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

I originally went into an Ashley store to purchase a queen size bed frame. I already had planned to buy a foam mattress from a company online that had excellent reviews. However, the salesman asked me about mattresses and I told him how I had researched foam, latex, and air mattresses, and how my husband and I were not getting good sleep because of back pain. The salesman then went into high gear to sell me an expensive latex mattress set. I had read good and bad reviews and had highly considered that option. I told him my biggest concern was that many reviews said that latex will not hold up but he convinced me that Ashley had a 7-year warranty that would protect me from any such problems. I paid $1,300 for an Ashley latex mattress set.
Now here I am two years later, my husband and I, in misery every night. The mattress has shape-shifted so bad that I literally feel like I am going to fall out of bed every night when I go to sleep. We complained to the Ashley store and they sent someone out to take pictures of the mattress. I was told by the representative on the phone that if 3/4 inch difference was found, it would warrant replacement. The man taking pictures found 3/4 inch difference on my husband's side and 1-inch difference on my side leaving a big hump down the middle.
However, Ashley called and said they noticed a stain on the mattress in the photo which voids the warranty. I told them all that it needed was the cover removed and laundered which is a big pain to do because the mattress is so heavy. They refused to stand by their product. I would have put a cover on the mattress if I had known that. I will never buy another stick of furniture from Ashley for as long as I live and have told everyone I know to be wary of them.

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

I purchased a king-sized bed frame at Ashley and have this horrible 6.5-inch gap at the end of my bed. I thought surely they sent the wrong-sized bed; this must be for a Cal King, not a standard. After fighting and fighting over the issue for months, I finally logged a complaint with the BBB. I received a call from the owner of the company two days later saying they would take care of the issue and assuring me they would fix this (only after the official BBB complaint). Well, they sent the same rails as before apparently and are saying this gap is "normal" (nothing normal about a massive gap at the end of your bed if you ask me). They admitted now that their showroom model has a 4-inch gap which is now the fault of my mattress somehow and I should let it go even after the owner promised to take care of the issue.
I'm back to fighting with the lower echelons of this company for a mere exchange to a bed that doesn't look so cheap and tacky. Don't shop there. Their customer service is the worst I have ever encountered in my 35 years of life. They downright refuse to correct any issues and are so bold as to blame you. I was even accused of misrepresenting information to the BBB because I thought for sure I was sent a Cal King frame since there was a 6.5-inch gap. Well no, their gap (4 inches with their mattress) is "normal" and that somehow makes me a liar.

I purchased a sofa, then drove home and read Ashley's return policy. I realized that if for any reason the sofa was not a good fit for my home, I could not return it. I could only exchange it for another item and it had to be done within 72 hours. Due to their poor customer service, I decided to cancel the purchase order immediately (within a few hours of the transaction). At this time, I was told I had to wait 7 to 10 days to receive my refund. I thought, "Poor service, but okay." A month went by and I didn't receive my check. I called and talked to Customer Service and realized they didn't even submit my request for a refund yet. I was told to wait another 7-10 days.
More time passed, no refund check arrived so I decided to stop into the store. Again I was told, "Sorry, it hasn't been submitted yet, but if you make another purchase today, "with our great sale" we will issue your refund immediately towards a new purchase." I said, "No way!" Another two months went by and still there was no refund check. I called and asked to speak to someone in management. I was told they were too busy and could not take my call. At this time, the customer service representative looked up my order and again told me the same story, "Sorry, it hasn't been processed yet; you need to wait 7-10 days." I am furious! It is my money that they have had for 3 months!

I placed an order on August 24, 2012 with a delivery timeframe of between 2 to 6 weeks. On several occasions, I contacted Ashley Furniture for my delivery status and was given different dates on each call. As of October 22, 2012, I still have not received my furniture. I called again and asked for an update. They said that only part of my order was in and the rest wouldn't be available until November 19 (that's three months after I placed the order). I asked to have the items in stock delivered and the employee stated that wasn't possible unless I was willing to pay an additional delivery charge or pickup the items myself. I asked to speak with a manager numerous times and none was available. I had requested a manager to return my call and still got no call back.
On October 23, 2012, I went to the Frederick store and finally after waiting 30 minutes was able to speak with a manager. She informed me that all my pieces of furniture were now available since they took the two items I was waiting for from another waiting customer. Today is the delivery schedule of my furniture. I had to call about 10 times and go to the local store to finally be able to receive my purchase after two months and 1 day of placing the order. 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.

Ashley Furniture home store in Conshohocken, PA - We were told the delivery is two weeks. Why? They have to start cutting the trees to make the furniture. No problem, we still bought it but when I called after two weeks, I was told 10 more days. This was the first and the last time I bought anything from this store. This company has to go.

I purchased a power sectional sofa on 9/12/12. Within a week of owning the sofa, the power switches only worked half the time and the sofa was already sagging. We called the store to ask what their return policy was and the gentlemen stated that we needed to come down and talk to a manager. We drove the 15 miles across town to a salesperson who said that the only thing they could do was to send a repairman to our house. I was extremely upset because I drove across town for something that could have been handled over the phone. Not only that, the manager Dominic wouldn't even come and talk to us, he was having a personal conversation about football with a fellow employee. I now have to take time off work to wait for someone to come and fix my broken sofa! Save yourself the frustration and do not buy from Ashley's!

I have had two incidents with Ashley Furniture that I am very unhappy with! Last month, I have purchased complete bedroom furniture set and the store inaccurately placed a wrong order in the computer. The furniture was delivered incomplete and on a separate dates that is an inconvenience to any consumers that need to take off from work. Then a recent purchase for a sofa was made and the delivery was late. Ashley Furniture needs to get with the program and needs to fix their system. Either the company hire more workers to make deliveries or fix their inconsistent time.

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. Stay away from Ashley Furniture and beware, other furniture stores sell the same furniture that comes from Ashley factory.

In July, I was out of town and Ashley Furn. delivered my bedroom set. When I returned, I noticed that the mattress does not fit the bed. It has theses gaps around it. I called and spoke to Customer Service and they said someone would contact me in 72 hours. They did not call me so I returned a call to them and they said there is nothing they can do or were willing to do about it. It is over $4,000.00. Here is a pic of what I ended up with.

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. So you have a company with bad customer service, but they hire someone to sit by FB and delete negative comments. Really? We took our business to RC Willey and they were beyond fantastic!

My husband and I have exhausted all attempts to get Ashley Furniture to do right by us. In short, we bought a "real leather" sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman. Within 6 months the "leather" started to peel. Ashley’s considers this normal wear and tear and refuses to do anything about it. I have started on FB to get the word out. My plan is to put as much attention on this matter as possible and demand Ashley’s be held accountable for their actions. For too long now I have sat by and read bad review after bad review and have seen countless other customers being taken advantage of. If you post a bad review on their FB page, it's removed within seconds. I tried to handle this privately with their FB page rep and have been completely dismissed. I have spoken with managers, customer service reps, have sent emails and phone calls and no one is willing to do anything. I did not spend thousands on dollars of my hard earned money for the pieces of junk I am stuck with in my living room. Like our page! Share your photos and stories! Get the word out!

I purchased a king size bedroom set from them at the end of August. I called twice to check the status of my order and when they finally delivered it at the end of September, they delivered the wrong bed. After going up to the store 5 times and going back and forth with the manager, they finally said they would give me a full refund. Then when I got back to the store after the furniture was picked up, they said they will still be charging me delivery charges ($139.99). When I have no furniture, I was told I was receiving a full refund. The manager then proceeded to ignore me and say that there was nothing I could do after I have an email proof that he would refund my money. I will never buy anything from the store again. They are the worst! Their associates are not educated on their product and they are liars!

I placed an order on 8/24/12 & was told the delivery time frame was 2-6 weeks. After several weeks of not hearing from Ashley, I decided to call & get my delivery date. At first I was told it would be delivered on Oct. 8. I decided to call again yesterday (10/1) to check on delivery status & was now informed the furniture is on back order. The estimated date would be Oct. 17th or later. This will be past the 2-6 week time frame & going into the 8th week from the purchase date. I explained my frustration & asked to speak to a manager. Of course, none were available to speak to me. But I was told someone would contact me before the end of the day. Nope, didn't happen! I called today (10/2) & was once again told no manager was available. I am extremely frustrated & dissatisfied with Ashley's customer service & their delivery time frame. They don't care for the customer at all. I have called them 5 times since Aug. 24th & they have never once contacted me to apologize for the furniture delay or to notify me of a delay. I had to find this out on my own by calling them.

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.

Finish on coffee and end tables - I bought a living room set approx. 6 years ago and within the first year, the finish was lifting up off the top of the end tables (both of them). 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'm sure the ** finish on the tables on Walmart would have held up better. So, sorry folks, and you can figure out some time while you go out of business. Too bad to be you, and too bad to be me as I am stuck with ugly tabletops.

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.

I bought a couch and love seat at a furniture store that carried Ashley Furniture. It has been the worst shopping experience of my life and I basically threw away $1,300. 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. I have never had to complain about a purchase to consumer affairs or the BBB before.

I contacted Morrisathome.com, Ashley Furniture to arrange an inspection/repair of sofa springs. Customer service didn't call to arrange an appointment. I contacted this company regarding warranty for a couch purchased on 09/25/10, sales order **. Problem involves the springs. On 09/10/12, I spoke to Dave to arrange a service call, understanding that I was responsible for the labor (parts remain under warranty). A payment was made for that service call, but a customer service representative didn't call to arrange an appointment. On 09/12/12, I spoke to Dave indicating my disappointment and, at that time, requested a refund. Response from Dave is pending in regards to problem and posting of refund.
I have purchased three pieces of furniture, manufactured by Ashley, and have found the workmanship to be poor and overall quality substandard. 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 my personal experience and yours certainly could be better.

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

I bought the South Bay Ashley Sleep mattress a year ago. Two weeks after I got it, I began complaining to my salesperson (at that time, Duluth, GA). At no time did she offer to have customer service come out and look at the mattress. I complained to the salesperson several times over the course of 6-8 months. Finally, the store closed and I learned I needed to contact the Buford store. I went in to have a drawer handle removed and discussed with them the mattress problem. (I purchased a bed, mattress, and adjustable frame.) Let me say, do not buy an adjustable frame and you will hear why as I go on.
Finally months later, the warranty folks came out. Yep, my mattress needs to be replaced. Ok, so my choices were get the same mattress (which if it doesn't last a year, then it's a piece of junk)… So, I decided to do a reselection. That also was a nightmare. The salesperson only wanted to put me into a mattress that costs about $2,000 more than I spent on the mattress I had (which was about $1,000). The mattress he wanted to sell me was also an adjustable, but by Sealy. I really wasn't willing to give an adjustable mattress another chance. Then, I found out they wouldn't take back the adjustable frame and give me credit to use toward a box springs.
You cannot put a regular mattress on an adjustable frame; manufacturer of frame doesn't recommend it and won't warranty it. So I'm stuck getting the same piece of, yeah that, mattress that will need to be replaced again in just a short while, and my sleep will never be comfortable. I haven't slept well in over a year and was hoping to get something with this 10-year warranty that came with my mattress. Let me also note that the warranty people kept telling me to talk to the Buford store manager (Edward). I've been trying to get him in the store (drove out there a couple times) and on the phone more times than I care to count, and he is never, and I mean never, in the store. He does not return your message, ever!
I will never shop Ashley again and going back to Bassett down the street. The furniture I bought at Bassett for the rest of the house is in much better condition than this mattress or bed. The other poster stated they had issues with the bed; I do, too. My sideboards won't stay in. According to the warranty guy, it's because there is no weight (because of the adjustable) to hold them in. They pop out all the time, and with a head and footboard, I just wait for the day the bed falls apart while I'm lying in it. I spent thousands on a good bed, and I thought, thousands on a good adjustable frame and mattress. Well, the frame is still holding up (frame by Leggett & Platt), but the mattress is no good and Leggett & Platt won't do anything but leave me stuck with this frame. I will be buying a new mattress and box springs, but it surely will not be from Ashley Furniture.

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

We have recently moved into a new home and need new furniture to replace what we got rid of when we moved and to also fill more space as our new home is larger. We stopped in the Bel Air, MD Ashley Furniture store on July 6, 2012 hoping to take advantage of the Independence Day sale that was going on. After browsing through the store (while constantly being lurked upon by a shameless salesman) and then leaving to visit another nearby furniture store, we returned to Ashley and purchased a sofa and chair for the family room as well as a casual dining set for the kitchen. We were told that our furniture would be delivered in 2 to 6 weeks.
To make a long story short, it is now 9 weeks later and we still do not have our furniture. We have been given three different dates on three different occasions of when our furniture will arrive. Each time, the date comes and goes and we do not receive even a phone call from the store. We have been told that the couch and chair came in right after we placed our order, but the dining set has not come in yet. In the meantime, we are sitting on fold-up lawn chairs in the family room and eating at a card table. We have spoken with the store several times and they refuse to deliver our sofa/chair until the dining set arrives. They refuse to discount our purchase or do anything to rectify the problem. They are rude and lack any customer service skills whatsoever. We have a lot more furniture that we need to buy and it most definitely will not be from Ashley Furniture.

Never, ever shop at Ashley. I purchased a sectional and a dining room set for my daughter. After the wait of 4 weeks, I received a call to let me know that the frame on the sectional was damaged, and I would not be receiving it, and it would be assessed by an adjuster, and hopefully, they can fix it. I paid for new furniture, not repaired furniture. After a long battle on the phone, I was able to cancel the sectional without having to pay the 25% restocking fee, but it is not over yet. When the dining room furniture arrived, one of the chairs has a notch out of the bottom of one of the legs and another wobbles. We expressed our concerns to the delivery fellow, and he said that we have 2 days to call and report any damages. This was a Friday night, about 8:00 MST, and of course, the Winnipeg office is now closed.
I tried calling Saturday morning, and the office is closed for the weekend. I called the store and they said not a problem and to call the main office on Monday. Well, I did that and a service adjuster was to come out a week later. Of course, the service adjuster does not show up. I called, and by this time, I have had enough. Keep in mind the company has a 100% peace of mind policy. I asked them to come and get the furniture because it was going to be another 2 weeks before someone could come out and have a look, and then I was told that they will either have to order in pieces or replace the entire set and again the 3-4 week waiting period.
This is **! The manager told me if they were to pick it up, I would pay a 25% restocking fee. What a joke. I was not satisfied with it on delivery. I am still not satisfied and I will never be satisfied with their product. The funny thing is I went to the Brick on a Thursday, purchased another sectional, and it was delivered the next day in perfect condition. I had asked my daughter not to shop there because 4 years earlier, I purchased furniture from there and it was 20 weeks and I had to settle for floor model pieces. I even had to petition the store (yes, with sandwich boards and flyers) to get a manager to call me to get my product. I can't stress it enough - never, ever shop at Ashley unless it is this Saturday, because I will be out there with flyers and a bright sandwich board expressing my true feelings to any customer driving in to shop there.

We bought a bedroom set from the Ashley Furniture store on Queens Blvd. on August 10. We were told that the delivery would be on August 17. I received a call from the store on August 16 telling me that the head board was damaged, but I could still get the pieces that are available. We told them that we wanted the entire set; therefore, we would wait until the piece that was missing is available for delivery. I then was promised that the set that we paid $2,600 for would be delivered on August 30. Guess what, today is September 6 and we are still sleeping on the floor waiting for our bedroom set. I am so sorry I didn't read the reviews before buying anything from this store. What a nightmare this has been. We are an older couple so this is affecting our health a great deal.

In doing so, I had to wait 3 weeks before delivery which was pretty odd because I have never heard such a thing, but I waited. The day my furniture was delivered, I saw the delivery guy pull out a black marker and started coloring on either the footboard or headboard of the bedroom set. I asked what he was doing, he said that it was scratch. So, I immediately called Ashley Furniture and discussed it with the administration. She had me to email pictures to an employee on July 28, 2012. It was horrible to have the furniture delivered to my home 3 weeks later damaged and not put together well after I had paid for it. That is not customer satisfaction or good customer service.
On top of that, it took the tech a little over 2 weeks later to come to my home and to take his own pictures, to recommend that my bedroom be replaced. In the meantime, I had to deal with Denise and she was not customer friendly. I did not appreciate her attitude doing this process, so much that I have chosen not to deal with her. Period. I have also taken my concern to the store manager (John **), who seem to be very nonchalant about the whole process and has chosen not to do anything.

We bought a dining room table and chairs, two trundle beds, couch, ottoman and coffee table. The biggest problem is the dining room table and chairs. The table we thought we purchased in the store didn’t look like someone took a sharpie marker and drew lines about one-inch long against the grain of the wood. I counted 44 marks against the grain of the wood. This isn’t what the floor model looked like from the one that we purchased. They sent a replacement which we didn’t accept because it looked the same as the one that we received the first time.
When we talked to them, they say its distressed furniture. I can accept that, but the table we looked at in the store didn’t have not one mark. The rungs on the chairs are so cheap we have had two breaks already. This is where you rest your feet on the stool. The trundle beds we bought had 5 knobs fall off the first week. We aren’t big people or rough on things. I just feel like we shopped at a cheap store and I want a table I can look at instead of putting a tablecloth over it.

I bought my furniture from Ashley’s in Jacksonville, NC in like April and then I picked it up on May 29th. I drove to California because that's where the military moved me next. On June 15th, I get my apartment and me and my husband put everything together except for the bed. We put the bed together and we try to put our box spring in it, but it doesn't fit and we keep trying and trying and it still doesn't fit. So, I called Sagely Furniture out here and the female on the phone was not helpful, so I drove up to Ashley's so I could talk to the manager about my bed rails. They said that they couldn't do anything because they are a different franchise. I was like okay.
So, they bring me this lady named ** and she said that she knew some people and that she was going to take care of it. I called the people in Jacksonville and told them that they gave me the wrong bed rails and the manager verified that they were still in the warehouse over there and he said that he was going to get them sent send it out to me. I told the lady don't worry about it over here in Oceanside and she was like okay. Then she was like, “Well, is there anything that particular you were looking for?”
Need I remind you that I only came there for them to help me with my bed rails? I said, “No, not really, because I don't have the money to pay for it right now, but I do want to look to see what I want to buy in the future because I still wanted a TV stand and a dinning room table.” So, she showed me the TV stands and I told her that I want my husband to pick it because that's the guy’s thing. My husband didn't see anything that he likes and so she took us over to the dinning room tables and I don't see anything that I like.
She said, “What kind of purchase will you be making today?” And I said, “I told you I'm not buying anything. I'm just looking.” So, she went on to say, “Well, are you financed through us?” I said yes, I am and I haven't even started paying on the furniture that I have now and I'm not going to buy anything. Then she said, “Well, we'll give you money and you can pay it back whenever.” I said no and I don't want to; I mainly just came here so she could help me with my bed rails in which Ashley's have the wrong one and now she expects me to put myself in more debt to get this table and TV stand? I don't need it that bad. So, she harassed me the entire time I was in the store trying to force me to buy something that I didn't want to buy.
She came up to me on numerous occasions asking me if I want to buy or finance and they’ll give me money. So, I was getting ready to leave because my husband was getting really upset and so was I. She got me before I left and she said, “Well, do you have any credit cards? Any credit cards, two or three?” I said no. She said, “Oh, well, if you do, then you can put $25 on one and $25 on the other,” because she wanted me to put a down payment after I told her that I'm not buying anything. I left and I'm never shopping at Ashley's Furniture again.
My bed rails just came finally 3 days ago. It’s been almost 2 and a half months before they finally sent them to me and it wasn't the rails that were in Jacksonville. They order them in part, so it came in pieces. I was at that point that all I could do was laugh because I've never seen so many mistakes from one company. They need to fire that lady ** because she chased me away. I really did want to buy something there just later on and she called my cell phone 4 times before she stopped calling. This is the first complaint I have filed with anyone ever! It shouldn't have to come down to this. It’s ridiculous and I hope you take this into consideration. If not, then I’ll call, too. People don't deserve this. It’s very rude.

I have been purchasing furniture through Ashley Furniture in Live Oak, Texas since 2010 after arriving home from Iraq. The first few orders went good, but from then on, there were numerous issues with ordering the correct furniture by the salesman, not informing me of the policies before purchase, etc. I was given a ripped leather furniture and then they told me to write it on the pickup paper and told me to still take it. They would come out and exchange it since it was also the wrong set. When nobody came out, I went to the store and they said they would get somebody out to repair the furniture. And when they exchange the wrong loveseat, I would have to pay the delivery fee. I told them I was not going to pay any delivery fee as it was not a mistake of mine - it was their mistake and it was brand new furniture that they wouldn't take back after I spent a large amount of money on the leather set.
Next, I ordered a new headboard for my bedroom set as it was damaged during my move. The store delivered only part of the headboard and two pieces were missing. A year has now gone by and I still have not received the other two pieces or a refund. Then, when I bought another piece of furniture, the store drew out money for a delivery fee when the furniture was not delivered - it was picked up by me. It took pulling teeth and constant complaining in order to receive my refund - and then given wrong information about what the refund was for by John **. As I called the store yesterday to inquire again about the two pieces of furniture they promised to deliver three weeks ago, I was once again passed around by four different employees who made it difficult to speak to a manager.
After finally speaking to the manager, John **, he was extremely rude. He said that I was the one who didn't answer my phone a week later after the delivery was supposed to be made. He would be happy if I did not shop at his store anymore. He is also the one who has broken the promises to fix the issues from before. The only person I have ever been able to speak to through this store who has helped and was pleasant was the sales manager, **. I still have not received my product from a year ago. This place has become too big and therefore treat people with corporate attitudes. The front desk service employees had no clue what was going on with things and were not properly trained. To deal with people who send you round and round in order to create confusion and not resolve the issue seems to me like a scam to take people's money.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Bedroom Set: bed and foot board, dresser, nightstand, chest - The entire bedroom set is of extreme poor workmanship, quality. The seams are exposing wood (think it's press board), chips and nicks in the veneer. The screws into press board causing future hole. The mattress is 4-1/2 thick. The box spring is of poor quality and very noisy. It sounds like it is broken and the mattress sags on top. I had only 1 month. I have complained from day three. The salesman lied and said the showroom floor mattress would be the one shipped with the bed when we opted out for the expensive Ashley Posturepedic. Due to the size of mattress, head almost hits night stand corner. Have to put a pillow there for protection. They outright lied about the type mattress that they sent with the bed.
Every piece of furniture has a defect of some sort on it in many different areas. Veneer separating, dings, missing veneer. All these defects were sent to Ashley and they are doing nothing about it. We will have to take them to small claims court to get our money back. Do not do business with them, they sell junk furniture and their customer service is unhelpful.

We purchased a couch and furniture set from Ashley's Furniture 2 and half years ago, which was made up of a couch, loveseat, chair, ottoman. Our couch frame snapped in half at two spots, and springs from the couch came loose. Nails that hold the couch fabric in place on the side of the couch have been coming out also. We are two responsible, clean adults with no children. Our furniture has been very well taken care of since purchased new from Ashley's Furniture. I called Ashley's store in Potsdam, NY and talked with Bruce in April 2012. I stated there was a 5-yr limited warranty on our couch. It would be an $80 fee to come to our house, or we can drop off the couch for a $55/hr fee, parts covered under warranty.
We chose to get it fixed at our expense since the couch matched our whole furniture set. By the time we borrowed a truck to drop off the couch, 3 months had gone by. Now, the labor rate, we are told, is $75/hr. Also, they stated the couch needs extensive work and full restoration on the frame. They also stated the couch might not be fixable, so we might be "out a couch." All on a couch that's 2 and half years old? What quality is that? I tried calling the company direct, and got the runaround and they referred me back to the store. The Ashley's store referred me to the company. I did get a form from the Attorney General to fill out for warranty/quality. We're also trying this. Our couch has been there almost a week now while we dispute about fixing it or replacing it.

This is the 3rd time within the first year that my couch is coming apart at the seams. First time, 2 cushions came apart on both sides at the seams within the first month. Ashley sent replacement cushions to honor the warranty. The second time, the back of the couch came apart in two spots, and Ashley refuses to exchange the couch. I sent an email to the VP and I spoke to the customer service manager and they ignore my request for a couch replacement. 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. Moral of the story, do not purchase from Ashley Furniture if you want it to last more than a year.

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.

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!

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.

They ran out of hard copies, and their computer system was down when we purchased. So, they sent us a copy in the regular mail. Nothing is signed or dated by them anywhere. From now on, I will buy from Goodwill and just give things a good cleaning. At least, I will get my money's worth.

We ordered over $5,000 worth of kids bedroom furniture on 4/9/12 and was promised a delivery date of 4/22/12. We received a call from Ashley stating that all of their computers went down and all of delivery information was lost as well. They went on to say that the problem should be fixed in a day or so. After the third day of not hearing from them, I called back and asked for a new delivery date. Their response was that the system is half way up and delivery dates should be given out on Wednesday (April 25, 2012). I cannot understand why a company as big as Ashley does not back-up their computer systems on a daily basis. Their IT people should all be fired! Or, is this another stalling scam by Ashley?
My furniture was purchased in the Freehold, NJ store (first time and last time)! If anyone else out there in cyberspace has had a similar experience, I would be interested in reading about it. Right now, I am contemplating on going to the store and demanding my money back (unless they lost my credit card payment in their computer system too).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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. Well I didn't pay that much money for a living room suite that is going to have to continually be repaired. I would like my money back or some type of a discount on this purchase.

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.

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. Your delivery company and repair company also shows no customer service. I will never recommend to anyone I know going to Ashley and buying furniture. In fact, today, some asked me and I certainly said that your customer service ends once you leave the store.

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 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 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.

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!

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? Her response, "I’m not sure, it depends on how long it takes the paperwork to go through?!"
Seriously, this is the customer service department, sad! Never again!

I have spoken with 2 managers in this store & at least 5 or 6 associates. We purchased & paid for a sofa on 11/22/11 in this store. They did not deliver it & keep their part of the deal. 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 spoke with the office manager Jilliana,around 1/7or8/12 and she assured me she would send an email to corporate & let me know what was going on. 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. I said this is ridiculous & there is no excuse for this. He said,"I agree.".I informed him that he had until tomorrow morning to give me an answer. He said I will email corporate. I said, I have heard this over & over again from you people & I am tired of it.

We have tried and tried to contact Ashley for months. First, we contacted Foret's Furniture in Lake Charles, LA where we purchased the furniture (They have since closed.), and then we filed with the insurance we bought for our furniture. After a few months, they said it was the manufacturer's fault that our padding has become so flat.
We are in our 70's so the furniture has not been abused. We are trying to get some help, but there's no response from anyone. What do we do next? I have all my papers of this furniture. The Lane furniture that I had before this one lasted us over 15 years and is actually still great and our grandson is using it.

I purchased a leather loveseat and sofa for $3500 from the Montrose, Co. store. I had to drive five hours both ways to pick it up as there was no store close to where I live. The salesperson talked me into buying a leather protection plan for $200. Here it is one year later and I am having problems with the leather. I called the store. Guess what? No longer in business. 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. In other words, the Montrose store took my $200 and didn't register my information for the protection plan. 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. I will never buy a piece of Ashley Furniture again. Beware.

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!

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. I have sent in yet another repair request but repair is not what it needs. It needs to be junked!

Upon delivery, after two and half weeks, the buffet was returned, because the glass window was very crooked, and would not close properly along with a very wobbly dining chair. They were going to be returned and replace them on a second delivery date.
Upon second delivery, in which I had to miss a days work, they brought the chair and china set but without the inside glass shelves, and on top of that, the top of the china set the wood stain finish was incomplete, and you could see the bare wood showing very visibly, which I took a picture of. I immediately called the manager, and asked him I wanted to return the whole china/buffet set, and get my money back, because I was not going to pay $1,078.52 for their poor quality furniture, and their two times failed delivery, in which I lost a day's work pay!
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 back of my sales slip under the "Sales Terms and Condition" section which they issued, clearly states that "except in cases of delayed delivery, partial delivery, or if and item is damaged upon delivery, there are no changes, cancellations, refunds, returns, or exchanges".

They also said that someone would call me and set up another delivery. It never happened.

After raising my voice and standing my ground (in person) they waived the pick up fee, but are still refusing to refund my initial delivery fee of $89. I was told after the fact by the salesperson that all of their furniture contains this composite wood. 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 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.

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

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.

Purchased a "Leather sectional" for $2,400.00. The store I purchased from 17727 Tomball Pkwy Houston Texas 77064. I have contacted them numerous times, went to the store spoke to the Operations Manger Terry, who said someone would call me back in 24 hours at the end of the week. I told him no one called. He scheduled a Tech to come to my home that Saturday 11/5/2011. the repair tech never showed up. Since this was the second time, they sent a tech the first one was out of line when he told me that I can unzip the arm rest that was deflating leaving an arm to rest on hard wood, and fluff or re-stuff the arm that was in Sept 2011! I told him Hell no, I did not pay this much money to have to do that.
The other issue was my pets were leaving various stages of scratches on the material, which I was told on my visit to the store in Oct, that I should keep blankets on the couches to protect them. Hello I have had furniture before and never encountered problems with scratch marks on Leather. When the second Tech did not show up, the Store Manager Jimmy ** told me he would have corporate call me. Well that's the second encounter with them and again "No they will not doing anything about the scratch marks." However, I must note that if I had purchase their expensive Extended warranty, then they would fix the scratches. They only agree to send a tech out to fix the arm rest. This furniture is not even 3 months old and looks like crap. They will not work with me and I have spent too much of my valuable time to deal with a bunch of nimwits.

I purchased a $2,476.76 worth "Leather Recliner and Chassie Sectional", delivered on July 22, 2011. The first problem was the stuffing in the arm of the recliner flattened and moved, so the wood was felt when you place your arm on the arm rest. I then noticed that scratch marks appeared, every time my dog touched the material. I called the store, went to the store, spoke to their corporate office twice, registered a complaint on Yelp, which deleted my comments because I listed the store address. I did get a response to one of my Yelp posting, and was given a telephone number that does not work.
I have threatened to spread the word wherever, and to whoever will listen to me. I have pictures. By the way, they did sent a tech to repair the flattened arm rest, and he proceeded to tell me I can unzip many areas of the sectional, and re-stuff, or rearrange the stuffing. I was told by the operations manager of the store, to place blankets on the furniture to eliminate the problem of scratching marks from my pets. Hello? I didn't buy the furniture just to cover it.

I attempted to purchase furniture at Ashley furniture store and was told I wasn't approved but would qualify for their in-store credit.I was so excited and needed new furniture. It didn't dawn on me that Rac acceptance,was in anyway associated with rent a center. But indeed, I believe they are, they share the same collection tactics and outrageous taxes.I purchased the furniture September of 2010, and was told today I have two more years left. I was told by management several times they are in no way affiliated with rent a center, but when I drove by Rac is on rent a center billboard, so they weren't telling the truth.

We bought a sectional from Ashley in Mesa, AZ. We were told it was quality furniture, however, we have had nothing but problems with the furniture from day 1. First the cushions keep slipping off. Then where the pieces connect there are large gaps causing us to sit on wood. We then noticed that the cushions and Ottoman started sagging on the edges and where our feet sit. All these problems after owning this furniture less than 3 months. We have contacted Ashley numerous times, and every time a service tech came out, they claim this to be normal. We even asked them to take it away, and give us a refund, but they said they can't.
We fought the charge on our credit card, as we paid full price on our AmEx card. When they saw the charge being questioned they started calling and harassing us to return the furniture, however, we have not yet seen a credit on our card. Once the credit came through, we gladly returned the shoddy furniture. We then went to La-Z-Boy and bought quality furniture. We may have had to pay more, but "You get what you pay for."

My wife and I purchased 2 rocking recliners and 1 cocktail table from the Ashely store located in Arlington, Texas and each piece had issues. We contacted their customer service department and a technician was sent out the following week. He was able to fix the problem on 1 recliner but the other recliner had to be replaced (they wanted to only replace the 1 side by taking the recliner completely apart at our house), because I told them I did not want a repaired recliner.
The table however had areas on all 4 legs (at top area) where the finish was missing and the areas were was black in color. Prior to me leaving for work, the technician said he could match the finish and although I had my doubts I left for work and my wife stayed home. When I return home later that day the wife had all the windows open in the family and living room due to the fumes from the paint (not stain to match the finish) that the technician applied. So we put the table in the garage till the next afternoon so the fumes would leave the house. I called the service department and told them that the repair was unacceptable and that we wanted a new table delivered. Their response was that the technicians report had not been submitted so there was nothing they could do at that time. I kept calling each day and each day I would get the same response until a 5 days later, I finally received a call from a manager in customer service and he agreed to have another table delivered.
2 1/2 weeks later the new table arrived and it was in the same condition (no finish on legs) except it also had rub marks and scratches on the top. Don't these people look over at the furniture before they deliver to the customer? My wife called me at work and told me the problem and we decided that if they returned our delivery fee we would keep the first table so we would not have to deal with them again. She called customer service while the delivery personnel were still present and they agreed to refund the delivery fee to our credit card. Well, after 3 days passed, our credit card did show a refund however it was only for 1/2 the cost of the delivery fee.
I immediately called customer service again and they said that my wife had agreed to 1/2 off the delivery fee. I told them that this was not true and if they could not refund the remaining monies due they could come get the table and give us a full refund. They refused and again said that my wife had agreed to only 1/2 off the delivery fee and now said she also agreed that if they gave the refund it would cancel the warranty. Needless to say we will not purchase furniture from them again. What a nightmare!

After making November payment, I asked what was my balance and I was told $533 dollars. I asked how is this possible and the associate stated that a "portion" goes to Ashley furniture for their fees. I asked what is my percentage rate and I was told that i didn't have a percentage rating.

A few months after the 5 year warranty expired, one of the steel supports of the bed's foot board broke. After contacting the store's customer service department, I was told that the bed set had been discontinued for at least 18 months. I told them that I was willing to pay for the part since the warranty just expired. They told me that I had to contact customer affairs in order to help me further.
The costumer affairs personnel were rude and they were unwilling to help me. They just repeated the same information about the set being discontinued and that there was nothing that they could do. Despite telling them that I could not use the bed they just repeated that no parts were available. When I told them that then the bed should be thrown to the trash, since it is useless without the support, they transferred me to another department were I was prompted to leave a voice message; which I did.
The next day I got a call from some office at the Headquarters. I once again (for the 3rd time) explain the situation and once again I told them that I just needed some guidance in order for me to find the part or find something similar so I can use my bed. Their response was, "Go to a hardware store" At first I thought they were kidding, but after the conversation continued, it seemed that that was the best advice they could give from a furniture company as big as Ashley. I told the person over the phone that one doesn’t need to be a space scientist to know that in a hardware store I could find a "quick fix"; I was looking for a more permanent solution to the problem. Once again the person told me that I could find many solutions at a hardware store.
Since I had started to get frustrated, I asked them that since the model has been discontinued for 18 months and my warranty expired a few month backs, what would have happened if the part broke 4 months ago while I was "covered" by their warranty. Their response was; “The store would have taken care of that" but gave no explanation on how they would take care of it.

We purchased a bedroom set September 11, 2010, from Ashley Furniture store here in Columbia, SC. When we received the set a few days later the bed started squeaking sounded like it was gonna come apart, it was wobbling brand checked it and realized it was installed properly, it has missing screws in some areas the screws weren't even screwed in all the way. We contacted Terre (sales manager) for Rac Acceptance, and she sent some tecs out and they said we needed a heavier mattress or new bed the iron rods weren't for that bed it wouldn't hold the mattress, and it's just not a secure bed, Terre then ordered us another bed but had the same issues.
We then saw Rodney (store manager), he tells us to go to Lowes and buy planks and that we would spend money to make the bed safe, we thought that was insulting due to him being a manager, he thought it was funny, an let us know it wasn't a good set, we were like now you tell us, a few months ago we went back into the store Rodney ignored us to the fullest, and by now everyone knows us, cause we are in there every month 2 or 3 times, trying to resolve this, so before we go out the door he makes the comment "here to buy another bed" and smirks, Terre was with us, that wasn't professional, we were offended, then another manager gets involved Richard (Rac Acceptance) he tells us maybe a new mattress will help, had that written up by a sales rep, we never got it, never heard anything else, we were going to switch it out, the bed and mattress has really done my back in.
In August 2011, Richard wants to come pick the set up. It has been discontinued due to the fact no good and tell us we can reselect or give us our money back. We went in to select but we have to stay in the $3000 range, it was either we got night stands no amorie or vice versa, and they told us we could go to other store to look. We found something at Value City but as before we hadn't gotten that Richard never said anything, he then told me to come back to Ashley to pick out again I did Al wrote it up gave to Terre, per Richard, nothing again, Richard said he would talk to cooperate to let them know all the issues and tell them they have a un satisfied customer, he said he would work it out, we never heard anymore, I told him the last time we talked this wasn't good customer service, and we were very unhappy, we have had this set a year and in 11 months your decision is to come get it and we have nothing. He asked me what did I want and I told him a full bedroom set like we purchased.
Why should we be penalized when they have know about this since day 1, why should there be stipulations, or we have to settle for something cheaper, they took the set off the floor has placed it in the back where damage an markdowns goods are. You can see where they glued the posts, and I went back to the store to see Terre, and there was the set, the bed a dresser on the floor I was very bothered. I went and got Terre an Al, and they said it was a markdown but shouldn't been on the floor, other customers had returned the bed for the same reasons. I took pics of it, this bed has been broken down put back up an I have video this, we have stayed in constant contact with Terre, and they are aware we had stop payment cause of the issue and they were expectable of this an agreed upon until we get it fixed but they call as a courtesy.
We can't even sleep in the bed a lot, it squeaks so, so we were paying for something we don't even sleep in, and now he wants to schedule a pick up an leave us with no bed no nothing, when we purchased from them we had a full set that we slept in, we have done everything he has asked of us, now he hasn't stuck to any of his agreements, his word has been invalid. We went there because we needed a bedroom set and still do; this bed has torn my back apart. How do you do customers like this, that has been patient cause they asked us to, as they said to us " we will get it right, if we have to put you in another bedroom set, right is right, fair is fair cause we could have been some really nasty customer, but we thank you for being patient, and this is what we get a year later.

We purchased several rooms of furniture from Ashley Home Store in Farmingdale a few months ago. The salesman who helped us out was also the store manager. He walked us through the entire process, and we went through the store to confirm each item on the list, comparing it to the item on the showroom floor.
When the furniture was delivered some weeks later, we noticed something wasn't right with one of the beds. We were told a box spring wasn't needed, but the mattress sat unusually low on the bed frame. We returned to the store, thinking we needed a box spring. When we were there, we noticed the bed frame in the showroom did not match the bed frame we received. We thought we were getting the "platform" bed, and we were delivered the "sleigh" bed. It turned out that the bed we received is $1,000 less than the bed we "bought."
The salesman/manager apologized and admitted it was all his error. He claimed to have written up the order wrong and promised to speak to his boss and correct the situation. Unfortunately, the way the order form is written up, we had no way of knowing the item listed was not the item in the showroom. The salesman actually showed us the item on the order and pointed to the bed in the showroom stating that was what we were getting. The $1,000 difference is substantial, and I never would have agreed to the entire order if it was $1000 higher for the bed we wanted.
After a few weeks of back and forth with the manager, he told me his boss said my only option is to pay $1000 plus additional delivery if I want the bed the salesman told me I was getting. If not, I could just keep what I have. The salesman did give me a box spring out of the "clearance center" which heclaimed is worth $250. It isn't the right box spring for the mattress they sold me, but it was all they would offer so I took it. Even at the stated value, I am still out $750.

I received an automated confirmation call on the day before the delivery confirming that 4 pieces were being delivered that made up the entertainment center.
I was called on the morning of September 30, by the driver of the truck, notifying me that some of my items were on back order and they were only delivering 1 of the 4 pieces required for the entertainment center. Sometime later, after the delivery had been completed, the warehouse called to inform me that my items were on back order. We rescheduled delivery of the remaining pieces for the following weekend. Once those pieces were delivered on October 8, the driver informed me that the legs to the middle console, which was delivered on September 30, were missing and yet another delivery had to be scheduled to install the legs and complete assembly of the remaining bridge and shelves for the entertainment center. That delivery is still pending, but will result in nearly 3 weeks to get this entertainment center delivered and completed assembled.
The time would not have been a major issue if these events had been communicated properly and in advance. The missing legs are just an inexcusable error by the first delivery team.

The quality of the furniture is totally unacceptable. For example, the bottoms of the dresser drawers are cardboard which are laminated to look like wood, but as soon as you put anything with weight into the drawers, like a few pairs of jeans, the bottom falls out and the sofa/hide-a-bed sags. The finish on the dining room table is so crappy but when you first see it at the showroom, it looks fabulous. When you start using it and cleaning it with mild soap and water, the fake finish deteriorates.
Whoever makes their furniture needs to be held responsible for shoddy workmanship for which hordes of people are paying tens of thousands of dollars (which is what I did and so have hundreds of others). Obviously, there are no satisfied customers. I purchased my furniture quite awhile back and I decided that it wasn't worth the hassle to voice a complaint.

I ordered a new footboard on June 23rd under a warranty claim. I have called several times, the first time, it hadn't been shipped yet. The second time I called, it had already arrived at the store where it was purchased, which is Jackson, TN. I called the store and they still do not have the footboard. I personally know the store manager there and he was willing to ship it to me due to me living in Asheville, NC now. I don't agree with the footboard not being able to be directly shipped to me in the first place. If I did not know the Jackson, TN store manager, I would have to drive home (450 miles) just to get a footboard.
What is the purpose of a warranty if it takes around 6 months to get something? I mean, it could take longer than that considering that I still do not have it. I believe that I deserve some sort of store credit as compensation for the inconvenience of my bed being broken all this time. I am very dissatisfied right now and I do not plan on giving Ashley's anymore business. My dad has been to the Jackson, TN store several times and the footboard simply isn't there. According to the staff in the store, there are over 10 footboards in the warehouse in Mississippi somewhere.
It is amazing to me that not just one of those can make it to my doorstep in Asheville. With Ashley being such a "fine" furniture store, it's pitiful that they cannot accommodate their customers' warranties and simply ship me one item. There is an Ashley 15 minutes from where I live and it is insane that I cannot even go to that store and pick one up. My mattress and box springs have been on the floor for 4 months now and I have given Ashley more than enough business in the past 4 years.

My recent purchase with Ashley Furniture has been the worst purchase experience I have ever had. The product, however, is a Tempur-Pedic Cloud Luxe bed and is wonderful and I recommend it highly--just not purchased from Ashley Furniture.
We have experienced terrible deceptive sales practices, incompetent delivery and set-up of our product, rude management personnel, mistakes in our address to the finance company which led to bills being returned and late payments, as well as the financing being fraudulently assigned for the entire amount to two separate finance companies. (Ashley received the sales amount twice, and I am trying to clear up the fraudulent double billing).
First, when I began shopping for a bed, the salesperson told me we would qualify for a free TV if we purchased a Tempur-Pedic. And because I would be spending more than $2,500, we would also qualify for their free promo of a free trip. I was not really interested in the TV nor the trip so the salesperson said they could give discount on the furniture instead. The salesperson was pushy, took a credit application from me, and then got me pre-qualified through both Wells Fargo Financial and GE Money Bank. However, when it was time to sign for the sale, there was no discount on the furniture I had picked out, no option either for the TV promo or the trip promo because we were going to finance the sale and not pay cash for it.
My husband was furious about all the deception but the manager on site was rude to us. So I backed out of the extra furniture and really wished I had backed out of the bed and purchased it elsewhere. Additionally, when we were finalizing the purchase of the bed, it was only then that we learned that we needed to put a down payment on it. Financially it was not a problem but all of the promos, promises, and deceptive sales practices made the sales experience terrible. Not to mention that I had to spend hours in the store while they manipulated me into this purchase with all their promises. We chose the financing through Wells Fargo for this purchase.
The delivery timeline was good, only two weeks. However, when they scheduled the delivery they couldn't give me any sort of timeline except that I would be the 4th delivery of the day. I had planned to work half a day then head out of town for the Memorial Day Holiday. They did not get to my house until almost noon, even after we called and checked on their progress. The guys who delivered the bed were nice but they mis-threaded a bolt on the bed frame and did not tell us and left it. My husband just happened to look under the bed about a week later and saw the bolt not put in correctly and on the verge of snapping off. He called the store and was told it would have to wait till Monday and recommended that we didn't sleep on the bed. The staff on the phone took a message, and no one ever called us back on it. My husband went and purchased a tool to re-thread the bolt since it was mis-threaded and couldn't be used. He spent $30 but fixed the bed.
A little over a month after we got the bed, I got a phone call from Wells Fargo Financial wondering why we hadn't paid our bill. I had never received a bill or any correspondence on the financing of the bill and it turns out it was because they had the wrong address for me. I paid the Wells Fargo representative the past-due amount. I checked the copy of the credit application and I had clearly written the correct address. My thought was that maybe Wells Fargo messed up--not so!
Another month later and I received a phone call from GE Money Bank and they want to know why I haven't paid their bill. See, they had been sending my bill to the incorrect address as well when they should have never been sending me a bill in the first place. But per GE's records, I financed a $5300 bed though them. I have checked the paperwork, it clearly states I purchased the bed and financed it through Wells Fargo and am correctly paying for it though them. GE is helping me dispute the charges.
With all of my financial paperwork, I went to the Ashley store where I purchased the bed. I told a manager what had happened and that the entire purchase was filled with issues. He told me I had to wait in line for Karen, the office manager. After I had waited an hour in line for Karen, Greg, after helping three other people in line behind me decides to copy my paperwork for Karen. He assures me that they will fix it and to call Karen on Monday. I called Karen on Tuesday. While she is nice enough, she is not done investigating it and needs more time and will call me back when she gets it done.
It has now been two weeks later and Ashley Furniture has not fixed the error with GE Money Bank.
I want the financing to GE Money Bank reversed immediately. I want Ashley to make sure my credit has not been harmed by wrongly financing this one purchase twice and giving the finance companies the wrong address causing late pays. I want a sincere apology for the entire mess.

Now here goes the couch, they will do whatever it takes to fix this because I bought the insurance. Having the bedroom set for 4 months, shouldn't there be some warranty? I did get it replaced but still. I was considering to buy another bedroom set, but now I am seriously thinking maybe to look somewhere else.

I purchased an Ashley Sofa and Loveseat and was extremely happy with my purchase. I have discovered, since my purchase, that this set has several staples that are loose and will cut you. After only three months, the set has started making noises that sound as if it will fall apart. I understand that I did pay a discount price but I did not expect a dangerous furniture.

I'm writing about the poor customer service we received at the 4th Ave. location last week. My grandparents (Joe and Donna **) went to buy a bed. They picked a bed that was what they thought perfect, but turned out to be too soft for her. She has spinal stonisis and has to have a bed that is right for her spine. I think they thought paying more for a bed meant better comfort. But the 3 days they had it, she was almost hospitalized because of the softness and lack of support on her spine.
They both returned to Ashley's to see about exchanging the bed, they were told flat out no. The guy who actually sold them the bed (Jim) was very apologetic and said he understood the issue and offered to speak to his manager. She came out and was very rude to them, and told them no, they could not exchange or return it; no exceptions. We called later to speak to her supervisor and was denied the information, and then hang up on. I'm hoping that someone can understand that this is a 92-year old woman who has a limited income and cant afford to just write off a $800 bed.
I'm trusting that someone can rectify the situation. The bed was slept on for 2 nights, not like it was used for 2 or 3 weeks. I just read the list of complaints on the consumer complaints website. Wow, how is this business even open still? Why is customer service not your #1 priority? I guess you could just add me to the list of other people not satisfied with the service your business is providing, or you could do something about it. My Grandpa Joe can be reached at ** if you would call him and please try to fix this problem ASAP!

Nine months ago, we bought a floor model sofa and love seat. We were told it was leather. We did sign off of warranty because it was a floor model. We now have the surface color coming off and it is white under with looks like vinyl. I called and they told me too bad that it has been 9 months and we signed off on the warranty. I said, "But first, this looks like it is not leather as we were told and it is faulty material and not something that is from wear and tear," still they would not work with me. I feel they sold us something that was not what they said it is, and it was faulty construction. They deceived us. They would not even look at it.

I went on July 5 to purchase beds (a daybed and a twin) for my daughters. I was given a delivery date of July 22. On July 22, I was told it would be July 29. Okay, we were a little miffed but no real problem. On the 29th, pieces were damaged or missing (depending on who we talked to). So, August 5 was the next date. At that time, we still got no daybed or final parts for the twin bed. We were told it would be Aug. 20, which is today. The daybed is missing, its trundle and rails! And no one, from the store itself on up through the customer "care" center, seems willing to do anything about it!

Robert then told us that we needed to run a credit application to see what we qualified for and it came back at 8,000 dollars so I told him if we got everything for 10000 I would pay 2,000 in cash and he agreed and a deal was done. "So I thought" Well my wife, child and I have been in the store for two hours and our child was just running a muck. Robert said that he would have our paper ready for us to sign quickly to hurry us home to calm our child, he got the papers and said that everything we discused was in there to just sign and he would set up delivery. Now this 100% my fault not to have read our papers and me or my wife didn't because we trusted that we was getting all the furniture that was agreed upon we did not look at our papers any more just happy that we was going to have nice furniture in our new home.. Long story short yesterday 08/04 we finally get our delivery after two weeks and no contact from the Ashley store and Robert our sales rep in which I called several times but was never available. The delivery guys get here to my home and the 1st thing they say is " did they call you about some issues with the furniture and I say no whats wrong? The helper Brett Quay says that one of the legs on are endtable is buste dand will be ok until they send a tecniction out, so I say find just bring it in. the next thing they bring in the table and do not have all the parts to set it up and I say ok just set that up with the techniction guy and then they bring in the China Cabinet and we notice that it has some issues and he said that they would leave and get the inspector out to replace, the next thing I was suppose to recieve a free TV for purchasing all the things that I did and they dont have it. I am still not that upset even though I just spent $10,000 dollars and all have is defective or no merchandise at this point, so the bring the bedroom suit and everything is fine with it and I notice that thier is no more furniture on the truck and I asked hey guys where is my living room suite? They say that they do not have one on this delivery and I say your suppose to have one. So I have now lost my cool and I call the Johnson City store and ask to speak to Robert the sales rep that sold me the furniture and Joe the store manager answers the phone and interduces him self as so, I procede to tell him that I am missing my living room suite and he immeaditly tells me to look at my paper work there is no living room suit on there and I didn't pay for one and I wasn't getting one. so the conversion gets heated and he told me that he don't remember making any deals with me and I couldn't talk to Robert and I should have read my paper work "which I should have" I trusted that I would be treated good by a company that I just spent $10,000 in. He then told me that I was not getting anything else. I told him find that he could take his stuff back and he said he would and charge me a 20% restocking fee in which is my $2,000 cash. I have never been more vialated by someone that I just spent alot of money with. So today is 8/5/11 and I haven't heard from the delivery dept that was suppose to contact me about the busted endtable leg,missing kitchen table parts, broke china cabinet, missing Tv and cheated out of living room suite. My question to you is how do I get help to rectify this horriable experince. I just want what I agreed to purchase and for that product to come and be worth all the money I paid for. All parties involve once again is: Robert Heath, Sales Rep, Joe Gross, Str.

After having purchased my dream home at Granite Ridge, my fiance and I decided to go furniture shopping on 8/9/08. I put a $200 deposit on an etagere that costs $2,032.00. Well, it turned out that we didn't need that piece of furniture so we stopped in to say that and we were assured that the $200.00 deposit would be there for us to use on any piece of furniture in the future.
In June 2011, we found ourselves in need of some dining chairs. So what do we do? We go to Ashley to cash in our $200 and get our chairs. At Ashley, we were informed that the deposit could only be used for a purchase equal to the original purchase of $2032.00. This was a complete and utter surprise to us. That was definitely a new development that was not told to us before. The store personnel were not willing to let us use our deposit for any other purchases, they would not budge.

It takes less than five minutes to file the complaint and they will start addressing your complaint right away.

After 20 years of having the same furniture, I was so excited about getting a new couch and loveseat. When I saw the elegant design of what I purchased and how nice the salesman was, I was convinced to buy Ashley Brand with a extended 5 year warranty. Big Mistake!! I should of checked out quality online first instead of trusting a name brand store. When it arrived, they were using brown markers to touch up scratches on the colored wood. This will need to be a purchase for me because the color comes off easily. After 2 months, the pillows started going flat, even on the loveseat where no one sits. I called and a tech and he came out and said it was "normal." They would not add more stuffing.
The cushion where I sit started decompressing after just a few months as well. When the tech came out, he said he could get me some extra pillows and some "back Up" seat cushions for "forty dollars." I had to make the check out to the tech "personally" and not the store. I thought that was strange. Well, that was June and it is almost August and I have had no calls or delivery. My check was cashed the very next day after it was written. When I called a few weeks ago regarding this, the manager was condenscending to me and said they were on back order, and the techs cell phone number does not take voicemail messages. I said that this looked like theft, since no one called or delivered, and the check had to be written out to the tech's personal name. The manager said, " the tech was nice to you and invited you to his church." Yes, he was nice as he took my money but would not return phone calls on his cell. I am not happy with the quality, even though the style is beautiful.
I am a single mother and feel I was taken advantage of...they could at least call and give me a status, they should have done this from the beginning when it was supposedly "back ordered." I have a copy of my check from bank and will file a police report if they continue to delay without calling me. I regret doing business with them and what I want is new, good quality furniture that I paid for. This tech has my bank account number, address, phone number, etc. This looks shady to me. The check should have been made out to "Life Style" furniture in the first place. I am too trusting of people. Thank you for your time...first time I have ever purchased anything and had to file a complaint. I am very upset. $1,400.00 dollars does not come to me easily and I paid it in full at time of purchase.

I received delivery of over $3000 in furniture on June 3, 2011. Here is the email I was asked to send them:
I received my delivery today from your company, and was quite unhappy with the delivery men. They left a mess on the lawn and in the apartment, and weren't very friendly.
When it came the time to bring my sofa up, they were "unable" to turn the sofa to get it up the stairs. So, they came up, and told me that I had to talk to customer service.When I talked to customer service, I was told the item could be returned to the warehouse; disassembled, redelivered and reassembled. This would cost me an additional $150; which is outrageous, since I just spent almost $4000 with your company. When I asked if I could return it, they stated I would be charged a 30 percent restocking fee.
I truly believe that either way I lose; after having to deal with uncooperative delivery men, I feel they could have been able to get the sofa up the one flight of stairs. Now I am being inconvenienced with both my time and additional fees.
Upon examining all my new furniture, I have already found 2 flaws; one on my headboard (which is dented & cracked on top), and one on the loveseat cushion (which has a scratch mark in the leather)-- indications of how horrible the delivery men were.
Please, give advice. I truly do want the sofa, but feel it is unfair to charge me an additional $150.
Every time I try to call customer service back, the phone doesn't ring and then I get disconnected. The phone number you said to call which is 516-941-2665 is NOT working. Please give advice-- this is getting pretty ridiculous.
It is now July 26, 2011, and I am STILL waiting for the technician to visit, to check the furniture. I have a scheduled appointment for August 20th (even though my furniture was delivered June 3rd).
In addition, I have attempted to call back someone at the Ashley Furniture Home Store to assist me with disassembly service. They told me I must come in to the store. I do not LIVE in the area of the store any longer, and as a physician, I don't have the extra time.
When I spoke with the representative to do the disassembly service, I was told they only deliver on Wednesdays.
Are they serious?
How is a customer supposed to be home from work on a random weekday of a work week?

I was in the process of closing for my home and I was shopping for furniture in the meantime. I saw some things that I liked and the salesman told me that I can pay 20% and they will put in on lay away for me and when I close for my home on the 24th and pay the final payment, the furniture will be delivered to me in one week. On June 11th, I paid $1,400.00 down and promptly after I close on the 24th, I returned to the store and made my final payment.
After processing the paperwork, I asked the salesman when to expect delivery. It was at that time that he told me that the furniture would be delivered to the warehouse on or around the 16th of July. Needless to say, I was upset and disappointed, and to add insults to injuries, I realized that all the furniture is on B/O. I asked to have the invoice cancelled and my money returned to me, and was told that they do not refund money and that I would have to pay 33% restocking fee if I wanted to cancel.
I am 71 years old and my wife is 64. We are moving in a new home with no furniture. What are we supposed to do while they order the furniture, which I had on lay away.
I believe this action was very deceptive. I should have been told the policy of the store when purchases are made and let me have the option to go somewhere else or wait. I sincerely believe that it should be my decision. I was well within my right to recession period to change my mind on the contract or is that not a law anymore.
I have been waiting six weeks for my furniture. Another thing I don't understand is that when one puts something on lay away, shouldn't that merchandise be available before the consumer can put it on lay away. I purchased merchandise on lay away from Sears, Kmart, and Walmart all the time and as soon as I make final payment, the merchandise is available to me. I spent over $8,000.00 at Ashley's.
I have written to Ashley's twice and they have ignored me. I expressed my desire to cancel the invoice to them and to BBB.

I purchased a sectional from Ashley furniture, and like many others here, I also purchased the Guardsman Elite 5-year Protection Plan. The sales associate made it seem as if I could get my sectional cleaned as often as I needed especially since I have a child under 2. It all sounded great in the beginning, until I needed it cleaned for the second time. Now, the first time went smooth; I did everything that I needed for them to send someone to clean my furniture (by the way, the cleaning tech cleaned my entire sectional, but they say they are not supposed to -- not my fault!). They came through on their side with that, but only because it was a so-called "courtesy clean". Mind you, in their policy, it says nothing about a one-time courtesy clean for bodily fluids. That's strike #1!
On my second time, I called in and requested a service request form to fill out; I got one e-mailed to me, filled it out, and the next day, aired it to them since they like to claim that they don't receive the information I send them. This time, it was for bodily fluids and food and beverage stains. The food and beverage stains were denied because they said that I had reported that same stain back in March and that order was never completed. Okay, so you would think that the claim that I am trying to report would be filed under March; and the new claim covers for what I'm filing for in June, right? Wrong! Had I known that we had an unfinished claim in March, I would've fulfilled that because I needed my damn sectional cleaned.
So, I asked for a manager, got some chick named Kendshe, with a terrible customer service by the way, and she left me on-hold for so long. I had to call on my husband's phone to get someone else to talk to me. She didn't sound too apologetic either about making me wait for so long; and then, she never provided her extension number. I asked for her manager, and she sent me to Nick (ext.# **). Don't waste your time talking to these two idiots. If they say you're being transferred to them, hang up and call back. I'm sure they all are idiots, but those two are not worth your time. Anyway, Nick was somewhat of little assistance. He told me things that I never knew -- like I'm responsible for calling in, and getting a service request number to use when I call in to inquire about the status on my service request order.
But, he also said that the service request number was not too important because they can look up my account with my phone number, too. Okay, if it's not important, why ask for it at all? How the hell is anyone to know that, when no one ever provided that information in the beginning? But every time you call, you're being asked for it. Then he told me that my request back in March stays active until it is completed. Then I asked him, "Isn't the cleaning tech supposed to report that the furniture has been cleaned in order for my request to be completed?" He says, "Yes." Do you see where he ** up at twice? Then he tells me that the customer service reps who answer first are not allowed to give out information about a pre-existing order request. ** **! It's my account. I deserve the right or option to continue an existing request, and/or cancel it and make a new one.
I then asked him, "How come when someone calls in to make a new request, the old one is not cancelled?" He didn't have an answer to that, like they do everyone else; he just kept trying to get off the topic and kept repeating their sorry ** policy. Well, it doesn't state that in their policy, so why is there no answer? Because it's a load of crap, that's why! So now, I'm at my wit's end with this idiot; and I request an address, phone number, e-mail address and name of his boss and or corporate. He tries to give me the address that I sent the service request form to. Oh no, buddy, I have that useless piece of trash already. So then he starts saying a number, I had to ask whose number is it. He tells me a corporate liaison. Okay, well, does this liaison have a first and last name or what?
He never answered that question. He just kept repeating that it's a corporate liaison and someone will call me back. I specifically told him I did not want to speak to an answering machine because when I called their office my so-called 'account manager' named Lisa (ext. **) never returns my calls, even before this situation escalated to this extent. So, therefore, I do not wish to speak to a machine; I need a person. I still got nowhere with him; so I ended the call. In the end, all I got was my two cushions cleaned. I am highly pissed with this company.
And then the cherry-on-the-top is, in order to receive a refund of 10% or $50 for the warranty (when I paid more than that for it), I have to call Ashley furniture and tell them I want to cancel the plan; and all they are gonna do is call Guardsman and tell them that I want to cancel and work out some kind of amount amongst themselves to give me -- when the middle man (Ashley furniture) can just be cut out; and Guardsman and I can hash out a full refund. Does that make sense to anyone else but me? I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever buy another thing from them or Ashley furniture. They can all suck it, as far as I'm concerned.

I have bought a lot from Ashley Furniture. The problem is a red sofa. I went in and told them about it. The lady said I should try spraying something on it.

She didn't even glance at them.
Today, I called her and she said they will not do anything. That is not right. She said, they had no other complaints about the red sofas they sold. I do not believe that mine is the only one that has the problem. I am a 75-year old widow and I believe in truth and doing what is right. Thanks for being there for people like me.

On 11/14/2010, we purchased from Ashley a Sealy Mattress set for $1,991.92. The model is a Stearns & Foster Jackson SQ Estate. When we purchased the bed, my husband’s main concern was that he did not want a mattress that would sag and one that you sink into when you sleep. The salesperson told us this was the best bed for us to purchase and that it had a 10 year warranty as well.
In May 2011, we noticed that the mattress had 2 permanent 3/4" indention where we sleep. I weight 106 lbs and my husband weight 175lbs. We called Ashley and they sent a bed tech here to measure the indention. He agreed it was exactly 3/4" deep on both sides. He indicated that the indention would have to be 1 1/2" deep before they would take the bed back and replace it.
At any rate, we contacted Sealy and they said that we are stuck with the mattress that should have lasted 10 years but it only lasted 6 months. Should the retailer be required to state that the mattress will form a permanent 3/4" indention in the area that you sleep on within the first 6 months of ownership and that the indention will increase in depth until it reaches as much as 1 1/2" deep. Should they not be required to inform the consumers of this fact before they sell the mattress to the public?
They said they would not take the bed back until the indention is 1 1/2" deep. I am sure you sleep on a bed and understand that you cannot sleep in a hole all night and wake up without a severe backache. I've been told by the retailer and the manufacturer that I have no recourse. I paid close to $2,000 for a mattress that is defective.
Do I have any recourse through you? I looked up all of the complaints for this store, their lack of acceptable customer server for defective products they sell and I looked up the Sealy complains and there are at least 30 complaints about this mattress specifically.

Ashley Furniture is the worst company ever. We purchased a table and chairs less than 2 years ago and have had problems from day one. They always referred us to the warranty company for any problems, which we have had to contact several different times now. They have been out to replace our cushions 3 times.
Within just a couple of months, they are wearing down and getting these defects in the "leather". We have talked to the company and corporate, and they will do nothing for us. They said that we had a one-year manufacturer's defect warranty but that they would never honor that and kept referring us to their third-party warranty center.
The store salesman would recommend that we "lied" to the warranty company and told them that it was accidental so that they would cover the cushions and the store would get out of replacing them. But the problem is that every time they would replace the cushions, they would put the same manufacturer made cushions back on; and within a couple of months, they would be ripping again!
We spent $2,000 on this table and feel completely ripped off and have seen many complaints about Ashley Furniture on the web and under their online store reviews. We are a family of 7 and cannot afford to go out and purchase another table! The corporate office is very rude and would not help us in the slightest way. They pretty much said tough luck!
We do not have the money to hire a lawyer, and even if we did, it would cost us more than the table is worth! We feel completely taken advantage of and will never shop at Ashley's again and will tell everyone we know that they do not back up their products and that their products are the worst quality on the market despite the initial look of the furniture in the store! There are so many complaints about this company online that something has to be done to make the buyers beware!

I purchased a $3,300.00 worth of furniture from Ashley on 6/13/2010, and within less than a year, I have had service technicians make repairs on three different occasions. On the last call, the service technician ordered parts for a recliner because I was told that Ashley’s policy is to repair prior to replacing. The technician ordered a part and I have had the part at my household for over five weeks and still no repair technician. I called Ashley HomeStore and I was told that it was my fault for not calling them when the part arrived. I explained to them that they were the ones that had ordered the part and they should have known an ETA, and I also told them that they could have tracked the part being that it was shipped via FeDex. I told them that due to their negligence, that repairs were no longer an option and I would like the recliner replaced being that it was still under the warranty period, and as of now Ashley refuses to replace chair and insists on repairs even though they had been given ample amount of time.
I’m totally dissatisfied with their customer service. The salesperson lied at the time of purchase when we were told that if any problems occurred during warranty period, that item would be replaced. This company cares nothing about the consumer once they have your money.
