    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.

    We bought a king size bed and a dining room set. The dining room set is nice but the bed broke 3 times since we purchased it - a design flaw. They used plywood instead of metal to support the bed and that's why it broke 3 times. They are lucky that the bed rails didn't break this time. All I did was strip a screw on one of the rails. 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. I have only had the bed a year and a half - this is the third time it broke (same problem), and you can't do anything to help me out? Are you serious? What?

    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.

    I purchased two mattress sets from Ashley in Houston, Texas. The mattress set I ordered for my room is terrible! My sheets will not stay on the bed; the bed sags and is completely uncomfortable. I called to return/exchange and was told by Customer Care that I had 14 days to call the store. I called the store and they said there was a no return policy on mattress sets? What?! They told me it was a health concern ... really? Mattress Firm has a 100-day return policy. I had also ordered a cherry wood headboard. When they brought it, it was brown so, of course, that was returned. The delivery people were late and rude. I will never set foot in an Ashley Furniture store again!

    We purchased a mattress and box springs in 2010. Horrible, it finally came to the point we had to call and get someone out to look at it. The tech showed up and said there was 1 1/2 - 2 inch sag, and box springs made popping noises. When we purchased the set, the salesman said, “Don't remove warranty tag under the mattress,” so we didn't. We did, however, have to remove annoying law tag because it was annoying. Long story short, now they won’t warranty the mattress even though the warranty sticker is still on the mattress. Ashley Furniture is a joke. I won’t even get into the nightmare of original purchase and having to wait 6 months for chairs for dining room table.

    We ordered 2 leather loveseats and a leather recliner from Ashley. 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.

    Also, we have another sofa and loveseat we bought from Ashley about 2 years ago. The sofa (insides) are now falling apart as the supports are starting to fail. I only weigh 130 and my husband is 180. Their furniture is garbage. Stay away.

    I paid in cash and purchased a sofa on 12/24/12 as Christmas gift and was told that it would take 4-6 weeks for it to be delivered (the receipt also said the same). By the end of January, I started calling, only to be repeatedly told next week was estimated time for delivery. Finally, today someone told me that the sofa was on backorder, and there is no guarantee that it will be made. The new estimate is 2/26/13. If the sofa is not available by then, I can apply for a refund and wait 21 days to get my money back, at which time they will have had my cash for three months, and I will have no sofa.

    I bought a sectional a few weeks ago. I waited on Sunday for my delivery. After one of the delivery guys dropped half of the sectional on the ground, they got it inside of the apartment. The plastic was ripped open to find half of the sectional (that wasn't dropped on the ground) the color that I had ordered. The other half of the sectional was a different color. I called Customer Service and after complaining, the response I received was, "We have to see when we will have it in stock." I was also told that I will get a $75 refund, which is not even close to the delivery charge. The problem is still not resolved. Needless to say, I will never shop with Ashley Furniture again.

    Before I begin, let me just say that the guy who sold us our couch and the men who delivered two thirds of it were great! Now let's begin. I ordered a three piece couch seven weeks ago. We had two thirds of it delivered last week. Customer service was supposed to call and tell us that they weren't going to have the entire set delivered at the same time and didn't. Instead, they let the guys who delivered the couch break the news to us. We were supposed to have our couch in four to six weeks and we don't. Customer service was supposed to call us weekly to update us on the status of our delivery and didn't. From what I've read online about Ashley Furniture, I shudder to think how long it's going to be before we get the last piece.

    I called their customer service, but they're closed Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. I'm not at all happy with how long this has taken and how miserably customer service has handled this. I will take my business elsewhere next time.

    I would like to file a complaint against Ashley Furniture home store in New Brunswick, New Jersey. We are new homeowners and bought over $10k worth of merchandise from Ashley in New Brunswick. 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. Friends and family are horrified to see what we have been through. This whole ordeal has been going on since October. My advice is stay away!

    We purchased the extended warranty. Each time we had to tap into that warranty, somehow, it didn't cover any of the problems at hand. Furniture is falling apart, leather is being stripped, and seat cushions are falling through the framework. Warranty company states it will not cover any damages because these pieces were called in at the same time which means that the customer is utilizing the furniture wrong?! Think twice before you buy from here. The furniture is cheaply made despite the price tag.

    My husband and I ordered a dining room set and sectional. Of course, we get a phone call while the delivery's in transit that the dining room table was damaged, so Ashley would send another. We believed them, but they forgot to mention that the table's on backorder and will not be in the warehouse until March 4th, almost three months later from the complaint of the damaged table. Now onto the sectional, nightmare! The sofa was put together but missing one leg because the manufacturer didn't drill a hole for it.

    The delivery guy’s drill wasn't charged, so they couldn't drill the hole. They contacted a CS rep who then said they would send out a tech. I called to get a date and the CS rep stated that they'll call me within 5-7 business days. There was no call, so I called again. I've been placed on hold by the CS and they never came back. I've been calling daily and finally, a CS rep told me that the Regional Manager for my area has about 6 or 7 stores to manage, and they're behind on "help tickets." She then told me the Regional Manager will call. Surprisingly, she did and I missed the call by 1 minute. She left this long message asking whether I needed the "insert" or the "leg". Really? While listening to the message on my cell, I was dialing Ashley from my house. I called back immediately and she was gone for the day.

    Really, she called a customer to resolve a compliant and leave for the day. I called CS and they said, “She gets off at 5.” I stated, “She didn't want to help because she just called me a minute ago.” Unbelievable. She calls a minute before she gets off. I have called several times since and to no avail. I have left my name and number, but no return calls. I have been left on hold and no one ever comes back to the phone. I will never purchase from Ashley again. Also, beware; Ashley, Regency, and Marlow are owned by the same company.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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 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.

    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.

(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.

    Poor service after the sale - I purchased a 3-piece sectional. The store delivered the wrong item. The other item was damaged. I was told I would be contacted the same night for re-delivery date. No one called. I called Ashley the following morning. I was transferred to someone who said I would receive a return call. No one ever returned my call. Meanwhile this purchase was supposed to be made by Christmas and it is now 12/27 and still no one from Ashley furniture in Waterford Lakes has called me to address this problem.

    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. Being a senior on a fixed income doesn't make me any less of a person, just too trusting at times.

    I ordered a couch (and gave dimensions) and it was set to be delivered. It was paid for in cash. The wrong couch was ordered and the manager is insisting I must pay a $175 restocking fee (a week before the couch was to be delivered). In addition, for canceling the order, I was told I have to pay 30% of the cost. When I tried to explain it was their error, the manager became rude and told me I cannot get all of my money back. I was told the only way to speak to the next manager up was via email, so I sent him an email yesterday and have not heard back yet.

    We are writing to inform you how misled we were into believing the elite protection plan we purchased would cover dog damage. This has resulted in us, as customers, dissatisfaction. 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. Ashley Furniture will no longer get any referrals from us and we will be sure to inform people how this business treats their customers. We are new homeowners therefore a lot of business you have lost. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere. They did nothing!

Then, I got a voice mail to call the store to schedule the delivery. I called on a Friday and was told the chair would be delivered on Sunday. Saturday night I get a 2nd call to "schedule" an already scheduled delivery. How the chair disappeared is beyond me. I drove to the store and got no help finding my chair from the manager.

    My wife and I were shopping for a bed for our 2 toddlers. We visited the Ashley Furniture branch by our home in Santa Clarita, CA. We found a model that we liked and asked a salesperson to give use a quote for the bed frame and mattress. The sales person logged on to a computer nearby to (supposedly) get us pricing info. It took her about an hour (yes, an hour!) to give us a price which she wrote on a piece of paper. Since part of our process was to canvass other stores, we asked the salesperson for the sheet of paper containing the quote (note that Ashley advertises that they do price matching).

    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.

When we picked up the furniture, the box was destroyed and we asked to look it over but they said that we couldn't because the box was so damaged and if we opened it, the furniture wouldn't be perfected to take home.

After calling back a second time, finally we got a call; but all that person said was sorry and another department would have to call us and said it should be in 24 hours.

    We bought a long dining room table and eight chairs from Ashley's in Bel Air, MD last year. Within a month, we could see and feel that the chairs were sinking in the middle (loss of resiliency, they call it). All 8 chairs have the same problem. When we turn them around, we could see that there is no support underneath, no wood base or anything that will keep the seating from sinking in, very bad construction!

    We called the warranty company (we paid for the protection plan) and they said to call the store to resolve the issue. 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.

    We never took the chairs back if you were wondering. My handy husband fixed them all. We figured that would be the easiest thing to do since more than likely, we would have had the chairs replaced for something of the same or lesser quality.

    I purchased 4 pcs of furniture on Sept. 3rd. My furniture came Oct. 2nd. I slept on my new mattress for 2 days and immediately knew that I didn't like it because it was not comfortable. 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." I stated that I did see that on my ticket but certainly there was something that could be done. I was willing to pay a restocking fee and I would switch out the pc of furniture that was too big, therefore not taking anyone's commission away. 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. I said I would, but in the meantime, she made an appointment for someone to come out Oct. 9th. No one showed up on Oct. 9th. I called and left messages with Melissa for Kim to call me ASAP. I explained what happened, and she said she was sorry but no one had me on the schedule. So she scheduled me for Oct. 16th. In the meantime, I asked for Melissa to have Kim call me. She never did.

    For 10 days, I called; and she never called me back. On the 16th, the mattress tech showed up. I explained that I didn't think it was damaged. He pretty much agreed stating that it was a slight indentation in the middle. I didn't hear back from anyone on the 17th or 18th, and I called on the 19th. Melissa was hesitant to page Kim, as she said that there was nothing she could do. My reasoning for contacting Kim was because she and I had a conversation about my furniture. I told her that I understood about the policy, but certainly, I wasn't the first dissatisfied customer. She agreed and said they wanted happy customers. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Ashley Furniture Homestore doesn't care for its customers. They only want your money and they don't care if it takes 2-3 months for you to get your furniture.

    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.

    I purchased bunk beds for my grand kids. 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.

    I spent three hours in a store with a nice salesman. When he went to complete the order, I was told one of the items was out of stock and would be available in three weeks. The total purchase would have been over $5000. The item out of stock was a bed. Mattress was available. 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. They said there was nothing they could do. We attempted to call the area manager, who of course did not respond. We posted this in FB and within hours it was removed.

    We purchased the Crawford sofa/love seat at the Ashley store in Eau Claire, WI. It was delivered on 9/12/12. When I pulled out the sofa, I noticed a horrible popping noise on the arm. 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. Arms are not just to look at; people use them to rise from a seated position, especially older people. Beware, the arms on Ashley furniture could collapse and injure your elderly parents/grandparents.

It looks hideous and I wrote a letter to the headquarters of Ashley. Although they did call me on it, the only thing they could tell me was to call the store where it was purchased. It was purchased in Mohave Valley, AZ and that store is no longer in business and it seems like they could not help me at all. Although I really liked my couch and loveseat, the poor finish on my tables would make it in all likelihood that I would never purchase any thing from Ashley Furniture and I would sure mention the fact to friends and acquaintances.

    I was able to finally arrange a service call appointment through Morris Home Furnishings/Ashley Furniture. I spoke with Sherri, who was friendly and accommodating. The service technician arrived on 09/27/12 and determined that the problem wasn't with the springs but the 'cores' of the cushions. I am assuming the core is the foam insert. 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. If you are reading this, you are probably making a determination where to purchase furniture. I wish I had researched this manufacturer prior to making my purchase, but you might find an excellent find at Ashley, and I hope you will.

The furniture looked beautiful when I bought it but the quality is terrible. My neighbor bought a couch at a yard sale that is in better shape than mine. 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." They tried to compensate me with more of the same foam for cushions that will have to be replaced in a short time.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    Within two weeks from the day we purchased this furniture worth $2,000, the dinning set started coming off into pieces. Let me clarify that my wife and I are less than 160 pounds. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the bed. Someday, we are sure to end up breaking our bones. I hope I had come to the website before we made the purchase. It's a big no ever for Ashley.

    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 contacted that manager and was told that I would be responsible for the delivery fee as well as a pick up fee for the furniture. I do not feel I am responsible for any of these fees. I am a paying customer who was wanting my purchase amount back for damaged goods they sent me. I have reported this incident to the BBB. Never shop at Ashley Furniture!

    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. I went to another furniture store and they told me they have a short time return policy. I'm disappointed in Ashley's Furniture - I won't buy from them again.

At one point, she elaborated to tell us that we would get it there. It was ordered in and when we called to make arrangements to pick it up, we were told that it was at a warehouse in another county some distance from us and that they would not bring it to the store. The manager's only solution was to deliver it - for a charge. The consequence is that tomorrow we will take delivery at the warehouse in Brandon, about 40 miles from the store.

    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 purchased a sectional and a warranty from Ashley's. I had problems right away. All four cushions were ripping. I tried to get a hold of the insurance company a few times by leaving a message, but no one got back to me. I kept calling and finally got a hold of someone. They sent someone out. The man who came out said that they may cover this, but he was not sure. He said that the sectional was used too much! I said to the guy, "Are you joking me? That is what a couch is for!" They did fix the problem. Then the same thing happened to the sectional again, not in the same spots. I finally got a hold of someone to set an appointment for someone to come and look at the problem.

    Right from the beginning, the girl who answered the phone said that I waited too long to contact them. She said that it should have been within five days! My God, are they kidding me? How long do they think it took me to finally get a hold of them! They did send someone out and it was the same guy they sent before. I never heard from them, not until I called them to see what had happened with my claim. They put me on hold, they came back one minute later and said that I had waited too long. I asked them to refund the money I gave them for the insurance due to not helping me with my ripped sectional.

    I forgot to say, the first time they fixed the ripped cushions, they had me put the new covers on them that they dropped off at my home. All I can say is do not buy anything at Ashley's Furniture!

    I purchased furniture from Ashley Furniture Homestore located at 108 Harbison Blvd, Columbia, SC on 7/11/12. I was told by my salesman, **, that my furniture would be delivered on 7/28/12. 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.

    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 **.

    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 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.

I had a pretty good disagreement with the manager when I explained that the couch is a lemon or poor craftsmanship. It has been a 2-3 month process, but they are scheduled to come and replace the entire back end to resolve the second issue. Now, today, the couch was ordered exactly 1 year ago and when I looked at the couch and another cushion has come apart at the seams on both sides. I am reading that after the 1 year contract that seams are not covered with the extended contract. I will call them to make sure, but I would like to file a formal complaint against Ashley.

    We have bought a dining table set. Chairs were the ones we ordered but the table that got delivered was not the one we have ordered. The top part matched what we have ordered but the 4 legs of the table were in a completely different color and different shape. I called to complain and they said it could not be because that particular model only comes in one color and one shape. I was so angry and showed them the picture that I took when we actually bought it, and the picture of what was delivered. After that, they said they will look into it. I wonder what would have happened if I did not take the picture and did not get to show them the difference. Do not be fooled by their politeness, they become so rude and you can feel their annoyance at you once your order is in place.

    On June 2nd, my fiancé and I purchased close to $3000 worth of Ashley Furniture products from their Carle Place, NY location on Long Island. We were assured that our items (living room sectional, dining room table, and king-size bed frame) would arrive on July 6th between the hours of 2pm and 7pm EST to our new home in North Bellmore, NY. With my fiancé (Jaimee) recently giving birth to our newborn son, I (Lance) took the day off from work to wait around for the delivery which we were advised is an all-day process.

    We called the Ashley Furniture store numerous times to confirm our delivery just so we do not have to sit, eat, and sleep on the floor. Two days prior to our delivery date, we received a call stating that our order is in transit and someone must be home. The day of the delivery, we must have called 30 times from 5pm to 9pm asking for the whereabouts of our furniture. Each representative advised that they will contact dispatch to find the location of the driver. Conveniently, we were told that we were the last stop. Some representatives even put us on hold until the call disconnected or told us they will call us back with an update and never did. Finally at 9 pm, we were told that the truck broke down and that we will not receive our items as promised. One representative even told me to go take care of my child then hung up the phone.

    Now comes the following morning and we go to the store to address someone in person. The best they can do for us is to try to fit us in for a deliver tomorrow, July 8th. Try to fit me in when we were supposed to receive our items yesterday?! And get this, if they can deliver it tomorrow, it would probably be delivered on Friday, July 13th. They must think we don't work for a living and have time to sit around day after day waiting and hoping for our furniture to surprisingly show up.

    Conclusion, we purchased items from this merchant and do not know when (and if) it will ever arrive. These reviews are true and accurate. Do not shop here regardless of the deal they offer and how nice the product looks in the showroom. It will never make it to your home.

    This is my second purchase from Ashley Furniture in Burbank, CA and I have to say that my overall experience has been awful! First off, I purchased a couch set and it took them forever to receive my 3 pieces. They gave me the run around with my delivery date, because they didn't have one of the pieces and tried to deliver without having all of the pieces upon delivery. Now my second experience, I purchased a bedroom set for myself and again they tried making an incomplete delivery again and I refused it until all pieces were available. So then the next, the next delivery scheduled date they delivered all the pieces finally and they broke my standing lamp in my room. It fell against the TV chest they brought into my room and the glass shattered all over the TV chest and they started cleaning up the glass on the marble top and scratched it all up.

    I said take it back and deliver me a new one as I’m not planning to purchase a new bedroom set anytime soon. So, they delivered me a new one and there were scratches all along the sides, chipped paint and glue dripping along the back of the TV media chest where you would place your DVD/Blu-ray player. I noticed it after delivery. So when I called them, they were very rude about it like it was my fault or something and gave me a hard time about it, but then finally agreed to swap it out. Now my dresser, the top part of the marble, has a discoloration that randomly appeared and I’m so heartbroken over it and can’t figure out how it appeared there. All I have placed on my dresser is a jewelry box.

    I called them to make them aware of this matter and they want to send an inspector to inspect the area when they should swap it out with no problems for me after all this heartache I have had since the beginning. They asked me if I placed any glass of water on the area and I answered truthfully and said no. They asked what I have placed on the dresser and I informed them that all I have placed there is my jewelry box. I don't understand what water any how would have to do with it. I’m so upset over this whole thing. I don't mind if an inspector comes and looks at it. But I am just so upset over the quality of the actual furniture I purchased. And I just feel that after everything I went through including the lamp their employees broke, they should be handling this matter a little more differently and should reimburse me for my loss of my lamp and replace my dresser.

    I will never shop from Ashley Furniture ever again because they do not stand behind their furniture or their returning clients. Please help me and advise me what actions I shall take next against them, as it is not fair how much money I invested in my new bedroom set and am left unhappy with defective furniture and a broken shattered lamp to their negligence! Thank you for your time.

    The extended warranty does not cover seams. Don't purchase it. The seam on the back of my couch and loveseat opened 5 days after one year of having it. The warranty expired exactly one year and the extended warranty covers rips but not on seam. Go figure.

    My child went to bed; as he was there, the bed broke. I was in the family room and heard the thump. Several slats had separated from the sides. Once I removed the mattress, I noticed that the slats were of different sizes and the installer had connected a few and not others. They were basically held by a prayer that they would not separate. The sides of the bed have wrapped and the slats fell. The store refuses to take the bed back and give me a refund even though I bought the extended warranty. They say they cannot take the bed back but they want to send a new bed. I have been double-scammed: the bad quality bed and the scam warranty. Do not buy any products in Ashley Furniture Boca Raton.

    I purchased two couches, a chair with ottoman, and a tufted ottoman a year ago, just after mother's day. After a month, the couch cushions came apart and they sent me six new cushions (no one ever came to my house). Within six months, the new cushions started to come apart so they sent me six more cushions covers that I installed myself. I called a couple weeks ago (one week after the year warranty) and asked for a rep to come to the house and evaluate the couch cushions that were beginning to come apart again. This time my ottoman has started popping buttons. He took pictures and said we would hear back within two weeks. Yesterday, I received two new couch cushion covers in the mail. No mention of the ottoman. I don't want to keep replacing the cushions and am very angry that no one called to talk to me about how we can resolve this. They just keep sending me new cushions.

    We purchased a table and chairs for our son. We chose to pick it up due to the cost charged to deliver. At the time of purchase, we were required to sign an agreement stating that we would agree to arbitration rather than legal action should we be dissatisfied. We were also told all sales are final. If this had been my table and chairs, I would have left the store then. However, my son had his heart set on this table and chairs so we went ahead with the purchase. When we picked it up, it was in a box and had to be assembled just like the less expensive furniture you find at discount stores. We put the chairs together first and then started on the table. We immediately realized the top of the table was split. We had to take all the chairs apart, put them back in the box and carry it to the warehouse to show them.

    We were told they would "fix" it. My husband told them we didn't pay for a damaged product and we weren't going to accept one. He lost his temper, quickly, and asked to speak to a manager. Again, he was told they would fix it. He told them he wasn't going to accept that. They checked and found they had another in stock and exchanged it for us after my husband had told them exactly what he thought. We will never do business with Ashley Furniture in any town under any conditions. What store in 2012 does not allow merchandise to be returned? Believe me, there is a reason for this!

    I am absolutely disappointed with Ashley Furniture and their customer service (or lack thereof). First, they changed the amount of delivery fees while in the store due to where I lived. I was going to be charged more when I could see my condo unit from their store. I am literally within a couple of miles. Really? Due to principle, I decided to pick it up. I was convinced by friends that I wouldn't want to assemble it and to make it easy on myself and get it delivered. I had to go into the store again to change my pick-up to delivery. It could not be done over the phone. My bed frame, as a result, arrived early due to my pick-up date. It was in the warehouse 2 weeks prior to being delivered. I was given my 4-hour window and was called 15 minutes prior to tell me that I didn't have a bed frame as all the parts were not there. Since I had taken a vacation day to see it delivered and had stayed home to meet them, I was pretty upset. It was going to require me to take a second vacation day to see it put together.

    I was again advised that it would take some time for the hardware to arrive due to it coming from LA. I was assured I would have it in 3 business days and that someone would call me later that same day to discuss the matter. When that call came, I was upset with how they handled the matter and asked to speak with a supervisor. I was told the supervisor would call me and I had to wait. The supervisor called me shortly before their closing time and was extremely rude; while even-toned, sarcasm was definitely in her demeanor towards me. When I inquired as to why they couldn't ensure all the products were there since it had been in the warehouse for 2 weeks, she asked if I had been at the warehouse to verify it was there. Perhaps they had given it to someone else and re-ordered my bed frame. I don't think it so; when I called to confirm my order, the lady on the other end mumbled that it had been in their warehouse for too long.

    I then mentioned that it sounded like it had been hardware that should have been attached to the headboard (which was not in a box) and should have been visible to see it was missing. She replied, “You have a loading dock where you live, correct? Were you at the loading dock when they broke down the boxes?” Well, one would assume that it was never in a box when you have two boxes intact and a headboard out on its own (with a chip at its base). I’m very displeased with how I was treated and I will never do business with Ashley Furniture again. I was told I would have it in 3 days. It's a week later and I haven't even gotten a phone call. And I am still sleeping on the floor. I paid a ridiculous delivery/assembly fee and have yet to see the service I paid for. I am losing two days’ salary for something "out of their control" and they will do nothing to correct it or make a happy customer.

    I am not one to push for "free" things and often will write letters of appreciation for good service. I am just a customer looking to be treated with respect and have it handled accordingly. I did not see it with this company and I see that the majority agree with me. Do not buy from Ashley Furniture!

    We ordered two recliners from the Ashley store in Henderson, Nevada on March 19, with a delivery date of April 12. They were delivered on the 15th as there was "a problem at the factory". One of the chairs had a very obviously larger gap on the left side where the back met the base as compared to the right side, canting the chair to the left. I called customer service and had a tech scheduled to come out the following week. He told us the frame was bent and he couldn't fix it and ordered another frame to be delivered in "a week or two". It arrived within a week. I called customer service to have the tech come out again to install the new frame. The earliest appointment was not until May 22. Bear in mind that these chairs were purchased on April 19.

    The tech arrived on May 22 as scheduled and spent two hours trying to install the new frame. Try as he did, bless him, he could not fix the chair. The wrong size frame was sent. I told him enough was enough, I wanted a new chair. He said it would take a week or so for customer service to call with a delivery date. I called customer service the following day as waiting for a week or more just for a delivery date was unacceptable. I asked for a delivery date and was told they couldn't give me one right now. Also unacceptable! I spoke with a supervisor who told me first off, "there aren't any at the factory right now" and after I admittedly lost my cool, told me, "It shouldn't be more than a week because we get our exchanges out right away."

    When I asked the supervisor why it would take a month to get a newly purchased item, but only a week to get an exchange, she said I was talking to her like she was a child and that she deserved better. I told her I deserved an answer, at which point she hung up on me. The chair arrived on June 1 and was still not in alignment. The delivery person told me flat out there was exactly the same gap on both sides of the chair, even though it was obvious to the naked eye this was not so. I don't appreciate being lied to by someone young enough to be my grandson or by anyone for that matter. My husband is a great deal more easygoing than I am and said to just let it go. He fixed the chair himself after the delivery kids left and fortunately for us and them, I noticed they left our front gate open before I let our dog out the back door.

    This was a totally irresponsible act by two young men who should have the common sense to close a gate behind them. My husband also picked up the part of the cardboard box they left in the street. This has been a 2 1/2 month fiasco. I would, given the choice, rather hang by my thumbs than purchase anything from Ashley Furniture again. Buyer beware!

    I purchased a king-sized Sealy mattress and box spring set, and after 3 days the mattress had terrible sagging. Ashley sent a home inspector and they deemed it to be defective. I went back to the store and upgraded to their top-of-the-line Stearns & Foster mattress and box spring set. Again, after a few days the mattress was sagging like it was 20 years old. They sent the same inspector and he deemed it to be defective. I fought with Ashley’s customer service (which is horrible) and they agreed to issue me a refund and pick up the bed.

    When they showed up, they said they were only authorized to pick up the mattress, not the box spring. My wife called customer support and they explained that the box spring was not deemed to be defective and they would not take it back.

I have received two out of the three pieces, but it has taken an act of congress and numerous phone calls to the store to find out what was going on with it. I talked to the folks in customer service who told me the furniture was in when it wasn't. My third-piece of furniture has made it to the warehouse and they were unable to deliver on the date I needed it because they are too busy on the weekends. When I received a call from the warehouse, the lady (Rosa) was so rude and told me they couldn't deliver, even though I had been waiting two months. I asked to speak to her supervisor because this is ridiculous to pay $4000.00 cash and have to wait this long. The furniture is not custom-made or imported or even over the top nice.

    I was told by Rosa that her boss Jesse was too busy to talk to me. She knew how angry I was and didn't seem to care. I spent $6000 at Rooms To Go on Thursday of this past week and it has been delivered on Saturday (2 days later) and these idiots at Ashley's don't know what the ** they are doing. I called to the store and spoke to ** (manager) whose response was that it is a weekend and they are very busy. No **, Sherlock, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you might need more help or teach your sales people not to lie about having product come that is already sold to someone else.

I had to call a day before to see if I would be receiving my living room set but their system was down. The couch was fine at first.

I called everyday and either got a busy signal on the phone or when someone answers, systems are down!

    Two weeks goes by, I got someone on the phone and I asked when is my loveseat coming in. They said it will be in the next day at my house! I laughed. No one called me about it.

Each time they call to reschedule the delivery, they keep asking if we'd like to purchase the item we've been waiting on from their clearance center. Sure it may be the same item, but according to them, it may be scratched, chipped, dented, or have missing parts. It's almost as though this is their tactic to get rid of their stuff on clearance.

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and frustration with the service provided after my recent purchase of a bedroom package from your Lithonia, Georgia store. The date of purchase was March 15, 2012. I was able to schedule delivery for April 6, 2012. On the delivery date, only part of my order arrived. Most of the bed I ordered arrived, but there was no hardware or rails, so the bed could not even be put together. I had to wait until April 10th to get my bed put together. This was especially inconvenient because I had taken apart and removed my original bed in order to make room for the new bed being delivered. This left me with no bed to sleep on. The first available date for your company to get the hardware and rails to put the bed together was a Tuesday and I had to take that day off without pay. However, I had no choice because I needed the bed to sleep on.

    At this time, I am still awaiting delivery on the rest of my order. I was told these items could not be delivered until April 21st. This involves another day that I have to take off from work and again I'm going to lose a day's pay. When I made my order and scheduled delivery, I was never told anything was unavailable. Everything was to be delivered on April 6th. The inconvenience of having to take off work two additional days without pay after my order was supposed to be delivered and not having a bed to sleep on for four days doesn't seem to be of any concern to your company. I was offered a $50 gift card for my inconvenience. That doesn't even cover half of one day's work that I had to miss.

    I would like your company to take responsibility for failing to inform me that I would need multiple delivery dates in order to receive my entire order. If I'd had that information in advance, I could have scheduled a different date that wouldn't involve my having to take days off from work. At the very least, a credit to my account to my account and an apology could have been offered. But unfortunately, all the customer service representatives bothered to say was that nothing could be done and tell me I had to schedule other dates for the delivery of the rest of the order. I am very disappointed with your company and the quality of service or organization you have to offer. I can honestly state that I will not do business with your company again.

    I bought furniture the first week of March at the Ashley Furniture Store in Amarillo Texas. I was told by the sales representative that I would be receiving my furniture in two to three weeks. Three weeks went by and I did not hear from them on delivery date. I was contacted by someone and they told me I would get my stuff the first week of April. The first week of April went by and nothing, I called and they told me my stuff was set to be delivered the 10th of April - by April 11... nothing.

    I went up to the store and they told me they would have someone contact me next day, first thing in the morning. Next day came by and no call from them. I had to call them and the delivery department set another date for me to receive the furniture for April 16. Today April 16, I took off from work to wait on the stuff. I called to verify and I was told my stuff was not going to be delivered today. I was very upset and the only thing the delivery representative could tell me was, "Would you like to set up another delivery date?" I was forced to ask her to cancel my order and that I was not going to pay the fee for returns. She told me, “I will call you back when I talk to my superiors." Still no call.

    Ashley Home Store Furniture has the worst customer service and their dishonesty has caused me to lose a day from work. This is the worst experience I have had while shopping for furniture; they're very nice when they ask to check your credit and sell you anything they can, but forget about customer satisfaction afterwards.

    I bought a new bed for $517 and after sleeping on it for 6 days, it developed deep depressions on both sides (I weigh 130 pounds and my husband weighs 165 pounds). Also, the very first time I sat on it, I could tell it was different than the one in the showroom as it gave about 6 inches while the one on the showroom was firm. I emailed Ashley and was told I couldn't return it, so I had my credit card company do a charge back. I contacted Ashley again hoping now they would take back their defective product and instead they are threatening me with collections.

    Approximately four years ago, I purchased the South Shore living room set from Ashley Furniture. It was quite pricey but I felt at the time that I wanted a good living room set that would last. The salesman that I dealt with spoke of their warranty. He told me that if I purchased the warranty, anything that goes wrong cuts, tears, chips, etc. that if I purchased it and something happened to the set, all I would have to do is call customer service and they would send someone out to repair it or if it was unrepairable, they would replace it. Not the case.

    There are two people living in this home. We are not heavy set, nor do we have a high amount of traffic in our home. We are adult seniors and before our first year of having this set, I noticed what I called an eroding or chipping on the leather cushion of the couch. I called Ashley. They immediately told me this was not covered. After many heated discussions with them, they finally sent someone out. He fixed it but alas, it was a bandage as the next year we had the same problem. I called again. I fought tooth and nail and finally got someone out. Now it's been four years and the couch looks ridiculous. Do not buy their furniture, folks. It's substandard and what makes matters worse is their warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on. Please heed my warning as you don't want to experience the same thing I have.

    4 years ago, I purchased a sectional sofa for my new family room from Ashley Furniture, along with several other pieces to fill my room. The spring in the sofa broke, and they sent a repairman out to look at it. He tried to repair it, but a month later, the spring broke again. After several disputed conversations with the Huntsville store, they decided to replace it. I replaced it with a leather sectional sofa of higher quality, I thought.

    Now my leather sectional is fading in some areas. I called the store, and they again sent a repairman out. He wrote that the section that is fading should be replaced. I stated to him that I did not want to chance another section faded, so I would like to have my money back or replace again. I left a message with the manager, and she stated that I could not replace because there was no warranty at that time. I stated to her that this was not a warranty issue but a manufacturing issue that needs to be taken care of.

    I have spoken with the top manager at the Huntsville store, and she stated the same. I feel that I have been a loyal customer to Ashley and deserve the same from them. I hardly ever use this furniture and have not abused it, so there should be no reason for fading. I have several leather pieces in my home that I have had for years that have never faded and that were not purchased through Ashley. I was told to contact headquarters but was not given a phone number or an e-mail address. I need this problem to be taken care of as soon as possible.

    The delivery crew stole my iTouch from my music docking station. They came to deliver the furniture in the evening and there were three guys. Two of the people placed the furniture in my bedroom and installed it, whereas the third guy was pulling in the stuff from the truck and putting it in the bedroom. After the installation, they left the place.

    Now, after a couple of hours after they left, I sat back in my sofa to listen to the music and found my iTouch missing from the docking station. I never removed it from that dock as it is always my primary player in my living room, hooked to the music system. I listened to the music in the afternoon and I live all alone in my apartment. The only people who came into my apartment that evening was Ashley Furniture's home delivery people. I am very sure they stole the Apple iTouch as no one came to my apartment today aside from them.

    I get a call this morning that all my furniture will not be delivered today, as they noticed starches in the China. Okay, I thought to myself, be patient, stuff happens. At least they noticed it before it came. However, this is not the first instance with faulty furniture from them, but I gave them another chance. They told me to expect delivery from 12 to 4. But it is now 4 and they still haven't arrived. A few minutes later, I got a call from them saying sorry and that they were running about an hour behind! Why didn't they call me earlier to let me know that it was not going to be here on time?

They told me that the leather on my love seat has been worn, not damaged and I was told they could not do anything about my love seat. Also when I bought the warranty I was told that it would cover (anything) and it’s only a year and so old then.

    I called Ashley back in Hattiesburg MS. Very very very rude to me.

    Basically, I am quoting what everyone else has already (too bad I cannot give the store 0 stars). I am so angry and annoyed right now though and I think everyone who even considers purchasing furniture from Ashley Furniture should be aware of the horrible service and quality. I paid over $2,300 cash upfront at the store in Cherry Hill, NJ for a complete sectional set. Originally, I was told that it would take 1 - 4 weeks to have the sectional delivered to my house. I was not too happy about the time frame, but I figured the sectional would be delivered in 2 weeks or so. I was also told that I would receive a phone call to set up a delivery date.

    After a long 3 and half weeks, I had not heard from Ashley Furniture at all. So I decided to give the store a call and check on the status of my purchase. When I called, the associate set up a delivery date for me for a week later. I was already pissed off about the length of time I had to wait to get my furniture, so I just said the date was fine.

    My furniture was finally delivered today. I am at work, so my boyfriend received the furniture. He made sure to check the sectional for any defects before the delivery guys left the house. According to what my boyfriend told me over the phone, the love seat has a tear on the back part, the chair has staples all over the left side, and the other part of the sectional has a cushion that is higher than the rest. The sectionals also have scratches all over on the sides. The delivery guys refused to take it back because they said we have to call Ashley Furniture for an exchange or refund and then they left. So instead of calling Ashley Furniture from work, I sent my boyfriend to go to the store personally.

    Once he gets there, he tells them what is wrong with the sectional and that he wants a new sectional delivered to the house by this Friday. The associate tells him that it is not possible to have another sectional delivered by Friday and he tells them he wants the money back then. The associate tells him they will call us with a date for pick-up and that we will not get a full refund back because we accepted the sectional. According to the associate, 25% of the amount we paid for the sectional goes to Ashley Furniture even though we do not want the furniture. So now who knows when they will decide to even call me to pick up the furniture?

    Bottom line: Ashley's furniture is bad quality and the service is horrible! Buyers beware!

    Today is the third time that a sofa was supposed to be delivered. I am still waiting. The first attempt on March 2 was a complete disaster. The men could not fit the sofa through the door and were not able to take apart the sofa so it would fit. During this attempt, damage was done to my woodwork and things were broken, including an antique music box from my grandmother. Next, I called to schedule another delivery date and arrange for the sofa be broken down. There was a $192 charge for this service. The person I spoke to said it could be delivered on March 8. All I had to do was to come into the store and pay the additional money before that date. I told the person that because I had a houseguest, I wouldn't be able to get in until March 12.

    She said that it wasn't a problem. When I went in and paid the additional fee, the salesperson said that the sofa couldn't be delivered until March 14. She didn't even acknowledge the arrangements made with the person on the phone. Today is March 14 and a futile delivery attempt was made. The sofa was not broken down. Now, I have to wait until March17 for another delivery. I have taken 2 days off from work to have this item delivered. I cannot cancel this delivery because all I will get is a store credit. I will never enter Ashley's Furniture again and will go out of my way to be sure people know what a horrible experience dealing with Ashley's has been, not the least of which is the snakiness of their staff.

    We sat in the chair and it felt okay. They were electric and they rocked. When we received the chairs, we had to hold our legs on the floor to keep the chair level. When you picked up your feet, the chair fell forward instead of balancing out. If you did not use your legs to hold the chair level, the chair would fall forward. There was only 13 inches of sitting room and when you put your hand under the back portion of the chair, there were 5 more inches of sitting room. We think the backs are over stuffed and the head rest was also overstuffed because when you lean back, your head pushes forward. We told them that but we were told that that was the way they were made.

    We brought it to their attention for 2 1/2 weeks. We were told that that was the way the chair was made and we were stuck with them. They would not take them back or offered to remove some of the padding. They do not stand behind their merchandise. I got stuck in the reclining position because there was a short in the electric turn on switch. It actually stopped working 3 times. I had to get help to get out of the chair.

    First of all, absolutely stay away from Ashley Furniture. This is the biggest scam I have ever encountered and I've seen a few. I purchased a living room set and a dining room set. I was given an availability date of February 28. That date came and went with no word from Ashley whatsoever. When I called to find out the status of my order, I was transferred to the sale person Tammy, as apparently at Ashley your sales person is the only person who can look this kind of information up. Tammy said that they were waiting on the couch, love seat and dining table. The couch and loveseat were supposed to be in on February 28. I was already going to pick up the dining table. I asked when the items would be available. She couldn't answer me and said she would have to get back with me on Friday. Friday came and went and there’s no phone call. I called on Monday, was transferred to Tammy again, and was again told that they were waiting on the couch, loveseat and dining table.

    Again, I asked for an estimated availability date. Again, Tammy told me she would have to track down that information and call me back. Again (wait for it), she didn't call. I know. Shocking, right? So I called Ashley yet again. Yet again, I was transferred to Tammy and yet again (now two weeks later, mind you) I was told that they were still waiting on the couch, loveseat and dining table. Really? No furniture, no communication—what gives? So I asked for someone at corporate that I could complain to. Tammy said she would go to the back and get that information for me. She returned, refusing to give me the corporate information and told me to call the sales manager Jennifer. I told her to tell Jennifer to call me. Clearly, Ashley has no clue who the customer is here. Jennifer called and gave me every excuse in the book as to why my furniture wasn't in yet, saying that it would be loaded on the truck in Mississippi on March 28, a month after I was told I would have it. What a crock!

    When I asked her for the corporate information, she told me there was no "corporate" because all the Ashley stores are individually owned. When I asked for the "owner", she (in all idiocy) said she wasn't about to give me the owner's personal information. Duh! I was asking for the owner, as in put him on the phone. She then gave me the typical run-around of the owner's not here right now, he just got back from vacationing in Hawaii. Oh, wait, that's right: he's not here because he lives in a different state. Um, anyone else smell a ** red flag? What I found even more odd was that during our conversation, Jennifer said that there was no "corporate" yet when I asked for a refund, she said that she would have to involve several people in that decision, including "corporate". Um, **? So I expressed my dissatisfaction with not only the unbelievable delay but also the complete lack of communication and terrible hole-filled lies.

    Jennifer told me that she didn't have to deal with this and then hung up on me. Yes, a manager told a customer that they didn't have to deal with their complaint. When I called back, even more irate than I was before, Jennifer blabbed more about how this isn't their fault. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Then Jennifer told me that the computer was showing an estimated load date of March 28. When I pointed out that she is now saying "estimated", she flipped out and tried to point fingers at me, saying I didn't know what was going on. Really? Clearly there is no educational requirement to work at Ashley Furniture. Either that or I came across the two biggest idiots on the planet. Needless to say, I still don't have my furniture. But there is a nice BBB complaint headed to the "owner", if there even is one of those.

    Horrible! If not for the manager Bonnie, I would have returned every item we purchased. We purchased a large order from Ashley, consisting of several different rooms. I have three kids all in sports, and both my wife and I work. So delivery was crucial. We planned it almost 3 weeks in advance on a Sunday. We moved out everything from the kids' rooms and put it in the living room. We also moved out our couches.

    The delivery came, and it was wrong. On top of that, I found out that I had been charged an extra $500 for items I didn't need. I drove to the store, and they told me they would deliver the right bedroom sets on Wednesday, which was not OK with me. After arguing with them, they setup delivery for Tuesday. I also pointed out the overcharge, and the salesman told me it was a mistake and he would take care of it. He brought out new paperwork with the proper bedroom set and again charged me the extra $500 and asked me to sign. When I refused, he told me that the finance company would take it off later.

    At that point, I was furious and asked them to take it all back. He told me I would be charged a fee to pick up the other items that were delivered. Finally, the manager came out with the adjusted paperwork.

    My kids slept on the floor on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday came, and they delivered the right bedroom set but forgot the side rails. They showed up at 6:00 pm, so there was no way to fix it. Again, on the phone, I was furious. They apologized and told us they would bring out the rails on Wednesday, and they would call us later with a time frame.

    It is now Wednesday. Their idea of a time frame is "Our driver will be there in 15 minutes." on your voice mail. Second voice mail 15 minutes later was "Our drivers are there, and no one is answering the door. Call us back to reschedule another delivery date." I purposely scheduled the delivery of all of our furniture, so as not to disrupt our jobs, school, sports, and family time. My kids have been on the floor for 4 days. Furniture were scattered throughout the house. What a mess and a nightmare. And good luck in contacting their warehouse; it just goes to voice mail.

    I would have canceled everything if it weren't for Bonnie, the manager. She has been helpful along the way and has been trying to fix all of the others incompetence. The furniture is nice. The sales side seemed very shady. The warehouse is atrocious. The manager Bonnie is great. So if you like nice furniture but don't care when it gets there, like triple checking paperwork to make sure you weren't overcharged, enjoy spending hours on the phone, driving back to the store to show them where you were overcharged, have 3 vacation days to burn from work, then by all means choose Ashley Furniture in Yorba Linda, CA.

    I may have to update the actual time frames, because it is now 5:16 pm on the 4th day and they still haven't arrived. One of our children is playing in the first round of the state championships for high school basketball tonight at 7:00 pm. The warehouse was told that by Bonnie. Now I have to ask a family member to miss the game to sit here until they come. What an absolute nightmare dealing with this place.

    Back in October, I purchased a living room set and a bedroom set from Ashley's Furniture. I have been having problems with this account since they delivered the furniture. First, the cushions on the sofas were slanted to one side. I called to complain and they sent me additional cushions. I finally gave up because all the ones they sent were the same. They don't pick up the old ones. They tell you to throw them away. Then the chest of the drawer was not how I had seen it in the store. I have been back and forth with this problem since then. I told the warehouse manager that the drawers did not have the black felt lining it should have.

    She said there’s no problem and she'll get it to me. Then, in a couple of days, I received a package with one-inch black felt circles. I guess she wanted me to put these little circles somewhere in there. Then, we noticed the headboard was coming apart. One service guy came in and said it was a manufacture defect. The warehouse manager and I have been going back and forth on this. She sends another service guy who takes a mallet hits the headboard and makes it seem he fixed it. Then we find the headboard is cracked in the back where we probably would not have seen it if we had not inspected the headboard. Now, I have to call warehouse once again. When does this end? I am at a point where I want to stop paying.

    My mom and I visited the Ashley Furniture in Jacksonville, FL at the St. Johns Town Center. We came to the store due to an advertisement we’ve seen on television of a 14-piece set for $799. When we arrived at the store, we asked a sales person on the floor about the advertisement. He advised that it was valid and available for all packages with "The Works." We were both like, “Great.” I spotted a living set that I wanted to purchase. I noticed the price was $1199 even though it had "The Works". So I asked Benjamin if this was under the special $799 and he told me yes. I was on lunch so I told him I would be back later that evening to finish the transaction. When I came back, I went through the whole process of picking the items I wanted to go with my set. After I did that, he insisted I apply for credit through them. I did and I was approved. I noticed as we got into the financial part that everything was higher than he told me. He assured me that everything would drop to the correct price once finished.

    The financing company wanted me to put $211.30 down as a first month payment. Once the transaction was complete, I noticed he left off an item that was supposed to be a part of the package. I also noticed that my contract said my furniture would be available on 04/10/2012. I called the store and spoke to the manager. He advised me that the package was $1199, it was never $799. I told the store manager I wanted a refund. I have to wait until Thursday, 03/08/2012, to go to the store for them to process a refund. I will never do business with Ashley Furniture.

How is that possible if i am on mattress? Also, when we brought the mattress home, it was bowed in on the sides.

I then spoke to general store manager. He said the same thing. I think it's only reasonable to give a purchaser a 30-day window. The mattress is a huge purchase and you can't try it out for a long enough time before purchasing. I bought an expensive model $1224. I need to return it.

    My husband and I bought sofa, chair, ottoman, entertainment center and motorized recliner ($3000). Before furniture was delivered, they said the sofa didn't make the truck and would have to be delivered two weeks after the first delivery of everything. When the sofa finally arrived, two springs were broken! I happen to sit on it before the delivery fellows left. I told them to put it back in their box and take it back. I called customer service within minutes and told them I wanted my account credited. She said I would have to go to the store to do that which is two hours away. So off my husband and I went to the Lakeland Florida store.

    The Lakeland store told me that I couldn't get my money back, that I would have to reselect another sofa. So reluctantly, I chose another one which was approx $300 more. As soon as I took my credit card out to pay my salesperson, Julio was called to a side bar meeting for 15 minutes. When he returned, he said everything was fine (whatever that meant). Two weeks later, the second sofa arrived on Friday. This time the pillows were all distorted and leaning to the left and didn't line up with the bottom pillows. The pillows are all puckered and just poor quality craftsmanship, not to mention all these threads that need to be clipped. I'm afraid if I pull them the material will snag.

    This time I didn't call to complain until the following Tuesday. I didn't know about the 72 hour rule. I told customer service that I want my money back, not to send me another third sofa. She said (store manager Venicia) that I didn't call within the 72 hours. Although, I had with the first sofa and still couldn't get my money back. I am ignored with every telephone call I make. They insist on sending another factory piece to my house. They have my $3000 and more importantly the $900 for the sofa that I want picked up and credited. I am spreading the word about Ashley's poor sofa quality and most importantly how Ashley Furniture treat their customers after they've made the sale. Shame on them! I was so excited to get a pretty new sofa. I'm sad. I don't have another $900 to buy another one. I hope they're happy the way they act.

    On 01/24/2012, I purchased two beds (a full for my son and a king for my self) from Ashley's Furniture Home Store. Right before delivery, the warehouse called, stating that they would deliver the full bed but had to reorder the king bed because a poster was broken. I asked if there would be any discount applied to my debit card for the inconvenience and now having to take another day off for delivery of the other bed. The woman said she would have someone call me back and made sure my contact information was correct.

    Of course, two days later, no one had contacted me with a response. Over the next two weeks, I called five times. In the first two times, I was transferred several times and ended up with an answering machine that I had to leave my information on. I waited for a return call both times with no result. The third time I talked to a manager, he stated they would check into it and call me back. Again, a few days later, no call back. In the fourth time, I got transferred to a customer service agent who said she would check on it and call me back. She did call me back later that day and said she needed more time to research it and she would call me back on Monday. Of course, I got no reply on Monday.

    I called back Monday before going to the store, and they said they would have to check on it and call me back. I went to the store to get it resolved. They would not refund any money to my debit card. All they offered was an in-store credit. I replied if that is the way they conduct business, I just want the money refunded for the king bed as well as the delivery fee. I still have not received the king bed; if I knew I was only going to receive a full bed, I could have picked it up my self and not asked for delivery. They said they would still charge the 25% cancellation fee. I said that is absurd considering the merchandise was broken and has still not been received. They said that was all they could offer, and the problem is still not resolved.

    We purchased a living room suite from you in May of last year and this year, it started chipping on the part that we thought was wood but come to find out it is so type of other material. The repair guy from Atlanta came and repaired the problem and I ask him if this would continue to happen and he said yes it would so just call us again and we will come fix it.

    On 12/4/11, we purchased from Ashley Furn a sofa bed, a love seat, a lift table, a 60" TV stand, and 2 recliners. On 1/9/12, we took delivery, however we received a sofa instead of the sofa bed. After calls to the store, the Gen Mgr admitted that it was their error and the remedy was for us to pay the up charge of $200.00 to correct their error. I tried to talk to CS. No return calls. I tried to talk to K. Koenig Pres of City Furniture. His office had VP of Sales contact us through the GM and offered to correct their error by paying $100.00. This was unacceptable and asked to speak to him. I received a voice mail from another person and have not heard from him or the VP Sales since. I sent an e-mail to Mr. Koenig, Pres. and have not had a response. I guess the $17 million expansion of City Furn is being paid in part by letting the customers pay for their mistakes.

    This is contrary to the PR statement by Mr. Koenig announcing their expansion, when he said (I am paraphrasing) you admit your mistakes and correct the mistake and move on. Needless to say, we could never recommend Ashley Furniture/City Furniture to anyone. Still waiting to hear from a decision maker at that firm.

    I called the Martin Luther King blvd location on 02/22/12 about the incredible 14-piece living room package I had seen online for $799 with a picture of the Lansbury living room set. I asked the salesman by the name of Marco about this Lansbury set that was advertised also for $799. He was unsure about it and offered to call me back, which he did and he told me to come take a look at it. When I arrived, I asked for Marco. He proceeded to take me to another set which was advertised for the 14-piece living room package event. I made him aware of the set I was inquiring about which we spoke of over the phone. He asked me to show him what I had seen advertised online. I did and he left me for at least 30 minutes. He finally returned and said this set was not included and I asked if I could speak to someone who could explain why.

    Another unidentified male came to accompany us which Marco showed him the ad online as advertised. He responded it is just a picture used to advertise. I asked him why would someone place a picture of something, giving customers a false impression of what is really being offered for sale. He responded, "It is advertising." I asked Marco for the corporate office phone number and the other male told me to go online and look under the advertisement dept. At this time, I became a little angry because he didn't acknowledge me as a customer and didn't care to help me with this matter or even give me the corporate office phone number. That is bad customer service. I have purchased a $4000 bedroom set from Ashley Furniture through another company but I never expected to be treated as I was at Ashley Furniture. I looked online the next day and it seems they removed the Lansbury set off of the promotion and the site seems to be having some issues but I have a copy of it saved to my computer for proof of false advertisement.

    Funny thing is that, they only had access to her name, birth date and last four digits, nothing else. When filling out her information, the salesman, Steve at the Brooklyn Ashley Furniture stated that we don't have access to customers full information, just what was mentioned earlier. Her credit limit was actually great! Steve and his co-workers actually looked in awe of how much of a limit that my mother received. I truly believe that someone in that Brooklyn Ashley Furniture store near Kings Plaza was conniving enough to try to make a purchase at Toys R Us and open up an account with Bill Me Later. This has not happened to my mother ever and it's such a coincidence that it happened on the same day as her opening up an account. I am truly pissed and upset that these salespeople or admins would do this. They will steal your money, steal your information and treat you like ** once you have made a purchase.

    Discrimination to the Max: My husband and I went to Ashley furniture store in Houston, Texas located on 249 &1960. We walked in the store very excited because of promotions we had seen on TV. As soon as we walked in, a salesman approached us, of course, to see what he could sell us. My husband asked to see a sectional and asked for it to be sturdy. Obviously, you want to buy something of quality. After all, you're not getting it for free. Well, as expected, the salesman swore up and down that the sectional was of excellent quality. We just told him that we asked for a good quality sofa since we already own an Ashley sofa that had cushions sink after three months of use. After we told him this, he looked at my husband and just flat out told him that he was a "pretty big" man. His exact words were, “Hey, you look like a pretty big man, and when ever you sit on something, you're gonna do some damage!“ He proceeded with telling him, “How much do you weigh, about 350 or so?“

    I could not believe I was hearing this piece of ** salesman talk to my husband the way he did! It was humiliating because my husband is not an idiot and those comments were extremely offensive. My reply to him was, "So you're telling me there is a weight limit on these couches? That means we are at the wrong store!” He proceeded with, "Oh, no, don't get me wrong. We have pretty good quality furniture; please don't think I was trying to be mean, but only trying to be realistic.” I really wanted to cuss him out so bad and all my husband could do was act like he didn't hear what was being said. This unprofessional salesman should be fired and Ashley furniture sued for having people like him working for them. I will never shop at this place ever again. I will make sure I tell all my friends and family not to shop there ever. And from what I’ve read from the reviews, it looks like their furniture really is of bad quality and not because of weight issues. The nerve of some people!

    I purchased a full living room set from Ashley 4 years ago and paid $3,000 plus $250 for an extended warranty. The first couch (leather) was damaged and they would not replace it! They said that if they replaced it, then I would no longer have my warranty! The cushions were sagging and the recliners wouldn't work. They came out and fixed it and left. The recliner never really worked right. Then it started sagging on the other side. They told me that they were going to replace the couch ( it was not the same as the first one and they told me the other was discontinued; the new one was close enough). Now the couch is peeling, badly! I bought a leather couch, but it seems that it has a thin leather layer cloth underneath!

    I am so upset. It took us a long time to save our money for this couch and I would expect it to last more than a year and a half, especially for the price we paid. I see I am not the only one with issues with the leather and the company. I would appreciate any help that you can give me. My couch looks like I pulled it off the side of the road, trashed!

    I ordered a 5 piece bedroom suite Nov.27. I was told I should have it by Christmas. Delivery date finally set for Jan.27. When the truck arrived, there was not a bed on the truck. I called the store and was told the bed was discontinued. I told them the pieces that we could see on the back of the truck were not the same color as the showroom model and one piece had a scratch and stain missing on the end. I was on phone with 3 different people while the truck driver and helper waited for us to find out what was going on. Finally, the driver left and took the furniture back to warehouse.

    I talked to another sales person and was told that there was a bed in Mississippi that they would have shipped up. I called the following Monday and spoke to the manager and told him I was very frustrated and wanted my money back, He said that was not the store policy and we could reselect. I told him I saw nothing else that I wanted there and again told him I just wanted my money back. He said he would pull the showroom model and compare the color to mine at the warehouse and would call me in a few days. That turned out to be another lie. I got a phone call one week later from the person that schedules deliveries and told them I was supposed to speak to a manager before any delivery was agreed upon.

    Finally, on Feb.18, my husband and I went to the warehouse to look at our furniture. They were not expecting us, so we had to wait while they pulled our pieces. We had them open each box and we inspected to see if it looked right. It did, so we loaded it up in our trailer and brought it home. We just think there is no way it is the same suite they tried to deliver back in Jan. After getting it all set up in our bedroom, some of the drawers in the chest stick when you try to close them, you have to push really hard. The back of the mirror on the dresser was a very thin piece of plywood and the screw holes were torn, so we had to drill new holes to keep the back in place. It is not very well made, came from China, so I am not surprised. There is no way I will recommend Ashley Furniture to anyone. A very hard lesson learned. Will look for American made next time.

Got a call at the day of delivery at 8:40 AM saying they were leaving in 15 minutes. No one listened to the message and I was told the deliver time was 9-1. I cancelled my appointment to accommodate your delivery company and I am paying for this delivery. One of the swivel chairs was broken. Your repair company came to look at it. I was told he could fix it, but I bought new furniture and wanted a new piece. Again a delivery date was set and I figured I better be available since your delivery company has no flexibility. The chair came and the other was removed, and when I sat on it, it squeaked.

    I didn't pay much attention since it was a new piece. Then last night again same thing happened with the first piece: it broke. My significant other looked at it: not one nail was hammered into the wood. He said to me they really did a lousy job. So instead of returning another new piece of furniture, we would take care of it. Your customer service ends once paid and you are out the door.

They called me to say that the delivery truck was in route. when I got home 10 minutes later, they were already done, so much for the 30 minutes call ahead of time that they told me they would give.

    They had placed the furniture & the next day I began to move it where I wanted. It was then I found that the couch had been dropped on the road outside and was black on the bottom. It was a tan sofa, so the delivery people had put it against the wall to hide their damage. The couch was ripped and the end tables had chips & scratches. I was told when I purchased the furniture that I had 3 days after accepting the furniture to return it.

    I called to say that I wanted to return the furniture since it was damaged. I was told they would bring me a replacement furniture if I kept & they scheduled a delivery or replacement. I was called a week before the delivery & told that I would have to reschedule since they had no delivery drivers in my area on the date that was agreed upon. They said they could come on Christmas eve with the replacements.

    That didn't work, so I took a half day off for another delivery date. I even called back to confirm if I was getting same furniture and was told that I would. On the day of the delivery, a small pick up shows up with a man with a tool kit. He was told that he was sent to repair my furniture. He took a look at the sofa & stated that he couldn't repair it because they would have to send parts for repair. His method of fixing scratches was by a marker.

    I called Ashley Furniture immediately and was told that it had been 2 months so I would not get new furniture. It didn't matter that the deliverymen hid the damage or that I had called within 24 hours. It is now February of 2012 and I am still waiting for my sofa to be repaired.

    Here is what I just wrote Ashley about my horrible experience that I want to share with others:

    I was given this email address to send details of the horrible experience I have had owning and sleeping on an Ashley bed. We bought a bed that is at the entrance to your home store about 3 and a half weeks ago. It was delivered on the 9th, along with the Ashley brand foam mattress we purchased at the same time.

    I was not home when the mattress was installed, so I did not get to witness the construction quality. Since then, we've noticed a lot of sagging in certain parts of the bed; and our backs are still sore in the morning. The better experience we were hoping to have with Ashley has left a sour taste in our mouth we can't get rid of.

    This morning, I decided to take the mattress off to see what in the world is going on. I was flabbergasted by what happened and what I saw next. First, the mattress had a horrible time moving off the bed. Once I did get it off, I discovered that all over the bottom side of the brand-new Ashley mattress were splinters dug into the mattress. I received several splinters myself trying to get the splinters out of the mattress.

    Then I looked over at what I thought would be a solid piece of wood going from one side to another since I did buy a "platform bed." What I saw instead were thin pieces of super poor quality wood in the form of slats which had slid around and were not even and could not be since they weren't screwed into place. I put my hands on one of them, and with only a few pounds of pressure, the whole piece bowed greatly all the way across.

    Next, I noticed that the few support-stilts there were slid around and would not stay centered. And it's no wonder; they are tall, skinny pieces of wood. Upon touching the wood and receiving another splinter, I had it! I was so upset. I called to see if Ashley was interested in fixing the product before I returned, and the earliest appointment time was February 21! 3 and a half weeks away!

    With jaw still on the ground, I then called to return the bed and mattress, only to be told that you, guys, sell products but don't back them to allow customers to return more than 72 hours later. So now, I am stuck with a bed I cannot sleep on and a mattress with lots of splinters in it. And I'm left to brew about how many places I can visit and warn other consumers not to buy Ashley products.

    Please don't lose more customers, Redesign your beds. A platform bed should have a solid piece of wood all the way across. That is the least you could do for my $1400 I spent. I could and most likely will have to go down to The Home Depot and purchase wood from them; any of which will be better than the cheap wood you used and create my own solution. I'm most upset with my self, because I did 3 weeks of research before buying a bed; and after reviewing all my material, I can see where most vendors on the platform bed put an indication for "solid wood board to support mattress."

The lady at the front desk just told us to expect our furniture around the 28th and that they will give us a call two days prior to give us a time for delivery. Today is now the 28th and we never received a phone call, not one.

    So my husband calls and they tell us that their is a back order for 3 to 6 weeks on our dining room table but they have our couch in store right now. They said we will not receive our order until February 20th which is two months after our purchase. Why we were never notified of this is beyond me. Mind you, we have been eating dinner on the floor and have not had a place to sit for the past month.

    When we called to talk to a representative, she basically brushed us off. She said there is nothing she can do. My husband and I are completely dissatisfied. We never received a phone call for an update, we were lied to about our date for delivery, and we have to wait two months to get our order and they completely brushed us off when we tried to get answers.

    We purchased $8000 worth of furniture from Ashley home store in Abilene, TX in August of 2009. The couch is coming apart at the seams. We purchased the extended warranty through Ashley home store and the location recently was shut down and changed ownership. We have been given the run around for weeks trying to have our furniture repaired and warranty carried out.

    We have spoken to over 20 people including Ashley corporate who informed me the warranty through montage "is a scam and never covers anything". Nice. Thanks for charging us and promising us the world and your store. The furniture is ** which is why you will not cover anything. You know it will break in a matter of months.

    On 01/16/2012 I purchased a queen size Sealy Posturepedic bed and a heavy wooden Sleigh bed frame for about $1,500. They were supposed to call when the items arrived the following Friday and didn't. The clerk at the counter said "we left a message on your answering machine". That was Lie # 1. I checked my cell, home and work phone and there were no message/s. They have limited days when customers can pick up their items so, I went back the following Monday and asked if I could simply see the items in the warehouse to get an idea how large the packages were. That's when I noticed that the mattress was a plush rather than the firm I ordered.

    This is when the real trouble started. They said, "This is the bed you tried and said you liked. " I said, "No, this is not a firm!" We have been going round and round ever since and they have continued to lie to me rather then just do what the customer expects, to make it right! I call them every day and each day someone is supposed to call me back and each day, no one calls. I called them back today (01/23/2012) and was told that if I wanted the firm bed rather than the plush, I would have to pay a 30% re-stocking fee.

    That's $450 for their mistake! I called Chase Bank and explained everything to them and they put a stop payment on the sale. Don't even think about walking in this place. I have never experienced worse customer service anywhere in my 64 years on this earth. They are also not registered with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), You would think that in this economy, a furniture store would do whatever it takes to make sure the customer is happy, not Ashley's. They couldn't care less!

    We paid $2500.00 for a love seat and couch, both recliners and leather. We had them about one year, and the sides of the middle seats, which were not made of leather, just split open in many places. Very odd, because no one ever sits in the middle seats. We contacted the store and got no satisfaction. Not happy and will never buy Ashley furniture again.

    I wish I would have read the consumer report before purchasing from Ashley! I will never step foot in there store again! On 1-8-11, we purchased 6 pieces of a sectional-I guess we kind of designed 2 different sofas, we had a delivery date of the 19th. So on the 18th, we had a friend come and help my husband (as I am 8 months pregnant) take our old furniture to Goodwill- biggest mistake ever! When we received the delivery, half of it was correct. The delivery guy tried to let us keep the incorrect pieces until we could get the right pieces, his "boss" would not allow that.

    Immediately I called the store. I was assured that everything was taken care of and someone would call me in the AM to reschedule a delivery. That did not happen. I called customer service only to be told that it takes 72 hours to process the "change" order, which is not customer service. I then called back to the store, only to be told the manager was busy with a customer, he would return my call. Second message, third message, no call back! Another day, no answers! I called customer service and requested to speak to that supervisor, how convenient, she's on another call! No return call, I call again! Still not available and that she will call me back, which she did! She can get me set up for a new delivery for what I refused- "what I refused?" It wasn't what I ordered! Next catch, the only date I can get is the 31th, or the first week in Feb! I said just cancel my order, how long will it take to get someone here to pick up the "correct" stuff?

I cancelled the order & requested a refund. We still have not gotten our refund to this date (1/19/12 ). Along with all the associates I have spoken with, I have also spoken with Frankie **, who is the manager twice.

I did not hear back from her so I called this store back on 1/9/12 & was told Jilliana no longer worked there by Patricia. I informed her that I wanted the corporate office number. She gave it to me & I spoke with Debbie the same day. She stated they were waiting for the store manager here in Greenville, SC to give the ok.

    Corporate office is in Charlotte, NC. I informed her that I was told by this store numerous times that corporate was holding it up. She then changed her story & said they were waiting on accounting. Stated she would check on it. I did not hear anything so, I called corporate again and was promised by Arlando on last Thursday that the check had been sent. She stated that they had a lot of refunds and were behind. I said, you must have had a lot of people canceling & her response was oh no we were giving rebates.

    Judging by my experience, I would say they have lost business. Since we did not receive it today in the mail. I called this store back here in Greenville tonight & asked to speak with the manager Frankie **. I asked him why we could not get our refund & he said he did not know.

So I called the corporate office and was informed that all Ashley Homestores are independently owned and they have no control over each store and who they choose for their fabric protection plan.

    They gave me the phone number of the company they thought the Montrose store worked with. I called the company and they had no record of my purchase anywhere.

When I called the corporate office back and told them the situation they basically said too bad, there's nothing they can do. I feel like I was totally cheated by a bunch of crooks.

    We have bought thousands of dollars worth of furniture from this Ashley's store. We searched and searched for a loveseat that would compliment our existing leather sofa. Knowing we didn't want brown because it would clash with the browns in our leather sofa, we made a point to look for something in off-white or camel. Bob knew our dilemma about the color and we searched the showroom floor for items that came in an off-white or camel. We found a loveseat on their showroom floor that was camel color that was the color of the showroom piece. My husband took pictures of the loveseat so that we could look at them that night in our home and see if it would compliment our sofa. If it didn't work, we knew we could cancel the order the next day. But it looked good so we continued the order.

    When the sofa came in, we picked it up and the warehouse and drove it 110 miles to our home. After getting it in our house, we began to unwrap it. The loveseat was dark sable brown, definitely not camel. It clashed with our sofa. So we called and told them our issue. They looked it up and said that that was the only color it came in. We told them that that wasn't the color on the showroom floor and they told us it was.

    We loaded it back up and drove 110 miles back to the store and made them look at it, then look at the pics we had. It was such a contrast, it was humorous. Bob looked me straight in the eye and said that that dark brown was the same color as the one on the floor. Of course it was "sold" so we couldn't compare the real thing. He said it was our camera that made the color look different. He knew darn well that we searched for non-brown items all over his store. He basically called us liars.

    Then another young salesman came up and said he had bought the same loveseat and it was dark brown when he got it and after time it lightened up to camel! Really? It was all such a joke. We told them we'd spent thousands of dollars there in the past, took a day off to come pick up the item and would have driven over 400 miles that day because of this loveseat. They would not take it back without a 25% restocking fee or credit for the full amount in the store. With the way we had been treated and called liars, there was no way I would step foot back in that store. So we decided to take the hit and spend the $150 of restocking fee.

    Shannon then assured us that we would have the check for over $500 within a week. It's been two weeks and still no check. I will wait until this afternoon and called and complained. I can understand the restocking fee when the customer just changes their mind. But when the item is not what they ordered and obviously so, it should not cost the customer anything. This was definitely a case of poor, poor customer service and this sort of thing should not be allowed to happen. We had proof that the color wasn't even close to what we ordered. The cell phone was a new Blackberry, which we use to take pictures of our family! They don't turn colors! This store needs to be watched!

I have arthritis and problems with a foot. If I turn over my foot, it is also bent at the ankle because I have gone down that far in the middle of my body.

    There is no rating listed for my experience to describe the negativity of the bad quality of Ashley Furniture in my opinion. I purchased a couch with double recliners, loveseat and chair in April of 2009. In less than six months, I had to call repair because the sofa broke. Since then, this set is literally falling apart. The same part that was repaired before is in need of repair again, fabric is peeling, holes are appearing and the cushioning is flattening out. I personally feel the quality of the furniture is very, very poor.

    This set cost me nearly $3,000 and it's not as good as the cheap furniture I bought when I first got married nearly 40 years ago and that's just not right. The set is not three years old yet and it's already raggedy. Words cannot express my dissatisfaction and disappointment at the nothing I got for my money.

    They came back later the same day and picked up the china/buffet. A couple of days later, I called the manager to see why he didn't charge my credit back to my account, and he told me they would only issue me store credit! I told him I did not ask for a store credit. I wanted them to credit back my charge account. There was nothing there that I wanted to buy or like.

The manager of this store denied that their furniture contained formaldehyde and claimed it has not been used in years. Misrepresented and misinformed equals, do not shop Ashley Furniture!

    I purchased dining room set and TV seating and received now five tables each looking like it was previously in another house and damaged/repaired to cover up the scratches and nicks. I returned the eight chairs. I was even delivered a table that I previously returned. I believe Ashley has a large pool of damaged tables, chairs, entertainment seats, etc .. that are damaged and circulates this to new customers hoping that the customer will eventually accept the damaged items when they don't initially see the covered up problems. They cover up the damaged by wiping in additional stain darkening the original stain.

    The worst part of the situation is when you call with your concerns and you are to a degree persuaded that your concerns are abnormal and your picky and the furniture is mass-produced and will have problems like this and it's normal. I don't think this excuses Ashley furniture from the practice of delivering previously damaged and repaired products to customers who are expecting new and undamaged/untarnished goods.

    You should consider another or any source unless you want to go through six to eight months of delivery and swapping. On the other hand, the price is certainly compelling.

    On July 15, 2011, my husband and I purchased office furniture. We had a great salesman and were already looking forward to purchasing new bedroom furniture from him when we paid off our 12 months with deferred interest payments. Unfortunately, the arm chair wheel broke within 3 months from the date of delivery. My husband contacted the customer service department. He was very pleased when he was told a replacement chair would be sent within 2 weeks.

    After waiting a month, he called the customer service department again and was very displeased with the customer service rep that handled his call. Abrupt and rude, a different customer service rep said a replacement wheel would be sent instead of a replacement chair. That’s not what we were promised when we first called in mid-October. We have been waiting a month for the replacement chair. So much for their worry-free service guarantee!

    I’ve spent hours reviewing furniture, went through the financing process, and was under the impression that what we agreed to was no payment and no interest for 12 months, only to get a payment request from the credit company. The credit company representative said, "Yeah, that is typical of Ashley’s." I called the finance manager, he was no help. Then the manager called back and he was even of less help.

    No, I did not agree and my comments to you were "do what you have to do".

    With copies of my damaged furniture and a sign warning consumers, I sat in the public parking lot in the shopping center where Ashley furniture is located. I showed others and they agree this kind of damage is not from pets, it's from faulty material. And considering the cost of the furniture, the material is lacking in durability which people expect from a sofa. I don't know anyone who purchases furniture with the intention of placing blankets on the cushions to protect from scratching. By the way, what do you say about the faulty cushions and stuffing used, which if you read the websites is a major complaint of consumers who have purchased from Ashley Furniture.

    If a full refund is not given then I have other measure of publicizing the faulty quality of material used in this sofa set. Your position that it was caused by pet damage, I strongly disagree with. I'll contact an attorney today to collect not only the full purchase price of the furniture but also compensation for my time, and cost for protecting my rights as a consumer.

    I have informed Terry, the operations manager, on Saturday, 11/12/2011, that I will continue to sit in the parking lot with copies of the damage as

    well as printing business cards to pass around wherever I go to discredit Ashley furniture and their practices and faulty material used in their products.

    If Erika took the time to look at the websites, she will find other complaints regarding professionalism of the Corporate office of Ashley Furniture, the quality of furniture, the no-shows of technical repairs, delayed deliveries, etc.

    On August 5, 2011, I have a rental agreement with Rac who Ashley Furniture deals with. I was charged approx $172 on my credit card. Between August 31 or Sept 2, I called Ashley stating that I'm terminating my agreement. I also paid another $100 in cash before I terminate the agreement. The contract stated that I can terminate the agreement at any time. When I call Rac, he stated to me a 20% stocking fee. I told him that I didn't see this in the agreement. He stated that it's between Ashley but I told him my contract is with Rac not Ashley Furniture due to your partnership with them. They still refuse to give me my money back or credit my card.

    It been three months over and over with same situation. He stated that I stated that I didn't want my money that why he didn't send me anything. I told him that, "if you owe someone something you would repay them. If I purchase a Nissan car from Nissan corp. I can't go to bank and make a complain, that would be stupid on my behalf when the complain is on the Nissan corp who I purchase the car with." I want this settled.

    We purchased a dining room set with additional chairs. Twice, the tables came to the store broken and our delivery had to be rescheduled. The chairs were delivered damaged and the delivery guys convinced us to keep them and allow a repair technician to come out and fix them versus sending them back. We are going on a month now of trying to get the chairs fixed. You are allowed to pick a date for the tech to come out, but they don't let you know a time frame until 2 days before that date and then it is at their convenience. They don't care if you have to work or have other scheduling problems.

    We are on our fourth rescheduling. I tried to send the stuff back but they told me I had to do it within 48 hours of purchase. I will never buy from them again. On top of it all, the furniture is not great quality for the price. It seemed a lot nicer in the store

    I purchased a rocker/recliner chair in July 2011 (item 7060425). After several weeks I noticed an audible "tapping" while rocking.

    Service came out on Oct 20; tech heard the noise. His solution was to stuff some cardboard between the plastic foot and the chair frame. Then he squirted WD40 on something that was not even classified as a squeak. 2 weeks later, it's the same issue, only louder. Now I have an appointment on 11/15 for another tech.

    I supposedly talked to a manager on 11/8, but she was of no help. I requested that someone come out sooner than the 15th. No wonder it takes so long for service, your furniture is all faulty. Cutsomer Service said tech said there is nothing mechanically wrong with chair. Then why is it making an annoying tapping?

    After reading all the complaints about workmanship, customer service and the number of complaints from customers, I am sorry I ever walked into the store. If the 2nd tech does not grant an exchange, repair or refund that is satisfactory, you can rest assured that I will be taking this to a higher level. I bought the same chair for my son and his is fine. I was horrified at the number of complaints against your company. I tried sending email to Ashley and they all bounced.

    I bought a couch and loveseat in May 2010. By November, I realized that when you sit on the loveseat on either side, you roll into the middle (caves in in the center). I have called numerous times. They have given me new cushions twice, even though I told them it wouldn't help the problem, as it seems to be a defect in the way they build their furniture.

    Their service guy has come out and taken pictures and explained the problem to them, but they insisted there is nothing wrong. The service guy even tipped over when he sat on it, because he was a bigger guy. And it sank down into the middle area that bad. They finally, after approximately 7 different tries at resolution, told me I could pick something different out.

    I went back to the showroom, and I either sat on almost every piece or looked at it. It is very apparent just by looking that they cave in in the center. I explained to a salesperson what I was doing, and they tried to help me and went around the store sitting on all of them. They were also very perplexed to find I was correct.
