We bought a bedroom set 3 years ago and was told it had a 10 year warranty. The guy just left my house because the mattress is sagging in the middle. He says it has to be over a inch and a half before anything can be done about it. There is also a small stain he says that will void all warranty. Well I have had the mattress cover that they gave us when I bought the mattress and it went thru that so how does that void it. When you sit on the bed you feel the wood from the box spring. So their warranty is bogus. Do not buy thinking you will have any warranty. They use that as a selling point. Nothing else.

I ordered a living room set on Dec 13th set to be delivered on the 17th. On Dec 17th, the wrong set was delivered to my house. I was told after driving to the store to speak to a manager that my order was to be delivered on Dec 30th and he was once again sorry. On the 18th surprisingly Ashley showed up with another set that once again was not mine. I drove back to the store and was guaranteed by management that the date was still set for the 30th.
Today is Dec 29th I called to confirm the order and was told it was accidentally cancelled but to wait for 15 min at the store and that this would be resolved. Well, a funny thing happened. I happened to be sitting on the floor model of the set I ordered and a salesman walks by and tells me that the floor model is now 50% off. If I'm interested, I can take it home today!!! I've been in sales most of my life and have never dealt with service like this. The so called manager DeAndre?? Is very disrespectful and I will now file with the BBB. Stay away from this company.

I wish I could give them negative stars. DO NOT SHOP HERE! It is not worth the hassle or the couple hundred dollars you might save. You get what you pay for. Ordered a 4 piece sectional in Pewter. Wrong color delivered. Cancelled the order and being charged a 10% restock fee for items not received. Ordered 3 piece sectional w/ ottoman 12/13/15 in Pewter. Delivery of 3 pieces scheduled 12/18 and other 1 piece 12/22. Items were rescheduled for 2 items 12/18 and 2 on 12/22. 2 items were delivered on 12/18 in the wrong color. I refused the items and an exchange was processed. I was told due to the change in color 2 items would be delivered 12/23 and 1 on 1/18. I don't know where the 3rd item went. Also, the delivery drivers drug mud through my brand new home even after repeated attempts to ask them to stop walking through my yard because it had just rained.
On 12/22 I got a call and a text confirming delivery of two of my pieces on 12/23. Then I got a call an hour later saying those would be delayed AGAIN to 12/26. I decided I was sick of getting the runaround so I went into the store on 12/23 to cancel my order. The sales rep (Jim **) and supposed sales manager (Barbara **) treated me very unprofessionally. Jim claims he entered the wrong order because the picture looked gray. Then when I cancelled my order, I was very snottily informed that I would have to pay a 10% restocking/cancellation fee for items I never received nor had ever left the Ashley Warehouse. I was advised this is because of the two items that were delivered on 12/18 that were the wrong items due to the error on the part of the sales rep.
Both the sales rep and sales manager blamed me for the error which was incorrect. On 12/27 I e-mailed the store manager, Tobin **. I gave him a timeline of exactly what events took place. I stated in the e-mail that I would contact corporate if something wasn't done about this fee. The response I received involved no apology, no acknowledgement of the error made on the sales rep, absolutely no resolution at all. I was basically told "here go ahead and call corporate". I should have read the reviews on this location prior to shopping there, so if there was any error on my part that was it.
Tobin gave me the "corporate" number to call, but it's just a customer service line. The people were nice but there was nothing they could do to help me and no one would provide me with a direct e-mail or contact for Tobin's manager. The store manager is not the end all, be all in any retail establishment. Regardless of whether the fee could be refunded or not, I have the right to make someone at a higher level than him aware of the unprofessional level of service at this store. And how does a business get away with charging me $200 for items I never got?

August 2015 my husband and I picked out a beautiful bedroom suite from Ashley Furniture and was told that delivery would be 4-6 weeks (not a problem). 2 weeks later we received a call that our furniture was in, we set up a date and time - everything so far was running smooth. The day of delivery comes and furniture was set up, everything looked great! The delivery man said that they sent the wrong pieces for our storage drawers on the footboard and that they would order new and someone would be out asap to put them together (that's fine not a problem). Weeks go by and I haven't heard anything. My husband called and spoke with someone from the store and they said that one of the draws was there at the store and one was on its way and we would get a call for a delivery day and time.
A couple more weeks go by and I hear nothing from anyone. I make a trip out to the store because at this point I'm getting aggravated, speak with a "manager" and they said they would take care of it and apologized for someone not getting back to me and he couldn't understand why nobody did. He said he would figure out what was going on and give me a call. Several weeks go by and again nothing. I make another call to the store and again apologies for nobody getting into contact with me, and he would figure out what was going on. He tells me that I will be getting a call from the warehouse. 5 minutes later I get a call stating that my drawers are there and have been there and he couldn't figure out why nobody contacted me to set up a delivery time. He sets up a delivery day and time and that Friday we had someone at our house with the drawers .
Just when I thinks it's over and I can enjoy my new bedroom furniture the drawers do not fit and now there is "something wrong with the footboard" is the reason the drawers don't fit. The delivery guys tells us that they will get a new footboard ordered and send someone out to change them out. I bet you can guess almost three weeks go by and I hear nothing. I am furious at this point!!! It is now December 28th 2015 and I make another trip out to the store and have a few choice words for the manager and tell him that if someone does not get this figured out that I want someone to come to my house and remove the furniture from my home so I can go somewhere else!! He assures me that he will get the problem taken care of and call me by the end of the day.
Two hours before the store is to close I still have not heard anything. I make a call to the store and I do feel sorry for the gentleman on the other end of the line that had to get the wrath of this angry customer... The manager that I spoke with in the store earlier in the day was nowhere to be found and didn't relay the message to the evening manager. I was told I would receive a call with a delivery day and time tomorrow. I have never been so disgusted with bad customer service in a company before in my life. Let's just say I will not be returning or referring anyone I know to Ashley Furniture!!

We purchased a full living room set for a very large living room, sectional, tables, lamps, recliners, etc in July and it took until September to deliver after many calls to the DC. We then ordered a full bedroom suite and have had even more problems (still haven't received the furniture). While the in-store service was exceptional and they have no control over delivery, the customer service, guest relations, and DC are the most horrendous I have ever heard of or encountered.
They tell you a date that your furniture will be delivered and then delay after delay after delay and lie after lie after lie. We got numerous stories from this delivery department... from "it is still being manufactured", "it is still on back order", "it is at the wrong DC", "the store made an error and ordered from the wrong DC", "it is at the DC but that delivery day is booked", "I can't get in touch with the DC because they are closed on Mondays", "I can't get you scheduled on the truck for tomorrow." Then they just start putting you on hold and NEVER come back to the phone. They refuse to give you a supervisor and they hang up.

We purchased our furniture (three bedroom sets and a living room sectional) on Black Friday 2015. We were told everything was in stock and would be delivered within two weeks. After a week we called to check in and was told they had everything but one sectional piece that actually had to be made. I called again the weekend. They said it would be delivered but was told they were still waiting only for the missing sectional piece.
So I asked for them to deliver everything but the missing sectional piece. The day before Christmas I called and verified everything. Then the day after Christmas I called to verify and was told that not only did they have the missing sectional piece but everything was scanned in at the warehouse and will be delivered on 12/28! The deliver came today on 12/28, without two sectional pieces and only 1 dresser for our daughter (again for three bedrooms). We are missing more than 60% of our furniture. The customer service supervisor stated the rest would be delivered within two weeks. I asked her why tell me something on five occasions that isn't true. She had no comment. It's frustrating when you are told five times that everything was ready for delivery and then to find out it's not the case. I'd rather not be lied to and told the truth upfront.

Ashley Furniture's delivery price is $140. I informed them that a competitor charged $40 for delivery, set up, and removal of old furniture. My salesman in Columbia, MO told me he would match that. Later, on my bill I saw a charge for $119 for delivery. When I questioned this he said he "took it off the total price of the furniture." On delivery day, my two nice men informed me they did not remove old furniture. I was left with furniture in my yard two days before Christmas. When I called Taylor ** at the Ashley store, I was told he didn't recall the conversation. The store said he was "new" and there was nothing they could do.

We bought an entire living room and kitchen sets, couch, chair, table, chairs, bench, coffee tables etc. etc. The "leather" on the couch is peeling off. Excuse after excuse and even though I am under warranty they will not cover. First it was that it was "natural variation" --- Really a natural variation shows up a few months into use? Then it was that it was staining because we tried to clean it. Really, it is not logical that someone would try to clean areas that are peeling and demyelinating! Then it was that we didnt let them know soon enough - yes we did but we had to keep fighting them with their ridiculous excuses and finally had to prove with a video that it is NOT staining - which incidentally shouldn't have mattered because stains were supposed to be covered!
Now the leather has been discontinued! Well if they would have ordered it months ago instead of giving us the run around, we probably would have been able to get it. Oh and yes discontinued fabric is NOT covered in the warranty - well then shouldn't I get a refund since my "5 year warranty" was useless for this last year! Very Rude staff in warranty dept - on hold for almost an hour every time I called, hung up on, didn't return my call. STAY AWAY FROM ASHLEY - definitely NOT worth the hassle. Oh and this cost about $3500.00 so not a small purchase.

We purchased a few items and the TV stand was back ordered. On the day they were supposed to deliver there was no call from the delivery guys, so we had to call the Customer Service to find out what happened. We were told that they did not have the item in the warehouse and in fact it will be delivered 5 days later. On the scheduled date they brought a damaged stand. The drivers convinced us to accept the stand and someone will come and fix it quickly. They took pictures of the damage and sent them to Customer Service. We were called 2 days later for an appointment, but we were told that they are not flexible and had to accept the only spot available to them, otherwise another person will call and come. A few days later nobody called us so we had to call CS again. We were already frustrated and asked not only for fixing the damage but also for a compensation. We were promised a $75 gift certificate.
A few days later a person called us for an appointment, again with no flexibility. We wanted this ordeal to finish so we said "yes" to their terms. We set up a day but they were supposed to tell us the time a day before the appointment. Instead we got a call from CS and they informed us they can send someone on a different day. We wasted another day waiting for the person to come. He came, took another set of pictures, told us it cannot be fixed, and tried to persuade us to accept it as is. We refused and talked to CS again, who again tried to allure us with a $25 gift certificate and to accept it AS IS. We refused, reminding them we were promised a totally different incentive plus fixing the stand. They refused and they offered to replace the furniture instead and only a $25 gift certificate.
They pretend that all the furniture is inspected in the warehouse before they send the furniture out. That's a total lie. The damage was very visible and it was caused at the assembly time, not during the transportation. What they do is send out refused damaged furniture to clients, hoping someone will accept it for a $25 discount. Once you accept it it's their dirty play against you. DO NOT accept damaged furniture, DO NOT sign for delivery, DO NOT believe a word from what the drivers/delivery tell you! And the most important thing: DO NOT BUY FROM ASHLEY. Their CS is awful and if you ever need them to fix something under warranty, you will certainly regret it.

I purchased my living room set 4 years ago and it still looks new, despite four grandkids (one 9 year old and three 5 year olds) who jump on it, spill snacks, etc., and 2 dogs (who I'm sure are on it all day while I'm at work, though they don't dare when I'm home, LOL). Yet I am still able to entertain company... football buddies and cocktail parties... because this set is so versatile. I absolutely love it! It was designed well -- from hidden zippers for "re-fluffing" the pillow backs (once a year) to wiping spills and dog hair off often. It fit well in the long narrow living room I had it in the first year and now in this house with a more square living room, on the mountain. Everyone compliments its style and comfort. Absolutely no disappointments here. Like I said, it's been 4 years. I cannot recall the name of the set now, perhaps "Signature"(?) something, but I will definitely be a repeat customer for a bedroom set next.

On October 15th, 2015, my husband and I went to our local Ashley Furniture and purchased $4200 in furniture. We purchased a leather sectional and sleeper sofa. We were told all pieces would be delivered by Thanksgiving. The contract I signed said 4-6 weeks, and that is all that REALLY matters at the end of the day. So as the 6 week mark came and went, which was Thanksgiving time, the promises began. The first week of December for sure. Nope. Second week. Nope.
By December the 8th, I became nervous. My first furniture payment was due on December 13th. I was not ABOUT to pay for furniture I had not yet received. I had financed the furniture through Synchrony bank via the Ashley store. I first called my local store. Alas, I could not reach a single person. I left a message letting them know I would not be making any payments until I had furniture and would like a callback. The next day I had not received a callback. No furniture status update, no payment instructions. I then called Synchrony bank. I tell them my dilemma. They seemed surprised I had not received my furniture yet. They offered me 3 options: they told me to either call the furniture store (already did that), file a payment dispute, or simply pay the bill (um, no).
Synchrony bank is able to somehow look up my order and tells me that my items are on back order! No one has told ME that!! I told Synchrony bank I would try again to call the furniture store. On December 10th, I called Ashley furniture. I left another message. Nothing. December 13th rolls around. A payment posts. I forgot I set up auto payments in my contract. Ugh. I called Synchrony bank to dispute the payment, as I have no furniture. I call my personal bank and explain the situation to them, as Ashley furniture billed with my debit card. They place a stop payment on the charge. I called Ashley again on December 13th to tell them I have placed a stop payment on the charges.
On December 20th, I get a call. My local store is closed on Sundays. On early Sunday mornings, someone makes bulk calls, maybe auto calls, telling people the status of their orders. I get a message saying my order is scheduled to "leave the warehouse" in another 2-3 weeks. They will let me know when my items have arrived, and I can call if I have any questions. Um, I HAVE called. No one calls me back.
On December 21st, I sent the Corporate Ashley Furniture office a "time is of the essence" letter. I want OUT of my contract. I am sure I can get out of it. I am WELL outside the 4-6 week time frame, and not ONCE has anyone offered me the option to cancel my order, which is what they are LEGALLY supposed to do. My biggest problem with this whole thing is the lack of communicating with me. If my furniture isn't ready, then be honest about it. It worries me when a company is THIS hard to get on the phone. I will say that I DID get an email back quite promptly from the corporate Ashley office asking for the local information yesterday. It is too soon to give feedback on that part of the story, but I must say that so far, if I had to give my opinion, it would be to RUN.

I purchased sectional in March 2014 to be delivered in June 2014. In Aug 2014 the material on the chaise and one of the chairs starting bunching up. Tech came out and said it was a manufacturer defect and they would stretch and it should be ok. After a couple more month it was really bad again. Feb 2015 called again. Now the tech ordered new foam and said that should take care of it. It did not arrive until May 2015, new appointment was scheduled for June 2015. When the tech arrived I had noticed the material was torn where it was stretched too tight. He said he would have to order new pad and top cover, he did not even put the pad on, that I had just received. Again, the pad and top cover did not arrive until the middle of July.
When I scheduled the tech to come install the new pad and cover on July 31, 2015, I also scheduled him to look at the armless recliner that the material was bunching the same as the chaise. He also looked at the armless chair and said it also needed replace the pad and top cover that it was doing the same as the others. He would order the armless recliner material and since I had not scheduled him to look at the armless chair, that I should call CS and let them know the same material needed to be ordered for this one. I did and they said ok.
As the material have not yet arrived, I just called the CS and they informed me nothing was ever ordered and our warranty was out in Aug, therefore if any materials needed to be replaced, it would be at my expense! As you can all see, the problem started within 2 months of us receiving the furniture. I am not sure where to turn to now or if I am to just keep my furniture as it is. It is paid for so unfortunately I have no recourse. Also we paid close to 500.00 for the extra coverage, and the lady I just spoke with said it is for accidental stuff! So that is of no use to me, definitely not what I was told I was buying. I will no longer buy from Ashley Furniture and hope this review will discourage you from purchasing anything from them also. Oh and the price of the furniture WITH the extra warranty was close to $3500.00. Not cheap furniture, but yes, cheaply made!
ALSO, when I have called the CS ph#, I have been on hold min of 45 min before anyone answers. AND they also had in the computer that after the very first time a tech came out to look at the furniture, the notation in the computer stated: NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! I'm really sorry to tell them, but only 2 month of use does not qualify for normal wear and tear!

RUN DON'T WALK away from Ashley furniture. Their products are junk, junk, junk. My husband and I are in our late 50's. We have no children, yet we are on our 2nd leather couch in the last 2 years. Neither of them has held up. The cushions are sagging. We have had their "service" dept out here several times to restuff our couch. Now we are being told to go down to the local craft store and buy our own stuffing to fill our cushions up with. Thus is after their restuffing the couch numerous times. The service tech stated that we must put our feet up on the couch to make it sink! This couch was not the cheapest item in the store. We bought one of their higher grade leather products. What a joke,.our last leather couch lasted us 13 years and it didn't cost nearly as much. Now we are being told it's just normal wear. They couldn't fix the first couch, so we had to choose another one because they wouldn't give us our money back.

On September 20, 2015 I took delivery of a living room set. I was sold defective/poor quality furniture. The product I received was not the same as the product on display in their showroom. This is known as bait and switch. I called Ashley Furniture numerous times over the last 2 1/2 months and have been getting the runaround. I was told by an Ashley employee that there is an ongoing issue with the furniture I purchased. They told me they were going to take care of the problem. I notified them of the problem right after delivery. They said they were ordering new fill for the back pillows. No one ever called back and nothing was ordered.
Again I called and was told the same thing, they will order new fill and have a technician come to my house to fix the problem. There is no back support on the couch or love seat and you can not sit on them. The rear corners of the seats are caving in due to the poor quality and no support. No one ever called back and nothing was ordered. I called on November 26, 2015 I was told they are looking into taking the furniture back as the tags are still on them. I have not been able to sit in my living room to watch TV in 3 months. Of course I never heard back from them. On December 3, 2015 I filed a complaint with the BBB.
I received my first and only phone call from Ashley Furniture after the complaint was filed. Today December 22, 2015 Ashley Furniture sent an independent inspector to examine the furniture. I was told that he has seen this problem with everyone who bought this furniture and that Ashley is aware of the problem but refuses to do anything about it. They keep taking the customer's money. The inspector said the furniture is made of poor quality materials and would cost more to fix than it's worth.

My wife and I decided to get new bedroom furniture, so we eventually settled on a set from Ashley. BIG mistake! From the time of delivery we had problems. First off, when we purchased the furniture, we were told that the people delivering would do a "white glove" inspection (or some sort of play on words) when they set it up. They told me everything looked good, but upon my own inspection, I found multiple scratches/bubbles/knicks. We called to report the damages and it was like our concerns fell on deaf ears. We would tell them what was damaged... they would say the parts are ordered... and we called because the parts hadn't showed, they would tell us that there is no record of any calls being made to report damages. They have brought us 3 dressers now, and each was in worse shape than the previous.
The last incident was a couple months ago when we noticed one of the nightstands coming apart at the corner (It holds a small lamp and two remotes). Seeing that this was probably the 10-12th call I've had make on our furniture in less than six months, I was a bit frustrated with this company. They said they would send out a repairman to our house and make it right. The repairman looked it over and said they would get a replacement ordered in for next week. Well, about a week and a half go by and we still have no nightstand. I had to call THEM yet again, and be told that they would not be replacing this item because it was a customer damage. This nightstand sits over in a corner away from everything. The last person to move it was THEIR employee?! I told my wife that I am done with trying to get it right. We will NEVER buy another Ashley product!

I purchased a Ridgley Chest for my master bedroom and it was delivered 5 days later within the time Ashley scheduled. However, the draw fronts were crooked, misaligned, chunk of carpet stuck in a joint, and was otherwise unacceptable for a $700 chest. Per Ashley's guarantee, I refused the chest and opted for another delivery. The 2nd chest arrived in worse shape than the 1st. It arrived unwrapped (the first one was at least protected with wrapping), and 4 out of the 5 draws were crooked, had warped draw fronts, etc. I refused this one and opted for one more attempt. The 3rd chest arrived unboxed, no packaging, unwrapped, had serious scratches and dings throughout, gaps at the draw fronts, a nail sticking out of the side of the chest, stain missing, filthy and crooked hardware. Against my better judgement I opted for one more attempt. The 4th chest arrived unboxed and unwrapped as well.
When I finally called the store after the 4th rejection, they offered nothing as far as help in getting me a new undamaged chest.
They were more than helpful giving me a refund (2 billing cycles to get your money back if you use your Ashley card) but no aid in simply fulfilling the order, which left me with no choice but to get a refund. So, buyer beware of the location. I've been shopping with Ashley for many years in different locations and never experienced anything like this. The 4 days off work with nothing to show for it is my biggest problem. They stalk you in the store for business but when I gave it to them they were unable to fulfill the order due to having no control over the crap the warehouse is sending to their customer.

I ordered a 9 piece bedroom suite, paid in cash so it could be delivered before Christmas. Got rid of all the furniture, had the room painted, took off work the day it was supposed to be delivered and the only thing that arrived was the headboard. I was furious! Ashley furniture workers were NO HELP at all. Before I paid for it I stressed to them that I needed it before Christmas. They assured me, no problem but then tell me it was placed on back order. Mind you, I paid for it in the beginning of November. Once I said I wanted my money back, they said since I paid in cash, it would be 2 weeks before I could receive a check from them. Not only that but because the person who sold me the set forgot to add a piece I had to buy an additional $100 plus dollars. Then since they don't deliver on certain days I will have to wait even longer for my furniture to arrive. Lesson learned.

On December 3rd went into Ashley's furniture, picked out a bedroom that had a sign next to it stating "available for immediate delivery". During this time sales personnel and the manager treated us like royalty. Well, we finally received our bedroom furniture Dec. 17th but no mattress. And to top things off had my husband not been in the bedroom we would not have been told the box spring was missing a chunk of wood and there was a spot where it was split. So from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. my husband went thru hurdles to get someone to respond to question of where is mattress. At the Brownsville store the manager and Credit Manager said there was nothing they could do. It was on back order.
My husband got a hold of Mcallen store and they told him it was not on back order. It just was not loaded and left behind. When he finally got a hold of customer care after calling and no answer for 5 hours. The person there said they apologized but the earliest delivery would be December 30th!!! Mind you the sign next to bedroom set said "available for immediate delivery" when we purchased Dec 3rd but now we have to wait until the 30th for someone's careless mistake. Oh and let's not forget the box frame of bed is damaged.

Ordered 4 pieces of furniture: sofa, accent chair, coffee table, and end table. Three out of four pieces arrived damage/not made well. Thank goodness I cleaned the furniture before the delivery guys left or I would have not seen the damage on the coffee table. One of the rear cushions on the sofa was not sewn properly, and the accent chair had staples sticking out, stuffing coming out when you removed the seat to see what was going on and exposed wood from the frame of the chair. I didn't notice the issues with the chair till two days later. The delivery guy took pics of the table and sofa, and called customer service before leaving. I got a discount on the table and kept it, the sofa was to be replaced 16 days later. Ok!
Two days later, I called customer service about the accent chair. They requested pictures and said that they would get right back to me. Sent pics, no call. Called the next day, they requested more pics and said they would get back to me... Again NO CALL! A week later I called the sales person who sold me the furniture, he said he would take care of it and that I should send pics. I told him that I had already sent two sets of pics to customer service and that no one ever got back to me. He said ok, he will look at them and that they would want me to use my protection plan to get my one replacement for the accent chair. I said, "NO THAT'S NOT HAPPENING! I've had the chair for only two days, it arrived that way and it was not damage on my part. Why should I use my protection plan?!" He said that he will get back to me.
The next day he called and said it was resolved, and that I should expect a call from customer service. TWO DAYS LATER, NO CALL! I called customer service, the rep said there were no pictures in their email and that I would have to send them again, so I forwarded the original emails, and she said she would get back to me. Again NO ** call. So an hour later I called to speak with a manager, who looked at the emails but was still asking me what the ** issue was when he had pics right in front of him. So he cancelled the delivery of my replacement sofa and rescheduled it for two days later than the original date so that they could send the sofa and accent chair at the same time.
So that was 14 days that customer service never called me back. Delivery day gets here. They come in my apartment, asked to see what the issue was before they just replace my furniture... I thought that was resolved with customer service that's why you are here to deliver my replacements, NOT QUESTION ME! They come in my home with mud all over their boots and step all over my brand new white and blue rug. So I tell them to stop so I can scrub their ** off my rug and move it out their way. They stand there with attitude and talk mess in Spanish then have the nerve to be impatient with me.
On top of that the new couch is filthy and dusty, and they wanted me to sign paperwork before they finished installing and before I could inspect the pieces. I told them NO, that they could wait. So now I have to clean a "new" couch before my child can sit on it and clean my rug that no one even attempted to apologize for messing up. I will NEVER do business with them again. They will not get another dollar of my money.

Purchased a Ashley sofa at a off site dealer location. Spent one thousand three hundred for a love seat and sofa. Waited a month to receive from Ashley. Had sofa in a location in my living room that was a open space, the middle section of sofa broke hurting my 10 year old daughter. Contact store I purchased set from. They said they needed photos which I sent them. They said it was sent to Ashley.
Another month goes by and they tell me they will give me the floor model. I was ok with that as it was not broken. When I get the new sofa I put against a wall for support. It helped - it last a little longer than the first but it also broke in the same spot. This time I went straight to Ashley to deal with this problem and as the off site store had a big banner saying closing, they sent me to place of purchase. Went back in store only to be disrespected. I was told the first sofa was ruined by dog hair and could not be resold. They told me they would have to send someone to look at sofa before they do anything. Well I guess if you own animals don't buy from Ashley furniture.

Bought couch and loveseat 3 years ago. They said it was leather. "Lie". They cracked and fell apart after 8 months or so. I bought accidental warranty, and that went to waste. After I went to the BBB they finally sent out a mechanic to look at it and he would contact me back when it can be repaired. Well it did not get repaired. They wrote me out a gift cert. check back to the store for 1 year. I went back after 7 months to buy something and they told me "The gift cert. is good but we can't take it because we are under new ownership". TOTAL BS.
I took them to court and won. Went to get my money from their bank, filed all the paperwork and nothing. The account number was smudged from the check copy I have from bank. So the back of the check reads everything correctly like "From this bank to this account number and then the account number SMUDGED". Hmm...curious.

Our couch from Ashley furniture was delivered a little over a month ago and I happen to discover while looking for my cell phone that the bottom of the non-detachable cushions a ripped at the seams. Obviously defective material. I called the warranty department and sent pictures and they said it is not covered or they will come out and look for 50 dollars. We spent 5000 dollars on furniture that day and have realized that we spent good money on cheap defective furniture.

A few years ago we bought a whole house full of furniture from Ashley Furniture. Please note this was BEFORE they merged with City Furniture. Great stuff, great price. Recently we bought a reclining sofa. The first one delivered was severely damaged. The frame was bent beyond any reasonable point of repair. For about a week I fought with them to replace it with another. They refused saying they had to send a repair technician first even though I had the couch less than a week. Eventually someone down there did figure out it was too damaged to repair, and he authorized a replacement. The replacement arrived with the stitching unraveling. NOTE: THEY STATE IN WRITING EACH PIECE IS INSPECTED BEFORE IT'S SHIPPED. Baloney!
We asked for our money back at this point, figure who knows what else is wrong with this couch, and were told that they have a strict "NO RETURN" policy. I guess when you know what you sell is going to be damaged or defective most of the time, you cannot afford to take it back. Right now we're going to be waiting days to get someone out here to repair the stitching. This is the last piece we buy from this company. They have lost a lot in the past few years including my loyalty as a customer.

I cannot believe I was duped into buying these sofas after being a savvy consumer. We purchased these in the summer of 2013. Within 1 year, the sofa collapsed on 1 side. Since we purchased this from an outside vendor other than Ashley's showroom, we were directed back to our vendor. Since the lifetime frame warranty is difficult to get results, the vendor asked me to open the cover on the bottom of the sofa and to describe to him what I found before he gets involved. I could not believe how crappy the sofa is constructed. The little skinny wood cross beam that extends across, holding the springs snapped in half. The wood was mostly hollow in several places from being of an extremely poor grade. The vendor repaired it after I delivered it back to him.
It took him about 3 days which made me wonder about the quality of the repair. Sure enough, last week the same side collapsed. Today, the other side collapsed and the sofa is now squatting on the ground. People have been making remarks on youtube and the internet that "That's what you get from buying a cheap $1800 sofa." I do not think this is cheap and a sofa should last more than a couple of years. Someone gave me a cheap sofa when I got married and it lasted easily for over 25 years. I do not outwardly wish bad for people but today I am making an exception. I am angry. I can hardly wait to see the demise of Ashley Furniture. It will happen sooner than later since there are uncountable similar complaints about Ashley.

They then called us back and said the furniture was not coming to the warehouse until December 16th. They would then call us for a possible delivery date.
Calling Ashley Furniture revealed that this is not an Ashley owned store, it is "Regency Furniture". Calling the 301-782-3800 given to me from Ashley, I was told they would email the manager and they would contact me.

Repair person tried telling me it was my uneven floor and that was the reason I could still see a gap! Seriously.. He was trying to make me look stupid and then saying that "ok. Yeah there is a problem and a new one will be order but because of the holidays it will take long." Almost as to make me take it and live with it.
Got a call from their department and was told that the repair guy had been vague and he did not have authorization to order a new one or as they put it "no exchange ". You mean to tell me that when I pay full price I have no say in the item being deliver? I take it as is which is clearly defective.

BUYERS BEWARE. Do not buy from Ashley Furniture Stoney Creek! You will be extremely disappointed with delivery and customer service if you are not happy with the quality of the furniture delivered! Our new Couch and Chair set was delivered just 2 weeks ago. I called just 2 days after our new couch and chair was delivered to report a broken piece of one of the legs and screws popping out of its side and back, almost breaking through the leather, which inevitably will very soon. The delivery guys said they deal with this all the time and that they will replace them within 30 days if I just call and let them know.
Ashley said they wouldn't replace it unless I want to pay a 25% re-stocking fee... EXCUSE ME. They are supposed to be brand new, not damaged, and now I'm stuck with an inferior product even when I purchased a full 5 year warranty which is pretty much crap... Just a money grab. They said they will send someone over to assess the damage to be fixed... After only 2 days I don't want them to be fixed, they should send new ones. Someone came out from a contracted third party by Ashley a few days later and even they agreed that it's not worth fixing, too much material, time and labour involved to fix it, which is what they said they would put in their report. About 2 days later the Manager of Ashley Furniture in Stoney Creek called and asked if the problem had been taken care of... NO of course not, obviously they don't follow up with their staff or reports... They still refuse to replace them and want to fix it.
We are extremely upset and disappointed after spending so much money, they are treating people like this. Everyone else has a 100% satisfaction guarantee... Well apparently not them. We should have looked at all the bad reviews Ashley Furniture is getting before we bought from them to, which is something we do occasionally before buying a big ticket item and didn't this time which was a serious mistake. I would honestly return the damn things but I'm not losing my hard earned money because of their stupid 25% restocking fee. How can you restock a damaged product which you know they will still make money off of trying to sell as damaged goods somewhere? And don't believe the delivery guys, they probably tell you what you want to hear so they don't have to put the product back on the truck right away.

We were then told that we would have to wait a week for the screws to arrive, and then after, schedule ANOTHER date for the bed frame to be assembled.
Today is Saturday Nov. 29th, we have been waiting a week for the parts, and still have received nothing; the bed frame is sitting in two separate boxes in the middle of our bedroom, collecting dust. I placed a call to Customer-Service and Distribution center, phone-# 732-548-1200 this morning, and spoke w/ a representative named Ray who was of no help whatsoever; he informed me that the parts for the bed were shipped the 23rd and 24th of November and they should be arriving today (yeah right); he also informed me that the parts would be coming via "snail mail".

After that I asked for my money back and I left with a big mouth of Randy saying the money that you paid is not worth all this headache.

I had just moved to town literally the same morning I visited the store. That would be the first and last time. When it came time to run my credit they used my new address that I've lived at for only a few hours. I put my old address on the form but the guy requested my new one which I thought he needed for delivery purposes. So after hours of picking out furniture and filling out forms I got denied because he used my new address that has no credit history. For a furniture company you would think they would have a little more sense than that. Anyway after wasting my time I went across the street to another store and got approved immediately. Save yourself the headache - spend your time and money elsewhere.

11-23-15 (Pre-Black Friday Sale). This afternoon my wife and I went to Ashley Furniture in Middletown, NY. We needed a coffee table and two end tables. We came to Ashley because of the 15% of SALE they were having, as well as we purchased our Leather Sofa recliner and matching chair and a half leather recliner about 2 years ago (about 3,000 dollars) and a Chest of draws for the bedroom (about 800.00).
While there we looked around and were being helped. We looked through the books and after some decisions narrowed our search down. The salesman looked up the prices and told us what the items would cost (about 1325.00) which I believed was the SALE price since the sale is 15% off. He then asked if we had an Ashley card, and my wife said YES. So he asked how we were going to pay. He said if we pay CASH or 6 Months financing he can give us about a 200.00 discount. Otherwise we could finance interest free for 36 months. While we were deciding what to do we were there for a while. The salesman came back over with the manager and said he had to leave to pick up his child but the manager would help us (at least I believe he was said he was a manager).
We asked the manager if he could do any better on the price and we told him it was 20% off online. He said he could match that. My wife and I were speaking again and then had the question that blew the sale. We asked about the discount and the sale. He then said they were one and the same. I was very confused and the manager did not care at all. He did not even try to explain when I asked further. He just walked away, as if "oh well dont like it go somewhere else." My wife and I spoke about it for a few minutes further deciding what to do, realized he was not coming back and left. We saw him up towards the front corner of the showroom, in a conversation with another employee. A complete lack of customer service.
This means there is no REAL SALE. A sale is for everyone during the sale period, no matter what the purchase method is. This is only a discount if you buy cash or for 6 month financing. There is a huge difference in the meaning of the words Sale and Discount. Sale: a period during which a retailer sells goods at reduced prices. Discount: a deduction from the usual cost of something, typically given for prompt or advance payment or to a special category of buyers:
This is not a sale and is a true BAIT AND SWITCH tactic. I believe this is even illegal under NYS Truth and Advertising Laws. We were very disappointed. This was the worst experience furniture shopping ever. My wife has been considering buying a very expensive bedroom set that you have, we have been trying to make room for it. At this point I am glad we did not purchase it.

I bought furniture from Ashley Furniture. When they delivered I told the guy delivering the furniture that the furniture smelled and he said he didn't smell anything. When they left, I immediately called the company and told them this furniture smelled bad, and another piece had scratches and parts missing. They told me to open the windows and air out the furniture. I should have had the guys take back the furniture when they delivered it. They told me to call on Friday if it still smelled. I called the following day and told them the smell was burning my eyes. They told they were sending someone next Wednesday to evaluate the furniture. They continued to ignore me that the smell was burning my eyes. I called different people and they would tell me to call someone else. I wasn't sitting on the living room anymore.
On Sunday evening my daughter in law and I sat down to watch a movie and turned on the heater. Our eyes were burning so bad. I called the next day and told them this is a health hazard. And they said they would pick up the furniture in 72 hours. I called the corporate office and explained, "If I was calling about the wrong color or something defective I can see you taking your time but if someone calls and tells you it affecting their health the company should react immediately." Today is Monday and they told me they are picking up the furniture on Wednesday. I want to cancel.

I purchased $1500 worth of living room items. About a week later, I hear on radio that Faith Farm stores sell Ashley Furniture discontinued items at a discount. What a "Shocker". Exact same items I paid for were $360 dollars less. Ryan "general manager" who was no help after 3 days or so, I got him the prices, SKU numbers and pictures of this furniture from FF. He then gave the run around. Corp has to decide if I get any discounts. He didn't even know that FF sells and advertises Ashley furniture.
I wouldn't mind if they did but actual discontinued items not the same as Ashley sells. I asked for some kind of discount, I was willing to work with him. He then tells me because I did a 18 month credit card that the salesperson offered, that the store would lose money. Who tells that to a customer? It's cheap "made in China furniture" that is overpriced. Ryan has no customer skills in keeping a customer happy. Great job Ryan on losing good customers. I paid off my card and cancelled.

I purchased a sectional sofa and after 2 months, the side of the sofa cracked in half. When I looked at the arm after the technician came to repair and took the fabric off, I realized the sofa is made out of some kind of cheap compressed wood. Why would a company make a sofa that must require a lot of weight distribution out of virtual particle board? The sofa is made out of crappy material and I know after this arm is repaired, something else will fall apart. I will NEVER SHOP WITH THEM AGAIN. I don't care how much of a discount they offer.

We purchased a brand new furnished house in the Villages 3 years ago. It was rented for a total of 1 year. When we moved in we noticed one of the drawers in the bedroom dresser did not close right. The entire house was furnished with Ashley furniture so we called them to try to get it repaired. We were told that line of furniture was discontinued and parts were no longer available for replacement. That was all they could do, thank you and goodbye. Well, I called back and after several minutes with the same young woman from earlier, she eventually told me I could go shopping and try to find a similar drawer slide and if they still made those, she could get me a part. This dresser was 3 years old, not 23.
It isn't like I was looking for something antique. So once the line is no longer made, you cannot get a part to replace anything unless YOU want to go shopping to find a part that may be from a current line of products they are still selling. What service is that? We started by sending an email to Ashley but they never even bothered to return an answer. I cannot believe you cannot get a part to fix something when the product is only 3 years old. And have them just say there is nothing they can do and then hang up.

My first experience with Ashley Furniture was a chair I bought from the Riverton Utah store. It was nice and sturdy with good fabric, so it seemed. Within a year or two the foam in the chair degraded to the point that I was sitting on the wood practically, this was at least 6 inches of foam at least. All the screws came loose so I had to put Locktite on all of them. Then within another year or two the fabric wore out to where you could see through it and it now has holes where you sit. The wood is still nice and the screws are holding. It will cost as much as the chair to re-upholster it. Ashley said they can't do anything about it, they should back up their product much better. No chair with medium use should have done this in this amount of time, we have had it for 4 years and it only took three years to do what I have explained.
Second experience was when we bought a bed and mattress from them in their Salt Lake Store. By the way customer service was pretty good. Within 6 months I had sunken into the bed more than 4 plus inches, it felt like I was in a hammock. I could not roll towards the center due to the foam breaking down so much. We called them and a nice guy came out and hung a string across the bed that was weighted down on both sides. He said that it has to be an inch and a half depression to be defective. You don't have to tell me, after sleeping in a hammock, that there is something wrong with this mattress. We flipped the mattress as recommended and within a month now it feels like I am in a hammock again. The bed has held up and is nice still.
I recommend the wood products so far, use Locktite, but I cannot recommend anything that has foam in it. The only reason I gave it a two star instead of a one star was that the people working there were pretty nice.

I am in the process of returning the power base bed and mattress that was purchased from Ashley Furniture on August 24, 2015. Due to their poor Customer service practices. Please accept this as my written claim during this matter. Sept 7th I received an automated call stating the delivery would be set for 1-4pm. I did not receive a call from Ashley's stating they were delivering the bed early. I received a text from my elderly mom stating Ashley's arrived at my home 11:52 a.m. By the time I arrived at 12:40p.m. the drivers were gone. My old mattress and box spring was taken to be disposed of as I agreed previously. The problem began when the set up of the base was 2 different colors and fabric. One side of the railing was left off and the base was cocked to fit, leaving the other side of the rail off the head board/foot board.
I would not have agreed to the delivery based on the conditions nor would I have agreed for them to take my old mattress and box spring being I was dissatisfied. I went to the store and spoke with Barbara ** and she stated the store manager Tobin was not available until Thurs. and asked if she could help. I explain to her what had happened and my dissatisfaction. I also showed her pictures of the job. She suggested that I could get rid of my headboard and footboard to make the power base fit. I expressed to her that wasn't an option. Sept 9th I received a voicemail from Tobin, the store manager, stating he would do ANYTHING to work out this matter and was very apologetic. I called back and Tobin scheduled someone to come out to look at the job.
Sept 11 Tim from Ashley's Furniture investigation team came out and took measurements and pictures of the base of the bed. Tim stated King instead California King base would fit based on the measurements. He also discovered the mix match bases. The King bases were then ordered and set for delivery for Sept 19th. Sept 19th The King bases were delivered along w/ my mother bedroom set minus the base of her bed she had ordered. The driver stated that the bases were on back order. So I contacted Ashley's customer care and the rep mentioned the drivers don't know what is in their delivery until the day of. The delivery driver removed the Calif King bases. Put a dent in the left side of my wall up the staircase. I express to the driver that he just dented the wall. He apologized and continued to move the bases downstairs.
I contacted Ashley's customer care AGAIN and spoke w/Lisa. She informed me that the delivery charges would be reimbursed on my order as well as my mother and a gift card of $500 would be mailed. She asked if I could send her a picture of the damages to the wall so it could be forwarded to the delivery team. Per her request it was completed. Sept 21st I received a call from Ben ** from xpo and was asked to email an estimate from my painter and he would get in contact to settle the matter by the end of the week. Per Ben's request the estimate/invoice of the damages was sent on Sept 22nd. NO call from Ben on Fri. So I called Mon Sept 28th and left a voicemail message. I called Sept 29, Sept 30th, and Oct 1st. I then called Tobin the store manager at Ashley's to negotiate the cost of the bed for my troubles.
Being I was frustrated with the process and was considering returning the purchase, he said he would call back. Patricia ** salesperson called back and offered to take $1000 off the total price of the bed. She also upgraded my mother base for her trouble. Oct 6th I spoke to Ben **. He mentioned he didn't receive my email for the estimate of the damages to the wall. I explained to him it was delivered and wasn't a returned email. He then stated he found it. I then requested the name of his supervisor and phone number. He gave me Brian ** and his phone number. I called Brian. He stated he would need to have a contractor come out to look at the damages due to the cost of the estimate. Brian said he would set something up by the end of that week. NO CALL from Brian or Ben.
Oct 18th I go to the Ashley store and speak with Tobin and asked if he would schedule a pick up to return the my total purchase since I no longer have a desire to have it. He stated he wasn't going to allow me to return it and I need to refer to my contract due to bases and mattresses are non refundable so I left the store. Oct 19th I called Customer Care and spoke with Claudia. She transferred me to Joyce ** her supervisor. Joyce said she would have someone from the xpo delivery team call. Albert ** called and asked if I could email pictures of the damage and invoice/estimate. He stated he would schedule someone to come out by the end of the week.
Per his request I emailed him the estimate and pictures of the dent. He sent a email back and said he didn't receive the picture of the dent but did receive the estimate so I resent the email of the pictures of the dent the same day to **. In conclusion I am totally dissatisfied with the Customer Service I received from Ashley's Furniture and Would NEVER recommend any business if they were the last furniture store standing.

I went to Ashley Furniture to buy a queen sofa. The color I wanted was not available so I selected another color. It was to be delivered the 25th of that month. On the 24th, I received a call telling me the couch I ordered had need damaged and the replacement would be delivered in 3 weeks, but I should check in regularly because sometimes they come in early. So the delivery from the original date was a month late. The customer service rep told me they would give me a $100 in store credit. Remember the part about calling in early, I did and it was in stock. I was so relieved, but they refused to deliver it until the new date they had provided.
The couch arrived and I went to put the queen sheets on it, but they sent a regular sleeper size, not a queen. I gave away a brand new set of Queen sheets and purchased full-size sheets. I loved the color of the couch in the room. Unfortunately, anytime my skin comes in contact with the sofa, I have a serious allergic reaction. They had me come to pick out another sofa. I did and made certain it was a queen sleeper. In writing up the order, I asked that they apply the $100 in store credit. They had no record of it. In the end, they took away the 15% sale price I had on the original and gave me the in-store credit. When I did the math, I realized by doing this, they actually charged me more by not giving the 15% discount too.
In delivering the couch, the delivery men whined and complained. They tried to take the old couch out without removing the couch feet and ultimately got the couch stuck at the door and tried forcing it, putting a crease in the steel door. They finally decided it might help to remove the couch feet. Then they grabbed the new couch and despite my recommendation to remove the feet, tried to jam the couch through, again getting it stuck. They stopped to remove the feet and moved it into the room. Once they got passed the door handle, I realized they damaged the electronic keypad used for entry by tearing off digit 5.
I pointed out the damage and asked if the delivery men were bonded. They didn't know making the response a no. The next day I called the store about the damage and asked again if the delivery guys are bonded. Customer service did not know but assured me Management would be calling me the next day. Two days later, no call. And for the final punchline, I'm severely allergic to this couch too. There must be some spray they apply to the fabric.
In summary, Ashley Furniture cheated me financially, lied to me, prioritized sales that came in after mine because it was convenient for them and the list goes on and on. Even worse, I have a brand new couch my skin can't touch without blistering. When it comes to money, I think of it as voting. If you want to take a great deal of risk with a company like Ashley Furniture, spend your money there but be prepared to deal with issues or use your money to vote anywhere else. When Ashley Furniture realizes their sales are down, they can read these blogs and start focusing on having exceptional integrity from the top down and improve customer service by allowing them to make commitments the company will honor. I'm 51 years old and have serious health issues. I don't need Ashley Furniture, but they need customers.

It was my first time shopping at Ashley Furniture and I purchased a very expensive mattress and a dining server. The sales lady was very nice but everything that happened afterwards was awful. First of all, delivery took several weeks. I was under the impression I could return the mattress within 3 days if not satisfied given it was very expensive but apparently she was only referring to the dining server. I would not have purchased it if I thought I couldn't return it if I didn't like it. It was definitely not worth the amount of money I spent on it and is as comfortable as a much cheaper mattress in my view and so I did not want to spend the money.
The dining server was damaged when I received it. It is wobbly and a piece had broken off. They clearly do not have quality control. They said it would take 3 weeks to have someone come out to fix it so I'm still waiting. I've called several times on the mattress issue and talked to several people, including managers, with no resolution. The company needs to honor what it said but they won't.

I ordered a bedroom set (bed, mattress, dresser, box spring, night stand) from Ashley Furniture and was really excited as it was a beautiful collection. I just relocated to my new place out of Country and had been told my furniture would be here on a Saturday (1 month ago). I was staying in a hotel at this time and needed my bedroom set in order to move into my new place. Ashley furniture then stated they would not be able to deliver the mattress on this date, meaning I'd have to extend my stay at the hotel. On the Saturday I was delivered the first load of everything, and they had forgotten the baseboard to my bed, so could not assemble or have the mattress. Finally 2 days later I received the mattress and baseboard. Both times the movers did not have a cart or anything to help move, and complained the entire time as I live in a condo with a decent walking distance.
Next, they assembled my bed, and I realized the baseboard they attached was not the baseboard I ordered. I then spent calling customer service for weeks and kept being told that I would be called back. This obviously never happened. This week I was finally able to get a hold of somebody and arranged a delivery for my baseboard today. I was expected to have my item delivered between 1045-1445. At 1515, I still had no delivery and contacted customer service only to find that the baseboard had been damaged, and I will have to get a delivery on another day. I am extremely unimpressed by the unprofessionalism this company has demonstrated. I have wasted countless hours on the phone and waiting at home for multiple deliveries. Complete lack of respect for not being notified earlier today for this damaged baseboard, and instead I spent waiting around for nothing.

Yes it is if you have a magnifying glass.
They should make it very clear prior to purchase and initial the return policy. Who used their furniture everyday within 72 hours to know if you like it that much. I even said to charge me a restocking fee and just give me store credit and still no. Everybody knows furniture is marked up to 600% so my set cost $1279 so if I paid a 20%restocking fee they would have gotten almost $260 which is probably their cost. They kept saying they would lose money taking back. LOL, HELLO you are not losing money you idiots. You can resell it at a discount and with my $260 you made out on the deal.

To be honest, I am too exhausted with my dealings with Ashley Furniture to write the shameful review of my experience they deserve right now, but because I just discovered this website, and do not want to forget to do this, I just want to say these 4 things. 1st- DO NOT BUY FROM ASHLEY FURNITURE!!! 2nd- Their furniture is made to look and feel great in the store, but is very substandard when you get what you purchased. 3rd- Read the fine print very, very thoroughly when it comes to financing, returns, insurance conditions, everything. They are very sneaky. Lastly, trust all of these customers negative reviews.

We bought a 2 Sofa sets from Ashley Store in Woodbridge, VA. All pieces have started peeling. I contacted the corporate office & sent pictures. Corporate came back to say there was nothing they could do. At the time of purchase I was forced to buy the protection plan. In some place the leather has peeled all the way off. Ladies at the service desk are very rude.

We have had delivery, product, service, and customer service issues. We chose to go to Ashley Furniture and spend the extra money as we were expecting reliable furniture and helpful customer service. Our experience has been anything but that. We ordered over $4000 worth of furniture, including a bed, dresser, a mirror, 2 nightstands, a couch, a coffee table, and a rug. We realized that the dresser, mirror, and nightstand would not make sense in the one bedroom apartment we had, so we called to cancel (within the 48 "hassle-free" cancellation window). We called the store as instructed and they would not let us cancel, insisting that we had to speak to the salesperson who sold it to us and he hadn't come into work yet. I don't understand why I have to chase this salesperson in order to cancel something off of my order that I don't want.
We insisted that we speak to the supervisor and after an hour on the phone (during work hours), we were finally able to get these items canceled. Then the delivery team came, WITH the products we had asked to cancel. We refused to accept as we had already went through hoops to ensure these items were taken off of the invoice. Then the delivery team realized they did not have all the parts to put the bed together AND the bed rail was completely cracked. We paid nearly $1000 for this bed and it was delivered broken. The gentlemen who came to deliver the furniture said that they would take the unwanted product back and file to get a replacement for the bed rail.
We have been sleeping on the mattress on the floor for a week now and although we have called the store, we have yet to hear any indication that this bed rail will in fact be replaced. Furthermore, we have yet to see the refund go through for the furniture that we canceled off of the invoice over 3 weeks ago. In fact, the gentlemen delivering the product said that these types of things happen all the time and we have to go to the store and make a "big fuss" in order for anything to get done. My husband is calling AGAIN and has been on the phone for an hour with zero resolution. They are now saying that they have not taken the items off of the invoice (although we have an email to prove we canceled). This customer service is bordering a scam at this point. Ridiculous and unacceptable customer service and business practices.

I had purchased a mattress from Ashley Furniture 2 months ago now. My boyfriend and I were happy to get such a deal that included the mattress, box spring and frame for an affordable price. We were told that delivery takes about 14-28 days normally but since it was just a mattress and didn't need assembly like larger furniture, we could expect it in about a week and a half.
We were then called to "schedule" delivery on a day and time frame during the day that both my boyfriend and I work that was 4 weeks from when we purchased it. We weren't even asked when would be a good day/time, so that's not scheduling. We said we couldn't do it that day/time since we wouldn't be home, so we were told they can "reschedule" it for two weeks later for a rescheduling fee! We've been sleeping together on a twin for months and this was unacceptable, seeing that we still paid a good amount for all this. "Free" delivery means they inconvenience you.
I then requested that I drive a half hour to their distribution center to pick it up myself since we weren't going to wait another two weeks. After telling them that I had a Subaru Forester and had ties for it, it wasn't until I got there (leaving work early of course) and they decided that it wasn't going to hold properly on top of my Subaru so I couldn't take it home. On my way home, I spoke to a sales room manager, very upset of course, and inquired about the return process since we waiting long enough and were inconvenienced too much for it to be worth it and we were going to go elsewhere to purchase a mattress. He was very helpful and assured me that he would figure it out and have them schedule the free delivery for a day that works for us and that he'd waive the "rescheduling" fee.
My boyfriend also called later since he was upset, and the lady at the showroom that he talked to said that they'd offer us either $50 rebate or $100 in store credit for the inconvenience they caused us and to keep our purchase. After we finally received our mattress (6 weeks later), we still haven't received the rebate/credit so I called customer service and they deny it all and say there isn't a note on the record (which my boyfriend was told the lady would write on the record so everyone was aware). Terrible customer service. When we started having issues with this purchase, everyone I talked to said that we shouldn't have gone to Ashley Furniture. I wish I knew that before going. Such a headache.

Wow, I wish I would've read these reviews before I purchased or should I say attempted to purchase our new dining room set. Like many others talk about on this thread I experienced the same thing when it comes to the quality of their product. The first dining room table was delivered with the top separating and the glue exposed. (One would think that would be caught before the customer see it as it give you a very clear look at the product quality.) So I refused table and one chair that the wood was splitting where it was put together. All in all the delivery people were great and could believe how this table looked. I then make a complaint on Ashley website and was told this was not a corporate store and my complaint would be forwarded. Never heard from them. Fast forward a week and I get a call for the delivery people say they will make sure my next table comes out in perfect shape.
One week later my delivery is scheduled on the time frame of 3 pm - 5 pm. I get a call around 1 pm for the delivery people saying it may be closer to 5:30 pm. They will give me a 45 minute call ahead. No big deal, until it's now 5:30 pm and no call. It took me having to contact the store to find out what's going on. I was then told it's on the truck and will be delivered around 7:30 pm. (whatever) Based on reading the reviews today we all know what arrived. Another ** up table. It's a quality control issue that Ashley don't care about. I know when it comes to furniture you get what you paid for and that's why I thought I was ordering quality, almost $1600.00 for a table and 6 chairs. Refused entire order! I have a whole house to furnish and will guarantee nothing will ever be bought from Ashley Furniture HomeStore! Good luck people!

Bought Ashley furniture in the past and two of three couches had cushions that will NOT stay in place. The first one had velco strips that in time wore out so guess they knew the cushions fall off easily. They flip off the couch or droop off the end. Nice looking on the show room floor and I bought the matching swivel chair as well. This couch is pure junk and I have already seen reviews agreeing with me. SO, new couch and what do I do with it to make cushions stay in place? I have shoved them clear back and pushed them in but they flip out the minute I sit on them. I am not a heavy person either. Luckily we don't entertain much. Kind of scary that the couch isn't user friendly.

I'm Back to Consumer Alert. I will NEVER shop here again. All they want to do is close the sale. They could give a crap about any issue. I purchased an electric base for my Tempur-Pedic mattress based off their bed expert's recommendation. We wanted a more professionally built version to raise our heads then board lifting up the head. We got the base installed, and when I got home it was sitting on the floor. So first lie from Ashley was it arrives just like this. In the show room it's sitting on this pretty gray cloth base thing with black legs. Mine, sitting straight on the floor. When I call and say wuzzup they say "Oh we will send a base out", then they send this cheap little metal put together bed frame thing like I had when I was a child.
We called the next day after sleeping on this heads up adjustable base explaining it almost put me in the hospital, sent my blood pressure through the roof, and kicked up my GERD so terribly it wasn't funny. Also we woke up with a pinched nerve in our backs and necks. Slept on the adjustable base the second night, same issue but worse. All we asked for was a store credit. Instead they tell us if we spend $4600 more then will trade in the bed. Mind you we still have that $1595 base on our credit card. Then comes lie number 10 or 20 out of their mouths. They say "Oh if we take this back we have to take it to a warehouse and burn it." Do you really think I'm that stupid? Don't insult me. I have 3 degrees sir.
Long story short we finally filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and got a pretty negative response from someone that I didn't appreciate, but they were offering a trade with a restocking fee (30% plus a new $195 delivery fee). We basically ended up purchasing the bed frame. We went in there to look at before they convinced us this heads up base would be better. He even said "Yeah you could put a bed skirt over this base", pointing at the grey base we never got to put under the box springs.
I pity anyone that makes a purchase at this place. If you have one second of an issue, best of luck to you. It just won't happen. So $500 more later we now have a bed that should have cost $1300. If you must purchase, buy from Ashley Website. Prices are better. Corporate Ashley not this franchise, would have actually given us the credit we wanted.
I want the owner of this store to know I will tell my story to hundreds of people. I hope your ripping me off of $500 makes you happen, because that is going to turn into $1000s in lost revenue. It's already happening sir. 2 sales you already lost this week. We left your store and went to Havertys, got amazing service. They have a 3 day no fuss return policy, and we would have been much better off there. Might I mention, we spend about 4 grand in their store that day, so yeah $500. Oh and then there is my friend I convinced to buy his recliner anywhere but your store, because I would hope NO consumer reading this should ever have to deal with your pathetic customer service.
Now on the plus side, the delivery guys were awesome, and some of your staff in the store are super nice. If you like to be harassed by used car salesman in a furniture store with a bunch of high pressure lies and tactics, then you will LOVE Ashley Furniture Homestore in the town center. Havertys's same prices, better quality. Hope ya'll listen to me. Tell Havertys Jerry sent you!

So they have my money and I have no furniture, and they're going to charge me a 10% fee if I cancel the order. How is this right?! Can't they rent a truck from U-Haul so they can still deliver the furniture. How does a company like this have one truck?! And no back up plan when things happen.

3 weeks later nothing happened. We didn't get no calls no missing and broken piece was received. My husband call the person that helped us when we went to the store and he made a lot of money in commission because our order was close to $4000.00. He told my husband that he doesn't know nothing about it and there is nothing on the computer and he said he will get to the bottom of it. Now we have our son that have to share his sister's room because his bed is not safe for him to sleep. And one of my daughter not being able to use one of her drawer.

If only I could give them ZERO stars!! I made a purchase on the evening of September 4th 2015. The transaction included 4 dining room chairs, a dining room table, a bench to match the table and 2 hanging lights. Total was approximately $3000. I was originally told that the bench wouldn't be available until November 6th. A bit long, but since everything else would be delivered on October 17th, I could manage without the bench until a month later. I was assured that everything else would definitely be to my house on October 17th, that there were 3 tables coming on October 15th and as long as we finished up things that evening before anyone else made purchases that there would be no issues.
October 14th arrives and I receive a call confirming my delivery appointment for the 17th. However I was informed that the table was on back order until November 19th! I went into the store on October 15th. I spoke with the manager (Chad) regarding the situation and that I would take the floor model since I was specifically told that my table would not be on back order. Chad told me that he would email someone and told me that he would call me before 5 pm to let me know. At this point the table had a sign on it saying that it was due to come in early November and was dated October 1st (another misrepresentation).
5 pm comes and goes, and Chad did not call. Luckily he was still at the store when I called him. He told me that he wasn't able to give me the floor model because then they wouldn't have a representation of the table in the store. He claimed that he was "working on getting me one sooner" and would call me by 5 pm the next day. 5 pm October 16th comes and goes, and no call from Chad. I call the store and he's gone and won't be back until Monday. I ask for his supervisor and the lady told me that she didn't know who it was. Later a message was left by Tracy confirming partial delivery for Oct 17th and that Chad is working on getting the table and he will keep in touch with me.
October 17th - 1 light and 4 chairs are delivered, but not the second light. It wasn't on their delivery sheet. Contact store, was told that this should've been a carry out item (It's hanging from their ceiling). I was told on Sept 4th that it would be delivered with the rest of my items (new in box). Lady from store said she would call me back once she finds out what's going on. So I ended up paying > $500 for a used light fixture. Lady calls me back 10 minutes later and confirmed that this was to be a carry out item. She informed me that I shouldn't have been told that the table would be delivered that day because "Everything is on back order."
Now I need to come into the store to pick up a light that was to be delivered, but I couldn't pick it up until Monday when they had someone to take it down. She told me that she would have Chad contact me (he'd get in at 8 am) regarding why this wasn't told to me in September and why I've had to wait a month and a half to find this out, in addition to what's going on with the table that she still shows arriving Nov 19th now, not sooner like Chad claimed to be working on.
October 19th 12:30 I called Chad since I haven't heard anything confirming light pick up or an update regarding the table. He claimed that a Tracy was working on this and supposed to follow up. Message left by Tracy was just that Chad was working on getting the table sooner and that they had a partial delivery for Oct 17. Chad seemed to know nothing about the light that was due to me and needed to be taken down. He also told me today that DC handles getting the table issue taken care of that there was nothing he could do, contrary to what I was told Thursday! Left on hold for approx 20 minutes. Chad will call me once light has been taken down and when he hears back from Tracy regarding the table today. Light guaranteed not to be broken/damaged and wrapped and boxed when given to me.
Tracy called me back, gave me a date of November 12th for the table. I told her it was unacceptable, and requested the showroom model again. She's contacting the store and merchandising trying to get this approved. Said that delivery fee would be refunded. Stated she would call me back today with an update.
As of 6:30 pm today neither Tracy nor Chad has called me back to let me know about resolution for the table and picking up the light. I contacted the store, and the associate manager had no notes from Chad, nor did anyone know anything about a light needing to be taken down for pick up today! Nothing but lies coming from the store manager. From what I've read since dealing with this for 5 days now, this seems to be a common issue with Ashley Furniture. Oversell, over promise without any follow through on the promises. At this point, I am filing a BBB complaint against Ashley Furniture Avon Indiana location.

Delivery truck eventually showed up and our mattress was NOT on the truck.

After talking back and forth the store manager had agreed to credit our "bank account" $183 not the finance company for the inconvenience instead of delivering us a temporary mattress and my wife and I would just ruff it out. A week went by and I had contacted the store manager to check on our mattress and our refund. The store manager gave us an eta of another week on our mattress and stated that he had to wait until the mattress was delivered before he could refund me my $183 otherwise it would go back to the finance company Synchrony which we had used to finance most of our large purchase.
Finally a week after our mattress was delivered, I once again contacted the store manager and he informed me he couldn't refund me my money to my bank account per company policy. I then contacted Ashley Furniture Corporate on two different attempts since... the first time corporate told me I had the money ($183) pending back to my "bank account" so I called the local store and found out in fact that it wasn't... several calls back and forth and in conclusion I'm not getting my $183 credited back to my bank account as promised.

I purchased a queen size mattress and headboard/footboard from Ashley Furniture in Milpitas. The customer service in the store was great. It was delivered and set up with no problems. However when I laid down on one side it was uneven and pitched me slightly toward the center of the bed. Nothing you could see by looking at it, but definitely off structurally when you got on the mattress. The other side was ok.
They sent a technician out to take pictures of the mattress. He said that he was not allowed to lay on the mattress but could already see that the rest of the mattress was sagging a bit. His comment to me was that he visits several homes due to customer complaints and most likely, Ashley Corporate will deny my claim, and he encouraged me to stick to my guns. I thought he was exaggerating - how could they deny a claim for a brand new mattress - well they did. They said a 1" to 1.5" drop is within normal limits.

I ordered a bedroom set from the Ashley Furniture Store in Concord, CA, on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015. I also ordered a small table that I ended up canceling the next day. I spoke with the manager, John, to cancel the table and he indicated he would speak with "corporate" about my delivery date. Someone was to call me within the next two business days to arrange for a delivery date. I didn't hear from anyone so I contacted the store. The first lady I spoke to told me the items would arrive at their Oakland warehouse on 11/14, a month after I placed my order. This was unacceptable to me since my salesman told me I should receive the items within a week. I was put on hold, and miraculously, the next person I spoke to told me the items were arriving the next day and I'd receive a call next week about a delivery date.
My hinky meter went into overdrive at that point. I called the store back and asked for the manager named John. I told John it was nuts to make a customer wait a month to receive their order. He told me he would have someone from "corporate" call me within ten minutes. I didn't receive a call from anyone at corporate so I started looking at the reviews regarding this company. I am so glad I did because based on my preliminary experience with this organization, and reading the reviews, I could see this purchase was already turning into a bad experience and wanted to nip it in the bud. I called John back and told him and I was canceling my order because I was getting the runaround.
I immediately followed up with a faxed letter confirming my cancellation. Lo and behold, it was then that I finally received the call from someone at "corporate". I reiterated my cancellation of the order. At that point I needed to speak with someone at "corporate" to cancel my order. What a ridiculous process. A written letter isn't an adequate cancellation for this company? Once I verbally cancelled my order I was promptly told I was going to be charged a 30% restocking fee. You probably don't want to know what my response was. I am headed back to shopping for a bedroom set from a different furniture store.

I purchased a set of mattresses for over $3K. Salesperson made a mistake and one item that was delivered was wrong. I asked them to return it. They refused to give me any proof of return and a week later this item still didn't show up in the warehouse. The store refuses to do anything by phone so I traveled there for 40 miles twice. I do not expect a refund because they seem very cagey and dishonest blaming one another for the mistake so this experience will cost me about 1K. The salesmen were extremely solicitous while selling but are nowhere to be found when I need them now. I will complain wherever I can think of but DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE.

We bought about 4,000 dollars in Furniture on their 5-year no interest plan. They made us buy insurance for 499.00 dollars. Said if we didn't use it the money would be returned. We went in to pay off the furniture early (2 years), refused to refund the 499.00 until 2018! Said we might need the insurance. We don't want the plan but that makes no difference to them.

Hi, I bought a complete living room furniture from Ashley Furniture including a leather 3-piece recliner sofa along with a love seat and recliner. I bought this 4 years back including purchasing an extended coverage plan. After about two years, the leather sofa started to show discoloration indicating issues with the quality of leather. I called the extended service and they could not cover this. I called the store and they promptly had that corrected. I was so happy! Now after two years, the same problem. I called the store and this time they said we cannot help you. This is now not covered. I explained to them that this is a product quality issue. Leather sofas are not supposed to be replaced in 4 years and if so, Ashley should have mentioned that their furniture is a use and throw product after 4 years of use. The store told me that you can decide to replace the sofa or live with it as this is not their concern.
Is this how a reputed firm is supposed to provide its products? Buy from Ashley only if you are ready for such a treatment or better still buy a second hand product instead. This is really very unprofessional of them. The store also had a cheek to tell me that if you are not satisfied, you are free to do business with someone else. Really? That sort of an attitude is a sure indication of a company's downfall. Look back at corporate history. I do hope this is read by someone in Ashley Corporation if they still truly value their brand.

THE WORST FURNITURE BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Delivery men left couch wedged in the doorway, couldn't fit it in, so they left it right there and left!!! I purchased a whole new living room set, 12 pcs total. On the delivery day, the two men that came with my items, started with the sofa. These guys were shorter and smaller than me, a female who is 5'7" and 125lbs, spoke almost no English and could not lift, rotate and move the sofa!! They couldn't fit the sofa through the front door and ended up taking the door off the hinges.
Following this spent almost an hour trying to get the sofa in! I attempted to explain how they can get it in, since I already had a sofa from when I moved in which was bigger than the one they were trying to bring inside!! They would not listen and couldn't understand me and what I was trying to explain to them! I had a couple neighbor guys come to try and help them since they could barely move this sofa on their own. They ended up just standing back and not doing anything!! Then they got on the phone with customer service, told me they were leaving, got in their truck and left!!! With the rest of my furniture still in truck! They left the couch where it was stuck in my doorway, hanging down the stairway from my apartment!
They left the door off the hinges and even left their tools!!! I am a single mom with three kids, starting over and this was something very exciting for me and my kids, this was absolutely just ruined and was the worst experience I've ever had! The customer service people I called and spoke to were no help at all! I went into the store and spoke to the store manager and she was just an absolute witch to me. Completely rude and indifferent!

9 months ago my husband and I went to Ashley Furniture in Rockford IL and for 3 days we looked at couches. Our sales lady Patty helped us out. When we found the couch we wanted (a memory foam sleeper couch because it is what my husband and I are sleeping on) it was $1169.98. Patty told us to spend $100 to get the 5 year warranty and it would cover anything that would happen to it (we have 2 kids that like to jump) so we made sure it covered if anything BROKE. Well about 3 weeks ago I sat on my couch and a corner piece broke off and the whole bed fell. We cannot pull our bed out and the whole couch sags. We have been sleeping on the floor.
WE call the warranty people Guardsman and they said they won't fix it unless we dropped it while moving it. Not if you sit on it and it ACCIDENTALLY BROKE. So after calling the Rockford store for 3 weeks their service guy was supposed to come over. We sat home for 4 hours and he never showed up. Then a week later he finally came over. Looked at it for 5 mins and took the piece of the couch that broke off and said he was going to his manager and either fix it or give us a new couch.
Now a week later the manager now says the service guy said it was customer abuse - which that is the only thing that isn't covered. We called corporate and they said they will help us. They called us 5 mins later and said there is nothing they will do for us. So me as a customer that paid them the full amount of over $1200 for a couch we bought 9 months ago and they refuse to even fix it. I'm not asking for money back or a new couch, just it to be fixed. And for people that don't have much money and for months they save and finally buy their first brand new thing with their hard earned money, just to be told "sorry we already have your money and we won't honor your warranty" is a slap in the face. I don't have any more money to even buy a cheap sleeper couch because I work part time and go to school full time and have 3 kids. This is what's wrong these days.

After 3 weeks I called them to find out they had washed their hands off it & would take no responsibility because I had purchased the sofa from a store that was going out of business. I did not purchase a floor model however I ordered it & received the sofa/sleeper 2 weeks later.
When I asked them what I was supposed to do with a piece of non-functional furniture they said that I'd have to call "someone" to have it fixed but they could not recommend anyone or help with the cost of repair. I'm really embarrassed that Ashley Furniture is made in Arcadia, Wisconsin, my home state. If we weren't required to rate our Ashley experience they wouldn't get any stars.

About a year and half ago myself and wife bought a living room set (sofa+love seat+coffee table+2 end tables+2 lamps+area rug) from Ashley. The sales lady sold us an extra warranty from store. We was told warranty covers everything except pet damage plus the manufacturer warranty over $1200. After about 6 mo. the sofa sank in, we thought it was just a spring but when we called Ashley they sent us a form to fill out. We sent it back. Then finally after about a month a tech guy comes over, looks underneath and shows us the frame was busted and tech guy was blaming us!
I can assure you we did not! It looked like someone took a sledgehammer and wailed away, my 2 kids combined weight is barely 125 lbs and there was no visible damage on outside of sofa to give hint that damage came from outside of sofa. The frame was sticking out so bad from back of sofa that it cut through leather and made a hole in the wall!! Sooo me thinking that I got a double warranty, I'm covered right!!! Wrong. Ashley says it's a manufacturing problem, when I call manufacturer they say it's the store's problem! And so they keep bouncing us back and forth, tell us we need to send in forms only to get a reply back after 30 days saying same thing, "SORRY IT'S NOT OUR FAULT. Call the other guys."
And the worse part is after about a year the leather started to crack and deteriorate and cotton started to come out over the course of 6 mo. (year and half total) the sofa and the love seat leather got so bad it was embarrassing when people would come over, we had to cover them. They looked like we found them on street corner and picked them up. We recently moved from that home. The sofa and love seat was so bad we just left them in the house. We couldn't get the sofa even if we wanted to cause sofa would not fit through door cause of the frame was sticking out that much... My guess is from warehouse the forklift that moved sofa cracked the frame and as we sat on it, it got worse till it finally gave way... as for the leather cracking and deteriorating... I have no idea, they shouldn't do that within a year... and Ashley's warranty is a joke. DON'T BUY!

I bought a Blended Leather Sofa in July 2012. After a little more than a year it, the Blended Leather started coming up. I had the extra protection and called the company which told me I was not covered... so I felt that was the end of it. In October 2015 I finally decided to call the store and ask has anyone else had this same issue. I was told YES, many has called and complained about it, but the store was referring all customers to the Corporate Office, which was only giving some store credit.
The Store salesperson said it was a Bad Sofa and they are telling customers about not buying it. So I have searched the Forums and Discussions about this incident and see that I am not alone. On this site of CA there are 4 complaints Daren of TX , Sure of OH, Christina of NM & Charles of TX.

I purchased a sofa and love seat set from Ashley Furniture as a gift for my wife. I visited the store a few times as I was shopping around for a very nice leather set. The sales person assured me that I should buy from them and that they have great warranties that cover anything. Well, a few years down the line and both the sofa and love seat have scarred areas and peeling. The love seat is rarely used as there are only three people living in the household. The furniture is never hit by sunlight as their location is in the middle of the room where the windows aren't placed to let the sunlight hit them. The love seat despite not getting much use, is just as bad in condition as the sofa. I called Ashley and of course, there is nothing they could do.
Please take your business elsewhere. It's also interesting because my mother-in-law just purchased a bedroom suite from them and I have already told her to send it back and get a refund while it is still within the time frame. She said that someone in the store told her that they had trouble with some of their sofa manufacturers and that they were aware of issues with peeling, cracking and discoloration. However, still no help for existing customers. My point is, do not buy from them or refer anyone their way if you want those people to ever trust you again. I am now in the process of purchasing another $2000.00 sofa and love seat to replace the ones from Ashley that are approximately five years old. The peeling and stuff started a while back though, long before the five-year period.

So they called us to come and get it, yet when we got there, it was not there. Too bad for me and my hour drive each way... twice.
Then for the furniture... It did not look like what I had purchased in the store. The quality is crap. Bunching fabric, huge gaps in the frame, the back of the chair is actually missing part of the foam padding. So the fabric collapses there. It is seriously awful. I paid $1200 for crap, and TERRIBLE customer service at their 1-877 number. I am told it "meets their manufacturer standards", so I guess I am just out all this money.

I kept calling the salesperson that I dealt with and each time he assured me that they would make sure the next delivery was in better condition. Finally, I decided to purchase a different set and because I selected a 6 month deferred interest finance option with one of their banks that they are in cahoots with, I specifically asked the salesperson if he could update the date of purchase since I made a totally different purchase. He assured me that he would and it would not be a problem. My original purchase took place in January, the second in February with an additional purchase that had not been made originally which made the sales total even greater than the original purchase.
After all was said and done, I made paid my account in 6 months time and was then billed the interest that had accrued on the purchase because come to find out the salesperson never contacted the lender to informed them of the change in purchase. I contacted the lender and informed them of the entire situation and that I had documents with dates of purchase to verify my story and they informed me that they would adjust it if the store manager would verify my story. I contacted the store manager who refused to help me stating that the original sale date stands even if I never took possession of any furniture and even if I had documents with a later purchase date with and invoice with totally different numbers and made additional purchases.
This has left a very bad taste in my mouth because they basically make a sale, get the customer to do their financing, then the customer service goes out the window.

I wish I read these reviews before I purchased the product. I bought a love seat and sofa called the Ashley Exhilaration Chocolate. The floor model was a lovely color, the leather, soft like cream, the cushions were soft and comfortable and my feet could touch the ground when I sat back. What the Coleman outlet sent from the Ashley warehouse was of a different color, rough leather (poorer quality) and the cushions on the backrest and seat are hard like a rock, and my feet do not touch the ground. I spent a whole day speaking with people from the Online Coleman outlet and the Consumer dept from Ashley's, as well as talking to salesmen at the store. No one will take responsibility, and although I've been told by the Coleman rep Melanie that it does look different than the store sofa (I texted her pictures) "the label under the sofas are Ashley's and they are what I ordered" she said.
This is a typical bait and switch, sending us a less quality product than what is on display. Perhaps a class action lawsuit is in order since it seems to me that Ashley furniture does not stand behind their products, and all the reviews are negative in nature. I am very disappointed and to return the product will cost us a 25% restocking fee, close to $500 which also indicates that they are aware of the issues with their furniture and this is the best way to take the customer's money without providing and not take responsibility for a poor product.

On 9/19, we walked into Ashley Furniture store in Fairfield or I should say on our way to Fairfield Ca. to purchase several furniture pieces for one of my properties in Benicia Ca. We were recommended to this store because we had several clients that mentioned Ashley Furniture in Fairfield Ca. has some good selection. So we decided to take a look. Right off the start when we walked in we knew the store had low-quality items, which the pricing on the items were evident of that. However, we kept an open mind and started to look around. A salesperson approached us. We started asking him questions and he was obviously confused by so many of the promotions that was going on.
After being in the store for roughly an hour, we picked the an item we thought it could work in our property. However, I noticed a very nice dining set which the quality stood out for me so I decided to see if the salesperson can negotiate with us to see if we could purchase both pieces and give us a break in the pricing. This where the owner/manager of the store got involved. Not only I was surprised by his appearance (completely disheveled), but he had an attitude of "take it or leave it" and pretty much rude. We have dealt with many businesses and we meet different individuals with different temperaments, but in this case, he just seemed agitated for no reason - maybe he was having a bad day. We canceled our order and left the store. Even the salesperson apologized to us as we were leaving saying, "I can't wait to leave this job because of the owner of the store".
In short, we are baffled why this store is still in business. I would highly recommend to stay away from this store. The owner/manager has no clue about customer service or even working towards growing his business. I believe when someone is ignorant about their business, eventually that business will fail. I'm sure their turnover of employees at that store is high simply because the owner/management is completely unaware of good business practices which starts with good communication skills (business 101). In short, you can get better quality items, better customer experience and sometimes even better pricing at some other furniture stores such as Ethan Allen, Pottery Barn in SF etc. We hope this honest review will help consumers wanting to go this particular furniture store.

My wife and I purchased coffee and end tables from the store on Monday. They delivered the items to us Thursday. One of the tables was not level and the delivery guys could not fix it. I tried to call the store that evening to tell them (this was also stated on the delivery sheet that it was not level). My wife called to tell them she was bringing the items back, which she did so the very next day (less than 24 hours). She spent 3 hours at their store, and picked out tables to replaced the tables that was damaged, and then Anthony told my wife that she could not have the tables on the floor. He then told her she could not return items and that they had a no return policy but the statement on the receipt clearly states they do have a return policy. She asked him if he worked off of commission and he said yes, he does and she told him she will never, and I won't either, buy anything from Ashley again. He said to her, "Well you would return it anyways."
First, they need to be clear about their refund/return policy. They did not even mention this during the sale. Second, they should take their items back when they are damaged and give a refund. We had a party that Saturday where 60 people were coming to my home. They would not sale any items off the floor and would not give her a refund so that we could purchase something else from another store. Third, once they make a sale and get your money they should not turn around and then treat the customer like crap. Anthony was rude, of no help, and they will not give me a refund. I don't want an in store credit where myself and wife are treated inappropriately!!! This company is shady and once they get your money they screw you over!!!

I purchased a Durablend recliner couch from Ashley furniture in Pasadena TX and purchased the Warranty from Montage Furniture Services because I have small children. The store salesperson said it covered puncture damage or Acetone damage. I just submitted a claim because my son decided to take a toy and hit the couch causing 3 puncture marks. The claim was denied because they determined that the damage was due to "general wear of the cover."
Yes the damage was in an area that had general wear, but it is a hole and the warranty clearly states that the warranty covers damage such as this. I called the company to complain and the employee that I talked to looked at the pictures herself and admitted that the damage was clearly visible on the pictures I submitted and she admitted that they did not want to replace the cover because it was in an area that already had wear. My advice and my gut is to never get the warranty because they always try to screw you and not pay for the damage. I will not be shopping at Ashley furniture anymore.

Purchased a mattress and box springs with a new bedroom suite. We spent thousands with this purchase. Within two nights on the bed it was so uncomfortable it made mine and my husband's back and neck hurt. It was like sleeping in a hole. We called to have it replaced and they sent someone to assess it. After spending two minutes with a measuring tape he decided it was only 1/2 inch deep and couldn't be replaced. He also mentioned a small paint chip (which was there when they delivered it!) on the very end of the mattress. I told him it was there and even the delivery people had seen it! I also mentioned it had been in the protected mattress cover since they delivered it (you know the one they push on you to spend an extra $100!).
Needless to say, Ashley sent us a letter refusing to replace the mattress! Are you serious? It's been a year and we are still sleeping on it and have serious issues with neck and back pain every day now! We can't just go out and spend another $1,000. They should be ashamed of themselves!!! We will never, EVER buy from them again. Be VERY cautious if you purchase anything from them. It's just not worth the stress! They are not a reputable company.

I would rate NO stars but made me at least give one. Ordered a bed, media center w/ fireplace, two night stands. On delivery day the deliverymen showed up and told me there was no hardware for the bed. After a long silent stare, I asked "what are you going to do?" The delivery guy said "I guess call dispatch." They took the bed back and said they will call me.... so sleeping on couch for 10th night. Prior to leaving I asked if he was going to install the fireplace, his response was no and told he "what I have to do to install it." I inspected the furniture and it was crap! The molding on media center was not flush so unfinished wood was showing and there was a scratch.
Both night stand drawers were installed incorrect because there was unfinished wood showing. I asked delivery guy to take it all back, he said to call the store. I took pictures and went directly to the store and asked for refund but was told by Dave the manager all sales are final but could get a store credit minus 30% restocking fee. After he made several unsuccessful attempts to reach the distro company he sent them email and said someone would contact me. The day has ended with no call. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM ASHLEY.

BUYER BEWARE: I had a horrible experience at the Willowbrook location in Tomball. I purchased a girl's bedroom set from this store. Initially I picked out the bedroom set that my daughter liked and put it on their layaway plan to get the items held at the sales price. This gave me the opportunity to look around at other stores to see if we could find something better at a more reasonable price. After we finished checking out the other stores, we decided that we were going to go with the bedroom set at Ashley Furniture Store. We had been given a great cash price on the twin bed, dresser and mirror so I thought. When I went to pay for the bedroom set I asked the sales manager when would the bedroom set be available. He said "once you pay the balance out I will be able to know when it's going to be in stock and ready for delivery".
I then asked him about delivery hours, since I work Monday thru Friday and on call most Saturdays I was concerned about delivery hours. The sales manager, Tom, said "Oh well we deliver up until 9 pm". I was relieved about the delivery hours thinking I can choose hours that will accommodate my work schedule... After I got home and reviewed my receipt that is when the nightmare began. I noticed although I thought I got a really good deal on the bedroom suite, the salesperson ONLY quoted me on the twin bed, and dresser.. not the twin bed, dresser and MIRROR, what is commonly purchased when you buy a bedroom suite. So therefore my good deal was really a rip-off. Pay CLOSE attention to anything that you sign. Take your time and read the documents FULLY. I then called to arrange hours that were good for me.
I was basically told I was not at liberty to pick my hours and that the delivery truck runs by geographical area and that THEY will give me a time frame (3 hour window) in which I must be home. So I had to cancel all my plans and take off from work. Once the delivery truck finally arrived, the headboard had a large scratch on it. It was covered with white paint to make it unnoticeable.Really??!! I just paid over $700 for a twin bed and dresser, (no mirror) and there is a large scratch on delivery??!! The delivery guy said "well we can get you another one in 7-15 days. It's a big company, we can replace it with no problem." He even took a picture in an effort to acknowledge yes, it's not acceptable. He said that he made a note about it.
I called customer service and asked the procedure on getting a replacement. I was told by the representative that it's the policy to not replace furniture if it's not refused at the time of delivery. I am just glad this experience is over. I will not spend another cent of my money at the Ashley Home Store in WILLOWBROOK (Tomball location). Take your money to Gallery Furniture, Rooms, Star or even The Dump, since Ashley Furniture delivers damaged scratched up furniture anyway. The staff at Ashley Furniture store I dealt with were ruthless con-artists. I suggest recording them during transactions and reviewing EVERYTHING before you sign.

I purchased two large electronic recliners from Ashley. The one they put in my bedroom was defective from the start. The padding on the leg lifts was inadequate so that the wooden boards would cut into the back of my legs cause me great discomfort. I had to put a pillow under my legs to use the chair. It was a real hassle every time I got in/out of chair. Finally, the metal cross bar under the chair broke and the chair was not repairable. I had purchased the repair/replacement policy. They sent an agent to my house who determined that the chair had to be replaced. It has been 90 days since they came and now I find that 1. They will not deliver the chair back to me (I paid to have it delivered in the first place) and second they would NOT remove the broken chair from my bedroom. I am 71 years old and have congestive heart failure. I cannot lift this chair nor can I load it into the trunk of my car.
It will cost me $200.00 to remove the old chair and drive over 160 miles to get the new one. The store is only 20 miles from my house but the chair was delivered to the warehouse which is 80 miles away. I do not know what to do. I do not have that much money to get my replacement chair.

I wish I would have read reviews on Ashley Furniture before purchasing with them. My boyfriend and I moved in together recently and purchased our couch with them two weeks before our move-in date. Our move in date was August 15th and we had a promised delivery date of August 22nd. They ended up calling us and telling us the couch wouldn't be here until the 9th of September. We called back to confirm that same day and they told us it was actually going to be the week after that.
Here we are, 4 days before we are supposed to get our couch. A whole entire month of being moved in and having no place for guests to sit or for us to sit and watch TV and relax in our own living room, and we just got yet ANOTHER call saying the couch will be delayed another four weeks. How am I supposed to trust that in 4 weeks they won't call back and tell me my couch has been delayed until the start of the zombie apocalypse? I will never again shop here and will do my best to steer anyone I give a crap about far away from this lowly "business".

For the first 8 months everything was fine. Then the furniture started peeling. I was told it was from body oils. After many phone calls, I got them to come out and put the same material on but about two months later it started again. It definitely is not from body oils because our love seat was moved where it was in a spot no one wanted to sit in and it is peeling just as bad if not worse than the couch. I will never buy from them again.

Purchased a new construction home and went to Ashley's to furnish one room. They were the first company to deliver on 9/2/15. We were not live there and me being in NJ at the time had to arrange someone to accept delivery. The delivery guys came and set up room upstairs. My person signed and they left. She immediately went upstairs and saw Damage to every wall and carpet. She called me and I called the store immediately. The store contacted the drivers who denied any responsibility. It was not until I produced a security video showing them doing the damage and trying to hide it that they came back to take pictures. At that time I was so mad that I wanted nothing to do with Ashley's that I told him to take the furniture back. They told me I could not, that we accepted delivery.
Keep in mind that was only 40 minutes prior. Ever since then it's been a total nightmare. Ryan the store manage gave us the runaround. They wanted to charge us a 15 percent restocking fee and store credit only. Being it is Labor Day weekend I am told they are very busy at the store that I can call back on Tuesday. Ryan is very unprofessional and sarcastic. I told them I was going to deliver the furniture myself and drop it off in their parking lot. His response was "this was not the first time." This is The mentality I am dealing with. I am not the type to complain and 43 years old and this is my first review I ever posted. That just shows how frustrated I am with this place.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. Product was damaged, walls were damaged and they do nothing. They did send out a contractor to tape and take pictures. Take a look at the pictures. I am sure they speak for themselves. Also this is their guy who taped this up so the damage is marked. He could not even believe it. Tuesday seeing an attorney. And all they had to do was take the furniture back, repair the walls, replace the oil stained white carpet. And this would be over. I guess they don't think that a customer would go this far as to hire an attorney and filing a lawsuit. I would like an attorney to contact me. I will pay to take them To court.

Ashley Furniture sells a brand of synthetic leather they call "DuraBlend". It is a composite of leather and a poly-binding compound that they claim to be "even more durable than real leather". This is just not so. They are snake-oil salespeople. There are literally thousands of complaints of this "DuraBlend" covering flaking and peeling over time. With some customers, like myself, this problem started after just a couple of years - with many others the deterioration started occurring after just months of use. Even if you purchase a 5-year extended warranty for protection against defects over the included 1-year policy, they will not honor it claiming the flaking and peeling is "normal wear and tear", which is incredibly dishonest.
This is not expensive furniture but it is also not the cheapest you can buy either. Any reasonable person would expect to get at least 5 or more years of normal use from a $2100 sofa set. If the salesperson at Ashley wasn't so persuasive about the durability, quality and comfort, etc. of their "DuraBlend" products I would have continued shopping and spent more for a real leather sofa set. But I fell for the pitch and took out my credit card, big mistake. I hope anyone who reads this who may be contemplating purchasing DuraBlend furniture from Ashley will seriously consider better options before doing so and see if you can't make a wiser purchase than I did.

My wife and I shopped for living room furniture on July 4, 2015 and decided on making the purchase at Ashley Furniture. As indicated on the contract, the purchase should be available for delivery in 2 to 6 weeks. Sometime during the last week of July, we received a call from Ashley indicating the purchase would be delivered the following week, that being the first week in August. At that point we gave our existing furniture away, leaving basically an empty living room. By the end of the following week and no deliveries having been made, I called the store from which the purchase was made. They denied making the call! When I ask to speak to the manager, my request was denied.
We then received another call indicating we could expect delivery on August 25 and that we would receive a call giving us a 4 hour window for delivery time. After waiting until 5PM and still no call or delivery, again I called the store and again their response was that they had not made a call to schedule delivery. By now we have had almost a full month of using lawn chairs in our living room, not a pretty sight! I then called the Customer Service and was told the furniture had been in their warehouse since August 20, and could be delivered on Sept. 5, and that she could make an appointment for delivery.
Keep in mind that the contract says delivery could be expected in 2 to 6 weeks. When I mentioned this they immediately answered that the contract says it may go over that by 2 weeks. Now we're looking at exactly 9 weeks to the day from the date of purchase when delivery, supposedly could be made. My response was "just keep your ** furniture." Their response was that I would have to pay a 10% re-stock fee, which I eventually did.
What did I learn from this? A lot! First of all I will never make another major purchase without first checking reviews. Had I taken the time to check reviews on Ashley, I would've never gone through the front door of that store. Secondly, just because they are a large company does not mean that they have quality products. I personally suggest going to a local company where they have to live up to a good reputation by selling quality products which is sold to you by non-pressure sales people. Yes, the price may be a bit higher but it will be offset by the lack of high blood pressure!

The worst part of all this was that Ashley Furniture never once contacted me about issues or problems but only responded when I called them. Service is horrendous. I was told that each store is independently owned and operated and that the national headquarters would not deal with complaints which is, in my opinion, the reason that places that the Romeoville, IL store are so poorly managed - top down bad attitude towards customer service.

I really do not know where to start as I am an extremely dissatisfied customer. I went to the Ashley Furniture store located on 4561 Hurontario Street, Mississauga, ON. L4Z3X3 (905)755-9030 back in July (I do not know the exact date as I went there on three separate occasions). I spoke to a sales person there and one of the store managers (taller one) who ended up selling me a Stearns & Foster mattress and Chanella table. They advised me that I would have to pay for delivery and I did not find it fair. I was also advised that they did not have the table in stock and after checking twice the salesperson advised me that I can have it delivered to my home August 22nd, 2015. I was not happy with that but decided to wait for the 4-week delivery.
When I spoke to the dispatch/delivery department they actually advised me that I get free delivery as I purchased a mattress. Why is it that I was being charged for it by the store and not properly informed? I received my mattress (the delivery guys scratched my wall as they were bringing it up and still have not received compensation for it). The mattress had a stain on it and I called to inform your contact centre. I was then told "use the mattress as much as you wish and we will get you a new one at the same time we deliver the table" (August 22nd, 2015).
First of all what if there were bed bugs or the stain was a cause of concern? I did not have another mattress and did not know what to do but sleep on that one. I was then supposed to receive a call a few days before delivery to advise me of the delivery time frame but I did not. I had to call them as I was not receiving any notification and they then advised me that the table base was somewhere in Stoney Creek and the table top was at the store. I could not pick it up as it was not the same location and had to wait.
I pushed ALL of my events and family gatherings almost 4 weeks back due to this lousy time frame and now after I called them they tell me they cannot deliver it until a few days later. No apologies. Nothing! I then called again on Thursday, August 27th, to speak to a customer representative but left a message as I STILL did not hear back from anyone. On Friday, August 28th I was advised that a delivery would be made on Saturday, August 29th between 8-11 am. I did not want to wait any longer so I agreed. I even cancelled my flight to Vancouver (for which I am still working with the airline to rectify) for the sole purpose of getting this table delivered and assembled as I had enough of delays.
On Saturday I get a call that the delivery was actually pushed back to 1-4 pm (I was upset as there was not enough time given for the change but had NO choice, once again). I did not hear back from anyone and around 3:55 pm I decided to give the customer representative a call at which time she checked with the dispatch and advised me the delivery "men" were finishing up at the house before mine and are on their way to me. I then get a call from George (warehouse supervisor) at 5:10 pm on Saturday telling me he is sorry but the "one guy" delivering the things got injured carrying a heavy item to a home. Why is it that when the dispatch was contacted minutes before my apparent delivery schedule she advised me there were two individuals and he was on his way and then the supervisor calls me and says there is only one guy and he was carrying a heavy item and hurt his "back". George then tells me that he was not supposed to be at work and made an exception due to the fact that had some "issues".
Why is that my concern? I am a customer and not your employer/employee. You can deal with your own issues internally without involving me. Then he tells me that my delivery will not be made even after I explain to him that I cancelled my flight and postponed a lot of things for this delivery. He then says "you can talk to my manager John on Monday who can discuss compensating you for your troubles, as I cannot do anything, I am just a supervisor." He also said that I would get the items delivered on Monday, August 31, 2015 during the day. I asked George "why there aren't any other delivery trucks on duty" and he said "there are but they are in Barrie" (funny how all of the trucks were in Barrie).
I took time off from work so I can wait for the delivery and guess what? I get a call Monday from a customer representative to ask me if the next Friday is a good time to get my items delivered. I asked her to get the manager to call me to which she replied "the manager usually doesn't call customers". About 20 minutes later I get a call from John (warehouse manager) telling me the reason why my items were not delivered and there were 7 other people also who he needed to call. Then John tells me that the delivery person is in the hospital as he may have broken his ankle. Why is it that he said it was his ankle and George said it was his back? I feel that there are just a whole lot of lies going on and nothing being done about it.
Then John says he just came back from vacation and is trying to "work things out" as he "got a new team that I am trying to organize." He then continues to talk and says "Will you have someone there on Friday for delivery?" I advised him of everything I have gone through and he tells me "I will look into what I can do and give you a callback." Why is it that I am being inconvenienced so many times and without ANY form of compensation and a LOT of lying? I do not want a customer representative to call me and tell me the next "delivery" (made up) date. Instead can I please get a call from someone who is actually capable of delivering some good news for a change, and making things right.

We never really had a bad experience at Ashley Furniture in Greece, NY until today. The sales manager Joanne would only talk to my husband. Every time I would say something she either ignored me or talked over me until my husband repeated my question and then she would answer him. This was very frustrating and a horrible customer experience. You don't treat people like that.

I am so unhappy with Ashley Furniture. I purchased a sectional in January of 2011 with money that I had received from my deceased father's life insurance. I wanted something I could keep forever and think of it as that he had bought it for me. I wanted a leather sectional because I knew leather lasted. Well, I didn't get leather, I got some ** Durablend junk. And that is exactly what it is. It is cracking, peeling, chipping, whatever you want to call it. I also purchased the Montage 5 year warranty just in case something was to happen. But that was also a waste of money. I have contacted Montage and they say that what is going on with my sectional is not covered and they can't do anything.
So I go to Ashley Furniture and they say they can't do anything either and to call Customer Service. Well I call them and they tell me that they can't do anything either because it is past the 1 year warranty they give. I'm not going to let Ashley Furniture get away with scamming me especially for the reason of me even buying this sectional in the first place. I am determined to take legal action against this "money stealing" furniture company. I've never done this kind of thing before but I do know I will need a lot of people to back up what this company has done to them. If you are interested, I am going to talk to a lawyer Monday, August 31, and will post everything I find out.

So excited we purchased a new home and wanted to buy new furniture. Went to Ashley Furniture and Tenisha ** was our sales person. We had to wait 3 hours for order to be processed, then to make matters worse she never called us to confirm if couches and loveseat was coming with rest of furniture as she promised she would do. After 3 weeks I called her she said "Oh gosh so sorry your furniture is not coming until Aug 18th." The order was placed on 7/5, and we were told 2 to 3 weeks.
So now furniture finally arrives yay! They delivered and charged us for 3 additional dining rooms chairs. When I called to tell them this I spoke to Jason the Patchogue store manager, and was told they are sorry someone made an error. They will credit the account when they get the chairs back, but I had to pay for them to pick up the chairs!!! How is that fair? After everything that happened from the beginning of this transaction we accepted, but THIS was too much. Jason told me I had to speak to Diane **. Called her. She was not in office (when he just spoke to her not more than 10 minutes ago).
So I called the next morning spoke to Vanessa, who informed me this was not right and she was going to speak to a manager... hence it is still not resolved.

First, the manager Marlene is very unprofessional and rude. Second, when we were trying to return the table because it wouldn't fit, they told us that it is a no-return, no-exchange policy (I am wondering if this is against the law). So, we ordered again (a big mistake) for the second time around. And this time, they scheduled it on a wrong day. When we tried to cancel it, they said, we will pay penalty and an additional delivery charge. Do not shop at any of the Ashley store. I spoke to the corporate customer service and they couldn't help either and they said, it is their corporate policy.

So far, since I purchased (Jan 29, 2015) my leather sofas that have the electric recliners on the ends, Ashley has been here 6 times for repairs. Each time I call for a repair they send a service person to assess the problem. Then I have to wait for the parts for about 3 week to 6 weeks. For this last round of repairs, they have been here four times and said they could not repair the sofas because either the wrong parts came or not enough parts. It is now July 29th (3 months later) and the sofa is still not repaired. The poor lady who does the assessment and repairs could barely speak English. I wonder if this has something to do with the wrong parts. Today I called to find out why the latest part had not arrived. After the 30 minute wait, my phone went dead. Anxiety attack! Seriously!

We purchased new bedroom furniture from the Ashley Furniture store in Raleigh NC in October 2014. Due to moving into a new home, we decided to do the two year financing option (which was a task in itself and shouldn't have been with our credit rating but we finally answered the 20 questions over the phone that was required for financing). In addition to all of the finance issues, our furniture was damaged when it was delivered. They did replace it but only with my husband arguing with them.
It has been nearly impossible to get our bill paid in a timely manner (it's like they want us to be late with our payments). First, we were sent a bill with a Newark, NJ return address so I sent our first payment to what was on the notice. I paid the bill online like I do all of the rest of our bills. The second month I received a letter saying they were sending our account to a collection agency for non-payment. I called and discovered that my bank had tried to pay the bill but it was returned due to wrong address. Then I called 8 times via automated service to the number on the bill and finally got someone (who wasn't pleasant at all) and she said I (bank) sent the payment to the wrong address and gave me a Mahwah, NJ address. I put the bill into our online banking system and paid double payment since the first check was returned.
Two weeks went by and I received another notice saying our account was going to collections. Called 6 times and finally got a voice saying I should have sent it to yet another address that was in Detroit, MI. I asked the rep if I could just pay the bill over the phone and she said, "we don't accept debit cards or credit cards over the phone" and gave me a website to go on to set up an account to pay the bill. I had numerous issues with the website and called back on several different dates receiving a message that says "thank you for calling account services. All calls may be monitored so that we can assure a high level of service. A representative will be with your shortly" and then I would be cut off.
I finally called and got a live voice after several days and set up the online account. I have been paying the account but about every other time that I try to make a payment, the online access doesn't work properly. It's like they want us to go in default on the loan so we will have to pay interest. Needless to say, I'm paying the account off early and will NEVER buy anything from them again.

Paid full amount of $2700. We waited for delivery. When truck came to our home, the two men unloaded a partial 'Leather Couch.' The outside framing was cheap, thin, and was cut and ripped in several places. The quality was not the same as what we saw in the store. We had sold our furniture and were ready to place new items---items we thought were quality furniture. We sent the truck on its way and stated we wanted to cancel the purchase and receive a refund. We drove to Ashley Furniture in Springfield, Missouri and stated we wanted our money back. We explained about the cuts and damages. The store said we had to travel to the corporate office, about ten miles away. We were told there were no managers at the sales store and that we must go to what turned out to be a warehouse and office. Small office with a security locked door leading to the offices? I wondered why the door had something like a lockbox.
A gentleman (I use the term lightly) came out from the locked area and asked me if he could help me. I could see he had two pictures of damage that the delivery drivers apparently sent to him. I told him there were more cuts and damages that the two he was seeing. I told him that not only was the furniture damaged at several locations, but that the material covering the frame was cheap vinyl with cotton backing. It's no wonder that there were several cuts and damages to the material. The couch in the store that we wanted, had strong Naugahyde covering the frame.
I told Jerritt ** (this guy said he was the top person and that there was no one else I could speak with. I asked for his title. He gave me his business card.) ** is DIRECTOR OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.

He would not give me any information other than to say the company is a team. If you turn over the card, you will be very comforted. While it does not mention Ashley Furniture, it is sooo special. I didn't see this card until Mr. Jerritt stated he would NOT refund our money! I read the company's Mission Statement (which company I don't know): OUR MISSION: To get and keep customers, to grow our business, while honoring God and blessing our customers and employees.
Now I have worked on mission statements for the government, my own companies and contributed to other statements. This arrogant and aloof individual is using his card to be elusive and attempts to lure unsuspecting consumers into believing he has religious character.

Ladies and Gentleman, I advise no one, I mean NO ONE to give their business to Ashley Furniture! I have had an absolute horror story of an experience! It all started in May when my fiance and I made a pretty large purchase of over $2,500 for a 3 pc. sectional couch, dining room table, and 6 matching chairs for our new home. We had no choice but to have the furniture delivered for the furniture all comes directly from the warehouse located in Chicago. In addition, Ashley Furniture only delivers to our area on Wednesdays. Anyways, we had our furniture delivered for the first time on June 3rd. The couch was fine, but the table looked like someone had taken a hatchet to the surface. It was gouged everywhere and looked terrible.
So we scheduled a second delivery for the following Wednesday, for it to be swapped out for an undamaged piece. Ashley furniture was not very accommodating with our work schedules and stated that they had no control over when the delivery guys "showed up at our house", so after having to cancel and reschedule three times due to not being able make it home on time from work, we finally had the second table delivered… Guess what?! It was damaged, so we sent it back. 3rd times the charm right?! NOPE!
We are now going on our SIXTH ATTEMPT to receive an undamaged table, in fact, we even picked out a different table in hopes that it would come undamaged! It is to the point where it has taken a toll on our personal schedules, because obvious we have to work around their 5 hour delivery window and make sure we are home during that time, I have taken off of work more than once to be available for their previous deliveries as well!!
We have spent time on the phone with both the Ashley Furniture store and corporate and gotten nothing but poor customer service. They told us they would send gift cards in the mail for our inconveniences, which I was okay with, but when I got the gift cards they were nothing but $50 off of a purchase of $499 or more and only one card per purchase. They are crazy if they think I want to spend another dime at their store for additional furniture after our experiences! In addition, we asked if they could just pick up the table and chairs and give us our full refund so we could go elsewhere, which they refused and told us in store credit was the "best they could do".
Honestly, I am a very patient person, but 3 months later and after 6 failed deliveries of nothing but damaged furniture, $2,500 spent, over 2 days of work missed, and my time completely wasted, I have no idea what to do! I am exhausted from dealing with the company and just want my gosh darn table that I paid $1,000 for. My rant is now over but I advise everyone to STAY CLEAR OF ASHLEY FURNITURE!!!

We ordered the mattress with box from Ashley. We specifically ordered a firm mattress because of the back issue. We got a wait time of 6 days of delivery.

We tried reaching customer care - Service centre then and it kept on coming before the call automatically went off.
Finally we called Customer care - sales desk which got connected fast and they have noted our complaint. I did not get any time for the delivery of right mattress although I was told that I will get a call in half an hour or an hour. There is no customer complaint # which is shared so that I can refer back to my conversation in case I need to call back. Do not know how this will be addressed. But quite distressful with the thought that how long will I have to wait to get the right delivery or how many times, I may have to call the customer desk further. Ideally, such cases need to be addressed carefully which should give some peace of mind to customers.

We bought a couch and chair from Ashley and the salesman talked us into an extra warranty. The furniture began coming apart by the leather literally shredding off of it. When I contacted them they said they wouldn't cover it. The furniture was not even two years old yet. I contacted the Office of the President and the lady there did help me by trying to get it covered. It took her about 3 months fighting for me and she finally got it approved after several tries.
I had told her if they don't approve I will take the furniture on a tailor and park out in the street in front of the store and show everyone going in there the furniture, the age and all about the lies to get you to buy the warranty. It has been a nightmare but they are going to cover it. I will never buy from them again.

Very dissatisfied and disillusioned with Ashley. Your advertising and reputation brought me to your store, your excellent Sales Associate David ** showed me and my wife exactly what we needed (a power sofa) and also sold us two matching tables and a service plan, none of which we had intended to purchase. We were clearly told the sofa was available as of 8/8/15 and could be delivered 8/11/15 (which fit our schedule and our need to have the sofa prior to some summer parties). This date of 8/11 for the sofa was confirmed a couple more time while we were in the store. There was no confusion about it. The two tables, we were told were not available until 8/27 and we agreed to shipment of the two tables on that date. Everything was confirmed several times. We concluded the order and paid a $1000 deposit.
But the very next morning everything changed: now the sofa was NOT available until 8/27 and the tables would arrive on 8/11. This new plan was of NO use to us. It would leave us with NO sofa and two unnecessary tables. I immediately called the Fairfield store about 10 AM and they began working on the problem. They said they would try to arrange deliver by 8/11 or 8/12 (which we agreed to). I explained I was leaving for vacation the next morning and would have to cancel if I could not get a straight answer by the end of the day. Yet throughout the day, I received no phone calls with any update. I had to keep calling them at about 2 PM, 4 PM and finally 5:30 PM to learn they had not been able to arrange delivery as promised and had no other plan to save the order.
They processed the refund of my deposit as requested but earned low marks from us for customer service, ability to resolve a problem or concern about keeping a customer informed or satisfied. Worse, in addition to losing a closed sale for completely unnecessary reasons, my wife and I are extremely unlikely to EVER return to any Ashley store or to recommend Ashley to anyone. I feel badly for the salesman, "DJ" **, who did such a great job showing us what we wanted, earning our trust and establishing a potentially, long-term relationship, just to have his time wasted and commission lost by a mixed up operation where one hand has no idea what the other hand is doing.

We purchased this Furniture in 2010 and paid around $3,000 for it.
