We bought a leather sofa and love seat. Both were extremely substandard. The leather faded and the cushions cracked within two years. The seats also caved in. Spent $2500. Please investigate the no interest, no payment. Read the fine print. It's due from the date you purchase. Not from the due date on the statement. Two years and we are now having to replace! Do not go to Ashley Furniture.

I purchased three pieces of "leather" furniture from Ashley Furniture and my furniture looks awful. The "leather" is peeling and shredding and Ashley Furniture refused to compensate me for my furniture. They said that I was out of my one year warranty. I will NEVER purchase anything from this company again. I had to call them several times to try to reach some sort of resolution and to no avail. I do NOT recommend this company to anyone! If you don't want to have to replace your furniture within a couple of years, do not purchase your furniture from Ashley Furniture!

My husband made a purchase on August 30th. We ordered a lift top coffee table and a sofa with a chaise. The furniture was delivered 2 weeks after purchase date. The day after the furniture was delivered, the coffee table broke!! It broke after 24 hours of having it! A spring fell off that lifts the top. I called Ashley and we set a date for a repairman to come out. The repairman does his inspection and says "We will have to order a new top for this table because the spring is pressed in by a machine. I will go ahead and put that order in."
I call Ashley a week later to get an update on this order and they said, "We have no record of this order being placed. We can't even order a new top for this table. The whole table needs to be replaced. We can have a new table delivered to you and we will take the old one." I gave her the Ok for the new table. I call a week after this phone call to get an update on THIS order. She says "We actually won't have this table in stock until NEXT YEAR." I get upset as this is getting ridiculous. So she puts me on hold to talk to her manager, comes back and says, "Actually, we do have this table in stock but it can't be delivered until November 25th."
My table broke a month and a half ago and it still has not been fixed. Also, the couch we ordered is VERY POOR QUALITY. It started to look used within the first week of having it. The fabric is coming loose and it has the "old and wrinkly" look. Couches shouldn't get worn out so quick. So I requested to return both pieces of furniture and they said no because it has already been 48 hours after purchase. You can only cancel your order within 48 hours otherwise you are stuck with their crappy furniture.
I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and am currently talking with corporate. If I would have done research on this company before we made purchases, I would have NEVER purchased anything through them. They have more bad reviews than any other furniture company. I am wondering how this place is still in business.

All sales final, they do not disclose this until after you purchase your item. If it doesn't got or you don't like it in your home, then too bad. Find a reputable furniture store to make your purchase.

Was so excited about our new bedroom set! It came in and looked beautiful! Day two I got in and tucked myself in and all the sudden the whole thing came crashing down. Normally my dog sleeps under the bed but he hadn't come to bed yet - thank God. I called the next day and they told me 2-3 weeks to get someone out to fix/replace the parts. NO SYMPATHY… Nothing. Will never buy from them again. Hate sleeping on the couch!

We have been trying to return a couch since 9/13, it is now 10/11 to a local Ashley's store where the the item was purchased. Due to the fact that the invoice has my name as 'sold to' and my husband's name as 'deliver to' (address is the same), the manager delayed my return request on 9/13 because he thought that we may have been in a fight and I was simply being malicious. I am not sure how to interpret that decision other than sexist, which is against the law. The person who the item was sold to has every right to return the item without enduring personal questions about their private life.
Once I explained who I was sleeping with and that we weren't in a fight on 9/27, I called on 10/3 to schedule a pick-up time. We set it up for 10/11 and no one shows. Distribution has no record of a pick-up but I have my cell phone records, which clearly shows the call being made and length of time. They have now once again promised to pick up the couch on 10/18; this will be a month after my initial request for a return/refund.
In the meantime, they have been earning interest on my money, which is financially corrupt. I have no idea when I'll ever get my money back. The manager said 10-14 days once the return request is entered into the computer (should have been entered 9/13) and then another associate said once the item is returned and inspected so who knows. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!! Total incompetency.

Do not ever buy from this company or any of their products. We purchased a media chest from our local Ashley store, but did not want the one in the showroom. The drawers were not tight and would move six inches side to side when opened. I asked if I could pick the chest up from the store and they said yes, but I would still have to pay $50 for having it shipped to the store instead of my home. I asked if the chest would be delivered in a box so it would be protected when I took it home in my truck and they said yes it would. I called the store after 3 weeks and they said the chest had just came in that day.
I drove to the store the next day and was told to pull around the rear of the store to load the chest. When I got there, there was a chest sitting there with no box. It was covered in dust and the drawers were loose like the floor model. I asked if they still had that and they said no. After looking into the loading area, there was not a piece of cardboard anywhere. It didn't take much to figure out that they were trying to give me the floor model. This where it went down hill quick. I refused to take the chest and requested a refund. The manager said he would have to call the general office to get it approved and processed, but they were closed for the day.
After 6 more weeks getting the runaround, I told the manager that if a credit was not posted to my credit card in 5 days, the next call he and the general office would get would be from a lawyer. The refund was posted 4 days later. I have never had to wait for a refund to be approved anywhere. I found a much better solid wood media chest elsewhere for $150 less than Ashley's best price. Ashley salespeople give used car salesmen a good name.

I've purchase a sofa and chair along with a 5 year warranty. Well the sales rep explain that if it gets a rip, stain or even ink, all I have to do is call and they will have it clean. Well, I called and spoke with a representative. She had to find my information because during my move, I put it somewhere. Now while we're waiting for her computer, we were talking, laughing at things and joking. All this time being recorded, but not an issue for me. Well, after she finds my information, she then tells me that they cannot warrant my warranty because of the joke I made and I need to have the movers pay for the cleaning.
My you, the movers were my fiancee and myself! Have proof of that. Ask to speak with a manager and all she did was repeat what the first ** said. At that point I asked for a refund. After I request a refund, she tells me that they will deduct from time of purchase and I have to fill out a request form showing proof of purchase. Duh! You know I purchased said items, because the rep gave me all the information including my old address and phone number. I was so pissed that I told her to email the information and hung up. There must be a way to stop business like this from stealing folks' money. I will investigate this more.

I purchased a brand new mattress two years ago. It was an expensive top of the line memory foam mattress. I had spoke with the sales person extensively about my medical needs and was guaranteed that the mattress I purchased would hold up and last for many years. After looking at numerous mattresses I decided on this one. I was insured that if there were any problems I would be taken care of. Less than two years later the mattress started sagging and when I would sit up to read a book I would sink to the box spring. I had them come out and they examined the mattress. Told me they would get back to me in two weeks. Well six weeks later I still had not heard from them. At this point I can't even lay in the bed without it sinking to the box spring. When I was told that there was no recorded manufactures defects and I would not be able to replace the mattress. I discussed the problems I was having again with the customer service rep and was told there was nothing that would be done. I have an over $2000 mattress that I can't sleep on in just under two years of use. I am frustrated and angry. I will never shop at Ashley's Furniture again.

September 1st after much comparison shopping, I bought a love seat and sofa from Ashley. One small problem, the love seat would be placed on back order, and I should have it in 3-6 weeks. "Okay, deliver them together", I said. Time passes. Yesterday I received an automated phone call that my sofa and love seat would be delivered this Saturday or 41 days later (5 weeks, 6 days). Today at lunch I receive a human phone call telling me that the love seat is still on back order, and they can "deliver it November 22", (42 days from this Saturday). "Would that be okay?" My response, "No, I'll be at your store in 10 minutes". Well they refunded my money in full (what choice did they have?). When I pressed them on the fact that they got to use my $1196.00 free for 6 weeks, without any penalty they kind of shrugged, and said they're not authorized to do anything. That's too bad, because along with never spending a penny there ever again, I am authorized to warn everyone I know that if you buy something from Ashley, and they mention "3-6 week delay" you're being lied to.

I purchased a sofa on 9/10/14 and have spoken to at least 7 people in their customer service center and at the store. They told me their server went down and as a result they can't schedule a delivery for me, even though they said the sofa is in the local warehouse. I've been told so many stories from their various representatives that I don't know who to believe. Unfortunately I didn't look at their Facebook page or YELP until after the fact. Looks like they always have delivery problems. Today is 10/6/14 and I still don't have my sofa and they still can't tell me when I will. WELL, I went to the store where I purchased it and cancelled the whole thing. I used my debit card to pay for it and the money was taken out of my bank before I got to my car, but now it's going to take 3 to 5 business days to get it back. It should be treated "same as cash." So I guess they stay in business by using your money for a month.

I purchased new bedroom furniture July 26, 2014 from Ashley Furniture in Fountain Valley California. I spent over $4,500 and was very excited about this furniture based on its appearance and other furniture I purchased from Ashley over the years. On Thursday October 2nd I received a damaged media center and one night stand was supposedly on back-order. The bed was damaged and had to be rejected. On Saturday Oct 4, I was supposed to receive the rest of my furniture and was told during the delivery that the media center was on back-order. I received a broken nightstand and there was a problem putting the bed together. This will be the third delivery that I will be getting from Ashley Furniture. Apparently my time is only worth a $100 gift card (so I will come back and buy something else at the store?).
Now hear this, I will never shop at Ashley Furniture again. Do not shop here. The delivery service is horrible and the goods appear to be damaged in the warehouse and not even inspected before they deliver to the customer. Also come to find out, the furniture is made in Vietnam. I guess you don't get what you pay for. I thought $4500 might get me some good furniture but apparently not. I would love to just return all of this and get my money back.

Bought a twin mattress from the Palmdale, Ca. Ashley Furniture. Had it delivered and was told by sales rep that they would pick up my old mattress. Drivers got here, delivered new mattress but would not take old full size mattress because of lightly soiled and stained. Okay. I get that and understand that. My problem is, why didn't the sales rep tell me that they would not take the mattress if it had some light stains on it. What old mattress doesn't have stains on it I ask you?? And why are the sales reps not trained by store managers to have their sales reps tell the customers this before the purchase is made.
Called the local Ashley Furniture phone number and told the store manager what had happen. All he wanted to do is offer some lousy gift certificate. Forget it! I don't want your lousy gift certificate.
Now I have to wait a week, leaving the old mattress in my driveway till trash day until Waste Management is able to pick up my old mattress. (Funny - they don't have a problem with it). I will never shop at Ashley Furniture again. The problem I had sounds small. But it was a pain in the butt. Wasting my time, money and the aggravation with this company. Even wasting time having to write this complaint. But I hope it serves a purpose in letting everyone else know about it. Don't have a 5 year old or more lightly soiled or stained mattress, they won't take it. Call your local Waste Management. BLAH on Ashley Furniture.

I would never recommend anyone purchase anything from Ashley's Furniture store. Ever! I received a damaged dresser, nightstand, and bed, wrong color sofa and chair. I spend darn near $2800 and five out of five items were missing or damaged. It's six weeks later and I still do not have my sofa and chair. Today, I was just told by the repair person that my bed set is a "matte finish" and there's nothing to be done about the scratched up surfaces. The store manager or acting manager is a complete jerk when you call to complain who told me and I quote "Unlike other furniture stores we don't uncrate our furniture from the manufacturer so we have no way of knowing whether the furniture will be damaged or not" and "I've been doing this 26 years and that's just the way it is." REALLY??? Sure wish I would have know that BEFORE my purchase!!! Don't buy from Ashley!! That's MY recommendation.

I purchased a pub table and the additional warranty. After having this table for 3 months it warp along the seam. They replaced the top of the table. Now the paint on the table is chipping, I placed 7 calls into customer service after the technician come out. It wasn't until I called the BBB that they called me back. Their resolve was to yet again replace the table citing that it was due to improper cleaning and placing hot objects on it. It's a kitchen table-- why wouldn't I place hot objects on it. I was not satisfied with their response of replacing again.

Ashley Furniture has failed to timely address damaged furniture my mother bought that was covered under an extended warranty purchased 1/12/2013. She has contacted your company since January of this year through telephone calls, emails with pictures of damage, and has been to the St. Johns Town Center store location twice to get help. My mother is retired and a widow and has become frustrated to the point of requesting my assistance with this matter. I have personally made four calls in the last 3 weeks and have yet to get past the point of a direction you are going to take on this matter. I called yesterday and still have not received a call back. If you chose to ignore our repeated attempts to bring this matter to a close, we will proceed through the appropriate legal channels to make sure that some type of conclusion is brought to this matter. We will be finding all possible websites to post our displeasure with Ashley Furniture, the amount of attempts to get assistance to this matter as I promised by Shelby last week if we didn't get a response.

I purchased a couch from Ashley and before the warranty ran out the couch started coming apart at the seams. They sent someone out who sewed it up and left. It came apart again only this time it was worse. They are telling me there is nothing they can do because now the warranty has expired. Basically they sent someone out to sew it up until the warranty expired. When I called them back they said although they weren't required to do so, as a courtesy they would send someone out to fix it again. The second person didn't do anything to it. He said the couch should have been replaced the first time while it was under warranty and that he was going back to the store to discuss this with them. When I didn't hear from anyone, I called the store. They told me that I would hear from someone on Wednesday. I still have not heard anything from anyone and as far as I'm concerned, they didn't honor the warranty.

I will never buy ** from this place again. Sales associates just care about that extra dollar they're making off you. 1) The sales associate never told my boyfriend and I that we had to pay the tax upfront when she bribed us to come back for a "private sale". Then when we go to buy our couch, this lady says "oh so it will be $180 today." For what? I was not giving them a penny out of pocket. The manager ended up letting us just finance it. We waited 2 weeks for our couch to arrive, it finally came today. I come home to find a HUGE scratch in the cushion, so heated. Called them, never received a phone call back. Still waiting. I'm about to send back this couch as fast as I bought it. My boyfriend asks the delivery guy if he could help just move our old couch outside, the guy says "only if you tip me". Buying a couch isn't suppose to be this stressful. I recommend people looking somewhere else.

I purchased a Revolution sofa and love seat in 07/11. Within weeks I started have problems with the leather peeling. I contacted the store and they referred me to the Premier insurance company. They told me I couldn't file a claim because peeling is not covered under the warranty. After complaining for the last three years the store reps told me that there is a recall and lots of customers have been complaining about these particular sofas. After calling they finally decided to give me a store credit of $718. I was told I can find something different and I have to get them back their damaged sofa.
I expressed my anger for the situation to their call center and was told there is nothing they can do to change it. I can either use the credit to purchase something else with $700, will probably be a portion of one piece or keep the damaged pieces. The manager of the call center was very rude and told me they don't have to do anything because the manufacturer warranty is expired. She wouldn't listen to my complain and cut me off several times during the phone conversation. I advised her that obviously there is a issue with the quality of the furniture because they are giving credits. I think it's unfair that I purchased $1700 furniture and the only options I have to fix it is either pay out of my pocket for the difference or keep the defective furniture.

I ordered an entire bedroom set from Ashley/City Furniture, and spent around $2,000 on it, plus $130 for shipping. The sales rep told me if I ordered the storage trundle, I don't need to buy a box spring for the mattress. She didn't have the storage trundle, only the trundle bed, but told me it was identical, just with drawers instead of an extra bed, and it ran the length and width of the bed. The day they delivered the set, I noticed several damages on every single piece. I sent everything back. They redelivered the following week, and again, everything was damaged. The third time, I received a dresser, the bed was damaged, but I had to keep it because we needed a bed, and the nightstand, and chest were damaged, and got sent back.
I was told someone would come out to repair the bed the next day. Nobody showed up. I called, and they told me that no appointment was set, and I would have to wait at least a week. They also damaged my hardwood floors in four different areas, by moving the bed around. I was told they would repair that as well (I'm doubtful). The trundle I had ordered was not what had been described to me... It looked nothing like the one I had seen, and was maybe a quarter of the size it was supposed to be. I had also been lied to about not needing the box spring. The three narrow slat would never be able to hold a mattress, so I sent the trundle back, along with the other pieces, and still had no bed to sleep in.
The fourth time, they sent a boxspring, but the furniture was damaged, so I sent it back. The fifth time, I received a night stand, but the chest was damaged, so I sent that back. Today was the sixth delivery, for the chest. It was damaged, I sent it back. The customer service supervisors refuse to discount anything, or even remove the delivery charge for my order. I paid full price for this garbage. Their only solution was for me to send everything back, and shop somewhere else for furniture. They have been so horrible to me, they will not do anything to fix the problem, they just continue to send me damaged pieces. BIG damages too... I don't understand how nobody notices these things before bringing it to my house! I will never ever use them again!!!

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

I bought a blended leather sofa from Ashley on Labor Day 2011. Three years later, the sofa is a disgrace. It is peeling at the seams -- and has been doing so for more than a year.

Purchased a kitchen table and office furniture (2 desks, one with a hutch). Ashley Furniture has no problem taking your money for a warranty. When you call to get scratches fixed, etc. they don't cover items that aren't just one scratch. Scratches over time aren't covered (and have to be reported within 5 days). But they don't tell you this before the sale and after they have taken your money. However, the salesperson (Indian girl) will lie to your face about what the warranty covers - to get the sale.
Corporate, the store (in Frisco, TX), and the warranty company ping pong you back and forth between each. But no one really wants to help. They got what they wanted, your money. Glad they will never see a dime from me again! Too bad they focus on the one-time screw job versus a relationship with lots of repeat business. Great business model, Ashley Furniture. Can't wait until you go out of business. The Asst. Manager, Ashley **, doesn't care and really can't wait to get off the phone without solving the problem. Screw job, through and through!!!!

We went to the local store on a very busy Saturday. Picked out what would be our first new furniture purchase in a long time. The sales person was helpful but overwhelmed. All the paperwork complete we were given a delivery date and time. The night before our merchandise was to be delivered we got an automated call at 6:55 pm. Telling us that we would not get delivery until the following day. I had scheduled to take the day off in advance so I could be there for the delivery. Now I had I take two days off of work. At a considerable cost.
Did I mention what I do for a living?? Deliver furniture and appliances. And I have been since 1996. I know all the tips and tricks that ALL delivery companies try to pull. When I finally got someone on the phone that had two brain cells, I explained to him that I had to take two days off work and how much it is going to cost me to do so. I got the song and dance. My response as should be any response when a late delivery occurs. "Do you want your payments on time? Then get my furniture to me when you said you were."
That part of the bargain was never upheld. So here I set 2 days off of work at a cost of over 750 dollars. And all I get is "Sorry"?? I know you are sorry, now apologize. Long story short. Do your research. And the best advice I can give anyone reading this is: If you know anyone like me that is in the business call them to see how deliveries are meant to be made. That way you have a leg up on what to expect. And don't be a victim.

My son's bed rail broke and they won't even replace a railing on it. The furniture is not made well at all. I bought the extended warranty. They will not honor it at all. They are rude and will not honor contractual agreements.

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

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

I was having a mattress delivered. I was alone and in a two story. A truck with 2 men and another vehicle with 2 or 3 men came to my door. Two of us went upstairs to show them where to deliver mattress. After they left I saw my purse had been moved and my wallet was hanging out of my purse. Luckily I did not have my cards in there and no cash. Still I felt violated. I made a call to Ashley furniture, was told someone would call me back. No one did. I called again, was told the same thing. I sent an email to the company with no reply. I actually called the third time. I never got an apology or a call back. I did make a police report and even the police department could not believe that someone never called me back. SO BE AWARE..... watch the delivery guys. Probably better just to shop somewhere else.
Today I had a refrigerator delivered with from Lowe's and 5 minutes after the delivery, I was called and completed a survey. They said if I gave anything under a 5 on any question, they would call me back within the hour. I gave only 5's but wow... I was impressed. Especially when Ashley Furniture didn't even call me back when someone had tried to steal from me. I tell everyone I come across. I go to a very big church and people there say they will never shop there. I would fear for them if they did.

Additionally the pick up facility was dirty, the people were very rude, and the wait time was about 2 hours. It was completely ridiculous and I will never shop with them again.

I purchased a furniture set from Ashley Homestore over 10 years ago and it lasted very well through 1 dog and 3 children. So when It came time to upgrade our furniture I chose to go back to Ashley thinking I would get the same quality product. I was sadly mistaken. I went there in search for microfiber sofa and recliner similar to what I had in the past, because it withstood dog hair from poking through the fabric. I purchased the Eli sofa recliner and 2 matching recliners. Within 3 weeks the fabric began to show signs of wear on the corners of the recliner. During week 6, while my dog was chewing on a chew toy, I noticed a small tear in the fabric of the sofa. The rough end of the chew toy had torn the fabric in three different places. So I pulled out the protection plan I paid extra for to find it would not cover the damages made by the dog's toy. I then purchased a sofa cover to protect the sofa from more damages. However as days went on, the tears continued to split even under the protection of the cover.
I have had the couch less than 6 months, the batting underneath the paper thin microfiber material began to loosen exposing the foam cushion and the sofa is more or less ruined. I had to purchase a new couch last week, because the other became a chore to maintain. Needless to say I didn't go to Ashley furniture homestore!

I purchased a whole dinning room set with 4 additional chairs. The Sales woman with a strong Russian accent pressured my husband and myself the whole time we were there. I finally purchased a table/cabinet and 8 chairs separately (of course the sales associate was happy because it was more money). Then we applied for a credit card and she said my limit was $10,000 and then proceeded to tell me we need to look at a new bedroom set, which we did not come in for and felt so uncomfortable that she tried to get MORE money out of us. It was delivered to our new home, which we were not living in, and now just moved in a month later and noticed that there are chips on the table and chair. Customer Service will do NOTHING for us.

Before the arrival of our new baby, I wanted to replace our living room furniture and made the mistake of choosing Ashley furniture. I made the purchase and less than a year had passed before I needed to schedule a repair for our new furniture. Good thing I was gullible enough to purchase the protection plan to the tune of about 500 dollars. Well after the technician came out and took the time to explain the "craftsmanship" behind the fine products they sell at Ashley. The popping sound our 6 month old couch was making became worse. So I placed a call to the Company responsible for handling claims thru our protection plan. They sent someone out who stated that the popping was caused by a lack of lubricant on the springs of our couch and it was an easy fix. He also stated that the already completely compressed and flattened sofa cushions were the only grade of foam avail. "Maybe I could find an upholstery shop to beef up the cushions." However, he was gracious enough to order us a replacement set of cushions.
This company is selling CRAP!!!! They are also swindling people out of hundreds of dollars to purchase protection plans that "cover everything". This company needs to be held accountable for the products that are selling. They should be made to deliver the same quality products they display in their stores, to their customers homes.

Let me help anyone out that is thinking of purchasing furniture from Ashley Furniture. First and foremost, don't. Secondly, if you absolutely think you must, make sure that your sales associate doesn't screw you like ours did. We purchased a couch, love seat and recliner from them retailing $2300. Paid $279 "insurance" through Montage Protection Plan. The couch is one and a half years old and the frame supporting the back of the couch broke. We hardly ever even sit on our couch. Filed a claim with what they call "insurance" company, aka Montage Protection. They decided they wanted to replace our couch instead of pay for the piece of wood that would fix it, but conveniently for them, our couch has been discontinued since we bought it in Dec 2012. Now they are not wiling to replace our set so we are forced to buy something that does not match our other furniture that isn't even 2 years old.
First mistake, our sales associate did not offer us insurance on our full set of furniture which is very misleading because that is how we were sold the furniture. Our associate also did not explain to us that there were even different kinds of insurance such as single item, set, upholstery, etc. (I found this out later when I called insurance company and I was informed that they would not replace the set because we only purchased insurance on the couch and not the love seat and chair). We were made to believe we were purchasing insurance on our set as his way of selling it to us was me asking what it covered and him stating, "If you drove away today, didn't tie it down good and all three pieces fell out on the highway and broke, we would replace all of it!" Because after all, what idiot would pay insurance amounting to 40% of the total cost of one single item?!!?
But in our situation, we have two choices according to the company, both of which are crappy and do not leave a customer satisfied by ANY means. Our choices are: 1) to accept a cash settlement of $300 (basically the insurance money we paid for nothing) and keep our broken couch or 2) accept store credit in the amount of the couch ($764) and buy a new couch that doesn't match our remaining set. Neither of these sound like very good customer service to me considering that the furniture is not even two years old. I would just like to have matching furniture that I worked so hard to be able to afford and for you to stand by your product.
My advice to every customer that purchases furniture from Ashley's is to make sure you know what you are buying and that the "insurance" they sell is a joke and the furniture they make is not as quality as they exclaim. If you cannot make furniture that will last longer than 2 years, you shouldn't be in the furniture making business.

Have you ever felt discriminated by a salesman or anybody who thought that he was better than you because you are a woman? How about being treated like a second class citizen because you are not **? Well, this is how Karry, the owner and store manager of Ashley's Furniture Calgary Heritage HomeStore treated me this afternoon! My husband and I decided to buy a sectional for our basement. We are quite excited about this purchase as we are normally savers and not spenders. We previously had pleasant dealings with Ashley's three years ago and were hoping for a repeat experience.
The day went on smoothly as we perused and zeroed in on the sectional we wanted to purchase. As they were having a storewide sale that day, we asked if we could get a bigger discount than the one that was advertised. Our salesman informed us that he unfortunately couldn't give us lower prices. He, however, could ask his manager if he could do something for us.
Karry, Ashley's Calgary Heritage Homestore manager, came in already curt with the salesman - continually interrupting him and questioning his price calculation. He gave us a lower price and argued that is so much more than the 25% off that was advertised. Karry then proceeded to interrupt me as I was questioning his math on the percentage off. Karry asked my husband, "CAN YOUR WIFE UNDERSTAND THIS?" I informed him that I have a master's degree. I can obviously understand basic math.
This is very offensive! Why did he not talk to me directly? Does he prefer to deal with his kind? Does he think that I cannot understand him because I am a woman or because I am not ** like my husband? I told my husband that we are going home and not purchasing anything from him. Karry felt the need to shout at me and my family of how he was so happy to have met us. I said, I unfortunately cannot say the same to him. My husband, son and I stood up from the couch and walked towards the store doors. Karry felt the need to follow us and shout at me again saying a person with a masters should be able to understand basic math! I asked him what his name was, he said he is Karry, he is the store manager and he owns the store and then told me to never visit his store again!
After you have read this, you might think I am angry and you are right! I am angry! I am angry that someone felt that need to make me feel ashamed of my gender, ashamed of my color and made me feel simple. Karry's attitude infuriates me. I do not feel that it should be tolerated in any circumstance. I, of course, do not plan to go back to his store again; and I urge others to take a stand against any and all kinds of discrimination.

Within a couple month, had issues with the back of one of the recliners breaking (due to the poor quality). The left arm was also wiggling and the second identical recliner's cushion had "went out". We made numerous calls to the store in Burlington, WA (where we purchased the furniture from) only to be told to call this 800 number to call in a warranty request. Apparently these guys are out of Texas and have a reputation for not returning calls.
When we couldn't get a call back or answers on the furniture getting repaired, we finally drove down to Burlington (70 miles away) to get mad at management. They reassured me that they would call and email customer care. Customer Care finally called us back 3 days later and scheduled a technician to come out on the 4th of July (very convenient huh?). Two week later, he showed up to look at the furniture and told us he has to order parts and would reschedule another appointment to come back. It is August 8th now and I have not heard a word from Ashley's customer care department. I called and waiting on hold for 20 minutes, only to find out that nothing had been done and they were not sure if they were able to repair the first recliner because it was a floor model. She went ahead and ordered the parts for the second recliner and "they should be SHIPPED in 2-3 weeks!" When I receive the parts in the mail, I can call them back to schedule another technician.
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THEIR JOB FOR THEM?? Why was my work order just sitting for 5 weeks??

Don't waste your money here. Yes, Ashley Furniture has cheap furniture that looks good - but the furniture won't last and the customer service is absolutely terrible. I've never felt more abused and stonewalled in my life. My experience with Ashley Furniture has made Comcast customer service feel like I'm on the phone with Zappos. I've been lied to, I've been called a liar, and I've been downright insulted.
My wife and I purchased a table from Ashley Furniture that clearly has a manufacturer defect, yet Ashley Furniture refuses to honor the manufacturer warranty - even though we are inside the warranty period. In fact, they refuse to even look at it. The top finish applied to our table looks like the cheap laminate covers you would put on a text book as a kid - and the finish is now peeling, chipping, bubbling and beveling - even though, my wife and I have barely have used the table and kept it covered for almost entire time that we've had it.
Now, my wife and I are getting the run around from their customer service employees, who have done everything from tell my wife and I that we abused the table (is barely using a table abuse?), that we must have put a glass down on the table and caused water damage (how is this plausible theory if the damage is everywhere?) and that we caused the scratches (despite the scratches not truly being scratches but being beveling in the finish). Overall, if you don't want to feel abused and treated like dirt, don't do business with Ashley Furniture. After you've written them a check, you should expect them to not to honor any agreements or manufacturer warranties (unless you sue them). And you really shouldn't expect to be treated with any dignity or respect.

I bought furniture and warranty from Ashley's furniture. The warranty is just a rip off, they don't do **, won't cover damage that they say they would. The furniture is crap and the staff. I have a microfiber sofas and they feel like crap. They are rough and just gross feeling and does not feel like microfiber at all. The coffee table is crap too. I had a service guy come look at the furniture and he even said that Ashley Furniture doesn't finish their furniture probably. And what is happening to my couches he has never seen before. So basically it's a faulty couch because no microfiber should do that, right? So I got extra warranty for nothing. And when I bought them they said they cover stuff that is wrong with my furniture but they lied.
I paid for delivery and they only did it one day. WTF. I had to fight with them to deliver it so we had something to sit on. And when they came to deliver it, they scratched my wall in my brand new house that was just built and on top of it drove over sidewalk to the house and cracked it. I was so pissed with everything I just left it because I didn't wanna ** again, but now they won't fix anything when I have warranty for it. I am so pissed and would never go there again or recommend it to anyone. If you go there, you should just burn your money because that's what you doing there.

I did not make my purchase from Ashley Furniture directly. I bought it from a huge store in Colorado Springs which sells their furniture (and other brands). I am writing this review regarding a type of pressed wood product used in some Ashley furniture known as OSB, Oriented Strand Board. It has been known to make people ill and cause allergic reactions from toxic off-gassing from higher than normal levels of formaldehyde. If you purchase furniture from Ashley and it has a smell that bothers you then I suggest you take it back immediately before it starts to build up in your home and makes you ill as it is making me.
I'm writing this as I sit outside, the sofa inside with front windows next to the sofa open and I have four fans running in an attempt to air out my house. I have also attempted to vaguely seal off the rest of the home from the living room. We are in the process of attempting to return it under what the stores states as a "We Honor A One Year Manufacture Warranty" policy. I wish I could write more regarding this but I really don't know what else to say other than BUYER BEWARE and research before you buy and if you think it stinks but somebody else does not smell it - DON'T HESITATE - return it before you get sick.

One of my dining room table's leg broke. When I went to the store in Queens, NY I explained to the salesperson what happened and I asked if it was possible to buy only that piece, he said yes. What he failed to explained is that the part only included the pedestal but not the actual legs! I ordered the replacement part and when I got the delivery 3 weeks later I found out that this problem. I refused the delivery but the store won't refund my money because according to them I bought the part without actually seeing what I was getting! I feel that the salesman did not understood what I need it or he was not knowledgeable of what he was selling. They should be trained more efficiently.

I'm not going to describe the whole story... that's just too much, and I don't want to spend that much more time on a business that doesn't seem to want to improve and that doesn't deserve not even a constructive criticism. But I'm writing this for the consumers that are still about to encounter this. Don't talk to an Ashley technician without recording the conversation, without recording what they do (and don't do) to your furniture while analyzing the damage and while trying to fix it. Otherwise there's a good chance that you'll really be surprised about the disparity between what they tell you and what they do and what ends up in their reports.
We have a table, bought some two months ago. It had some damage to it that we considered minor and didn't complain about it. (It turns out that Ashley is holding this against us now, so don't do this - complain right away about every even so minor scratch and make them send a technician. You'll see why.) About a month after we got it, a not so minor defect started to manifest itself: a small bubble formed in the surface, with a small opening, about two inches long. We called customer service and they sent a technician.
The first thing she said after taking a look at it was "this is from a staple underneath" - and sure enough, there was a staple (from the packaging) and apparently it pressed ever so slightly against the veneer and made it stand up and create a bubble after a month. She also said that they do this all the time; it seems to be a common problem. She wanted to try to fix it, but considering the other defects (that we swallowed initially) we thought we'd like to get a new table top. So she took a few photos and said she'd file a report. So she did; I tell you below what they told me that was in it.
She also said that we'd be contacted by customer service - which never happened. So we called them (not a pleasant experience, what with the hours on the phone). They said no dice... they'd only fix that staple damage (note that they said "staple damage"; this will become important later), not exchange the table top. We tried to talk to the store, but they don't care nor seem to be able to do much about it; once they sold you their loot, you're on your own against Ashley customer "disservice".
So we marked a second technician visit. He didn't seem to know much about our conversation with the first technician, but he also targeted the staple right away. Since we knew that him trying to fix this was the most we could get from Ashley, we let him try. He took out the staple, but couldn't flatten the veneer bubble on top. He said he couldn't fix it, took some more photos, told us (again) we'd hear from customer service and left.
Of course we didn't hear from customer service - again. After almost two weeks, I called them. And here now comes the thing: they told me that neither of the two reports said anything about a staple, and the second report claims that this was water damage caused by us. This after the second technician took out the staple right in front of our eyes. I don't know who was bending reality; it could be the technicians filing crooked reports, it could be someone "editing" the reports before or after they enter the system, it could be the customer "disservice" people. Since I only know what happened here and then what they told me what is in the reports, I can't tell where the disconnect with reality happened - but somewhere in the process, connection with reality got lost.
The customer service rep also told me that the second technician mentioned in his report that there were damages to the surface (according to him caused by us) and that because of this any warranty would be void anyway. I don't know where they got this from... the only damages are the two that were in the table top when we got it and that we considered minor and not worth the hassle of contacting Ashley customer service. Don't do this, complain about everything right away, make them recognize it, make them send a technician to analyze it or you may later hear that a damage caused by them voids your warranty.
Conclusion: don't let an Ashley technician into your home touching or analyzing anything without recording everything she/he says and does, or else you may be surprised what ends up being in the report that will be the basis of their decision whether or not to honor their warranty claims. (You may be surprised anyway, but then you at least have proof.) I have better things to do with my time than to go after Ashley to get a table top replaced, but for all of you who still have their guys coming into your homes: record it; it may come handy. I'd really like to be able to post on YouTube a record of the two technicians talking about the staple, the second one taking the staple out and trying to flatten the surface, and then the customer service rep on the phone telling me what supposedly was written in the two reports. It would be hilarious. I hope someone else can do this. In any case, good luck - you'll need it.

I never recommend Ashley to anyone in my life. The store will sell different prices to different customers. I have ordered more 10K furniture for my new home and I got damaged recliner. They sent a technician to verify it. He came and just took some pictures and said like he will report the same, not sure why technician only can take photos. If they would have asked the same I would have done that. After 2 weeks they called and scheduled time to replace it and delivery guy came and he said like he is only here to pick up but not replacing.
I am lost at this time not sure what the store is reporting and not sure what customer service team is giving to deliveries. Finally I am the one who is struggling with all this mess. Unfortunately I took 5 year warranty and not sure how much more I have to struggle with this non-sense company after spending so much money. Please try for some other alternate instead of going here.

Where do I start. I went int to Ashley's Furniture store in Dundalk, MD and saw a beautiful Sofa and Loveseat so my husband and I decided we wanted it. At that time, we were getting our home refinanced so we decided we didn't any credit checks so we went through RAC right there in the store. It was a very good experience. Then we were told we wouldn't get our furniture until 6 to 8 weeks. We were ok with that because we needed to paint our family room and get it ready for the furniture. We finally got our furniture 8 weeks to be exact later. We were so happy to get it.
After about 3 1/2 weeks, we noticed that it was buckling in the middle and a buildup was right up the center of the recliners. We called Ashley's. They said they were going to send a technician out and they did. He came out and said we needed new foam to go into the cushions so Ashley's ordered the foam. It came to our home 1 1/2 weeks later. Another Technician came out and he said, "This is wrong. You didn't need foam." Then Ashley's arranged to have the furniture come to their warehouse so that someone there could look at it. We received a call saying they knew what the problem was and they were going to fix it. 2 weeks later we got another call saying they had ordered the wrong piece and would have the other (correct) piece in a few days.
We waited another week and they said it was fixed and set up a delivery. When we inspected it there were still some buckling and on one part there were dents in the furniture - they took it back. 1 week later, we got a call it was fixed so they delivered and from what we could see from the naked eye it looked good and that was 7-19-14. We have been sitting on it and guess what - it is starting to buckle again. They have the couch since 7-19-14. We have not heard a word from them. I have started talking with the people at RAC because I am still making payments and have not enjoyed the furniture yet. Well, I am at the place I don't want to wait any longer. I think we have been very patient with you all but Enough is Enough. Please someone contact me.

I am in the military and I purchased a new bedroom set prior to moving. I made the bad assumption that Ashley Furniture would deliver me furniture that could actually be assembled. Upon arriving at my new base, I unboxed the furniture and attempted to attach the footboard to its posts. Unfortunately, the headboard and the posts were drilled wrong; preventing hardware from being attached. Now both the store and the extra insurance I purchased on the furniture are of no use getting this problem fixed even though the sales rep who sold me the furniture said if there was a problem I could be assisted regardless of my move. Overall, I am very disappointed in the manner Ashley Furniture is handling their business.

I purchased 3 beds with mattresses over the phone for a home I rent out in Lubbock, Texas. I traveled to Lubbock to be there for the day of delivery.
Bed#1: The box spring and mattress almost completely covered the headboard. It obviously didn't need a box spring so I sent it back on the truck. I hoped for a refund. They said they never give refunds, only credit. I consider this the salesperson's fault but it didn't matter.
Bed #2: I ordered a Full size frame and matching mattress and box spring. The box spring and mattress were full but the headboard and foot board were queen size. I have called 3 times to have the correct size shipped and it has been an ordeal. The rep said she "needed approval".
Bed #3: After the delivery guys left (they were very nice I must say), I realized that the twin headboard was not attached to its side rails. I made an appt for them to come back out.
Each phone conversation has been painful. The sales people are really enthusiastic and must be on commission. But the service is really poor. And the no refund policy is terrible.

I want to start by stating that the staff at this location are great; our saleswoman, Laura, was very helpful. However, this review is about the delivery process and the corporation as a whole. My husband and I ordered furniture for our new home (whole bedroom set and living room set) about 2-3 weeks before moving in. My late grandfather gave me his couch that was ordered by Ashley a year ago, so we wanted to buy the matching set. We moved in on June 15, and we were guaranteed delivery by July 9. We would have hoped for sooner delivery, but we understood that it had to be ordered.
On July 5, we were told that the headboard for our bed was backordered, so it wasn't ready, and the entire order couldn't be delivered until 7/16. We were discouraged, but agreed. On 7/12, we were told the headboard still was not ready, and they needed to delay it another week. We were upset and my husband advised the worker that he wanted the rest of the furniture to be delivered on 7/16 then. The furniture came, but they did not bring the bed AT ALL, just the mattress rolled up in a bag (it was Tempur-pedic).
I was at work when they delivered the furniture, so my husband was home and he immediately called the 800 number and complained. They guaranteed us the whole bed by the next day, 7/17. So my husband waits all day on 7/17 and the furniture doesn't come. He calls them again and they advised my husband that the bed was sitting in their warehouse, but there was no more trucks to deliver it (mind you, we live maybe 15-20 min from the warehouse). Finally they promised us (after my husband screamed at them) $200 credit and the bed the next day. The next day the bed finally came, but if it wasn't for my late grandfather promising me this couch on his death bed, I would have never ordered from here. Complete waste of time and energy, and the furniture was extremely overpriced!

About 6 weeks ago, I accepted delivery of my bedroom set - black, which I purchased from Ashley Furniture in Danbury, CT. The set looked really good in the store and I was excited to get it. It took about three weeks to be delivered. When the furniture was delivered, I noticed that the dresser back was coming loose and part of it was chipped where the screw went in. Several of the screws had come out of the backboard and it was lifting off. I also notice that the dresser top was disfigured (lack of a better word) where the Styrofoam had rested on it when it was boxed up for delivery. The pain on the night stand was blotchy which I did not notice upon delivery. I called the Customer Support number and talked to a really nasty man. I decided to contact the store directly and they told me that if I accepted the furniture they would send someone out to address my issues.
I blame myself for accepting this furniture because my nephew is a furniture delivery man and he told me everything to look out for. He told me not to leave the room when the furniture is delivered and to inspect every piece of furniture. He told me not to let the delivery guy try to put nails in the back of the furniture because it would be nails they found in the bed of the truck. He told me if the delivery guy asked for water to give it to him after the furniture was set up and I has accepted it because that is the time they use to cover over any defect in the furniture with a marker they carry. Would you believe the delivery guy asked for water after I started to point out the issues with the furniture and the paint discoloration?
Anyway, about two weeks after the furniture delivery, a gentleman did come out to inspect the furniture and address my issues. He put nails in the backboard of the dresser and used some stinky stuff to address the paint issue on the dresser and the night table. He told me before I agreed to him using the spray that the smell would last 15-20 minutes and if I sprayed Febreze the smell would leave even faster. The smell was so toxic that I opened the windows and used up a can of Febreze. Needless to say, the smell lingered for about 3 1/2 hours and traveled throughout the rest of the house. My daughter started to sneeze non-stop. My point is, this is new furniture. I don't think I should have to go through all of this with new furniture. I waited a long time to purchase new bedroom furniture and I am so disappointed. I really wish that I had read the reviews about Ashley Furniture. I will never purchase furniture from them again.

In June of 2014, we decided to clean our carpets so we had to move the furniture. When we moved my dresser w/ mirror, two of the feet came off of the dresser. I called Ashley about have the furniture repaired as it was still under warranty and I was denied. When I asked why, I was told that if you move the furniture, it voids the warranty. Admittedly, I did not read the warranty upon purchase but I assume (my mistake) that moving the furniture would not void the warranty as I assume (again, my mistake) that furniture is made solidly enough to move furniture so you can clean behind it and what not.
Apparently, Ashley does not seem to think that their furniture can stand up to the REAL wear & tear of daily life. I have called several times to speak with someone and I either do not get answer or I do not get a call back or I get the party line. In this day and age, I am flabbergasted that a company does not make a suitable piece of furniture that lives up to the wear and tear of housekeeping. Maybe I'm just wrong in assuming people clean behind furniture or clean their carpets or maybe Ashley just doesn't make a quality piece of furniture. In comparison, I have a 26-year-old day bed that I took to college and it is still fully functional and in fabulous condition!

I end up denying the furniture and come to find out that they do not accept returns. And if they do, under certain circumstances, they charge a 30% restocking fee and then only give you store credit for the remainder of what they owe you. They ordered me new furniture and lo and behold, it was delivered in 2 more weeks, so that makes a total of 10 WEEKS for delivery of the furniture. The new set was in good condition so I accepted it.

I purchased a couch and accent chair in April, 2013. In June of 2014, while sitting in the chair, the left side broke and I sank to the floor. After several attempts to speak to the store owner where I purchased it, and getting no satisfaction, I spoke to the 1-800 number on the Warranty brochure, which was the Corporate office. I was basically shuffled back to the store. After flipping the chair over, I discovered a flaw in the rear support which had been stapled into the side piece of the chair (which is made of particle board). This piece had a flaw or knot in the wood right where it joined the side. This rear support piece has all the springs attached to it which are always in constant tension. It was noticed, I am sure, when assembled, as it had another block of wood stapled onto it. I have asked for a replacement chair from the store where I purchased it - Rooms To Go, Penticton, BC Canada - and have been told I won't get one - and if I wanted something made of better quality, I should have paid more and bought a different brand. Not the same sales pitch they used at the time of my purchase.
My last set of furniture lasted 28 years. I look after what I purchase - I am not made of money! After listening to Ashley's Corporate office voice mail blurb - how they are proud of their furniture and their customer service - I am disappointed to report that I was told I am on my own - that my husband is now re-assembling the chair with real wood and wood glue, attempting to stretch springs and re-attach them, and disappointed that my purchase that I hoped to use for years to come are now falling apart before my eyes after 15 months of minimal use. Prove to me that you believe what you say, Ashley, and stand behind your product! Will definitely not recommend Ashley furniture after seeing how they are made!

I purchased a children's bedroom suite from Ashley Furniture through Rent A Center Acceptance back in October. Starting in January of this year, I started having issues with the finish on the furniture. I contacted the store about it and they sent a repair technician to fix it. The repair technician painted the damaged area off white instead of white. I contacted them about it and no action was taken. About another month later, more paint began to peel off of other pieces of furniture.
Once again, I contacted them again and they sent another repair who ordered new drawers. Upon receiving the new drawers, I opened them and noticed that the drawer front was not the same thickness as the originals. My daughter then points out to me where the bed support has began cracking under the ladder. I then went and spoke with the GM at the store and he just sends another repair guy out who didn't acknowledge any of my complaints. All he points out is that it was some crayon on the furniture and leaves.
I then later spoke with the GM again and he states that the furniture has been abused and denies to do anything else to the furniture. The crayon wasn't on any of the surfaces that the paint had peeled off of. I made a claim to the BBB and the GM denied me ever reporting anything about the cracked support. About another month goes by and more paint has came off and the support has cracked even more. I go into the store and they send out more repairmen. They inspected and took pictures of the furniture.
One of the guys even tried to spray paint it but the furniture wouldn't take the paint. The replacement drawers that was put back into the boxes they came in looked like the original drawers. I disassembled the bed prior the repair guys coming out and noticed that another part of the support had also began to separate, and the edge banding on the front had bubbled. I contacted them and told them to come remove the furniture due to the supports being cracked and they refused due to the contract. But, a few weeks ago I received a letter in the mail saying my contract had expired and to make arrangements to have the furniture picked up. I once again contacted them and they said that they couldn't pick up my furniture due to the condition.

I bought 2 sets of sofas and love seat from them costing more than $7500. They recommended peace of mind insurance policy for $300 valid for 5 years. Since it made sense, I took it. After a year, in one of the sets, all the 5 seats the cushion almost became flat. Call the claim and they came and inspected it. The person who visited us said they are getting lot of complaints in this model for the same problem. After he left, received a mail from them saying the claim is denied because the furniture is not broken and the policy does not cover "loss of resiliency". Ashley says they only sell the policy and they have got nothing to do with them. Never ever I will step inside "ASHLEY FURNITURE".

We moved to VA and I bought $5000 of living room furniture from Ashley furniture store in Alexandria. The center table had a really long wait time so I got all the other furniture delivered and agreed to pick up the center table. Once it is available I went to pick it up and the STORE MANAGER had to find the item as delivery staff was not available. We were at the back of the store and once he found the box he brought it near the ramp and helped my father and brother to load it to the minivan. The ramp was 4ft tall and a lady who was standing there gave me two papers to sign. I signed the papers and took the box and went home.
When we went home I opened the box inside the car to take the pieces inside to find that the table frame was cracked and broken. So I called the store immediately to inform that and they asked me to call the head office. When I called the head office they told me that I signed a paper stating that I inspected furniture to ensure it is not broken. I said I didn't know I signed that. I thought I signed to accept the goods. Well they said they are not going to do anything because it is my fault that I didn't read the papers I signed. I also bought the protection plan for the furniture so I thought it could help me to fix it, to find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is covered in the protection plan. There is a fine print for all sort of exclusions for types of damage in the protection plan. Bottom line is I have a broken center table that I paid $400.

We bought a king size bed, two nightstands and a mattress. We asked the salesman if we could have them delivered on the 7/12/14, because we were remodeling and needed the time to get the room finished. He said "No problem" [turns out it was a problem since they don't do weekend deliveries]. Later was contacted by delivery and notified it would come on 7/10/14. I told them we would not be ready and could we change that. They said changing would not be possible. This meant my husband was up till 2am for three nights trying to get the remodel finished on time [he has to get up at 5:30 to go to work]. We got it ready.
The furniture showed up on the 10th, but the bed was defective [no way to attach side rails to head and foot board]. The delivery guy called customer service who informed me it would be at least 4 to 5 days before the new rails could be sent out. When I objected she responded with, "The new bed rails won't be there for at least 3-4 days, so you can either deal with that, or send it back. That's how it is!" So I sent it ALL back. I refused to keep any of it. And we got our money back. Later found out that the salesman KNEW it a delivery on the 12th would not be possible, but he thought if it came early that we would just "Deal with it". I live in NC, the heart of the furniture business in America. There is a furniture store on almost every block in Hickory NC [20 minutes say]. I don't have to take crap from one supplier. At least THAT business has not been monopolized to the point that consumers have no choice. And consumers SHOULD NOT choose Ashley.

In October 2009, I purchased over $6,000 worth of new furniture from the Ashley store in Amherst, NY. The sales manager, **, sold me on the 5 year protection plan on the sectional couch and recliner. He said "if anything goes wrong in the next 5 years, just call up this number, give them your customer code, and they'll fix anything for you." I never received any terms and conditions or was led to believe the protection plan didn't cover certain damages. I also wasn't told that I had to report damages within a certain time period. I filed a claim with the 3rd party warranty company, Montage, who quickly denied my claim saying the damage done wasn't covered under the protection policy and the claim wasn't submitted within 30 days. None of the paperwork I was given at the time of sale indicated anything along those lines.
On July 2nd, I called Montage and told them this and they directed me to call the store I did the transaction with because they were to provide me the terms at the time of sale. I called and spoke with the current manager at the Ashley store, James, and he was very apologetic and said that he would get this matter escalated to his regional manager and I would get a call back the next day.
I received a call on July 3rd from Margie. She said she was from the corporate offices in Rochester, NY. I again explained my concern that I was never given any terms on the coverage policy and she said she would call Montage and review with them. A few hours later, she called back saying there was nothing that could be done. She said the manufacture stopped making the product in 2011. She wouldn't offer me any other alternative for support or help. My biggest issue is that no one at Ashley or Montage is taking ownership of the fact that I was never given the full terms and conditions at the point of sale, nor was I told the protection plan had limitations on it. I was sold a "5 year full protection plan" which turns out is nowhere close to what I actually am entitled to.

After demanding some kind of compensation for my troubles, I was offered a $100 gift card, although I would never, ever return to Ashley Furniture.

I purchased three leather reclining sofas for $5900. The sofas I got are defective, and extremely uncomfortable to sit on. In fact my family and I can't sit on them for more than 10 minutes. My back and neck hurts so much because there is no lumbar support on the back. The seat sinks in and feels like I'M in a deep hole. I tried to return them one day after delivery and the sales manager and supervisor were completely hostile towards me. The salesman and sales manager had falsely advertised about the sales terms.
Before purchasing the furniture, I had asked that if there was anything wrong with the furniture if it would be possible to return it, and they said absolutely. The sales manager said you could cancel the order and you would receive a full refund; however that turned out to be false. My disappointment is profound with this horrible furniture, making me regret ever purchasing from this establishment. I've never previously had a problem with furniture retailers before, and I am utterly outraged at the loss of my hard earned money and that I'M currently marooned with this useless, shoddy, and rather expensive pieces of furniture.
Your establishment DID not honor their apparently guaranteed sales terms and conditions. Ashley's furniture sales representatives lie to their customers about the products that they offer for sale. They do not permit you to read the fine print that lies in the terms, hindering me from possibly rethinking my decision. Their constant deterrence from reading the documents concerning my purchase seemed suspicious to me, as if there was something hidden from my knowledge.
I asked the sales representative, an older gentlemen known by the name of Simon, what am I signing? He simply replied, this is only saying that your order will be delivered in two weeks. He failed to mention to me that the furniture would be a final sale, with no return allowed after delivery, even with my receipt of purchase clearly stating that I could receive a full refund as long as the furniture in question was not damaged or a closeout, and was returned within 15 business days after delivery. This deeply troubles me, as I usually would expect honest promises from such a well known furniture retailing establishment. It was a lackluster experience with inadequate customer service and dishonest means of selling. I will most likely refrain from purchasing from any of your establishments ever again.

Each Ashley Furniture HomeStore is independently owned and operated. We have sent the details you provided regarding your issue to the appropriate person(s) at the local store. We encourage you to continue to be proactive and reach out to the local HomeStore where you made your purchase to work out a resolution.
After I wrote this... I am writing to you after my fiance commented to your Facebook wall. I am absolutely furious and concerned about Ashley Furniture. I loved your store and always have. I recommended many friends and family members to your store after my first purchase (which was this couch). When my fiance and I first moved in together, we went to this store and had such a great sales experience with Cindy. She sold the warranty for our couch to us and we ended up spending $1300+. I called the warranty company right away when I noticed that our sectional couch started to peel. The top layer of the vinyl started to crack and now is having tiny layers coming off. It is not ripped or scratched, it is almost like the material dried out or something. We have always took great care of our couch and I called as soon as I noticed it.
A few days later, the warranty person came out (on May 23). He did not ask any questions or talk to us. He took pictures of the couch and went on his way. A week then went by and we still did not hear from anyone about the visit results. I then got the phone number from the store we bought the couch from and when I reached a warranty consultant all she did was ask for the phone number and had me confirm the furniture I was asking about. Then her response was, "This is a rejection due to accumulation". I had no idea what she was talking about and told her that I didn't know what that meant. She said, "You have a lot going on with your couch". She then told me that because it was a "big" area on our couch, they were not going to fix it and our couch was not covered.
I gave her my concerns because I called them for them to come out IMMEDIATELY (as soon as I saw it) and then a week goes by and they didn't attempt to contact me. I asked her if I could speak to a supervisor, and she took my phone number because the warranty is under my fiance's and told me that the supervisor would review it and call me back. I didn't hear from them for a few days so I asked for a manager and Mary Rose said that she would take care of it for me.
It's now been about 2 weeks and I have been trying to get a hold of her or another manager since and the associates just tell me that someone will call me back. I then was beyond frustrated the other day and then again, called the oxford valley store again. The sales associate said that she could not do anything and said she would transfer me to the services dept. I then explained to her that I am not getting any help whenever I am transferred to them. She then told me that she will contact them and have them call me back. I tried a few more times trying to get through to someone at the warranty dept and I am not receiving any help! I have worked customer service for numerous years and I have the utmost respect for any services employee, but I need help. It has been a month since I brought up the issue to the warranty company and my couch is getting worse.
I purchased the warranty with the confidence that my favorite furniture store would deliver the previous customer service that I was given before. I have another piece of furniture that has a warranty on it and would hate to have to refund my warranty to discontinue my loyalty to Ashley Furniture. Please help and fix my couch. I am personally a graduate student who is living on loans and I cannot afford to replace this couch myself. This is why we bought the warranty to ensure our furniture would last and be protected in the coming years. Please contact me at my given phone number. I'm trusting you Ashley Furniture!! Thank you.

Before you purchase furniture, be sure to read the fine print. We purchased a 100% leather sectional for around $4K, it had a defect which they had repaired before it was delivered. We noticed after they delivered. When you call, if you sign, you cannot return the furniture, so be sure to inspect your furniture, if you do order, before the delivery drivers leave your home. The back of the couch, the staples were coming out and the arm does not connect to the body of the chair. I was told by the upholsterer that is how the couch is made, but the other side of the sectional does not have gapping.
We have had a technician/upholsterer come out to do repairs 4 different times. We purchased a bedroom set as well as an entertainment center. The doors of the entertainment center are not even, and the bedroom set also had some damaged pieces. We were told that all furniture has a quality standard which means that defects are acceptable or considered new based on some sort of quality percentage. I think if you are expecting brand new furniture defect free, do not purchase from Ashley. Spend a few extra dollars and get the quality furniture that you deserve.

To say I am displeased and will never buy from Ashley's Furniture is an understatement. Approximately two years ago, I bought a bed frame and bed side table from Ashley's and was happy with the quality of my purchase. Therefore, when I made a big move and needed to buy living room furniture I decided to go back to Ashley's. I purchased a dresser, a couch, two end tables, and an entertainment center. The couch and dresser are great, but the entertainment center leaves a lot to be desired. I went to install the shelving and found two shelves missing and no holes or pegs for the one shelf I was given.
When I called customer service, they said they normally do inspect their products prior to shipping, but I guess that was a lie. Then they said the earliest they could exchange my brand new defective furniture was the following week. A week rolled around, and I waited all day. After calling customer service, I found out that "somehow the exchange didn't get on the morning truck". I now find myself waiting for furniture again. I cannot believe that a large franchise would have such poor-quality, defective products and such awful customer service. There is a reason their furniture is cheaper and next time I will just save up more money and go somewhere else.

These scratches were on the spots of the table that get used the most (4 seatings) because that's my family size. Normal use, too.
Then, I noticed like a "peeling" of the very edges of the whole one side of the table. Then, I noticed that wherever we put our dinner plates, rings from the plates started to appear. They take days to disappear, too. We paid over $1,000.00 for this table and six chairs. I loved the "country charm" it has and the pattern going through the table top. That was one of the biggest reasons I purchased this particular one (and of course, the size). So I guess what I'm trying to say is for what we paid, the table seems to be very low quality. I will never purchase any wooden furniture from Ashley again. Disappointed would be putting it mildly, to say the least. = (

Kitchen Table, Buffet and Sectional - I bought this furniture in Oct. 2013 (now May 2014) and since then, the veneer had started to pop up off the table. The table has been completely replaced. The buffet has had the doors replaced because they warped and the drawers did not easily slide out so they were also worked on. The sectional is now awaiting repair because the mechanism for the recliner is broken and just this am, the pull to extend the recliner on another section broke off. Ashley has been quick to repair everything, but why is this furniture breaking soooo quickly?

I ordered the recliner chair on 04/27/14 and was told the delivery time was 15 or 16 days and I received it on 05/29/14. The salesperson assured me that it was 100% top grain leather in the areas that touched the body. When I received it yesterday it had a tag attached to it that said it was DuraBlend and that it should not be represented as 100% leather. The store manager that I was dealing with was suddenly transferred to another store and claimed that under the foot rest it would say 100% leather. He showed me that on the store model but did not on mine. I am trying to get a 100% refund on the furniture including the delivery fee and the so called warranty. I have gotten no response and was told that the store manager was transferred to another store. I really need someone to help me.

4 years ago, I purchased some furniture for my living room, including a sectional, sofa, ottoman and a chair from the Greenwood Ashely Furniture store totaling $2209.98. It had a nice leather like cover which the sales person said was very very durable and should last me 10 years. Sales person also encouraged and actually pushed me to purchase a 5 year VIP Protection Plan on my furniture that she said would "cover me if anything unexpected should happened down the road." I remember the "anything" part of her pitch which sold me on it being a great value. Well it has been 4 years and the leather like cover on the arms of the chair are pealing off.
There is about a 6 inch square bald spot on the left arm of the chair and a 1 inch square bald spot on right arm of the chair. It looks hideous. I filed a claim with the insurance company and was told that the coverage I purchased does not cover failure of the product or normal wear and tear. It only covers accidental damage to the product, like if I sat on the chair with glue on my arms I guess and caused the damage. I feel like such a fool for purchasing an insurance policy that does not cover normal wear and tear on the furniture. So I guess if the furniture gets hit by lightning it would be covered, but if it suffers from defective materials it is not covered.
By the way, insurance covering defective materials would be great insurance to purchase if it was available, since we can't see inside the product when we purchase it. The manufacturers warranty only covers 1 year on the cover or fabric on the chair. So basically I will need to purchase another chair for $406 plus tax somewhere else (definitely not from Ashley Furniture) that will hopefully match the rest of my furniture. In my opinion, this $219.99 Premium Combination 5-Year Protection Plan insurance coverage is a complete waste of money and anyone considering purchasing from Ashley Furniture should not let themselves be talked into this additional insurance coverage.

I have already written a review but it just disappeared so I will try and make this as short as possible. I purchased an electric recliner chair on 4/1/14 for over $600 and after less than 2 weeks it just died in the recline position. Called customer service and without even investigating they mailed me some parts and was told to call when they came in.
Since Ashley does not have their own service dept, I was told someone from whoever does their service would call me to set up a time to come. Of course no call was ever received. I called back and finally got a time for over a month after my 1st call. STILL WAITING. Bottom line, don't expect any reasonable service from this company.

We previously bought furniture from Ashley and had no problem. However, our last purchase was a dining room set. When delivered, we found that the table had been dropped and was severely damaged in several places. Also, the china cabinet and buffet did not fit together properly, leaving a half inch gap on one side. Ashley replaced the table with another damaged table we had to return. Ashley replaced the china cabinet with another one that was also damaged in several places. When we complained to Ashley, they directed us back to the store manager.
The store manager offered to discount the damaged items but by this time, we wanted to return everything for a refund. The store manager refused and the corporate office would do nothing but send technicians to inspect the furniture and agree that it was damaged and needed to be replaced. The store manager did offer us an exchange, but there was nothing in the store that we wanted. The store manager also offered us a discount to accept the defective items. We are now awaiting delivery of a third replacement china cabinet, but the delivery driver went to the wrong address despite our repeatedly updating our address with the store.
We also looked at some living room furniture, but decided not to buy after noticing that the finish on several pieces of the same furniture on the show room floor did not match. Other items on the show room floor were noted to be poorly made with drawers and other parts that did not fit together properly. We will never buy anything from Ashley again. In fact, we will not buy anything made by Ashley carried by other furniture stores.

I only have 1500 characters, but there is no way I could fit my fiasco in that small amount. Very short version of my story: Ordered a couch and chair beginning of April. Was told it would take 3 weeks. Met with a very nice sales lady. I was so glad because the rest of the salesmen felt like swarming vultures. When I made my decision we went to the back to fill out paperwork and was met by the absolute rudest woman who completely put down the sales person. This made for an extremely awkward and uncomfortable situation, but I let it go. I told my mom and best friend about the sales lady and they both went. My mom bought a new bed and my friend bought a new living room set... You are welcome for the extra business.
They were so happy because my mom got her bed in one week and my friend got hers after two. I called 3 weeks later after never getting a call or hearing from anyone and was told I wouldn't get the furniture until the end of June. Imagine how disappointing, being as it is absolutely ridiculous to wait 3 months to get furniture (and especially having to be the one to seek out the info). I asked to choose a different one. I went in the next day and found a new sofa, where we experienced the horribly rude lady again and witnessed two employees yelling across your showroom about how one disrespected the other... again more awkwardness at Ashley Furniture.
When we were FINALLY done I was told the furniture would be in in 2 weeks... Two weeks would have been last week. Turns out this lovely company was calling my mom to deliver the couch. When my mom, who should not be involved at all, called back they told her that neither of us had deliveries and it was a mistake. I called the next day and found out that it was indeed a call for me but they had been calling the wrong number. I told the woman I spoke with that they had been calling the wrong number and I was originally told my sofa would be delivered the next day, which was Saturday. Ashley only delivers to my area every other Saturday, so it had to be that day or I'd have to wait two weeks. This is completely ridiculous, which I stated to her. She said she'd do a special delivery this Saturday (today), since it was too late at that point to get it delivered on the day I was promised, but I haven't heard from them.
Turns out they've been calling my mom AGAIN, even though they said they had corrected that issue last week. I tried to call them back but their answering machine cuts off after 10 seconds, so it's pretty hard to leave a message. I've tried calling this morning because they say that they open at 9, but that's apparently a lie as well. I have no idea if my couch is coming today, so I guess I'll waste some more of my time on this beautiful Saturday and hope that your company can finally get it together. I have never experienced such a horrible experience and have already begun to spread the word about what a horrible ordeal I've had with this company. I promise you I will never step foot into another Ashley Furniture and will do my best to make sure anyone I know who is looking for furniture will go elsewhere!

We were at Ashley store in Arlington Heights, IL two times. Both times we received the worst customer service one can imagine. 1st time we were there in April to shop for Tempur-Pedic Mattress. Mohammad was helping us. He asked us to file for the credit line without even checking the store inventory. We wasted good TWO hours there in the store and then sales agent Mohammad found out that the mattress we picked is being discontinued and when I asked why he did not know about this beforehand, he had no clue about it. I asked that I want to talk to Store manager, and gentleman Sergio ** kept on saying that he is helping customer and kept on fleeing away from the situation intentionally.
That was Sunday and District Manager Kathy was in that location for manager's meetings. She stepped in, spent good one hour explaining to us the mattresses and their firmness and promised us that once the new line of Tempur-Pedic comes in, which is being expected within two weeks, they will honor the same price as the one we picked previously and it was $2800. So she requested us to wait for two more weeks. I kept on calling for 3-4 weeks and no response and the front desk customer service lady never returned my calls. I was called back again by Muhammad (5/19), that finally the new line was in store and when I went to check it out and once I picked the kind I liked, I was told that they will not honor the price they have promised last month.
Matter of fact when I asked to talk to store manager, I was told that he will never honor this price and he started yelling at us and asked us to leave his store. He got up and yelled, "Leave my store now!" I was shocked at his poor customer service (especially being a manager) and when I asked him to calm down, he did not care at all. And, to make things worse, we had our kids with us and they heard the whole things and were asking why that man was yelling on the way home. They were shaken by the whole event. We requested to speak with Kathy (District Manager) about the situation and now she is not reachable and will not return our phone calls either. We are very disappointed and never experienced poor customer service like this before. I hope somebody takes this very seriously and get back to us letting us know how this was handled.

On July 9, 2012, I purchased a Simmons Beauty Elite Triton mattress from Ashley Furniture HomeStore on Tunnel Rd in Asheville, NC. The product was financed with Wells Fargo (a third party) and I agreed to pay the product off for a period of 2 years. Within 6 months of owning the mattress, it began to sink in the middle and the sides began to buckle. On May 5, 2013, a representative from Ashley came out to inspect the mattress and reported impressions up to 2 and 3/4 inches deep. The product was covered by a manufacturer's warranty.
Ashley Furniture then informed me that their policy was such that I had the option to pick out a new mattress of my choice or replace the old mattress with the same kind. If I were to choose a new mattress, I would be given a store credit. At the end of May in 2013, I went in and picked out a new mattress from the same manufacturer, but a different model. The cost of the original mattress was $940.53. The cost of the new mattress was $1539.94. They gave me a store credit of $703.78 which was apparently the total cost of the defective mattress, minus the box spring (which I kept). They charged me a $75.00 fee to come and pick up the old mattress and deliver the new mattress. The new mattress was delivered to my new residence on 08/09/13.
When I got my first bill for the new mattress, I immediately noticed how high my minimum payment was ($58.20). The agreement that we had come to in the financing department was that my new minimum payment for the new mattress would be around $20.00 a month over a 4-year period. When I saw the $58.20 amount, I reviewed the bill and it was at this time I realized they had given me a credit for the entire cost of the defective mattress, although I hadn't paid off the product. During the visit in which I picked out the new mattress, this was not clearly explained to me. It was my understanding that the amount being credited towards my new purchase was what I had already paid out, not the entire cost of the defective product. So basically, at this point in time, I am now paying off a new balance, along with the residual amount of the old defective product.
A representative from Ashley came and took the old mattress away, so I find it hard to understand why they wouldn't have just credited me for the amount that I had already paid and dissolved the remaining balance since the product was covered under a manufacturer's warranty. I realize now that Ashley is unwilling to take responsibility for their defective items and they are putting the remaining balance on me, the consumer, to take care of. As a consumer, I feel completely taken advantage of. It makes absolutely no sense that they would come and remove an item that was defective from my home and then continue to charge me for the residual amount of the item which is no longer my property.
In March of 2014, my fiancé Adam and I realize that the new mattress that I am in contract to pay $1539.94 is now also beginning to sink in the middle. I called Ashley Furniture to inquire about an inspection and returning the product and getting my money back and the woman on the phone informed me that they don't accept returns. Their policy is that all sales are final. However this is now the second defective item that I have attempted to purchase so their products and policies lack integrity. We have chosen to purchase a bed from a different manufacturer and retailer. These are the most recent accounts of what has happened regarding the second defective mattress:
Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - The mattress was inspected by Ashley Furniture representative.
Friday, April 25, 2014 - A representative called to let us know that there was a warranty defect and that the mattress was eligible for "exchange". We went into the Tunnel Rd location, spoke with the manager Robert and expressed our need to have our money back and that we no longer wished to purchase any products from Ashley Furniture. The manager said that the owner of the store was coming in that day and that he would have him call us before the end of the day. This did not happen.
Saturday, April 26, 2014 - I called Ashley Furniture and spoke with Robert the manager again. I inquired as to why the owner never called us yesterday. He said that he arrived late and would now be calling us on Monday. We asked for a scheduled time for when the defective mattress could be picked up and noted that we were informed of a 30-day time frame in which we had to have this done by (according to them). He said that he would call us back in 5 minutes after speaking with the warehouse. He called back and said that the owner would be in on Monday.
Monday, April 28, 2014 - Adam called Robert the manager at the Tunnel Rd. location, asked to speak with the owner. He said that he would be out at the Airport Rd. location that afternoon and would have him call Adam. Adam never received any call, neither did I. Adam called the manager back before the end of the day to inquire about picking up the mattress and he said that the earliest they could have someone out to pick it up would be on Thursday, May 1, 2014.
Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - Adam called and spoke with Robert the manager to inquire about the time that they would be coming the following day to pick up the mattress since we never received a call confirming the pick-up. It was during this conversation that he informed Adam that the reality of the situation was that they were not going to pick up the defective product until we chose a new item. This was news to us! Apparently, this was a decision made by the owner of the store Mike, the person who never called us back or ever spoke to us about the matter personally. No one was apparently going to call us and let us know of this decision. The only way we discovered that they weren't coming the following day was by calling them ourselves.
I want my money back for these faulty products, especially the one that I no longer even have in my possession. I also would like for them to come and remove the most recent defective mattress. I have absolutely no interest in doing business with Ashley Furniture Home Store ever again. I feel completely taken advantage of as a consumer and am tired of being lied to. I do not want another Simmons mattress ever again either. I do not feel that their products have a lasting quality considering that I have attempted to purchase two different models of mattresses and both have sunken in the middle in less than one year each time. I would also like my money back for the delivery fee that they charged me to pick up the first defective mattress and deliver the second defective mattress ($75.00).
I have tried everything to reason with the people working at this retailer and no one seems to care of want to listen or take responsibility for their products. I have attempted to contact Simmons directly and they said that they couldn't do anything because they are in a legal contract with Ashley. I have contacted the corporate office and they said they couldn't help me because each location is privately owned and they have the right to make their own policies. So basically, as a consumer, I've been screwed.
There have been NO consequences for these people. They are extortionists! I have filed a complaint with the BBB, and have contacted Wells Fargo to stop payment on the second defective product and to notify them of the types of products they are financing.

So, I purchased a leather match sofa made by Ashley from my local furniture store. Leather match furniture is "suppose" to have 100% leather on the cushions and arm rests and leather match on the sides and back. Got my sofa delivered yesterday, woke up this morning and sat on the sofa with my jeans on. Got up and noticed a scratch where I was sitting, assuming my back pocket button did this. First thought was, why is my leather scratched just by jeans - after all leather is suppose to be pretty scratch resistant. After looking at the scratch, I noticed that the leather seemed very thin and plastic feeling. I pulled off the cushion to look at the label and it stated my cushions were made up of 52% leather and 48% PVC... Wait, what?! Houston, we have a problem!!
So I went back to the local furniture store and looked at their floor model. Yup, states right on their floor model it's leather. Pulled the cushion off to read their label and guess what? Their floor model stated... Cushions made of 100% leather!!! I paid for a cheap bonded leather that was suppose to be leather match, 100% leather on the cushions. I demanded my money back plus credit for the delivery charge and took my business elsewhere. Absolutely, do NOT buy anything made by Ashley Furniture!!!

We purchased furniture from Ashley on February 7. We ordered a bedroom dresser and a night stand, and 4 tall swivel barstools. They were delivered on February 17th. I returned the dresser because I wasn't happy with the top drawer. The finish was chipped off where the drawer closes and there were a few scratches on a couple of the drawers. These products are very cheaply made. I realized that when I saw them up close. They re-delivered a new one. It had basically the same problem but I decided to just keep it since it was just for our guest room.
My BARSTOOLS on the other hand were on sale for $249. We purchased four. I thought they were just fine for the price. Our old barstools which we paid about $600 apiece were finally worn out after 10 years. We have had the ASHLEY barstools since February 17, and the finish on the back and a few spots on the front is chipping off. I realize they are not made out of wood and have a very, very cheap plastic finish, but I would think they would last longer than 2 months!!!! I called their customer service. I did what they said to do, text them a picture of the chipped finish.
I spoke with them today, and the customer service rep made it sound as if WE damaged these chairs on purpose and there is no coverage or warranty that will cover them. She is, however, sending a "Courtesy Tech" to try to fix the damage, since it is not a manufacturing problem. Really???? We have no little children running around, no animals that can reach that high, and we only sit in these chairs maybe once a day for a meal.

I purchased sofa set and bed from Ashley and I am not happy with the purchase because: First instance, when we visited the Ashley store they told very high prices which is not a real price and the bargaining started with the agent, as they started asking how much we can spend. They don't put the real prices on the furniture and they don't stick to the price what they show up as the other stores do (they claim that they are reaching to the customer expectations which is really not and customer will be going to have a poor purchasing experience). We got scheduled after 6 weeks of purchase and they delivered a damage piece and luckily we found it on the same day before signing the delivery form.
When we contacted the warehouse department of Ashley they have stated that they can deliver it on the same day. But we did not get any communication. We again contacted warehouse and then they informed us that particular item is not there in the warehouse and they have to order for it (Pls note until we contacted them they did not place the order). They gave me schedule delivery on the following weekend. We waited on that weekend at home and again we did not receive any communication from the warehouse. We again contacted them and they told like no one scheduled the delivery. Again miscommunication among them or not sure what is really happening and we have requested them to give us a call. And finally we got a call from Ashley for the first time after we requested them.
We asked for the reason for the delay and she told like we will be getting a call from the Manager on the same day. We did not receive any call from them and waited for one week. We again contacted them asking for the status and we explained the issue and they connected the call to manager.

They told us that was no problem. They would order it for us until we were ready. (We ordered it so that way we can still get the sale price "according to them" plus my daughter fell in love with it.) They told us that we didn't have to pay a dime till our furniture was delivered.
But after reading all these reviews we decided to wait on the bedroom set and buy it once we were ready in case they pushed us to get it out of their store quickly. So we cancelled it and they were trying to charge us a restocking fee (20%) because they had already ordered it for us (when they had told us they were not going to order it till we were ready). "BUNCH OF LIARS." Anyways, we fought it and didn't have to pay the restocking fee!! So we decided to go ahead and keep our love seats and sectional we ordered. They told us that the delivery date would be April 22, '14 which is tomorrow. My husband called them to confirm the delivery date and they said that nothing is scheduled for delivery, not tomorrow or anytime soon.
They looked it up on the computer and said it was scheduled to be delivered not until NOVEMBER!!! That is garbage. We told them that if we don't get that delivered within 2 weeks we are cancelling the whole thing, especially after reading all these horrible reviews!!! (Thank goodness we haven't paid for the furniture. We have 12 months to pay after delivery date.) If they try to charge us for restocking fee on something that is not even in stock, we will take further action!!! Shop at Deference furniture instead. We have bought tons of stuff from them and not once have we ever had a problem!!!

I purchased a matching leather sofa, love seat and chair from Ashley Furniture in Madison, TN in December 2012. The purchase was over 5,000 dollars. The sofa is peeling. The defect did not occur until 2 months past the 1-year warranty. The warranty I purchased will not repair it. The store will not replace it. I am now being told that my set was discontinued and I have no possible way of repairing or placing it myself. I was not informed at the time of my purchase that the set was going to be discontinued soon. Had I known I probably would have chose something different. I will never purchase from ASHLEY again. By purchasing a warranty, one believes they are covered but not so with ASHLEY.

I purchased an entertainment unit from Ashley that I had delivered to the store due to having hardwood floors redone. And long work hours, plus 2 dogs at home this was a better choice since I was told it would be about 2 weeks or less. As it turned out it was 6 weeks later. I get the unit home and things don't line up. I assume the wood warped from being stored incorrectly. There are stress cracks in the panels. I call to have reordered but I must bring the pieces back and also pick up the new one. All trips require me to get a truck again!
The new tower comes in and is in worst condition than the original. Now keep in mind, I could never complete the assembly. We finally get a better piece, not perfect but better, still stress cracks but on the inside panel, holes for the shelf clips not all carved out so drilling begins and causes chips but I just want this done. Now I am ready to put the top piece on that connects the towers and goes above TV and it's warped and the side panels that are like shelves don't seem to stay up. In the middle of the night I hear a loud crash. One came down and a glass vase smashes all over the new hardwood floor leaving a mark on the floor.
I should have returned this and the manager who I made aware of my disappointment spoke with a higher authority said I could but we had to bring it in... So we pieced it together and left the top off and replaced it with shelf to complete the look and I'm sure a year from now I will be getting a new one elsewhere of better quality. $1200 down the drain. But the style was exactly what I was looking for, just can't look too close to see the poor quality! I would not consider shopping here again...

I bought the Casa Molina living room tables with marble tops. This included 2 end tables and a cocktail table. These were suppose to have solid black & white marble tops. When I received the tables they had a brown & tan patchwork marble tops. Along one table and end table has a quarter size white blob in the center. I had 72 hrs in which to call to return the tables if I were not satisfied with the tables or condition of the tables. I called within 48 hrs. I was told the table color was correct that it just showed up different on the internet and that the lighting appears different. So I suppose if I bought what was suppose to be a brown couch and I received a grey one I would have to keep. Again I was told colors look different on the internet and in the store. Problem is the pattern is totally different, I was told but it is Marble.
Finally I agreed to the brown because it would be a 20% restocking fee if I returned them even though it was not what I order, but I did want the end table replaced because of what I considered to be a defect in the Marble. I was told it wasn't a defect because it is Marble. I am sorry but this marble has been pieced and glued together which I hate, and it is a defect. The other tables do not have it. I wanted a solid marble top. So they have refused to replace the table, and I cannot return the tables unless I want to pay a 20% the stocking fee. These were very expensive table, but very poorly constructed. I see no reason why I have to accept a table with a big blob in the center.

My wife and I purchased a good bit of furniture to decorate a new home we purchased just South of Hoover Alabama. Not only did we select furniture, but also accessories and other supporting items as well. Ok, so the furniture is 6-7 yrs old. We are appalled that the leather sectional finish is completely coming off as it had been sunburned. To their credit, the Hoover Alabama store manager committed to replace these defective cushions.... but later was not able to uphold that promise. Our many phone calls have gone unanswered. We thought we purchased a real leather sectional. And the truth is, it DOES feel very high quality and a portion of the unit is fine. We are very disappointed that Ashley has not owned up to an obvious quality disaster. We'll not be using them anymore. Just to satisfy my frustration, I'm looking for a class action lawsuit. I'm sure Ashley is taking the least costly route..... just ignore the problem. There's a reason we have a court system in the USA.

Ashley Furniture Nightmare - My name is Kyle ** and this is my story with Ashley Furniture so far. I recently bought my first house in August 2013, and was looking to get some new furniture. My parents had previously bought furniture from Ashley Furniture and recommended we start looking there. We went down to the location on St. James and Ellice to take a look around. We ended up purchasing a dining room set and a large sectional couch and bought the extended warranty. We didn't take possession of the house until October 18, and we were told the couch would take approximately 6 weeks to be delivered, so it seemed to work out perfectly at the time. Three days before we took possession they called us and said the couch was ready and they were going to deliver it next day, when we hadn't even moved into the house yet. We had them change the delivery date to the 19th. When arriving with the furniture, they brought in the dining room set and I went out to the truck to inspect the couch. They had dropped the couch on the corner at the end of the chaise lounge, which left a huge gash in the couch. So without even coming off the truck, the couch was taken back in good faith to have it fixed to quality standards.
The person who I talked to on the phone said that they would have someone call me on Monday to let me know how long it would take to return & repair the couch. From Tuesday to Friday I called every day, being told that someone would call me back. It wasn't until Saturday (when I called again) that someone told me that it was fixed and that we could set a delivery date. They delivered the couch the following Saturday. We were happy with it at first and all was good.
Within 3 days of having it, the backing of the couch where it was repaired started coming off, exposing the whole back panel of the couch and exposing very sharp staples. I called customer service and they said they would have someone come down and repair it in about 2-3 weeks. After the technician came he said he had to order parts, and it was going to take another 6 weeks to get the parts in. When the parts did come in at the beginning of December, they said the only day they had available to have a technician come and fix it was December 24th. Me and my girlfriend both had had to work until 12:00pm, and stressed the fact that we wouldn't be home until after 12. They told us their time slot was between 12-2 and they couldn't accommodate us any more than that. So on the 24th I got off work a bit earlier so I would be here right for 12:00, only to find a "sorry we missed you" note on the door.
I immediately called customer service and told them someone had to come down today because we were having people over for Christmas, and this part of the couch was exposed and one of the first things you saw when you walked in. I was told someone would call me back and they would send someone back here to get the repair done. No one called and no one showed up.
After having everyone over on Christmas and having everyone seeing the damaged furniture which was pretty embarrassing, (someone even caught their pants on the staples sticking out and it ripped their pants!) and after trying to get a hold of a manager (which was pretty much impossible) we decided to go down to the store and see if someone there would be able to help us out. We went down to the store to speak to a store manager, and were told they were too busy to help us and we should just call customer service.
I had to call customer service for weeks, had to re-explain my story to every person I talked to, and every time was told that they were "going to look in to it right away and have someone call me back". No one called me to address my concerns or even rebook the technician to come fix the couch! Finally, after all these phone calls, a manager finally agree to send us a new couch. It was almost February by this point. They said it would take about 4 weeks to get here. It was a long time to wait, but I figured we've already waited this long, and at least they were giving us a new piece of furniture. So I waited until the couch was in and they delivered it (which was early March). I first wanted to inspect it on the truck to make sure there wasn't any damage to it like before.
Everything looked good and I then started to tell the delivery driver about the battle I've had so far. He seemed to care but clearly didn't because after that they recklessly brought the couch in and put 2 massive scratches in the couch. Shocked that they had done that, I didn't notice the hole in the ceiling, I just thought that they hit the outside on the house stucco. They made me sign on the iPad they had (there was nothing to read just a place to sign) and said it was just to sign that they dropped the couch off and that was it. They then put me on the phone with a customer service representative to go over what happened. Immediately after they left, I noticed a hole and crack in the ceiling of the front porch of our house. I called customer care immediately, to which they said that it's not their problem and they are not going to fix it because "we signed off saying no damage was done". After many multiple battles on the phone after they said they were going to fix the couch again that it would be 4-6 weeks again for the parts and that they would let me know when they're in.
When Ashley furniture contacted me again I had to wait 2 weeks for them to come and fix it and when they finally did show up they talked to my girlfriend since I was at work that day. She showed them the hole in the ceiling and showed the scratches on the couch to which he said the damage on the ceiling was clearly old damage and said it looked like we tried to fix and patch the hole previously. He took pictures anyway and then said he had the wrong parts for the couch and that they would have to be re ordered in. The part that he brought was for the other side of the couch (which had a tiny scratch that was done by us accidentally). He said he could leave us the part and we could call an upholster to come and repair it. (Which I said before I had bought the extended warranty which apparently didn't matter). So he left and told us it would be another 4-6 weeks to get the correct part in.
Which leads me to the present day. They have offered me a brand new couch again (which I don't even want anymore) because they have completely ruined this couch for me and have bulldozed and bullied me and family members that have even tried to get involved and help. I'm scared to have them bring in any other furniture in case they damage any other parts of my house! All I want is for them to take this couch back and refund me my money now (which they told us they would not do - they would actually charge us a restocking fee and not reimburse us anything to take it back!)
This entire experience has been an absolute nightmare! For being the largest furniture store in the world, you would think they would have better customer service, as well as better managers. After speaking to the same managers and having them not even to listen to me, just repeating the same things over and over again, it left me feel more frustrated than when I first called. They are completely rude and just all around bullies to the hard working people out there who put their trust them.

The beds were still in the warehouse so when I got the call from Ashley's Furniture I advised that I wanted a refund. The representative told me it would be processed. After I noticed the original card was replaced due to the target security breach, I called back and was informed the refund had not been processed because I would need to go into the store to sign papers for the return.
So I go into the store, with my receipt and driver's license. The representative advises me because my card was closed due to the target breach they would need the letter that was mailed in January to process return. I asked to speak to a manager and he said the same thing. I called the bank and they told me it was impossible to get that letter resent out. I became emotional and angry and advised that I would sue. They would no longer talk to me. They would not even submit my refund request.

Finally, the delivery company came and left, and when they left, my iPad Mini left as well. After numerous calls to customer care, nothing was done, and nothing will be done. Customer care is indifferent and refuses to take responsibility for the actions of the company that delivers their merchandise. Reading other reviews, they tend not to take responsibility for anything. Buyer beware. If you buy from an unscrupulous company, you will be treated poorly. Shop elsewhere.

My husband and I merged items from our past together so after being married 4 years we finally wanted to get some furniture we could call our own together.
Feb 18th, 2014, we stopped in an Ashley Furniture store in Maplewood, MN. The sales people were great with no pressure. We decided on the 6 piece "Elemen Harness Leather Sectional". We were so excited because we thought the sectional was beautiful and after our military discount we spent $4.053.00. We then put our couch on Craigslist for free the day before the scheduled delivery. Feb 24th, 2014, on this day our furniture was delivered. They dropped our chaise and the wedge causing the wedge to break and scuffed all the other pieces. Only 1 piece out of 6 survived with no damage. The drivers were doing 1 man carries instead of teaming together. I wasn't mad yet and I called the store to tell them about the issues and they said they would send a tech out. I said it's beyond what a tech can repair because it was scuffed down to the wood. Also the wedge that was broken was also dyed wrong so it didn't match the other pieces. They set me up with an exchange and apologized and we made sure to get different delivery drivers. I noticed there were stringy things sticking out all over the place and stitching was crooked as well.
March 3rd, 2014, redelivery day. The movers did a wonderful job using team work and didn't damage a thing. Problem was now all manufacturing and a wonderful surprise. Tac strips and stitching wasn't done leaving gaping holes you could put your finger in. More stringy things all over the place sticking out and our wonderful chaise had a scuff that looked repaired and someone painted it dark brown with a paint marker so it didn't even match the sofa. Called CS again and they said they would have a tech come out and the "prior repair" might be a hide scar on the leather. It wasn't a HIDE scar, you could feel the scuff right in the corner and looked like someone finger painted it. This sectional also did not line up properly when put together on the brackets the recliners leaned into pieces badly causing an elephant squeaking noise when reclining. Then where the recliners weren't there were huge gaps large enough to throw a remote down. They scheduled a tech to come out to confirm this/try to fix it.
March 11th, 2014, tech arrived gluing down tac strips, painting flaws and snipping strings. He put washers in between 1 of the brackets to separate it a bit. NOW GET THIS, the tech confirmed the chaise had a prior repair and was NOT a hide scar and that the chaise was so tight to just leave it disconnected and pulled away a bit. The recliner still rubbed and after 2 days was leaning into the counsel. March 13th, 2014, called Ashley and told them the whole story again and they wanted me to speak to the Manager who wasn't in so made a ton of notes when all I wanted at this point was to return it. March 14th, 2013, spoke with the manager and he was made aware of the whole situation. I said I would like to just return it because it had already been almost 1 month of problems. He offered me $200.00 credit back and to try it again and apologized. I asked him how soon I would get my refund and he said immediately, "I am putting it into the system right now and however fast your bank works you should see it in 3-5-7 days." I unfortunately agreed and they said they got it all scheduled and I should receive a call when the scheduled delivery will be in about 1-2 days.
March 21st, 2014, it had already been 1 week. I had seen no credit to my account and on this day I received a call but wasn't able to answer it and got a voicemail from a lady in the office saying they cannot give me a credit until they pick the other set up and do the exchange and that the manager was wrong to say that. ALSO that my couch was backordered. Nice to know this 1 FULL week after I agreed to a deal that they could NOT fulfill. Why didn't they tell me this last week? If I would have known it was backordered I would have said ok let's schedule a pick-up and I want to return it like what I wanted to do in the first place and the return would have already been done and I could have already been out shopping for new stuff. JESUS people! March 23rd, 2014, called to speak to Manager but he wasn't in again and they said he needed to approve the return. A lady from the office did work hard on getting the approval and managed to schedule the pick-up for return for 03/27/14.
March 27th, 2014, went to get my mail and a letter arrived from Ashley with my return invoice and credit amount. The invoice said Ashley only owed me $3223.00. WTF? I paid $4053.00 and they approved a FULL refund I thought. The invoice was missing a part of the sectional, delivery fees and the warranty I paid for. I immediately called Ashley Furniture because the drivers were 15 minutes away to come pick up my couch. I didn't want them to take my couch that was a 6 piece when their paper work showed they were supposed to pick up 5. The office lady admitted she messed up the invoice and scrambled to get it fixed before the drivers arrived calling their boss to inform them of the extra piece that was missing. She managed to get it all fixed before the drivers came but then told me she didn't get authorization for the warranty and delivery fee credit. Now why the ** (I'm pissed now) would I pay for a warranty for something I NO LONGER HAVE? And why should I have to pay for delivery when the movers damaged the 1st set and the 2nd came from the warehouse screwed up with manufacturing flaws??
She said she would try to get it approved by the end of the day. She did end up fixing everything and getting the approval by 7pm at night. I was really relieved. The couch was gone and I could start over with my empty house. During this whole dilemma I had called the customer service line who re-directed me to someone who then redirected me back to the same CS line. I've left messages for the head manager in charge of the delivery warehouse, Corporate and even the owner of the company to let them know what was going on but no one seemed to really care. I ended up purchasing new items from Furniture Mart which is related to Ashley and while it's not an Ashley brand the table I selected and the new couch has manufacturing problems. Half my couch is also backordered out till May in CHINA somewhere. Finally today 04/05/2014 the secretary of the owner in corporate called me and I told her my story. She cut the phone call short and told me, "Well looks like you’re on track with everything". Apparently she was too busy to listen or care either.
Summary: NO ONE in this company gives a crap about anything besides making sales. This was my first time with a large furniture purchase and makes me wish I had just gotten milk crates with cushions to sit on. Not to mention I lost out money on this because I tipped the 2nd delivery drivers who did a good job and just tipped the delivery drivers again for my new stuff. I wasn't expecting anything for free or a handout, I just wanted to let the company know there were some major issues going on that needed to be looked into because I could imagine other customers losing it if this happened to them. I have video/pics but after writing letters to corporate with them forwarding everything around in one big circle **, I'm done and this is my final review... "Worthless!"

I was burnt by them previously (in 2010... it took about a month past my estimated delivery date and several angry visits and refunds of some of my money to finally get everything I had ordered).

After a whole lot of silence, I stopped by the store March 18th and they "refunded" my delivery fee. But apparently they only cut checks on Fridays. It has been 16 days and I still have yet to see that refund. Why they couldn't just put it back on my card, I have no idea. The manager refused to. My bed was finally delivered sans one nightstand (it was apparently defective). And I will say the delivery guys were great. So here I am a week and a half later, still waiting for this second nightstand to make its way to me. At this point, I just want the money for that one piece refunded and for them to just load the one off the showroom floor into my car. Enough is enough. I can't say it enough.

We bought an Ashley couch & chair from Hom Furniture in November 2012. Shortly after I felt the chair starting to "sink". The technician came out and he "stuffed" more padding into the bottom of the frame which seemed to help for a little while. About 2 weeks after our one year warranty ran out, the frame inside the couch started busting. From what we can see it's only 1 by 2's held together with staples and some type of metal shims or something. I called and there is a lifetime warranty on the frame but only for parts. For $150/hour labor I can have someone come out and reconstruct my frame. Ridiculous! I will NEVER buy another Ashley furniture piece again and just spend more money on Flex Steel or something build with quality.

I will attempt to keep this as short as possible, but it won't be easy. My husband and I bought $5,000 worth of furniture from Ashley in Madison, TN. Helpful sales, talked us into their "warranty" (HA!), yada, yada. Most pieces are okay, which would have earned them 2 or 3 stars. They get bumped back to zero because of the sofa. Bought in May 2013, received in June 2013. Immediately, we notice the sofa is weird looking with bumpy, lumpy cushions. If we'd had a brain in our heads, we should have refused it and demanded another one. But no, we were told they overstuff them a bit so they stay comfortable longer. Can't believe we bought that.
After a couple of months, small white spots start showing up. We call Ashley. They tell us it sounds like a dye defect. They mail us new covers and tell us that techs will come to put them on. By the time techs arrive weeks later, we had notice a huge, strange spot on the underside of a cushion and also the frame and supports are weak. The center cushion tends to sink down. Everyone that comes to our house asks us what's up with our "new" sofa. It's embarrassing. But at least I now know of approx. 20 or so people who will never shop at Ashley after sitting on our crappy sofa.
Anyway, the techs look at the sofa and tell us it is beyond what they can do for it. They clearly see the sofa is defective and are going to recommend Ashley replace it. Now here's where we REALLY screw up... we let them leave without getting ANY of this in writing. Do not do this! They will NOT keep their word! A couple of weeks go by, we call Ashley. They said they are not sending a new sofa and not fixing this one. They said techs reported it was CUSTOMER ABUSE! Are you KIDDING me?!? Yes, we often gleefully stick random wads of cotton batting into seat cushions for fun and jump up and down on it. Right!
We do not use the sofa often and have no children or pets. So it is now March 2014 and we're still stuck with this ever-worsening sofa. Will never shop at Ashley again. Soon we'll be buying a new sofa. We're seriously considering taking THIS sofa to that Ashley location and sitting it right outside the front door for prospective customers to sit on. I bet most of them turn and leave. See, told you I couldn't keep it too short.

I can't tell you about the quality of my furniture, because I never got it. Part of the reason I purchased from Ashley's was the service from the sales consultant I got when I was shopping; I'd narrowed my choices down to this sofa and one at another store, and was trying each one out one more time. She was friendly, informative, and not pushy. The first red flag was after establishing and going to checkout. the person doing the paperwork advised me the information about length of interest free financing was incorrect. But it wasn't a big deal.
I was disappointed that it would be a minimum of two weeks before delivery, but scheduled my delivery for a few weeks later. Two days before delivery, got a call confirming the date still worked - it did. I had taken a day off work and arranged pick-up of my old furniture. One day before delivery got an automated call giving me a window of 10-2. Less than an hour later, got a call from the sales person - my sofa was not on the truck, and she couldn't tell me when they would get it (claimed this "never" happens). I explained it was an issue, since I would now have no furniture.
She promised me a call back from her manager with an update by afternoon, it could possibly be on a later truck. 3 hours later, no call back. I called the store, got a machine and left a message. Two hours later called and got the "office manager". She was rude and condescending, and placed blame on the manufacturer (said it happens all the time, they'll leave stuff off the truck if they don't have room) and said she'd contact the manufacturer. When I questioned why this hadn't happened 5 hours earlier, she said the manager was probably "too busy" to have dealt with yet.
When I told her I was considering canceling my order and going to her competitor across the street her response was, "Fine, I'll cancel your order; you don't have to rub it in". I complained on their Facebook page. After asking me to email them details they hid the posting since it wasn't positive, and their response to the complaint was each store is operated independently and they've forwarded my complaint to the store - and that I should keep in contact to ensure resolution. My resolution is I'm going to the store across the street and buying the other sofa, which they can deliver in 5 days!

I purchased a chair. The chair broke only after 2 months. The customer service refused to fix the chair or replace the chair. They stated that because the chair did not have a structural defect in their opinion, they would not honor the warranty. They would give me a 30% discount on a new chair only. I couldn't believe it!

I purchased a "High Quality" or so they say Leather & Sofa and Love seat Combo. Of course the sales person goes on to sell you a warranty that is a few hundred more dollars on top of your purchase price.... in case anything happens. Well it has been a little over a year and a hard spot started to surface separating the leather. Called Ashley Furniture and they referred me to the " warranty company". Needless to say it took them 2.5 months to come out to look at it..... to say they would be getting back in contact with me which they never did.
I called them 4 weeks later and they told me there was nothing they could do... it was a manufacturer's defect. I called Ashley Furniture and they "Kindly" told me I could purchase another cushion for an extra $125.00. So what it boils down to that Ashley Furniture sells non-quality furniture and the "warranty" is a load of CRAP. Each one of them pushes it off on the other so no one has to do anything about it. WOULD not purchase furniture from them.

I rated them 2 stars but that really is generous. I was shopping for two new beds so went to Ashley Furniture to see what they had. My salesperson was pleasant and helpful. After testing a number of beds, I purchased two queen-size memory foam beds. To call them "beds" now is a joke. I was not home when the beds were delivered, but my friend called and said they were delivered and I said, "How do they look? " She said I would have to see for myself. Well, they were rolled up and squeezed with thick plastic and it looked like someone wasn't paying attention because they were all crimped up inside. Anyway, on with the story.
The showroom bed that we tried out was so comfortable and supportive. I was so excited to sleep in my new bed. I purchased two of these beds for a little over $1,000 plus delivery. These beds have absolutely no support. You wake up to roll over and realize you're in a big hole! I felt tricked, kind of, because this doesn't happen immediately upon laying down. At first it feels right. But I sink right down to the box spring (which is also a piece of junk). I ended up buying an extra firm 3" memory foam topper, which makes it only bearable.
I called the store and my salesperson had to ask her associates nearby who I should call about this issue. You could hear them all saying "corporate." So I called corporate and they told me the individual store is responsible. That made me so mad; I kind of lost steam at this point. Do Not Buy a Memory Foam Bed from Ashley. They are crummy pieces of foam with a big price tag and they aren't even comfortable!!!!!

I was told that my couch would be delivered between 3-7pm today. I got a phone call at 1pm from the delivery man (who did not speak English well) saying he was outside my residence. I proceeded to explain that I was not home and that I needed to find someone who could be there. He just kept repeating "I am here." I asked if I could call back, which he kept saying "I am here." I told him he was scheduled to be there from 3-7pm, which he said "I am here." I then tried calling him back and giving his number to my friend who was going to call him to see when he would return. They did not answer my phone calls (3 times) or my friends. I even left a voicemail for him, nothing.
Then I get a call right at 3pm saying he is here. My friend was still 30 minutes away from the apartment. I had to call my friend, then call him back, and you guessed it, he did NOT answer his cell phone. Then I finally get a call back saying he is leaving, and can't wait. I had to call the customer service, which I told the entire story to. The lady was very kind, and told me she would contact dispatch and get back to me to let me know if they would wait 10 minutes. I never got a call, instead at 3:40pm, I got a call from a RUDE customer service person to reschedule.
I told her my story, and she kept interrupting me, and I was getting upset. So, I hung up and called back and spoke to another kind girl who tried to see what was happening. Unfortunately, nothing could be done. Now I have to wait till Tuesday for a delivery. I just called my local Ashley store and they are going to contact dispatch to figure out what is going on. I only hope this gets resolved, because at this point, I am livid and very frustrated at how this was handled.

I have been reading reviews of Ashley's Furniture today because I was "thinking" of purchasing a sectional that was bought by a friend. Because it wouldn't fit into her room well, and because Ashley's refused to return or exchange, I thought perhaps I might buy it from her for my home. I am so thankful I read the reviews, because I would NOT ever purchase upholstered furniture from them now. My only experience previously has been with accessories. They refused to sell me ONE lamp, and said I had to buy TWO or nothing. I went with the NOTHING side... It is not a customer friendly store - sad for the young consumer who gets involved. I'll continue to purchase more expensive furniture, from a reputable company. I would rather pay for quality. I can't afford to replace furniture every two years...

I am going to Ashley Furniture tomorrow to receive my refund for a cancelled order. In February 2014 I placed my order to furnish my entire home. I didn't have any furniture due to the fact I've lived in corporate housing and roommate situations. I also paid my delivery fee to ensure delivery on my moving day. I received a call yesterday (3 days prior to my scheduled delivery) to notify me my order was backordered and the complete order wouldn't be delivered until March 22, 2014. UNACCEPTABLE! A month after ordering my furniture they tell me I must wait two weeks in an empty apartment. If I weren't expecting out-of-town guests, MAYBE I'd accepted the update, but I couldn't understand why they didn't inform me when I A)placed my order in person B)paid for delivery.
They said could send part of my order March 9 (one day after my move). Of course, they could not guarantee a time for me until Saturday...the day before. I was not happy due to I work shift work and I started a new job and asked for the weekend to move and unpack. I didn't expect to use both my days off to move and then wait another day for furniture. I asked them to confirm a time for me before Saturday so I could plan my upcoming weekend without worrying about if and when my furniture would arrive. I thank God I pushed for a confirmation. They called me back today (Thursday March 6) and informed me that my furniture they promised me on March 8, then later March 9 would not actually be available until March 12!
So, I am supposed to believe them that I will receive furniture March 12 and the remainder of my purchase March 22? I don't think so. I should have known not to trust them, though...Sunday they called and requested that I pay for delivery. But, I already paid for delivery..."that's the only way to guarantee your furniture arrives the day you need it." How did they not know it was already scheduled and paid for?
I don't have a review on the durability and quality of furniture due to the fact that I never received my furniture. I canceled my order because I felt that if they can make this many excuses BEFORE I receive my furniture, I pretty much am asking for trouble if I expect them to give me good customer service if the furniture needs repairs. Consumers beware of this company. Keep your hard earned money and use it at furniture establishments with good service. AVOID ASHLEY FURNITURE!

My wife and I purchased a sectional from this company. The first day, one of the pillows exploded because the zipper came detached. 6 weeks after purchase, the middle sectional springs exploded out and the cushions pushed up about 4 inches. When they came to inspect it, the repairman pulled the bottom netting off on one edge, leaned in and said the board holding the springs had broken in 2 places and it was not their problem. He leaned in and took a couple of pictures and noted that the breaks were not from knots in the wood and informed us that therefore we had damaged the sectional. I am a 57-year-old pastor, my wife is not quite as old as me but we are empty nesters and no one was jumping or walking on the furniture. I am extremely frustrated.

On 2/18/2014 we pick up the product and on 2/21/2014 we decided that the product really would not work for our kitchen. Still new and in its original cartons.. My husband called (2/21) and asked about their return policy and the Customer Service Rep indicated that they didn't have one? "You can't return product" was the first answer...then they came back and said that "it would have to be within a 72 our window"(we were well within that..when we called). So, my husband asked to speak to a "Manager". Kenny, the manager...gets on the phone and starts to quote policy...blah, blah, blah! "We have the right to refuse to take back the product!"
After, getting an ear full from Kenny... my husband told him it was with the 72 hours and we never opened the boxes. At that point, Kenny said "well yes, we can work something out (he needed to talk to a manager?)." He said "we would be calling back around 9:00-10:00 am the next morning with a resolution." Fair enough..next day rolls around 10:30 am...no call? So, we call ask for Kenny..."Kenny does not come in until noon"? Great...left another message with phone number to call. By now, it feels like we are getting the "run around". The next call went to American Express...with a complaint. Of course, AMEX immediately reversed the charge. They asked that we reach back out to the vendor to see if they are going to cooperate.
Called Kenny again, this time he was with a customer. Left another message for him to call. Well, it's now 3 days later....and no call! For some reason, I am not surprised. The least they could have done was to call back to say "we are working on the problem or we won't take it back." Not doing anything...tells me that they don't care about their customers let alone service. I would suggest that you don't buy from Ashley...they basically SUCK!!!! So, now they will need to arrange to get their crap out of my garage, at my convenience. We let the dogs out.....it's now in AMEX's hands!

After the failed attempt the delivery guy said I wouldn't want this one due to the frame being cracked. And out it went!

We looked at all the furnitures from high to low and Ashley looked to have nicely made, contemporary and well priced about the middle of the road. We bought a sectional and bedroom set, bought at the store and got no same day delivery, took 3 days. So the furniture gets delivered and the the guys attempt to set up the furniture and one of the bed rails would not attach to the headboard (defective mounting bracket) then I check out the rest of the furniture and the new sofa arm rest squeaks every time you put your arm on it as if they forgot to put the foam or support in the arm. So as the salesman said, "do not sign anything if there are any problems and you can call customer care and him to work out the problems."
So I called customer care and first thing they said is why did you accept delivery with the problems? As I told her, the salesman said to. At that point I knew I was in for nothing but problems. The rep set me for the first available appointment over two weeks and said they could do nothing for the sofa until a service tech looks at it and they would order the bracket for the bed.
Fast forward to the service date 2/4/14 and the tech shows up in the 3 hr window they gave me, kudos. Then looks at the sofa and says that he would have to tear my NEW sofa apart to the frame for 2-3 hrs and redo the cardboard arm support and would have to reschedule to do in two or three weeks again. So I ask him about the bed if he brought the part and he had no idea what I was talking about and I gave him the story and he said that they will ship the part to my house.
So 1400 dollars and over two weeks later I have a bed I cannot use and a couch that should be soft and quiet, but squeaky every time I place my arm on the rest. So now the fun begins, the wait to see my couch torn to the frame or argue with customer care to get it replaced. And yes I have tried calling the store and they said I have to deal with customer care to resolve. Next time I will buy what I actually sit or lay on. Will keep you all updated.

We were pleased with the whole experience until 3-4 months after our purchase. I received a telephone call from GE Capital saying that I owed money. I am a faithful bill-payer and it didn't seem correct. I looked up my account online and found out that me and my husband had two different accounts with them. I was frustrated because I had never seen a second statement from them. I called Ashley Furniture to talk with them and got in contact with some nice people on the phone once I could actually talk to a person.
The first time, I got an answering machine. I left a message, but two days with no call back prompted me to call them back. Once the manager got in touch with me, she said she would have to call me back. She forgot to. Meanwhile, I am getting constantly bombarded with calls from GE Capital. I called her back and she simply said I signed a paper and gave authorization to have my credit and my husband's credit run separately. There's no doubt I may have been slightly naive at the time of our purchase, but I asked several times what they were doing with these forms and what they were for. The only response we received was that we needed enough credit to make the purchase and that they needed both of our applications.
No doubt, I should have read, but communication was and is not good once you get to the merchant area. As we left, the merchant assured us that a once a month payment will be made, etc. Based on the lack of communication and credit issues dealing with the merchants, I was dissatisfied. Our couch is wonderful, but will be ten times more wonderful once we are out of this mess.

I have never received such terrible customer service from a business, especially one that I spent a large amount of money with. I purchased a mattress and by the fall of 2013 the mattress was dipping where I slept so I called their customer service. They sent out a technician and it was deemed defective. I was given credit to buy the same Simmons mattress. Within 3 months of receiving the new Simmons mattress, it did exactly what the first had done. A technician from Ashley once again came out and the mattress was deemed defective. I did not hear anything from Ashley for over a week so I called the customer service line and was told they were not sure what the status was and that I would need to speak to the Operations Manager and they would pass my information on. I received a call and voice mail from "Sharon".
I called her back within an hour of her calling me and left her a voice mail. I then did not hear back from her so I called and continue to leave her voice mails. A week later, she finally returned my call and I was told that they could not give me a replacement mattress because they no longer sold that brand (Simmons) but would give me a credit for the amount I spent on the mattress and box spring to buy a new mattress. I stated that I did not want to purchase another (3rd) mattress from them and would rather have an in-store credit that I could use on other furniture/merchandise in the store. I was told that was not possible due to their deal with Simmons... Mind you, they don't sell that brand anymore?!
After a discussion about this, I asked who else I could speak with about this and was told that she (Sharon) was it and this was all they could do. I am appalled that after being in the situation twice in two years, this was all that they could do and especially after I was just asking for an in-store credit not a full refund. I will NEVER buy anything, even a vase, from this company again. The lack of customer service, integrity, and respect for their customers is disgusting.

I found a sectional couch I liked a whole lot and we asked about the availability. They lied to us about what could be delivered and when. Too much to go into but 3 deliveries later when we finally got the whole couch delivered 2 of the pieces were damaged. The guy told us that if he called it in they would tell him to take the damaged pieces with him and we would be without for at least 2 weeks. He said if we called it in, they would just schedule to pick it up and switch it out on the same day.
So okay because I didn't want to be stuck with pieces of a couch missing for 2 weeks. When I called they said, "Oh we are sorry he told you that but we won't be switching the pieces out. We will order parts and have them delivered and when they come - call and we will have someone come out and fix it." So I'm still waiting for the parts and can only imagine how much trouble it's going to be to get it fixed. Then when we were there we also decided to get a dining table for the house. They said it would all be delivered on the second part of our couch delivery. The day they were supposed to bring it out. I got a call (a recording) saying that one of the chairs were damaged when they went to load it and it would be ordered and sent out in a couple of weeks. Okay, no big deal stuff happens right!?
They arrive and proceed to bring in the table. This is what we got. A table but no legs. They couldn't figure out where they were or why they didn't get loaded. One of the chairs the leg was about 4 inches shorter than the others so it wouldn't stand up. And one of the other chairs looked like it was put together by my 2 yr old. Completely defective. So they leave and we are left with a table top and 3 of the 6 chairs we were supposed to have. They brought the legs to the table out about 4 days later at 8:45 at night. We still have no idea where the chairs are. Overall their delivery team sucks and they can't get their junk together which is why I absolutely would not recommend them to anyone. As far as the quality of the furniture time will tell. We bought the warranty for the sofa so hopefully if we have to use it - that team won't be such morons.

I had purchased leather furniture as well. And although I am single, work primarily out of state, no pets, therefore little wear on furniture. My leather sofa started cracking and flaking. Store employee "manager" stated known problem with that line. He referred me to corporate which in turn refused to make any amends. Twice I have been to store, all employees I spoke with claim to be store manager when I asked to speak with higher supervisor. All admit that furniture should last longer than it has.Ashley has a one year warranty whether you purchase a budget 399.99 sofa or the most expensive sofa.
So I asked, “An expensive sofa isn't any better than your cheapest sofa?” Stumped employee, she couldn't give a rational answer. They claimed that store is corporate owned but Ashley Corporation will tell you each store is independently owned and operated. Store will tell you anything to sell you and will tell you anything to get out of taking any responsibility. I have a cheap 500.00 Rooms to Go sofa in my sun room that is older and received daily wear for 2 years that is better quality than 1000.00 each for sofa and loveseat. Poor quality and nonexistent customer service.

I purchased a DuraBlend couch in 2011 with an ELITE warranty for $80. I was denied service from Guardsman. You must report the damage in 5 days they said. I have a 5 YEAR WARRANTY. I called Ashley in Pinellas Park, FL and said my couch is peeling. He replied it’s not warranted on your policy but call the manufacturer for Ashley. The lady responded take a picture and my supervisor and I will decide the outcome. I do have other damage as well. This is a SHADY company. Stay away.

I bought a futon in August of 2013 to put in a spare room. I live alone and the only person who has ever sat on the futon was either me (120 lbs) or my daughter in law (110 lbs)!! In December 2014 I sat on it and the wooden leg broke... actually splintered in half!!! I couldn't believe it!! I wrote Customer Service and they told me to contact the store. I went to the store and was promised that a replacement leg would be ordered. Actually, I would have thought a whole new futon would be ordered, but I was willing to accept just another weak leg.
It's been a month and still no leg. I had set this room up last year for the grandkids to use as a TV room... so they couldn't use it during their visit from out of town. Cust Svc contacted me again and said they would order the leg, but so far I haven't heard anything else from them. I am pretty angry that I purchased a piece of furniture that was only used probably no more than 5 times by a 120 lb woman and it broke!!! I will never purchase from Ashley's again and I do not recommend them after my experience with their quality and their slow response.

Shortly after buying a leather sectional, the stitching began to come off of each cushion and then the leather started to flake. Once the flaking started, it was a nonstop job of constant cleaning up of leather off the floor. I'm greatly disappointed in the quality of this couch which I saved up for for some time... Now I have Nothing but a horrible piece of crap and no money to replace. Never again will I buy this brand.

The chair legs from my 6' 0" round wood table and 6 chairs fell off while on one occasion my wife and a later occasion my son fell off and slammed her head into a window sill and the other my son fell off and broke his toe and damaged the sheet rock wall. I now only have four (4) chairs for a five person family which is very angry with me. These chair legs cannot be fixed even though I have a degree in architecture and been involved in construction for a long time. When I contacted Ashley, they said they couldn't help me and gave me the name of a furniture repair company that came to look and told me to throw them in the garbage. I now have a wood veneer round table that is splitting and 4 chairs with loose legs waiting to join the others in the garbage. My wife and son have been recuperating. Ashley Furniture is garbage. Stay away.
