    Actually, this isn't really about a shocking return policy... it's about their NO return policy. I purchased a gorgeous $375 king-size comforter set I saw on display in their store in Mesquite, TX. The salesman brought mine out in a huge clear plastic zipper bag from the back room with "KING" clearly marked on the outside label. Darn thing weighed at least 40 pounds, which was difficult for me because I walk with a cane. I get home, unpack the contents of the plastic zipper bag and discover the contents are a QUEEN set, not a king. It takes me an hour to fold everything back into the bag. I drive back to the store, and the cashier tells me there are no refunds or exchanges, PERIOD.

    I'm dumbfounded. I tell her that I purchased a king but the bag contained a queen. She shrugs. I argue with her for 15 minutes and ask to speak to a manager, who continues the argument for 10 minutes more before he gives up and agrees to credit my Mastercard. I'm sure the fact that I began throwing around words like "fraud" and "deception" and "bait and switch" had something to do with it. The cashier's counter was full of customers at the time!

    I brought the set 02/04/2012 and the chair is fading. I brought a 5year peace of mind warranty that the saleswoman told us that it cover everything but when I called the company they said it don't cover fading the springs and thing. Very expensive furniture and warranty.

    If you are looking for furniture, stay away from Ashley's Furniture. Great customer service skill to sell to customer but have the worst customer service when there is a problem. I purchased a recliner set with Rocker. It was delivered on 8/27/13. 10 minutes later, I discovered one of the recliners on sofa was not working. Called customer care, explained the problem. They sent out a tech on 8/30/13 to analyze the problem. On 9/4/13, customer care called me back to order part. I asked why they could not replace sofa since it was not my fault, the agent & supervisor stated that they only repair & can not replace sofa. So I called the location where I made purchase which was in Katy, TX.

    I spoke with Maria & Ebony. They also said the same thing (only replace). So I asked Ebony to transfer me to manager Joey. Ebony transferred me to customer care multiple times or she disconnect the line until I finally got fed up & ask her why Joey won't get the phone. She then claim he's busy. This is the worst place I have ever shopped at for furniture, so if you're thinking about buying furniture, spend your money somewhere else. This place is hungry for money only. They are not in the business to comfort any issue or customers!!!!!!!

    I purchased a bedroom set from Ashley Furniture store in their big sale events which was advertised as everything should go. Everything seem fine and at the time of my purchase, they promised that they will deliver my items on the same weekend. I paid full price at the same date and looked forward to have my furniture in the weekend. When the time comes, no one contact and no update information from customer service. I called the store to find out on my status of purchase and they stated, "Who told you we will deliver your furniture this weekend? You did not read the end of your receipt. It's written your purchase will be delivered in 6-8 weeks." I am waiting for two months on my purchase and still waiting. Every two weeks they call me. "We can not promise you possible in 2 weeks your purchase will be delivered." My money is in their hands since 2 months ago and still waiting.

    We purchased leather couch and love seat in 4/09. About a year and a half later, the couches started shredding. I had contacted Ashley Furniture Store and reported it in 4/11. I was told it was not covered for that. I paid $179.00 for a protection plan. I had asked if they could send someone to my home to look at the couches. But they would not. I paid $1,853.12 for these couches. Within just about 2 years, they are in horrible condition. When you purchase new couches, it is expected to last more than 2 years. They sent me a letter saying, "Although we cannot repair or replace your furniture for you, you may want to consider contacting an authorized Ashley dealer. They will be able to order replacement parts and it would be your responsibility to pay for it." We are extremely outraged.

    Purchased a bonded leather sofa and matching loveseat in 2010. Told sales associate I was not comfortable with "bonded" leather; I had a Bible of bonded leather and the cover cracked and flaked. Associate assured me it would wear better than genuine leather and for a fraction of the cost. Less than two years later, the "bonded" leather (brand name is Durablend) flakes off couch and loveseat. I sit down then stand up covered in little leather flakes. Ashley's will not honor manufacturer's warranty because it is only good for one year. We had purchased the extended five-year warranty -- lucky for us!!! NOPE!!! They only cover accidental damage -- not manufacturer's defects.

    Emailed president of Ashley's. His response: They will give us a credit in the store to purchase more furniture. (I don't want any more of their crappy furniture. I want my money back so I can shop with a company that stands behind their product.) Took couch cushion directly into the store and the store manager TOLD ME TO DUMP NAIL POLISH ON THE CUSHION SO I COULD GET IT REPLACED!!!! Are you kidding me? Last time I checked, that is called fraud. So angry that I poured money into this store. RUN!!! RUN FAR, FAR AWAY!!!

    I went in on Labor Day. The sales girl came to me as soon as I walked in. I told her I was just looking because I didn't want to interrupt my phone call with my husband. After I got off the phone I heard her telling the other girl she wanted to tell me to go ** myself and that she wasn't going to help me and if I needed any help she told the other girl to help me. I immediately walked out. I will not step foot in that store ever.

    Ashley Furniture in Bolingbrook has nice selections. But we have to watch their quality and their damage warranties don't ever take that warranties. They are not going to do anything. They are just giving you a false promise when we buying the furniture. They will tell you "if any problem comes, we will fix it" but no way. As per my experience they are not gonna do anything. I bought a queen set from them like 1 and half year ago. Bottom of the bed collapsed and my box came down and I called the number that they gave me for warranty. Since last 4 weeks they are not doing anything for me. Yesterday, I called them and they are saying that "We are not going to fix it. If you want, we can give you a gift certificate for 100 dollars." But again we can use only in Ashley with that gift certificate and if anybody need proof for this, you can contact me at **.

    In December of 2011, my mother purchased a leather chair for $700. Today, that leather is falling apart. I contacted Ashley Furniture and they said "sorry, it's out of warranty". Now, I feel that it is a lot of money and should hold up more than a year and a half and they should take responsibility!!

    Use another furniture company if you want less stress in your life. Well I will just say I will never ever buy anything from Ashley Furniture again. They just want your money. The delivery service sucks! My house was damaged. I paid for what they call insurance in case you lose your job...Well I did and they took months to kick in. So of course late fees and things occurred. They do not show compassion. They just want money. I have been through hard financial times for about 4 months now going from check to check and the light and water company show more mercy than Ashley Furniture. They instead filed a case on me and threaten me with the police. I have to choose to feed my kids or pay Ashley Furniture.

    I have been paying $250 monthly for a while on a $2500 credit. How long should that take? Not long at all but...that's how Ashley Furniture gets you sucked in. Well I haven't paid in 4 months but it's been a while and guess what... THEY say I still owe like I never paid at all! All I asked for is to give me receipts and show me what I owe. If you can take a payment over the phone, you can send a receipt. So since I have not received a receipt, why should I believe your balance. You would not give your hard-earned money away. It's a rip off!!

    It took forever to get my merchandise inside the home. And when we did get it in, the guys damaged my walls! I call to make payments and they will not send you a receipt. Funny how I can pay over the phone but you cannot mail me a receipt. So forgive me if I do not believe Ashley Furniture when they give a price. It's always higher! I should be worried about myself and my kids' health and strength but I had to post this and recommend Everyone use another furniture company! Not this one. Not worth the pay, pain or stress.

    My husband and I went in to the Buford, GA store to purchase a table, 6 chairs, a chest and 2 recliners. The total was $3000 and I wrote a check for the total cost. I did not want to use my debit card for a purchase that large because recently I had made a $4000 purchase and the bank froze my card because of security reasons and I had to call and verify that it was a legitimate purchase etc... So that being said, that is why I wanted to write a check and did not need furniture for 8 weeks.

    At this point, the sales person comes out and says the check will not go through and we know the money is in our account. We have a premier banking status so we can get a SunTrust person 24/7. So we called our banker and he said there is no reason for the check to not go through. We thought it could be a security problem. So at this point they said "oh it's not the check, it is our machine." You think they would have told us that from the beginning! So we left the check and they said they would call us as soon as it was resolved. I said that was fine and I would come the next morning and pick up my receipt.

    No call Sunday night, no call Monday so I call around 12 and the "customer service" rep said he didn't know anything about it and asked if I had left my check. He knew I had left my check because he was in the middle of all this the day before. He said he will check on it and call me right back so I waited 3 hours and at this point I was done (my husband was done the day before and wanted to cancel the order)! So I drive to the store and ask for the sales manager that I had talked to the day before. He was not there but the store manager was. I thought great! He will be helpful! Wrong!!!

    He came up and did not introduce himself. I explained everything that had happened and told him I needed him to find my check, give it back to me and cancel my order. And this is when it gets even better.... He grunts, walks to the office next to the "customer service rep" who could not find my check, gets the check and hands it to me. That's it!!! No I am sorry for your trouble or maybe if I would stay their customer I could have free delivery or something! I have never ever experienced such a terrible business experience and they could care less!!! I will never go back there and I will be sure anyone I know will hear about this experience!!

    Initially when we purchased an entire bedroom set, they "forgot" to include the dresser so they charged us separately for that. That is just the beginning. They delivered an uncovered, dirty and torn mattress! When we complained they charged us more and we had to wait 2 weeks for a clean mattress. However unfortunately it gets worse.. They delivered bed bugs! Now we are spending thousands of dollars to clean up and they are ignoring us!!!

    My husband and I purchased two end tables, one oval cocktail table, one chair and a half, one ottoman and one sofa from Ashley Furniture. We paid in full at the time of purchase by check $2,694.01. The order was placed on July 18, 2013 and a delivery fee of $77.99 was included. Delivery was to be two to six weeks from date of order. On August 20, 2013 approximately 5 weeks later, delivery of one couch, two end tables and an ottoman was made. The delivery driver said he had a loveseat on his truck that he would "give" us in place of the chair and a half. We refused as this is not what we ordered and paid for.

    On Friday, August 23, 2013 my husband called the store where we purchased the furniture and spoke with the salesperson. He then made contact with the delivery warehouse and was called back with a delivery date of Monday, August 26, 2013 between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. for the cocktail table and the chair and a half. Sunday, August 25, 2013 the delivery warehouse calls at 6:00 p.m. and states that the chair and a half will not be delivered, as it was damaged. We were told that the replacement chair would not be delivered until the third week of September. This new date will be in excess of 60 days.

    Ashley Furniture has not been truthful with us from the beginning. The oval cocktail table was backordered, but will be delivered - we have been told. The chair and a half was not backordered and now it is not going to be delivered. The ottoman was backordered and it was delivered on August 20, 2013. The consequences of the actions of Ashley Furniture has caused undue stress on both of us. My husband is a new pastor of a church and I have had two surgeries during this time. If we had been told that Ashley does not fulfill their purchase agreements as written, we would have purchased this furniture elsewhere.

    I purchased a sofa, love seat and tables from Ashley Furniture. Very shortly after the furniture was delivered, the frame on the sofa broke. Soon after that, the frame on the loveseat broke. Thinking it would be better to wait until after I moved to have the furniture repaired. I moved. Then I called Ashley Furniture to have the furniture repaired. NOPE! If the furniture has been moved, they will not repair it!!!!! I paid $250.00 for a warranty on the furniture.

    I called the warranty company - they won't cover the repair because the breakage occurred more than 5 days before I reported the damage to them. I called Ashley again. They told me that there is nothing I can do. Furniture that I paid good money for, that was broken before I had it a month and they won't repair it!!!! I am VERY upset!!!!!!

For this day my wife didn't go to the work, wait for delivery. Unfortunately it never made nor nobody call. Waited for 22 still did not came. I call them. Nobody answered. I went there. I ask what happened. Lady at customer service said, "Nobody schedule for this date and next delivery date we can make next Thursday about a week later." I was going crazy. I said "what kind of customers service is this?" I said "I don't want it. Cancel the order." Manager said "you can canceled because of contract." What kind of services. Hard to believe. I said I will file a complaint to Better business Bureau. He said go ahead.

    I guess never go there again and never pay upfront for anything. This is a big bad experience and expensive too. This thing happened at the Ledgewood, NJ ASHLEY FURNITURE STORE. BETTER NOT GO THERE OR DO NOT PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT.

    We purchased a leather Ashley sectional sofa several years ago when we redecorated our house. It was sold as a leather match piece with top grain leather on the cushions. This piece is in a room that is not used on a daily basis. We have no pets or children. We did notice the wrinkling of the leather on the cushions only not too long after purchasing it. Huge chunks of a very thin leather coating have now peeled off everywhere that the wrinkling began. The piece of furniture was approximately $1500.

    We took the cushions back to Ashley Home Store where I purchased it but they could not help. The salespeople did provide me a list of businesses in the Birmingham area that sell upholstery fabrics and maybe I could match the fabric myself. One of the larger fabric stores examined the fabric on the cushion and told me I had not in fact purchased a top grain leather piece. Real leather does not do this. Ashley used either a blended or bonded leather on the cushions. I understand the piece I purchased only had a one year warranty on fabric but it was sold as top grain leather on the cushions and leather match on the rest of the sofa and it; in fact it, was not leather at all.

    I contacted the Ashley Furniture Corporate Consumer Affairs office in Arcadia, WI but they refused responsibility. I requested that they at least give me some kind of credit toward purchasing a fabric sectional but they refused to do so. I am so disappointed in Ashley Furniture. I thought they were a reputable furniture company and they certainly are anything but that.

    I purchased a couch, loveseat and oversized chair with ottoman from Ashley Furniture in Scottsbluff, NE. I received my set November 20th, 2012 and purchased the warranty through Ashley furniture for $160.00. The saleslady that sold it to us said that this warranty covered anything... "even if your kids spilled something on the cushions" they would fix it or replace it. Well a couple of days after receiving the furniture my husband sat down on it and rested his arm on the armrest and it made a very annoying "loud popping" noise like the armrest was hollow or something. We didn't think too much about it and after having it in our home for one month (December 2012) discovered that all of the pieces did the same thing. After the busy holidays were over we decided to contact the store in Scottsbluff, NE in March 2013 and tell them about the situation. They said they would come and collect the pieces and fix them to our satisfaction. By the time they came to pick them up it was May 2013...

    We received the first piece back in July and when they delivered it to our home NOTHING had been fixed!!! Still made the same annoying loud popping noise. We called the store in Scottsbluff, NE back and told them that they didn't fix the problem after having our piece for 1 month! We were informed that the problem was due to "people sitting on it". I was infuriated and told them that if they had actually taken the piece apart to inspect it they would see that it was because of the way the pieces had been put together (very poor quality!!!!) and that there was no way that the problem could have been because of someone sitting on it!!! If there was any case that should have qualified for the warranty it should have been THIS ONE... defect in the manufacture of the product!!!!! I will never purchase another Ashley Furniture piece in my life. It it cheaply made and they do not stand behind the quality of it!!! Very, very disappointed.

They called me and informed me that the deliver would be between 1215 and 4:15pm on Aug 10, ‘13.

After waiting the whole afternoon for my purchase, I was very disappointed to see the items use - it look used. It was dirty, have two big holes in the bottom of the ottoman. The sofa pillows were dirty and looked like it had been on the floor of the truck. I looked inside the truck and the sofa and love seat were standing on its end arm up against the rear of the truck uncovered. I have no choice but reject the hold order. I could not accept these items in its condition. So now I must set and wait for them to reschedule another deliver. However, cancellation of this order may be in order. On Monday I will contact the corporate office about issue.

    I had bought several pieces of Ashley furniture in the past without really knowing what I was doing. It's not horrible furniture, it falls under the old saying "You get what you pay for”. Mostly foreign made stuff, cushions that you can't re-stuff or add filling to, attached sofa cushions that sag in a short amount of time. Look at the tag and in this case made in the USA matters when it comes to furniture. I have had great luck with Broyhill and Best furniture. Middle of the road stuff, made in USA and better made than 95% of the foreign stuff you will see. Flexsteel is top of the line stuff that will last your lifetime and your kids but high $. I always go with Best or Broyhill because I want it to last 15-20 years...Ashley furniture is FINE for like a kid’s college dorm or something...not much else...unless you have very little $...then you may not have a choice.

I did not have any communication after 3weeks also and called them.

    Called the store couple of times and did not get seals rep/manager on line. Have to visit the store and got confirmation that the set will deliver in 3days.

    I purchased a sectional on July 8, 2013 and was told that the chaise did not show an availability date but that someone would call me later that day with the date. No one called so I called Ashley the following day and was told there was still no availability date. I voiced my concern that the 48 hour time frame to receive a full refund would expire but was told they would call me in the morning with a date. Still no one called so I called and was given an availability date of August 7. I was picking the furniture up from their warehouse so I told them it would be August 9.

    I received a phone call from "customer care" today, August 6, and was told the sectional would not be available until August 20. I objected saying had I known it would be six weeks before I would receive it, I would have cancelled in the 48 hour full refund window but instead I was misled and now I'm told it is the fault of the manufacturer and the policy stands. By the way, the manufacturer is Ashley Industries. I then asked to speak to a supervisor who was no help and not understanding at all. My next step was to call the store to see if they could help.

    I made a huge MISTAKE again! I should have learned the first time that I purchased furniture from Ashley but I didn't figure it could possibly happen again. I purchased a bar and 3 bar chairs with a value of approx. $2500.00. The morning of the delivery I received a phone call stating that the top for the bar was broken and they wanted to know if they should come and deliver the rest of the bar or not? I told them to come on as I was already at home waiting on them. When they arrived they started to bring the chairs into the house and I happened to go outside and see that the bar was sitting close to the door so I went to have a look at it and noticed that it had a scratch on the side of the bar and also a few scratches on the footrest. I mentioned it to one of the delivery guys and I also mentioned that I didn't want it "REPARED".

    I went into the house and by the time I went back out the other delivery guy had tried to fix the scratch. I told them that this was unacceptable. They then proceeded to say that they would re-order the top and the bar. They left and I went back into the house. We then started to look at the bar chairs (value of $329.00 each) and upon closer inspection noticed that 2 of the chairs had some defects. I went to Ashley's and explained the issue and initially was told that they would order me 2 new chairs. A couple of days later my sales rep called me and point blank told me that they would not be replacing the chairs and would send someone out to have a look and fix them. I told her not to bother and told her that I would fix it myself because I will fix it better than one of their service techs. I also told her that it will be the last time that I make the mistake of buying from Ashley Furniture.

    As stated from many people once they have your money that's all that counts. Customer service SUCKS!! I purchased brand new furniture that they mess up during the delivery process and then they expect that they can FIX my brand new furniture instead of replacing it like any self-respecting company would do. If anybody from Ashley Furniture is reading this here is a bit of advice. The BRAND NEW furniture that people are purchasing from you should remain in the original packaging until it arrives at the customer’s house. This packaging is meant to protect the furniture from damage until delivered! STOP trying to cram in as much items as possible in order to be able to save money on delivery costs, hence removing packaging to be able to fit more in a truck.

    Just my personal experience has cost a lot of money to the company on 2 occasions that I purchased from Ashley so it is obviously jacking up the cost of the furniture in order to cover all of their mistakes. This is the LAST TIME that I will purchase anything from Ashley Furniture and I advise other consumers to BEWARE before buying.

    My experience at the store was awesome! The folks were patient and very helpful. One thing - we were told that the 14-piece set we had bought was in stock (this helped make our final decision), just to learn that they lied. Our delivery date was set for 7 days after the purchase.

    I am giving them 1 star because I had the worst experience on the day of delivery. We were scheduled from 12-4pm and with my luck I had a good feeling we would be the last delivery. I waited until 4pm before making my first call. I was told they were running behind and it would be 15-20 minutes. 40 minutes later I called again to get an exact ETA and after being on hold for 15 minutes, I was told that the driver was still working on the last drop-off and that it would be another 15 min (you can imagine how irritated I was at this point).

    I called them 30 minutes later and kept getting a voicemail. Twice I was told that a manager would call me in 10 minutes... It is Monday and still no call from the manager. Furniture arrived at 6:20pm. The horrible service doesn't end there. We checked the furniture and it all looked fine. I took a step back to enjoy our new furniture and noticed dents and scratches on my wall. I just moved in a 8 days ago!!!!! C'mon now, seriously? Beware... you have been warned.

    Given a window of 3 to 7 pm for furniture delivery. Never called to say running late but suppose to be only 1 hour late. By 930pm I cancelled delivery and called store to cancel order. At 955pm delivery driver called and was parked out front and wanted to know if I still wanted to cancel. I let them come in and after talking to store I agreed to take it but they were suppose to refund delivery fee of 125 dollars. Never got a credit and my furniture finally entered my home at 10pm.

    Be careful! Very disappointed with their service! Salesman tells you what you want to hear till you show them cash or your credit card. Then once they have that info and the sale, the story changes as in my case. I was told I can switch out my couches if they were not what I liked and when I called saying I wasn't satisfied I was told, "Oh we NEVER said that! THE COUCHES ARE YOURS now but I will see what I can do for you." This was just to blow me off like I expected, because I never received a call back! I would only expect this type of service from a crooked car dealership! but for buying couches!?! Just be careful! Make sure they put what they say in writing!

    We bought two recliners. They had a limited warranty on the springs. We had two springs that broke in one of the chairs. We called customer service. They said they would send someone out for $87.00 to inspect and see if it was a manufacturing defect. I said, "I only wanted the two springs, I did not need them installed." They called back and said the item was discontinued and they could not get the parts even though the warranty was still within the time frame. I consider this the poorest form of customer service! They did not even attempt to help us solve our problem, just blew us off. Bad form for a company that spends in the millions advertising to get customers in their store and then will not take care of them when they have even a simple problem!!!!

    I spent over $600 and purchased a mattress from Ashley's in May 2013. Just after 2 weeks, I feel the area which I slept is sinking down. I called Customer Service right away and they sent a tech out to inspect this sink area. The tech took some measurements and filed his report. He agreed the sink area which I point out is much softer than other areas and he noticed the difference; however, my mattress was not considered to be defective in his measurement. I called the Customer Service again, but have been told as the mattress was not defective based on their measurement, there is no refund, no exchange.

    I told them the quality of the mattress is clearly bad. It's sinking down only after 2 weeks, and the Tech also agreed. I just cannot keep sleeping on such horrible quality of mattress. They refused to offer any option or help, keeping tell me nothing they can do and call them back if the mattress sinking more, then at the end they hang up the phone very rudely. I want to warn everyone that Ashley Furniture sells defective and sinking mattresses, and they have terrible customer service!

    I ordered a full bedroom set from the Glen Burnie store before Memorial Weekend 2013. Upon delivery, the nightstand had a ski slope corner type damage. The drawer cannot be pulled out....All that you can see is split unstained wood. The dresser was delivered with an obvious defect that had been wood puddled, sanded and re-stained to a darker color than rest of dresser. I emailed pics of damage and after no response for a month, I finally called again and was told that they need to send a technician out to look and possibly fix damaged furniture. If I wanted furniture that needed to be restored, I would have bought furniture at a thrift store and paid to have it restored.

    I paid cash for all of my furniture and I expect new furniture. I was told by Shannon, a so-called manager, that she would call me back by 5 today. Surprise, no call! This has been going on for 8 weeks and no tech has come out to look at furniture and no calls either! Manager is useless. He says once its sold customers must deal with their lame ** non-responding customer service dept. I filed a claim with the Better Business today and they promise to take action against Ashley in 20 days if Ashley doesn't fix the problems before. I don't want them to fix the furniture, I want the new furniture without defects like I paid for.

    Approximately a year ago, we decided to replace our sofa and stopped at a local furniture store. Now let me preface by saying that I've sold furniture for a total of well over 10 year over the course of my 40 years in the job market. Anyway, my wife and I were looking at a leather power loveseat, and the salesperson began talking with us and my first question was "Who makes this?" Salesperson says "Ashley". My comment was that they sell cheap furniture. The salesperson said they improved the line. I said "Is this leather or vinyl?" LEATHER, I said real leather. Salesperson: "Yes, real leather, except non wear areas like the back and sides."

    So being the person who tries to save a buck where I can, I ask if I could save few dollars by taking the item off the floor. After some negotiation, we made a deal. We took delivery and all was well. That was on Tuesday. Sunday, not thinking much about it, I put flea stuff on one of my Persians who was sleeping on the loveseat. Went off to church, return a few hours later and noticed a small spot on the arm rest. Then another spot about the size of a quarter and when I touched the spots the finish came off in my hand. Now realizing that I cause the damage, I just said dumb me.

    But as the day wore on, I started noticing more and more defects. Maybe because now I'm more aware of a potential problem. Now I see an area that has been previously touched up by the store which I didn't see before. So I called the store "Many times". Finally after repeated calls, I was told they were sending someone to look at it. A repairman came. Very nice man. Made the repairs and assure us that would fix the problem. Well didn't. We went through many phone calls only to be told in the end that Ashley didn't warranty the item because it was off the floor. That didn't make sense since the retailer paid full price for the item. I was just a way to wiggle out of the warranty.

    As many others have stated, not only is Ashley furniture "JUNK", they will stand behind the product. The leather is coated with a vinyl protective layer, which even to a simpleton means it is "VINYL", not leather as stated. What good is leather when it is coated with cheap polyvinyl chloride that comes off if you touch it with hand lotions or anything. Even perspiration removes the finish. Very poor quality. Don't waste your money.

    The incident in question occurred at approximately noon on July 6, 2013 at the Frederick branch of Ashley Furniture. My fiancée, her mother and I were shopping for furniture. We spotted a dining room set that was marked at approximately $349 that included a glass top table and 4 chairs. The sales associate was very courteous and pleasant. Unfortunately, when he went to ring up the sale, his manager did not allow the transaction to occur. I politely asked the sales associate if I could speak with his manager. When we spoke to the manager, he said that there was a mistake and he could only sell the piece for $478. My response was that it is misleading and unfair for him to advertise one price but refuse to sell it at that price. My fiancée’s mother even offered $400, but the manager rudely declined and walked away.

    As an aside, my fiancée and her mother are Chinese-born Asian Americans who were speaking Mandarin to each other during the interaction. The manager did not seem to take kindly to this and was very rude and disrespectful during his interaction with my fiancée and her mother.

    Nonetheless, I requested the number to their corporate offices and the names of the sales representative and store manager, to which the staff obliged. I asked the sales representative if I could have the original sticker price so that I may take a picture of the price tag for evidence. Regrettably, he tried, but his manager refused to give us that piece of evidence. We then asked the sales associate if we could speak with the manager again, but the manager refused to speak to us. Instead of making a scene, we cordially walked away and decided to voice our frustrations both to their corporate offices and the Better Business Bureau.

    I also want to make it clear that the sales associate was very pleasant during this entire ordeal. His kindness in the face of a difficult situation was admirable and he deserves praise. However, the manager was unfriendly, unprofessional, spiteful and unethical in his actions.

    I purchased a sofa on Memorial Day which was supposed to be delivered on 6/29/2013 within the delivery window of 12-5. I had asked the sales rep if I could make special delivery notations on my account; he said yes. I told him that I have a class at 11-12 and that it’s a 20-25 minute bus ride home. He said that's fine and he would make a note on my account that the delivery personnel should call an hour before delivery. The driver called me at 10am attempting to make a 10:30 delivery. I told him he can be at my house by the latest at 10:20, it’s cool. He said no, it’s either 10:30 or the latest at 11:30. Please remember, the delivery window is 12-5pm. By 10:45, he was ordered to return the sofa to the warehouse and inform me that I would be charged a re-delivery fee.

    The delivery company told me to go to the store and speak to the manager. I arrived at the store promptly at 12:44 and the manager said that he would speak to the manager and call me back. The call came at 8:30pm that night. I was settled in bed, tired and drained from all the aggravation they put me through. He said I had to pay a re-delivery fee or a re-stocking fee for delivery. He refused to give me information to contact corporate, stating he is the main point of contact for his boss and there is no district manager or anyone higher than the general manager. This company is a rip off and I believe that as customers who have been wronged, we should come together and file complaints with the FTC (Federal Trade commission) to spark an investigation into this company's shady business practices.

    We purchased furniture for 2 households. First to be delivered on Mother's Day were a sectional with chaise and ottoman, a kitchen nook, and king bed and metal frame. They called the Saturday before as expected to notify us that the ottoman was backordered and had to reschedule the entire order? Not one item, but all. Following Sunday, order arrived without the ottoman (it was damaged) and this time, no one let us know of this ahead of time. Next order came as scheduled but missing a queen bed frame, nightstand, and chest of drawers! I called customer service and it was again manufacture delay and “We are sorry but they won't be in until the following week.”

    I received a call to come to store to pick up the 2 queen pillows we also ordered. I drove 20 minutes to the store to pick them up and no pillows. “We sold them to someone else.” Bed finally came a week later and was damaged. I called corporate offices again and complained and they said they can’t send anyone out for 10 days. I told them if our final order doesn't come on time, that I want a refund on my delivery charges since I cannot cancel anything due to final sale, which was a lie also. The only reason we went to shop there was they were moving locations and wanted to clear out inventory? But none of the furniture we purchased came from any warehouse; it came from manufacturer.

    So Wednesday, June 26, was the last order to be delivered and of course, the Sunday before they call because of another delay? So again, I called the corporate offices and now they cannot refund any delivery fees on already delivered items. But for the last delivery, they will give us store credit for the delivery fee. Why the hell would I spend another dime of my hard-earned money!? But to me, they breached our contract and I have no way to fight them! Never ever purchase from this company EVER!

    In accordance with the terms and agreement of writing my review and remaining fair, I will simply state the facts and you decide if my rating is appropriate. Please pay very close attention to the timeline. On April 19, 2013, I selected a bedroom set to accommodate my son who was returning from the United States Army in one month. On April 19, 2013, the Ashley representative drafted the contract and I paid for my merchandise that day. The representative advised that the computers were down but it would take approximately two weeks for delivery.

    April 19 through May 5, 2013, not one word from Ashley Furniture. On May 6, 2013, I contacted the sales manager and inquired the status of my bedroom suite. She advised that an Ashley representative alleged to have called me already (not sure what date) and notified me that shipping and delivery would be pushed out until July 2013. I adamantly debated that anyone contacted me with such a notification. Had I received a notice, I would have come in and reselected a bedroom suite that would not take three months. (And no, this bedroom is not special made, Italian, etc. It’s on the floor and supposedly available.) Because this process had gotten so stressful, the sales manager credited me back $100 for the delivery fee and an option to cancel my order. I was not in a position to cancel and re-shop because my son's arrival was forthcoming and time was of the essence.

    On June 4, 2013 (my son had come and gone), a Hertz moving van pulled in front of my home and delivered the bed and the media stand. This delivery is minus my chest and nightstands. I contacted Ashley and asked when will the remaining furniture be shipped, and was advised a June 23, 2013 date by the sales manager. As of June 24, 2013, I have not heard one word from Ashley; however, I have received an invoice for the bed and the media stand. Now, aside from my emotions, the inconvenience, the lack of customer service (relative to being notified), breach of contract (2 week delivery) and having to sleep on the floor for approximately two months and not being able to accommodate my son (US Army) being home on a pass, does my 1 star rating seem FAIR? What did I do to deserve such customer service? And is a $100 delivery credit supposed to make me feel better?

    I purchased a leather couch and recliner including an extended leather warranty in January 2013. We were told the warranty covered anything and everything even if our son ripped it with a toy. The chair was ripped pulling it out of the box. They would not return it and RELUCTANTLY fixed it "as a courtesy.” It never really looked great but we didn't want to keep fighting. We accidentally ripped the chair about a month ago during a move and we've been now fighting with them ever since. They didn't want to fix it. They sent us the leather and told us to fix it ourselves. And the warranty specifically states if a third party works on the chair, our warranty is voided!!!

    BEFORE we moved the couch, we noticed a support bar in the back of the couch was about to poke through the leather. They again reluctantly fixed that telling me we should've called them before we moved it. I told them I was paying $130 per hour for movers. I couldn't wait two weeks for them to come look at it. Managers won't take our calls or return our calls. Sometimes, they will email us... and that's a BIG sometimes!! And the final straw was last week. I called the store to have someone explain the leather warranty.

    By the end of the conversation with Cindy at the Henderson, NV store, she told me she was tired of me bashing Ashley and her and ** you, then hung up on me. When I called back to tell a manager, she couldn't care less. Going into the store the next day to speak to a different manager, she didn't care either. What a joke this company is!!! It's bad enough the furniture is already falling apart less than 6 months later, but the staff and managers are a complete joke and a waste of time. NEVER EVER EVER buy from Ashley Furniture again.

Second mattress, the same thing. On the third, I asked if they were going to replace the box spring as well and they said no. The third mattress is making a lot of noise. There are no handles to change the mattress around. The store sent out a TECH. He told me it was the box spring and there should be handles on the side to change the mattress around. He also told me the support was good under the box spring. He reported something different. He wrote in his report that there was nothing wrong and the foundation was not properly supported.

    The only thing is I was unhappy with the merchandise because of his lies. The store is refusing to take this mattress and box spring back. The tech lied and said he understood why I was so upset and he would take care of it. Yeah, he took care of it okay. It is very unfair I have to deal with this squeaky mattress and box spring. I want Ashley to come and get this mess of a mattress and box spring out of my house and I never want to hear anything else from them again. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated.

    I went to Ashley Furniture in McDonough, Georgia to purchase three bedroom suites and a kitchen set. I spent just under $3,000 for three beds, three dressers, one night stand, and a kitchen set. They had NO trouble cashing my check immediately, but apparently giving me what I paid for was too much for them to handle.

    I have a disabled child, so one of my beds was a trundle. I was promised a delivery date about three weeks from time of purchase, which I thought was excessive, but I dealt with it. I arranged to have my old furniture sold the night before the delivery date, which I did.

    ONE DAY before it was to be delivered, I was informed by their call center that one bed would not be coming. Then I was informed it was on ORDER and would not be available for another month! I was livid and contacted the local store who acted like I had grown ten horns and had no idea what I was talking about.

    The delivery people came and brought 1 bed, which they put together very badly and it fell when my daughter sat on it. My husband had to use reinforcements to fix it. No trundle came (which I was not informed of) and no second bed (the one they told me would be late). There were scratches all over my kitchen table as well. The delivery people were rude and acted like they were put out to have to put furniture together. They left trash all over my house, stopped my flowers in my front flower bed, and told me to call the store with my complaint.

    It turns out the trundle I paid for was never ordered. The saleswoman, Nicole, ordered it wrong and all that came was the covering for the trundle and not the trundle itself. The other bed, they claimed, would be in by the next week (not the month that the call center so rudely claimed). The store manager brought me a "loaner" trundle which was black (the bed was brown wood) to use. I was also promised a $100 gift certificate that I never got.

    They brought the bed that was originally to be late and once again, did not want to put it together. Once I insisted, they did, but screwed it in wrong and it can't be moved or it will fall. The trundle came two weeks after that. Worst experience ever. I will never use or recommend Ashley Furniture to anyone, ever.

    I went to the store in Laguna Hills, CA and shopped around all other stores. I returned here because the couch set worked out best for my living room. I bought 2 leather couches, a rocker recliner with tables, lamps and a rug with accessories. I spent just under $2,300. The salesman promised delivery would be about 18 days later. He promised me that the stuff was in stock, but that was the earliest delivery date available. It seemed like a long time away, but I really liked the couches. About 2 days before delivery, they called and told me I will not be receiving one of my couches and the rocker recliner until a month after my purchase date. I was angry but I figured I could get by with one couch since I had already disposed of my old furniture.

    When the delivery guy showed up, he only had one couch, 2 lamps and an accessory set to go on a table. He didn't have any tables for me. He stated everything was on backorder and they would call me with the next delivery date. A couple days later, they called and said the remainder of my order will be delivered over 2 months after I purchased them. I contacted their corporate headquarters and explained everything. I requested that they give me all my money back and come pick up the stuff they delivered. Corporate said they can't do that. They don't control the money side. Corporate took my number and called me back later that day. Corporate said they were able to find me the remainder of my order and they will have it delivered in a couple weeks, which is now about a month and a half after I purchased everything. I was okay with that so I agreed.

    Once again, a couple of days before they deliver, they called to inform me I will not be getting my rocker recliner on this next delivery. Now I'm really angry. I contacted corporate again and they said there is nothing they can do for me. They too are surprised that I have to wait over two months for furniture after I already paid for it. I called the store I bought it from and spoke with the manager. She said there is nothing she can do for me. I asked for my money back and told them they could come get the stuff they delivered because it's just sitting in a room waiting for tables. She said I can't return the stuff.

    On April 6, 2013 my wife and I went to Ashley Furniture Home Store in Frederick, Maryland to purchase a bedroom set. Two salespersons, Corinne ** (a middle-aged male), assisted us with the purchase of a Shay Contemporary Bedroom Collection which includes a queen poster bed. We were interested in the bed with storage drawer, so we requested to see a display of it. We were told that we could not see a display because it was not available at that location. We did not want to purchase the bed without seeing it with the storage. However, they convinced us so we went ahead and purchased it. When Corrine and her sales partner gave us the total, it was almost $11,000. That was a little bit out of our budget, so we negotiated and got it down to $994.69.

    The delivery truck came on May 10th. After they set up the bed, my wife asked where the storage drawers were. The delivery guys knew nothing of a storage unit. However, they wanted us to sign the receipt of the furniture. We refused to sign, so they called and handed us over to customer service. The customer service representative urged us to sign and they will take care of the storage drawer later. She then transferred us to a sales manager, who transferred us to another sales manager. Eventually, we realized that they were giving us the runaround.

    Finally, I was able to speak with a person on May 13th, who identified himself that he is the general manager. He stated that he was aware of the issue and the only thing he could do is ship me the drawers for $150. I rejected that offer because that was not what the agreement was. I told him that if I have to pay extra, he should take back the bed and let me choose something else. He then said in order for him to take back the bed, I would lose the $150 for delivery. He would charge me 30% for restocking fee, pay another $150 for delivery of the new bed and return the bed myself.

    In the end, I don't think my wife and I should be penalized for the mistake or the deception of the sales staff. They told us we were getting the bed with the storage drawers at the price listed in the store, but switched without us noticing it.

    I purchased a couch and loveseat set 2 to 3 years ago. It was supposedly leather, sand in color. Over the past few months, the leather started peeling, leaving green areas all over the seats. I called Ashley customer service and was told by Nancy that there was nothing the company could do since it was out of warranty. Perhaps, in some way, I caused the problem. Well, the furniture was not abused in any way nor was it in direct sunlight. The problem is with the material used. So, I would encourage anyone who is thinking about purchasing any type of Ashley furniture to think twice before spending money. The items you want may look nice now, but will probably turn into junk within a short time. And if you try to speak with Ashley's customer service, you will find them to be abrupt, rude, and unhelpful. I will never do business again with this company and would strongly suggest that if you are furniture shopping, go with a reputable company who will stand by its product and is willing to work with its customers.

    I will never buy furniture from Ashley again. The quality is horrible. I bought the insurance on everything except the master bedroom set and, of course, it was a mistake. When we spent several thousand dollars, we were maxed out of money and decided not to. I truly believe when you do not purchase the insurance, they sent you damaged merchandise, hoping you will not notice the problems until it's too late. Then there is nothing you can do about it. The drawers do not open and close right. There is a large crack on the bottom of one of the dressers and there are nicks in so many places.

    When the bedroom set was delivered, I noticed the deliveryman touching up the furniture with a marker. The mirror was very foggy and they had to send another one. Good thing I noticed it when I was cleaning it after he left. When the portable bar was delivered, there were no clips for the shelves. We waited six weeks for them to come in the mail. I do not feel like I received what I paid for. Very disappointing with this furniture in our new home!

    My wife and I purchased a large TV table and a large coffee table. I even brought in a tape measure and measured both pieces in front of the salesman to see if they would fit in both SUVs that we own. Since they were of the proper size to fit, we told him that we would pick them up from the warehouse when they came in from their main warehouse. To our amazement, when we went to pick them up after they called me, the furniture was not assembled... just in flat cardboard boxes. It was then that we were told that there would have been a "$25 assembly fee", which we would have paid if the salesman had just told us the truth. We are over 70 years old and cannot get down on our hands and knees to assemble furniture. We will NEVER go into an Ashley furniture store again, much less purchase anything from them. We learned the hard way that their sales people do not tell the truth.

    I purchased a sofa that had 2 recliners on each side. I also purchased two recliners separately. Both recliners broke to the point that you were not able to sit in them, only after 3 years. Then a couple weeks after, the one recliner section of the sofa broke. I called Ashley, because I remember purchasing the extended warranty. My first phone call involved the woman telling me that they were no longer under warranty. I found my copy of my purchase order and it clearly stated that the extended warranty was for 5 years. I called them back and they asked me to complete a report.

    After a while, the extended warranty department, Montague, called and told me that they would send a representative out. They did and he explained that the parts were no longer available and that he would have to send out for a universal part. Well, we received 3 big boxes for the universal pieces, only to find out that they would not work. The gentleman left all of the boxes in my formal living room without me even seeing them. With all of this, about 3-4 months have passed. Then we were told to re-select.

    We were given an amount and we picked out our replacement pieces. The following day, we were told that the amount they issued was incorrect!!! I am furious!! No one knows what the heck is going on there at all. Approximately five months have passed and more frustration. They will not even pick up the delivery charge. Was it my fault that I already paid for them to deliver the original pieces that broke and now I have to pay again!! Each time I called Ashley and Montague I got a different story.

    I bought on April 17, 2013 and they delivered on May 3, 2013 - so long. I sat in the sofa the next day for an hour. To my surprise, it sank and the back of the 3-piece sofa, you can see all the frame. There was no way I will put it facing the entrance so I had to relocate. The material on this sofa is so cheap and hard. I went to complain at the store to cancel everything and this chick, the second to the left with long black hair, young and ugly attitude, once I mentioned that I wanted to cancel my purchase, raised her voice and said that I had 48 hours to cancel. How can I cancel? They took more than 48 hours to deliver my purchase. How will I know your stuff is no good? What a personality; they really got ghetto. Never buy from this store.

    This is the worst furniture in the world. We spent a great deal of money purchasing a bedroom set 2.5 years ago. The entire right and left bottom frames of the bed cracked and fell apart. Customer service is totally useless. I am willing to purchase the two pieces that I need, but I can only imagine that they will cost the same as an entire bed because Ashley is such an honest company - not! I've told everyone I know to never ever buy from Ashley, and I will continue to spread the word.

    In January, we bought a 3-piece living room set. We purchased the extended warranty. The set cost over $1,500 +over $200 for delivery. My husband asked the salesman if he could pick it up himself. Salesman said, "Sure, save yourself a few bucks!" Salesman neglected to tell him that if you pick it up yourself, it voided the extended warranty you just purchased. Slick! One month after buying the set, my adult son sat on the sofa to watch TV and we heard a crack. The frame cracked. I called Ashley, the warranty company and the salesman over and over. The salesman would have the warranty company call me and they would tell me it's a manufacturer's problem. This went on for a month till the warranty company told me that the frame was not covered by the extended warranty! If you sit on this crap and it breaks, you're ** outta luck. Okay, we were screwed royally! My husband opened the bottom of the couch to see if he could fix it. There are staples not nails or screws holding this crap together. The wood was cheapest grade, knotty and warped. It was built to break! Oh, and the chair & 1/2 I just noticed about a month ago, the frame is falling apart in the back.

    What happened is I bought a 100% leather couch and loveseat. Just the couch costs about $1,400. I thought it is a good name and company and it was quality to last. I asked the salesman if anything happens, will they be able to fix it. He said of course anytime, so I went ahead and bought the 5-year warranty. After 15 months, the leather of the couch started to crack by itself. I took care of it. It was just a simple wear. I didn't have any pets or kids that could have messed it up.

    But when I went to get it fixed exactly as I asked with pictures, they refused to fix the couch because my manufacturer's warranty had expired the one year date. But the 5-year warranty only covers accidents or burns so my couch was not fixed from the cracks. I don't understand why I am supposed to buy expensive material like this that only lasts for 15 months! Why should they just take my money while I'm stuck with a $1,400 scratched couch? I do not recommend Ashley Furniture store. It's just a big name with bad material.

    On 1/31/13 I ordered an oversize TV stand that I had been told by the salesman several times was not a stand that would have to be put together. I was told I may have to put the shelves in the TV stand, but it will be built and put together at the factory. Upon picking it up at the warehouse, it was a very flat box that was clearly a put together TV stand. I refused it. The warehouse called the Arlington, TX store and I talked to a person named Terrance, who was very rude. He kept arguing with me telling me the TV stand was what I had ordered, etc. He said I would have to wait several days before I could come into the store to get a credit because the store manager was not in that day.

    I left and drove right to the store and upon entering asked who the manager was. I was told the manager was not in that day, but the acting manager was Nelda ** and she was walking towards the front of the store where I was standing. I was greeted by her with a smile and handshake. She asked if she could help and I said yes and explained the situation. She said she understood and took me back to the counter for someone to write up a credit for my credit card. I was told by Ms. **, Terrance who was sitting behind the counter would be writing up a credit for me. Terrance had to be told by Ms. ** several times to write up the credit. He didn't seem to want to do this and it was then that Terrance became rude with me asking me several questions, one right after another, like why I didn't want a put together stand? What was the difference between a put together stand that I had to put together and one that was put together by the factory? The questions went on and on.

    I did not feel it was necessary for me to tell the clerk that worked for Ashley furniture again what the reason was for my not taking the TV stand when I had already told him on the phone from the warehouse why it was that I did not want it. What should have been a very quick action by Terrance, a store clerk, to process a credit to my credit card for what they sold me under false terms, ended up taking about 25-30 minutes with the acting manager Nelda **, telling him several times to go ahead and do the paperwork.

    Ask me if I want to go back to a store that told me the TV stand didn't have to be put back together when it indeed did… Ask me if I want to do business with a company that allows their store clerk to argue with the customer to get a refund when the acting manager has already requested he do the paperwork. No! Let me repeat that… No… No… No! I will never ever do business with Ashley furniture again. Horrible experience. I can see why there are so many complaints on the internet about people's bad experience with Ashley stores, when a store clerk thinks he can override what a store manager is telling him he needs to do is in the wrong job and employed by the wrong company.

    We bought 546 Sectional on February 23, 2012 for $1927.05 which included $114 insurance at American Furniture/Ashley Furniture. On 02/04/2013 at 10:22am, I called American Furniture to see what I can do about a tear in the console, plastic tray broke and the seats on both sides of the loveseat were flat. I was told at that time to send pictures to ** with a description as to what is wrong with the loveseat. On 02/05/2013, I sent the email as instructed. I did not hear from anyone for more than six days, so I called and spoke to Ms. Kerry there on 02/13/2013 at 4:43pm. She said that the parts had been ordered and to call Tuesday 02-19-2013. I called on 02/19/2013 at 10:26am and spoke to Ms. Kerry again. She took all my information again and said she will get this taken care of. This is still under manufacturer's warranty.

    I called again on 02/25/13 at 11:12am and spoke to Ms. Kerry again. She said it could take 7-14 days to get parts but was not able to give me an ETA on parts. She said when parts came in, give them a call and their service department will schedule a time to install new parts on the loveseat. I called back on 03/13/2013 at 1:1pm to let them know that some of the parts did come in but not all were there. Ms. Kerry said to call Frank at the warehouse. I called Frank right after I spoke to Ms. Kerry and told him that the lid to the console and large tray was not in with the other items that we received in. I called back on 03/22/2013 and spoke to Frank at the warehouse and he said they had a large backorder and they have not shipped yet. We finally got all parts in by April 02, 2013 and called Frank. He said if they come out to pick the loveseat up, it would cost us a flat $60 fee. We chose to take to them. We took the couch on 04/05/2013 and they said it would be ready by Saturday afternoon. They never called for us to come pick it up.

    On Monday, Frank called to say that they never got to fix the love seat but would have it ready to be delivered on Monday afternoon. They brought the love seat back on 04/08/2013. When I got home, my husband said for me to check out the couch. Right away, you could see that the right side as you were sitting was lower than the left side. Plus, the tray had a high side with the corner sticking up. I emailed Bremond again to let him know that the couch was not fixed. I received a call from Frank and said he was sending his driver back out to pick up the loveseat at no charge to us on 04/13/2013. I showed the young man that came out what was wrong with the loveseat. He apologized and said he was the one that fixed it but may have pulled too tight and he would fix the tray. We got the couch back the next working day on 04/15/2013. It did look like the seats were fixed. All in all, it took better than two months to get that loveseat fixed. I am not a happy person regarding this sectional I paid a lot of money for.

    The problems we had with the love seat, it should have never happened. It is just me and my husband there and we both work and are not home that much. The most time we sit on either the couch or love seat is on the weekend when we are home. I am very disappointed in the poor quality in this sectional. When we buy furniture, we buy it to last but this junk that you sold us has proven to be of very poor quality. We will never buy from American Furniture or Ashley Furniture ever again. If I could trade it in for something else, I would in a heartbeat. This is how much I hate this sectional now. Your turnaround on getting something fixed really takes way too long. Very unhappy customers! Now, the couch seats are going bad and it has only been one year two months and five days since we bought this sectional.

When the rep called for a follow up, she said the tech said the chair was up to standards and they won't do anything for me. (Everyone who comes to my house notices the chair is squashed and no one will sit on it because it's so uncomfortable.)

    Ashley Furniture deliverymen would not bring a bedroom set into the house unless we signed a damage waiver, exonerating them from all responsibility to our walls, floors, carpets and ceiling. This is both absurd and far outside the delivery contract. Our home was prepared for delivery in every respect, including the removal of a front entry storm door, all furnishings in the room and en route to the room. Even the dog (a mini schnauzer) was crated and fresh coffee was brewed for the delivery crew. However, their arrogant attitude and demand that a waiver be signed before the delivery could be made was too much.

    We called and demanded a refund but got stonewalled by the store manager who tossed about a corporate runaround. We thought Ashley’s furniture could be trusted. We were terribly mistaken. We asked for a refund and to close the account and are now stuck in a quagmire of corporate nonsense.

    My boyfriend and I went into Ashley's in Bryant, AR on March 14, 2013 to purchase a bedroom set. At the time, the sales rep helping us was nice and very helpful. We picked out a bedroom set, mattress and lamps/comforter set. When I went to pay for everything (I paid 100% of the total upfront), the girl behind the counter had no idea what she was doing. It took her at least 30 minutes just to enter in everything. She kept leaving out items or adding double items. I should've known then to just walk away (if only).

    I was told that delivery, if in stock, would be about a week; If not at the most, it would be 3 weeks. So that would have given me a date of April 4. That day came and I had heard nothing yet so I called. After being bounced around and told someone else would call me, I finally talked to someone who told me some of my pieces were on back order and would take a few more weeks. I was not happy but I had no choice but to accept that. Finally, I was given a call a few days ago that my furniture will be here tomorrow, 3 weeks after what should have been my original delivery date.

    I have received 3 calls already today about problems with my order. First, my mirror for the dresser was apparently busted up on the corner. So I will not be receiving it tomorrow. They have to reorder it, and who knows how long that's going to take? Then I got another call from someone else stating that my comforter was never even ordered! Are you kidding me?! On my receipt, it clearly shows that it was ordered. I'm not sure how that even happens. This lady was also obviously clueless because she told me I would get it when my furniture came. I told her I'm getting it tomorrow and she said, "Oh, well that won't work." You think?!

This insurance was purchased through Ashley, but it is Guardsman who is supposed to honor it. We have made 4 claims with them and they only agreed to honor one of them. They keep saying that they do not cover what they deem to be the furniture structure (a.k.a. how the furniture was made). For example, when one of our center bed's feet broke, they said that they do not cover that. Had the whole thing broke, they would have. It is a shiesty business practice.

    In February 2012, I had bought a bedroom set from Ashley furniture. I had put the furniture on layaway for 6 months and after finishing all the payments, the company told me the furniture I had bought had gone discontinued 3 months before I paid it off. They didn't seem to care to call and tell me the furniture was being discontinued and if I wanted it to pay if off. They just kept taking my money and told me I could have store credit because the bedroom set was unavailable. Also, I felt as the salesman was just trying to get a sale to fatten his pay by not telling me anything about the furniture and how it might be discontinued in that 6-month time period, and made me sign all this paper work saying I could not get a refund even if the furniture went discontinued.

    Well anyway, the story gets better... I went ahead and got store credit because I found a living room set I liked. And the manager told me that he found the bed from the set in the warehouse and would give it to me for the difference. So anyway for almost a year, I believed they were holding my furniture for me when I had my own place to put it. It turns out they called (they like to harass you with calls when they are holding your furniture by don’t say anything when taking your money) and told me my bed was sold and it was unavailable. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I'm fed up and want my $1,500+ back! Don’t buy from Ashley Furniture.

    I purchased living room furniture in December 2012. Before the delivery truck left my driveway, I noticed flaws in the construction. Twice, repairman came to my home and told me, "That's the way it's constructed". Complaints to store, warranty dept., company owner at his home, and the credit card company brought no help. I want my money back and they can pick up their furniture. This is the last time they will see my dollar.

    I bought a sofa love seat from Ashley Furniture store. In less than a week, the cushions are already sagging. A tech came out and put more stuffing. He told me if it still does it to contact customer service. It is still doing it so I called Ashley Customer Service. They told me not to contact them again, that they would contact me instead when they get the papers back from tech. The tech said he was turning them in that day and it has been two days. The lady was very rude and did not want to resolve the problem. I would like for them to take the couch back and give me a different couch that does not sag.

    Ft. Worth store, while sales people are nice, the management and upper management are to say the least a sorry lot with their non-customer service attitude. If you purchase anything from them and want to pick it up, you have to drive 30 to 40 miles to do so. Delivery to the store is a very cold 'no' from the management, or else you have to pay $99 for delivery. They will not sell the customer the floor sample no matter what! The sales person who assisted me was very nice but the management had a gross lack of customer service. I will not shop there and will make sure any and all my friends and acquaintances know how lousy the customer service is.

    We purchased a bed from the Killeen location and was given a delivery date of March 22nd. I called on the 20th to check on the delivery, and they told me that they broke the set when it was delivered to the store and that they were going to deliver another one on the 9th of April. Today, I called and they told me that it won't be delivered anytime soon, and that the earliest date they can give is the 17th of April. The store manager, Josh, left a message on my phone saying that they were scheduled for delivery on the 9th and then denied that he called; I still have the email.

    I told them I just want my money back because they were being rude and not giving me a straight answer. He stated that I need to bring him the furniture polish back that they gave us in order to get any refund. I and my pregnant wife have been sleeping on the floor waiting for the bed to arrive. We called corporate and they said each store is independently owned and said I quote "What you want me to do?"

    I arrived in Florida on Jan. 23, 2013 and closed on a new house the same day. I spent $10,000 (approx) at Ashley's the following Friday. I waited several weeks for delivery, only to request that several items be taken back as they were defective. Finally, I settled on what was sent on third delivery. I was assured that dining room chairs are protected as they are faux suede. I live alone. I entertained two others. The single potato (boiled and no salt/pepper) marked chair. I called customer service and was advised to call Guardsman for protection I had purchased. As I now understand it, each and every time I have a problem, I must contact Guardsman, fill out paperwork and for a period of five years, they will come back and repair but Ashley's will not replace. I wanted to swap out dining chairs as they had not been used, saying I would pay price difference. Not a policy of Ashley's. This is definitely an organization where it is true let the buyer beware. Go elsewhere I urge you.

    I called the Lakeland store six times. First three times, I left very detailed messages. As no response, I insisted on speaking to manager on fourth call. He would immediately contact area director but acted as if he had no understanding of why I had called even though each detailed message was given to him. Fifth call was to sales person. She would get back to me the next day. Of course, you know I had to call yet again. I was put on hold for 40 minutes. I hung up and called back. When I arrived home later that evening, there was a message from the manager on phone saying, "I am returning your call." No apologies for letting me sit on hold, no explanation as to why I had not heard from him. To each of you I say do not shop at Ashley's.

    My wife and I bought a bedroom outfit and love it. We've done our shopping and got the best price. The set was called Burkesville. Now when it was delivered, the foot board had a crack in it. It was noted and to be replaced, so I thought. They sent a repairman out to fix the crack. Okay fine, but what is it for me? I bought a bedroom set brand new, not damaged. So I signed the form that the repairman completed the job he was to do. Not that I'm happy with the damaged set, which we paid $2,700 total for. I went out to Ashley today and they told me because I signed the sheet, that it was a done deal. Nowhere on that sheet did it say I was happy with a cracked set. I sign the sheet in words that the repairman done his job.

    Ellen in Peoria, the store manger I suppose, said the best she can do is $50 in store credit. Okay, I spent $2,700 for a brand new set and that because I signed the sheet on a job completed, it's a done deal. But nowhere on the form did it say I was happy and satisfied. They can take their $50 and shove it up there. You know what. I will never buy from there again.

    I bought a couch on March 11, 2013 and it was delivered the next day. A few days later, I noticed the bottom fabric was drooping. I was not okay with that but planned to fix it myself. Then, one day sitting on the couch, I noticed a one-inch repair that had been done prior to the couch's delivery. I had not noticed it when it was delivered. Three weeks later, the entire cushion ripped and fell apart. This couch has serious quality issues. I called customer service who stated that I have to send pictures which I did and will have to pay for the couch to be picked up and redelivered because I didn't buy extra warranty. Who would ever think that they would not replace a defective couch they delivered after only three weeks? This couch looks like it was 5 years old. This is awful customer service. I won't buy from Ashley or City Furniture ever again. It's a shame that the customer service isn't better. They would keep me as a customer if it were.

    I have made two purchases from the Ashley/Morris store in Florence, KY within the last 8 months. My first purchase was a dining room set that was supposed to take two weeks to be delivered. We received the table and chairs within that time frame, but the hutch delivery date changed numerous times and was finally delivered 2 months after it was ordered. After many apologies, we purchased a living room suite from this store as I have always thought highly of the quality of their furniture. We left explicit instructions that we did not want the set if it did not arrive on the initial delivery date, but it arrived on time and without incident.

    Four months after having the table delivered, the wood started chipping off along one side of the leaf. We called customer service as there is a one year warranty, and we were told that we would be contacted by a third party who would come out and check the table. It took about a month to schedule a time for them to come as they were very limited on days they worked in my area. The service man took pictures but stated that this was not something he would be able to repair.

    Five days later, I received a call from corporate customer service informing me that the chipping was not a factory defect but from water damage (her perception from the photos). She said that they would not even replace the leaf as they are not able to order only that part. I expressed my disagreement as we have only had the table for a few months and rarely use it. And there has never been a point in which water was left standing on the wood. She simply apologized that they would be unable to do anything for me.

    I expressed my dismay at the poor service I have received since my first purchase, and that they would never receive my business again if this issue was left unresolved as we have not done anything to damage this piece of furniture. I then called the store from which the item was purchased to see if there is anything else that could be done. I’m waiting to hear back at this time, but I’m not expecting much.

I contacted MFS at 1800 774-8700 to file a claim and was told the couch no longer qualifies for replacement. I pointed out that the protection plan says "mechanical and structural breakdown in fabric." I was told because the couch is structurally intact, the claim is denied. I attempted to take the issue up with the Ashley Furniture store in Albuquerque and was told to refer to the protection plan.

    We are disappointed not only in the customer service of both the store and MFS, but the quality of the product also. I recommend to do your research before spending your money at Ashley Furniture. Don't waste your money on the MFS protection plan. You will be very disappointed in the service.

They just couldn't make it. We were disappointed but felt it could happen. My second friend’s delivery came, but the delivery was late for a couple of hours later than the appointment time.

We thought the store would take care of the incident, but they never called me or my friend for the apology. I called the store and they said they will have to contact the warehouse. We waited and never got a call from them for a couple of weeks.

    I called them back and they said they will contact me once they find out the time that they could send someone to fix the light. I was frustrated since this should not be taking too much time. Meanwhile, he didn't have his light outside and had to clean the broken glass by himself. Also, the bed, he told me later (he didn't want to tell me since it would make me more upset) the delivery folks broke the bottom sheet when they carried the bed through my friend's door. Wow. How could it be so hard to just deliver right time and right procedure? If you think about how they could make same mistakes over and over, I was wondering why they could do the business with customers. You would not want to know what had happened to my other three friends. One had his bed delivered but didn't have hardware and couldn't make his bed.

As time went by, we received 5 to 6 calls in a day regarding payments and when connected with a sales operator, we're told that double payments were due and it was because they were so unorganized.

Then another sales rep who has no clue about our account would call with off-the-wall numbers saying we owed payments that didn't add up.

    I work as a waitress and am a single mother of 3. For the first time, I purchased a new sectional and dining room table with 6 chairs and a rug. The only thing holding up is the rug. Within one week, I noticed my daughter's homework has imprinted in the table. I called Ashley Furniture and they informed me that the wood is soft. But still a year later, you can write on a piece of paper and see it on the table. The chairs have made dents and the paint is chipping all around the edges of the table. You barely have to hit the table with chair when pushing up the chair to see a new dent. The sectional seats are not holding up well and the back of the sectional under the leather is a board that has no cushion between board and leather. You can see when it is making marks all the way down where the board touches it, and soon may rip.

    I received the furniture in Jan. of 2012 and in November of 2012, I noticed that the furniture was not holding up well at all, so I made a claim. After all, I had paid for a 5-year warranty that was almost $200. Ashley Furniture sent someone to check it out and he tightened one of my chair legs that was falling off and I never heard back. I waited until after the holidays and still no response from anyone, so I contacted the warranty company and they sent some paperwork to them. This was in February and now today, March 21, I received two letters from them stating they are not going to fix anything because I didn't claim it within 30 days.

    We purchased over $6,000 of furniture in March of 2012, along with an extended 5-year full coverage warranty. Our living room set consisted of a double recliner couch, a recliner/rocker loveseat and a recliner/rocker. First our delivery date was pushed back. Then the recliner/rocker was delivered inoperable and had to have a replacement part. Within four months, the loveseat recliner/rocker broke and all of the mechanical parts underneath had to be replaced.

    At that same time when the repairman turned over the furniture to check it, we noticed rips on several of the corners of our couch and loveseat. We were told by the repairman that neither of our warranties would cover the rips, even though they were factory defaults because we did not notice them within the 3-day period after delivery and that he personally was the deciding factor. He said he refused to fix them because he didn't believe we had a 5-year warranty despite our receipt and the verification from his commanding office. He then proceeded to replace all of the parts under our loveseat and in the process, he permanently rippled and tore the leather on the arm of our chair.

    We went back and forth for months with the office telling us we, of course, were covered for rips under both warranties, while the repairman continued to refuse to fix them. Finally a different repairman was ordered to repair all of the rips and then he attempted to fix the ripples and tear to the arm of the chair that the previous repairman created. He pulled out a staple gun and butchered the leather with 12 industrial size visible staples! We were outraged and refused to sign his paperwork and escorted him to the door.

    The office agreed they'd replace the whole arm of the chair but then sent the wrong parts not once, but twice and claimed to have sent one part for a third time to the wrong address (even though they called and asked us to verify our address in writing in an email). Instead, they claim they sent it to an address we lived at 6 months prior. So here it is one year later in March of 2013 and the first guy returned and told us the repair with the staple gun was done satisfactorily and didn't see a need to correct it. Unbelievable!

    Our furniture was delivered damaged, has had to have major repairs to all 3 pieces, was then damaged even more by Ashley Furniture's repairmen's negligence while we have been overly inconvenienced waiting on repairmen, missed scheduled appointments, delivery of wrong parts and wasting countless hours of our time fighting for these issues to be resolved and for Ashley Furniture to uphold their responsibilities and obligations. We've tried repeatedly to contact the locations manager to no avail. They hang up when we ask for him and he has not returned any of our calls! At this point, we can verifiably argue that Ashley Furniture has been severely negligent, stalling and incompetent of repairing the furniture and their workmanship cannot be trusted!

She said their showroom wasn't large enough to display all sets in their circulars. I asked if she at least had an upholstery swatch I could see. She said, "No." I would have to drive 45 minutes away to another store. I asked if she had anything comparable to the advertised furniture set. There was nothing within $700 of the advertised set. She did not seem customer-friendly and really did not care.

    Today, this store lost out on a cash-paying customer and will lose out on future customers after I share my experience with all my social media contacts and word of mouth. I guess I'm really disappointed in the shady bait and switch or false advertising tactics used by this furniture store. Even the sales clerk was uncomfortable with the way the Manager handled the situation. I would complain to the "corporate office," but miraculously, there is no contact information listed on their website.

    In January, we ordered a dining room table with chairs. Here it is March and we still have no table. My husband called their office and we kept getting the same story - it will be there in a few days. What is so hard about giving me what we paid for? This wasn't credit. We paid it outright and owe nothing. How do you force a company to give you what you paid for?

    My husband and I purchased a couch and other items. We left the store and 45 minutes later, we called the store and decided the couch would be too big for our home. The sales girl was understanding and tried to cancel the couch order since it had only been 45 minutes. The manager (Ron) told her they could cancel but it will cost us 20 percent to restock. We followed up with a phone call to the head manger and he said the same thing, "It is our policy to charge 20% on all cancelled orders." In review of the policy, we see that they are well within their rights to charge the 20% but come on, 45 minutes, bad customer service. So we cancelled all items. We had to eat $200 but I'd rather lose that than give that store $2,000+. We also were going to buy a bedroom set from them and are obviously not ever going to buy anything from that store. My two daughters are getting married this year and need furniture to set up the house. They will not buy from Ashley's.

    When we originally purchased our furniture, it seemed like we were going to get some great furniture. We decided to pick up our furniture instead of having it delivered to our house because we are really close to the store and warehouse. When we got home, we saw that our furniture had been damaged in one way or another, and it was probably a manufacturer’s defect or some sort. The leather sofa was written on by a pen somehow through the packaging. The headboard looked like it was dropped from a very high position, and the wooden corner was frayed at the top, and the chest had a nail sticking out of the top where it met the molding. We called as soon as we found the damage, and after multiple people coming to the house taking pictures, they decided to take our new couch to repair it and brought it back with a new headboard and chest.

    The sofa had a fresh scratch that wasn't there before. The headboard looked refurbished, and they brought a chest that had a scuffed side with a top drawer, which was really hard to open and close. After countless amounts of phone calls and 3 different sets of people coming to the house to take pictures of the damages, they brought a new sofa and headboard but didn't give us a new chest. The only problem that was solved was the headboard because the sofa was ripping at the stitches and had exposed a sharp spot where someone could potentially cut themselves. The chest was not fixed, and after arguing for a week, they decided to send a new drawer without letting us know what they were doing. This does not fix the outside marks left by someone at Ashley furniture and therefore unacceptable as "new" furniture.

    The times they gave for delivery didn't match up, and we were left waiting for no reason two different times. We called customer care, and David ** the supposed "district manager" was the most rude and unprofessional person that I have ever had to deal with. He had no care for my issues and told me that I am an inconvenience to him and his workers. He also told me that if I wanted to get my furniture fixed, then I would need to bring it back myself because we have already had too many deliveries to our house. After hanging up the phone on me several times, he told me not to call back anymore and continued to screen the phone calls till he was outwitted by the private number trick.

    During the next phone call, he told me to never shop with Ashley furniture again because they don't need my business. He spoke like he owned the store and would not let me have the number to someone at a higher position that might be able to help me with my situation. David ** is the worst manager in the history of any corporation and should be reprimanded for trying to talk down on the customer like he is better than them. Myrtle Beach Ashley furniture is full of management that does not care about the customer, and the district manager, David **, is a sorry excuse for a customer care district manager.

    My elderly mom and dad bought bedroom furniture from there and they delivered it all with the exception of the mattress. When we asked the delivery guys, they stated that the customer service should have called us, but they never did. When I called, they told me it was discontinued and we would have to pick out another bed but it would take some time and if the cost was lower than the initial mattress, they would transfer the remaining balance in to store credit. My parents paid cash and wanted cash back. It was not in Ashley Furniture's policy to provide a refund after 48 hours even if they lied about having the item in stock. My parents slept on the floor for the next night due to this (Sunday night).

    I called the next day to ensure they were open. The recording came on stating they were closed. So they slept on the floor another night. The next day, we went to the store and they told us their phone system crashed, but they were open the day before. Then my parents found the exact bed at the store and when researched, the sales associate stated they could have the one on the floor, even though the customer service rep told us that the item was discontinued and they did not have any on the floor or in stock anywhere in the state of Texas. My parents agreed and then they couldn't deliver it until 4 days later even though it was in the store and there were problems with their order from the beginning. They stated they would supply my parents with a 10% discount but then when they checked out, no discount was applied.

    I placed an order for two full beds, two nightstand, two chests, and then the montage protection on all of it. I only wanted the two full beds; however, the sales associate was very pushy and I figured I could call on the way home to cancel everything but the beds. As I left the store, I called and told them I only wanted the beds. The customer service rep told me that due to the financing terms, I needed to keep one nightstand on the order. I said fine, thinking I could use it for something else. I called today to cancel the order and buy something else (I found a much cuter, better quality set at Rooms To Go) and found that they still had the protection plan and one chest on my order. They stated because the customer service rep didn't put it in her notes to cancel everything but the beds that they couldn't do anything about it since today is past the 48-hour window. Even though I asked for this on the same day of purchase, it didn't matter. This company is a joke. I cannot believe they are still in business after the poor customer service they have. I've learned my lesson to never shop here again. I hope this helps others who are unsure of where to buy their furniture.

    We purchased a couch and lounger a month after our third son was born. It was supposed to be from Ashley's elite collection, so I thought it would be of better quality. I asked the salesman over and over if the extra money I was paying for the fabric protection covered the removal of baby puke. "Oh yes," he assured us it did. That was the only reason we paid for the added protection. A month later, not only did the crappy pillow back cushions look like a big clumpy mess, but they absolutely refused to clean the baby puke out. We actually had to remove the cushions to lie in the couch. Liars! They would not replace the clumpy cushion either. When I opened up the cushions to replace the filling, the whole inside was a shredded mess. Worst waste of money ever! We replaced the whole set after 18 months. My brother is currently on his third replacement of his $3,500 sectional - they won't give him a refund. Stay away.

    My boyfriend and I went to Ashley specifically for a high table and 4 chairs. The salesman found us the perfect one. He even waived shipping. So, we purchased it. The table came a week later on the 25th of Feb. and was signed by my boyfriend's son who had no idea what we picked out. However, my boyfriend works as a tractor trailer driver and did not come home until the 27th and realized it was not the high table we picked out but rather a regular sized table with 4 chairs. Upon finding out, we notified Ashley Furniture store about the wrong delivery and they had no compassion for us that they screwed up. We were told that because it was two days later, we would have to pay a pickup fee a delivery fee and restock fee of 30%. This was not our error. So we went to the store hoping to get this straight with a manager but to no avail; he could not help us either. The item we ordered had a stock number d158- 233. However, the salesman wrote down stock number d158-225. This was his error not ours. This however is totally not right or fair being we spent almost $600 and that we would have to spend another $200 just to get the correct table we ordered. That is totally not right!

    My wife and I bought a couch and loveseat from their Fairless Hills, PA location. They have delivered it damaged 3 times now with 3 different beat up trucks and 3 different pairs of rude, unprofessional drivers. Today on their third attempt, the men got out and told my wife it was damaged, threw it back on the truck, gave her a nasty look, slammed their door and took off. All this while she was on the phone with the distribution warehouse. We were told that we could accept it until they could bring a new one, but the driver wouldn't wait a minute. Funny they have had us wait three separate days in the four hour window they provided the night before delivery but not a minute of their time. Now they tell me Saturday, 2/30, they can make attempt #4 and should wait until Friday night for a call, giving me yet again another 4-hour period in which to be home.

    I have zero faith in this being delivered undamaged and not looking forward to dealing with their bottom of the barrel delivery men. You would think that they would handle $1,000 items with care, but they just toss them in the truck and hope for the best. I guess this is why they pack the trucks full with items on end, upside down, on top of each other and unsecured. It's quantity, not quality and the drivers get paid per parcel.

Then I went to a local furniture store and bought a metal foundation. It is now holding up very well. Why would you put cheap crap in a nice bed? But the fact that they told me we used our extended warranty and wouldn't do anything to help us out this time gives them a one star.

    Several months ago, we purchased 2 Ashley Furniture desks. They were delivered and set up by their delivery people. The desks were large and were placed against walls in our home office. They appeared to be in good shape and we were initially pleased. We were told that we had a 1 year warranty for materials and workmanship.

    About a month ago, I had to move one of the desks to put up a new window covering behind it. It was at that time that I noticed a crack on the edge of the knee wall under the desk. It ran from bottom to top and was obvious only from the backside. I called the local Ashley franchise and they sent out a technician to repair the crack. He glued the crack, sanded the excess, and sprayed over the area with paint. He told me that the glue used was a special kind that opened up the pores of the wood and then drew the pieces together. I let the piece set for several days, but as soon as I tried moving it back against the wall, the crack instantly opened up.

    I called Ashley once more and told them what happened, and that in my opinion the solution was to replace the panel. They said they would need to send another technician out to assess the situation and 2 guys came out the next week. One of them asked if I understood that the initial repair was a "courtesy repair", as the warranty likely did not apply. When asked for an explanation, they said their 3 day return policy on damage would have been my only recourse for this type of damage; never mind that the crack was concealed against a wall and would have been difficult to see if I crawled under the desk with a flashlight. He looked at it and gave me a form to explain my concerns attached to his observations. After writing a paragraph, he said he doubted his supervisor would read it because it was too long. They did follow up the next day to tell me they would do nothing more to address my concerns; the warranty didn't apply and in short, I was SOL!

    They have poor customer service, and I will not shop Ashley again. They do not stand behind their product or honor their stated warranty.

    I purchased a Mission style recliner in June 2012 that cost almost $600. The first chair had to be replaced after eight weeks because it was so misaligned it wore holes in the leather-like fabric. The second chair was delivered and when I released the lever to unlock the recliner mechanism, it fell to the floor. Of course, the delivery men did not have the tools to reattach it, so I had to wait weeks before someone came out. He said the screws were stripped, but would put larger ones in to make it hold. This past December 2012, I noticed the back of the recliner wiggled quite a bit (moving left to right). I knew this was not normal as the first chair did not do this, so I called for service once more.

    After stiffing me on the scheduled service call because of weather, they finally rescheduled and showed up in January of this year. The service man said the back needed to be replaced and he would put in the order and come back to replace it himself. After approximately four weeks of waiting to hear from someone, I called today and was told the guy said it was up to Ashley's standards and nothing more could be done. I told them that was not acceptable as I was told it would be replaced. She said she would look into it further and call me back.

    You can guess the outcome. They still could do nothing for me as the service man reported there was nothing they could do. I asked if she was calling me a liar! She said no, but they couldn't help me any further. I do plan on going to the store itself and speak with the salesman in person. If I need to make a scene, then I will and let future customers know that Ashley Furniture does not stand behind their product.

After more than 6 weeks of waiting, they tried to deliver the wrong colored furniture, insisting it was ours, even after we showed them our copy of the order form indicating a different color. After more weeks of waiting, the furniture finally came and all seemed in order. Now it's been a year later and both loveseats and recliner have areas where the color has rubbed off the leather! We went to the Ashley store where we purchased the furniture and talked to the manager, who, of course, had never ever heard of this happening before and had no remedy for us. These 3 pieces have been in a room of our home that, until recently, has not been used much. They now look awful.

    The loveseats are a dark brown and the rubbed off spots are now a blond color. Same thing is happening to the recliner. Both loveseats now have worn spots on the back of the sofa and on the arms. We are now looking for something we can put on these spots to try and cover them up. I'm sure that in a year or so, we will be forced to replace them as the spots continue to grow just from us sitting on them. This is ridiculous! Do not buy furniture from Ashley. They sell junk furniture that you will be replacing sooner than if you had spent a little more money somewhere else.

Almost every single piece we received needed to be sent back. From cracked marble tables, a broken framed amour to a lemon of a couch - the customer service and quality of furniture were horrible. Just our couch alone, we needed to send it back six times. On top of taking days off from work and shelling out tips for all these deliveries, we got screwed time and time again from this company. After two inspectors came and deemed our couch a lemon, they were supposed to send us a new couch yesterday. We got a call from the store manager and she guaranteed us that the couch was fine and it will be delivered on time.

    Of course, they came and they were missing a piece of the couch. It was nowhere to be found, which means they lied to us again. This is unacceptable behavior and something needs to be done to handle this. Our couch was $4k and they gave us a credit of $230 for our troubles. Really? That probably wasn't even the amount in tax on the couch. It is very sad because my whole family used to buy from Ashley and because of this, no one will ever buy from there again.

    I went to the Naperville, IL store to buy a loft bunk bed for my boys on November 24. The delivery date was for December 5th, 2012. Delivery was actually done on that day; however, a piece was damaged at the side of the desk. I called within minutes of the delivery and sent pictures via email. Mrs. **, from CS, called me back and said a new side will be out within the week. December 12 came with no info, so I called CS and found out that a new piece wouldn’t be out until Dec 24. Once Dec 24 came, I sent an email to find out if I can get a tracking number for my replacement piece. On December 27, I called to find out what was going on and I was told there was no info on my replacement part and they would send a new one to be out on the 31st of December.

    Upon all these different dates, my husband and I realized that since one of the dressers that wasn’t on the original delivery date was supposed to be picked up by us at the warehouse (which we totally agreed to, just to get the bed here earlier), we kept getting phone calls that the dresser would be delivered and then a few days later we would get called saying it was backordered. We decided to delete the rest of our order and just focus on the repair for our bed and just be done. I had to place a call to the CS department again on January 3 to find out where my replacement piece was. In every single phone call that I had to place (since they never call me back), the customer service reps were miserable and disrespectful. On Jan 3, I had asked where my replacement piece was and the CS service rep called me a liar that it was not here yet. They then proceeded to call my husband a liar because they told me they called my husband, but they never did.

    I finally got a manager to tell me that instead of waiting for a replacement piece, they would just send me a whole new desk for an exchange. Great! I was told it would be here on the 15th of January. Of course, I got a phone call saying the delivery date will now be January 16. Today was the day I was supposed to finally get my piece to put my kids’ loft bunk bed together. They came, shockingly, and brought the wrong piece. When I called CS, I was actually told that I was the one that told them the wrong piece of furniture, even though the packing slip the driver had said "desk". They packed the wrong item.

    CS actually told me, after I asked if they could just leave what they brought (another shelf, which would hold the loft bed up), that it wouldn’t work because it’s the wrong side. After kindly explaining to her what the loft bunk bed was, she was still arguing with me about how to set up the bed. Finally in getting her manager, I was told it did not matter which piece it was because it would have worked. She did, however, tell me that they couldn’t just leave that piece because then I would be charged for it since it was a different piece.

    Ashley furniture does not understand that customers are the reason they are in business. The way they lie to their customers, I wonder how they actually stay in business. The CS reps are rude, there is never a solution, and there is always a different delivery date. If you want to spend a lot of money on an ok piece of furniture and get no respect for any problems you have, then purchase your stuff through Ashley. This is the worst furniture company out there. If you want to work hard for your money and buy something that will be damaged (since they unpack all the stuff just to make room in the truck and it gets damaged during delivery, even though you pay an arm and a leg for delivery), then this is where you want to go. The plus side to be treated like crap is they give you gift cards - I don’t know why because I will never buy from them again. This company is a joke and apparently I was at the butt end of it.

    They sold us a sofa set and it was bad. They sent the technician to fix it but he couldn't fix it. They said, "We cannot give you a refund or exchange." So my advice to everyone is not to buy from Ashley and I need someone to tell me which store is the best!

    Poor services! The sales person either fooled me or made a mistake. I asked for the electric powered reclining sofa but they delivered the reclining one without power. I called to ask for a change and they ignored me. They said that the invoice number is the same as the one for delivery. The mistake I made was, that I didn't check whether it was power or not based on the item number when checking out. I suppose that it should be the electric one we were sitting on and discussed with the sales person. I have filed a complaint to my credit company and hopefully this can be resolved.

    We purchased a leather chair and couch from Ashley Furniture in Rockford, IL. Shortly after the purchase, we noticed that the leather was peeling on the arms of both pieces. We made several calls to the Rockford store and no one returned the calls or offered any assistance. I somehow called the main Ashley office location and was told that no one at the home office could help, it was up to the store. I would suggest that no one buy furniture at Ashley. Customer service is non-existent and I believe that the main office couldn't care less once they receive the money for the purchase.

    We bought a mattress about 5 months ago, and it was completely defective. There were cracks from the inside. We called up the store, and they gave me an appointment a month later, and the man that worked there said it was indeed defective. Then the month after that, they gave me an appointment to pick it up and give me a different one, and they did not do what they promised. They told us the manufacturer doesn't cover it. The material of the mattress is very bad and changed color. Even the salesman says he gets plenty of complaints from those types of mattresses. This all came from the Ashley furniture store in Linden, New Jersey.

    I bought almost a house full of furniture (bedroom, LR, study, kitchen) from Ashley. I noticed the next day that two of the pieces were damaged. The disturbing thing was the desk had two chunks missing from it and someone just slapped putty on it and shipped it out like that. I called Ashley and they stated a tech would have to come and look at it. Tech arrived a week later and made a report that both pieces would need to be replaced. I called a week later and was told it had to be approved by corporate. They had no idea about the desk even though it was in the same report.

    I had to call about 4-5 times over the next few weeks and everyone I spoke to had no idea about the desk even though I informed the person before. After six weeks of jumping through hoops, they finally called to arrange delivery on a Saturday. I get a phone call 48 hours before telling me they'll be there between 3pm and 8pm! I called to reschedule due to a family obligation and I'm told I would have to pay a fee to reschedule and that I needed to call 72 hours in advance, even though I was notified of the time only 48 hours earlier. Never again will I purchase another piece of Ashley furniture again.

    I believe in second chances, mistakes are made, we reconcile and we move on. First experience: we bought a $4,000 bedroom set from Ashley Furniture; during installation the tech broke a bed piece. We called, myself and the tech, customer service to request a new piece. The tech took full responsibility and requested it get replaced along with a drawer that arrived in pieces (no assembly required as it comes pre-assembled)! Customer service advised that another tech would need to come evaluate the situation?! We then scheduled another tech to come and evaluate. The second tech then confirmed a new part and full drawer need to be replaced. They had to ship them in and a third appointment would need to be made for another tech to finish the job.

    Three days off of work for a bed! Why 3 full days, because Ashley Furniture must schedule the day of the appointment 72 hours prior, but can only schedule the time of day 48 hours prior. Meaning you must set aside the entire day! And you must give 72 hour notice of delivery change or pay a $40 fee. This is the most illogical scheduling I have ever encountered. So, 3 days off of work, 3 technicians and 3 weeks to set up a bed (we had to wait a week for the parts to be shipped!). After 2 weeks, I wanted it out of my house, but they have a 72 hour return policy. I was stuck with it.

    Second experience: I know, who in their right mind would go back? A friend of ours works there and offered us 30% off a sectional. Again, I believe in second chances, mistakes are made, we reconcile and we move on. Our friend referred us to the manager to be well taken care of. The couch was on backorder so we waited 3 weeks for a phone call to setup an appointment for delivery. They called confirming an appointment due in 48 hours. I reassured them I had made no appointment as the couch was on backorder over Christmas and New Year’s and a date could not be set as it is the “busy holiday season and they do not ship on New Year’s and Christmas, and that could cause delay”. Customer service refused to change the date without the fee.

    We called our friend who waived the fee and we set a date. Here it goes, they ordered the wrong sectional! There is a short side and a long side, they flipped it. With every fiber of my being, I calmly refused it. I called Ashley Furniture, cancelled my order, and I will never do business with them again! Drawer images: the face of the drawer was not properly attached, so when pulled on the handle to open the drawer, the face would come off. One image you can see the gap and the other has no gap (what it should look like). Bed image: the crack measured just shy of 13 inches. As you can tell, this beam supports the slats, thus our king mattress and 2 adults. It is a crucial structural piece to the bed.

Delivery was scheduled for 12/15/12, my move-in date. Furniture arrived on 12/15/12 around 11:35am without two chairs and the footboard to the sleigh-bed. Without the footboard, I was forced to sleep on the floor. I immediately called Ashley on 12/15/12 to find out when I would receive my footboard and they initially said the same day.

The footboard arrived around 7pm that evening. Since there was no refund to my card by 12/17/12, I called Ashley and spoke with Vanessa ** who informed me that the refund request was never processed.

    Horrible customer service! Ashley owes us money - On March 31, 2012, I ordered a kitchen table and six chairs from Ashley Home Store in Orange Park, FL. From the beginning, I should have walked away. The sales rep had to re-write the order four times, because he kept writing the wrong furniture & codes, and his addition was incorrect on the totals. (Sign #1): I paid for the table and six chairs, the table/chair delivery was promised by April 21st, but was delayed three different times. The table was finally delivered 3 weeks after the promised date, and arrived with four chairs.

    (Sign #2): The driver said his order showed only 4 chairs. I called the store and spoke with the sales rep, who explained he made an error. He had charged me for the chairs, but had 'forgotten' to order the extra two chairs. He explained he could have the 'other' two chairs within a month. (Sign #3): I said, “No, thank you.” The order had been nothing but problems. After speaking to the sales rep, and remembering all the errors, I called the store manager, and customer service. I told them I did not want the chairs; I needed them for an event at our home that day. I had to go to another store and purchase two chairs. Customer Service, the Store Manager, and the sales rep, all apologized and promised to have my account credited for the missing chairs.

    Two weeks later, a customer service rep called to ask if I was happy with the purchase. I said. "No," re-explained the entire scenario, and asked where my refund was. The Ashley rep said he would take care of it. (Of course he didn't). As of today, nine months later, I have written 7 letters, made 11 phone calls and still no refund! Absolutely insane. I will never visit another one of their stores again. This is plain old robbery. I should have trusted my initial concern, and walked out of the store - no purchase is worth this aggravation.

    I am writing because Ashley double billed my account for a purchase made last spring and has refused to do anything to correct the matter. I bought a bedroom set at Ashley in May 2012. The total bill was just under $2,000. I had intended to pay the bill with my credit card and then pay the card off at the end of the month. However, the sales associate told me that with GE Capital, I could pay the bill over 12 months without any interest, so I went with the financing option. I paid Ashley just over $400 as a down payment, leaving about $1,580 to go on the GE account.

    GE didn't post a bill on my account until September. When they did, the total amount was actually a few dollars lower than I had calculated, but I didn't question it. I made my first scheduled payment of $379.21 and didn't think any more about it until October, when it was time to make another payment. At that time, I noticed the balance on the account was unchanged from the previous month despite my payment. It remained unchanged until after I had made three payments (then it just showed one payment being deducted). At that point, I called GE Capital and the customer service rep looked at my account and said that Ashley had billed me twice for the furniture - that was the cause of the discrepancy. He told me he could open a dispute file on my account, but said that would take 60-90 days to resolve. He suggested I call the Ashley store and ask them to correct my account, which he said would take 2-3 days.

    I called the customer service number on my Ashley paperwork and the rep there said she could do nothing to help me. "We're just an outsourced call center" were her exact words. So, I called the local store. The manager (a new one, not the guy who was there in May) told me that Ashley was already aware of this problem and that she (store manager #2) had been in communication with a woman at their corporate offices who handled the GE accounts. She offered to contact the corporate employee and ask that person to get back to me.

    More than a week passed with no word, so I called the store again. The manager said she was sorry and this time she gave me a phone number for the corporate woman. I have left several messages for her, none of which were returned. Finally, I called the store manager back and she said she had received a note from the corporate woman, claiming my account was corrected back in September, and put all the blame on GE. I asked the store manager if I could just come to the store and pay off the balance of my account, but she said no. The store manager promised to get back to corporate and tell them there was still a problem.

    Right after that call, I called GE again, telling them that Ashley claimed to have sent them a correction already. The CSR at GE said they had received nothing from Ashley. He said he was notifying a supervisor about this and that GE would resolve the matter. That was a week ago. My account balance still shows I owe almost $1,200, when in fact the amount is now down to $62. So I called GE again. This time the rep insisted on opening a dispute file, which he told me, would take 30-60 days to resolve. I told him I had no faith in their process, but told him to go ahead. I called the Ashley corporate number and left yet another voice mail, which I don't expect to have answered. At this point, I'm weighing my options of contacting my state's attorney general, or going to the local media. All I want to do is pay this bill and be done with it!

    Ashley does provide cheap furniture but the service is horrible. Since my order is small (just a cocktail table) and simple to assemble, I decided to pick it up myself. The sales wasn't happy about it and was very rude while hearing me saying that I was going to assemble it myself - I guess his commission turns out lower if I don't use their expensive delivery service. Anyway, since the item was cheap, I didn't bother to argue.

    Then I called a week ahead before the scheduled pick up date and was told that the item was available. I went ahead and scheduled the pick-up. As I was happily driving there to pick up, the guy told me, "Sorry. The item is not there yet." Three days before the scheduled pick up day, they called and told me the delivery is late for a week. I was quite annoyed as this is the second time it happened (the first time we ordered a couch and the delivery date was rescheduled a few times). I called ahead of the time to schedule this Friday for pickup. I hope this time they're telling me the truth.

    Ashley Furniture is the place to go if you cannot afford high-end retail or quality. It is the place to go if you are at a point in life where your income is low or fixed. As a senior with a fixed income, I purchased a sofa and TV table from Ashley. I needed the furniture before Christmas for visiting family. Before signing the contract, I noticed the estimated delivery date was 12/26/12. I mentioned again that I needed it before Christmas. The salesman said the date was just an estimation and it usually takes 2-3 weeks for delivery.

    Well, naturally, it is now the 21st of December and I called the store and asked about the status of my furniture. The first lady I talked to advised me that delivery was delayed because Ashley had not cleared my check (dated 12-03) as of yet and their bookkeeping department won't be in until Monday so she was unable to find out what was going on. My surprise was that Ashley was so flush with money that they did not need revenue from me. The CS Manager never heard of such a thing and she had a signed contract and she could get the furniture delivered on the 28th. The first person lied to me and the second mentioned 4 times that she had my signed contract. I was lied to and held over a barrel.

The total transaction was $4000.00, which was already paid off. Therefore we are rejecting the offer that Ashley Furniture gave us (wanting us to pay for labor at $72 an hour) for these reasons: When we purchased our living room set, we were hesitant on getting the warranty for the fact we don’t have kids, therefore, would not need it. When the associate, Michelle **, saw that we were hesitant, she went on to ask us if we have pets. After explaining to her we do have dogs she went on to inform us how this elite protection plan would cover any and all dog damage.

    We were told this plan would be worry-free because the company they work with is excellent and easy to work with. Instead of explaining the fine details she went on to promise us if anything were to happen to the furniture, Guardsman would cover it. We were also misinformed on the value of the protection plan. After filing a claim with Guardsman who the plan is under, we discovered it only covered up to $750.00 worth of damage. Again we were not told of this and instead told by Michelle ** it would cover the entire price of the furniture if anything were to happen. We immediately followed the steps on our protection plan and contacted Guardsman the day the incident happened. When the claim came back denied we were in shock. This error put us in a difficult position.

    First, we contacted Michelle ** directly who was not only rude but refused to connect us to the manager, then we spoke with the customer care center, and now the Better Business Bureau. This has caused a considerable inconvenience. After spending several wasted hours on this problem, it seems as though Ashley Furniture does not care about their repeat customers. This large complication has been unacceptable to us. We are writing to ask that you correct this shortfall immediately and to ensure that such errors do not happen again. Failure to correct this wrong, as promised, will result in us taking our business elsewhere.

We are new homeowners therefore a lot of business you have lost. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere. They did nothing!

    The salesperson says that they're not allowed to give out a copy of the quote and that we should just take a mental note. We found this practice odd because first of all, as potential customers, how do they expect us to compare pricing with other stores? Second, if there is no official quote, how do they expect to match the price of their competitors? There are 4 other furniture stores within a 3-block radius of Ashley. Needless to say, we did not purchase from Ashley and opted to buy from a local furniture store. We were in and out of the store within 30 minutes.

Since we bought the dining room set on a "free delivery" promotion, they said that we had to bring back the chairs ourselves. We paid a lot of money on an extremely bad quality dining room set, we invested on the protection plan which was useless, and Ashley's wants us to go through the trouble of taking all 8 chairs back on our small car?! Really? These are very bad business practices and we will never purchase anything from them again.

I called, and customer service immediately said that they couldn't do anything. I also stated that one of the pcs of furniture was too big. She said, "Sorry, nothing could be done. All sales final."

She couldn't help me but directed me to the Operations Manager, Kim.

    I called Kim, and she said, "Well, yes, all sales final." But she could send a furniture tech out to see if my new mattress was damaged. I told her that the mattress wasn't damaged, but it was hurting my back. She asked me give it a couple days especially since I was used to sleeping on a boxspring mattress and this mattress was foam.

So it's agreed that if I give her a couple of days to see if I liked the mattress, she would switch it out if I didn't like it. I would have to pay 25% restocking fee and also delivery fee again. I agreed. She said that she would also let me switch out the pc of furniture (chaise) that was too big.

    When I finally was able to reach her about 12 days later, she stated that she had never said that and she was simply sorry. I was very upset and told her why I would have kept on trying to get in touch with her if she hadn't stated the above. She said that I must have been confused, but she had never said that. By this time, I was very angry and in tears, because now, she pretty much indicated that I was lying. I simply just wanted to sleep in a mattress that is comfortable. Even mattress companies allow 30 days. I called my complaint in 2 days after I received my mattress. It took a month of calling and leaving messages, only to get a mattress that is not comfortable and a chaise lounge that is too big for the room. So, as I stated to the Ops Mgr. Kim, do you think I'll ever step foot in another Ashley Furniture? She didn't say anything. I also said that I would tell everyone who was looking to buy furniture my poor customer service from Ashley and highly discourage anyone from buying there.

    We purchased a sofa table on Nov. 1. I called today, Nov 23, to inquire on the status of my table. I was informed it had arrived on Nov 15. I then asked why I wasn't notified; the young lady I was speaking with couldn't give me a reason. I informed her that I would be there today to pick up my sofa table. She then informed me that I wasn't allowed to pick up today. I asked why and she said it was due to it being Black Friday. If they had called and been persistent on contacting me, I would have picked up that day or the following day. It's not like I bought a whole bedroom full of furniture. The sofa table will fit in my backseat and I would load it myself. It makes me wonder if Ashley is more willing to lose me as a paying customer than it is to help a Black Friday customer who may not buy at all. So stay away from Ashley. They treat the customers that have already paid horribly.

    I originally went into an Ashley store to purchase a queen size bed frame. I already had planned to buy a foam mattress from a company online that had excellent reviews. However, the salesman asked me about mattresses and I told him how I had researched foam, latex, and air mattresses, and how my husband and I were not getting good sleep because of back pain. The salesman then went into high gear to sell me an expensive latex mattress set. I had read good and bad reviews and had highly considered that option. I told him my biggest concern was that many reviews said that latex will not hold up but he convinced me that Ashley had a 7-year warranty that would protect me from any such problems. I paid $1,300 for an Ashley latex mattress set.

    Now here I am two years later, my husband and I, in misery every night. The mattress has shape-shifted so bad that I literally feel like I am going to fall out of bed every night when I go to sleep. We complained to the Ashley store and they sent someone out to take pictures of the mattress. I was told by the representative on the phone that if 3/4 inch difference was found, it would warrant replacement. The man taking pictures found 3/4 inch difference on my husband's side and 1-inch difference on my side leaving a big hump down the middle.

    However, Ashley called and said they noticed a stain on the mattress in the photo which voids the warranty. I told them all that it needed was the cover removed and laundered which is a big pain to do because the mattress is so heavy. They refused to stand by their product. I would have put a cover on the mattress if I had known that. I will never buy another stick of furniture from Ashley for as long as I live and have told everyone I know to be wary of them.

    My wife and I went to the North Brunswick, NJ store looking for a sofa bed for our finished basement. I found one we liked right in our price range, but I was concerned that it would not be able to fit down the stairs and in to the room. I expressed this concern to the sales rep at least twice and explained it was a 3-foot wide hallway they had to get it down. He specifically asked me if it was a standard 30" x 80" door. I told him yes. He then told me it would (not should) be no problem. Their delivery guys go to tight places in NYC all the time and they would get it in. Well, guess what happened when they got here - they would not even try to get it down the steps and just said it wouldn't fit. Now we were faced with paying a 25% restocking fee or $180 to get a technician to come out and take it apart to get it in our basement. I made calls to the store and the rep denied ever telling us that and sales manager said, "I can't do anything for you," not even apologizing. It was our fault. We called back and we were put on hold. No one picked up or called back. We were given email addresses to write to.

    I purchased a king-sized bed frame at Ashley and have this horrible 6.5-inch gap at the end of my bed. I thought surely they sent the wrong-sized bed; this must be for a Cal King, not a standard. After fighting and fighting over the issue for months, I finally logged a complaint with the BBB. I received a call from the owner of the company two days later saying they would take care of the issue and assuring me they would fix this (only after the official BBB complaint). Well, they sent the same rails as before apparently and are saying this gap is "normal" (nothing normal about a massive gap at the end of your bed if you ask me). They admitted now that their showroom model has a 4-inch gap which is now the fault of my mattress somehow and I should let it go even after the owner promised to take care of the issue.

    I'm back to fighting with the lower echelons of this company for a mere exchange to a bed that doesn't look so cheap and tacky. Don't shop there. Their customer service is the worst I have ever encountered in my 35 years of life. They downright refuse to correct any issues and are so bold as to blame you. I was even accused of misrepresenting information to the BBB because I thought for sure I was sent a Cal King frame since there was a 6.5-inch gap. Well no, their gap (4 inches with their mattress) is "normal" and that somehow makes me a liar.

    I purchased a sofa, then drove home and read Ashley's return policy. I realized that if for any reason the sofa was not a good fit for my home, I could not return it. I could only exchange it for another item and it had to be done within 72 hours. Due to their poor customer service, I decided to cancel the purchase order immediately (within a few hours of the transaction). At this time, I was told I had to wait 7 to 10 days to receive my refund. I thought, "Poor service, but okay." A month went by and I didn't receive my check. I called and talked to Customer Service and realized they didn't even submit my request for a refund yet. I was told to wait another 7-10 days.

    More time passed, no refund check arrived so I decided to stop into the store. Again I was told, "Sorry, it hasn't been submitted yet, but if you make another purchase today, "with our great sale" we will issue your refund immediately towards a new purchase." I said, "No way!" Another two months went by and still there was no refund check. I called and asked to speak to someone in management. I was told they were too busy and could not take my call. At this time, the customer service representative looked up my order and again told me the same story, "Sorry, it hasn't been processed yet; you need to wait 7-10 days." I am furious!

    I purchased a table and chairs on September 8, 2012 with the intent of being a satisfied customer. First, I was told by the salesperson my purchase would be ready on 9/25 to be delivered to my home. In anticipation of the new furniture, I sold my set I had thinking it would be delivered the following week. This day came and went without a phone call. I called to the Lubbock store and left my name and number on voicemail without a response. This was done 2 times. I spoke with persons on three occasions. Then on 10/5 I was told it was in and I needed to set up a delivery date. I called the number the girl gave me and my furniture was not in. I was told to call back on 10/11. I called and no one knew anything about the subject and I was told they would call me back. Finally, on 10/22, I received a call to set up delivery, but the order was not complete. I told them I was frustrated and just wanted my money back. I was told of a 25% restocking fee for $243.00 and that I would get a store credit for the rest.

    I was told that it was in the fine print of the contract I signed. I told them to get my order ready; however, he was not at the warehouse and it could not be delivered at this point, but I could not cancel any of it and I should just give them my money. Again, I was told they would call me back to discuss my purchase and delivery. I told them I would not take off work twice for a delivery: I wanted it all at the same time. There’s no call. On 10/23, at 7:30 pm, I received a call that they were 20 minutes from my house. My husband gave directions to the house, but they were lost with their GPS. At 8 PM they arrived and did not have the tools to put it together. They bothered my husband's drill. They stripped the screws out of the insertion site of the table and were unable to set it up after 2 hours of a lame attempt. Chairs are wobbly and there’s a table that they were not able to put together.

    The employee even told us they were having lots of complaints (I see why). I feel that they are very unprofessional, in my opinion, to talk it up with you so that you do not read every little word on the contract and do not disclose the fine print, but they count on taking advantage of you. They do not follow through with anything they say they will do. I do not feel it is right to have a restocking fee when it has not been delivered and is not even in the warehouse. I feel they misrepresent the ease of dealing with this company and how easy it is to receive service and help with issues.

    I will never purchase anything from this company again. I am disappointed that they lie to you at every turn. I give them a -5 on a 1-10 scale for overall experience. I don't like to be lied to. In my opinion, they are shady. Yes, I should have read the paragraphs rather than letting them push me though the buying process, but they should disclose these important areas. I would never have purchased their product if I would have known these details, so now here I am in a nightmare. I would rather pay more than deal with this.

    Run - that's my tip. We purchased a formal dining room table and six chairs (most expensive one in the store). One of the legs began getting loose immediately. A repairman came out to fix it and said that they had used the wrong size bolts in the manufacturing process. Since we only use the table during family gatherings, etc., we seldom use it. We recently noticed the other legs have become loose. I called Ashley and they refused to repair the chairs. I stated that these chairs are a total safety hazard and someone is going to be injured if/when these legs fall off. They suggested I tighten the bolts. Hello! They don't tighten because they are probably the wrong size bolts like the original chair that was repaired. I even offered to pay someone to fix them and they also refused that, saying they were unable to help me.

    So basically, I am stuck with a very expensive formal dining room table that we cannot use because someone may be hurt while sitting on these chairs. Thanks Ashley Furniture, way to take care of your customers! We only spent thousands of dollars there furnishing our bedroom and formal dining room.

Four boards out of the six that go to the top bed were either cracked or damaged in some way and Ashley won't replace the boards because they said I didn't notify them within 72 hours after receiving them. I did notify them and spoke directly to the salesman that sold them to me and because he didn't put anything in the computer, they won't replace the wood pieces. But as a courtesy, they would repair them. I didn't purchase used beds and feel like I got less than new beds. They accused me of damaging them myself and won't talk to the salesman that knows I called him as he said he was willing to talk to service to let them know I did call. I even took pictures of the cracked pieces for proof. Ashley service dept. is trained very well in not making the customers happy. From what I have read here on this long list of complaints, and I will be taking them to small claims court, they better hope that my grand kids don't get hurt on the beds too or there will be more than just a small claims being filed.

They were going to charge me two delivery fees and would not accommodate me with a temporary box spring to hold the mattress. The store manager was a complete nasty ** who could give a crap about losing a $5000 order. "It is what it is" was his comment. Attempts to call customer service only frustrated me more.

I then checked all the arms to find the same problem on both arms of the love seat. Standing back looking at the sofa, I visually noticed the one end appeared lower. I called and told them I wanted a new set on 9/17. They said they have to send out a repairman. He came 9/25 and said the arm is broken. Looking inside, it has 3 - 1 x 2's, so not strong at all.

    I then received a call on 9/26, which I missed, so I called back the person who left the message - wasn't in, but the girl I spoke to said she could not authorize my money back and told me they only had a 1-year warranty on structure and they would not strengthen the arms. I could either have a new set or have to pick out something else. Next customer service Tracy, who had been the original caller, said on 9/27 they would not beef up the arms and said the warranty is really 5 years, but they would not give me my money back. No one said anything about not getting your money back for an inferior set when we bought it.

    The return policy we since looked up says 14-day satisfaction guarantee and they would refund your money. We also looked now on our sales receipt and noticed the salesperson was supposed to have us read and initial that - they didn't. It says regarding refund on a damaged/defective product, "or refund your purchase price including the delivery fee," which they now refuse to do. We have since put in a dispute with Discover. We are retired; the set is a lot of money. It is shameful how Ashley treats its customers. We would have been more than happy to have a new set if they would strengthen the arms.

Again, I have owned this sofa for two years and I am the only person in this household. You might question that the 'cores' wore due to my weight; I have weighed at/approximately 175 pounds since I purchased this sofa. As I concluded in my prior comment dated this month, I believe the workmanship and quality of this particular piece of furniture to be poor.

The couches I previously had for 20 years were in excellent shape compared to what I purchased at Life Style Furniture store. I have only had them for a year and a half. They would have been fine as long as you did not sit on them. Cushions flattened and started to misshape in the first six months. Color on fabric where you sit has faded, the brown paint on what I guess is particle wood comes off, and has to be touched up with a marking pen. They are now uncomfortable to sit on and look like old furniture. There should be a lemon law for furniture like there is with cars. I am a single mom with one daughter and saved for a long time to be able to buy new furniture. This makes me sick and sad. The salesman said that "You got what you paid for."

The adage that you get what you pay for is true in this case. While prices are reasonable for this furniture, don't expect it to wear well and it's probably best to consider it for short term use.

    This is a follow-up for a post that I entered back in July of 2012 regarding a couch that I purchased from Ashley that came apart at the seams in about 7 to 8 different stops in less than 1 year. After not getting anywhere with Ashley's corporate customer service center of NY, I filed a small claims at my County Court in Nassau against the store that sold me the couch. Less than 2 weeks later, a store manager that I had previously been dealing with called me (not the corporate office) and told me she had good news: she got me approved for a re-selection. I eventually, to avoid the headache of having a court appearance, picked out their best edition Millennium leather couch that we liked and paid the difference. I received the couch yesterday and could not be happier with it (so far). I am still upset that I needed to go so far before they would do anything. My guess is this is how they keep their high rating with the BBB and the only way to get them to do anything is to file a small claims (cost me only $20). Lesson learned.

    I bought the South Bay Ashley Sleep mattress a year ago. Two weeks after I got it, I began complaining to my salesperson (at that time, Duluth, GA). At no time did she offer to have customer service come out and look at the mattress. I complained to the salesperson several times over the course of 6-8 months. Finally, the store closed and I learned I needed to contact the Buford store. I went in to have a drawer handle removed and discussed with them the mattress problem. (I purchased a bed, mattress, and adjustable frame.) Let me say, do not buy an adjustable frame and you will hear why as I go on.

    Finally months later, the warranty folks came out. Yep, my mattress needs to be replaced. Ok, so my choices were get the same mattress (which if it doesn't last a year, then it's a piece of junk)… So, I decided to do a reselection. That also was a nightmare. The salesperson only wanted to put me into a mattress that costs about $2,000 more than I spent on the mattress I had (which was about $1,000). The mattress he wanted to sell me was also an adjustable, but by Sealy. I really wasn't willing to give an adjustable mattress another chance. Then, I found out they wouldn't take back the adjustable frame and give me credit to use toward a box springs.

    You cannot put a regular mattress on an adjustable frame; manufacturer of frame doesn't recommend it and won't warranty it. So I'm stuck getting the same piece of, yeah that, mattress that will need to be replaced again in just a short while, and my sleep will never be comfortable. I haven't slept well in over a year and was hoping to get something with this 10-year warranty that came with my mattress. Let me also note that the warranty people kept telling me to talk to the Buford store manager (Edward). I've been trying to get him in the store (drove out there a couple times) and on the phone more times than I care to count, and he is never, and I mean never, in the store. He does not return your message, ever!

    I will never shop Ashley again and going back to Bassett down the street. The furniture I bought at Bassett for the rest of the house is in much better condition than this mattress or bed. The other poster stated they had issues with the bed; I do, too. My sideboards won't stay in. According to the warranty guy, it's because there is no weight (because of the adjustable) to hold them in. They pop out all the time, and with a head and footboard, I just wait for the day the bed falls apart while I'm lying in it. I spent thousands on a good bed, and I thought, thousands on a good adjustable frame and mattress. Well, the frame is still holding up (frame by Leggett & Platt), but the mattress is no good and Leggett & Platt won't do anything but leave me stuck with this frame. I will be buying a new mattress and box springs, but it surely will not be from Ashley Furniture.

    Nails are popping out of the frame on our sofa and loveseat in multiple places. Both are one year old and only get seasonal usage in the summer since we don't use that room in the winter. The nails are sticking out quite far and are ruining the upholstery on the cushions, not to mention it's dangerous and we have a toddler running around. The 'insurance' doesn't cover this, apparently, but they will give me names of repairmen in my town that I can hire to fix it. How nice! Beware of the horrendous service and shoddy quality furniture.

    We have recently moved into a new home and need new furniture to replace what we got rid of when we moved and to also fill more space as our new home is larger. We stopped in the Bel Air, MD Ashley Furniture store on July 6, 2012 hoping to take advantage of the Independence Day sale that was going on. After browsing through the store (while constantly being lurked upon by a shameless salesman) and then leaving to visit another nearby furniture store, we returned to Ashley and purchased a sofa and chair for the family room as well as a casual dining set for the kitchen. We were told that our furniture would be delivered in 2 to 6 weeks.

    To make a long story short, it is now 9 weeks later and we still do not have our furniture. We have been given three different dates on three different occasions of when our furniture will arrive. Each time, the date comes and goes and we do not receive even a phone call from the store. We have been told that the couch and chair came in right after we placed our order, but the dining set has not come in yet. In the meantime, we are sitting on fold-up lawn chairs in the family room and eating at a card table. We have spoken with the store several times and they refuse to deliver our sofa/chair until the dining set arrives. They refuse to discount our purchase or do anything to rectify the problem. They are rude and lack any customer service skills whatsoever. We have a lot more furniture that we need to buy and it most definitely will not be from Ashley Furniture.

    Never, ever shop at Ashley. I purchased a sectional and a dining room set for my daughter. After the wait of 4 weeks, I received a call to let me know that the frame on the sectional was damaged, and I would not be receiving it, and it would be assessed by an adjuster, and hopefully, they can fix it. I paid for new furniture, not repaired furniture. After a long battle on the phone, I was able to cancel the sectional without having to pay the 25% restocking fee, but it is not over yet. When the dining room furniture arrived, one of the chairs has a notch out of the bottom of one of the legs and another wobbles. We expressed our concerns to the delivery fellow, and he said that we have 2 days to call and report any damages. This was a Friday night, about 8:00 MST, and of course, the Winnipeg office is now closed.

    I tried calling Saturday morning, and the office is closed for the weekend. I called the store and they said not a problem and to call the main office on Monday. Well, I did that and a service adjuster was to come out a week later. Of course, the service adjuster does not show up. I called, and by this time, I have had enough. Keep in mind the company has a 100% peace of mind policy. I asked them to come and get the furniture because it was going to be another 2 weeks before someone could come out and have a look, and then I was told that they will either have to order in pieces or replace the entire set and again the 3-4 week waiting period.

    This is **! The manager told me if they were to pick it up, I would pay a 25% restocking fee. What a joke. I was not satisfied with it on delivery. I am still not satisfied and I will never be satisfied with their product. The funny thing is I went to the Brick on a Thursday, purchased another sectional, and it was delivered the next day in perfect condition. I had asked my daughter not to shop there because 4 years earlier, I purchased furniture from there and it was 20 weeks and I had to settle for floor model pieces. I even had to petition the store (yes, with sandwich boards and flyers) to get a manager to call me to get my product. I can't stress it enough - never, ever shop at Ashley unless it is this Saturday, because I will be out there with flyers and a bright sandwich board expressing my true feelings to any customer driving in to shop there.

    We bought a bedroom set from the Ashley Furniture store on Queens Blvd. on August 10. We were told that the delivery would be on August 17. I received a call from the store on August 16 telling me that the head board was damaged, but I could still get the pieces that are available. We told them that we wanted the entire set; therefore, we would wait until the piece that was missing is available for delivery. I then was promised that the set that we paid $2,600 for would be delivered on August 30. Guess what, today is September 6 and we are still sleeping on the floor waiting for our bedroom set.

    In doing so, I had to wait 3 weeks before delivery which was pretty odd because I have never heard such a thing, but I waited. The day my furniture was delivered, I saw the delivery guy pull out a black marker and started coloring on either the footboard or headboard of the bedroom set. I asked what he was doing, he said that it was scratch. So, I immediately called Ashley Furniture and discussed it with the administration. She had me to email pictures to an employee on July 28, 2012. It was horrible to have the furniture delivered to my home 3 weeks later damaged and not put together well after I had paid for it. That is not customer satisfaction or good customer service.

    On top of that, it took the tech a little over 2 weeks later to come to my home and to take his own pictures, to recommend that my bedroom be replaced. In the meantime, I had to deal with Denise and she was not customer friendly. I did not appreciate her attitude doing this process, so much that I have chosen not to deal with her. Period. I have also taken my concern to the store manager (John **), who seem to be very nonchalant about the whole process and has chosen not to do anything.

    We bought a dining room table and chairs, two trundle beds, couch, ottoman and coffee table. The biggest problem is the dining room table and chairs. The table we thought we purchased in the store didn’t look like someone took a sharpie marker and drew lines about one-inch long against the grain of the wood. I counted 44 marks against the grain of the wood. This isn’t what the floor model looked like from the one that we purchased. They sent a replacement which we didn’t accept because it looked the same as the one that we received the first time.

    When we talked to them, they say its distressed furniture. I can accept that, but the table we looked at in the store didn’t have not one mark. The rungs on the chairs are so cheap we have had two breaks already. This is where you rest your feet on the stool. The trundle beds we bought had 5 knobs fall off the first week. We aren’t big people or rough on things. I just feel like we shopped at a cheap store and I want a table I can look at instead of putting a tablecloth over it.

    I bought my furniture from Ashley’s in Jacksonville, NC in like April and then I picked it up on May 29th. I drove to California because that's where the military moved me next. On June 15th, I get my apartment and me and my husband put everything together except for the bed. We put the bed together and we try to put our box spring in it, but it doesn't fit and we keep trying and trying and it still doesn't fit. So, I called Sagely Furniture out here and the female on the phone was not helpful, so I drove up to Ashley's so I could talk to the manager about my bed rails. They said that they couldn't do anything because they are a different franchise. I was like okay.

    So, they bring me this lady named ** and she said that she knew some people and that she was going to take care of it. I called the people in Jacksonville and told them that they gave me the wrong bed rails and the manager verified that they were still in the warehouse over there and he said that he was going to get them sent send it out to me. I told the lady don't worry about it over here in Oceanside and she was like okay. Then she was like, “Well, is there anything that particular you were looking for?”

    Need I remind you that I only came there for them to help me with my bed rails? I said, “No, not really, because I don't have the money to pay for it right now, but I do want to look to see what I want to buy in the future because I still wanted a TV stand and a dinning room table.” So, she showed me the TV stands and I told her that I want my husband to pick it because that's the guy’s thing. My husband didn't see anything that he likes and so she took us over to the dinning room tables and I don't see anything that I like.

    She said, “What kind of purchase will you be making today?” And I said, “I told you I'm not buying anything. I'm just looking.” So, she went on to say, “Well, are you financed through us?” I said yes, I am and I haven't even started paying on the furniture that I have now and I'm not going to buy anything. Then she said, “Well, we'll give you money and you can pay it back whenever.” I said no and I don't want to; I mainly just came here so she could help me with my bed rails in which Ashley's have the wrong one and now she expects me to put myself in more debt to get this table and TV stand? I don't need it that bad. So, she harassed me the entire time I was in the store trying to force me to buy something that I didn't want to buy.

    She came up to me on numerous occasions asking me if I want to buy or finance and they’ll give me money. So, I was getting ready to leave because my husband was getting really upset and so was I. She got me before I left and she said, “Well, do you have any credit cards? Any credit cards, two or three?” I said no. She said, “Oh, well, if you do, then you can put $25 on one and $25 on the other,” because she wanted me to put a down payment after I told her that I'm not buying anything. I left and I'm never shopping at Ashley's Furniture again.

    My bed rails just came finally 3 days ago. It’s been almost 2 and a half months before they finally sent them to me and it wasn't the rails that were in Jacksonville. They order them in part, so it came in pieces. I was at that point that all I could do was laugh because I've never seen so many mistakes from one company. They need to fire that lady ** because she chased me away. I really did want to buy something there just later on and she called my cell phone 4 times before she stopped calling. This is the first complaint I have filed with anyone ever! It shouldn't have to come down to this. It’s ridiculous and I hope you take this into consideration. If not, then I’ll call, too. People don't deserve this. It’s very rude.

    I have been purchasing furniture through Ashley Furniture in Live Oak, Texas since 2010 after arriving home from Iraq. The first few orders went good, but from then on, there were numerous issues with ordering the correct furniture by the salesman, not informing me of the policies before purchase, etc. I was given a ripped leather furniture and then they told me to write it on the pickup paper and told me to still take it. They would come out and exchange it since it was also the wrong set. When nobody came out, I went to the store and they said they would get somebody out to repair the furniture. And when they exchange the wrong loveseat, I would have to pay the delivery fee. I told them I was not going to pay any delivery fee as it was not a mistake of mine - it was their mistake and it was brand new furniture that they wouldn't take back after I spent a large amount of money on the leather set.

    Next, I ordered a new headboard for my bedroom set as it was damaged during my move. The store delivered only part of the headboard and two pieces were missing. A year has now gone by and I still have not received the other two pieces or a refund. Then, when I bought another piece of furniture, the store drew out money for a delivery fee when the furniture was not delivered - it was picked up by me. It took pulling teeth and constant complaining in order to receive my refund - and then given wrong information about what the refund was for by John **. As I called the store yesterday to inquire again about the two pieces of furniture they promised to deliver three weeks ago, I was once again passed around by four different employees who made it difficult to speak to a manager.

    After finally speaking to the manager, John **, he was extremely rude. He said that I was the one who didn't answer my phone a week later after the delivery was supposed to be made. He would be happy if I did not shop at his store anymore. He is also the one who has broken the promises to fix the issues from before. The only person I have ever been able to speak to through this store who has helped and was pleasant was the sales manager, **. I still have not received my product from a year ago. This place has become too big and therefore treat people with corporate attitudes. The front desk service employees had no clue what was going on with things and were not properly trained. To deal with people who send you round and round in order to create confusion and not resolve the issue seems to me like a scam to take people's money.

    I ordered a bedroom set for my son from Ashley Furniture. The delivery came two weeks after purchase as expected. When the delivery arrived, the men kept leaving my front door open resulting in my toddler son trying to follow them outside. The set up took about 15 minutes. I did not get a chance to inspect the furniture before the men left. Once I looked at it, I noticed a large chip in the wood on the bottom of the foot board. I called the customer service number and asked for a replacement piece. I understand that accidents happen and was not upset. I just wanted it fixed. I was told that it would take two weeks for someone to come to my house to see if they would repair it. After explaining that the time frame is unacceptable, I requested to return the furniture. I was told to contact the manager at the store I purchased the furniture from.

    I purchased an electric recliner from Ashley's furniture. When it was delivered, I realized that day that the recliner was not for me. I went in the next day and asked if I could return it because I had back problems and it had no support. When I sat on it for any length of time, there was a huge gap in the back which caused a greater back problem due to no support. They showed me the small print where it said, "no returns" and I was shocked that the salesman did not even mention that. Shame on me for not reading the fine print. I bought the warranty but it wasn't broken so that did not help. I am stuck with a chair where I will have to resell or donate. Don't buy this chair if you have back problems or check out the gap in the back when you sit down. The recliner is the Matinee DuraBlend- Eclipse 87401.

    My husband and I purchased a couch with recliners built in on July 4, 2012. They were to deliver the couch the next week. The couch was the leather Braxton sectional. Total purchase was $2,400. They delivered the couch and I noticed that the leather in the side of the couch was cut immediately. I refused the couch and Ashley set up another delivery date for replacement. The first thing that I realized when I called customer care was that they wanted to repair the couch, a new couch, they wanted to repair. I refused and demanded another couch. Long story short, after three more attempts to replace the damaged couch, the other couches had similar cuts in the leather material and some were torn. The store sales manager, Elizabeth, was kind and asked us to come into the store and pick a different couch. We did that several weeks ago and picked out a new couch with a recliner. I pointed out to Elizabeth that the Braxton sectional on the showroom floor also had damage to the leather material and showed it to her.

    She adjusted our bill and waived the delivery fee. We received the couch and have been pleased. They have delivered two recliners so far and they have been damaged with cuts to the leather. This will be an actual cut in the leather that shows white, like a knife cut. We are still waiting for the recliner. They have delivered two damaged ones and we have refused them after inspection. We are waiting on another one this week. They have tried to bill us for the furniture and we are refusing to pay until the furniture is delivered and we are satisfied. The furniture is not good quality. It appears that it is damaged furniture that they are reselling. The store and the employees there are helpful and have been helpful throughout this process. Customer care has been horrible. Sometimes when the delivery truck comes, it is an Enterprise Rental truck and not an Ashley Furniture truck. That seems very sketchy to me.

I received three calls on the Thursday before delivery stating a time my furniture would be delivered. I received a person to person call stating the furniture would not be delivered and they needed to reschedule. I told them the date I would be available and it was scheduled. I asked what was the issue and the young lady hung up on me. I immediately called back but got no answer. I called several more times that day and finally someone said there was a problem with the manufacturer.

    On August 11th, my furniture was scheduled to arrive between 1-4. I called at 3:30 to see if furniture was still going to be delivered. I spoke with a young man and he said yes. He called back about 30 minutes later saying the truck was delayed 2 hours because of weather (rain). I told them don't bother coming because I had to leave town. I called the store I purchased the furniture from and explained what was going on. Again, I was hung up on by a female that answered. I called back and asked to speak to the salesman, **. He offered to give me a credit of the delivery charge but of course, I was not satisfied with this. I have been inconvenienced almost a month at this point. I asked to speak to a manager and I was told one wasn't available. I called back again, yelling and screaming, and finally a manager (**) came to the phone.

    Unfortunately, my cell phone dropped the signal so when I called back, I could not get back to him. The following Monday, August 13th, I called the store at least six times and left a message to have a manager call me back. It never happened. Tuesday, August 14th, I called again about 10 times and still no return call. I decided to dispute the charge with my bank since I couldn't get any satisfaction from the store. I went into the store on 8/20 and spoke with a female manager and she said they were processing my refund from the home office. I wasn't given anything in writing so I don't know when this is going to happen. She said it was being processed since 8/14. I went to the website and everything on the web says the stores are individually owned and each store handles their refund. I just feel like I am getting a runaround.

    They seriously dropped the ball and for management not to call me back after almost 20 phone calls is ridiculous. I am beyond upset and highly disappointed. I just want my full purchase price back which was over $2,100. I don't feel like I should have to pay a 5% restocking fee because the store should have returned my calls or provided better customer service. I have even called the store asking for the home office phone number and address and I was only given a phone number. I haven't tried to call yet because I don't want to be upset. I just think this company should be reported for its poor business practice.

    My husband and I purchased a bedroom set from Ashley furniture in late July. Then, the gentleman in the store stated that our furniture will be delivered Saturday, August 4, 2012, so we went out and purchased a new mattress. We received a phone call stating that our furniture will not be delivered due to the set being back ordered and it will be delivered on Saturday, August 11, 2012. We then received another phone call stating that our furniture will not be delivered because their warehouse did not have the rails for the bed, but they can do a partial delivery.

    I then called Ashley furniture complaining and inquiring on what was the problem. This has been such an inconvenience for me and my husband because we are sleeping on the floor with a brand new mattress. We did not pay for our furniture on credit - it was paid in cash. The CSR offered us a $50 gift card which I denied because our tax and delivery charge was much more than that. Then, a supervisor got on the phone, offered me $175, and said that our furniture will be delivered Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - the other pieces will be delivered on August 11, 2012. I agreed.

    We received another phone call that our bed will not be delivered until Saturday, August 18, 2012. Our confirmation time was between 10:30 am and 2:30 pm. We then received a phone call at 1:40 pm from one of Ashley's delivery men that they had a flat tire and they should be at my home in an hour and a half, which would make it 3:00pm. At 3:00 pm, they still were not here. I called Ashley furniture and spoke to a Sue Ann who was unhelpful and nasty. I explained my situation and my aggravation and I got nowhere. I called the driver to see where he was and I got his voicemail.

    I can't believe how a paying customer can be treated this way. I don't think $175 would compensate the problems my husband and I have endured the last couple of weeks. This experience has been the worst I have ever had to deal with. A $3,000 furniture set to get treated like this, in this economy, they are lucky we even have the money to pay for it.

I was told that the defect was a manufacturer's responsibility and would not be covered by Montage, but Montage would intervene with Ashley to get the table repaired/replaced.

    Eventually, Montage informed me that Ashley would not repair/replace the table and recommended that I speak to the manager at Ashley, where I purchased the table. I went, spoke to the manager and was told that they could do nothing to help me. They must have been trained by Pontius Pilate because they are experts at washing their hands of any issue. He gave me the telephone number to Ashley's headquarters. I called and was told that the table imperfection was not the fault or responsibility of Ashley. Period. End of story.

    I bought a living room set from them. I was sold warranty mentioning that it will cover all damages. I placed a call and someone came out to inspect it. I was told they cannot cover the repairs under warranty. I told them give me in writing that you cannot cover this damages. They refuse and don’t even give you a straight answer. I am told the damage is too much and is not covered. It doesn't say anything on warranty as to what kind of damage it covers. Their warranty sucks. The whole company is made up of liars. They never help you. Never buy anything from them. They are thieves and rude to customers.

    Mattress cover RH#19238 Holland Home 20HT3 - The first time I washed the item, as instructed, all the filler inside came out. I returned to Kohl's in Tom River. They gave me a new one. The second one, as I removed it from the bed, I noticed it was tearing at the seams. The filler was coming out. I feel that I would like to be compensated for the product - I can't use it. I'm not sure if I still have the receipt. I paid approximately $100 for the item. Please get in touch with me.

    As a former employee of Ashley, I can attest that buyer beware has real implications at Ashley stores. First, ask to see the return policy in writing before you do anything. Basically, hidden on the back of the invoice is a section that states all sales final. No refunds. You will not be shown this but after you sign the front of the invoice, you are pretty much **. Read and research Ashley online before you do business with these people. Deceptive business practices are the only thing they know.

    I purchased a headboard and footboard this past March. My husband sat on the bed this morning and cracked the bed rail which holds the slats, not the outside nice piece but the inside piece that is nothing but "hot air", lighter than a cloud. It is not made to hold up a box-spring plus mattress, plus an active married couple in the slightest sense. It's not solid wood. Now they say, "We will be nice," and ship to us the piece and it will be up to us to take the bed apart and rebuild it. My husband is not a handy man in the slightest sense. It's a beautiful headboard and footboard, but what good are they if the rails and slats are not built a solid structure? They will only replace it if "it's still in production". If not, how do we fix it? Everyone read Ashley Furniture Warranties! They are a horrible customer service company. Do not buy from them. If there is a law case. I want to be involved. Contact me ASAP. Thank you.

    Do not buy your furniture from Ashley's. Repeat this 3x and tell someone else. The reason is reduced to precisely one: store return policy. There is none. In most cases, you'll find furniture you like in a showroom, visualize it in your room, buy it and have it delivered. In those rare, unusual cases, you' find yourself second guessing your choice - color scheme, size, etc. You would like to believe that a major, national furniture retail chain as large as Ashley's would have a reasonable return policy. For instance, at Macy's you have 3 days to return your purchase with a restocking fee, not at Ashley's. I'm not the first nor the last to be misled. They say that the sales rep will review this important information with you. They don't and if you can decipher it in the agreement, good for you.

    If you don't trust this review, go online and google it. If you believe in good customer service, fair business practices, then boycott Ashley's. Buy at Macy's, Plummers, Urban Home or a local furniture outlet.

    We bought dining, living, and bedroom furniture and were told all items would be delivered the next day between 5 and 8 pm, except the bed, chest and night stand. The delivery took place as scheduled around 7:30 pm. The remaining items were to be delivered within a week. On Thursday before the Friday delivery, we got a call that the remaining items would be delayed another week. After complaining, we agreed to wait. The lady told me it was the manufacturer and they had no control over the manufacturer (turns out the manufacturer is Ashley). Today is Thursday (week later) and we get a call our remaining items will be delivered between 4 and 7:30 pm on Saturday (that's right, Saturday night). This is the worst company I've had the pleasure of purchasing from and I can tell you now it's my last dealings with them. Everyone you talk to will tell you something different. Do not be fooled by this sorry company and their sorry service.

    What you feel in comfort is not what you get when delivered. I bought a $3,300 Call king Stearns & Foster Plush mattress. The store model is soft. What was delivered is concrete hard. The mattresses are relabeled with Ashley's tags when delivered. This is not the mattress I tried in the stored several times. I believe they are displaying a different softer model in the store and delivering a firm, or worse, ultra firm mattress on delivery. I cannot even sleep on this bed nor can I exchange it.

    I had the same experience one month ago with a recliner. The one in the store was comfortable; the one delivered was rock hard. I had to throw the brand new recliner away. What a total rip off Ashley's Furniture store is. Do not buy anything from this store. I can buy from any other store in town and get the exact comfort that is displayed in the store without Ashley’s comment of "Well, it has to be broken in. The ones in the store have been sat or laid on. Give it some time." Not true, Ashley. Talk to Garret's Furniture or La-Z-Boy. They deliver exactly what is displayed.

    Bedroom Set: bed and foot board, dresser, nightstand, chest - The entire bedroom set is of extreme poor workmanship, quality. The seams are exposing wood (think it's press board), chips and nicks in the veneer. The screws into press board causing future hole. The mattress is 4-1/2 thick. The box spring is of poor quality and very noisy. It sounds like it is broken and the mattress sags on top. I had only 1 month. I have complained from day three. The salesman lied and said the showroom floor mattress would be the one shipped with the bed when we opted out for the expensive Ashley Posturepedic. Due to the size of mattress, head almost hits night stand corner. Have to put a pillow there for protection. They outright lied about the type mattress that they sent with the bed.

    Every piece of furniture has a defect of some sort on it in many different areas. Veneer separating, dings, missing veneer. All these defects were sent to Ashley and they are doing nothing about it. We will have to take them to small claims court to get our money back. Do not do business with them, they sell junk furniture and their customer service is unhelpful.

    We purchased a couch and furniture set from Ashley's Furniture 2 and half years ago, which was made up of a couch, loveseat, chair, ottoman. Our couch frame snapped in half at two spots, and springs from the couch came loose. Nails that hold the couch fabric in place on the side of the couch have been coming out also. We are two responsible, clean adults with no children. Our furniture has been very well taken care of since purchased new from Ashley's Furniture. I called Ashley's store in Potsdam, NY and talked with Bruce in April 2012. I stated there was a 5-yr limited warranty on our couch. It would be an $80 fee to come to our house, or we can drop off the couch for a $55/hr fee, parts covered under warranty.

    We chose to get it fixed at our expense since the couch matched our whole furniture set. By the time we borrowed a truck to drop off the couch, 3 months had gone by. Now, the labor rate, we are told, is $75/hr. Also, they stated the couch needs extensive work and full restoration on the frame. They also stated the couch might not be fixable, so we might be "out a couch." All on a couch that's 2 and half years old? What quality is that? I tried calling the company direct, and got the runaround and they referred me back to the store. The Ashley's store referred me to the company. I did get a form from the Attorney General to fill out for warranty/quality. We're also trying this. Our couch has been there almost a week now while we dispute about fixing it or replacing it.
