    I purchased a sofa two months ago and the leather is already peeling off. I called customers service to make a claim. I was told to go back to the store for a reselection. At the store I was told that they don't have any notes on the account. I call back customer services again and they told me to keep the merchandise, that all they can do is fix it. I don't want to keep a bad quality sofa in my apartment. Bob's has the worst customer service. The worst quality!!!

    I have a leather/pleather couch, loveseat and oversize chair. Last year the bottom cushions started peeling. I called and they sent a rep. out and he told me it was because a factory defect. They replaced the bottom cushions. Well everything but the bottom cushion's are peeling. It is disgusting. I called customer service, explained our situation. He told me because they came to the house once already, they don't send a serviceman out. He told me to email them the pictures and they should replace the set.

    I emailed the photo's and never heard back after I waited the 24-48 hours. I emailed them, called them nothing. Finally spoke to a rep. She told me I was not covered. I told her I wanted to speak to a manager, I was on hold for 15 min., then disconnected. Called again and young man put me on hold, about 10 min. came back and said his manager was busy and that her would call me back 24-48 hours. Never heard back so I called today. Waited another 10 minutes and spoke to a manager who told me there was nothing they could do. I asked her, "So what you are telling me is: Bob's sold me defective furniture, which is poor quality and I still have to pay for it?" She replied "YES".

    I bought a reclining sofa with the extended manufacture warranty and accidental damage warranty. After few months I noticed that the back side does not retreat when the sofa was locked to the original position. I called Bob's to file a claim. They told me that this is not a cover in the warranty. I asked to speak with the supervisor name: Tiffany operator ID ** and she told me that there is nothing they can do. I spend my saving on this. Now I have no place to sit and no money to buy another one. My advice is: Please DO NOT buys from this store. The products are built with low-grade cheap material and their extended warranty is a rip off. Stay away from Bob's.

    We purchased a Gianna 7-PC SOFA/LOVE/TBLS/LMPS (9121)-Article number 20020063 for $2490.95 cash on April 05, 2014. Within a few months we called Customer Service and file a complaint regarding a potential defect we noticed in the Love Sofa. A technician was sent to our resident and concluded that the sofa was indeed defective. Once his assessment was completed, the technician mentioned that another department would decide on the best course of action, and they would contact us.

    We waited for about three weeks but no one from Bob's Discount Furniture Store followed up as promised. We finally called to inquire about our claims only to be told that it was normal wear and tear, which caused the defect. This at first seems strange that another department decides root the cause of the defect was due to normal wear and tear. Needless to say we took this for granted and never followed up. After all, we are not expert! But we didn't feel justified with such a lame excuse. So finally we started to search the web regarding similar complaint about Bob's Furniture Stores in general.

    Now a year has pass and we decided to call again (hoping that we would have better luck) only to be told that we no longer have warranty coverage. This seems to be the norm of doing business base on the facts of some of the complaints I have read online. It is our hope that someone will look into this issue, and give our complaint more credence and either provide us with a full reimbursement, or a replacement soft. There is no way that normal wear and tear could cause such deformation in the material in such a short period (about two months after we purchased the sofa set) when we first reported the defect.

    I bought a dining set at Bob's with Goof protection. Totally crazy, the table top is peeling within 8 months of use and they declined to cover. The chair broke and reason was when they first fixed it, they over screwed it. 3 months still waiting for the part to come and get it fixed. They are the worst place to buy any of your furniture from. I have bought stuff from Big Lots and they have been in better shape.

    I ordered a dining set. First delivery they forgot the arm rest piece for 2 chairs. Week later 2 guys come. Take the 2 chairs and we're supposed to bring 2 new ones with the arm rest piece. As one of the guys took the chairs I saw from my window he threw the chairs to the truck and scratch it all up. Then he I decided to record a video after I saw that to see what was going to happen next. He starts installing the arm rest piece. To the old chairs after he scratched them. Long story short. I did not want the chairs back. He did not want to bring the new ones. Because they had broken them. I have the video that shows when they were installing the piece to the old chair because they had broken one. Extremely garbage service. I have the video. Too bad am unavailable to show the video here. Would really love to share what kind of service they provide. I was able to take some snap shots of the video of the guy putting the new piece on the scratch chair.

    Purchased a living room set, received a confirmation call and during that call was OFFERED "breakfast with bob'' - an early morning delivery service that would have my furniture delivered between 6:30 and 9:30 am. Perfect for my busy schedule. 2 days prior to delivery I get a call stating it's not a GUARANTEED service, but you offered it, confirmed with a manager then didn't keep up your end of the deal. Without hesitation when I complained their 1st responses was ''DO YOU WANT TO CANCEL THE ORDER?'' No I want you to make good on what was promised. Pay a little more at a REPUTABLE store. What a shame to visit the store 3 times, make a purchase, then find out you wasted all your time and the co will not keep their word.

    I purchased a queen bedroom set from Bob's Furniture in Monroeville, Pennsylvania on Thursday, July 9 and had delivery scheduled for Tuesday, July 14 between 12:15 pm-4:15 pm. Due to a family emergency I needed to travel away from home but made sure that I left in time to be home for delivery. I tracked my delivery the entire way home and with a 1/2 hr left of travel time it changed from giving me over an hour to get home to. They were there with the merchandise. I immediately called the customer service number and explained my dilemma. They were very rude! I was so enraged that I gave the phone to my daughter. They told her that they'd put in a request for them to come back after their current delivery because they weren't too far away and they would call on their return.

    Upon arriving home I rechecked the status of the delivery and it said DELIVERED! So I called the customer service number yet again and spoke with a different person who said that it would be impossible for her to get all the paperwork done for them to deliver today so she was taking it off the list! WHAT?! I told her that I'd need to think about whether or not I still wanted the furniture then and that I'd get back to her. She only said "ok" and hung up! Wow! My daughter found your site and after reading 3 pages of bad reviews I cancelled my order. I paid with a check so now I need to wait 16 days to get one back from the home office. After all this reading I sure hope that I get it all!

    I purchased a Five (5) year Goof Proof protection plan for $400.00. The plan clearly states that I could cancel anytime I cared to and receive a pro-rata refund. The plan was in force for six months. The earned premium then would be 400.00 x 6/60 = $50.00. Very simple calculation. When the refund finally arrived it was short by $120.00. It should be noted that during the six months the coverage was in force I never once made a claim. When I pointed out this outrageous conduct to the head office I was assured a check for the correct amount was in the mail. That was 10 days ago. I intend to seek counsel about looking into a Class Action claim because I believe there are thousands out there getting ripped off.

    I was moved my furniture away from the wall and didn't realize that there was a screw behind the wall. It hadn't left my house yet. I was moving it to my other resident. They said it wasn't covered because it was in transit. It had not left my house. It happened when I moved it away from the wall. Also the insurance covers pet accidents and because it wasn't a single incident of them urinating on the couch they wouldn't cover it.

    The side plank on the bed I purchased in December 2013 broke down and I tried to contact customer service to have it replaced. Since I also have the Goof Proof Plus I was referred to the manufacturer. I was simply sent from the drawer to the wall. My Bob's determined the pictures that I sent was not a manufacturing defect. The manufacturer informed that they would not replace either because I was just laying on the bed which is not an accident. This I dispute because I hurt my back. I am highly disappointed that I have been mislead in taking the Goof Proof Plus plan because I dispute that this is a manufacturing defect and that someone has to replace my bed for which I paid my hard earned money for. I will never purchase from my Bob's again.

    Bob's furniture is garbage and you shouldn't buy his goof proof protection because it is just a scam. You get absolutely nowhere when calling their customer service line and they make you look like you broke the furniture on purpose. Really now. We bought a bedroom set in August 2014 and the drawer just fell apart. Bunk beds, the top beds panels broke holding it up. Full size mattress, springs are popping out. Bed frame broke and bed panel bent. Seriously I should get all my money back. Took all the receipts to the store. Asked to speak to manager but of course the girl at front desk insisted on helping me. Did she, absolutely not. So disgusted. They should close all his stores and give people back their money or at least try to help and resolve and fix the furniture. Don't look at me as though I have 10 heads. My advice to all consumers: STAY AWAY FROM BOB'S FURNITURE. We went to the one in Nesconset, NY.

    I purchased a sofa and chaise sometime in 2013 from Bob's. I generally do not purchase insurance but decided to do so this time. One evening upon my arrival from work I noticed the arm of the couch was flat. I asked my son if he knew what happened and he said he had no idea. My son at the time was 16 and not prone to jumping or sitting on arms of chairs so I assumed there was something else that had caused the problem with the arm. I contacted Bob's and after waiting on hold like most places for an extended period of time I scheduled a technician to come out and take a look.

    About 2 weeks later someone arrived (timing due to my schedule and theirs). He flipped the couch over and basically told me it was not a factory defect. He noted the legs were not screwed on properly and proceeded to fix that but also broke the wooden mechanism which my husband had designed to keep the couch from sliding back. I did not notice this until after he had left. I called Bob's again to find out what my next step should be and they advised I should call Guardian. Unfortunately I did not do this immediately because I work everyday and cannot afford to take time off during the week to have someone come in. The Guardian offices are only open during the week so in order to speak with them you have to take time out during your day to wait on hold with them to seek an appointment.

    I will accept the blame for waiting a while before calling in again, however the fact that Bob's has a record of when I called in and indicates there was a problem, the couch did not get more damaged since Bob's visit so I am not certain what difference the time makes in when I made the call. At any rate I believe I am getting the run around since both Bob's and Guardian received their money. I am now stuck with a couch that is less than 3 years old with a deflated arm. The last couch I purchased from Macy's no less lasted me 20 years. I would never buy anything again from Bob's and caution others to thoroughly check the quality of the furniture delivered. :-(

    In June of 2014 I purchased a mattress from Bob's Furniture in Woburn, MA for approximately $2,000. I was given an interest free offer, which I took. Since then I have made monthly payments of approx. $70 per month. On June 26th, my statement from Wells Fargo (with Bob's logo on the top) said there was a NEW INTEREST CHARGE OF $542.47. I thought this was a mistake, so I called the number listed on the bill for Wells Fargo. I first talked to a representative who said the charge was valid. She then let me talk to her supervisor who said the same thing. My balance went from $1,281.05 to $1,753.71 basically overnight, because of a retroactive 28% annual interest charge on the original purchase amount.

    After some research, I found that many other people were caught by this highly deceptive sales technique. Had I been informed properly at the time of purchase, I would have never taken the so-called "interest free" loan option. I called Bob's directly and told them my story. They said that the contract warned me, so there was nothing they would do for me. My advice to anyone purchasing furniture, NEVER CONSIDER BOB'S FURNITURE. They willingly trick their customers into paying exorbitant retroactive interest amounts. Even when confronted, they are not concerned with customer satisfaction or fairness.

    You see, I am the working poor and I am a single parent of special needs child. I needed something that was reasonable, durable but also looked appealing. I felt that leather would be my best option---I didn't want fabric. Well, my sister recommended Bob's to me some time ago but I was hesitant regarding the quality so I had decided to give it a try since it was in my budget. During my purchase, I was convinced that the goof proof certificate will be my savior shall I have any damage. Boy I really wished I'd read the certificate thoroughly before purchase!!!

    Sad to say, I will not ever purchase furniture from Bob's again. The first set of furniture I had purchased was a kitchen table and TV Armoire for my 50 inch. After a couple of months, the armoire started to form bubbles. I was shocked and didn't realize what was happening but didn't bother calling Bob's because I wasn't too concerned at the time...and was sort of pleased. The next set of furniture I had purchased was the 2-piece leather set---couch and sofa. I'd had even purchased expensive covering to protect what I thought was "leather".

    After about 2 years, I noticed that the "leather" started to bubble and then there was a slight peel like WTF? That's when I had decided to call Bob's to see if I can utilize my goof proof "LIFETIME" warranty certificate. Well, what a freaking joke! When I had called, the customer rep was so rude and blurted out "WE DON'T COVER PEELS!" Nothing... I had asked why? She repeated "WE JUST DON'T COVER PEELS ONLY PUNCTURES. LOOK AT YOUR CERTIFICATE." I had became very frustrated by her tone and wanted more information as to why they do not covered peel and she said she didn't know.

    I was horrified. I immediately scanned through my "so-called goof proof" certificate and it is written in fine print--- No peels! I was furious! I had been haggled! It became obviously clear that they do not cover peels specifically because they know their furniture will peel in a short matter of time. As time progressed, my sofas began to peel profusely even while covered! Now both sofas look as if they had come from a junk yard--I am so embarrassed. But, this is a lesson learned. ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT. NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN WILL I SHOP AT BOB's. BEWARE! NEVER TRUST A MAN WHO MONOPOLIZES HIS COMMERCIAL TIME BY ONLY USING HIMSELF OR FAMILY MEMBERS AS ACTORS. HMMM...

    I bought a table from my Bob's. In a couple of months, the painted top layer started to peel. I called my Bob's to fix it as it's within 1 year of manufacture warranty. They redirected me to call Guardian Insurance. Guardian asked me to share the photos and when I shared, they said it's manufacturer defect and they asked me to contact Bob's. Bob's representative came and he told that Bob's won't cover as it's not a manufacturer defect. We got shocked as it's been just 2 months.. I got frustrated with the response.

    After a year, I just spilled some nail polish mistakenly on the table.. I called Guardian to fix it.. The first claim was redirected to Bob's, but to eat my hard earned money of 37$, those money eating machines clubbed my prior claim to this and said that it's rejected; I didn't get any call from Guardian for a couple of weeks. When I followed up, they simply said "Claim rejected". I asked for a written statement stating the claim is rejected, but they said they can't do that. I asked them to show the clause where they are referring to the statement of rejection.. They talked for 45 min and didn't tell anything on clause.

    If Bob's and Guardian want money, they can add 37$ more to the table and make it as 237$ instead of 200$. Why the hell are you charging Insurance and eating my money. YOU ARE JUST SELLING STUFFS WHICH IS WORST, BAD, NOT WORTHY. If you have enough guts, put the clause in this forum for rejection and I will really appreciate for your due diligence in claims processing.

    Bought four pieces of matching furniture: TV stand, coffee table, and two end tables. After waiting a couple of weeks, the furniture came into the store for pick up. We drove 45 min. to get the pieces, and finally got them loaded. After driving back home, we unpacked the items and discovered that the coffee table was broken in several places. We have a PU. The boxes were lying flat and there was no damage to the outside of the boxes. I called the Customer Care Hotline and was practically accused of breaking the table myself. Then I asked to return one of the side tables that was still in the box upon discovering that they would not fit in the living room. After a lengthy discussion, they said to keep the table until they call with a replacement order, but I had to pay for a delivery fee for the new table.

    I refused and said I would bring back the broken one and the return item (unopened) when the new one came in. Eight days later I drove back 45 min. to get the new table. After waiting an hour to load the replacement, they refused to take back the unopened side table saying that I only had three days to return it. I told them why I waited until their damaged table was exchanged, and they said they could not take back the unopened item. I called the Customer Care-less Hotline to speak with a hateful lady who kept telling me the same thing, regardless of my circumstance (Reading from a script I assume).

    I left with the new coffee table but without getting a refund for the end table. Not only is the furniture sold at Bob's a ripoff, but it is poorly made in Vietnam. The quality is not "discount" standards... It is pure junk assembled by unskilled slave labor and not worthy of being used in a hunting shanty. I will never buy anything from Bob's again as long as I live, and hope anyone reading this review will heed my advice and not spend your hard earned money at this ripoff store. If you want junk, buy from Wal-Mart or IKEA, where at least you pay very little for crummy furniture, rather than getting suckered into the Bob's scam.

    I visited the Bob's furniture store at Warwick, RI today evening on 6/19. I was looking for a couch which I was checking out if it fits into my door. After I figured out it will I sat on it for once and pursued buying it, finally.. I didn't like the couch after carefully checking it out the second time as I didn't feel comfortable with it after all, and when the sales guy figured out that I won't buy that couch he treated me poorly for not buying it. He could have been more professional with a customer who didn't buy their furniture but he did not choose to be. :( I was unhappy with their poor customer service.

    Save yourself and you'll thank this review later. Ignore this review and you'll remember this review in a few months. VERY Bad quality furniture. People would say you get what you pay... it's a discount store after all. BUT, here you get much less for what you pay! My furniture broke within a few months of use. Goof Plus is a big lie!!! Yes, I bought it. They make you think that between Accidental damage (via Guardian) and Manufacture warranty for 5 years you have peace of mind. It's quite the opposite. Call Guardian and they will ask you to call customer service. Call customer service and they'll ask you to call Guardian. Between the two they'll find reasons to not service you. Yes, happened with me.

    Bob's business model is to go for people who want stylish furniture without paying the price for a stylish furniture. There is no free Lunch! Don't fall into the TRAP! Go buy something inexpensive now and save up to buy later from someplace that's worth it! If you cannot afford a good store now, but from IKEA, Walmart or one of the warehouses clubs. You'll at least not be sorry for what you paid (which will be much less). If you read this far and decided to ignore... we'll meet again in your thoughts in a few months. :)

    I bought the protection plan under the understanding that any damage would be covered, as this is what the representative stated. Three years later the couch began to fall apart, rips, springs popping, etc. and when I called in my claim about this, it was denied. It was stated the damage is due to wear and tear. Well if I knew nothing would be covered, I wouldn't have bought this extended coverage. I feel they are overselling their protection plan at the buyer's expense. The gentleman that came out to assess the damages was nice enough to fix the tears, but the cushions remain with spring damage.

    My wife and I had been strapped for cash and I was out on disability but we needed a dining room set as my kids are getting older and now can sit at the table. We loved our old set but it was coming apart. We bought it at another local store. We went to Bob's with a set amount in mind. We picked a table with granite and six chairs with cheap leather. Within two months we replaced the chairs with real leather chairs. The "granite" began to peel and revealed nothing but cheap plastic underneath. We knew that the title was "discount" but this is crazy. The quality is horrible. We ended up replacing the dining room with a set bought at Ikea - two years it is still hanging on.

    I wouldn't give any star for Bob's Furniture's customer service. The delivery guys were rude, so I called the customer service in Lowell Massachusetts to talk to the manager and telling them about that; however they didn't let me doing so and the representative herself didn't show the sympathy but even raised her voice towards me. First of all; the quality isn't great, so I expected the delivery and customer service to be somewhat helpful, but it turned out to be very very poor.

    Second of all; I've spent thousands dollars at the store but as a result I got a very disappointed service and their teams paid none attention about the matters. Then what is the point to have a customer survey team calling and asking customers about their services? All in all, I personally do not think they should have that kind of survey if they are going to ignore customer's comments anyway. We already purchased and paid them; money in their hands, I could see why they could care less about customer's concerns.

    5/28/15 - I would give no stars because I am very disappointed in what happened with Bob's, but I am not an angry person! Placed the order online for the Mercury Left Arm Facing Sectional and ottoman and the Sophie Swivel Chair, and immediately paid for it with my AMEX card. This was a gift for our son. After order was placed, a gentleman calls and gives the days that are available for delivery and Tuesday, 6/2/15 was agreed upon. We had our son take off from work to wait for delivery and at 2 pm no one from Bob's has called or shown up.

    Called Bob's and a man who answered the phone says the guy who promised the delivery date "never took the block off" and there was never a delivery day set on their end. When was this error ever going to be noticed or rectified by Bob's? When asked when the order could be delivered again, he told my wife, "a week from today, 6/9/15". My wife waited on hold for 20 mins and 26 seconds for a supervisor to come on the phone for help. Why should we have to wait a week when it was their mistake and we needed the furniture? ** (supervisor) finally answered the phone. ** was sweet and tried to help, but all she could do was deliver it on Friday, 6/5/15. She mentioned some sort of compensation and could not tell my wife what it was until the furniture was delivered and then compensation could be discussed.

    This practice left us uneasy. Tell us what the compensation is and then maybe it will be worth our while to wait and be inconvenienced. My son now has to take another day off from work to accommodate their error for another delivery date if we decide not to cancel the order. The mistake was clearly on their end. We now do not have any furniture because the room was emptied to accommodate the new sectional couch and chair. VERY disappointed in their customer service and not delivering their product as promised. If Bob really cared about his customers, the furniture would have been delivered today or by tomorrow the latest and we would not have to wait more days for it to come. When we spoke about cancelling the order, we were to call the Brooklyn store.

    The saying proves right with Bob's Discount Furniture: you get what you pay for. I purchased a mattress and had it delivered today. When purchasing the mattress, my girlfriend and I were told by the sales staff that the delivery fee we were paying was for delivery and haul away of our old mattress. We do not have a truck so having the haul away was a very important part of our decision to have it delivered. Upon arrival, the mattress was set up and then the movers informed us that the box spring was dirty and they could not take it and that the mattress was inside a plastic mattress cover so they could not take it. Upon removing the cover, they said it too was dirty and they could not take it.

    I spoke with their supervisor and it was explained to me that I paid for delivery only and that haul-away was strictly a courtesy and could be denied for any reason. No apology was given for their actions and that there was no way they could refund all or part of my delivery fee. I requested to speak with her supervisor and upon speaking with the supervisors, they refused to so much as apologize for their sales team deceiving my girlfriend and I when we purchased the delivery service, much less provide any restitution so that I can rent a truck to dispose of my mattress.

    I remained parked in front of their delivery truck while on the phone with them and was told that they were contacting the POLICE because I would not move my vehicle from my own driveway. The staff at Bob's would rather waste the time of our law enforcement officers instead of simply refunding all or part of my delivery fee so that I could take care of, myself, what I paid them to take care of when I purchased my mattress. Upon requesting to talk to their public relations department or a supervisor, I was told that there was nobody else that I could speak to and they ceased speaking to me.

    In summary, Bob's may have discount furniture but when it comes to customer service, they are rude, do not care about the customer experience, will not stand behind the actions and words of their sales staff and are downright hostile by threatening to contact law enforcement. This was my first and will most certainly be my last purchase from Bob's Discount Furniture, as I do not do business with companies that lie to you in order to make a sale.

    I purchased about $2000 worth of furniture including a bed frame, mattress, sofa, and two dressers from Bob's in October 2012. I also purchased the "goof proof" protection plan on both the bed frame and the sofa. I'll start by talking about the bed. About a year after I had bought the furniture my bed completely collapsed while I was sleeping in it. I was pretty upset seeing as the bed was only a year old and I called Bob's to fix it. They indeed came to fix it without too much hassle. About 7 months later the bed collapsed again in all the places that had previously been "fixed" plus some new areas. The bed was less than 2 years old, it should not have been falling apart. I called Bob's again but this time they told me that I was not eligible for the goof proof protection because it seemed like my bed had manufacturing issues, even though they had come to fix it the first time for the same reasons.

    After getting hung up and calling back a few times they finally transferred me to manufacturing, where I was told that they would also not fix it because the 1 year warranty had already expired. They did offer to send someone out to look at it... in 3 weeks. So basically expected to sleep in a completely broken bed for 3 weeks until they came in person to tell me they couldn't fix it. I ended up just tossing the entire bed and bought a quality one from a competing store. On to the couch. Within a month of getting the couch, two of the cushion zippers broke. Throughout the time I have had the couch its seams have split in several places. I also have pets that have caused some stains on the couch. Once again I called Bob's because all of these problems are covered under my goof proof plan. After explaining the situation several times I was placed on hold for 28 minutes.

    When the customer service rep "**" returned he told me that would not fix any of the problems I was having because I did not call them every time something had happened and that I had originally tried to repair the splits myself. I was furious. I had paid a good amount of money for this extra "protection" and they have basically refused to honor any request that I have had. Bottom line... shop somewhere else. Somewhere with quality furniture and helpful customer service. I will never again give a dime of my money to Bob's cheap furniture outlet and I suggest that anyone else looking to buy furniture do the same.

    I suspect Bob's Furniture of a bait and switch scheme when I purchased my chair. On April 15, 2015, I went to the Seabrook location of Bob's Discount furniture to purchased the Bronson Big man Rocker Recliner as I had seen on the Web site. The chair I wanted was on the floor and it swiveled and it was great. The sale went smoothly with sales rep, **. Delivery was scheduled for April 22. It rained all day on April 22. When the delivery arrived on April 22, the men removed the box from the truck and attempted to move it in the door. It didn't fit. They set it in a puddle and removed the cardboard, dropping the chair bottom in the puddle. One delivery man picked up the bottom while the other struggled to get the back out of the cardboard. He too set the back in the puddle. Once the chair was set up, I knew the color was incorrect.

    At the time of purchase, the chair came in two colors, chestnut that is now advertised as the only color and a much lighter color which is the one I received. http://www.mybobs.com/living-room-furniture/collections/bronson - this is the one I paid for and never received. I went to the company and ** told me I should not have to have a chair that was dropped in a puddle. She also implied that I should be very happy with the chair since it took 6 weeks to get the color I had. (I would have been had I wanted the color.) I asked ** if I could purchase the chair on the floor since it suited me perfectly because it swiveled. She told me that they didn't sell floor models. I doubted that but took her word for it... until I left the store and found a white etagere marked as a floor sample for sale.

    She scheduled a delivery and exchange for April 29 between 8 am -12 pm. I informed her that both my husband and I had appointments during the morning hours. She asked if we didn't have someone 18+ to take the order. I wasn't comfortable with someone else taking the order that was incorrect in the beginning and knew nothing about what was to be done. I told her no. That ended the conversation. I have made several phone calls to Customer Service asking to get the correct chair which were a waste of time. They shuffled me from one area to another. I called the store and received the same shuffle. I still have the incorrect chair. I am convinced they used the chair that is supposed to be the Bronson Big Man Rocker Recliner that swivels as a bait and switch.

He left with the report saying that we were getting a call within 5 days which we never did, so I called back to find out. It turned out that the tech gave a different report saying that there was nothing wrong with the sectional and nothing could be done.

    We purchase furniture thru Bob's and it had to go in for repairs 3 times because it was falling apart in the first 6 months. Then it was falling apart again and they tell us that the time is up getting it fixed yet we still have another year left on the payments. My wife wants to cancel the payments on it but I care about her credit so I said no. Bob's has the worst furniture I have ever seen.

    Bob's delivery service should be called "Lip SERVICE". After assuring an AM delivery, they contacted me 3 separate times to change the delivery to the PM. Even after speaking with the store manager the evening prior, the next morning (after getting up at 6 am) they called and told me they won't be there until after 12 noon as I'm viewing their online tracking that indicated a 8 am ETA. WHAT CRAP! They never were going to do a morning delivery. I then told them not to bother and cancel the order and I want to close my Bob's account. I plan to return to the store and "discuss" this with the salesperson within earshot of other customers. All consumers should remember, they need you, you don't need them.

    I had a set of furniture from Jordan's furniture for ten years!! It was great and held up good seeing I have three kids and a dog. But needed new furniture and was being cheap and wanted to save money. SO!!! Bought a set of furniture from Bob’s Discount Furniture and thought twice about it because of the price was so cheap!!! Guess what? Furniture was so cheap. Bought recliners and they separated in the first week.

    They sent a guy out that barely spoke English. He took the top off it and bent it and said its good. I laughed and was like ok. But at least I had a warranty!! Right!! Month later I called to get it fixed again and they said it was wear and tear. I told them, it was like that when I got it. They were no help!!! Waste of money. Helpful hint. Save your money and sit on your floors until you have enough to go to a place that Make good furniture. Like Jordan's or some other furniture store.

    I purchased a set of bonded leather sofa, loveset and ottoman set from Bob's Discount Furniture. The salesman pushed the bonded leather better to clean, longer lasting etc. I also purchased the Goof Proof. I paid approximately $2,100.00 for the set. I first noticed that it was peeling and had a small cut after about 4 years. I called the insurance company and they basically told me that I had to make my claim immediately upon noticing the damages - it was too late not sure when it started and how long it was going on. I explained it's just my husband and I, no children, I travel frequently for work and did not notice the damages. They could not help me, I called the store they also refused the claim - the furniture was four years old a few months from 5 years... they told me to call the Goof Proof people. Needless to say I didn't get anywhere and gave up.

    My mother was visiting this week and asked why I covered my leather furniture with Sure Fit covers - I explained, she was really furious. She reminded me that she has leather furniture in her living room from before I first got married over 20 years ago and they are still like new. My furniture is only 7 years old now and it's really in horrible shape - the seats sags, the leather is all peeled. The furniture is a disgrace and an embarrassment when we have guest. I didn't expect it to last forever but certainly not fall apart after 54 months. Again we don't have children jumping on the furniture - one small dog that can not climb on the couches and we are working all day... very little wear and tear. My mother asked me to write this and make my case - nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thank you.

    I purchased a sofa and chair from Bob's and was persuaded to purchase the "Goof Proof Plan" that would cover "everything" if "anything" should happen to the furniture. So fast forward 4 years and the springs in the cushion are starting to bulge, but have not yet ripped through the upholstery. Bob's technician came by two weeks later to check it and make a report and then said I would have to file a claim through Guardian's (aka the goof proof plan). I had to wait until Monday as Guardian only has business hours Monday-Friday and when I spoke to the person over at Guardian and gave my report she informed me that because the cushions were not attached to anything they were not responsible for this. Even though their website says they cover breakage of springs and tears. Both of which is going to be the end result here. So $99 for insurance is wasted.

    I purchased a sectional from Bob's.. not cheap costing me 2,523.93! The sensational sectional with sleeper sofa.... now discontinued.. I wonder why?? We started noticing that the cushion on the sleep sofa would slip out the second you sit on it and my mother even fell off of it onto the floor because the cushion slips out when sleeping on it. I called Bob's tech to come out. He stated "that's normal..." I don't know many people who would purchase a sofa that when sitting on it would slide right out.. I don't see how this is normal. The tech put a piece of foam under it and told me that should help.... which of course it didn't. Every time you would get up you would have to shove the cushion back in.. I called back and told them the foam didn't help.. so a tech came out a second time and again stated "that just happens."

    That answer was unacceptable to me so I called Bob's and spoke with a manager who told me "that's normal!" So I said "I just have to deal with sliding off my couch when I lay down and shoving the cushion in every time someone sits..." Manager's answer was "unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it."I asked to swap it for another piece but of course it was discontinued and not considered a defect. So again no answers no resolution and thousands of dollars down the drain. I will never again purchase from Bob's, the low quality crap furniture that you will pay an arm and leg... and horrible customer care.

    My husband and I purchased a mattress, platform bed stand and stand up dresser from Bob's Thursday, 10/9. We were scheduled to have it delivered on Tuesday, 10/14. My husband waited home for the delivery all day. He called several times that day to inquire when they would arrive. The time kept going later on their delivery tracker on the website until around 5 pm when it said it was delivered. The only problem was, we never received the delivery. My husband called their customer service line and was told they had come to a road closure in our area and were unable to figure out a way around it, even though there are clearly marked detour signs in the area, so they marked it delivered and just turned around and went home.

    The customer service agent scheduled a new delivery date for us the next day, despite my husband telling them we had no bed to sleep on for the night. The next day our delivery came but there were spots all over the mattress. We kept it that day but told then we wanted it replaced, just so we would have a place to sleep. They said they couldn't replace it that day, we would have to get it delivered the next day, which was now Thursday 10/16. We finally did get it delivered. However, we had to wait 3 days, which meant my husband had to wait home instead of being able to work those days. They offered us a partial refund in the form of a gift card. I would like it credited to my credit card instead though for all the trouble we've been through.

They advised me it would take about 30 days for delivery. About 2 weeks later I went to Bob's again and ordered a living room set to match the table. This time I paid with my AMEX and they again advised me it will take about 30 days for delivery.

    When they delivered the table everything went wrong. Not only was it the wrong table but they also forgot the base of the table. The delivery guy refused to take it back and said we accepted delivery. While on the phone with customer service the delivery man took off unknowingly. Irate, we dealt with customer service for 48 hours with no rectification. They left the marble table top in the middle of my living room and chairs everywhere, knowing it was hazardous, they still refused to pick it up. I am 7 months pregnant and bought these items to host family for a baby shower event. Until this day I have yet to be reimbursed for either purchase.

    Bought this sofa on July 2013. After 18 months we see the cushions are fully sinking and we feel like almost sitting on the frame of the sofa! The springs are no more able to hold you up. When we reported this issue in Feb 2015, a service technician from Bob's visited and checked. He did not even sat on the sofa to test. He just used his hands to test how cushions are and told that this Sofa is not being manufactured anymore and this cannot be serviced also. When checked with him about the replacement, he said "It is not possible!" Before he left, he also gave us a kind of warning that we have to be little careful when we sit, because the spring could pop out any time!

    When further called the Customer Care (couple of times), to follow up, we were told that "Service Technician reported this issue as 'Normal wear and tear' and hence not covered under any warranty!" I am not sure how a defective spring is not a 'manufacturing defect'. In fact, when I bought this sofa, I was pushed by the Sales Rep to purchase 'Good Proof Plus', by paying additional $50. This Good Proof Plus is supposed to cover the Sofa up to 5 Years. Now, after 18 months, with a spring defect being classified as 'normal wear and tear', I have absolutely no support from Bob's. If Bob's Product is not able to withstand to its quality up to 5 years, I am not sure why they sell a warranty for 5 year! Finally, Along with the money I paid for Sofa, additional 'Good Proof Plus' cost I paid is also in vain.

    My recommendation - avoid purchasing from Bob's. Even if you decide to buy from them for some reason, at least save your money by not buying their additional warranty, so called, 'Good Proof Plus'. From my experience, I am sure, they are going to find a way not to support you, if you need their help, after your purchase!

In the first year we had a problem with the motor on one part of the sofa which they never did fix correctly. Now the handle to pull out the reclining part of one end of the sofa broke and I was told that the goof proof warranty covers manufacturer defects for the first year and accidental for the rest. We would have to pay for someone to come out and take a look and maybe he or she would be able to fix it but if not then parts would be ordered and a return trip needed.

Initially one piece was being delivered relatively soon and the second piece was coming like 9 days later. Yesterday the store called to tell us that the first piece was coming the following day which was Tuesday and the second piece was changed to Wednesday.

Both pieces were ordered incorrectly. I called the manager and he was the least bit helpful so we decided to get our money returned. He said because we paid cash, we had to wait two to four weeks for a check to be sent in the mail which will leave us without anything until then. He was the least bit accommodating.

    I called the 1800 customer service number and I explained everything and the agent kept saying we must have communicated with sales person wrong so I asked for a manager.

    I purchased two power recliners at Bob's in 2012 and started noticing cracks and peeling in the pleather of the armrests in February 2015. I called Goof Proof to get them repaired and was told that what I was describing was not covered, even after sending in photos. Mind you that this was after waiting two and a half weeks for a call back to see whether I was getting a repair or not. The first time I called they denied the claim because I said I had a "scratch" rather than a rip and they said only rips were covered. The small rip became bigger and I called again and asked if I could send pictures because it started to look like a rip and I could see the foam underneath. I was told to send in pictures and wait for a call back. Of course, I never received a call back and had to call them myself.

    I called today and spoke to a representative who first told me that the furniture would not be covered because I did not provide a reason as to what caused the damage, so I told her that the damage was mostly in an area where I would lean at times with my elbow. Then she told me that it sounded like wear and tear and that they did not cover those types of repairs. I was told at Bob's that the warranty covered defects and accidents when I purchased it, so I thought I was covered.

    Needless to say, the pleather on the recliners crack easily as they stretch and peel off the foam molding of the armrests. I take really good care of my furniture, I shouldn't be seeing this type of damage so soon. Save yourselves some headaches and do not purchase any pleather from Bob's. Don't buy their warranty either. Goof Proof makes it a habit of doing their best to deny your claim. This is the second time I buy a piece of furniture from them and am unsatisfied with the purchase. When Bob's initially opened I purchased great furniture from them but it seems they are no longer worried about the quality of furniture they are selling their customers.

    This warranty is a scam!!! They tell you everything is cover when you buy but when something happen, surprise, surprise whatever you reporting is an "exception" not covered. They said cover accidental damage. My kid was playing and he ripped the liner of the ottoman. I called them. They said, "The interior of the furniture is an exception not covered." Few months later the leather start peeling of and cracking plus is getting bluish. Again I call them. They said "All damages are the leathers are covered BESIDE peeling and cracking." WTF!!! This people should go in jail. No question asked!!!

    On 3/10/2015 (Tuesday) my furniture was delivered and unfortunately did not fit through my door. I called and cancelled my order. I was told by the Customer Service Rep that my money will be refunded immediately. The next day I called because the money wasn't credited. I was told that it takes 2-3 days to complete the process. On Saturday I called again, and was told it takes 3-5 days, my bank was holding it, and a few other tales. On Monday 3/16 I called again and was assured that it was completed and will be available by the next day. On Wednesday the 18th I contacted the complaint department and was told that (according to her review) the money was refunded on 3/15. And it would take 3-5 days for the money to be credited to my account.

    It has now been 2 weeks and I am without furniture and without the money to purchase the furniture because Bob's is HOLDING my money for no reason!! I will not go into the lies by the salespeople, the rude delivery driver, or the incompetent manager, etc. I am so aggravated at this point. They do not want to see me at the store, yet they continue to lie and blow me off about receiving my refund.

    I purchased an electric recliner back in 2012. It was working great until suddenly it stopped working. I called for a technician to come and was told I would receive a phone call within 48 hours to confirm the time the technician would come. I never received a call and reached out to customer service after a few days and they finally gave me a date and time. The technician came told me I needed a new part and left.

    I ordered the part and have been waiting two weeks for it to arrive. I have been contacting customer service daily and the reps all have no idea what they are doing. I always get different response when I call. One person said they sent the part to my old address, which was a lie because all of my mail is being forwarded to my new address. Then they said the part was out of stock. Then they said they reshipped the part but have no way of tracking it. Needles to say I have yet to receive the part, have no idea where it is or when and if I will receive it at all. I have already paid for the part so I hope it will in fact arrive and I don't have to call and be lied to by the reps yet again. I will never purchase another product from Bob's.

    I purchased the Montibello Pearl Pub table and chair set. The leg on one of my chairs cracked. I called Bob's and they told me to call GoofProof. But GoofProof wasn't willing to fix (another scam through Bob's). So, I call back Bob's and am told to take a pic of the piece and email it. I do so, but NEVER receive a call back. So I call them after a good week. I'm told they could reorder the piece but it will take 30 days. I wait the 30+ days and still nothing. I call back and am told the piece is scheduled for delivery on JUNE 1st... JUNE??? Are you kidding me???

    You're telling me it takes 4 months to get just a piece delivered. So I demanded to speak with a manager, but of course none was available, so I told them how ridiculous all this is especially since I was originally told 30 days... I told them I now want a whole new chair. They gave me a delivery date of 3/27, we'll see what happens then. To be continued... BTW, I wish I had read all the comments on here prior to purchasing from BOB's. I never would have gone there if I had. And I spent over $3,000 there.

Went to the store in Springfield PA and spoke with store manager, reschedule delivery for a time of between 8:15 and 9:30. "We promise....." what a joke.

    They showed up 11:15, and the furniture was going to the basement. They refused to take down there and they also seem not very interested in putting the furniture down the basement, so we refused the furniture. And the way they took the furniture off the truck was..... get this "dropped off of truck and slide on ground from the street to my driveway....."

    We bought a sofa and loveseat set on October 2012 for 1,198. We were told that it was leather. We didn't use them that much bec. we always stayed in our rooms. We moved 3 weeks ago and they got scratched. They said it was not Included in the plan bec. it happened bec. of the move. Although they were accidental. Likewise we reported that the fabric which they said were leather which turned out to be vinyl got stretched out just for using them on a regular basis for 2 weeks to the point that some parts even got torn. The cushions got soft and the arm rests got loose. Again they said that these are not covered bec. this is regular wear and tear. Plus they say I couldn't file a claim for more than one problem.

    But while I was telling them about the damages on the set, the lady kept on asking if that's it and she never told me that I can only file a Claim for one incident. So that alone shows bad intent. It proves they don't want the claim to be approved. So what does this goof proof plan cover? Basically nothing. I called my Bob's directly and told them what happened. I was on the phone for more than 40 minutes (shorter than the 1 hour and 11 mins. With the goof plan lady) and they told me they couldn't do anything about it. They said if I dropped a knife on it by accident, that would have been covered. But when they sold us that goofy thing they said it would cover any damage on the supposed leather for 5 yrs. I was so frustrated and so mad that I told the guy that this goof plan is a scam. That they just want the customer's money. They don't care that we worked hard for that. And we trusted them. Only to be fooled.

    At the end I was so mad that I was shouting at him and I told him I was going to report them and I will tell everybody I know not to buy anything from them and that I hoped their Company close so that they will also lose their job. I know I was wrong but when you find out that you have been scammed, probably You will also react that way. But I do hope that this company gets punished for this. So that there will Be no more victims. Unfortunately I didn't find out about this before my daughter bought a sofa set of her own also with the goofy thing. I do hope proper authorities will look into this. Thank you.

    I purchased a Bob-O-Pedic bed in 2007, due to my health issues. I had a bilateral hip replacement. I have severe multi-disc degenerative disc disease & was also told I will need a knee replacement soon. The bed was over $1,000, however, I felt it was worth it since it was extremely difficult for me to lie in bed & watch t.v. or even get up in the morning. I really loved this bed. It was exactly what I needed, so when the remote failed to work 7 years later I was frantic. I purchased new batteries & those failed to work as well. When I called Bob's & they said they would send a tech. out at n/c I knew I was in for a LARGE BILL - why else would they send someone out at no charge.

    Sure enough, the repairman came out, said my remote system wasn't working. The manufacturer no longer made that remote & I would have to purchase a completely new one for Over $500.00!!! That is 1/2 of what I paid for the bed! My brother has an adjustable bed that needed a remote. He paid $95.00, go figure. No he didn't go to Bob’s. Moral of the story, that's how Bob’s continue to open more stores!! Don't trust Bob!!! He never gave me a copy of the warranty & if you read it, they interpret it the way they want to.

My husband had to take Off work to be here. No one called us to cancel or notify us of anything for that matter.

My husband already took my kids' beds apart and I explained to them my kids can't sleep on the floor for 5 days. This was putting us out.

    I spoke to a manager and was told they would fit us in for Saturday (2 days) from now and that someone will call me in 24 hours of the time. Received a call this am stating that they can't fit me in and we're back to Tuesday. I was told it was definite for Saturday but apparently not. I am extremely frustrated. This isn't a dining room set, it is a set of bunk beds for my kids and they don't care that they have nowhere to sleep.

    Waiting for my son, I perused Bob's Furniture store and found a kitchen island, at a reduced price, because of a small crack in the granite top. I figured I could have covered the crack up. They will hold an item 24 hours if you pay for it. However, I had to work and knew I couldn't come back until 4 days. The salesperson I was dealing with got the manager, so I can show her which island I was interested in; I waited for her to return with her business card: Fifteen minutes later, she returned without her card. She then passed me off to a third person. After 5 minutes, I actually got his card.

    I called to ensure the piece was still available. I specifically mentioned the piece with the natural wood island with a small crack in the black granite top. The salesperson told me she was looking right at it and asked me when I would be there. I told her I had a two hour ride to get there. When I arrived the island that was there did not have the small crack on the granite top, instead it had a gash about four long by two inches wide near the top of the island. Clearly noticeable! They also had another one this style that had its doors missing. The salesperson tried to convince me that this one would be ok if he could get someone in the warehouse to drill the hinge back on. The hinge would go right where there was a gash about four inches long by 1/2 to 1 inch. This clearly would affect the stability of the hinge someone were able to attach the door again.

    I was not a happy camper that I drove 2 hours to purchase and pick up an item that I called to ensure they still had, when in fact they did not have the item any longer. If the woman had listened carefully and actually checked out the item, she could have noticed that the two they had, did not have the small cracks, but rather had large issues. The store manager did not handle the situation well either. She was standoffish and told me she had other ones in stock. I know I'll never go back!

    My family bought with warranty a sleeper couch and chair from Bob's in March 2011. At first all was well. That August we purchased a pleather recliner/chair with warranty. A year later the pleather started to peel off the recliner. We called the service number and a serviceman came and asked us if we had animals. Once we said yes to a cat, they told us it was our cat who did the damage and would not honor the warranty. A few months later the sleeper couch would not fold back into the couch. We didn't bother calling for service as they NEVER returned the calls regarding the recliner. I know this is a late review but it still upsets me when I see the Bob's Furniture commercials and I know they DO NOT stand behind their product.

    My issue with Bob's Discount Furniture involves my purchase of the Pearl Top Montibello Dining table set in which the legs are not available until April 11, 2015. Since the legs are not available, I would think a some sort of a discount would be reasonable in this case, due to it not being readily available. Also, I had made an online purchase of the black Trayton Credenza that was available at your Rockville location on February 19, 2015 and made the online purchase. I was contacted and issued a scheduled pickup date of March 10, 2015.

    However, when I visited to pick up an area rug that was a part of a previous order on February 20, 2014, I was informed that the Trayton Credenza was now not available and being discontinued for condition issues. I paid $477 for this item, in which the staff credited my card immediately and as of February 23, 2015 at 6:23 am, I still have not received my refund. I then picked out an alternative TV stand from the Falls Church location and this stand was added to my delivery which arrives Saturday, February 21, 2015.

    Saturday, February 21, 2015, I received 2 of the 3 recliners that were ordered back on January 31, 2015. However, the chairs were the wrong color. Back on January 31, 2015, a chair was on display in the store that was grey in color. I personally searched at 7 different furniture stores for a grey power recliner. 2 of the 3 chairs arrive and they are brown in color. I personally spent $1,200 in painting my house and $1,100 in new carpet, all in the grey color family. Now my entire decor is screwed up due to the color change. I am sure you are not surprised that I am not 100% happy with my customer experience at Bob's Discount Furniture.

    On February 22, 2015, I talked with customer care and then the store manager at the Falls Church location. I was informed the grey recliner was never available and that the 3rd recliner (brown) would be delivered on Monday February 23, 2015. I was offered a $50 gift card. Then after I complained again, I was offered $100 gift card. I personally believe that $300 to $500 of total spent is a much more reasonable dollar amount, due to myself and my associate spending over $3,000 dollars within your store. My concern is while I appreciate the selection that is at least visible within the store, the prices that Bob's offers are reasonable and customer service is good. However, the availability of items within your store and the items that are on display within your stores do not accurately represent what you can actually provide the customer in a timely manner or if the item is available at all.

    Overall, my experience within your store does not meet my expectations and I expect to be compensated in an appropriate manner. I also expect someone to contact the Falls Church location and speak to the manager and inform them of the appropriate gift card amount in this case. If this is not resolved appropriately, I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and my Member of Congress in reference to my experience at Bob's Discount Furniture. This entire situation is totally ridiculous.

    My girlfriend and I decided to search for a new bedroom set. We started looking in the King of Prussia area. We ended up purchasing The Hudson bedroom set from Bob's Discount Furniture even though we were told the bed wouldn't be available for nearly a month from the date of purchase. The first delivery was scheduled for January 27th. We took off of work to accept delivery but when no furniture arrived we called and found out that it was canceled due to the potential for inclement weather, even though we had received a verification phone call the day prior with an estimated time of delivery. We rescheduled for Sunday delivery and was told the furniture would arrive around 7 A.M. which was the only reason we accepted the delivery date. They then called and gave an ETA of 11am to 2:30 pm and it ended up arriving at 4pm.

    The delivery men identified the delivery items as being damaged and left them to be swapped out on the next delivery. We scheduled the delivery for a Friday only to have them call me while I was at work on Thursday to tell me that they were at my front door. They wouldn't wait for anyone to rush home to accept delivery, they wouldn't come back at any other time that day, nor would they deliver the items on the actual date that they were supposed to deliver them. We then rescheduled for the next Tuesday and took time off to accept the delivery.

    As you can see by the pictures, the new furniture was in extremely poor condition. Looking at the quality of the furniture while not taking into account the damage, I would still not be pleased with the quality. There's spots that don't have 100% paint coverage. The delivery men didn't inspect any of the furniture before unloading it. We were told by the manager of the Bob's Discount furniture store in KOP that they would inspect the delivery items before unloading and that there would be no further issues and we agreed to giving them one more chance. The delivery men didn't note any damage.

    You can see in the pictures that the large crack in the wood top is obvious to anyone installing the mirror on the backside of the dresser. We had them note some damage to the bed but before that I overheard them whispering in my room about telling me about some damage, as I walked in they hushed up and left the room. They quickly left and I then had a moment to inspect the furniture and the pictures show what I found.

    It was extremely difficult to reach anyone that could or seemed to even want to give me any help. One of the people I spoke with was wearing a headset and there was a large amount of interference and they wouldn't remove the headset even though I couldn't hear more than every other word out of their mouth. I ended up having to drive 40 miles to the store just to speak with someone regarding all the concerns we've had. They wouldn't provide any incentives for us to risk using them again so I called them on 2/17 and told them to come pick up their furniture.

    I then received a phone call from Wells Fargo on 2/19, which is the bank that Bob's does the financing through. I explained the cancellation to them and before they closed my account they notified me that by closing the account that I could never receive financing again through Bob's for their furniture nor could I open a line of credit through Well's Fargo in the future. Also, on at least one occasion we were told that since we accepted delivery of some furniture pieces that we could only return for store credit, even though the pieces that were delivered were damaged. Very unhappy with how unprofessional this company is. They are scheduled to pick up the furniture on 2/27.

She was on top of us like a fly on a cupcake in the middle of the summer. We told her what we were interested in and she then points us into the store and says, "You will find what you're looking for all over the store," and that we should find her if we find something we like. Ok!

    So we proceeded to walk through the store and tons of sales people were just lounging about on their cell phones. No one asked us if we needed assistance and every time we sat on a sofa this sales lady was on top of us telling us useless info even if we stated we didn't like it. Then when we came across something we were attracted to. They had no samples to try. Now again we were looking for a sofa bed and they had no samples that you could actually test the mattresses. No samples of the different qualities or even how they worked. When we asked for these samples we were told, "No. Sorry. We don't have anything to show you."

    We will never attempt to shop in one of their stores again. It was a waste of time and insulting to think they would make a sale without actually showing us the actual product.

    Bob's Discount Furniture Customer Service is the worst! DO NOT BUY ANY POWER LIFT CHAIRS FROM THEM! BE WARNED! I purchased a power lift recliner for my ailing grandmother. She has passed away 3 years ago and the power lift recliner is not about 5 years old. Recently the remote was step on and one of the two buttons is broken. Bob's furniture did send out a technician as a courtesy and the technician did verify the control wand is broken and a replacement wand will set be back $95. Since my grandfather is now using the recliner, I opt to purchase the control wand thru Bob's discount furniture.

    Their parts department took over 2 weeks to get in touch with me and I verified with them that the correct part will be sent to my home. So a week passed and I got the part but the part department sent the incorrect control wand. I called Bob's furniture and luckily a technician was in the neighborhood was able to come verified that they sent the wrong part on that same day I call them. The technician call them directly too and state the wrong part was sent. The customer care rep told me the part department will give me a call the following Wednesday.

    I didn't get a call until Friday, when I was on a short trip. I did call them back on Monday (we are now going on 4 weeks here) and they told me that the cost will be another $130 which will bring the total to $220. When I heard this, and ask why it cost so much, they told me since they don't make the control wand no longer and that to get the control wand to work. I will need to purchase a brand new motor.

    So their resolution is to replace everything, because they couldn't get the correct control wand (which is why they sent the wrong one) and in order to get the new control wand to work, I would need to replace a perfectly working fine motor. How is that logical? To fix a control wand I need to replace everything. The recliner cost around $700 so to pay for $220 it seem like I have to re-purchase 1/3 the cost of the chair.

    When I tried to their supervisor on the phone, the rep told me there is nothing he can do either and that buying the new motor is my only option. When I ask if I can return the new control wand, she put me on hold to see if that is possible. How is this deemed a questionable issue? If they send me the wrong part, shouldn't it is a given I will need to return it for a full refund? WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! DO NOT BUY FROM BOB'S DISCOUNT FURNITURE EVER!

    Bought a couch from Bob's with the "Goof Proof Kit". After 2 years each side of the couch which has recliners seats began to flatten out. I called and they said they'll send out a repairman. The repairman showed up, took one look and said it was from normal wear. I told him it's only 2 years old and I shouldn't be feeling the springs already. He took a picture of it with HIS phone and then ask to borrow mine to call the office. He talked with the office and handed me the phone and then walked out the door!

    The office told me that "The Mechanic" said it was from normal wear. I said he didn't even inspect the couch and now he's gone! She ask me what the problem was and I explained it to her. She then informed me the "Goof Proof Kit" only covers rips and stains, if I would like to purchase new pillow tops at $50.00 a piece and pay for installation. I said that's not what I was told at the store. They said for 5 years it would cover everything, that's why I bought the "Plan" for $99.00. To make a long story short, I fix the couch myself that day and under an hour. Flip the couch over and stuff carpet pad between the springs and seats and now I don't have a sore behind! Wouldn't shop there again! Plus.... first ordered another couch before this one and it was constructed so poorly I sent it back!

    Recently my girlfriend was looking to buy an affordable couch and loveseat. We went to their pit and purchased the two. First thing I noticed they do not wrap it in plastic, when we got it home it reeked of cigarette smoke. Very upset with this store. We took it because it had some minor tears but didn't smell like smoke so I don't know if they left it in their warehouse overnight where all the loaders smoke or it was a return and we just didn't notice the smoke smell. I hope people don't go there. It's not a bargain.

    Signed up for the 90 day finance program with Acceptance Now at Bobs Discount Furniture Stores in Waldorf Maryland. Ordered an 8 seating dining room set. Delivery was fine. Went to make my first payment and I asked the customer rep at acceptance now, “Can I make a larger monthly payment than the one stated on the invoice?” The rep said, "no because that would nullify the agreement.” Ok, so I stuck with the plan given. When I went to pay on the second payment I asked the manager at acceptance now for the payoff amount. He wrote it on my invoice.

    On the last day of the program, which was 11/15/14. I came into the store the day before (11/14/14) to make the final payment a day early. The manager that I signed up with was no longer there. And I approached the new manager stating that I was there to make the final payment. She looked up my account and told me that the amount that the last manager wrote was a mistake and what I owed was $200 more. Shocked and appalled! I explained to her that the former manager wrote this and the amount should be honored. The current manager was adamant about the actual amount to be paid. I told her regardless of the amount, the former manager wrote it and it should be honored! She became rude with me about the amount! My response to her was that I will not argue and left!

    The next day I returned and paid the monthly amount and I went home and wrote a letter to Bob's Furniture CEO Mr. English. After the letter was received by corporate, their rep phoned my home and left a message. I returned the call and when we spoke; the corporate rep stated that she told the Acceptance Now district manager and manager at the store to honor the amount written by the former manager. And that I was to call the manager of acceptance now at the Waldorf store to make payment arrangements.

    Before I spoke to corporate, acceptance now personnel was calling my home three times or more a day. Leaving messages that my account was past due. Stating to make arrangements for payment. This went on for months! My letter to corporate included this information. After calling the acceptance now manager at the Waldorf Maryland store to make payment arrangements; she was very rude and obnoxious towards me. As if she's upset that the amount had to be honored. And that I; as a consumer; fought for my rights.

    Needless to say, because of my treatment from her, I phoned corporate and the District manager of Acceptance Now informing them that due to such rude treatment from the manager of at the Waldorf store; I'm requesting that all monies be returned and arrange to have your dining room furniture picked up and removed from my home! I'm a taxpayer, I've fought for this country and no one should receive such rude and disgusting treatment from any establishment! Persons with such rude and disgusting attitudes do not need to be in a customer service line of work! I have the right as a consumer to be treated fairly! I treated them with respect, why can't I receive the same in return!

    Needless to say, since corporate and the district manager of acceptance now have not honored my requests to retrieve their merchandise from my home; they have now put negative reporting on my credit reports. Which is a sleazy and slanderous move on their part! In my line of work, it is imperative to keep your credit up to par! It's not as if I needed Acceptance Now. The sales reps at Bob's Discount furniture are the ones that pedaled the Acceptance Now program to the customers!

    Also, Acceptance Now is a numbers game. The more contracts their reps write, the better the possibility for advancement. Also the repayment plans are so low that they will not allow you to make larger payments on your plan to avoid having to pay that lump sum at the end. Which allows the program to go past the 90 days and the interest accrued is more money for them at Acceptance now. Because they know that most consumers will not have the ability to pay that lump sum at the end. But when they encounter a consumer that can make the final payment, that's when it becomes ugly!! Acceptance now is not designed to help a consumer to build or rebuild their credit. If a consumer wants to do that, then get a secured credit card! I did not need any of this heartache and turmoil from this company.

    This experience is a lesson learned! I will never, ever conduct business with either party (Bob's Discount Furniture or Acceptance Now) and I will pass this information on to my fellow military personnel! Again, I've continued to request from the corporate office of Bob's Discount furniture and from the District manager of Acceptance Now to have all monies returned and to retrieve their furniture! This entire ordeal has been very stressful and saddening!!! Yes I'm angry, but they have put my credit that I've worked so hard to keep up to par in jeopardy! By doing this, they have threatened my livelihood to support my family!!! I just moved into a brand new home last summer and I just wanted to furnish my entire home!! From this ordeal, all my future dealings with a furniture company, will cause me to just write a check!

    I wanted a dining table, they brought one which stinks. The odour was so terrible after keeping windows open for hours while outside was 26 degrees, I disassembled it myself and took it to the garage, I called to get money back - they said they do not give money back. The only options are to exchange or reselection. I chose exchange and made it clear they have to check the new table before it leaves the warehouse. They put my request in the system but it was useless, they did not bother to honour their client request - the 2nd table also had the same odour - I refused to take it. They do not care about the customer - they did not bother to double check the new table. Even the truck driver agreed with me that the odour is not acceptable.

    I went to the store for reselection, I found another table which seemed to be different wood which I hoped will not stink. The whole process took 1.5 hours because the guy helping us was slow and he also tried to cheat us. We wanted 2 upgraded chairs for the new selected table which was taking the price to $50 more on what my store credit was, and asked them to remove the $50, basically to get the 2 upgraded chairs for free because of this whole mess we had to go through - I can't believe what he tried to do on the computer. The guy by his name Shandy (not sure it's the real name - they all use easier to pronounce names which are not their real names) tried to remove protection plan of the table legs to get the price down - WTF...

    Then another guy which was supposed to handle the final papers sitting on his chair behind a screen and burping (really, no kidding), and stretching every 5 minutes and sometimes even dancing on his chair - it took him another 30 minutes to get it done - the first guy messed up numbers 3 times, we had to call him to give correct information to the second guy. Finally we got the 3rd table - the same odour, stinks (I think the same very strong formaldehyde), the same story - disassemble it myself and took into garage at 6 AM with my wife.

    I ordered two couch sets in October 2014. I was told that delivery of one set would be 1 November so I got rid of all my couches in my house anticipating the new ones. Instead of getting my couches on 1 November, I did not get one set until 22 November and then the other one did not come until January 2015. Bob's delivered the wrong set 4 times. Each time it was a different screw-up. They would bring the exact model as the other set I bought and they were supposed to be different or they would bring two left arms or one arm would be one model and the other side would be a completely different model, A TOTAL MESS.

    We also had deliveries in which they never came but told customer service that they did and nobody was home. I took leave from work many times as well. Then when they screw up, you have to spend 30-45 mins on the phone getting re-routed and listening to people type a complaint each time. Again, one of the sets I bought in October 2014 did not come until January 2015.

    The only reason I didn't cancel was because I was assured that I would be greatly compensated for my trouble. That compensation was a $75 gift card I got last week. I am so tempted to ask for a refund and my money back but I can only imagine the mess that will follow in having to schedule them to come get the stuff.

    This company has the worst customer service. The day I was suppose to get my delivery I stayed home from work was given a window frame of 1245-445. I'm pretty easy going so when it was passed that I was understanding. The tracker was not helpful considering the time changed every five minutes so when 7:30 pm rolled around and the last update said 7:20 I decided it was time to call customer care. When I finally got through to someone all she kept doing was apologizing and saying "it looks like they will be there any minute." Luckily I asked for a better answer and to get in touch with the driver because when she got back on the line she told me they were in highway traffic due to an accident (not minutes away). My husband being a truck driver himself is up to date on any local highway accidents and none had any so either that was a lie or they were nowhere near my place.

    When I told her I was upset I didn't receive some kind of call and would've never known about this if I didn't call she told me they called me but I must have been on hold with her which was a lie because they didn't have that number on file. After back and forth I couldn't miss another day of work for the delivery and asked if it could be dropped off at the store (that is ten minutes from my house) instead they said no I would have to wait another week!?!?

    I have spent thousands of dollars at Bobs over the years. I never thought service was great, but I accepted that it was discounted furniture and thus I didn't expect the service to be high quality. I have also never written a review about a company, because I never felt the need to. Until now...

    My mother bought me a $500 recliner for Bob's this year for Christmas. She bought the chair online since she lives in Michigan and I live in New York City. Even after the payment cleared on her credit card, the chair could not be scheduled for delivery. Her and I called Bob's numerous times. They wanted her and I to 3-way call her bank while they were on the phone. Of course we wouldn't do that because then whoever was on the line could get all of her financial bank security information (name, date of birth, passwords, social security number). The customer service rep at Bob's said, "I promise I will put down the phone...I won't even write any of that down!"

    We couldn't believe they expected us to trust a random stranger from Bobs with our bank security information. In the end, we just wanted Bobs to cancel the order. They told us they wouldn't cancel the order unless we did the same three-way call with the bank and gave the security information over the phone. They told us, there is no way out of it. If this is their store policy, then they must not want to keep customers or sell furniture. Eventually, I got the manager of the Bronx store involved. He gave me the same message: 1) they would not cancel the sale 2) they would keep her $500 3) they would never deliver the chair.

    Basically, it translated to we are stealing from you and holding you hostage. I couldn't believe that is how they treated us. Ultimately, my mom is going to dispute the charge on her credit card to try to get her money back. She doesn't know what else to do. I will never shop at Bobs again. I hope that no one else finds themselves in this situation. Steer clear of Bobs!

I walked in the store today just to have a look around, I am searching for a dining room set. As my husband and I were looking I notice a sales rep. by the dining room area trying to color a scratch (that probably was done by one of them). Well he was coloring the scratch with some kind of paddy that was a little darker than the furniture itself. It was a server. So I asked him and he said it was sold to someone.

    What a ripoff. You walk into a store with your hard earned money thinking that they will be honest with you and they just turn around and don't give a damn and steal your hard earned money.

    I purchased 3 rooms of furniture from Bob's discount furniture in Stoughton, MA in December 2014. Paid cash. At least 2 times per week since, I have had to make calls regarding tears (sofa filling exposed, bonded leather, sofa fading and beginning to crack), seams separated, mattress seams torn or thread coming loose, staples coming out of box spring, thread coming loose on go spring, exposed, unfinished wood on dining room set, scratched and sloppily repaired nightstand.

    These things were delivered to me this way. Bob's does what they call an "even exchange", which only leads to the same furniture with continuing problems. I have already had my living room set replaced twice, this 3rd one still having problems. To date, I still have pending complaints and tech visits. And I just purchased 1 month ago!!

    Now, their independent delivery company - I have had sofa legs put in improperly with power screwdrivers, stripping the screws making it nearly impossible for tech to remove and replace - I've seen mattresses dragged, they know that merchandise a damaged and will still leave it. Bob's also knows that they are selling faulty merchandise, but they would rather blame the manufacturer - who they still choose to do business with???

    I paid 1000.00$ for this bonded leather living room set headache, and I also took their 5 year warranty on it. I no longer want their "even exchange". I want a whole different set or my money back! They refuse to take me seriously so I am also in the computer filing a complaint with the attorney generals office here in Massachusetts.

We looked at all of their products, all are low quality, stapled together junk, with the cheapest possible materials used, from sofas, the bedroom furniture, to kitchen furniture, it is all junk... junk... junk!!!

    We spent hours recently in the Warwick Rhode Island store simply inspecting all of their furniture.

Bob stated they inspect their stuff. This mice ate through the fabric. Bob stated that they cannot do anything for us. What a waste - it has not been a 1 yr.

    I bought a REAL leather sofa & loveseat from Bob's Furniture and it is only 2 1/2 years old and the leather is fading. My husband and I hardly ever the sofa & loveseat since we both lead busy lives. I noticed the loveseat cushion is fading. I called the goof proof company since I paid $200 for this coverage and they said they could not help me, to call Bob's directly. I then called Bob's and they said they couldn't assist me since it is only a 1 year warranty. Why have goof proof if this isn't covered!!! I have bought a bedroom set, dining room set all of which are made very poorly and have cracked, scratched easily and broke and all my furniture is less than 5 years old. HORRIBLE FURNITURE AND CHEAPLY MADE and then they sell you a GOOF PROOF and they don't cover ANYTHING!!

    I bought a rocking swivel Recliner from Bob's Discount Furniture in October 2012. The second week of December 2014. My chair broke on the axis or whatever, it leans to my right and bottom is broken. I called Bob's DISCOUNT the operative word, telling myself okay, I bought the Goof Proof Warranty! It'll be taken care of (Wrong!). The number they give you with the receipt is bogus. You will be waiting forever for someone in Customer Care Hotline (another joke!) to answer the line to get some service. This company is such a scam and ripoff!

    The Customer Care reps are nice enough, however, they just work there. The rep already knew what the problem was with the chair. First Red Flag! When I asked how did she know she stated that it is common with that chair. Second Red Flag! The Tech that was sent to my home was sent in a timely manner but took one look and said yeah it needs a part! Stupid me. I thought he was going to replace the part or whatever. He said that while at my house he needed to call Customer Service, handed the phone to me after talking to them (Rep). He then said nothing else to me but stated the Rep on the phone would let me know what would happen next and left my house! Third Red Flag! No paperwork nothing.

    When I spoke to the Rep she stated I had to wait 12 weeks for the part because it come from overseas! I said "What kind of crap is that!" I then said "is it made in China?" No answer from her. She stated there is nothing she could do. I was so angry, still am. "Oh, Ms. ** , call us when you receive the part and let us know so we can send someone to install it." I guess I am lucky it lasted two years! Value Service, Goof Proof! Such Bull.....!! I will never buy anything from Bob's Discount Furniture again and damn sure won't recommend them. To add insult to injury we have to keep seeing and hearing these doggone insulting commercials for them all day, all night and radio commercials it a doggone shame and He (Bob) should be ashamed of hisself! Why isn't this Bob's DISCOUNT FURNITURE Business closed. They are selling irregular furniture and scamming the public! They belong in the House of Shame. Close them down!

    Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for. From the moment we placed our order everything went down hill. The salesperson didn't even have the spelling of my name correctly entered in the system. The lamps I ordered never came. On the day of delivery my floor was gauged. I physically helped one of the movers move my new sectional back and forth from room to room because he didn't have it set up correctly. The lamps that did come, were what I believe to be defective, as the lamp shades did not seem secure at all (flimsy).

    The bedroom set we ordered from Bob's was really beautiful. However less than 48 hours the bed collapsed with me in the bed sitting there watching TV. The entire structure under the bed was cheap and not put together correctly. Needless to say I was hurt. Bob's technician came out and repaired the bed, but we waited for a new one to be delivered. After more weeks passed, the delivery guys didn't show up until 8 pm one evening and it turned out that the parts were damaged so we had to reschedule it again. Then, on top of all this, customer care kept speaking of a compensation for all our time and misery and everything we went through. The compensation was removal of the delivery fee for 229.00. I waited over a month for all of this to be resolved for a lousy 229.00.

    I am beyond disgusted and disappointed. I was not expecting any of this. I thought that they would have at least removed the price of the bed or something close to that. Customer care people are truly the nicest people you can speak to. I realize that they can only do so much. In the end, I was able to ask for a full refund of the bedroom set and lamps which will be picked up next week. For my $1500 damage to my wood floors in my bedroom, my injury to my neck when the bed collapsed, I feel that the least they could have done was take off the price of the bed- but $229.00 is truly an insult. I will never shop there again. I will not recommend this place to anyone. Like I said from the beginning, you get what you pay for.

    I bought a mattress (Attitude Euro top) from Bob's. It cost a total $1,400 but the worst mattress ever possible. It heats up so fast and it's like sleeping in an oven and so firm it gave back pain. After that 30 day of compulsory wait, I called the customer service number.. I have to wait more than one hour to get someone to talk to. They processed the refund and got someone to pick up the item. Everything went smooth while delivering but while picking up, they treat you really bad. The pick-up guy showed up after 3-hour window almost at 9:00 PM. They said they will process the refund and I waited for 4 days and checked the card - no transaction.

    I called the customer care again to check if they processed the refund. None of them answered my question. One guy said, "Customer care don't handle money, call the store," and gave a number. I tried that number - no answer. If customer care can handle returns, why can't they handle money and credit card issues? I tried again, this time different customer agent and he cut me off in the middle of conversation. It is like they have bunch of arrogant, unfriendly fellows as customer representatives. The quality is so bad. So stay away from this Bob's Discount Furniture and be happy.

    We bought a sleeper sofa with a Bob O Pedic (supposedly top of the line) memory foam mattress around the end of October. Jan 4, we tore the room apart trying to figure out where this smell was coming from that would come and go from time to time. We pulled out the couch bed, took off the mattress cover to look at the mattress and there was nothing there. Finally, we lifted the mattress and looked underneath and there was a 2x2 ft spot of mold on the bottom metal frame fold out part and black mildew spots on the bottom of the mattress. The next day I went to the Bobs where I had purchased the furniture, spoke to the manager and told him my dilemma. He brought me to a phone, dialed customer care, walked away and I never saw him again. Long story short and two phone calls to customer care department later, they will only give me a store credit to purchase something else and would not remove the furniture from my home because of the mold issue. I told them that I would really appreciate just a credit and not a store credit because I was not planning on purchasing anything else from them and still need to pay off the moldy couch. Nope store credit.

    I called back again and got someone else on the phone who took pity that I was 4 months pregnant with a moldy couch and finally he said that he would have them come and take the couch for 10% off the cost of the couch and that he would take it out of my "store credit." So here I am, couch less, and still paying it off, but they came today and removed the moldy one thank God.

    After seeing the many commercials for Bob's, my husband and I decided to purchase a couch with a chaise when our other couch needed to be replaced. We ordered online, skeptical about making our purchase sight unseen. The closest Bob's is over an hour away. The only day they could deliver was Wednesday. If we wanted a Saturday delivery, we would have had to wait over three months. After ordering and taking a day off of work, the couch arrived. The delivery people were nice. However, my couch was a different color from the chaise. How could no one notice this? I mean, this isn't even an option if you wanted it to be two different colors.

    My husband called customer service and we were told in two weeks we could have the correct couch and then be reimbursed for the mistake. Two weeks later, taking yet another day off of work, the couch came and I called customer service only to be told that they could not do anything for me until the couch was in my house and I accepted delivery and the driver's confirmed delivery. I called and customer service offered me a $30 Bob's gift card. When I asked what I was going to buy with $30, I was told, "We have lamps and rugs." If not, I could use it towards a future purchase.

    Um, a future purchase that I would have to take another day off of work for and pray that it was right? FYI, there are no lamps or rugs under $100 if you even like the African Safari style decor. After calling several different customer service numbers, I got no other answer than, "Sorry you are unhappy and we hope you return to our business." I will not be returning nor referring anyone. The couch is okay, not super comfortable, but it serves it's purpose. Back cushions constantly fall off and reveal only frame wood behind them so even if you wanted to sit without the cushions, you can't. I guess you: (1) get what you pay for, and (2) shouldn't expect more from a "discount furniture store."

    Bob's furniture is a complete joke. Bought a bobopedic bed from them 5 years ago with a "15 year" warranty. My husband is sleeping in a huge hole on his side of the bed. A service tech came out and placed a 1# board across his side of the bed to "measure the indentation." Please tell me how a 1# board is comparable to a 265# man laying on the bed? I truly do not understand their rationalization how we do not qualify for a new bed. The hole is clearly visible and the tech laid in it! But because of their archaic ways of "measuring" the hole isn't deep enough. I am beyond disappointed in Bob's and their lack of customer service. They refuse to honor the warranty and my husband will continue to sleep in a hole until we go to a reputable/honest furniture store to purchase a new mattress. I will never purchase another thing from them. Future buyers BEWARE!

    I am very disappointed with Bob's and the Goof Proof warranty. This is the second couch I have purchased with Bob's and the second one with the Goof Proof. The first couch had a fabric tear that was reported and nothing ever came of it from Goof Proof. This new couch set I bought in August this year has been nothing but problems so far. Upon delivery it was dropped off the Bob's delivery truck and broke the arm. The new couch arrived and was good but the arms seem a bit loose. About a month later we received a burn hole in the cushion. My wife put a claim in and sent the pictures via email of the burn which they asked for (we have these emails in record). We now have a tear in the back cushion which I put a claim in for and questioned about the last one. I was told that since the email was not received and now the claim is closed and cannot be reopened. On the new claim I was told that since I was not sure how the tear happened, the claim was denied and cannot be reopened. I only was not sure how it happened because I had to call during work hours since that is the only time they are open. Bob's will not help and you cannot get anywhere with the Guardian call center. Don't waste your money on Bob's disposable furniture or the Guardian scam.

She said if it's damaged when you get home, let us know we will replace it.

    Well we get home, unload it, have it for one hour. It starts making a clanking noise while recliner goes up and down. We purchased the warranty. They came out day before Thanksgiving. A "repairman" shows up in a fancy car, no ID, the only tools he has is a cell phone. His idea of fixing it is to bang on the wood and try to twist the recliner so the mechanism doesn't hang up, his words not mine!!!! Really?!! Then tells me he cannot fix it, it's a default. So we have to load it up and take it back to store after we are told our other couch is there on black friday. Called to double check and surprise, we were told it wasn't there. Long story short, after many attempts of calling customer service and waiting 45 mins on phone, we had to wait a month before receiving a new replacement couch.

He said he does not know where that message came from. The manager went on to defend their decision to deliver it early, and said the next delivery time was not until 4 days later. He also said they would not compensate me or try to deliver it sooner because it was not due to a medical emergency.

    Horrible customer service and unreliable delivery. Long story short, went to store well before holiday rush. Picked out chair, agreed upon a delivery date and thought all was set...until we never rec'd confirmation of delivery. Called the night before and was assured that it was coming. Of course after taking the whole day off from work, it never arrived. They rescheduled to another date after we voiced our concern and this is the most incredible part. Some delivery guys showed up, said they couldn't bring up the chair because "parts were missing." Another taken off from work lost. Called the store and was bluntly told that the delivery guys were subcontractors hired during the holidays and were LIARS. Yes, that is what we were told.

    According to the Bob's people the recliner was on the manifest for delivery but these subs never picked it up at the warehouse. Third date scheduled and yet another day taken off. Well, the chair arrived and was broken! Certain parts of the electronic features would not work. When we called the store, they were sympathetic and said we should ask "customer care" for a full refund of the $59.99 delivery fee given the botched deliveries and now having to take time for them to come to fix it. "Customer care" was an absolute joke.

    After three transfers, I allegedly got the person in charge who said they were willing to go above and beyond to give a store credit. What could I possibly want or need for that amount from a furniture store in that amount I asked? The so-called account manager stated that there were lamps or decorative items that I could buy. Well I don't need nor want any of their items and frankly didn't notice anything of quality in that level. Their customer service is the absolute worst ever! The so-called manager refused to give me her boss (which I never ask for) and then when I asked the boss's title, it was the same exact as the person I was speaking to. The absurdity of losing a customer when they botched deliveries, delivered a defective item, and made us stick around another day for a technician is something the higher ups would not want to hear at Bob's. I only wished I believed all the negativity before ordering this special chair.

    11/24 - spent over $2,000 and bought a couch, table, and fireplace with sound bar and docking station. 11/29 - I got my couch delivered. 12/9 - I was supposed to have my coffee table and Samantha fireplace with docking station delivered. The wrong fireplace was delivered so I sent it back. Because of the mistake, they reluctantly refunded my full shipping of $199.99. 12/12 - I was supposed to have the fireplace delivered. They never showed up. When I called, they let me know their was a glitch with the paperwork and the shipping was never scheduled.

    Then upon further talking to the customer service agent in order to get the order placed, I would have to cancel the one I financed with the store and place an order online using a personal credit card or PayPal since this is a discontinued item. Why was I not told this when I placed the order back in November? So I did that. Online showed there were 14 left when I placed my order. I was called within 24 hours to schedule my now third deliver attempt. 12/16 - my order was supposed to arrive between 12:07 and 3:07 PM. I get a call from the truck driver at 2 PM that my item is not on the truck. Only the fireplace insert is on the truck.

    I go ballistic. I call customer service again, I call the store, speak with the general manager, let him know at this point they should go above and beyond to help me and he says, "We refunded your full shipping, that is going above and beyond." WOW! I am appalled at the level of customer service offered by Bob's employees. He lets me know that this order was discontinued and it was never sent from one warehouse to the other so now it will be 3-4 weeks just to get it to the warehouse and then someone would call me about shipping! I finally sent an email to their customer service team to have them call me. When I explained about having to miss 3 days of work for deliveries that never happened, I was told Bob's does not compensate for missed work.

    I told her I don't expect to be compensated for the time I missed from work, but they owe me something. She offered me a $100 gift card for compensation that I could use in one of their stores! LOL I let her know they could put that $100 towards the other two purchases I made with Bob's and she let me know they only offer gift cards as compensation and it could not go toward my other purchases. Why would I purchase anything else from this store? Toward the end, I let her know I would like my complaint to go further. I hope if you choose to purchase from Bob's, you have the time to miss 3 days from work, multiple phone calls, feel like dealing with customer service (or lack of), and still get so fed up you cancel the remainder of the order that was never delivered.

    I am still waiting for my CC to be refunded from my internet order I was told to place, and have since canceled since it will be 3-4 weeks to receive, and waiting for my account (who I finance with through the store) to get the warranty (goof proof) refunded for the piece of furniture I did not receive and the shipping that was supposed to be refunded from the first mistake on 12-9. I would hope Bob's would make this right and put my compensation to the furniture I still bought through them, but expecting me to use a gift card and purchase another item from them after this experience is unreasonable for them to even offer.

    I was very pleased that Bob furniture was going to stand behind their warranty and replace my 6 year old mattress and foundation because it was deemed to have a manufacturing defect. We went to the store and picked out another of comparable price and set-up delivery. The problem begins here. I asked the salesman if there was a way we could purchase the old mattress so that my son may have it because his was in worse shape than ours. I was told by the salesman that we could KEEP the mattress with NO PROBLEM!!! In fact he said “tell them to take your son’s mattress and give him yours.” Great huh!! Yup so we did just that, we gave my son our old mattress that was already deemed defective and put his downstairs for the deliverymen to take! This occurred the night before delivery and my husband and myself slept on our pull out couch so that everything would be all set for these deliverymen. Well apparently we were given the wrong information by the salesman Bill and that the deliverymen were supposed to take the mattress and foundation that was being replaced!! This is what I thought it was supposed to happen, but, because of the information given to us, by Bill the salesman, we gave our son our mattress.

    Can you imagine the embarrassment we faced when our only option was to take the mattress that we had given my son and his fiancee the very next day??? I was appalled and spoke to someone named Jesse in Connecticut Corp. Office. He was NOT accommodating at all. Our choices were that we get the mattress and foundation back or pay the whole $1000.00 for the mattress set because they wouldn't leave our new one without getting the old one back. I was aggravated that Bob's salesman told me something much different and that they wouldn't extend a customer courtesy to us because we were given wrong information. I think they should have eaten the cost and let us keep the old one. In fact the salesman himself said we could keep it if we wanted to. So what is the problem?? No help, no customer satisfaction wiggle room, and a take it or leave it attitude from someone named Jesse in Connecticut!!! I will never shop there again and feel duped by a salesman that told us one thing and from a company that doesn't accommodate customers that are given wrong information by their very own people!!

    I was embarrassed to have to ask my son for the mattress and foundation back after only one night…but Jesse didn't seem to care, it was going to be his way or the highway!!!! Bobs should have rectified the situation and at the very least let us purchase back the old set for a minimal price. Bottom line, no help, no resolutions, and no more money from me....ever!!

    A little background.. 3 years ago my wife and I purchased the Bob-o-pedic with the guarantee that if we didn't like it, we can return it, within 30 days, for a refund or credit. We did not like it, and requested to exchange for a new bed. This cost me a $60.00 fee that we were never informed of, but we paid that and got the Black label bed (king-size) mattress and box spring. We dealt with a sales rep named Jose in the Saugus, Ma store. The bed came and we loved it, and felt great about Bobs to this point. We even went back to purchase an entire living room set, (couch, Love seat, Coffee table, End tables, Lamps) when the delivery came, roughly 2 weeks later, the delivery guys looked at the stairs they would have to climb, they claimed it wouldn't fit. I found this very odd since we moved all of our belongings in to this apartment ourselves, and moved the old furniture out after we purchased this new set.

    We went back to the store, and were informed that we would need to choose a new set and it would be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks... We had given away all of our old furniture and had been using lawn furniture until the new delivery arrived; now I have to wait another 2 to 3 weeks! The store said there was nothing they could do about it. We demanded a refund and went to another store, who was able to deliver similar size and shape furniture (much cheaper also), the next day and with no issues.

    Fast forward to November 2014, my wife begins to suffer back and neck pain, and after going to the hospital and then her doctor, we find out she has a pinched nerve in her neck. Her doctor questions how she is sleeping and the condition of our mattress; It was only 3 years old, that shouldn't be the problem. So we take a closer look at the mattress and realize that it's no longer flat, there were 2 body size indents in the mattress, considerably deep. We had the Bobs customer service come out to our home in early December and he confirmed the mattress was in great condition over all but there were in fact 2 very large divots in the bed over 2 inches, and this warranted a replacement. He had us speak with their customer service team who informed us that they no longer carry this mattress and would give us a credit so we can go pick out a new mattress.

    We go and do just that, they now have the Black label with a Gel filled pillow top (this is the only difference between the mattresses) and this one was more expensive, and we would need a new mattress cover for it as well, this was over $250.00, and we reluctantly paid it because we needed a mattress. After the purchase and confirmation of the delivery date (which we were promised some kind of special delivery selection due to the issues we had) we set it for 12/20/14 during our final check out, where we speak with the people behind the desk. We voiced our dissatisfaction about being charged extra to replace their defective item, the manager agreed and said we should not have had to pay more, and because we had already bought a Mattress cover there was no need to replace that, unless there was an issue with it we could use their goof proof warranty if we had it, which we did. So she had to refund us most of the money back, but we still had to pay a little more than $65.00 for the taxes. I didn't like this, but paid it anyway.

    Today the 18th of December I get the automated call telling me that my scheduled delivery will be there on the 23rd. This is not the date on any of my paperwork, nor is this a date we would have scheduled (it's a Tuesday and we have full time jobs). So I spoke with their customer service department and explained all of this only to be told that there is nothing on our account showing any delivery date for the 20th but would see what they could do to deliver it on Saturday the 20th, as originally promised. After holding for quite a while the rep comes back and tells me that the mattress wouldn't even be available from the manufacturer until the 23rd, so they couldn't help me. I was extremely upset and requested to speak with a manager. After another very long hold, a manager named Brea came on and told me that the mattress was in stock and she would also attempt to get it delivered on the 20th then her phone started cutting in and out and the call dropped?? I called back and spoke with another rep who couldn't get me back to that manager, but said there are some notes on our account and he too would try to get the delivery set for the 20th, but couldn't guarantee it... but they would call me back.

    I just can't understand how things like this happen with such a large store that has been in business as long as they have, and claim to have such excellent customer service. This has been the latest of our multiple, horribly bad experiences.

    We had the foam mattresses swiped out 3 or 4 times. The cost of the bed dropped dramatically and bobs gave us a 500.00 credit. When we went to use it, we couldn't find our sales slip and bobs said they had no record of a credit. I spent $5400 on the bed but bobs has now lost a customer for life.

    On 12/14/14 my family and myself went to Bob's. We purchased a king size bed with matching bedroom set and mattress/box spring. We also purchased a girl's set in white with a full bed, and a coordinating full mattress/box spring. We were assured by the salesperson (Orlando?) and his manager that these items would be delivered on 12/16/14. They assured me that there would be no changes made to this plan.

    Oh, I also purchased a dining room table to arrive after xmas; that said, the delivery man did show up with the king size bedroom set and a mattress/box spring for a full size bed; no full size bedroom set that we had ordered. I was very upset, and I was transferred to several different people. I was on the phone with them for time exceeding 45 min. Finally, I became so angry, that I drove there to find out what the problem exactly was, as no one had given me a straight answer in 45 min. Well our "well-trained" salesperson neglected to add the white full bedroom set (for my daughter, who was anxiously waiting, as this was part of her xmas gift).

    I only found out that "Orlando" forgot to write it on the order when I arrived there. Our entire order was 4,100 which is fine, but then I have to go out of my way to the store, and pay an add'l 1400, which should have been already added in. Partly, I think it's my fault for not rechecking the order. But as a business owner myself, I assumed that the salesperson was obviously poorly trained, as well as the manager that had signed off on it. Would you not question the fact that an entire bed set including mattress/box spring was purchased, but yet there was only a full size mattress/box spring on the order. And if you didn't question it, then wouldn't you try to make a sale that was associated with the mattress??

    I found the service at the store to be inept, from my initial contact with the salesperson to the people in the office and customer service. The last delivery that is due to come is from Raymour and Flanigan. They were much more knowledgeable about the products, and they gave me exact answers to any questions that I had. I will no longer be a customer of your store, and I'm sure my family and friends, and several of my customers, will not be patrons in your store.

    Delivery was to be on a Tuesday. I took off and waited all day. Even called to confirm. No delivery made. They went to the wrong house. 2 days later delivery shows up and the chest is broke and the rails to the bed are missing. Zero answers to a fix yet. No one takes ownership there. Do I need to talk to Bob himself to get some answers? This is two days I had to call out of work to make it convenient for them. What a waste. I recommend Mealey's or someone else.

    I purchased a leather sofa set from Bobs in October 2012. The leather began to peel where my head rest. Bobs replaced the section with the defect in 2013. The same problem happened again. When I call for repair they said it was not under warranty even though I purchased the extended Bobs warranty. Bobs said the problem was an environmental problem caused by me. I never used any cleaning products other than cleaners purchased from Bobs when I purchased the Sofa. In addition to the leather peeling, the couch is sagging and has become very uncomfortable.

    Bought a $2700 living room set in 2006 and it's complete garbage. The couch began falling apart the first year, and is now no longer useable. The love seat nearly so. The recliner, which no one has ever sat in until the couch became unusable last month, is already literally coming apart at the seams. I bought their extended warranty but was told it only applies to a one time catastrophic failure. Falling apart over time isn't covered. The first year we had it the couch showed signs of the padding loosing its form. A tech came out, & literally cut the bottom of the cushion and reached in and stuffed pillow foam into the void, he also scratched my new hardwood flooring when he dumped his tool bag out in his frustration when unable to locate a particular tool.

    Furniture is pilling and wearing with very light to average use and have only had it for 9 months. Although it started at about 6 months. Sofa sleeper frame also cuts into the the cushion. Sofa cushions are not as firm and already starting to sag. My furniture looks like I've had it years instead of months. They say this is normal wear. However I had a conversation with the salesman in the store regarding issues with wear or sagging at the time of purchase. They denied any issues. However NOW that I want a re-select, EVERYONE has the common knowledge that this is normal for these pieces. If I had been told that this is what my furniture would look like in 6 months then I wouldn't have purchased it. I was completely misled by the salesman. We are extremely unhappy with this $2,000 purchase. The service technician who is not objective whatsoever, determined there was no defect. Waited to speak to a supervisor only to get hung up on which they said was a glitch in their phone system. Then when I finally got a supervisor, he hung up on me when I told him I wanted to wait to speak to someone who could help me.

    We bought a sectional couch with bobs 2 year ago. We had friends over and their kids got hold of scissors. And we were having dinner and missed to watch them for just 5 mins and they cut our sofa in various places. Bobs Furnitures sales person sold us the $1000 couch with the goof protection. He told us that if anything happens to the couch, the goof protection will cover it. And I very specifically remember that he said that if kids tear the couch all over, our goof protection will cover it.

    Now 1st thing - goof protection is not bobs company. 2nd thing - they discriminate if it is one cut or various. Their policy says that they cover cuts, rips, burns. But when I speak to the claim representative she said they only cover one Cut, one rip. And they were telling that kids did it intentional so we do not cover and this is not accident. Can someone tell me if kids what they do is intentional so should we take them to court and put them in jail for such small things. In the end are they not kids? If adults would have done it then it would be intentional. We can punish kids but for things like this what can you do after punishing?

    Bobs goof protection does not cover anything, they only fool you. You end up paying money for nothing and then just end up with the damaged furniture and you have to live with it. I have bought this 2 years ago so don't have things handy but if someone contacts, I will find everything and find it and provide you.

    First off, when my roommates and myself (all women over 25 years old) walked into the store, we were completely ignored. Not one person greeted us or asked us if we needed help. We wandered around the store on our own until we decided on a sectional. We flagged down one of the employees, as they were all just lounging on couches chatting. He proceeded to tell us that no one greeted us because they assumed we were under 18 and couldn't buy anything. When we told him our ages, he let us know he was only 23, therefore younger than us. Age is not the real factor here though. There were employees well over the age of 40 who also ignored us and gave us absolutely no assistance.

    After placing the order for the couch, we wrapped up pretty quickly. After the kid made fun of how my one roommate spelled her name and then made fun of our cross street name because he thought it sounded funny. We requested that the couch be delivered in the afternoon because we all work full time jobs, and though my job is flexible, I can't leave in the morning. So to be home for a solid 3 hours, I would prefer it be as late as possible. They called us 2 days before saying it would be delivered between 9-12.

    I called the customer service line to reschedule. I was on hold for 20 minutes before I talked to a customer service representative. She was rude and kept saying she couldn't guarantee anything. They might call me back a few days later and still have to deliver it in the morning. At the end of our conversation she said "okay." So I said okay back, unsure if there was more I needed to do or say to get it confirmed, dead silence on her end, so I hung up. I just don't see why their customer service seems to be so bad on all ends. At this rate, I will just pay more next time I need furniture and order from a place that will help me when I walk in a store and work with me on delivery times. Maybe even say thank you or have a good day at the end of a phone call.

    I bought a Quantum II Power, 3-piece sectional from Bob's Furniture store for $1904 in December, 2013. It was a nightmare while contacting them. When I put the order first time over phone the customer service reps seemed respectful and gave me a delivery date. Then changed the delivery date. I am a working single mother and explained that it is hard for me that you are changing date because I have to pay somebody to stay at my home when you will deliver the item. The customer service rep. got angry and said "we all have different problems. You are not the only one." I paid one of my neighbors $80 to stay at home for the delivery but they did not showed up. I was very angry and called them. They keep me waiting almost 20 minutes over phone then disconnected. I called again nobody answered. I left messages. They were giving me their wrong names. When I told them I talked to one of your rep. by this name, they said "we have nobody by this name." Then they gave me another date and again I paid my neighbor $80 to stay at home. Again nobody showed up for that date and I paid promised money to my neighbor.

    Again I called their customer service and talked to them respectfully although I had lost my patience with them. They gave me new date and this time I took a day off from job by calling sick. I explained my situation to one of their customer rep. over phone. I was crying because I had worked hard to save this money since very long to have good couch at my home on Christmas. He was kind and told me "I am sorry that you had to go so much. I make sure that we send you a gift card." I never received any gift card from them.

    The furniture item is not so good. When I and my children sit on it, the back goes down. It seems you are falling. In June 2014 I called them about the problem because I had paid them $500 for five years warranty. After calling so many times one day they sent their technician. He did not touch the couch, just said that I may not be sitting on it in a proper way and left. It is really unfortunate company like Bob are making faking promises of gift cards and in time deliver but do not keep them. I wish no one goes through this worst situation with Bob's. I have receipt but not able to upload them. Can send by mail if needed.

    A couple of weeks ago I called Bob's to report that I had bumped into my dresser. They said they would send out a tech and gave me a time frame of 4pm-6pm. The tech calls me at 12:30pm and tells me he is at my address. I told him, "you are early, I am at work and won't be able to come out of work until 3pm that is why I was given this appointment." The tech then goes on to say how he would have to wait around 3 hours and that was unfair because he lived in NJ, I said, "Well I can't get off work, sorry." He calls back and tells me that honestly there won't be anything he can do for the dresser and I should call and cancel! I said I can't do that and "how do you know you can't do anything without even seeing it?"

    When I contacted customer service I was told that he needs to keep his appointment and they would be calling him. I get home at 3:35, call his cellphone, he comes in and says "there is nothing I can do", aside from getting 2 pieces of cardboard and placing them under the dresser! I follow up with goof proof and guess what? They do not cover it because the framing is not broken but the last time I called about the framing being broken for another piece that was not covered... So what is covered?

    Then I contacted Bob's and the rep said it was done as a favor for them to send the tech and if he could not fix there is nothing they could do... So the tech they sent did not attempt to fix because he wanted to go home and that was the last "favor" Bob's could do for me. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I BUY ANYTHING FROM BOB'S. I am warning everyone. If you buy from Bob's DON'T PAY FOR INSURANCE AND TRY YOUR BEST TO BUY ELSEWHERE. You might as well buy furniture from a discount store. At least you know what to expect.

    I had a terrible experience with Bob's Furniture in Secaucus, NJ. They are horrible with their customer service. They lied about their warranty and charged me for it and did absolutely nothing to abide by the warranty. What had happened was I bought a set of leather living room about 3 years ago. They really enforced and made sure I had bought the 5 year warranty to go along with it. The only reason I was really convinced to buy this warranty was because they said it was going to cover anything and everything: rips, tears, burns, cuts, punctures, food/beverage stains, human stains, ink, nail polish/cosmetics, and much more. After a year and a half I have them a call due to food stains. They refused to even file a claim stating that this was a manufacturer default not under the warranty that I paid for, even though it clearly states that it is covered.

    6 months later I called again to file a claim because of a cigarette burn on the right arm rest. They had asked to send a picture of the damage and they would send the technician to take a look. The girl on the phone with customer service said that the technician would come and put a patch to fix. I refused because it's in an obvious spot that everyone will see and it will make the couch look ruined. I asked for the manager and they said that she wasn't allowed to tell me how they will fix it before the technician came and that the only way to know how to really handle this claim was to wait and see what the technician says when he comes to look at it and that I also has the right to accept to decline the solution that the technician comes up with. I asked him for other solutions and he said that if the style was still in stores we would be able to replace at no charge because it's under warranty or if the model was discontinued I would receive my money back in a store credit.

    Also what he had said was that if I didn't like the way the patch came out I have the right to call back and have them come fix it until I, the customer, was satisfied. When they send the technician over he said the way to fix it was to put a patch and paint over it. That's not what I wanted to do because it wouldn't come out looking good. A few days later they sent a letter to my house stating that they closed the claim because of my refusal to the patch even though I had other options such as replacing the couch. I went to complain in the store about the service and what had happened with the warranty and they said several times, "We will fix it. We will get everything settled for you," and then and they said that was none of their business and if I wanted anything to get done I had to contact the company that gave me the warranty and they have nothing to do with it even though I paid them $200 for the warranty for the sofa for 5 years.

    They also threatened to bring the police because I was complaining about their services. The whole living room cost $2000 and the warranty was an extra $200 and they never fixed the problem. They basically lied and scammed me to get my money and when the problem occurred they did nothing to fix it. All they cared about was making money out of you.
