We bought the Atlantis sectional last year in May with Goof Proof insurance and the material of vinyl started wearing off. We called customer service, Goof Proof service, we went to store manager, none of them are helping to solve this problem and now we are stuck with the couch which looks old even though it is not even year old. Very bad customer care service. Please don't buy furniture from Bob's Discount furniture store.

I bought a couch set in August 2015. All leather and the Goof Proof plan. The leather on the seat is short so it exposes the cloth. Bob's won't repair it as they are saying it is normal wear and tear. But it's not, the leather is too short. The Rep today said that is expected after 1.5 years of couch life and that the cushions shrink. What??? Yup that's what she says. But then if the cushion shrinks would that not actually help the leather shortage? Anyway a hole exists now on the exposed cloth. Goof Proof won't pay because they said it is caused by the manufacture defect that Bob says does not exist. And because I did not witness the hole being made they will not fix it. Yup!!!
I am not on here just to report my complaint and go away. There are 862 other similar complaints. Does anyone here want to do a store stand out with me? I am in MA, even if we can get even 1/4 of us to connect and we can hold signs in front of a store or several stores. These complaints don't bother Bobs, it does no damage and most people come on these after they have been had and it's too late. E-mail if interested **.

My entire set became loose and wobbly. One stool was practically hanging, the side of the table was buckling and chipping. I called the Goof Proof Protection Plan. They sent out a technician. He looked at the table and said he could possibly patch it up and glue it as far as the stools. He said he might be able to go to Home Depot to get screws. I paid for a table set not a patchwork quilt and a carnival ride! He said he couldn't repair the table. He called the office and put me on the phone with customer care representative. She suggested I call Guardian the other party who is responsible with the protection plan.
I call they they're not responsible Bob's is. I call Bob's back. The representative tells me that I refused service. How can refuse service if you don't have the proper tools/equipment to fix it? Not to mention why did you pay an extra $100+ dollars for a so called protection plan that isn't protecting anything but themselves. Please do not purchase anything from Bob's. They do not honor their contracts and they are unfair to their consumers. DO NOT be fooled by free candy and coffee or the nice friendly staff. In the end you will wind up being dissatisfied and aggravated.

Sometime around April 1, 2017, I called to inquire about utilizing my "Goof Proof" protection. After being asked several questions regarding the problem with my leather sectional (lasted about 20 mins. or so), the rep told me I was denied. To say the least, I was not happy. About a week later I called the store I made my purchase (East River, NYC). I called to ask if I could purchase a new sofa cushion because my cat urinated on it (disgusting, I know). She then transferred me to the customer care hotline. Rep, Katrina, who was pleasant, initially, told me my sofa was probably covered by my protection plan. She informed me that this was handled by yet another group and put me on hold several times to contact them (this was April 8, 2017 around 11:30 am). After the last hold, she never returned to the phone. I held on just to see how long she'd keep me on hold - TWO HOURS I held on before calling in again! Their customer service is disgusting!

I purchased 2 chairs from Bob's Discount Furniture. Arrived on April 7, 2017. I was very disappointed so I called them to return the chairs. They would not take them back. They advised me it was not their policy to take back furniture. I am now stuck with these 2 chairs that I do not want or even have the space for. Is there something I can do to convince them to take them back. The chairs are very uncomfortable and they have a bad order. Can someone please help me. We live on a fixed income and now we have to pay a high amount for something that we can't use.

My parents purchased a bedroom set for my daughter from Bob's Discount Furniture and purchased the Goof Proof Plus plan in belief that it covered all accidental damage. Upon making a claim we were told that the damage wasn't covered because it was a hardware problem and the insurance only covered wood. If this were a one time incident it could be put down to a dishonest or uneducated salesperson but upon investigation on this site, the BBB, Yelp and Bob's Discount Furniture's own Facebook page, the practice is widespread through the company. Goof Proof Plus is a scam that should really be stopped. The company is knowingly taking money for a insurance plan the Bob's Discount Furniture does not expect to cover any damage.

I ordered the area rug in January 2017 and it was never delivered. Bob's kept telling me that it was on back order and push the date. Finally, when they ensured me that the rug was going to arrive on Sat in the middle of March. After waiting all day it never arrived. When I called customer service tells me that they came to my house, but no one was there. Meanwhile no one left my house waiting delivery. Bob's customer service then said that they couldn't do anything, but reschedule for three weeks later.
I ask to speak to a manager, but they refused to connect me to one. Then goes on to say that they could put me on a list to receive the delivery the following sat, but it's not guaranteed. If they couldn't it would take until the following sat. They ensured me that someone was going to call me to give me the status on the delivery date. It's now April and I still didn't receive a phone call or any rug. I canceled the order today and didn't even get an apology. Bob's has the worst service I ever seen in my life.

Customer service is not everything when it comes to Bob's Discount Furniture. Being someone who has worked for years in customer service and who also to this day treats everyone with respect, I can tell you this is not how you want to be treated. Especially when you spend so much money. GOOF PROOF my ** -- they sell you on Goof Proof and tell you not to worry that it covers XYZ then when it comes down to it they cover NOTHING!!!!! Quality IS **. So my point is, spend the extra money because in the end you will get better quality (which 100 percent matters) and you will get MUCH better customer service!
I have tried to give Bob's another chance time and time again and never has my experience been better. Customer service in YONKERS is the absolute WORST IN THE WORLD. UNPROFESSIONAL, and they hung up on me twice. Bob -- you are the worst, you have created a scam and if I met you I would love to tell you how much your furniture sucks and how much your customer service sucks. Nice job.

Purchased a couple of electric reclining sofas from Bob's and within the first 4 months, the sofa was serviced 4 times. Today was the 4th time and the service tech smelled like he'd been smoking in a room of 50 pungent cigars lit at one time. It's been 4 hours since he left our home and it still smells horrible in our home, it's awful! A half of a can of Lysol spray didn't even kill the odor. Wake up Bob's! Have some consideration please for the individuals that keep your company in business - Your Customers!

We bought a queen size mattress from Bob's, a Bob-O-Pedic hybrid set, with an adjustable power bed. 3 days after delivery, when I lay down, with a 7-8 inches distance from the edge, my whole body leans towards it. There is no support towards the edges. A queen size bed would work fine for one person but not for 2 people. To solve it, I wish to get an upgrade but they won't exchange the power bed, only the mattress. I cannot afford to re-purchase a new power adjustable bed and now I am stuck with this purchase. So much for the "no gimmicks". Not satisfied at all! BEWARE!

I purchased a 6-piece bedroom set from Bob's Discount Furniture (Monroeville, PA) on 3.2.17. My order was PAID IN FULL--in cash--on the day of purchase. I was advised at the time that my furniture would not be available until 3.22.17, so I scheduled delivery for that date. On 3.17.17, Debbie, from the Monroeville store, called to say that they didn't have all of my pieces in stock. We rescheduled delivery for 3.28.17 as it was paramount that I receive the furniture in one delivery.
However, when the delivery truck arrived this morning, I was still missing 2 pieces and 1 of the delivered pieces was damaged. Mind you, I received 3 telephone calls and 2 texts messages since last Thursday confirming delivery, but not ONE phone call advising of the missing furniture. (This indicates a willful intent to deceive as Bob's: 1. knew that all of my furniture was to be delivered together; 2. knew they didn't have all the pieces; 3. called to confirm delivery; 4. yet never advised of the missing furniture.) I called customer care after the delivery service left, and they agreed to replace the damaged piece and bring the missing pieces on Thursday 3.30.17.
However, I was advised that I would have to confirm my requested delivery time directly with the store as well as request any type of credits or refunds for the inconvenience from the store as well. I went to the Monroeville location at 10AM and was greeted by Erich, the Manager, who advised that errors happen and there is nothing he can do about it. I was then advised by the other manager, Tiffany, that she could not guarantee my delivery time nor issue any credits for my inconvenience. At that point, Erich advised that he will refund the whole order and that I would get my money back when the merchandise was retrieved.
HOWEVER, Bob's is refusing to schedule a pick up to retrieve the merchandise. The delivery service is more than willing to come get it, but the pick up has to be confirmed by customer service. Customer service is refusing to confirm the pick up with the delivery service, the store, and myself. The last service rep that I spoke with, Jaime, said that the request was "put in" for Thursday but he doesn't have a time, they won't confirm a time, and there is no one in the company that will confirm the date or time or resolve this matter other than the vague information that he provided. So, basically, I am to just wait and hope someone shows up and once they do, Bob's will 'consider' giving me my money back.
I have been trying to resolve this matter with Bob's since 7AM. Thirteen hours later and I have no resolution, no money, and incomplete/defective furniture. (Yet, they did have the nerve to call with an automated survey asking how satisfied I was with today's delivery.) Bob's has had my payment in full for almost 30 days. Bob's did not deliver my furniture as promised, in good condition, or within a reasonable time frame. Bob's will not commit to retrieving the defect merchandise or refunding my money. IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE FRAUD AND THEFT TO ME! Don't do business with Bob's Discount Furniture. Their prices are low because they keep your money without giving you the goods.

So I bought a sofa. After six months I noticed that it was rip all around so I call customer service to sent somebody to check. They never came so I called again. The guy came. He took pictures of what was wrong with the sofa. I never got an answer from them so I called two months later and the guy who answer my call, he told there is nothing we can do. It's not a manufacturer damage when they took pictures so his final answer was to purchase another sofa. I will never buy anything from Bob's Furniture and I will let my friends know so they don't buy anything from the store and I post on FB, Twitter so people know to don't buy anything from Bob's Furniture cause after you buy things from them they don't take care when something is wrong. It's the worse furniture store.

I bought a dining set and include the Goof Proof (to ensure the dining set in case any damage). It's been 3 years since I purchased this dining set, the leather material from the chairs start to peel off. I call Bob's to find out what they can do since all the chairs have the same problem and my Goof Proof is good for another 2 years. They told me to contact Angel Guard for Goof Proof and they ask me to take pictures of the chairs and email to them. I send the email on 2/24/2017 and today 03/22/2017 a month after I haven't hear from the company, I call again and they told me that my Goof Proof will not cover the damage of the chair because they only cover for accidental damage. My point is, why they offer this type of (warranty) if they will not fix the problem? This is another way how they scam customers. Their furniture don't last and they lie with the Goof Proof.

When I purchased furniture from Bob's, I initially had no worries. Then, I had a spring on the love seat pop loose, read the reviews on this site, and immediately began to worry. I'm happy to say that the whole experience was very well handled. I called them on Sunday, March 19th and had an appointment scheduled for today, Wednesday 22nd. While the repairman did not arrive in the estimated window. When he did, he promptly repaired the love seat and was on his way. I can only hope that future encounters with Bob's run as well.

The Mercury Right Facing Sectional comes in two pieces. The long sofa part and the chaise. We decided to waited two weeks in order to get delivery on a Saturday. Got delivery on a Saturday but it was the wrong side chaise. Rescheduled for the correct chaise and had to take off work because they could not come on a Saturday for another 3 weeks. Another day off from work and they delivered the same wrong chaise again. They still could not add us to a Saturday and hence a third delivery day scheduled and 2nd day off from work. I called the store and they said they deliver in the morning. Then I get the text, they will come between 10:00 and 2:00 pm. So I call the store once again to say morning only. I was notified by computer voice mail they would be there in 45 minutes at 9:30 am. They did not showed up at 11:10 am.
They did bring the correct chaise (which was supposed to be specially inspected before getting loaded on the truck at this point) but the wrong feet came with it. Oh my! Where is quality inspection? It is unfortunate that the warehouse does not function well because the store employees and delivery people seem very nice. I suggest Bob's Furniture Warehouse, re-evaluate their process of delivery. They have to be losing a lot of money with all these extra trips and returned wrong pieces of furniture. Leave room on Saturdays for warehouse mistakes and exceptions. Inconveniencing the customer over and over again for warehouse mistakes does not create satisfied customers. More training is needed in the warehouse as to the products and inspection. Spend your time and money on that and you will have a more profitable business and not have almost 1000 complaints on this consumer affairs site.

We bought my teen daughter a bed for her birthday in April, 2016. The other day, we noticed that the wood that supports the slats (platform part) had split and therefore the mattress was sagging in the middle. I spoke to a customer care consultant who was able to make an appt. for someone to come out to assess whether the bed could be fixed--the earliest date was for one week later. Apparently the request had not been submitted because I did not receive a call to confirm the appt and, in addition, there was no record of the call in the system. The manager at the Hunt Valley, MD location and the sales associates were lovely and apologetic, but the disconnect between the store and the customer care division was just awful. At this point, my daughter is still sleeping on a saggy bed and we're not sure when the bed will be serviced or replaced.

We went in to buy an inexpensive table and 4 chairs for our fam. room. for the grandkids to use for coloring etc. to replace an old plastic table and 4 chairs (cost approx. $40). We talked to a salesman, Jack, told him what we wanted, selected what we wanted, gave him all the info. needed, listened to the speech about the replacement 'insurance' and declined to take it. We then waited for Jack to enter the info. into the computer, we then WAITED AND WAITED for some yahoo (some floor supervisor) to come and 'verify' the sale. We then had to, ONCE AGAIN, confirm our telephone and address and desired product. We THEN had to tell this rude and aggressive salesman (Jeremiah or something like that) NO about 10 times as he tried to RE-TELL us about your great (NOT so great according to other reviews) replacement/repair 'insurance' as he more and more aggressively pressed us to listen to his spiel.
We said NO again, gave him 10 seconds to do it and he left in a huff. I SHOULD have said, "sure, I'll take the stupid ins. in return for free delivery," but I didn't. I COULD have said, "do you want the sale or not? If you do, take NO for an answer." We wanted a cheap table and chairs for the grandchildren, we got it. We WILL NOT return for more abuse from this yahoo with extreme OCD or bad micro managing instincts. Our salesman explained the 'insurance' quite well, we verified our address and telephone and product desired with him. Having to do it again, like illiterate children was RUDE and unnecessary. Your floor manager was RUDE and AGGRESSIVE. We will not return and we WILL mention this to our friends. I gave 1 star, if ONLY I could have given a half star or NO star. But this sort of used car salesman tactic does NOT work in DE. And did not work with us.

I bought Sofa about 7-8 months ago from Bob's Furniture with 5 year goof proof Plus Plan. A couple of months ago we notices small scratch at the back side of the sofa, that was on back side and we just ignored that as don't want to take off from office for appointment and follow up with customer care then Goof Proof... A couple of weeks ago, my sofa hit the wall while moving one place to another in my home and got small cut at the corner that was clearly visible from a distance. So we called Bob's to get that fixed, someone came from Bob's, took picture of both scratch back side and cut at the corner. Representative told that "I have sent these picture, someone from Goof proof will call you to replace this piece. Our part is done".
None from Goof proof called me, I again contacted to Bob's Customer care. They connected my call to Goof proof team. Goof proof team said because there are two thing, one scratch at the back side and another at the corner, this would be consider as multiple accidents so that would not be covered with Goof proof plan. NO REPAIR / NO REPLACEMENT/ NO REFUND. They also said that if we want any assistance for this Sofa in future, "you have to show us bill confirming that you have got fixed both scratch and minor CUT on sofa, only then we can entertain any further issues for next 4 years." That was HORRIBLE experience, Bob's is saying, "we are out of the picture, it's Goof Proof responsibility" and Goof Proof is saying, "because it's two things, scratch and CUT with wall at the corner, we will not fix this or replace this item." DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR THESE KIND OF PROTECTION PLANS.

Bob's delivered a couch to my house. In the process, the delivery person stepped on a heating vent on the floor which caused it to break and then caused a hole in the ceiling of the basement below. We called immediately and filed a claim. After weeks of being given the runaround, I was finally able to speak to someone. Now, they are denying my claim to pay for the damage due to lies from the delivery person. I have photo proof and have documented all calls and emails exchanged.

I have made numerous purchases from Bobs. I realize that this isn't Thomasville or any other 'High End' furniture. I have never had a problem at the store (Riverhead, Lake Grove), in fact when something was once delivered damaged they returned within days and replaced the defective parts. My issue is when a defect was discovered after delivery.
We purchased the 'Revolutions' table and chairs for our kitchen. About a month after we got the set we noticed a large 'chip' in one of the chairs. We were not sure what had happened so we didn't think much about it. Over the next month though we realized that all across the table and the chairs the paint was peeling off the high part of the wood grain, and on one chair a shoe actually scratched the paint right off. It was substantial and noticeable that it was occurring all over the set.
We called Bob's "Customer Service" and after 58 minutes on hold we finally talked to someone who said send a picture and within 48 hours we would have an answer. I made the MISTAKE of saying that I thought it was defective and quickly learned they don't expect you to be honest. 3 days later we received a reply that they looked at the photos and there was nothing they would do it was not a defect and to contact Guardian. We called Guardian and 45 minutes later we finally go someone on the phone. We again sent photos and received a reply that the damage was not 'accidental' and since we did not know when exactly or how exactly it had occurred they would do nothing.
I spent 3 hours the next day on the phone. I was told #1. Because I was honest and said the damage had worsened over about a month they wouldn't do anything. I was actually told, I SHOULD HAVE LIED or made something up. #2 Because I said I thought it was a defect, they were not responsible. #3. I was told that because I filed a claim that was denied if I claim anything else was wrong they would automatically deny it. I said to the 'supervisor' that "this is a scam, you say you won't pay and there is no way to appeal that" and she said "Sorry to tell you the bad news but that's the way it works."
I brought one of the chairs back to the store and showed the manager that you could literally peel the paint off with your finger nail. She seemed very concerned and upset about our treatment and sent an email directly to their personal representative. I told her that between Bob's and Goof Proof SOMEONE should fix this. GREAT, by the next morning we got an email saying, "NOPE not our problem, you're stuck with it." SO, if you haven't purchased a GOOF PROOF warranty, I wouldn't recommend it. I honestly believe it's a scam. IF you already have it. Have a good story ready when you call them. No matter what happened you have to tell them it was some kind of accident. Sorry 'BOB' but you will never get my business again.

Horrible setup in this company. When I called to make a claim before the year was done I was told once things are delivered no returns can be done, things began falling apart about a month after delivery, got replacement, sent someone to check no issue. 2 months later again issues with dressers, knobs falling, wood is of worst kind. Paid for goof-proof because we have kids, they are worst than the FBI needing exact time date and how things happened. Like wth, things are falling apart!!!! No help.
Claims Guardian company the worst, apparently they only cover accidents by us. A pipe burst and wet my whole dresser, damaged it, cannot claim because they said "we are unable to due to it being covered by home renters insurance." I DON'T HAVE HOME RENTERS INSURANCE! I live in an apartment building. Also, when I called to file a "goof-proof claim" they sent someone and said there's no evidence of manufacturers issues. WOOD IS PEELING LOOKS LIKE CHEAP PLASTIC UNDER. If that's not a manufacturers issue I don't know what is.
Oh, I was also told that in April of 2013 which was 4 months after our purchase, the coverage changed and if I would of purchased it later on I would of been fully covered for everything that may happen but because I didn't I only have a basic goof-proof. I'm done with this company. I wish it was shut down already with all these problems it has. Some refunds would be nice or them buying us furniture from an actual worthy furniture store.

I purchased an adjustable long sized bed from Bob's Furniture. When they arrived it was 3 Spanish gentlemen who did not speak English. They set up the bed upstairs while I stayed downstairs due to hip surgery I had about 4 weeks ago. After hearing much banging around they had stated they were done. I asked them if the bed was all together and everything worked which they responded in very broken English.
After they had left I worked my way upstairs to find my dog chewing on a dry pellet pack lying on the floor. One of 3 plus many cut wire ties and two boxes containing brackets and wires and bolts not installed. I checked and found only one side working and the other side the feet would not raise. Also the bed was not bolted together but in two separate twin extra large beds. I called Bob's and they stated they could not come back out today but would have to make an additional appointment to have them come out again. This bed was 2200 dollars for it. Terrible service. Never again. Do not buy from this company. Second bad experience with expensive merchandise.

Spent just over $5000 CASH purchasing their "bob-o-pedic" king size mattress and box springs, a complete living room set that we picked out on our own. We didn't purchase one of their "bundle deals" as well as their "5 year Goof Proof" insurance. We chose a matching reclining loveseat and reclining power sofa with heat, massage and lighted console. We then chose a high end coffee table, matching end tables and 2 lamps.
The sofa and loveseat ALONE were $1500. Within 18 months, the sofa began losing stuffing from the headrest. They were very quick to send a technician out to "inspect" the issue. It took him literally 5 minutes to tell us this would NOT be covered. I contacted the manufacturer and was told they only covered within the first 12 months. Frustrated, we even asked if Bob's could repair it if WE paid for it. We were then told the cost of coming to pick up the furniture (because it couldn't be repaired in-home), repair and redelivery would cost more than just purchasing NEW furniture, which they would give me at a "discounted" rate. Getting a good look under the fabric was very telling. Sub par materials. Basically you end up buying furniture advertised at liquidation or warehouse deals. They just slap their own name on it and call it exclusive.
We hung on to those 2 pieces, (shortly thereafter the loveseat ALSO lost stuffing from the headrest) for 5 years. They finally went to the curb last week. We replaced them with a new sofa and matching sofa bed, NOT from Bob's. NEXT month we will be "replacing" our "bob-o-pedic" king size mattress, which turned out to also not be worth the price. HARSH lesson learned. Since then I double and triple check online review research.

On 3/03/2017 I got a furniture delivery. I was told the sofa wouldn't fit up the stairs or elevator. The delivery man had me sign for what I received and told me to call the store or go online or visit a store closer to me and tell them I need a smaller sofa. I asked him if it came smaller. He said, "Yes." I called the store when they opened and I was advised by a sales rep that it did not come smaller. He said, "The delivery man did not want to take it back." He told me to call customer care and explain, which I did. The rep who answered told me I could send the piece that I received back but could only get a store credit. She then said that her supervisor said I had to keep it because I signed for it. I advised her the delivery guy assured me it came smaller and he had me sign for it.
She spoke to her supervisor then came back and said, "you signed for everything so you have to order a different sofa." I told her I did not want something that did not complete the set. I asked to speak with the supervisor and being placed on a 30 minute hold. Someone said hello then I was transferred to a automated survey. After the survey, the call disconnected. I called back and I got another representative. I explained what happened and I asked to speak with a supervisor. After a 20 minute hold, she returned to say her supervisor said that there is nothing they could do once again. I asked to speak with the supervisor. After another 20 minute hold, she returned to say her supervisor told her she could handle the call AcceptanceNOW who financed part of my order. I then asked to speak with a manager only to be told that they are busy handling other consumer calls. I asked for her name. She said it was Candi and the supervisor was Samantha.
I asked for the mailing address. She told me to google it. I told her I would contact the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General if I could not speak with a supervisor. She placed me on hold. After another 20 minute hold, she told me she would transfer the call only to put me on a three way with AcceptanceNOW. I was told by the representative that I did not have to keep the piece that I did receive and the treatment that I received was unexplainable. She advised me to speak with customer service department where I purchased was made, which I did, and I was told that I did not have to keep the piece that I received and for a supervisor or manager not to handle the call is not proper protocol. And since they would not, I would have to travel all the way back to that location instead of going somewhere closer.
I then received a call from my sales rep who call customer care and cancelled the order that I was told I had to keep. With their ''Malicious Intentional Violation Of Company Policy", neither agent complied with "Company Policy" as "DEMANDED" due to their "Unclean Hands" and "Bad Faith". When this matter is finally resolved I will never step inside another BOB'S DISCOUNT FURNITURE STORE AGAIN.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due. After having a rather unpleasant experience with their delivery service, I had to call Bob's Furniture in King Of Prussia, Pa, to schedule service on their adjustable base that was never assembled by the delivery personnel. I actually had two very pleasant service technicians that showed up in the time frame given, explained what had to be done, and made sure that we were happy with their work and the product. I don't know their names, but we had an older gentleman, and a young man that appeared to be a trainee that was learning the business and they did a fantastic job!!!
Original Review: March 10, 2017
Ordered the Power Bob Plus Adjustable Base, and a king sized mattress, totaling $3,099. When discussing the purchase with the sales personnel, it was never mentioned that this base and mattress should not be placed onto an existing bed frame, or, that it had a separate frame that had to be assembled. The delivery guys show up, and place it on my old bed frame, and were out the door in minutes.
Before leaving, one driver says "What do you want to do with this?" Pointing to a pile of metal frames, wheels, nuts & bolts, etc. Not knowing what it actually was, I told them to just leave it there. Not one word was mentioned that this WAS part of the bed we had purchased. Called and complained to the King Of Prussia store in Pa, and no one really knew what I was talking about. I had to take numerous photos of the bed, and hardware, nuts & bolts before they understood what was going on. I'm amazed that couldn't just ask me to remove my bed frame. It would have taken about 3 minutes to remove it. TOTALLY unprofessional people!

I recently purchased a coffee table, end tables, and dresser. When the furniture was delivered, the delivery guys set it up in less than 15 minutes. As they were about to leave I asked to check the furniture for damage and unfortunately noticed the dresser they put together was defective. It had 2 different leg lengths. I was told it was the floor. We moved it into another room and realized it's not the floor. They said I would get a call from support by the end of the day to setup the exchange. That never happened. I called the next day and had to explain everything that happened since nothing was relayed.
A week later, on the day the dresser was to be delivered they showed up 4 hours early and no one was home. At this point I am getting frustrated with the lack of communication and customer service. I called to return the dresser and get a refund. I was told that once the furniture is delivered, defective or not, there are no refunds. My fault for not reading the fine print and will certainly not be making any purchases with Bob's ever again. You truly get what you pay for. You are better off saving a little more and going with a better quality piece of furniture.

I bought a sofa from Bob's and got the goof proof protection plan. My sofa start to crack and peeling. When I call Bob to report about it they giving me hard time saying that can't happen to the sofa as it a 100% leather so they did nothing. A few month later my sofa rip. I call the goof proof to file a claim. They said Bob have to take care of the leather peeling first before they do anything. I call back Bob's. They send someone out to look at the sofa. When they came nothing happen. I call, they saying that they can't do anything as the sofa is 100% leather. They don't want to change or exchange my sofa. They just rob people by telling them get warranty and goof proof is waste of money when they will not fix or replace so what can I do now? Someone help with some advice. Ask to speak with supervisor claim he is not around. What kind of company is this.

Bob's Discount Furniture IS a REAL NIGHTMARE, to say the least!! 5:29 AM - Phone robot said that they'd be at our place in LESS than a minute. After 15-minutes waiting in our freezing hallway, I went back into our apt & tracked delivery. Said that it was in transit, and that I was their FIRST stop. Tracked it again: Will be there between 6:00 am & 6:15 am. Tracked again: Will be there by 6:55 am. Tracked again: Will be there between 7:00 & 7:55 am. I called the corporate office and was LITERALLY on hold for 1/2 hour, waiting for a manager to pick up, with horrid piano music playing. The manager told me that there was NO problem with the truck, and that they might have pressed the button by accident, that they should be there in LESS than 1-minute, and what else could she help me with?? I totally lost it!!!! 5:29 am-7:30 am - On a Saturday NO less, waiting for a delivery and that's ALL she had to say?????
I told her that Bob's Furniture had left a REAL BAD taste in my mouth, and asked for corporate's phone number, and she said that she was from corporate. So I just hung up on her!!! LOUSY customer service!! I am REALLY concerned now, because I've purchased the 5-year Goof Proof + Plan and am scared that they will not honor it. I've just read a LOT of bad reviews about Bob's Furniture, & friends have also said they've had the same experience. Wish that I had known that, BEFORE I purchased the furniture!!!! A few days ago, we were thinking about purchasing a new bed from them - NOT happening NOW!!! Sales Associate: Karim emphasized on purchasing the 5-year Goof Proof + Plan. I am VERY concerned now.

Was there January 15, 2017. I purchase a bedroom and a living room. I got the delivery January 28. The living room was good... now the bedroom was broken. First they took two pieces and left the other in the box. Second time the two pieces was broken again. Third time the two pieces was good but when they did the boxes that they left there were broken too. It took about a month so I could get the bedroom good... oooh but between that I went and got another living room. The salesperson want to do the sale that he got me the pieces of the living room wrong. When I got it one piece had a manufacturer problem.
The second time it came the connection was not working. I try to change the two pieces for the other one so it could fit in my living room but they tell me that I have to purchase it. They could even change it for all the trouble I going thru. Oooh that me going to the store about 3-4 times and calling. They even said I was getting a gift card. I still waiting for it. So upset that when I'm done paying everything I will not shop there no more. Up today 3/04/17 still waiting for the fix of the living room and the gift card.

Scarborough, ME manager RJ needs people skills. Purchased a dining room set. When delivered there was a broken leg on a chair and a chunk of the pedestal had broken off. Someone glued and painted the issue. When my wife dusted the new purchase she found that the glue and paint were fresh. I couldn't believe it and both of us needed up with glued fingers with black paint. We went to the manager RJ and he was dismissive of our situation saying that the delivery had NOTHING to do with Bob's when the delivery truck was ladened with Bob's face and ads, we paid the store for delivery and the guys who delivered said they worked for Bob's. The manager RJ offered no help whatsoever. He never gave us direction, never called, etc.
If you decide to buy from Bob's be certain that you have rubber gloves to receive the merchandise. Remember that their philosophy is that you cannot return ANYTHING once they have your money. Sad company deal with.

I just fully furnished my home with Bob's furniture. I bought a lounge sofa with sleeper in September of 2016. Purchase Goof Proof plan for everything. In January of 2017, I notice the sleeper section is sinking in when sitting. Very uncomfortable. And one of the cushion is ripping apart from the seams. Mind you these product are barely 3-4 months old. Been trying to get Bob's technician to come out and look at. They schedule someone and never show up. Call Bob's back only for the customer rep Quote "I can't tell you what happen." Basically they have no reason why no one show up. Call back again 3 times was told "we are sorry" and set 2 new dates again. And again no one show up. Never receive a call for the time frame window. Bob's discount furniture is the worst and crappy product. They will literally take your money and give you the runarounds. I will seeking legal battle with them. It is unfair.

We purchased our mattress in March 2015. We opened the packaging when we brought it home and immediately smelled a terrible odor. We were told to let it air for a few days and we did, however, a few days turned into weeks. Before our 30 day window was up we called their customer service phone number and was told to open our windows. Well we did not, and as I explained to the customer service rep because we live in Maine and the temperature was 30 degrees. They gave us an extension on our return period, however, they did not agree to refund us or give us a new mattress. Now 11 months later we would like this factory defect to be taken care of. They sent out a technician who smokes and does not have a good sense of smell to come and check out the other. He did not smell anything and now they are refusing to remedy the situation. I would not recommend Bob's Discount Furniture to anyone!
UPDATED ON 05/20/2017: They don't disclose the delivery charges when you return mattresses. We had to return ours and when they delivered the new mattress, which is not better than the old mattress, they charged us another $50. Customer Care managers do not care enough to talk to customers directly, we are put on hold for extended periods of time and the customer service rep relays the message back to you.
The "office" personnel are no better. The people in Scarborough, Maine told me they could not give me a credit on my credit card unless I had the card with me and the Customer Care rep told me they could have given me a credit without my credit card. Bob's Discount Furniture store has terrible quality products and their customer service is non-existent.

When we called up to follow, the agent mentioned there are no comments and no pictures. What a pathetic service!!! Then they tell me that I have to take the pictures and follow some instructions so they could arrange for replacement. Not sure yet, if they are going to replace though!!!

I found a 3 piece sofa in the Discount room at Bob's in Yonkers NY. I was looking around, not quite ready to buy, until the sales lady "Robin" on her way to lunch, noticed me looking at this piece. She explained that it was a new piece which had just come from the warehouse, but was discontinued. Together we looked over every inch of the sofa and found it in perfect condition. She told me I had 24 hours to pick it up, as I wasn't prepared to purchase, so didn't have a truck. As we were filling out the paperwork, one of the warehouse guys came running with his "free ice cream" and jumped on the sofa. Robin told him that I was purchasing the piece, asked him to be more careful and perhaps go eat his ice cream elsewhere. He walked away, leaving a boot mark on the sofa.
I was able to fit 2 of the pieces into my car at that time, but went home worried about leaving the 3rd piece overnight. The warehouse was a junk yard, filled with damaged, busted furniture from floor to ceiling, leaving barely enough room to walk through. When I went to pick up the 3rd piece the next day, there was a scuff and a slit on the top of the cushion and a 3 inch slit in the front.
Customer Service told me that I had to deal with the Manager in the discount room, who looked at the piece and said that they could not fix it. Robin the sales lady (such a nice lady) told him that we had inspected every inch of that sofa and it was in perfect condition. He offered to discount the piece (not the whole sofa, the one piece that they damaged overnight... 1/3 of my sofa). I told him that I didn't want it. He then said that I could pick something else out if I bring back the other pieces of the one that I had purchased, but that I was responsible for driving 45 minutes back home, taking it apart, loading it in the car and bringing it back to the store. He refused to send a truck. He said the truck is only for customers that purchase new furniture.
Extremely poor customer service in my opinion! Regardless of how much you are paying (that sofa cost just as much as the furniture that was on the "New" floor that day, during the Presidents Day Sale), people work hard for their money. All furniture should be taken care of properly and they should have done everything in their power to make up for their mess. Shame on them! I am now without any furniture (as I went home the first night and tossed my old furniture) and so disappointed. I've since been told several times, that I am lucky and to count it as a blessing, as Bob's has terrible customer service and the furniture never holds up. Lesson learned... Never again!

I've had the worst experience with Bob's Furniture. I have a sofa set purchased from them that for some reason the frame is breaking. Literally bending backwards! I have the Goof Proof Plus Plan. I called and I made a claim. They send me a tech... Mind you I do not get called a day or 2 in advanced to know my time frame. So I'm showing the tech everything that is wrong. He himself states "The frame is broken. I'm going to send in a report." Almost a week goes by and I hear nothing.
So I call to get the rudest customer service rep ever! She tells me that the tech reported back that everything was fine. I explain to her what is the purpose of paying extra for a Goof Proof Plan if they are not going to help me. I told her the own tech stated it was broken. She gets nasty and says "If you let me finish..." I lost it. I am a customer service rep myself and that is not the way you speak to the customer and I made sure to tell her. I let her speak and she proceeded to say it was not a manufacturer issue. I need to file an incident report with Guardian. But the tech said that the materials they use for the furniture isn't of quality!
She told me "If you can think of an incident..." I stopped her before she could continue and told her "You want me to file a fake incident report for something that wasn't purposely done!"

I bought a dining room set, a living room set and 2 beds from Bob's in July of last year. I noticed a few months later that there was a few scratches on the dining room table, so I called to have someone come and take a look at it to see if maybe they could fix it. I was not looking for a replacement, just a quick fix. But because I didn't purchase their Goof plan, there was nothing they could do. I had the furniture less than 6 months. I paid a lot of money for the furniture and the fact that it was less than a year old and still it was extremely disappointing to me that there was nothing at all they could do.
I noticed a few weeks ago that there are rips in the cushions of the couch but I won't call them again as they were not very helpful to begin with and what's the point. If you are a big furniture company, shouldn't you at least take care of the people who buy from you? I won't be buying anything from there again. Next time I will bypass Bob's for a company that actually cares about their customers.

We purchased two full size couches, with the GOOF PROOF guarantee (because having ten grandchildren we felt we needed it). After a few weeks my two month old granddaughter spit up on it, we tried everything and the stain never came out. Then, after about six months the couch seat cushions started to lose their shape. We called Bob's, they sent a repairman. He came with foam, stuffed them, and it looked worse. Bottom line, had service man here three times. Last time he was here, he personally called Bob's customer service, told them the sofas needed to be replaced. Because they don't carry this brand anymore, they blatantly refused and would not honor the guarantee.

Never Shop at Bob's Discount Furniture. I purchased a 42" Glass Table/Chair set from Bob's Discount Furniture 11/30/2016. On 2/6/2017 I returned home to find glass shattered on the floor throughout the house. Immediately, I think there was a break-in. My televisions are there, clothes, furniture, etc. No windows broken. The ceiling fan where the table is located directly under did not fall. I continue looking for possible clues and I find absolutely nothing. I immediately call the GOOF PROOF+ PROTECTION but somehow was routed to the ACCIDENTAL STAINS & DAMAGES DEPARTMENT. While speaking with a representative after going through the phone prompts for 10 minutes, the representative proceeds to tell me that my issue is not covered under my plan and that given what I have informed them, there is nothing to surmise that there was any negligence on behalf of the manufacturer or whether this was considered as accidental damages.
The representative informed me that I need to speak with someone from the GOOF PROOF+ PROTECTION SERVICES DEPARTMENT. I reiterated my complaint and was put on hold for another 10 minutes while she "spoke with her supervisor." At this point no one can answer my questions as to what would cause a tempered glass table top to shatter like that - other than a manufacturer defect.
That assertion went unsolicited and the response given by the representative after "speaking with the supervisor" was that they needed to see pictures of the table to ascertain the nature of the damage. Well, your exculpatory evidence is shattered all throughout my kitchen, living and dining rooms -I retorted, to which her response was, "well, we still need to see the pictures just to make sure." Make sure of what - I paid for a protection plan which you are telling me in so many words that you plan not to honor. The chairs and table frame were damaged due to the glass shattering.
If I could I would return the other furniture I purchased from them and buy completely new furniture from a more reputable and trustworthy company. What if I were at home sitting at the table when this occurred - I would have sustained severe injuries. What if I were entertaining family or guests - now its multiple injuries and subsequent lawsuits. The line of questioning was interrogative to the point where it made me feel as though I was trying to scam them. I want them to honor their warranty or I will seek legal action.

We purchased our first mattress in 2011. Within months it started to sag badly. Bob's came out, found it to be defective and gave us a credit to pick out another mattress. Second mattress failed within a year. Bob's came out and found it defective as well. We got another store credit and purchased the Bob O Pedic Gel, paying the difference just hoping for a better quality mattress.
Once again within a year we started to feel like we were in a hole and Bob's came out and measured the sag and told us the sag was only a 1/4 inch and needed to be 1 inch sag for the manufacturer to replace it. After talking to a manager explaining we're tired of sleeping on this mattress with a sag he said we had to wait 60 days to have another tech to come out. We waited and he came out, measured it again and it was now 1/2 inch and we were told there was nothing they can do.
This mattress has memory foam. So of course it's hard to "see" the sag because the mattress just pops back up when you get up. We called again asking for a manager that never called us back. We gave up and now a year later my wife has to pull herself up out of bed by the headboard and has a backache every day, all day long. We called customer care and the tech came out, measured and it's now an inch sag and now they tell us it's got to be an inch and a half!!! You can imagine how angry we are at this point and keep in mind the mattress has a 20 year warranty on it. When you look at our bed you can visually see the mattress sags in the middle and they told me that the tech wrote that there wasn't a defect in the mattress but he had told us something totally different.
We argued the fact with them and the pictures that we're taking and that the tech only took one measurement and that was in the middle of the bed, not even at the end where you can visually see it sag. After arguing with them and not getting anywhere they said they would have Supervisor Dan call us in the morning. Well just like last time nobody called so I called them back. They of course hung up on me and I called back. I wasn't giving up this time. My wife's back is worse and the mattress is only a couple of years old.
Finally after pleading my case that obviously over the past year or so that the sag went from 1/4" to 1" sag that there was clearly a defect in the product. Yes I should just go buy a mattress from a different store but we don't have the funds to do so and why should we. They should stand behind their product and warranties. Finally after all that they gave us a credit so we will try this again but future reference to anyone buying a mattress from Bob's... DON'T!!!

Had to fight with Guardian Goof Proof customer service who tried to assume that I damaged my sofa I bought in late 2012. The sofa was rarely sat on, since I never have guests over, and my family and I are in our bedrooms. After many bouts with them, they replaced my sofa and loveseat stating the bonded leather was recalled. A month after that, I called in a claim for the damage my child did to the table with nail polish and acetone nail polish remover. After sending them the new photos as they instructed, they tried to imply that the damage appeared to have existed longer than what I told them. I sent emails to their corporate office in Connecticut. Finally I won my Goof Proof claim. So today, they deliver my new replacement table, only to find there's 5 groups of 20 something holes in the table. They will be replacing it next week. BUYER BEWARE! NEVER BUY FURNITURE FROM BOB'S DISCOUNT FURNITURE!

Two years ago I purchased a couch and love seat and the leather started to peel. I called Bob's and was told they have had problems with that couch and to come in and they would replace it. I purchased a leather love seat and couch costing me more than the original couch from Bob's in Nov 2016. When they delivered the furniture the arms didn't match and had a 2 inch gap The love seat bracket couldn't connect on the bottom. They schedule to replace both pieces. I took off from work in Dec and they came back and replaced only the love seat. So taking off again 2 weeks later they came back and replaced the couch.
I called Bob's and told them that the cushion on the couch was sagging. Made another appointment Jan 2017 and the service men came and he claims that the couch was soft, and store would be in touch with us. We called the store and was told the manager would get back to us. After many phone calls the manager said that the service man found nothing wrong with the couch. We purchased the goof proof and I was told if it gets worst to call back.

Bob's delivery people showed up at the specified time. But could not deliver my full size bed due to a size problem with the apartment entry door opening. Trying to call a human to resolve the problem is impossible. If you do get to talk to a human they cannot help you and will transfer you to someone else that cannot help (of course don't forget you are put on hold each time for 5-10 minutes). Try leaving a message for a call back when prompted will leave you with no problem resolution; they don't call back. I just wanted to change my order to a smaller size bed that can be delivered.

Purchased a couch and loveseat from Bob's about two years ago, and purchased their additional warranty. Attempted to put a claim in for an accidental tear which is stated to be covered but because I didn't know the exact date of the incident they would not grant the repair. The best that they could do was offer me a refund of the remainder of the warranty. Not even any type of recommendation on what can be done to repair it. Their answer was that "We'll just refund you the remainder of the warranty," which to me insinuates that they anticipate more additional problems with the product that I had purchased.
The couch is two years old. The seams are separating, the arm is broken, and all the pillows and batting had to be replaced at my own cost. In addition to when they deliver the couch originally they broke it as they were coming through my front door. They were gracious enough to replace it, however they would only issue me a store credit for the difference. The difference was only about $30 but what are you purchasing at Bob's discount furniture for $30? Just applied to try to have you spend more money in the store. The quality that they advertise is below grade and I would never recommend any purchase from them again. I have purchased the couches many times in my past and have never been so disappointed by the quality. I will never recommend Bob's Discount Furniture.

This is in reference to Wharton, NJ store. The salesperson sold us a mattress and power box springs. They were not compatible and the box springs were not synchronized. Took weeks to get them synchronized and when done, the mattress did not bend when head or legs were raised. He insisted on sending us an identical replacement mattress. Same problem. We called him. He told us to call customer service. Called their customer service. They refused to replace the powered box springs because of their "policy." They offered to change to a different mattress and to connect me to a salesperson. After a long wait, they informed us that someone will call us back. Did not happen.

I purchased furniture from Bob's Discount Store in Calumet City IL. On the delivery day (Friday) several pieces were damaged. The delivery agent called customer service to report the issue, (4 damaged dining chairs, a glue stained dresser, and a broken foot board). The customer service rep. told me I basically had two options. Either send the broken items back with delivery crew. Or accept them and they would do an exchange, on the next available delivery day (Tuesday).
So I ask the customer rep. if Saturday was available for delivery, she said no. I explained to her that I was moving in the next day, and that since the foot board was damaged that I would not have a bed to sleep in. She again stated that I could accept the damaged pieces and a repair technician would come out for the exchange... "Why are you sending out a repair technician for an exchange?" I asked, she stated, "To fix the damaged items." Why would I accept damaged/repaired furniture. When it was purchased as new. So now you're trying to pull a fast one on me. Now I'm really upset, I asked to speak to her manager. And of course management isn't available. Wait a minute I'm on the phone with customer service rep at the corporate office but no one is available? Right! She claim that someone from corporate would contact me. At the time of this review, I still have yet to be contacted.
So I give the phone back to the delivery agent. Because clearly the rep doesn't care about this dilemma. So I call my sales rep India ** from the store I purchased the furniture from. She couldn't believe it, she contacted her supervisor Kristin. Who both worked to help resolve this issue. I went into the store about 2-3 hours after I called them. When I got into the store they were still working to resolve the issue. They refunded my delivery fee, and I settled on a 2 day delivery. Foot board 1st so I could have a bed to sleep in. And the remaining pieces on a separate day. I received a call from India later that night saying that, they could not get the foot board on the delivery truck for the next day. However Leon the store manager would personally go to the warehouse, pick up the Foot board and delivery it to my house in his personal vehicle.
Not only did he deliver the Foot board he also assembled the bed. Bob's Discount Furniture Store on Torrence in Calumet City, IL. I applaud the staff in that store. Because they clearly care about their customers! However Bob's corporate doesn't give a Damn!! If you shop at Bob's go the Calumet City store, they get things done and Will work with you.

I had this sofa delivered for the second time in December 2016. The 2 piece sectional clearly did not match. They were 2 different shades of brown. The first delivery guy noticed it and called customer svc for me to have a new one delivered. The second delivery guy noticed it too and said to go to the store and pick something else out. When I went to the Nesconset NY store all they did was put me on the phone with customers svc. I was advised that they will not deliver another one. Nor would it be ok to pick another sofa out. They made me respond to them with pictures. The email said they would respond to me on 24 hours.
After NO response, I called. After an hour on the phone, mostly on hold and after speaking to several "supervisors" I was told that there was nothing they could do for me. Nothing. They said they have no control over the dye lots and it's natural. I am stunned. Who would spend $1000.00 for a mismatched sofa in their home. This is a physical defect and I should be able to return it or at the very least be offered a discount. Might I mention this was all done within 30 days of it being delivered. I will NEVER purchase another item from this store nor recommend anyone go there. I am so disappointed.

The loveseat has the same issue but they said it was okay when they came to look at both couches. I am now going to pay to have cushions made and replace Bob's cushions with their custom springs. I have the 5 year replacement plan but obviously it is not worth it because the product is faulty. And the glass on my coffee table had to be replace the first week because it was not cut to fit correctly the first time. The price is cheap but there is a reason for that, the quality of the furniture is poor.

I purchased a leather furniture set a little over a year ago. I paid for the extra insurance in case of accidental damage. I paid $5000.00 for the set. Here I am 13 months later and my "real leather" set is peeling and discoloring. I was told it was wear and that is not covered unless it's a manufacture defect. I have had other leather sets for 10 years and they never peeled like this even 10 years later (still have it and is used more frequently than my "new" set). I would think that it is a manufactured defect because real leather is not suppose to peel!! So I asked why do I pay insurance then. The reply was if you had an accident it would be covered through another branch of the insurance I purchased. I called the other sector "guardian". I again explained the defect and told them (for the purpose of, if anything else, getting the coverage I pay for), I may have spilled some hot oil on it. The reply was, "We don't cover any peeling or cracking due to hot oil."
I said really, it actually states that as a stipulation? At this point it sounded as if anything I could've said would be referred to as a stipulation in the insurance coverage. I asked then what actually would be covered? They should list things they do cover rather than the long list of things they don't and not mislead their customers when purchasing this useless insurance. Bottom line, they don't cover any peeling whatsoever or cracking of their "real leather" – maybe not so real leather, couches. I would be curious to see if it is in fact real leather. I have never seen real leather that peeled after a year. Bad quality, bad service and very misleading to customers when it comes to purchasing their useless insurance!

When you buy from a company like Bob's, you realize that you are buying a lower quality product than you might buy from a higher-end retailer, but you assume that you are getting "good enough" and that there is value. What you also assume is that a customer-centric philosophy is simple enough even for a discount retailer to instill in their employees. THAT, is NOT the case with Bob's. Bob's will gladly take your money for "goof proof" but when it comes time to make a claim, you get put into an endless loop between "Guardian" (the 3rd party insurer who handles the claims) and Bob's (the retailer who gladly took your money for said coverage).
Today, after speaking with "Amber" at Bob's Customer Care who told me that the issue I was having could only be resolved by Guardian, and that I needed to call them and that she couldn't give me any further information because she had no access to it, I asked to speak with a supervisor. Amber was reluctant to get a supervisor on the line at first; "there's nothing more that my supervisor will be able to do for you sir" but I persisted. I spoke with "Angela" who identified herself as a Customer Service Supervisor and gave me roughly the same story. Again I persisted, attempting to impress on Angela the insanity of the endless loop, and the less than customer friendly experience of a more than 4 month wait for satisfaction. I asked for Angela's supervisor. She told me that she was the "highest ranking supervisor available today" but again I persisted.
While I didn't get that supervisor, Angela did agree to call Guardian--I could not because after going through all of their telephone prompts, Guardian's automated system told me that they were having "technical difficulties and couldn't take my call" but I could "try again later." In any event, Angela finally agreed to call Guardian on my behalf and would call me back. I got that call back and got the same story I got 3 months ago. Somehow the part had never been ordered by Guardian (despite a letter in my possession to the contrary FROM Guardian) but she'd taken care of it, and the part would arrive at my home IN MID-FEBRUARY.
For the record that is ALMOST 6 MONTHS from the first call about this claim--and I fully expect that 8 weeks from now I will be calling again to ask where the part is, and I will get the same BS story. Bottom line, even if the issue is finally resolved, it would not have been without my "persistence" and that shouldn't be the case. Bob's is the epitome of a retailer who just doesn't follow through once the sale is made.

A few days before the furniture was due to arrive is when we questioned if it would fit. We called the store and asked to speak to Robbie but were told he would not be in the store until the day after the delivery. We left a message with our concerns about the stairway anyways in the hopes that it would reach Robbie in time.
On the day of the delivery, the movers confirmed that it would not fit. We asked them to leave the furniture so we could cut part of our stairway ceiling in the hopes of getting it through. After paying a contractor to do that, we still couldn't get it to fit. We tried reaching Robbie, but he was again unavailable (and never responded to our previous call). We then contacted customer service and were told that we could get a store credit and apply it towards another sectional that could possibly fit. We opted to go with our initial choice, the Playpen. Which was smaller.
We waited 5 days for the delivery of the Playpen (with the 2 pieces of the Libre II standing in our Dining Room). We were told that delivery would be between 11 am - 3 pm. Throughout the day, we received several texts that delivery would be delayed. Meanwhile, my wife had taken the day off in order to receive them. Somehow, we became the last delivery that day and the movers arrived at 10 pm.
When they arrived, we asked them to be as quiet as possible because our 8 month old daughter was sleeping. With no consideration for our daughter sleeping they proceeded to carry out loud speakerphone conversations which woke up her up. They then made a few attempts to move the furniture but in my opinion weren't trying hard enough because they were tired and just wanted to go home being that we were their last delivery.
When it wouldn't fit, we told them to return both sectionals and then called customer service requesting a refund. We did receive a refund (minus our $200 delivery fee) but the wasted time, aggravation and lack of communication we went through was so horrible, we felt compelled to make others aware of our experience. Lastly, we never did receive a call from Robbie after our first and only visit with him at the store.
It's obvious now that all he cared about was receiving a commission and had no interest in making sure our family was happy with our purchase or product. We ultimately purchased an easier fitting sectional from homereserve.com with more seating and better stain protection for $100 more than we paid for the Libre II. Sometimes things happen for a reason.

A couch with pull out bed, corner piece is a recliner, and the end is a loveseat. All one set. Armchair has phone hook up and the loveseat has a recliner also. Gave us 6 large matching pillows with the set, and delivered on time. Friendly, helpful and well informed staff. Great atmosphere, lots of furniture to choose from of high quality with a good price. I have been a repeat customer for over 20 years because of these reasons. Highly recommend this store.
The fact that I am disabled and have a hard time going shopping makes this experience a special one. It's not just the parking, the elevators, or easy way to maneuver in the aisles. It's the little things, like a free coffee shop when you're tired, or the candy for the kids. It's the attention to the small details that make you feel like "come on in, make yourself at home". You would want to purchase their furniture to put in your own home. Great sales staff, and the coffee shop, candy shop is a big hit in making people feel comfortable and at ease.

I would never buy from Bob's Discount Furniture if it was the last resort! These people are nothing but scam artist that sucker you into getting their protection plan and then don't stand by their words and give you a runaround saying you need to contact all these different places in order to get your problem solved. My husband and I only had our furniture for about a year and as you see in the pictures below it is cracking and spitting at the joints. Called Bob's main headquarters to resolve our problem and have either our furniture fixed or replace. They gave us the runaround by saying that they couldn't do anything for us and we had to contact Guardian Protection to handle it. When we called them they also said the same exact words to us that nothing can be done and that it was for Bob's furniture store to fix the problem!
We even had their technician come to the house to take the pictures of our furniture that was damaged and sent to the headquarters to ensure that we were going to get a brand-new bed set. The technician himself even said it was beyond damaged to the point it could not be fixed!! So to sum everything up we have a protection plan that we paid for at the price of $200 that is absolutely good for nothing and we have to stay and live with garage!!! So if you want to waste your money this is the place to go!!!

I spent 5963.00 on furniture from Bob's. The boomerang table in the kitchen began to warp and chip off one of the sides. I did purchase the goof proof plan. I called Bob's and a technician was sent to look at the table. After 2 days went by, I called and to no surprise, they said it wasn't a manufacture defect. I was told on that call to wait 30 days to "appeal" that decision and another technician would be sent out. I waited and called. But of course I could not use the foolproof warranty because you had it make a claim WITHIN 30 days of the tech denying. I was told to send pictures but again was told that the decision was final, no manufacture defect.
Bob's Furniture is junk, he is so crooked. His commercials claim CUSTOMER LOYALTY. I will NEVER buy another thing from that store again. With this type of quality and the way he treats his customers he'll be out of business in a couple of years. I hope to fall upon a class action lawsuit in the future for his poor quality furniture and service.

I ordered a bunk bed for my kids A MONTH ago. They delivered and partially set it up 10 days later. In addition to the men doing a terrible job putting the bed together (some screws were flush with the wood, some were still sticking out and some they screwed way too far into the wood) the box for the bunk bed stairs was missing the hardware so they had to contact Customer Care. (Why they don't keep extra screws in their huge trucks is beyond me) They said they had to order the hardware and it would be delivered in 5-7 business days. Seven days later, nothing. So I called and they said there was a mix-up with the order and had to re-order. Another 5-7 days (at this point they should have been over-nighted, in my opinion).
Five days later they finally arrived. Called to set up service and scheduled for the 29th (21 days after the original delivery!!!). Waited around all morning and no one showed up. Called back and was told the service had been cancelled because they requested the wrong service because it had to be a two-person job. They didn't even think to call me to let me know it was canceled. I told them that they better be here the next day or else I wanted to return the bed for a full refund. I was told that since the bed had already been in my home, they wouldn't be able to do that. They put in an add-on request for the next day which was denied. Called the next day and a rep suggested doing a Quality of Life form for same-day service since my son was actually risking injury every time he had to climb up and down the side of the bed. I was told later that no trucks were in the area so it wasn't going to happen.
To say I am frustrated is a huge understatement. Along with the clear incompetence of each customer care rep I spoke to were all these empty "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" lines that I got so sick of hearing. There was no sense of urgency to resolve the issue or make sure I was prioritized. The bed itself is not great (you can see the underside of the top mattress because it's only slats holding up the bed. But the issue could have been dealt with so much better on so many different occasions. Finally an entire month after placing the order, they are refunding my money and coming to pick up the bed. I don't even want to look at it anymore. But they only decided to do it after I said I had filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I will NEVER use this store again.

As noted by almost every review here, Bob's runs a scam called "Goof Proof Protection." My wife and I purchased the 5-year plan for our dining room table in 2012. When the frame of my chair broke after I sat down to eat dinner, they gave me the runaround, had me call Guardian, who actually manages the policy, and then denied my claim because "it wasn't an accident." After I sat on hold for an hour, a supervisor rudely told me that "sitting down" isn't an accident, and rudely hung up on me. If sitting down and the chair breaking isn't an accident, then what is? These people are stupid, rude, and don't want to do their jobs. Looks like I'll have to get a lawyer involved.

I had a day bed for 3 years and I sat on it when it fell in. All 132 pounds of me caused this weak furniture to cave in and the foundation on the inside of the day bed crumbled. I noticed the bed was warping and that could have contributed. Also, the tech that came out says the people who put the bed together might have not put it together right. How was I supposed to know that. I called them and the technician they sent out stated this was not manufacturer defect so they will do nothing.
And Goof Proof is a shame. They will not cover it either. I now finished 2 hours of fighting with the customer service whom finally said she will send or email me a dispute and I could send pictures. They said there is nothing they could do and I am on my own. Now I need to figure out what to do. And on top of this I already bought a new bed and had it delivered. I am supposed to have 30 days to test it. Well they gave us a full platform with a queen mattress. I guess the tech stated that is normal as well so again they will not help me.

Email delivery advisory system said 11/17/16 delivery was set for 2 pm till 4 pm. Delivery came in at 3 pm and was satisfactory. 11/21/16 mattress delivery set for 2 pm till 4 pm. Rather than sleep on floor Sunday night our son opted to drive from New York to Waltham on Monday morning. A 3-4 hour trip. At approx 10 am we received a delivery text notifying us that the delivery is set for 12 pm till 2 pm. Then the next advisory changed the time to 11 am till 12 pm. No way were we able to drive to Waltham in that time frame.
Needless to say there was no one to accept delivery and the date was changed to the following Friday after Thanksgiving. When we contacted the Brookfield store we were told by the manager Lenny that delivery time is not guaranteed. No compensation by Bob's is allowed for delivery problems. Our son's holiday weekend has been disrupted, not to mention he is forced to sleep on the floor again. We feel Bob's attitude of not being responsible for their delivery procedures, nor reaching out to compensate their customers for any and all inconveniences is appalling. All TV ads show Bob's as a customer friendly company. That is definitely not the case. Bob's company is only for Bob and not for the customer or any good relationships.

Here we are six months later with the same problem and now the lead time is 5 1/2 months to receive replacement cushions and they refuse to do it even exchange not to mention the loose arms on the couches.

Don't ever buy any furniture from Bob's Discount Furniture. Their website is mybobs.com. Our family purchased furniture through a store called Wayside furniture twenty years ago, it's still in very good condition and the quality of what they sold us is excellent. Bob's Discount Furniture really should be called Bob's Dilapidated Furniture that has been discontinued. The quality of their furniture is crappy regardless of how much money you spend. Their commercials are inspiring and you think the quality of their furniture is as good as those commercials state. Bob's Discount Furniture is insensitive to their customer base. They just want your money, will sell you crappy furniture that can't be repaired and they refuse to replace. Whoever heard of getting less than ten years out of furniture with two adults and no children.
We had a recliner go bad a few years ago and now a reclining loveseat. All part of the same set. How can a spring just pop and go through the cushion. Bob's was concerned enough to send out a technician and confirm the pieces were damaged and it all ended right there. I was already aware that my warranty had expired and they weren't even willing to negotiate. The response from customer service was "we're sorry." That doesn't resolve the problem. I truly believe that you get what you pay for except in this case. How can two separate pieces of furniture from a three piece set deteriorate so fast with no explanation. I will continue to be a pain in Bob's Dilapidated Furniture's side until they correct the problem with my furniture.

While purchasing the recliner I have a warranty and I bought the Goof Proof kit. I called the Bob's customer care and they redirected me to Goof Proof. I had to file a claim and send pictures of the damage done to the recliner. They said they would process the claim filing in about a couple of days and get back to me. They contacted me a few days later saying that they couldn't file a claim where they would fix or replace the chair saying the damage was done over a period of time and saying that they only cover damages done all at once.
I called them many times saying that it was impossible and that there must be some way to dispute this claim to see if they can re-review the pictures of the damages. I had to write a letter to Goof Proof and I never got a response to the letter in about 2-3 months. Later I called and asked why there was no response and they literally told me the exact same reason why they could not do anything to the damages stating that they only fix or replace products with damages that's been done all at once and that the pictures I sent had damages done over a period of time. If that is the case then honestly what was the point of having a warranty and Goof Proof kit enlisted when purchasing the leather chair/recliner.
What crap service they've provided. Goof Proof may be associated to Bob's but definitely not the same. Bob's literally did nothing and only gave me the number to customer care; called customer care and then they gave me the number to Goof Proof; called Goof Proof and they did not do anything to help me at all.

His response to me was "the frame is not broke. Nothing we can do. I work for Bob's but they do not build good quality stuff." My suggestion to you is go to home depot, buy a few 2x4"s and reinforce the frame. As far as the cushion they will send you new ones. Well 7 months later and 15-20 phones I receive one cushion.

They ask her a few questions - the size of the damage and what happen. She said "I do not know." "Oh that is Bob's defect warranty". So neither Bob's 1 year defect warranty nor the goof proof warranty is honoring this. This is going on right now. Calling the manager where she purchased the set. He is not getting on the phone.

My husband and I have struggled to find couches that we both liked, so we were thrilled that we found some at Bob's. They're just what we were looking for. The service we got, however, sucked. We paid a $99 delivery fee only to have the delivery guys essentially give up and leave one couch sitting in the yard in the rain. My husband was trying to help them guide it into the house by telling them to tip it, and they told him they "weren't allowed" to tilt a couch to get it in the house because they were contractors and if it broke they'd be held liable. What couch ever fits through a door without having to be tilted? It wasn't even like it was a difficult stairway or anything, it's a straight shot once you get it through the door. We had them put it on the back porch to get it out of the rain, but now we have to put it where it goes ourselves and we're out $99.
So if you plan to get furniture there I'd say skip the delivery and get a truck and a friend and do it yourself. I doubt if they'll refund our $99 delivery fee because they technically brought it to the house. Seeing other reviews on here about furniture not lasting makes me a little leery, hopefully the couches hold up. I'll be very upset if they don't, the couches are just beautiful and we couldn't find anything like them anywhere else.

This is the worst company ever... in the universe! When you are at the store, the salesmen are very respectful and nice. Of course, because they want you to purchase their furniture. However, they won't mention any recalls the furniture might have or issues with it. Anyway, when they delivered the bunk bed that my husband and I picked out, the delivery guys assembled it incorrectly or too rough and cracked the wood. My mother was here when they did it and her vision isn't great, so she didn't notice. And they didn't SAY ANYTHING!
When I arrive home, I see it immediately and called the store. They said they would replace it. Fine, great, no problems. When get another one, and it is being delivered, the delivery guys arrive at my house at 6 AM!!! Without ever having called to give me a window. But, I let them in. As soon as he sees that he has to disassemble the first disaster they left and build the new one he brought, he says, "this won't fit, that's why it broke. You should return it and not build this one either." So I, thinking he's honest and has a point, agree but also because the new bed ALSO BROKE!
At this point, I'm thinking I want a different bed. Unfortunately, they do not carry any other bunk bed that is a twin over twin. That is not my fault, so I ask for a refund. The salesperson on the phone laughed! Actually LAUGHED at me! And said that there is no way I would receive a refund and that I had to choose another bed or get store credit. I don't want store credit... I don't want anything from them!!!
After looking through possible beds because now we have no choice, we choose another one... a Twin over Full. When they go to do the transaction, they want me to pay the difference and a new delivery charge and repair charge when THEY WERE THE ONES WHO BROKE THE BED! I refuse and create a scene at the store. It is only because of this that they waive the fee. At the end, I had to go with a different bed, and it was delivered from a different team (because the first set of delivery guys were rude and wanted to just put it together fast without consideration of the furniture). All in all, the WORST experience I have ever had with a furniture company. I will NEVER be ordering from them again.

You would have been covered if you had ripped it, or spilled paint on it, or any other careless accident, but because all I did was sit on it, I'm not covered. We spent our hard earned money on their furniture and they ripped us off. Shame on them.

Worst customer service ever. They lie to you about everything over the phone. The delivery guys are horrible. They say, "Will be there in ten minutes" and they come in a hour 1/2 after they call you and on top of it all that they bring you damage good. They offer no compensation for anything. Once they have your money they don't care.

I purchased a brown leather section from Bob's about 2 1/2 years ago. I may sit on the couches once or twice a week if that due to my busy schedule. The leather is starting to crack and peel all over the couches. I call to find out if there was anything they could do and they basically told me that nothing could be done. I will never purchase furniture from Bob's again.

I ordered a sofa and chair from Bob's Discount Furniture in Woodbridge, NJ. Both pieces were defective upon the first delivery, so I contacted customer service to request two new pieces. The second delivery came one week later and both pieces were again defective. I contacted customer service to inform them that I wanted to return the furniture for a full credit, at which time they informed me that I could only receive store credit as I "accepted the pieces into my home". I informed customer service that the delivery men refused to take back the furniture because their truck was full and did not have the room. After some difficulty, customer service finally agreed to refund my money. When I asked about refunding the money I spent on the protection plan and delivery, they agreed to refund the protection plan, but not the delivery.
After 45 minutes on the phone with customer service, I informed them that my credit card would not pay them for any of the furniture I ordered until I received my delivery fee. They responded by saying that was fine. We scheduled the pickup for 10/15/16 and they did not show. I waited at home all day on 10/15/16. I have contacted the person assigned to my case 6 times and left 4 messages to confirm the pickup; I still have not spoken with her.

On my second set of a sofa loveseat combo. Purchased GOOF PROOF ext warranty. Arm on sofa peeled. Warranty told me no coverage as defect. That was 5 years ago. Bobs, after going thru BBB, gave new set. Was 2 years old. I purchased 5000.00 of furniture. They, at the time, did right thing. Now the same is happening. Had a repair company to repair and they said, "Cheap leather. Never will last long". Now same issue. Want any consumer to avoid BOB'S. Scam artists and sell inferior products. Will not take normal wear and tear. Sweat on leather should be no issue. On his furniture, will crack and peel. Cannot be repaired. BUYER BEWARE. ADS ON TV A SCAM.

My experience with Bob's furniture was horrible. I purchased set of two couches from them made from bonded leather. The salesman guaranteed that this material doesn't peel off or crack but if something like this will happen you have a one year warranty and goof proof warranty so your furniture will be fixed or replaced. One month later the material started to peeling off. I called them. They told me nothing can be done, this is normal wear and tear. What??? One month, couch barely used and the guy is telling me this is normal. This is BS, the worst furniture store ever. Never buy from them!!! I have lost $1400 on furniture that looks like old after one month.

Looked at a dozen chairs. Chose one. Added Goof Proof. Scheduled delivery. Paid on credit card. All good, right? What a FIASCO. Got pre-delivery call from a guy who was LOST. Tried to give him directions, we are 6 miles from the store. He doesn't speak any English is all he could say. He was gruff and hung up. What an idiot. NO BRAND LOYALTY AT ALL. Turns out, he DELIVERED CHAIR TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ADDRESS. Took it off the truck in the rain, no less and left it for over an hour. Don't have to speak English to know that's just stupid.
Invoice info obviously wrong. In fact, my name was incorrectly spelled, my address was completely wrong, zip code not even close. Called store, our salesman had cust service call us asap. Meanwhile, Manager from store called us at our request. He updated the contact information and I asked for a confirmation email. Got it, still wrong. Repeated call to manager, updated again. CUST SERVICE called. They actually TOLD ME IT WAS DELIVERED TO WRONG ADDRESS AND LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN. ARE YOU KIDDING?
Told them don't DARE give me that chair. I told them they were not going to charge for delivery at all. Manager agreed to this, by the way, and said he noted the account as such. They rescheduled again. 4 days later. Delivered today. No Goof Proof, name incorrectly spelled. Anyone graduate high school in this company? Inspected chair, seemed ok. Solo, decided to check out reviews online re Goof Proof. Sure wish I'd read all this before stepping into the store. It's not an Ashley but it's ok. It'll last a while, so far anyway. I'm going to refuse the Goof Proof based on the reviews, why waste the money if they are always duping other people? I'll save the $70. Never go again.

I purchased a sofa and along with that their goof proof protection. It was nice before I pay money. But when I put a request for service they started drama. They fabricated a story that they already came to my house and couldn't locate me. In fact I was waiting for them for long 3 hours and nobody showed up. When I called them back to ask what happened, they are asking money to reschedule the appointment. They used very rough words nobody will expect in such a situation. Still my sofa is not serviced and not able to use. My sincere recommendation is avoid Bob's furniture. It's cheating. I am writing this with big dissatisfaction and disappointment.

We purchased a queen size bed with all the warranties. Within a year, the legs had fallen off the bed. This is because they are shoddily made, with no crossbeam support, and slide around on wood floors. Bob's repair men came out to look at it and agreed that, if they reattached the legs, they would just fall off again within a couple of weeks. They also agreed that we needed metal slats to avoid this problem. Yet when we called to follow up, we were first informed that we would have to pay for metal slats, and then that they were not available at all. This represents an extremely poor commitment to customer satisfaction and reflects the poor quality of their products.

Delivery truck arrived, questioned where to park at which time the moving company I hired was leaving and the mover suggested to unload the pieces and take his parking spot at the end of the corner. That did not happen and my daughter and I never saw them again. They just drove away.
My daughter made several phone calls to customer care and told the representatives on all occasions (4 different people in 4.5 hours) what took place, that parking in Boston is tight to begin with and the drivers just drove off. Was told that the driver went onto the other scheduled deliveries for the day and would come back after the 13th delivery of the day. By this time it's getting late and on the 4th call into customer care my daughter in now told that the deliveries are done for the day and that they MIGHT be able to delivery her bed on TUESDAY, October 4th. Was told there are no deliveries on SUNDAY or MONDAY. Mind you the delivery truck came at 12:30, spoke to 4 different representatives, got hung up on and there was nothing they could do because the men were done for the day until Tuesday.
My daughter didn't have a bed to sleep on, just moved into an unfurnished apartment with 2 other friends and I think we were both just shocked on the entire experience. Shortly after being told the bed wasn't going to be delivered until Tuesday, I then had to purchase an air mattress for the meantime. Today is Tuesday, October 4th and I drove from Rhode Island to Boston for a morning delivery that happened. This delivery team had a parking permit, brought the set in, assembled it and were gone within a 1/2 hour. In my future I will not be visiting or giving this company any of my business and have passed this story onto my friends and family.

This chair was only a few months old when we reported the problem to the store. I called on 9/30/16 and after a runaround on the phone I finally got a person on the phone. Upon checking the order she said the part was not in the warehouse and would not be in until January 8, 2017. I asked if we could have another chair and was told OH NO, we have to wait for the part to come in. Four months for a part, that is just crazy.

I order the Copley Bedroom set. It's a king sleigh bed, headboard and footboard, chest of drawers and two night stands. I placed the order on 9/1/16. I went in knowing what I wanted placed the order and paid upfront and had it deliver with "breakfast with Bob's". I was excited due to I haven't move yet in and the place was empty so no problems with room. The delivery came on 9/8 and they kept me up to date with when they would be at my place. So far so good, at least I thought. I didn't notices the huge hole they put in my ceiling til l moved in knowing that was not there two weeks prior. The delivery men came and they bought in the queen size frame. I said "No that's not correct it's a king frame." The delivery man apologized and got the correct frame for the bed.
I was so upset.
I went to work and then went to the store, spoke to the saleslady who took care of me, very nice and was very apologetic but this is when it turn far worse. I had to exchange all seven pieces and I was told it would have to be the last one of the day due to the swap out. I was not happy about it but understood there was nothing I could do. I get a phone call a few days later telling me it's now on back order, but not "We're sorry" - nothing. The only reason why I found out is because a whole week went but with no response to my many attempts to customer services.
So finally I get a date and I had plans but made arrangements to be here. Then the bedroom set came in worse than the last. My bed is lopsided and every piece again has scratches again and the headboard looks like someone smash it with a hammer and then just stained it. I again call the store told them what happened, Carl the manger said "Come in on Sunday and will make it right." It's been delivered two times, this is going to be #3 come 9/30/16. I am so upset and disappointed by how they don't care about the customer but about only the money. I also know and understand it's dark furniture and yes there will be a few things but seriously two times and it's the same problem. I have looked at other furniture at other places, and yes they have simpler bedroom sets. It's this one I want and like.
It's not about the money truly it's about the product, how I was treated and the fact it's still not right and I have to waste more time on them. However I wonder if I paid with a finance instead of out right would it be different. I want it perfect and they have made the mistake not me. I want it fixed period. I have contacted social media and plan to put in a formal complaint. I am almost ready to say "No I'm done". I will see on 9/30/16 if it's right or wrong. Also may I mention the first set didn't make any noise from getting in and out of bed, the night stands sat right instead. Now they wobble - same with dresser. I am so exhausted with this company I wanna tell them somewhere to go. I will update this as soon as the 3rd set comes. I don't think I will EVER order from Bob's again. No class act there, and the lack of customer care just disappointing and disrespectful. Wish me luck!! Sadly disappointed.

I cannot even begin to describe what a nightmare dealing with this company has been. I purchased a bed on August 22nd, and later that day an associate called to schedule my delivery. The charge appeared on my credit card statement. I believed everything was all set. The delivery date came and went - no bed. I thought I may have misunderstood that date, so I called to find out when I'd be receiving my bed. A very succinct associate told me that order had been cancelled as they, "couldn't verify my credit card."
I asked what that meant, and all she could answer was, "I apologize, but our system just couldn't verify the card." I asked if that meant it had been declined (which it wouldn't have been), and she said no, but couldn't explain WHY it "couldn't be verified." She just said they had refunded the money to the card. I gave Bob's a chance to redeem themselves and re-ordered my bed. This time I did it at the showroom itself so I could be sure there were no problems with my credit card. It went through and my delivery was re-scheduled for that Saturday.
I was working, but my mother kindly offered to give up her day to be there for the delivery. She was busy trying to keep my cat from escaping as the delivery men left my front door wide open despite her request to the contrary, so she didn't notice until they had left that my bed was completely lopsided. It was crooked, wobbly as they hadn't put in all the screws, and worst of all, not even finished! They didn't even put all the slats on the bed! They just left the slats leaning up against my wall.
I have been trying to get someone to come pick up this bed so I can at least put my mattress on the floor to sleep for two weeks now. It takes at least twenty minutes to get a human being on the phone when you call, and then they treat you like an inconvenience and keep transferring you to other people and explaining why they can't help you. I've been sleeping on my couch for two weeks and Bob's is completely unconcerned by this. They even fought me on getting a refund for my defective bed, but eventually capitulated when I mentioned leaving a review on social media.
Then they transferred me to their "refund department," which should actually exist if they "don't do refunds" like they initially claimed. They are a shady, ridiculously bad company and no one should ever give them any business. Trust me, a slightly cheaper piece of furniture is not worth all the stress and frustration they will put you through!

We went to Bob's in Deptford NJ and liked the prices of the beds, sofas, kitchen sets for our new home. Once you order the items, they discuss delivery dates. Ours was weeks away but we had some beds so we could manage. Our date was sept. 20. We got reminder calls on Sunday and Monday but on Tuesday they don't show and they don't call. I wait 30 minutes to get a kid on the phone who puts me on hold a dozen times during a ninety minute call to tell me the new delivery date could be in two or three weeks, but I could have a 50 gift card for our lost wages. I canceled our order.
Last night I got a call from a Deptford store manager who said they'd reimburse our 200 Goof Proof charges and get us our furniture on Thursday. When we called to confirm tomorrow's delivery, they said we were never guaranteed a delivery date and that they will continue working on it. We canceled. Then another manager called to say they'd reimburse our 300 dollar delivery charge. But in the meantime, I read these reviews and got the chills, so we canceled. We have Raymour, Ashley, and Doughty's here and Sleepy's and I've had good experiences with all of them. Just got lured in by the floor samples and the prices. By the way, one of the managers told me they have 3000 deliveries per day. That's a lot of money and a lot of unhappy customers based on the mountain of reviews I've read.

At 6:30 A.M. on 8/30 I received a phone call informing me that the headboard was not on the truck and therefore the bed cannot be assembled. I rescheduled the delivery for 9/6/2016.

They could not perform the job because the headboard was missing yet again. I immediately called customer service and was told that the headboard will not be available till 10/4/2016.
At this point, since I paid for the bed in full with my credit card, I felt that I was being treated unfairly. I asked to be compensated by purchasing a mattress at a discount before the delivery of the bed on 10/4. We would at least have a mattress to sleep on instead of the couch. My request was adamantly declined by Tie **, a supervisor. She informed me that a discussion about compensation can only take place after the bed is delivered (another month). This is COMPANY POLICY.

Where to I begin? This has been the most horrible experience I have ever had with a purchase. I shopped around and chose Bob's foolishly trusting they actually cared about customer and had quality furniture. WOW was I wrong. After going into Bob's and a older women following me around while I browsed literally hawking me would not stop following, I should have known right there to leave. I found a living room set me and my girlfriend really liked. We sat with the salesman Victor who put on his phony act that he was sincere and their furniture was the best out there. We decided on a Bob-O-Pedic couch with large chair instead of the love seat, a marble table and end table. As well as an ottoman and lamp. The furniture was ordered and we were excited to receive it. They lead you on to make it seem as though they are so great and take pride in their furniture but the minute you leave that store your screwed.
On the delivery day 2 guys came and unloaded my furniture. I did not have a problem with the delivery guys however the first set of guys were sort of rough with the stuff. I say first set because in the matter of 2 1/2 weeks we went through 3 sets of couches and ottoman. Each time they came damaged beyond repair. They were completely unacceptable. They had marks everywhere, from long lines that looked like burn lines to stitching completely out of place. The first couch we received looked ok and I thought some of the marks from packing would go away. After examining closer I saw these were not from packing but yet clear manufacturer defects. The entire arm of the couch was worn out to the point there was a pinhole on the side, there was long marks that looked as if someone took a pen and drew across the pillows. The stitching on the side of the couch was sticking out and clearly assembled terribly.
There was a 3 inch gap where the arm meets the bottom that exposed all of the foam, and all of the pillows were lumpy. The ottoman was completely ruined, it was ripped, the sides were completely smashed in and the hinges were broken. We called and got these swapped out. NOTE: if you do make the mistake of ordering from these frauds and you have an issue DO NOT WAIT to call. Pick up that phone asap. After 3 days you stand no chance in any return. On the second delivery I had my doubts. When we received the couches and ottoman the second time they were even WORSE. I noticed this right away but the delivery guys refused to take it back and told me to call the 800 number to file a claim.
The 800 number by the way is full of incompetent morons. These couches on both sides of the arms had scrapes, marks and indents, and looked like someone rubbed the material with an eraser and wore it down to nothing. 1 of the pillows had an X yes a legitimate X through the pillow, as if they marked it as a POS defect. I was furious this time and told them the couches need to be checked before they are shipped. They assured me it would be.
On the 3rd time I didn't think it could get worse but it sure was worse than any of them. There was a 8in indent on the arm, there was a 6in gap in the spacing of the couch with wood exposed, all of the cushions were lumpy and did not even sit right on the couch and were out of shape and never regained shape. It was clearly defective. Towards the bottom of the left arm the material was all twisted which it should be perfect straight and flush. The ottoman was so crooked it looked like someone was on drugs who made it. I opened it and it smelled like 100 year old cheese. There was another rip at the bottom and this time every single side was smashed in.
I had enough and went to Bob's to talk to slime ball Victor **. Victor looked the other way when I walked in and I stared straight at him. It wasn't until I grilled him so hard that he finally came over and put on his phony act. He told me to call the 800# and didn't offer any help. He began to go on a rant of BS and telling me they will inspect it before it's shipped and this won't happen. I went to the office there and they couldn't even help so they dialed in to the 800# morons. After 45 minutes of waiting on the line I finally got someone. I explained my situation and had to fight and threaten a lawsuit against them to get my money back.
I have pictures of all this damage so no one can say I am exaggerating. I want everyone to see this for themselves and protect yourselves from these thiefs. They back none of their products and will not help you when things go wrong. They immediately defend their product and will give you any excuse they can come up with. Beware. Their prices might be good and they will fool you with their sincerity. They live a lie.
BOB Kaufman I hope you read this. You're a scumbag and I do not know how you sleep at night with how you operate your business. Every couch I had for the total of 5 days at the longest that I had each separate one, the cushions all sagged and got squashed in and looked 15 years old. I am not lying or exaggerating.

In another 120 days this mattress, too, failed. The only answer I could get from customer service was "you may come in and get another mattress, but after 30 days we will not refund your money." I explained that this was not a comfort issue many times.
In May 2016 a letter was sent to Bob's from the Attorney General's office asking for resolution within two weeks. No response. Another letter from the AG was sent and on August 9 I received a letter from the AG with a letter from Bob's saying that I could receive a refund. They picked up my mattress on August 10 (but NOT the box-spring). As they would not give me a refund over the phone, it was Monday, August 19 before I could get to the store. The customer service desk was helpful and said they had put the money back onto my card.
It is now August 30 and I still do not have my money. I called the store and was told that there was a hold on it because they had not picked up the mattress!

For a few extra dollars and sometimes less, you can find a better deal at your local furniture store.

I bought from them in order to save one to two hundred dollars. I cannot express to you the amount of headaches I have had due to their crappy quality. I am sorry but that is the only word that comes to mind when describing their quality! I have always purchased my furniture from Levitz (when they were open) and Raymour and Flanigan. I decided to give Bob's a try time and again. My daughter's bedroom set was decent for the price and because she is so dainty and careful about keeping her things nice it has held up.
Living room furniture especially all four of the recliners have given us problems! Yes, they will come and fix but for God sakes does anybody want to constantly have appointments and strangers in their home??? I have better things to do like having friends over but I can't because they have nowhere to sit! One recliner was exchanged for a new one because when my elderly mom sat on it (all of her 130 pounds) it broke on the spot. That was the "cat nap" recliner. That was replaced with the "Jerry Boy" model recliner and that one lasted "so much longer" about six months and broke. Also, the splinters my family dog kept getting we had no idea was coming from the Jerry Boy recliner. Couple of vet bills later here I am still stuck with the disgusting broken recliner.
I am getting very close to breaking it and use it for warmth this winter but I am afraid all of the chemicals used to hold the particle wood together would kill my family. Stay away from Bob's Headache Furniture. Pay an extra hundred-two hundred and get yourself something dependable... such as a recliner where you can actually sit. What a novel idea... a chair where you can sit instead of rolling onto the floor and taking a trip to the emergency room!

I bought a Bedroom Set in Bob's Furniture and I also got the Goof Proof Protection Plan. The paint on one of my bed rails like the veneer was flaking off. It look like when formica peels of the wood, it does not even look like paint. My dresser the one with the mirror you could not put down anything on top of it because the paint would scratch. I found that strange that the paint was so easily scratch. My bed with the exception of the one bed rail, the Tall dresser and my night table the paint finish was fine. I would dust it and it was fine. The problem was with dresser with the mirror. I was afraid to clean the top of the dresser or put anything on top of the dresser because the paint would scratch right away. The paint finish was very fragile only on the top of the dresser, the rest of the dresser was fine. The top had a few scratches on it. The bedroom set was 2 years old.
Then I recently had a living room sectional deliver with a swivel arm chair which I paid $199 for the swivel chair only. The swivel Chair had a crank loud noise. I sat on it the same day it was delivered and it was tilted. Mind you this is a brand new furniture. I proceeded to call Bob's customer Service to get service for my chair that was just deliver. After 2 weeks calling Customer Service, the calls would get cut off. When it would get to the part that it say press 2 for repairs bingo the calls would get disconnected. I would call all day long the same thing happen. Finally I got thru and I told them the problem about my swivel chair and the lady on the line told me that my goof Protection plan would not cover the chair. I went off. I told the customer service rep this is not even about repairs, this chair was just deliver and it is damage. The chair look it was used as a floor model or it was a returned.
So the customer service rep was going to send an inspector to check the chair out to see if Bob's would honor the repairs. How dare them. After 2 weeks the inspector not a repair guy came to inspect the chair. The jerk was in my house 2 minutes. Did not even check the chair and he said Bob would get back to me. Well Bob's customer service did get back to me like a week or perhaps 2. I do not recall. Customer service rep told me that the inspector report said that the chair was fine that he did not see anything wrong with it. Also the Bob's rep mention that why did I wait after the 30 days to report this. OMG I proceeded to say it took 2 weeks to get thru the Bob's customer service line, plus the inspector was sent 2 weeks later. Now that is not my fault.
Regardless I had the Goof protection plan. I was so upset I went to the store that I purchase my furniture from. Being that I had brought a living room set and a queen size bed as a house warming gift for my daughter, awaiting to be deliver to her new home, My daughter also had brought queen size mattress and a dining room set also awaiting to be deliver to her new home. I asked to speak with the manager, so you know they were going to take care of this right away, because I was going to cancelled my pending order so was my daughter was going to cancel her order too. I got the head manager. I told him the whole story about the not being able to get thru customer service, I told him about the swivel chair and I told him about the jerk inspector that they send and said there was nothing wrong with my swivel chair.
I told about the goof protection plan that customer service proceeded to say that that goof plan would not cover the scratches on my furniture. Then I said "if that is the case please cancel my pending order" and my daughter told them to cancel hers. The manager was excellent, even him could not get thru the Customer service line, but I had a repair guy come within 2 days. He verified that my chair was tilted due to that all the screws were loose on the inside of the chair and there was screws missing that he had to replace. He oil the chair and it was ok. I still feel I should have had the whole chair replace. It was not fair they deliver it that way. But it got taken care of. That goes to show you the inspector they sent was a big jerk, there was something wrong with the chair. I told the manager that inspector should not even be send to people's homes.
Getting back to my dresser the manager told me to call customer on the the dresser because the bedroom set was 2 years old already. Now the drama with my dresser it gets worst. I was told that the goof proof protection plan does not cover the scratches on my dresser and the peel paint on my bed rail. I proceeded to say to the customer service rep "you have not even ask me what the issue is and you are telling me that is not cover by the goof proof protection plan." I lost it and told her that Bob's needs to make some corrections on the Protection Plan because it does states what the goof plan covers.
Finally after all this they sent a guy out to fix the problem today Aug. 24. The guy told me that the bed rail part of my bed, he could not repair it but that he will report it to Bob's to see what they are going to do about it. That I would get a call back from Bob's ok. Now remember this dresser just by touching it too hard the paint would get scratch. I COULD NOT PUT ANYTHING ON TOP OF MY DRESSER. THE FINISH ON PAINT WOULD GET SCRATCH. When dusting the top of this dresser, I had to be very careful because it would ruined the finish on the dresser. The repair guy was repairing the top of the dresser. When he was done, he told me to wait 2 days for the paint or whatever he on it used to dry. I said ok thank you and thought he fixed the problem.
Well as the paint or whatever spray he use on it was drying, it was turning white on my black dresser and it ruined the finish on the top of my dresser. Now I have a bigger problem - the paint streaked and it left white marks on my dresser. What a nightmare. These scratches before the repair were done were not so bad, but after the repair guy got thru with my dresser the scratches turned white. I could have done a much better job on the scratches than the repair guy did or maybe the paint they used on the dresser when it was made was no good, maybe that is why the repairs did not take. There was something wrong with the paint they used on the dresser to begin with.
So here we go again I called customer service to report that it. When I finally got a rep I explained to her what happen to my dresser and she proceeded to tell me that she was sorry but that there was nothing Bob can do. Again I lost it and I told her that my dresser was ruined by the repair guy that came today to fix the problem. I told her that if they do not do something about it, that I would do something.
So finally the rep told me she was going to send me a email that would take 72 hrs for me to receive it. Once I get the email from them, for me to email them photos of the top of my dresser where the damage was done by the repair guy LOL and they will decided whether or not they will handle it. I have spend a lot of money on Bob's Furniture. The biggest rip off they have with this goof Proof Protection plan. I hope the problem with the dresser and the bed rail will be resolve. They got away with my $199 chair. It should have been replace not fixed. It was brand new. This experience with Bob's Furniture was a complete nightmare.

MY EMAIL TO THEM: STILL NO RESPONSE...Terrible customer service, terrible service plan. Terrible furniture and they do not fix anything....
My husband in Oct. 2012 purchased some furniture from the Yonkers, NY store. The piece of furniture in question is the Maggi Choc. 92" sofa sleeper. The problem with this piece is the arms/brackets for mattress. Both arms are cracked. When you get up and brace yourself as you get up the arms they sound like egg shells cracking. There is an actual dip in both arm that were obvious to the service tech before he even touched anything.
We entered your store in Poughkeepsie on 7.21.16 to actually to purchase another piece of furniture and we met a wonderful salesman named Joe ** to help us. On our way into the store we saw the Maggie sofa sleeper and when we met the salesman we mentioned the sound the arms made to him. We took him to the piece and asked if this was normal. He said absolutely not. He called it a manufacturers defect (something similar happened to him), so we proceed to ask if this can be fixed? He said it depends on what the service tech says, it may cost too much to fix and they may just replace it. He asked if we had the goof plus and we actually had no idea that we had it until he looked in the computer and found the order and it says clearly that we had it.
Since we had the coverage this defect would be covered. We spoke to the manager after sitting with Joe so we can resolve the issue and she even denied that we had the coverage on the sleeper sofa. We told Joe and he couldn't believe that she was denying it as well. He said the best bet is to call customer care. Which is what we did.
So it begins: We set up an appt for a service tech to come out (Joe's recommendation.) He came on the 28th of July. 1st he had no Bob's furniture brand clothing on, he was sweaty as I was a little concerned with his unprofessional appearance. He asked some questions, took some pictures, asked to use MY phone and spoke to someone, handed me the phone and just left.
I had no idea who I was speaking to and before I got a chance to ask he was gone. He called my husband just before he came because he was at the wrong address (which I specifically told the rep on the phone when making the appt of the change of address) and his phone number was blocked. This is why I say shady. Customer service dropped the ball on the update of the new address correction. When I originally called customer service to set up the service tech appt it took me 20 mins to convince them that we had the goof plus on the sleeper sofa. It's the mattress that we declined it on. Once she realized her mistake and apologized she made the appt. Very frustrating!!!
When the service tech left and he left me on the phone with customer care, we spoke for 5 minutes. He called it accidental and then we got disconnected. I had no idea what that meant so I called back. I spent another 15 mins convincing the new rep of the same issue re: the sleeper sofa and the goof plus. Once again I told her it was the mattress that wasn't covered. She was very hostile, rude and unprofessional. She was talking over me and couldn't care less what I had to say. She asked why I waited to so long to call. I told her it didn't matter that I was covered for 5 years & that I had no idea of the plan until I walked in the store and spoke with Joe on the 21st of July.
She questioned my character, and that made me so mad. I couldn't believe that I had to convince this person that I had no fault in this and that the same piece of furniture in the showroom also had the same problem... She didn't want to hear it and said that there is nothing she can do bc that's what the service tech deemed it. I was so enraged... what kind of customer service is this? They accused me and my family for the manufacturer's defect in the arms. How can this be our fault? They obviously don't want any blame on this and they don't want to stand by their coverage.
I have 3 other couches for over 20 years and not once has there been a problem. To top it all off the brackets on the mattress are broken and the top of the mattress is almost on the floor. I wanted to file a different claim for this but I don't want anyone from your organization in my home. This has been the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They are not taking any fault in the decrepit piece of junk furniture I have. I was so disappointed with the store manager in Poughkeepsie, as well as your service tech and your customer care which is the worst by far. I need something done, this is completely unacceptable. Thank you for reading. I hope we can truly resolve this issue.

My roommates and I purchased a couch & chair set from Bob's last summer (2015). Since then, every single cushion on our chair has had springs jolting up causing serious discomfort when sitting on the couch. At first, only one cushion broke and Bob's sent a new part pretty quickly (still after 3 or 4 phone calls reminding them they needed to ship us the part). Then, the other two cushions subsequently broke as well and (this being back in May) Bob's told us they wouldn't have the part until mid-August. Ok. We understand. Sometimes parts are on back order. But did Bob's offer to do ANYTHING for us in the meantime? NO!
So today, August 23rd, I decide to call to see where the ** our new cushions are. And what does the guy on the phone tell me? (After I've been on hold for 10 minutes) NO PARTS UNTIL OCTOBER. This place is a ** joke. There is no help when you speak to one of the monkeys on the phone, and when I asked if I could speak to anyone higher up he said no they would give me the same answer. I said "you should be giving me a new couch" and he said that he can't do that and the only thing I can do is wait until October. Well, the only thing I can do and will do is buy a new couch, never shop from Bob's again, and tell every human I possibly know that this the WORST furniture store I have ever encountered with the WORST customer service on the planet.

The products are not made well. When you try to get it fixed it's a whole other issue. You have to constantly call service, then I got my sofa replaced with another because I didn't learn the first time. They delivered the 2nd sofa, one of the cushions had 3 stains on it. I'm tired of having to leave work, just to have the product break or return a piece of it because of stains. Then I schedule to have them deliver the cushion at my office and they are not scheduled to come until after business hours, which they were told when scheduling what the hours were. Horrible. If you do not want to great aggravated do not purchase from them!!!

So I purchased a new bedroom set for my daughter on June 30th 2016! Received part of it the following week and was advised the balance would be received 8/13/16. Received a call that the furniture was available earlier, would I be able to accept the early deliver. Of course I said yes! They advised me it would be delivered on 8/6/16 and I would received a call the day before with a window of time expected for delivery. Naturally 8/6/16 came and went with no call. I called the store, Nesconset, NY location and was advised we weren't eligible for delivery as we owed money. Mind you we paid for the furniture in full the day we purchased it.
After about 2 hours of waiting on hold and finally getting through to a manager, the manager, Rob, advised me of a so-called "glitch" in the computer system that Bob's increased the delivery charge and somehow my invoice indicated that there was a balance because of this which BUMPED me out of being eligible for my delivery. He apologized and offered me a $50 gift card and assured me the next available delivery was 8/20/16. Well here we are on Friday, 8/19/16 I called to confirm this and guess what??? Lo and behold I am NOT getting my furniture tomorrow, 8/20!!! They advised me that they tried calling me on 8/15/16 and was unsuccessful in getting through or leave a message so now I was bumped AGAIN!! Even though they confirmed my number 10x they called the wrong number!!!
Then they advised that they can ship it on 8/23/16. So naturally I was ok with this... received my email confirmation and now I'm being told the furniture will not be available until September 10th. The manager is away for a week, the regional manager is away until god knows when!!! MY ADVICE IS DO NOT EVER GO TO BOB'S FOR FURNITURE. Also, I NEVER RECEIVED THE $50 GIFT CARD. Who cares now?! My daughter has been living out of boxes for 7 weeks and now am being told another 3 weeks more!!! By far the absolute worse experience!!!

I am writing this because I do not want anyone else to get scammed by a completely corrupt and unethical company. Bob's Discount Furniture sells a bunch of junk and they do not honor their warranties. Their customer service center is the worst I have ever dealt with. Their goof proof is a joke. I have had some bad customer service in my lifetime, but never one where I am deliberately lied to. I was lied to so many times. I believe that they actually coach their customer service reps to lie. The goal of their customer service department is to frustrate the customer so bad, that the customer just eventually goes away.
I bought a mattress from them that started sagging before the warranty was up. They went out of their way to not honor the warranty with excuses and lies. I caught them in multiple lies, and they just do not seem to care because places like the Better Business Bureau do not do anything about it. They give this awful company an A+ rating even after all of the complaints they get. It took me over a month and a 10 page letter along with 30 pages of exhibits to get a new mattress. The exhibits were copies of phone calls that they tried to tell me didn't exist and numerous emails that were never returned.
In the end, Bob's shifted the blame to the mattress protector company who finally provided me with a new mattress. The mattress protector company was no better and they also employed Bob's strategy of trying to frustrate the customer so bad, that you eventually just go away. I hope this review is a warning to anyone thinking about buying anything from such a corrupt and unethical business.

As others said, the experience in the store is great, but the minute you paid, and you need delivery you will never get any help. I purchase a sofa and loveseat and paid the full amount. I requested delivery and paid for it, they scheduled for Wed. I advised that up until 3.00 PM is good, since I will not be home after 3.00 PM. "Sure no problems" they said, "we will put it in for you". Well, I received my delivery confirmation. It is Wed between 3.00 PM and 7.00 PM. I called the store, they advised me that they will try to change it, they never did and never called back. I called again today Tuesday, they hung up on me. There was a complete Dining room set that I was going to purchase including the china, Well not going to happen. I will find a better quality store to purchase from now on. Just remember, they think that their clients are trash, and they treat the customer that way. DO NOT BUY THERE, and spread the word, I know I am. Thank you.

I recently bought several furniture items from a Bob's store in Virginia. I planned to move to Texas and asked 2 salespeople and a store manager if that would be OK. They assured me it would be fine and would not impact my warranty. When I opened the furniture after moving, I found that 3 of the items had manufacturer defects. I called to file a claim and they said they can't replace individual pieces of furniture - only the entire item. They also said they would not ship anything to me. I would have to send them the entire furniture items (including the undamaged parts) at my expense, and then pay to ship entire new pieces back to me. It would cost thousands of dollars to ship that stuff. I've been fighting with them for months now to get some kind of resolution but they will not budge. I've hired a lawyer and am in the process of filing a lawsuit. I just want the furniture that I paid for in undamaged condition!

Upon delivery the brown 3 seat couch was ripped and I immediately called and they sent out another one. However the black 2 seat is ripped from the seams on both sides hiding under the leather cushion. I called the warranty and goof proof and they DECLINED to fix it. It's August 2016 several months later and I am now stuck with a ripped leather chair. I will never purchase anything from Bob's again. They take your money knowing they sell defective products.

UPDATE.. I removed my negative review about the sofa I bought from BOB's . After emailing them a copy of my review and BBB complaint, they replaced the sofa free of charge. The main problem with BOB'S is the goof proof, do not buy Goof proof, (Guardian) They declined my claim before I could even finish talking about what happened. They never called me back, lied to me and were rude. (Guardian) is the insurance company that goof proof goes through. They should not even be in business. Just read the negative reviews here. They are mostly about goof-proof (Guardian) BOB'S did do the right thing and did stand behind their product in my case, thank you.

DO NOT BUY FROM BOB'S FURNITURE!!! They do not stand behind their products at all. Their prices might be a little cheaper, but the quality is junk. The sofa we bought we also added the "GOOF PROOF". OMG what a scam!! Two years of light use on the sofa and the arm rest cracked while leaning over to get TV remote in the dark. Called Goof Proof (Guardian) and was told it was not covered at all because it was not a accident (REALLY). They lied to me and jerked me around for over a month telling me that they were trying to work out a resolution with BOB'S. They never called me back so I called Goof Proof (Guardian). They said they never said that.
I finally called BOB'S and they sent out a "service tech". He stated it was normal wear and tear. Really only 2 years of light use. I have now filed a complaint with the BBB and called my credit card company who agrees with me 100%. They are going to dispute the whole bill. You have been warned. Spend a few more dollars and buy from a company that sells better furniture and stands behind it . BOB'S FURNITURE SELLS NOTHING BUT JUNK THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND. If you do buy from them you are buying at your own risk.

I have been a customer for a few years and have never had a problem until now. I was told that they were looking into getting me a new sofa because it was damaged accidentally. I waited almost 2 weeks for them to get back to me and I decided to call them and the customer care woman was rude and said they would not give me a new sofa. I will NEVER go and buy anything from them again and I would never recommend them to anyone.

Was sold the wrong box spring for an urban location. Delivery team showed up - they could not have been more unprofessional. I was on a work call - they sat on the floor and played the hold music, which is a common occurrence at Bob's. They told me 20 minutes later that Bob's would call me back. Of course - they never did. I called Sleep's and got a box spring delivered in a day. Never heard back from Bob's. I used the crappy cheap frame from Bob's for my new box spring - and guess what - it broke. This all happened on 7/2. It is 8/17 - and I still have never heard from Bob's. I have left messages at the store I purchased the box spring and frame at. Never have called me back.

For the consumer beware. Spent $4,700 on a couch, Loveseat and. Recliner. All Leather motorize seats and lighted cup holders, motorized headrest. Had furniture for year and a half. Material under foot rest started splitting and foam crumbling on floor. Started on right side and now left side. Had extra warranty and they won't cover it because of normal wear and tear. This is a moving part and should be covered under manufacturer defect. This should never happen between a year to two years. Bob's said I'm stuck with it. Normal wear and tear is from sitting on. Not the furniture performing normal performance. Any real further repair company could of fix this. They sent a kid in a Honda Accord with a cordless drill and some hand tools saying he's a furniture repairman. Such BS. Will be choosing a new furniture store. Bob's not the store it use to be!!!

I purchased the Maggie II living room set with the chaise. Two months later the springs were popping through the cushions. I called customer service to let them know. They told me they needed to send a technician out. Okay I take a day off work waiting for the technician for him to tell me the cushions are defective and he is putting in a work order. 3 weeks later no cushions. I called customer service. Now mind you this started in February of 2015. They tell me they are back ordered for another 4 weeks. Ok no problem. 4 weeks later - oops sorry back ordered again. It is now August still no cushions. In the meantime the frame of the couch wobbles. I call customer service again and they tell me that they can do a one time swap but the $100.00 that I paid for Goof Proof will not be applied to the new couch so I will lose it. Not happy with that I called back.
Spoke with customer service supervisor who says, "I will just credit the account. Don't worry about the couch. Go pick a new one out." Finally some progress. So I go to the store last Saturday because I was told the credit would expire in 2 weeks. I pick out the same couch to match the love seat I have but this time with the sleeper in it. I paid for the difference in cash. I was told my couch would be delivered Saturday August 6, 2016. They call me to confirm, then call to confirm delivery time of 4-8 pm. Well delivery guys show up with no couch and are looking for the broken couch. So leave me with nothing? I call customer service. They tell me I have a balance. I explain there is no balance. I am holding the invoice in my hand. She continues to tell me I have a balance then puts me on hold for 33 minutes.
While I'm holding I call the store. I get Anna the store manager in the Nesconset store. Never spoke to someone any ruder in my life. She spoke over me the whole time, wouldn't let me finish, and told me accounting didn't process the credit yet because they are off on weekends. I said ok they had a week to do it. Her response was, "Well, I'm not accounting. I don't know." "Well, you're the store manager shouldn't you have an answer?" Then she proceeds to say, "Well that couch is back ordered until 8-10-16 anyway." "Really? Then why did they give me a delivery date and time?" She says, "To pick up the old couch." "So you want the couch that is crumbling but you're not giving me the couch I paid for?" "Yes," she says. "That is our policy." I have never had such issues with any company the way I have with Bob's.
So here I am no couch, no credit applied, and she can't give me an answer as to when it will even be applied. Nice manager skills. You should be able to answer all customer questions and if not search for an answer. So now the order was never placed because accounting never moved the credit and I'm waiting on them. I was told, "When it's applied they will call you." I am so pissed off and would never recommend Bob's to anyone. You get what you pay for I guess. Pathetic. Oh and then I was told if I wanted Goof Proof I would have to purchase it for another 100.00. No it should automatically be put on my new couch for the remaining 3 years. But no. Not their policy. Horrible horrible service.
I don't even give them 1 star but I had to hit something. Oh and customer service is off Sunday and Monday as well. So no questions can be answered. I even had issues with the dining room set I purchased from them. They delivered the table, assembled it, and we're ready to leave when my son noticed that one of the legs was about 4" shorter than the other 3. Waste of money and time at this place.

Okay started within a month after buying the sectional. While already sitting on the chaise a piece of wood broke from under me. There were staple sticking out all around us cover on the bottom of the couch and when sitting on the chaise seems like he sunk a good for 5 inches and have a hard time getting out of it. It's like it sucked you in nothing like in the showroom. And on the corner piece the same thing sucks you right in and on the loveseat piece of wood on the front jobs into the back of your legs causes for bad blood circulation and blood clots and on the armless loveseat the leg has broken on the right front and they replaced it half hour later. I come walking in the house to sit down on it and did not even get to put my body into the couch all the way and it broke again.
Same thing goes with the piece of wood sticking into the back side of your legs and a little piece of wood in the center of the front pieces sticking through the middle of it where the couch cushions meet together and on the back part of the frame piece of wood is loose on that you can feel it moving and under that piece all four of the legs are not flat on the floor. They are at an arch and when they repaired the leg they messed the dust cover, put a big hole in it and did not staple it under the couch correctly so it is sticking out and very noticeable along with on the chaise when they replace the wood ones from breaking dust cover sticking out. Unprofessional with dead people to come and fix stuff.
The guy today was the fifth guy and two months to come to my house and look at the couch and I am not exaggerating when I say looked. He did not touch to do any work that's for sure I do not recommend anyone buying anything from Bob's Discount Furniture. The first guy to come and fix my coach didn't know where accept her offer it stopping and the two seats that sucks you in and literally told me "What do you want for a discounted furniture?" It's not like I'm spending five or six grand or more from one of those places. Western Mass. very unprofessional and very disappointing. Like I say it all started within the first month, month-and-a-half. And the Goof Proof plan is a hoax, a way for them to rip you off money $$$.

I bought a mattress from Bob's and had it delivered and hated it from day one. I called Bob's, which if you call them, it takes so long to actually speak to person it's ridiculous. I was told that I had to keep the mattress for 30 days, no matter how much me and my husband were not getting a good night's sleep. We dealt with that as best we could and then I went back to Bob's to find out what I had to do to return the mattress. The first salesman I dealt with did not lie, he just omitted some of the small print so that it makes it very difficult to return anything that you bought.
Second salesman, same thing, omitting that if I pick another mattress that I couldn't return that one no matter if I was unhappy or not. My husband has Stage 4 cancer and his bones are very brittle, I was desperate to get a mattress so that he could be comfortable and get the rest he so desperately needs. So now we are stuck with a mattress that neither of us likes and both of us are suffering from back pain for me and all over aches for my husband. They do not care about their customers, just the bottom line. Do not buy from them, they will just give you the runaround if you have a problem. Worse customer service I've ever had with a company.

After calling back 5 days later & getting a supervisor on the phone they gave me a credit for the couch. I'm satisfied & will buy from Bobs again.
Original Review: Aug. 2, 2016
I purchased a leather reclining couch from Bob's in 2010. The second year we had to replace a mechanism in the recliner. I saw a sticker on the couch that said Lane. The repairman said it is a great couch & the part that broke had a lifetime warranty on it. In January of 2016 the same part broke again. I called customer service & they sent a service person out to inspect it. He had me speak to a customer service agent who assured me that the part was under warranty. After receiving the wrong part 3 TIMES the customer service person said it wasn't under warranty. I'm still waiting for a call from a supervisor. After the second mistake I asked them to send out a supervisor but they told me I would be compensated if there was any other problems. Very frustrating! I will not buy or recommend Bob's Furniture in the future.

I purchase from Bob's a living room recliner set (Brava-brown recliner sofas). The first delivery they have to take sofas back because they were broken. Bob's offer another delivery date was furious since I gave my old sofas away so for a week we have no sitting sofas. When second delivery came big sofa was not working properly. The delivery men was rude, didn't want to take sofa back, told me to call Bob's and since I had purchase the Goof proof kit I can get it replaced. When checking my so call insurance it said they will replace and fix damages within 5 years - LIES LIES LIES.
If you don't want to be con stay away from Bob's Furniture. Getting through speaking to a representative after several days in trying and bob's sending someone to inspect sofa, bob's company came to conclusion I cause damages. I have no small children. There are only 3 grown adult in house. We are barely at home due to job and travel. Explain sofa was deliver defective but of course, it was easier to blame the customer. Again Stay away from con Bob's Furniture Store. If you can afford to throw away money no problem, shop there. Otherwise stay away, very far away.

We place an order for two-bedroom furniture two weeks ago. The delivery was scheduled from 2 pm to 6 pm today and the truck shows up at 7.30 pm. No calls that they will be late. Then they deliver the bad news. Every furniture is damaged which I cannot fathom. Two bedroom suites cannot all be damaged. Now both boys have no bed. I cancelled the order with customer care and they transferred me to the store to do so which took 40 minutes. I asked the delivery team chief why it was not checked and this is exactly what he said: "The furniture comes from overseas. Nothing is checked at all but just loaded in the truck and the delivery team is expected to check them before bringing in the house and this happens all the time."

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BOB'S! Horrible experience with delivery and customer service. Called many times and was put on hold for over 45 minutes. Customer service tells you what you want to hear and NOTHING will get done to resolve any issues with furniture. The worst furniture company I have ever dealt with. Desk and bed set had missing wood.

Terrible customer service after you have paid for the merchandise and delivery whenever they choose to show up... not on your delivery date or time and with no phone call.

The Pictures tell it all. This furniture from Bob's Furniture is just 3 months old (April 2016) and see how it has deflated, looking like a 20 year old furniture. Sitting on it, you could feel the hard wood under the cushion and the back is already falling apart. You could actually feel the wood sticking out from the back. I'm so disappointed. They do not have warranty on their products and the Goof proof plus is a scam. I still wonder why Consumer Protection is still allowing them to remain in the market. They show you the real one in the store and they deliver the fake one. I am accepting my loss but will NEVER encourage anyone to buy anything from them.

Placed my order for the # 5 bedroom set at the Flatbush Ave showroom May 30, 2016. Due to the head & foot not in stock the delivery was postpone till June 18, 2016. I was the first delivery that day. The tech who put the furniture today did a terrible job of assembling and bedroom set was scratched all over, the chest must of been dropped, the doors couldn't be opened. I asked him to take it back. He said. So I called customer service right away and they send someone who fixed the scratches and called, took pics of the chest, said I get a new one ASAP.
The following week I got the robot call. Chest was delivered on Tuesday. The chest looked fine. I left that day for 1 week for work. Came. I clean the drawers of the styrofoam. Put my husband clothes back. Well when I passed a damp rag to dust the exterior I found tape on the right side by it middle where the legs attach. Apparently when the tech was putting on the legs his drill must of hit the wood and a big chunk came off so the tech painted it with that felt pencil they carry.
They send another tech. It was replaced again, then I notice that the foot board had a dent - the rail. There was another tech coming because I had also bought a captains bed and the same tech who messed up the first chest had put small screws when he built the drawers. It was fixed. The tech called up Bob's, send pic of the foot board bob's informed me they would replace. Then I was notify that my bedroom set has been discontinue, that I can pick something similar. When I told them that I had purchased a bedroom set and not different pieces they said there was nothing they could do. Well I have some bad news Bob's.

Delivered actually 1/2 hrs early... delivery smooth - no issues... and our home looks great. I contribute all of this to the wonderful overseeing of our salesman - Mario. Can't say enough about our experience. Actually all of the staff were helpful and friendly... never pressured. Gave us plenty of space. I wouldn't shop any other place.

I ordered a bedroom set and a rug through Bob's Furniture. My delivery was on the may 25th 2016. The delivery guys came, told them where I would like my bed set up. I went downstairs once they was done. They had me sign for the delivery. They left. Went upstairs and notice that the bed wasn't set up correctly and not connected right. Called Bob's to advise of my issue, also to let them know that my rug also wasn't on the truck. Spoke with a supervisor. I took off work to make this delivery now you're telling me I have to take off work again for a second delivery. She then advise someone will be there to also fix any issues with the bed. Set up another delivery for that Saturday 5/28/2016. That was my first issue.
My second issue later that night I was setting up my tv when I notice there was a crack in the tv. It wouldnt turn on or anything. I filed a complaint thru the better business.

I bought the Miranda Sofa and Loveseat 1 1/2 years ago. The cushions started to deflate within 6 months. Bob's didn't want to hear about it and said that it was just "settling". About a month ago I noticed one of the seat back cushions pulled away from the sofa. I scheduled an appointment "twice" because the service technician ended up at someone else's door in another town. When the technician showed up on another date. He said the cushions would be replaced but the tear was irreparable. Bob's customer service said it was not going to do anything about and Guardian didn't understand why and said they would look into it. Well it's now 3 weeks later. No cushions and no answer on why my Goof Proof Plus does not cover a couch tear.
I don't write customer reviews because I don't believe it stops a customer from purchasing from a store until they themselves have a bad experience. After reading a number of these reviews, I see that the Goof Proof Plus purchase is a scam and that everyone that has submitted a review has had the same experience. I can only warn future buyers that Bob's discount furniture does not stand by the quality of their furniture and nor do they stand by their customer repair warranties. If you are looking for a quick delivery, with temporary furniture that "looks nice" but will not last then this is the store for you. If you are looking to spend your hard earned money on quality furniture then spend a little bit more and go to a store that has a reputation that stands behind the merchandise that they sell.

They took over a month to replace them plus when the inspector says Bob's will call me that's bull, they never call. The 2nd visit was due to the cushions again and scratches on the sofa. The inspector found nothing wrong according to Bob's and not Bob's or Goof Proof wanted to speak to me, not even a manager. The customer service rep would not do anything for me and just to get me off the phone she said she will input something and they will email me. Yet again same bull story.
Now I'm dealing with the armrest wood breaking and when I called they finally set up a inspector to come out for the 3rd time. I should of learned my lesson the first time with purchasing furniture with them. They never call back after inspection.

We made sure that the room was empty. The couches were put at the right spot but they left the coffee table at the hallway, still in a box! They also didn't finish assembling the wall unit. Furthermore, there is a crack in the lower drawer. I called their Customer Services and they were pleasant. They promised to send someone on 7/9 to assess the damage and assemble the coffee table. My question is, did they run out of time or were they being disrespectful?
I have guests coming over for the 4th of July and we need to use the furniture especially the coffee table sitting in the box, waiting to be assembled on 7/9! I am thinking of getting someone to assemble it and bill Bob's Furniture for that. However, I can't finish assembling the wall unit because they took away the manual so I can't tell what goes where.

At 5 pm we got a phone call from Customer Service saying the delivery could not be made because no one was home. Oddly enough I was home all day - took the day off work, and put a note on the buzzer that said "if bell doesn't ring, please call......." No phone call, nothing. By 5 the truck had already returned and the couch had been unloaded. I'm going to go ahead and say the delivery people just decided to stop working because it was a Friday afternoon.
I call Saturday to reschedule for Wednesday. It's confirmed 1:45 - 3:15 Wednesday 6/22. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I check online and call the CS # to hear the automated date and time of delivery. I take off Wednesday from work, again to be here for the delivery. My plan was to sit outside and wait for them. At midnight last night (6/21) the automated confirm was for today 1:45 - 3:15. At 7 am it was still the same. I go online at 8 am to track the order and now the delivery date has been CHANGED!!! To Friday 6/24!!! How does that even happen??? How do people get away with not doing their job?? I'm going out of town tomorrow and can't be here for the couch. Now I have to wait, until when??? When they feel like getting here!!!

DO NOT spend your hard earned money at Bob's! Bought 2 couches from Bob's two years ago. The foam in the cushion seats has compressed to the point where it is almost half of what it used to be. The fabric on the cushion seats is pulling and fraying. So I called the goof proof warranty company only to be told that they don't cover those issues. They only cover damages and stains. Then I called Bob's. They sent out a technician to examine my couches. He arrived on time and was very polite. Asked me what my complaints were. Wrote everything down and took pictures. Then he asks me to use my cellphone to call it in. As he is on the phone repeating my complaints and stating that the cushions cannot be fixed, he has me signing paperwork. Then, he hands the phone back to me, tells me that Steve will now help me and basically runs out of the house to his car.
By the time I am talking to Steve, the technician is gone. What a joke. I guess he didn't want to be present when I was given the bad news so that I could not argue with them on his conclusion. Steve tells me that my complaints are considered normal wear and tear and are not covered under any warranty. This is NOT normal wear and tear. My couches look like a cat used them as scratching posts and I DO NOT own a cat. When you sit in certain places you can feel the springs under the cushions. I have a 15-year old couch that looks new compared to these couches. I will never purchase anything from Bob's ever again!

You're catered to, It's Mr or Mrs. this to that, "Would you like some water, lay on this or that" and etc, but after they get your money the fun begins.
My expectations are not unreasonable. I paid for my stuff on time LOL. When you say you're going to send it at a specific time follow through with your word and send it at the time you say you will deliver it, if not I want a ** phone call. Things happened that can reasonably delay your product but if that is the case then I want ** phone call. It's not rocket science. Bob's ** Furniture is supposed to be in the business of satisfying their customers. Not frustrating or annoying them to no end.
My story is a six-week adventure with Bob's Furniture Discount Delivery Services. Week 1. I walk in the store and drop 3 grand for a Bed and Sofa set. Week 2 It gets delivered but the Queen can't fit. No problem. We upgrade to the King because that has 2 the box springs. Really. Tell me that's not a gimmick. Ooh well. We bit the bullet for another grand and ungraded. Week 3. It gets delivered, but the deliveries were not in the projected time given and though we were inconvenienced we accepted it and moved forward. Phone call would have been appreciated.
Week 4. We get a phone call, which was appreciated but it said something to the effect of "We can't deliver the sofas because they are not in the warehouse so we need to order them and they should be in next week. (At which point I'm thinking why the ** did you sell a product that you didn't have on hand and commit to delivery date. Oh yeah it 4 weeks later and they still didn't have it. What is the deal really?
Week 5. Yeah!!! The delivery truck pulls in with no phone call that they are on the way and not even close to the time frame. At which point I'm thinking this is getting old but HEY! My stuff is here!!! Woohooo! The wife is going to be happy! The doors to the back of the truck open and they bring in my love seat, put it together, and then he hands me the paperwork? I'm like..."Ahhh. Where's my other couch?" The one out of the two Brazilians that can could speak English said "They do this to us all the time. We leave the warehouse and we're told where to go and what to deliver, but you can call this number."
So they couldn't call me and say I wasn't going to get the whole delivery? Plus they were late. Should I be surprised at this point? (Oh my Gawd!!!) My time is being wasted spent on waiting for them to deliver what I paid for! So you must know what happens next!!! Yep, Incoming ** Feist, play time with their automated phone service (sarcasm), long waits on the phone and being put on hold, hang-ups, call backs. Finally a nice lady who is just the messenger that I can't slay apologizes profusely. "It's coming next week." Okay.
Week 6. Last delivery... (Don't LAUGH!!! I MEAN IT!!!) The delivery was supposed to be at 8:30 am to 12 pm or something like that. My plan was to get home at 7:30, move the old couch out, and make room for the new couch. It's about 6:30 am and I hear the call of mother nature saying "It's time to let it go." So I head to the bathroom to drop a "FATBOY in a toilet named Hiroshima." By the way that's not an opinion on the Japanese, just a Historical reference and analogy. So whilst handling my business... I get the phone call from my wife. "Honey, they are here. I can't stay. I'm supposed to be at school early and I have meetings that I must attend!"
SO NOW I HAVE TO RUSH HOME? I'm in the middle of my business and I can't begin to describe the level of anger I was experiencing. Never have they been on time and always late... yet they come to my house 2 Hours early!!! In the middle of my **. I'm at work which now I have to leave early. My job is about 12 minutes away doing an average of 90 MPH.
I come home visibly upset and verbally venting to the one Brazilian that speaks English. His response. "I'm sorry Sir, we're just contractors that deliver only. We get these complaints all the time but it's not our fault." I calmed down and I said, "Well can you at least help me move the old couch out?" The delivery guy said that he was not supposed to but would considering the situation, which is the only saving grace of "Bob's ** delivery services."

What would make they think I would ever buy from them again? The table still had marks on it and learned my lesson. You get what you paid for.

I bought a dining room table and chair set from Bob's. I also purchased the extra Goof Proof warranty (5 years). The set is three years old and one of the legs on the chairs failed. I called for service and was told the chair had been discontinued and that their warranty was a "best effort" warranty and I was S.O.L. So no replacement, no credit, no nothing, tell my story walking so to speak. Despite the fact that I still had two years on the warranty. I had purchased multiple items from Bob's but this is my last, and I was going to be shopping for a new living room set soon. I still am, it just won't be at Bob's.

Initially I went in on Friday 11/27/15 to purchase a sectional sofa and a coffee table. A brand new sales rep helped me and he advised it was his first week. We showed him the floor model and told him we needed a left arm sofa with a right arm sectional which is exactly the model in their showroom. He put together our order with the coffee table and a right arm sofa. At that time I was advised there was no finance charges for 6 months. When we got home, I realized that he left off the chaise lounge and had the wrong sofa. We needed a left arm sofa.
We went back the next morning, on 11/28/15. I explained what happened and they modified my order. On Saturday 11/28/15 they advised that I now have 12 months with no finance charges. This week I received an email from Wells Fargo advising me six and the free financing is about to end. I called them and they explained Bob's did not modify the order they merely sent the additional items being the chaise lounge. Then when I tried to call Bob's to straighten this out I spoke to a representative who advised Bob's will not resubmit my revised contract to Wells Fargo only to me! How does that help me fix their mistake. It was my first and last time as a customer. I also could not find an email address to send in a written complaint to so I am posting my complaint on their social media page.

Worse place ever. I bought some furniture with Bob and added the goof proof. So I call them to fix my sofa and dinner table and a tech came out and when he show up he didn't do anything. He said he can't fix it and took pictures and left. When a rep call me and told me they can't fix my purchase cause it's out of the goof proof I told them I'm still under warranty and she told me she can't fix it cause it has multiple damage and they don't cover that. I told them how that if I never made a claim? She told me it has to be only 30 days within purchase. So why add goof proof if they not going to do anything?

I have purchased many products at Bob's for which I have been happy. Fireplace tv stand, bedroom set, etc. However, I purchased a Black Label Euro pillow top mattress (around $1000) set that I loved for a while. After about 5 years it developed a sink hole. I went into Bob's to talk to customer service and was rudely told after about 20 min that I was not in the system and she couldn't help me anyways. I had to call customer service. I did this on my day off and spent 1.5 hours on the phone. I spoke with 7 people because the phones were having issues and kept dropping my call. Only 2 of the reps tried to call me back. Diane was able to tell me that in 2010 (purchased in 2009) they archived the files and no one was able to find me (call 4). Nathan (call 7) dropped but he called me back. We set up an appt for someone to come and measure the dip (another day to take off).
If they find that sleeping with your arm under your hip to not fall in the middle is an acceptable number of inches, they may replace it under a 20 year warranty. By the way, I am 125 lbs. This will again require a day off from work. I am sleeping in my guest bedroom and utterly disgusted at the customer service. Will never shop here again!

So in desperate need for a set of bunk beds for my kids I found the one I wanted online, walked in the store, information in hand, only to have to request a salesperson! Since the one on display was not the same as the one online, it took a while but we were finally able to get it ordered! Just as I was getting ready to pay my $900, I was given the option of financing through Acceptance Now!
At the time it seemed like a good idea, with 3 kids and trying to save every penny! They even tell you "90 days same as cash to pay it off" and it goes on your credit! But when you try to make the payment, you can only pay in increments of that payment (For example, if your payment is 150, you can't pay 200. You have to pay 300, increments of the payment due, if you want to pay extra.)! So now I am past my 90 days by 7 days and now my payoff doubled! Lesson learned. Should have just paid in full at time of purchase instead of now paying out more money that I don't have! I feel like I was preyed upon! In the end it's my own fault for not reading the fine print!

I bought a kitchen table at bob's and purchased the goof proof insurance. I called to make a claim for cracked chairs, a spring hanging out of another chair, and a cracked table leg. I set up an appointment for a tech to come. The tech never showed up, I waited all day. I called the following Monday to complain, only to be told, the tech showed up and I wasn't home. They proceeded to describe my home as it looked a few years ago. Meaning, the tech probably google earth my home, or had an original description from when I had it delivered years prior.
They tell me all they can do is schedule another appointment for a tech to come out. Now, I had already spent my entire Saturday in my house waiting for someone to show up, along with my husband, who had to take the day off from work. After they lied about someone coming to my house, they had to be kidding. They don't stand behind their product. It's made horribly. My chairs hardly get any use, and several of them have been broken. The insurance is a waste of money, as is buying anything at Bob's. Save yourself the money and aggravation.

We purchased the power reclining, non-leather loveseat and sofa along with the Goof proof plan in October 2015. The frame on the sofa cracked on the back of the couch. This has never happened to me with any other furniture that I have owned. The frame is a small piece of wood that is backing the piece and is extremely flimsy. I proceeded to call Bob's last week and explained what the problem was. They sent out a technician who was very nice. He called Bob's and spoke with a representative and explained the problem. He then said that he couldn't fix the issue and I had to speak with the representative.
This was frustrating considering I had explained the problem and now I was told I had to contact Guardian for warranty coverage. I then spoke with Guardian and they submitted a claim and denied it because it was under a year and Bob's warranty covers it. I then was connected with Bob's priority customer service, which apparently is different from the other customer service line. When I spoke with Peter from Boston, he said that this was not covered because it was considered an accident. They would do me the favor of swapping out the couch with a replacement as a one-time courtesy but if we wanted the goof-proof plan on the next couch we would have to purchase it again.
This felt completely incorrect. For one thing, they acted as if they were doing us a favor doing this "courtesy" when it should have been covered for a bad product. We asked for a supervisor after explaining why we didn't think this was acceptable, and the supervisor Tia waived the goof proof fee. It was very disheartening to see that they don't stand by their products without having to ask for a supervisor, for something that shouldn't break with normal usage. After this experience, it has left us feeling irritated with the amount of time and what felt like games just to fix our couch which shouldn't have broken in the first place within 6 months. I don't think I would ever purchase from them again.
