected a loveseat/recliner and received a regular loveseat. I call customer service and was told that the piece should have been a loveseat/recliner and to refuse the loveseat. Ashley would deliver a loveseat/recliner in the near future.

    On 11/29/14 Ashley's showed up with a rocker/recliner lounge chair and not a loveseat/recliner. I refused the lounge chair. It was now two days before my tenant was to move in. On 11/29114 at 3:05 P.M. I call the Palm Desert store and asked to speak to the store manager, Jessie **. I was told he was busy and talked to an assistant manager named Robert **. He said he would check into the situation and call me back. Instead he pawned me off to my salesman, Raul **. ** called me at 3:40 P.M. ** told me a loveseat/recliner was not available in that collection and that he would fax me information on a rocker/recliner for me to consider. ** never faxed nor called me back. I am now getting very angry.

    On 11/30/14, one day before my tenant moves in, I called Raul ** at 2:02 P.M. and he said that he would get back to me on a new delivery date. I asked him when, and he said he would call in twenty minutes. I reminded him that he never called or faxed me the day before, and ** Promised me that he would call me back. HE NEVER DID CALL BACK! On 11/30/14, at 6:59 P.M. I called the store and asked for the store manager Jessie ** or the assistant store manager Robert **, and was told that they were " both busy". I left messages for both managers to call me back that evening. NEITHER CALLED ME BACK!

    I now realized that I was dealing with a store that was interested in selling goods only and not interested in servicing their customers. It is Ashley's corporate culture not to return phone calls. I don't know how the managers got their positions, but I recommend "DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH ASHLEY'S!" On 12/01/14 Tenant is now moving into the house and missing some furniture. I called customer service in Wisconsin (I gave up on Palm Desert) and talked with Laurie a supervisor. She arranged for a final delivery of a regular loveseat on 12/09/14 and was very helpful.

    In summary, I am a retired executive who owned and ran three retail stores that sold outdoor patio furniture amongst other products. I did this for 38 years and know what service is or should be. The managers Jessie ** and Robert ** and my salesperson Raul ** don't give a damn about customer service. This is evident by their unwillingness to return phone calls and solve problems. A competitor (Mathis Brothers), a store at which I also bought furniture at the same time, is night and day compared to Ashley's. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY THEM - THEY SERVICE.

    Switched item I purchased for a lower model and then refused to credit my card. The customer service number takes an hour to answer and they suddenly hang up then they do this over and over and get away with it. This store and company needs to be shut down permanently. It is by far the worst store out there; the fraud I saw with my own eyes and heard with my ears is unbelievable. Whatever they say it is a lie they were trained to say. I'm calling every news station as this has to get out for the holidays.

    We recently bought a mattress from Ashley's. I did not know anything about the mattress and information on which one is good for back sleepers, side sleepers etc. I believe the customer support representative should have provided enough information on the firm level of mattress and which one will be good. Also he did not provide any information on the return policy. We bought a Ashley sleep foundation plush top mattress and end up getting the next day with lots of back pain. On contacting Ashleys furniture they mentioned there is no returns on mattress. Had the representative provided more information on the returns policies, we would have took a different mattress. Never going to Ashley's furniture again.

    We purchased a living room set from Ashley a month ago. When the loveseat was being delivered by their servicemen, they scratched it. We submitted a claim to have it repaired/replaced. For three weeks now we get the run around that someone will contact us to address the issue, yet we never hear back from anyone. Customer service is untrained, unprofessional, rude, unacceptably slow, and disinterested in our issues. I am a lawyer and travel a lot. I should not be spending 2 hours a day on the phone, or an hour in the store each day to resolve an issue which should have a quick and easy fix. Maybe Ashley Furniture needs to look at their reviews, as it seems I am not the only angry customer here, and address these very pressing matters with its customer service employees!

    What is worse is that store managers are just as inefficient, rude, and condescending. After three weeks of dealing with these issues, we asked to return the living room set (because as you may imagine, we have had enough and want to retract our money spent on products from a company, which does not deserve our business) and now we are told according to company policy, we cannot return the living room set! So not only did they immediately devalue our property upon delivery and are unwilling to fix the mistake, but they are not letting us return their damaged loveseat and get our money back! Next step will be filing a complaint with a consumer agency.

    We purchased Ashley's Westbrook Sleeper Sofa from American Furniture Warehouse in 2009. The Brand was Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. The couch fabric started tearing before we even had it paid off. Tearing is not included in the limited warranty. The sofa bed mechanisms came loose about a year later. Don't buy this brand, you will regret it.

    On October 14, 2014 I visited Ashley Furniture in Prattville AL and I purchased this grey sectional and I had to wait until November 1 2014 to receive the sectional and when I received it the sectional started to sink in the 2nd day. I contacted Ashley and told them about it. Well they convinced me to allow them to switch it out. Well they did and the new one did the same thing. Well by then my 3 days that they give you to return it had already passed and I have been just calling and calling them trying to get them to allow me exchange it for another brand or just have them give me back my money but they won't. So now I am going to call the Better Business Bureau to see what they can do for me.

    Purchased washer and dryer from Ashley’s furniture. Paid around $1700 when we bought them in November 2013. Three months ago, we had issues with the washer and dryer. The washer wasn't filling properly, we were getting white film on clothing, and we had a fire in the dryer. We had issues with the dryer before, like it just wasn't working. Finally, when the fire started in the dryer, they figured that the dryer was a safety issue so that they were going to replace that. That was Maytag though, not really Ashley Furniture. So Maytag came along and they ended up replacing both the washer and the dryer. They sent a store credit to Ashley Furniture. However, Ashley Furniture told us that we had to buy the exact same product and Maytag definitely did not want us to buy the same product. They wanted us to buy a completely new product but Ashley would not hear of it. So we ended up getting the same product in.

    Back on September 3rd they tried to deliver the dryer to me without the washer and with loose screws in the bottom of it. I refused to take that because I mean, if there’s screws loose in the bottom of it, why would I take it in because it’s already broken? I didn’t accept it. I waited 10 weeks for this because they ordered the wrong product the first time. They ordered the washer. This was the dryer. So then I had to wait another three weeks.

    I wasn’t home on the 10th when they tried to deliver the washer and the dryer this time and they delivered it in the house. And when I asked, “Was there any screws loose or anything?” they said, “No, we got you a brand new one.” Then on the weekend here, it would have been on the 13th, we ended up with water all underneath our washer. We had to move the dryer out and realized there were screws... We did have issues with the dryer right from the get-go. Like when we started it up, it made a lot of noise and it was vibrating pretty bad. So they said that they would put a service call out for us.

    When I talked to the lady, her name is Tanya at the customer service, she’s some high-up person there, she said that they are allowed to deliver broken things and that they will just have them fixed when they get to the house. I said that if they knew that something was not working properly, that they would actually deliver it. She said, “Absolutely not.” She said, “Sometimes, we deliver stuff and we don’t know.” And I said, “I totally get that.” But they tried to tell me also that they had switched out the product. I said, “How did you switch it out in two days when it took me three weeks each time to get a product in?” Because it was supposed to be a special order that I was doing that I didn’t realize. I said, “We ended up with this broken dryer and now we’ve got to get all these parts ordered?” They will not come back and take this and give us a new one so now I got to wait 14 days for the parts to come in and there’s actually more wrong with it than what we initially thought when the tech came over. We have lint coming down inside of it like really badly that could cause a fire…

    I have to buy a lot more appliances. And guess where they will be? I’ll be going back to the store that I normally buy stuff from.

    In 2011, I purchased about $4,000 worth of furniture from Ashley Furniture in Altoona, Pa. I was told to purchase the 5-year warranty, and if anything were to go wrong within that 5 years it would be covered.

    Within less than a year the couch and recliner started to deteriorate. I contacted the Montage Service Center and they compensated for the sectional couch because Ashley furniture no longer carried it, and sent the replacement piece for our recliner chair. Less than a year after that, the rest of the chair became damaged. I submitted a claim to Montage Furniture, and after several back and forth email messages, and a call from the supervisor, they said it could not be covered, because damage did not go all the way to the foam.

    In 3 out of the 6 pictures that I sent, it DID go ALL the way to the foam. I discourage anyone from buying any type of "leather" furniture from Ashley furniture, and certainly do not buy the protection plan. It is bogus, and they will not honor it. Also Ashley Furniture lied, saying that all damage would be covered. CRAPPY furniture, and SERVICE. This furniture did not even last 3 years... WASTE of money.

    I ordered a bed and nightstand on 10/2014. I was told to expect delivery 10 days after 11/17/14. That concerned me because I needed it by 11/25/14. The delivery date kept getting pushed back into December. Finally on 12/2/14 I cancelled the order and was told a refund would take up to 21 days!!! This is unacceptable. They took my money immediately and I must wait 21 days for a refund. How can this be legal? I will not purchase anything from Ashley Furniture in the future.

    Bought these 2 pieces, first time in a Ashley Store. They looked ok in the store. Waited 2 weeks for delivery. 1 table, box was damaged but we thought it couldn't be that bad, the piece screws we're completely out, cheap wood, staples (cheap) we had to glue everything together again, and re drill holes for longer screws would keep this piece together. Desk, was a little better, all the screws already fell out, but no scratches like the first piece. I guess you get what you pay for....crap. Will never buy from Ashley Furniture again, and I will tell all of my family and friends. Never had this problem, when I shopped at Fashion Furniture... think I will go back to them.

    Purchased a Mattress from Ashley's and my wife was torn between two mattresses - one pillow top and the other without a pillow top. The sales rep. said Ashley's is big customer service and would exchange the Mattress if we were unhappy. We selected a non pillow top and it was delivered. My wife woke up this morning with her hips aching so we contacted the store. We were told the store policy is NO RETURNS on mattresses. NO exceptions! Why didn't we go to RC Willey's or Mattress Firm????

    We ordered 2 couches, recliner and 2 end tables at the end of October. We were told they were behind so it would not be delivered until 11/19/14. We had our furniture moved out and ready for the new furniture and it never showed and no phone call. We called the store and they said they were unable to reach us. They were calling the wrong number--our home number but we had told them to please call either of our cell phone numbers. I gave the store the correct number and they said they would put in the computer. We never got a call, so I called again. They said they couldn't reach us again--calling wrong number again.

    After many calls I asked for the supervisor of deliveries. Spoke with a Sharon and she said the number was in the notes but not in the "right spot." Long story short- still calling wrong number; wrong couch delivered twice; during last delivery they gave us a yard job; called corporate office to complain and was told I would get a call back within 24 hours and still no call. I have pictures of the yard, but can't upload.

    We bought 2 matching sofas on September 28, 2011 in Jacksonville, FL. We moved to New York in Feb. of 2012, the sofas made the trip just fine in Pods. In June, 2012 the motor on the right side of the power sofa stopped working, Montage replaced it (we have the insurance). Then in December, 2013 the motor on the other side of the sofa stopped working, once again Montage replaced that one. The other sofa is not a power sofa. Now, about 6 months ago we started noticing the fabric flaking off the sofa where our heads sit. I contacted Ashley and they only guarantee the fabric for one year! I must say I will never buy from Ashley furniture again. The other sofa is beginning to flake in the same area as the power sofa. The photo shows the most wear on the right side where we mostly sit, of course! Very, very poor investment to purchase from Ashley.

    I purchased a bedroom set & when it was delivered, I found that the railing was severely damaged, so I returned the part & told the company to request a replacement railing to be delivered. However, the company never confirmed for the replacement delivery schedule until I called 5-6 times and asked. Every time I called, I was told "The customer service agent/manager is not here..."

    Finally, a week later, the replacement part was delivered but AGAIN, SAME DAMAGE!!! Customer service gave me the SAME run-around. Refuse it...request for return. I was very frustrated with their lack of service & asked to talk to manager, but was told they were in a meeting, that I would be called in 30 minutes, just like the other 10 times I called. I never received any calls back. I am now stuck with an INCOMPLETE very large bedroom set. And I will never do business with the Burbank, CA Ashley Furniture Location EVER again.

    My new bedroom set and living room entertainment center was delivered Wed., Dec. 3rd from Ashley's Furniture. The first time I sat on the bed, the bottom frame broke and a board cracked in half. It was late so I called the damage and repair dept. the next morning. I was asked to email a picture and they would call back. I did not get a call back for a day and a half. I was told as a courtesy they would ship me a new side board. I said "as a courtesy, you have got to be kidding me." I buy a brand new bedroom set and they aren't going to come fix my brand new broken bed. Not only were they not going to fix it but she said it's not covered under mfg. warranty. I got on the phone and got the runaround. Not one time could I talk with a Store Manager. Then I was finally told they are coming out on Dec 24 that is 3 weeks after delivery. They will come and try to fix. If they can't fix it then they are going to ship the board.

    It gets worse every time I talk to them and they get ruder. I was told by one of the customer service managers to go to Home Depot and buy boards to support. My husband and I decided to take the junk boards that are suppose to hold a king mattress and burn them. That's about all those thin boards were good for. I was glad I saved the metal frame from my old bed. We replaced the junk wood with the metal frame.

    The delivery guys left trash under my bed. They didn't put the entertainment center together properly. It was seriously about to fall over and the shelf was ready to fall on my tv. It also has scratches on it. My husband has to put it together properly and he's going to have to modify it with better bolts and support brackets so it doesn't fall down on any of my kids. And to top it all off, they decided all mfg. warranty is now voided and nothing will ever be covered under warranty because I have a small home business with 3 little kids I watch in my home daycare.

    This place has to be the worst place I ever dealt with. I will NEVER buy another thing from them and will warn everyone I know how hard it is to deal with these people. I found out my neighbor had the same problems. Her son's bed fell apart and the delivery guys left a mess. I really wished I had read these reviews prior to going there.

    I am a previous employee as well as a customer. I will speak honestly concerning both aspects. Ashley Furniture is a cheap and greedy company who builds furniture in an assembly line and pays the assembly workers by the piece so you can imagine how it is thrown together. They claim 'built in America’, and the misleading part of that statement is that though it is thrown together here in the United States, many pieces and parts are shipped in from overseas and used to build cheaper quality furniture. I bought a loveseat, and returned the first two at delivery. The 3rd still isn't as it should be.

    They speak of 'chemical free' furniture, but the chemicals and poisons used in the manufactured pieces from overseas are not as chemical free as they claim. On many days myself and co-workers would suffer nausea, headaches, and dizziness from the fumes when new furniture was placed into the showroom. They are in denial to avoid taking responsibility for these chemicals, as they stand on government approval for a 'safe level' of toxins coming out of this stuff. Maybe ONE sofa is at a safe level, but for those purchasing a room or a house full of furniture it is a health risk. Also, know that over time the breaking down of the stuffing fibers allows gases into the air every time you sit on the cushions. Let’s not mention working in 60,000 square feet of the stuff and breathing it all into your lungs day in and day out.

    As far as working as part of the sales team? And I use the word 'team' VERY lightly! Ashley favors their top sales writers, excusing their behavior. They cover up the lying, back stabbing, dishonest sales people and often take your hard earned commissions and split it with them to keep them happy. They find excuses to write you up to protect their greedy writers. The bottom line is that if you are a good, honest, and decent person, then stay out of this place! It’s a very poor system for any human being to work in. It’s the only company I have ever been a part of where you pay to work for the company.

    They give you a 'draw' that you pay back every week. They promise high commissions so you 'rarely' fall into the draw/red. Keep in mind you only get paid in the first place once an order is delivered, not at the time of the writing of the sale. If a customer cancels the sale, the hours you spent with them to choose it all is work for nothing. They also misled me in the interview process about the actual employee turnover numbers. I left two months ago and three more have walked since then out of this store. For every holiday the entire crew is required to work open to close three days running. You are required to work every single entire weekend year round. The thanks you get? It’s certainly not a paycheck. It is in the form of financial, physical, and mental exhaustion. Take care.

    Just purchased over $6000 of product on my son’s bedroom suite and our bed. Our son’s furniture was not correct when it finally arrived and we sent back. Sales lady (Angela) on first day we were there was very slick and told us what we wanted to hear "you have 90 days to bring back" on a TEMPUR-PEDIC and moving base. We purchased and gave it 2 weeks and figured out that for sure we could not sleep on it at all. Called Ashley back they said "well give it 2 more weeks and lets see if you get use to it." So we did, still can’t sleep on it. So we went in to the Ashley store. Then they tell us the $1500 base is not refundable!

    So after I almost ripped their head off for not telling me that when I purchased it we picked out a regular mattress that we both liked that was cheaper ($1200). Then they told us that the exchange had to be at the same price! Then we were very ticked off so talked to a manager (Nicholas **). He was no help at all. Told us however we could pick what ever out and he would exchange, costing us $300 to exchange the $2600 mattress! We agreed and waited until the day before the delivery date and called to find out that no order was made to deliver anything!

    My wife and I both got on different phones and both called at the same time. She was told that our son’s bedroom suite was now cheaper than we paid, (we were also told while signing financing papers that we could call and get sale price within the first 30 days). The lady on the phone gave the call to someone else that explained that because we financed we could not get the sales price! Would they really give us a sale price after purchase if we bought in cash? So do they give cash back to a customer when they have a sale on the same item they just purchased days before? I doubt it. My call was the 2nd call in the same day. Talked to the same guy (John) that told me he would find out and call back, waited 7 hours and called again and then he says he will get the manager to call me.

    So no new mattress for us just an over priced sponge on a motorized base that we can’t sleep on. Don’t be surprised if Ashley Furniture closes in Greensboro. I will do my part in making that happen! If it was legal I would burn the building down!

    King size bed frame broke within two weeks. Purchased a king size mattress, box springs, frame, foot and headboards from the North Branch location on Nov. 2nd. Two weeks after delivery the bed crashed to the floor, the frame broke along with middle supports. Called customer service and they did give an in store credit. Went to Woodbury Ashley furniture to get a new metal frame. North Branch Manager said that frame that broke is not heavy duty. I'm 190 and fiancée is 150 and has back problems. They wanted us to pay additional for metal frame that I found unacceptable. PS CS manager was very rude and uncooperative.

    I called the sale person the next day Fri Nov 28th, he indicated that a metal frame was available and that we could have it at no additional cost. I was supposed to take the defective rails and return them to Ashley Furn Maplewood. When I tried to pick up the new frame I found out it was for Queen bed and would not work with the King bed. I called the North Branch location and the manger indicated it was mistake. Instead of correcting it, he stated there is no metal frame for the bed, head and footboard we ordered. It would have to custom order (at least two weeks) for an additional cost. He also indicated the frame we order was not high quality, which goes directly against what is quoted on the Furniture Mart website, “Our strategy has always been to provide low-cost, high-quality furniture, mattresses, and accessories with a high level of customer service in order to best serve the needs of our customers," and basically stated he would not honor the metal frame promised a day earlier.

    So we have not had our new bed for 2 weeks. I have 2-3 hours on the phone to get this resolved I have made an additional trips to an Ashley Furniture store. And the only answer I received is Furniture Mart does not stand by products sold. Will not give a refund. Take what they offer because you don't have a choice, they have already received payment. All I wanted is a metal frame I could be confident would not break. My fiancée could have been seriously hurt. (P.S. the customer service manager in Souix Falls stated you have lawyers for that on Fri Nov 28th.) I do have picture of how defective the frame was, but everyone at Furniture Mart and Ashley Furniture have declined to look at. This ordeal has soured my impression of Furniture Mart and Ashley Furniture that I would like to return the mattress, box spring and frame. Used to be happy customers, our living room set is from Ashley Furniture.

    I had a very positive experience at Ashley furniture and felt compelled to write a review to balance out all of the negative experiences other consumers had. I do admit some of the salespeople will drop you like a hot cake if they suspect you aren't buying there and then. My first salesperson guessed that and quickly stopped helping me and disappeared into the large showroom even though I had more questions. I ended up walking around alone, not pressured by anyone and found a couch that fit better than the $4k one I was going to get from Macy's. This sectional and ottoman cost me $1,600 with delivery. What a steal! And it is MUCH nicer looking than the expensive one I almost bought.

    The lady that I found to ask questions ended up getting my sale and she was very nice and went over all of the disclaimers before having me sign. It's important to read anything before you sign, so I'm glad she took the quick minute to highlight each item on my receipt to insure that I understand their procedures and that I am getting the exact size/couch and layout I want.

    2 weeks later my couch was being delivered. I received a text message about 4-5 days before delivery confirming my address and delivery date. Then 3 days before delivery I was sent another text regarding my time frame of delivery, 9:15 am-1:15 pm. I called my local store and made sure that the delivery guys would call me 10-15 minutes before they arrive so I could make it back from work to let them in. They followed my instructions to a T, sometimes this isn't always the case.

    The delivery guys were friendly and setup & connected my sectional. The couch came in pristine condition, brand new with no defects. I got lucky, because I read about 50 negative reviews about damaged products at arrival. I am currently sitting on my couch... living room bed, I like to call it and I couldn't be happier with my steal of purchase. I don't expect this couch to last more than 5 years tops, but for the money I'll be on cloud nine if I get a good 3 years out of it. Don't be deterred by these bad reviews. I had a great overall experience. (I purchased the Jessa place sectional + ottoman) it's beautiful! Thanks Ashley!

    Terrible customer service when it comes to product support, nothing like the day I made my purchase. They made the extended warranty sound like the perfect addition to my new leather living room set. After only 3 years the stitching is coming apart after little use so I called my local Ashley store, they gave me a number to call, the man there told me to send pictures of the defective area and gave me an email claims@gbsent.com. I was told they would get back to me in 48 hours. I've tried to contact them several times but after a month I'm done trying. I closed my Ashley credit card and am trying to get the word out via web and locally. I wish I would have read the reviews on this company before my purchase.

    This is cut and dry. Ashley Furniture in Delaware advertised a Black Friday special of 60% off the entire showroom, and after purchasing several items, my receipt indeed indicated that I received a 60% discount off of the regular prices. But, the manager admitted that the regular price is determined by taking the rock bottom sale price that Ashley will sell an item for, and then divide that by 40% to get the alleged regular price. Come on man! Just put the discount price on there instead of luring people to the store with a promise of a 60% discount across the showroom.

    Well, all I can say is that in the age of the internet, it's relatively simple to find out if you're being duped or mislead, and in this case, it took me exactly 5 minutes to get my answer. If you like any of the Ashley pieces, go to some online sellers like Classy Home, Coleman's, MM, etc. and get the same stuff for the same price you'll get it for in the showroom. Save yourself the aggravation, time, and gas money. In Coleman's case, delivery and set-up is included in the fee, and I've found in most cases, their prices aren't much different than what you'll find in the store.

    Super irritated with these guys. My parents were coming to town and I needed a mattress in a week. The sales associate sold me a mattress first of all saying "it's ready for pick up and you can take it with you." After I decided and was ready to pay for it, they told me they can only deliver in a week and I have to pay delivery fee of $139. I was pissed already but decided to go ahead.

    One week later, day after thanksgiving, I called to confirm the delivery and they confirmed it for that day. I waited all day but it never came. So I called up customer care the next day and the rep was like - it doesn't matter even if it is delayed by a week you have to pay $139. It just doesn't make sense. Why should I pay $140 when I was not given what was promised and I was not ever ready to pay that. On top of it, the day of delivery, they never called me to say that the delivery was cancelled. I was just sitting at home wasting my day after thanksgiving. Oh ya.... and I got "disconnected" multiple times trying to reach customer care.

    We purchased a Tempurpedic bed with adjustable base and spent $5000. I felt the Tempurpedic was pushed on us and we eventually gave in based on the reassurance that it was the best bed on the market. After sleeping on it for 2 weeks, I developed back pain. I am 29 years old, 105 pounds and have never had back issues! I felt like an 80 year old woman! We were informed we had to sleep on the mattress for a minimum of 30 days before exchanging. When we went in for the exchange, we had to pay $300 to restock the bed. That was annoying, but we understood and didn't argue. The bed I wanted in exchange happened to be on sale (originally $2400, on sale for $1999). They said we didn't qualify for the sale price!

    As it is, you don't get the price difference back in cash, it has to be a store credit. Fine, again, we can live with that as annoying as it was. The $5000 was already spent, yet they refused to honor the sale price. They weren't out any money as we knew we weren't getting it back in cash, it had to go as a store credit. Then they tried to charge us for a second delivery fee (we live 2 min down the road). If we would have been first time customers off the street we would have been given the sale price. How they can treat their customers like this? This is disgusting. I guess once they have your money, they control you and screw you over and there is nothing you can do. Buyer beware. Do not go here if you are in the market for a new mattress. We were uninformed and rushed into a very expensive mistake.

    I bought furniture back on November 1st from the Burbank, CA store. My delivery date was the 16th. My items were delivered, and set up, but as I was inspecting the furniture, the delivery team left before I could reject the items for poor quality. I immediately called the store and asked them to send the delivery team back to pick up the items. They said they would contact their dispatch and see if they could reroute delivery, but emphasized that I should have rejected it while they were on-site. The store called back a short time later and said they would not be able to reroute them today and would call me back with a date and time they would be able to come pick up the items. I waited the rest of the day with no word from the store or warehouse dispatch contacting me.

    Yesterday, Monday the 16th, I continued to contact the store throughout the day being assured that a manager would reach out. Finally, in the early evening I spoke with the Manager on-duty Diane. Diane said, in no uncertain terms, they would not be able to return my items or refund my purchase. She said this store does not offer refunds. I told her, "no one said this at the time of our purchase" (my Mother and Sister were witness). If we had known they do not accept returns, we would not have purchased from them. I told her "your Sales Associate Nelly did not inform us of this rule." Diane said she would need to speak with Nelly the next day and would call me back.

    After that conversation, I decided to call my Synchrony Visa I had opened just for my Ashley purchase and have them reverse charges. I was able to successfully close the account prior to the charges going through. I called the store back and spoke with Ryan (Floor Supervisor), because Diane was on lunch and explained that I had canceled the transaction and would not be paying for the purchase and to please have Diane call me back when she was back from lunch. Diane never called. I had to call the store again. I reached Diane and she immediately said this is now a Corporate dispute. I got the Corporate Customer Care number and called them. Unfortunately, they were closed.I reached customer care this morning and they promptly said this is a store issue and I would not be able to get help from them.

    I have continued to call the store today with very little response or returned phone calls. Unfortunately, I have since found out that the charges to the card have gone through. I have asked the credit card company help. They have opened a dispute and is sending a letter to them requesting they accept and process the return. I don't know what else to do. One final note, on the back of the receipts there are several disclaimers. Nowhere does it say there are no returns. In fact, there is a claim that says they do not accept returns on close-out merchandise. Therefore, one would have to assume all other types of merchandise are returnable.

    I suggest thinking twice before purchasing furniture from Ashley. Prepare yourself with poor delivery, broken items, defected items and nice speaking customer people who promise the world and deliver nothing but broken promises. I suggest looking elsewhere when purchasing furniture. Here is a quick list of reason to support my review.

    Delivery: Delivery guys spoke little English which made it extremely difficult to communicate the issues with the furniture. We purchased bunk beds and dresser. Dresser was broke when delivered which they fixed by drilling a screw into it. They put together the bunk bed which had a defected support beam which was clearly defected. They wanted to put screws in the cross beams, not sure how that would have work. I now have nails sticking out of the boards. Product review....0.

    Customer care: I must have contacted the care department about 12 times, on each occasion they had no clue what I was talking about and I had to go over my issues over and over and over. I finally got somewhere once I took time out of my work day to stop at the store. I requested a new support beam. They were supposed to mail this to me but instead my wife received a call from the delivery guys saying they were outside my door and we needed to come home so they could fix the bed. Funny we never schedule this plus they had the wrong parts. I finally got the part and had to go to the store to pick it up. (This is the short version of my experience with customer care.) I would exceed the recommended minimum character count if I go any further. Customer care review...0.

    I will say the sales representative who sold me the furniture was quite nice and would be the only highlight of my review. Sales department review...9. Good luck to anyone who decides to purchase furniture from this company, you will need it.

    We went shopping for a leather sofa and two chairs at Ashley. The first thing we asked the salesman for was high spring quality, support and durability because we had just thrown out a sagging sofa. He diverted the discussion to the types of leather without answering the spring question and sold us on a "top quality" top grain set. It was very soft to sit on in the store, which should have tipped us off, but we assumed that he had led us to a well constructed set because we had asked him to. Big mistake! The furniture was delivered and we found that we couldn't sit in it for more than an hour without it sagging into a painful position. I looked under it, and there were no springs at all, just some weak elastic straps and the cushions would bottom out right onto the frame! Their return policy is only an 80% refund, only for store credit, and we had to pay the return pickup. Now we're stuck with having to pick out a better piece from them but I don't know if they have anything worth taking home.

    As the case with many customers, only after purchasing did I find out that my bed would not be delivered for 2 weeks. I accepted. The bed looked beautiful upon arrival + assembly and we were very happy. A few weeks after, we started feeling aches and pains on our bodies and also noticed that the bed was sinking in very badly. My boyfriend being heavier than me, I found myself rolling towards him like we were sleeping in a hammock. We tried ignoring the discomfort for months until finally I called them to tell them that I wanted to return the bed. They informed me of their no-return policy which I thought was outrageous. From here on a battle started. They sent a tech guy from an independent company a total of 3 times to inspect the bed. He said over and over to us that the bed was defective and advised us to return it. But every time I called Ashley Furniture, they continued to say "the bed is not defective" and "the report from the technician states that the bed is not defective".

    We moved during this ordeal and took the bed apart. When we paid attention to the bed frame is when we realized what the problem was. The slats were a joke. This was a king size bed and the slats were very long and thin. Only 5 out of 10 had legs to support them but even the supported slats would bend between the support points. Only when I threatened them to file a complaint with the BBB, they agreed that the mattress was defective and were willing to give me a refund for it. I said no, I wanted a refund for the whole bed since the whole thing was "defective".

    More accurately, it was just plain cheaply made, terrible quality. They continued to deny that the frame was defective and the case with the BBB was closed. Then, I sued them in court. As soon as they were summoned, they offered to give me a full refund minus my court fees if we settled quick. I wanted my court fees refunded as well but compromised with their offer. In mediation, they refused to pay me on the same day they would pick up the bed. Rather, I had to wait up to 1 month to be refunded. An hour later in mediation, they said up to 2 months for them to pay me back. I had no other choice but to accept and have the piece of junk out of my house. This is a bad business!!! Stay away!!!

I contacted the store and they were no longer in business. I contacted Ashley Furniture direct and they said they could honor my warranty since it was under one year.

The technician immediately noticed that the material was not the same as my chair. I contacted Ashley and they told me I had to submit photos of the chair next to the material that would show the problem and then they could order more material. I kept telling them that this is just going to happen again because it is defective material, but they wouldn't listen.

    A few days later, they called telling me that they are going to replace the chair with a new one from a local Ashley store. Here's the problem now... they will not warranty the new chair!! They said the chair will be under the original warranty from the original date of purchase which is now expired. They don't care about their customers at all!

    I went to Ashley for a living room set. Upon my arrival I found the perfect red set that I've always wanted. I decided to purchase the set. The day of delivery I was contacted by a rep letting me know my delivery was on the way. An hour or so later another rep contacted me to see if my delivery arrived. I explained that my delivery did not arrive. A few moments later a customer service manager contacted me explaining the store and warehouse had a miscommunication and in order for me to receive my merchandise I would have to pay a redelivery fee which I did not understand WHY I would pay a redelivery fee for something that was never on the truck to be delivered?

    Long story short, EVERY person I've come in contact with from the store to the customer service headquarters were EXTREMELY RUDE. I asked to hold for a manager and was told "no you cannot hold we don't do that." I'm thinking what type of business doesn't allow a person to hold for a manager. I finally disputed the charge with my cc company. A month later needless to say I never received my furniture and Ashley is still asking for a redelivery fee in order to get my furniture. I am OVER this business and their lack of customer service. OH I forgot to mention the 30% restocking fee they want me to pay since I am asking for a refund. I have never in all my days seen any foolishness like this. DON'T NOT SHOP HERE.

    We bought new living room furniture from Ashley in Bel Air, MD. Never bought leather furniture before so we went to Ashley and the salesman talked up the set really good. Told us how durable it was and it will last forever. So we bought it and I got a recliner to match it. 1 year later it started to peel. To find out it wasn't even real leather. It is Durablend. It's crap. My recliner is horrible, and the couches don't look much better. It is the worst furniture I have ever bought. And of course they won't do anything about it. So cheap. Do not ever buy from there.

    Purchased an oversized, leather, electric powered recliner from Ashley in Arcadia, WI. Within a short period the left side of the seat cushion slumped, resulting in having to sit at an angle. Then, the ultra paper thin bonded leather began to delaminate. This was sold to me as solid leather. NOT! Within two years the headrest area and arm cushions have pealed away. The thin material appears to be vinyl, not even bonded leather. All of the furniture stores I have visited advise to stay away from Ashley because it's considered low end. In fact, they ALL discontinued Ashley due to excessive problems. Another American product that succumbed to Chinese quality.

    I have made many purchases from Foxboro furniture. I saved for months and months. I picked out what I thought was very nice furniture, within a few months the cushioned distorted very bad. I called foxboro furniture, which by the way was always a pleasant experience. They sent me all new cushions but that wasn't the problem. Same thing happened, I didn't do anything about it again which was a mistake. I paid 1700$ for the furniture and was very happy at first but the materials used in the throw pillows and cushions were substandard. It looked nice but I had to buy all new throw pillows and the cushions are so out of shape and so uncomfortable that it's embarrassing. I don't even have any children in the house anymore.

    I don't know what to do. But I will never buy Ashley furniture again and I thought it was a good brand. I'm really just kinda crushed. Foxboro furniture has closed since I bought my furniture. I would be happy to provide pictures. I just don't understand why any business would do that. My old furniture was still comfortable when I gave it to a friend. She's still happy with it. Maybe something good might come out of this! I don't know???

    My husband made a purchase on August 30th. We ordered a lift top coffee table and a sofa with a chaise. The furniture was delivered 2 weeks after purchase date. The day after the furniture was delivered, the coffee table broke!! It broke after 24 hours of having it! A spring fell off that lifts the top. I called Ashley and we set a date for a repairman to come out. The repairman does his inspection and says "We will have to order a new top for this table because the spring is pressed in by a machine. I will go ahead and put that order in."

    I call Ashley a week later to get an update on this order and they said, "We have no record of this order being placed. We can't even order a new top for this table. The whole table needs to be replaced. We can have a new table delivered to you and we will take the old one." I gave her the Ok for the new table. I call a week after this phone call to get an update on THIS order. She says "We actually won't have this table in stock until NEXT YEAR." I get upset as this is getting ridiculous. So she puts me on hold to talk to her manager, comes back and says, "Actually, we do have this table in stock but it can't be delivered until November 25th."

    My table broke a month and a half ago and it still has not been fixed. Also, the couch we ordered is VERY POOR QUALITY. It started to look used within the first week of having it. The fabric is coming loose and it has the "old and wrinkly" look. Couches shouldn't get worn out so quick. So I requested to return both pieces of furniture and they said no because it has already been 48 hours after purchase. You can only cancel your order within 48 hours otherwise you are stuck with their crappy furniture.

    I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and am currently talking with corporate. If I would have done research on this company before we made purchases, I would have NEVER purchased anything through them. They have more bad reviews than any other furniture company. I am wondering how this place is still in business.

    We have been trying to return a couch since 9/13, it is now 10/11 to a local Ashley's store where the the item was purchased. Due to the fact that the invoice has my name as 'sold to' and my husband's name as 'deliver to' (address is the same), the manager delayed my return request on 9/13 because he thought that we may have been in a fight and I was simply being malicious. I am not sure how to interpret that decision other than sexist, which is against the law. The person who the item was sold to has every right to return the item without enduring personal questions about their private life.

    Once I explained who I was sleeping with and that we weren't in a fight on 9/27, I called on 10/3 to schedule a pick-up time. We set it up for 10/11 and no one shows. Distribution has no record of a pick-up but I have my cell phone records, which clearly shows the call being made and length of time. They have now once again promised to pick up the couch on 10/18; this will be a month after my initial request for a return/refund.

    In the meantime, they have been earning interest on my money, which is financially corrupt. I have no idea when I'll ever get my money back. The manager said 10-14 days once the return request is entered into the computer (should have been entered 9/13) and then another associate said once the item is returned and inspected so who knows.

    Do not ever buy from this company or any of their products. We purchased a media chest from our local Ashley store, but did not want the one in the showroom. The drawers were not tight and would move six inches side to side when opened. I asked if I could pick the chest up from the store and they said yes, but I would still have to pay $50 for having it shipped to the store instead of my home. I asked if the chest would be delivered in a box so it would be protected when I took it home in my truck and they said yes it would. I called the store after 3 weeks and they said the chest had just came in that day.

    I drove to the store the next day and was told to pull around the rear of the store to load the chest. When I got there, there was a chest sitting there with no box. It was covered in dust and the drawers were loose like the floor model. I asked if they still had that and they said no. After looking into the loading area, there was not a piece of cardboard anywhere. It didn't take much to figure out that they were trying to give me the floor model. This where it went down hill quick. I refused to take the chest and requested a refund. The manager said he would have to call the general office to get it approved and processed, but they were closed for the day.

    After 6 more weeks getting the runaround, I told the manager that if a credit was not posted to my credit card in 5 days, the next call he and the general office would get would be from a lawyer. The refund was posted 4 days later. I have never had to wait for a refund to be approved anywhere. I found a much better solid wood media chest elsewhere for $150 less than Ashley's best price.

"Okay, deliver them together", I said. Time passes. Yesterday I received an automated phone call that my sofa and love seat would be delivered this Saturday or 41 days later (5 weeks, 6 days). Today at lunch I receive a human phone call telling me that the love seat is still on back order, and they can "deliver it November 22", (42 days from this Saturday). "Would that be okay?" My response, "No, I'll be at your store in 10 minutes". Well they refunded my money in full (what choice did they have?). When I pressed them on the fact that they got to use my $1196.00 free for 6 weeks, without any penalty they kind of shrugged, and said they're not authorized to do anything. That's too bad, because along with never spending a penny there ever again, I am authorized to warn everyone I know that if you buy something from Ashley, and they mention "3-6 week delay" you're being lied to.

He said the couch should have been replaced the first time while it was under warranty and that he was going back to the store to discuss this with them.

After calling they finally decided to give me a store credit of $718. I was told I can find something different and I have to get them back their damaged sofa.

    I expressed my anger for the situation to their call center and was told there is nothing they can do to change it. I can either use the credit to purchase something else with $700, will probably be a portion of one piece or keep the damaged pieces. The manager of the call center was very rude and told me they don't have to do anything because the manufacturer warranty is expired. She wouldn't listen to my complain and cut me off several times during the phone conversation. I advised her that obviously there is a issue with the quality of the furniture because they are giving credits.

They told me yesterday it was in Tyler, Texas if I wanted to pick it up from there. Tyler is at least an hour from where we live in Avinger, Texas but it is ok for us to spend our gas and time if we want it before they deliver another truck next Thursday but there is no guarantee it will be on next week's truck. Poor excuse for business. Called BBB and reported to them also.

    Purchased a sofa in May. Too big for room when delivered. Sofa left unpacked. Went picked another one. Received in may. Had to call - cushions flat a month. Received new foam for sofa and chair. It is now September, flat again. Called. Ask if I could get another sofa, hoping it would be of better quality. The answer was no, sending someone to repair in my house. The sofa is nice color but of bad quality. I want to get a different sofa.

    I ordered an entire bedroom set from Ashley/City Furniture, and spent around $2,000 on it, plus $130 for shipping. The sales rep told me if I ordered the storage trundle, I don't need to buy a box spring for the mattress. She didn't have the storage trundle, only the trundle bed, but told me it was identical, just with drawers instead of an extra bed, and it ran the length and width of the bed. The day they delivered the set, I noticed several damages on every single piece. I sent everything back. They redelivered the following week, and again, everything was damaged. The third time, I received a dresser, the bed was damaged, but I had to keep it because we needed a bed, and the nightstand, and chest were damaged, and got sent back.

    I was told someone would come out to repair the bed the next day. Nobody showed up. I called, and they told me that no appointment was set, and I would have to wait at least a week. They also damaged my hardwood floors in four different areas, by moving the bed around. I was told they would repair that as well (I'm doubtful). The trundle I had ordered was not what had been described to me... It looked nothing like the one I had seen, and was maybe a quarter of the size it was supposed to be. I had also been lied to about not needing the box spring. The three narrow slat would never be able to hold a mattress, so I sent the trundle back, along with the other pieces, and still had no bed to sleep in.

    The fourth time, they sent a boxspring, but the furniture was damaged, so I sent it back. The fifth time, I received a night stand, but the chest was damaged, so I sent that back. Today was the sixth delivery, for the chest. It was damaged, I sent it back. The customer service supervisors refuse to discount anything, or even remove the delivery charge for my order. I paid full price for this garbage. Their only solution was for me to send everything back, and shop somewhere else for furniture. They have been so horrible to me, they will not do anything to fix the problem, they just continue to send me damaged pieces. BIG damages too... I don't understand how nobody notices these things before bringing it to my house! I will never ever use them again!!!

    Our couch was delivered damaged. We did not notice until the service center was closed. We called the next day and they said no problem they would order a new couch. After two weeks I called to see when it would be delivered, they said they never heard from us. We again told them what happened and they set up a service man to come and look at the couch. He took a heat gun to the crease and it did lift it but the padding underneath was still damaged and there was a mark left. He is trying to say a dog did it. You can plainly see it is not a dog scratch! They want us to use our warranty to get it fixed. I am sure another piece of furniture was placed on top of it! It has been almost a month and all I get is "Someone will give you a call tomorrow"!

    I bought a blended leather sofa from Ashley on Labor Day 2011. Three years later, the sofa is a disgrace. It is peeling at the seams -- and has been doing so for more than a year. It is also stained from my dark wash blue jeans and I have tried all the allowable methods to clean it, to no avail. I didn't use any harsh chemicals or anything but soap and water. I spent $500 on this sofa. I live alone and I am not a couch potato so there has been no unusual wear and tear it. I have read the other Ashley complaints and I am flabbergasted that such a well-known company would sell such shoddy merchandise. NO COUCH SHOULD FALL APART AFTER TWO YEARS! Needless to say, I tell everyone I know about my crappy couch.

    Purchased a kitchen table and office furniture (2 desks, one with a hutch). Ashley Furniture has no problem taking your money for a warranty. When you call to get scratches fixed, etc. they don't cover items that aren't just one scratch. Scratches over time aren't covered (and have to be reported within 5 days). But they don't tell you this before the sale and after they have taken your money. However, the salesperson (Indian girl) will lie to your face about what the warranty covers - to get the sale.

    Corporate, the store (in Frisco, TX), and the warranty company ping pong you back and forth between each. But no one really wants to help. They got what they wanted, your money. Glad they will never see a dime from me again! Too bad they focus on the one-time screw job versus a relationship with lots of repeat business. Great business model, Ashley Furniture. Can't wait until you go out of business. The Asst. Manager, Ashley **, doesn't care and really can't wait to get off the phone without solving the problem. Screw job, through and through!!!! Glad a neighborhood business could screw me (even better)!!! Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware!!

    The quality does not present itself until you get it home. JUNK. We take pride and care in our belongings, no misuse. The faux leather is flaking off in MANY locations. The EXTENDED warranty we paid for is worthless. The extended warranty people say it sounds like a manufacturer defect. Ashley says, "Sorry you only have a year warranty." The couches are two years old. Will NEVER buy another product from Ashley.

    Terrible furniture! Ours was defective and we reported it to the store within 3 weeks. Weeks of technicians and new cushions didn't help and we eventually had to return it - with a 25% restocking fee which turns out to be out of the industry norm. Store Manager Kristy ** is unhelpful, dismissive and disinterested. (Jim **, the sales manager, tried hard to helpful). We've submitted a BBB complaint.

    We went to the local store on a very busy Saturday. Picked out what would be our first new furniture purchase in a long time. The sales person was helpful but overwhelmed. All the paperwork complete we were given a delivery date and time. The night before our merchandise was to be delivered we got an automated call at 6:55 pm. Telling us that we would not get delivery until the following day. I had scheduled to take the day off in advance so I could be there for the delivery. Now I had I take two days off of work. At a considerable cost.

    Did I mention what I do for a living?? Deliver furniture and appliances. And I have been since 1996. I know all the tips and tricks that ALL delivery companies try to pull. When I finally got someone on the phone that had two brain cells, I explained to him that I had to take two days off work and how much it is going to cost me to do so. I got the song and dance. My response as should be any response when a late delivery occurs. "Do you want your payments on time? Then get my furniture to me when you said you were."

    That part of the bargain was never upheld. So here I set 2 days off of work at a cost of over 750 dollars. And all I get is "Sorry"?? I know you are sorry, now apologize. Long story short. Do your research. And the best advice I can give anyone reading this is: If you know anyone like me that is in the business call them to see how deliveries are meant to be made. That way you have a leg up on what to expect. And don't be a victim.

    Problems with table top: Anything I put on it, it marks the table. Would not repair or replace. Couch sags, had to reinforce with boards. Mattress sags on one side. My son's bed rail broke and they won't even replace a railing on it. The furniture is not made well at all. I bought the extended warranty. They will not honor it at all. They are rude and will not honor contractual agreements.

    I purchased a kitchen table and chairs with 3 bar stools and a reclining couch made by Ashley Furniture. Each had a one year warranty. The couch was barely used as it was in a spare room. Two months after the warranty expired the leather began to peel and roll off. The chairs tore at the seams and the leather on them began to peel off too. Ashley will NOT provide any opportunity to repair these. Stay away from this company--they do not stand behind their products and warranty them for the minimum amount before they fall apart. It was not cheaply priced, but horribly made!

    We have had problems with not one, but two table tops from them. We have had terrible customer service, and had to wait over 6 months and pay to replace a top that we didn't even damage. Got the second one and the exact same thing happened. I've been trying to get it fixed or replaced, so I called the customer service line again, and have never been spoken to with such disrespect as I did with these ladies. I'm very disappointed in my experience with Ashley.

    I was having a mattress delivered. I was alone and in a two story. A truck with 2 men and another vehicle with 2 or 3 men came to my door. Two of us went upstairs to show them where to deliver mattress. After they left I saw my purse had been moved and my wallet was hanging out of my purse. Luckily I did not have my cards in there and no cash. Still I felt violated. I made a call to Ashley furniture, was told someone would call me back. No one did. I called again, was told the same thing. I sent an email to the company with no reply. I actually called the third time. I never got an apology or a call back. I did make a police report and even the police department could not believe that someone never called me back. SO BE AWARE..... watch the delivery guys. Probably better just to shop somewhere else.

    Today I had a refrigerator delivered with from Lowe's and 5 minutes after the delivery, I was called and completed a survey. They said if I gave anything under a 5 on any question, they would call me back within the hour. I gave only 5's but wow... I was impressed. Especially when Ashley Furniture didn't even call me back when someone had tried to steal from me. I tell everyone I come across. I go to a very big church and people there say they will never shop there. I would fear for them if they did.

    When you spend $800 on a love seat you expect it to be good service. This was anything but. The couch was in months after said arrival. Additionally the pick up facility was dirty, the people were very rude, and the wait time was about 2 hours. It was completely ridiculous and I will never shop with them again.

    I purchased a furniture set from Ashley Homestore over 10 years ago and it lasted very well through 1 dog and 3 children. So when It came time to upgrade our furniture I chose to go back to Ashley thinking I would get the same quality product. I was sadly mistaken. I went there in search for microfiber sofa and recliner similar to what I had in the past, because it withstood dog hair from poking through the fabric. I purchased the Eli sofa recliner and 2 matching recliners. Within 3 weeks the fabric began to show signs of wear on the corners of the recliner. During week 6, while my dog was chewing on a chew toy, I noticed a small tear in the fabric of the sofa. The rough end of the chew toy had torn the fabric in three different places. So I pulled out the protection plan I paid extra for to find it would not cover the damages made by the dog's toy. I then purchased a sofa cover to protect the sofa from more damages. However as days went on, the tears continued to split even under the protection of the cover.

    I have had the couch less than 6 months, the batting underneath the paper thin microfiber material began to loosen exposing the foam cushion and the sofa is more or less ruined. I had to purchase a new couch last week, because the other became a chore to maintain. Needless to say I didn't go to Ashley furniture homestore!
