Avoid Bob's Furniture. Buy from anywhere else. I purchased a five year Bob's Goof Proof + warranty on a couch for my home. Within a couple years, the couch cover started peeling from sun damage. After a while, the peeling became very severe and I knew it was time to call. The first time I called they said they'd send me an email and I'd need to send in photos for review. Fine. I waited over a week and heard nothing. After about two weeks I called back. They had the wrong email. They sent the email and this time it went through. I waited and waited, but once again, received no message from them.
As I was very busy with work at the time, I decided I'd revisit this issue over the summer when I had some more time since it was very clear they were playing games. I called again over the summer and a very nice lady told me that my claim HAD been approved, but it had expired. I said I never received any email about this. She said it was no problem. After a 20 minute wait, she then spoke to her supervisor, came back and said they were scheduling a delivery on my behalf to honor the warranty.
The VERY NEXT DAY I receive an email from Bob's saying that NO, my claim would not be honored because it expired months ago. Then they send me an email that they claim they sent months ago regarding this issue! I NEVER RECEIVED THIS EMAIL! They say since the claim expired, my 5 year warranty was no longer valid. WHAT!??? I never agreed to that! Meanwhile, I still have a year left on my "warranty" but because of this miscommunication, it's apparently null and void according to them. Multiple times Bob's salespeople and customer service reps lied to me. They are a dishonest company running scams. Avoid at all costs.

I first purchased a whole bedroom and living room set and was happy with it. In less than a year my top two dresser drawers had broken. I called to report it because I paid $500+ in “goof proof” 5 yr warranty. They had me describe the damage in detail!! And after that 20 min conversation, they said what I described was not a defect they could cover. It was a frustrating experience to deal with customer service. And on top of that, they refuse to help with ANYTHING. For every complaint I had they had an excuse and it was basically “not their problem”.

I already have a dining room set and sofa from Bob's and was a fan, but not anymore. I ordered a bedroom set, bed came with a broken drawer for the storage platform, cracked nightstand. The delivery drivers put the bed together wrong and the good night stand with the drawers constantly sliding open. He told us that it would fix when we put clothes in it. That was a lie, it was broken. When we asked him to fix the bed and he said the new delivery drivers would fix it since they had to come back with the new nightstand, mirror and broken drawer for the storage bed. Then he said he called to ensure a ticket would be put and we would get a call. Hours later, no call, I called and Bob's has no idea about any of this…
When we did get the delivery - THAT crew: NOEL was A+, fixed everything in 30 minutes, restored some faith in Bob's. So we ordered an additional chest to arrive 8/27 not eligible for delivery, we figured we could get a truck to pick it up. I got a call late Friday 8/23 that it had been there since 8/20 and if I don’t pick it up by Sunday, it will be sent back. WHAT? Why wasn’t I called Tues, Wed, Thurs?!?! Who does business like this? I show up Sunday, AFTER I THREW OUT MY CURRENT DRESSER... Guess what? They ordered the wrong dresser. So now I must wait until 9/20 to get it. I’m thinking Ashley’s might be where I should go next.

I bought 26k in furniture last August. The couches springs are bad and I called in June for them to fix. They said they couldn’t fix and it’s normal wear. The couch was less than a year old when it started sinking. They now are saying the year warranty is over and there is nothing they can do. Don’t ever buy from them. They are frauds selling crap furniture! Anyone up for a class action suit against them contact me **.

I've always bought from "The Pit" and fortunately haven't had a problem, until this time! 2 weeks ago I went in and purchased 2 matching sofas, a rug, a loft bunk bed, a queen size headboard and nightstand, a twin mattress and a queen mattress. I rented a U-haul the next day and traveled the 45 minutes, loaded the furniture with the worker and asked him at least 5x if he was certain there wasn't anything else, he assured me that "I was all set."
It's hard to really tell what you have, as everything comes out of their back door in pieces. They hand you the hardware (not even in a bag). Anyway, we put everything together. Soon realize the queen headboard isn't what I ordered, but it was nice so it didn't bother me. Until I realized they forgot to send me with the slats to hold the mattress. Mind you, it had been 2 weeks since sleeping on a bed, I was sleeping on my couch in my new place until I had time to go purchase a bed. So that was annoying.
Next is my daughters loft bunk bed. After being put together she was finally able to walk up the storage stairs to the top bunk, she sat on the bed and there was a loud snap sound. She weighs 60 pounds and literally only sat, the wood snapped right in front of the bed and now has sharp edges, probably not safe anymore either. They also forgot to send me with the rug I had purchased, the night stand to go with my bed and the desk that went with my daughter's bed AND the slats for my bed! That's a lot to overlook.
I went down there the next night (drove 45 minutes, again) and the Pit manager had already left. Spoke to a different manager whom had the guys give me slats for my size bed. She said "she was concerned with the bunk bed cracking" and suggested I bring it back. Bringing it back would entail me taking it apart again, renting a U-haul, again, for their mistake. Anyway, she said she would email the Pit manager about everything that happened with my order and assured me I would hear from him that Friday.
Once Monday afternoon rolled around and I had yet heard from the Pit manager, I called him. He said he would look into my order and return my call that afternoon. That was FIVE days ago!! I have called this place 10x in the past 2 weeks and have gotten NOWHERE. All I asked was for the things that they forgot to send home with me that day, to be taken off my bill. Of course though, they didn't forget to deduct $230 out of my account today, even though my balance will now be around $500 less.
I am SO UNHAPPY with how they handled ALL of these issues within just ONE order, that's concerning. A managerial position is put into place to stand behind their product and be more attentive to customer complaints and diffuse the situation in a professional, respectful and fair manner. They should also reprimand the person that was in charge of taking my things out to me, as they missed 4 pieces out of 8, THEY FORGOT HALF OF MY STUFF AND EXPECT ME TO RENT ANOTHER U-HAUL ($100 rental & mileage. HORRIBLE!!!! Cheap stuff and the workers apparently lack attentiveness, while managers lack that and so much more.

If I could rate zero stars I would. Parents sat in and chose sofa based on floor sample, simply because no other local store had the correct fabric color without an expensive special order. When furniture was delivered the side fabric was wrinkled and ripples and the cushions were hard as cement. There is NO RETURN policy - can exchange for STORE CREDIT ONLY, and only WITHIN 30 DAYS. It is difficult to replace junk with more junk. Trying to get answers by telephone is a push-button menu maze and, if you finally get a representative, you will be told, “That issue cannot be resolved over the phone,” or “You have to call [**]....” BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!! This store should not even be allowed to sell to the public; it certainly couldn’t care less about customer satisfaction. STAY AWAY!!

Sorry, I wish I could recommend Bob's but I can't. This review is after purchasing two full living room sets. First, the furniture is pretty, I will give them that. And my sales guy was nice. Low pressure which is great. But the problem lies in quality and customer care. First the quality: My first set of couches are lovely to sit on, firm but comfy. After 1 month the cushions (seat and back) are still comfy but deflated. The armrest are a flimsy build. When you push down on the armrest of the couch you can actually feel it collapse and push under the wood frame. And unfortunately it doesn't pop back up. Now it is a hard wood covered in fabric instead of the original squishy batting. But my second set of couches was worse. The wood trim on the bottom not attached well and the first time I grab the bottom of my couch to lift and move it, the trim popped off.
The ottoman when delivered and was permanently indented by the strap wrapped around it from the manufacturer, additionally it was damaged inside. The large double chair that went with the set has now been delivered damaged twice. The first time it never made it off the delivery truck because when the guys opened its packaging it was obviously damaged. The second time the manufacturer had stapled through the wood trim on the bottom.
But the bigger issue is customer care: First delivery was fine, and their customer app to follow the delivery was great (although the phones notifications were over the top). The double chair was on backorder. Fine. The Ottoman was received damaged and the rug ended up on back order but they didn't bother to tell me that until it wasn't there at delivery. Called customer care and reported the damage, so they scheduled an even exchange for the next week when they delivered the rug and then double chair. Next week rug and ottoman arrive but delivery guys inform me the chair is so badly damaged on the truck they won't even bring it in. I call customer care... again because they don't call you when it happens on their end.. and they again schedule the chair for another two weeks out. Days before delivery they call me and tell me the item is on back order they have to push out the delivery.
At this time I ask that they INSPECT the chair before the delivery to insure it is not damaged given the additional delay. Sure, OK no problem. 10 days later they deliver the chair again, but surprise surprise it is fully wrapped up by the manufacturer, so obviously no inspection and it is damaged. AGAIN. So I call customer service and they apologize and promise to inspect the chair this time. And again schedule the delivery about 10 days out. Day before delivery and no phone calls, not notices, no nothing. So I call customer service. They say they can see it is scheduled for delivery the next day but there is not information about truck# or delivery window. So they send me to the next level of customer service. Same song and dance but they assure me it is coming the next day. So I ask to talk to a supervisor. I was on hold 30+ minutes and didn't not speak to the supervisor.
Ultimately the customer care rep said the supervisor would call me back that night yet. No phone call. So now the day of delivery. No phone call, no information. So I call customer service again.... and now I wait because no one knows what is going on. I bought the furniture 45 days ago. Have spent five different days waiting on my deliveries, and now waiting again. Yes the furniture looks pretty. Yes the prices are good. No do not buy from Bob's. The quality and customer care aren't there. Go to a different discount store. You won't regret it.

We recently purchased our dining room set, sectional and 3 chairs with ottomans from Bob's. We spent over $6,000. To begin with the delivery team took 3 times with reference to my china cabinet to deliver a piece that was NOT damaged. Then 3 times to deliver one of my dining chairs undamaged. And the delivery men left me with the phone when they called in the delivery which they are not suppose to do.
The accent chair I purchased for my living room needed to be fixed within 3 months... the springs popped. Now... not even a year owning the furniture the same chair’s material ripped. I contacted customer service being the chair still falls under manufacturer warranty was told they would replace but the chair was back ordered until January 2020. Mind you my claim went in on July, 2019. I decided to call and see if any change on the back ordered chair and found out the chair is discontinued and I would not be receiving anything. Would be nice if I was called. Anyway they told me I have a credit to use at the store to find a replacement chair. They will not refund my money yet they want back the damaged chair.
After I was to wait at least 7 months for the replacement chair to come in and I was understanding (but annoyed) and found out I wasn’t receiving then I was told I have 30 days to pick out a new chair or I lose my refund. RIDICULOUS. After being disconnected when I asked for a manager and having to wait on hold forever every time I called. I spoke with a manager Jheri, who said they would extend my time but wouldn’t tell me how long. I asked for emails of same they never sent. Told me everything was in the ‘internal notes’ of my claim number. My husband and I after spending 2 hours on the phone went to Bob's in a Farmingdale. To find out we don’t like any of the chairs as of now for a replacement and then when we spoke to the manager there he advised there was no notes indicating we had extended time.
Then when I asked if we could purchase a chair through the bob's outlet I was advised no, my credit wouldn’t apply to the outlet. Each person you speak to tells you a different response. There is no consistency. No courtesy. Nothing. Yes, the furniture appears beautiful and affordable BUT complete junk. And their good proof is a hoax. Don’t even purchase. Told was for stains I had a water stain and was told they don’t come for that..?? Seriously what do they come for.... If you are looking for durability this is NOT the store for you. And if you are looking for a company to back their product again not the store.

Horrible horrible horrible!!!! Anyone who has bought furniture should know what crap furniture they have. My whole house is furnished with Bob's Furniture over 7500. What money wasted. So I was talked into getting the goof proof plan which sounded great after hearing my furniture would be covered for 5 years. After 3 years every piece of my furniture is falling apart! Most importantly my living room sofa and love seat springs are sinking and I only weigh 115. Its frames on both couches are busted and they tell me my furniture is not covered, material is worn, cushions are tearing and was told they can't do anything to help me but yet took my 500 dollars for this scamming warranty. So I decided my back 2 side windows on my car will say "Honk if you have been scammed by Bob's Furniture".

“Bob's Furniture” is a complete fraud...2 Months later: Bob's furniture is beautiful, really is, but it’s just that, nothing more. The quality of the furniture is very cheap. I would not purchase from Bob’s EVER! again. I would never recommend Bob's to anyone either. I would prefer not having furniture in my home than to pay so much money as I am now to have things delivered damaged, then be exchanged and re-delivered damaged over and over. My coffee table has been replaced 3 times within a month and a half time frame because it’s has been delivered damaged all 3 times. By the last delivery on 07/26/ 3019 I gave up completely, not even kidding, HONESTLY!
Now, two and half months in, our Capri Denim R.Arm Chaise couch breaks. One of the legs bent backwards causing a wooden piece inside the couch to break in half and the wooden piece broke fabric sheet on the bottom of the couch. I had a friend over, we sat down and down went couch, jajaja it’s funny Yes, but how embarrassing was that! Whether it’s 100lbs or a combined 300lbs the couch should be able to support the weight.
The store DOES NOTHING TO HELP at all, they refer you to the the customer service line, the Call center in mine and my husband’s personal opinion and personal experience they are not very accommodating AT ALL, they are not helpful at all, and they are rude. The schedule time frames are not guaranteed, they text you the time frame 2 days prior to the schedule delivery date BUT that is not enough time to ask to take 1/2 a day off work or the entire day off. Also, the time frame they initially text you they change that time frame on the day of the delivery. Not convenient at all.
I must say, since the 1st customer service call I made to both the store and the call center I have been regretting my purchase. Luckily I got the 5 year insurance which covers a certain $ amount, l and is not enough money being the furniture is very cheap. Also it’s not a guaranteed “guarantee”. WHAT! Let’s see how this issue plays out with the couch having to “be fixed” or be “replaced”.

Absolutely horrible experience with Bob's. We ordered a sleeper sofa weeks ago. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. 20 minutes before the 3 hour delivery window closed, I got a phone call that the delivery truck had broken down and the soonest we could get the couch was Friday. We had an overnight guest that we had planned to have sleep on the sofa, so we had to go out and buy an air mattress.
I've spoken numerous times with customer service. Each call takes about 20 minutes to get through to speak with an actual person. They cannot expedite the delivery process; additionally, I won't know my delivery window until the day before. The only form of "compensation" I've been offered has been credit at a Bob's store. Bob's is host to absolutely hideous business practices with incompetent employees who have no regard for the consumer's well being. I cannot say enough bad things about this company and will certainly never do business with them again.

My sofa had a broken back rest. After filing a claim and going through all the steps they asked they declined saying that the frame broke due to wear and tear. That is irrational to be told that a wood product can break in 4 years due to wear and tear. Then after explaining to them why that can't be wear and tear they stopped responding.

Sofa edges frayed in less than one year and our claim was denied because they said this was not a factory defect. Guess that means all their furniture will fray and show excessive wear in less than one year. Sofa was only used by 72 year old wife. Best to pay a little more and buy a sofa with some quality to it.

I purchased a three piece sectional and an ottoman, all in the same color- federal blue. I needed to take a day off from work for the delivery. The delivery men arrive, and one of the sectional pieces is a cream color. I told them it was the wrong color, and they placed it back on the truck. I called customer service, hoping to get the correct delivery that same day since I had taken off from work but was told I would need to schedule yet another delivery day and take yet another day off from work. I was furious. I spoke with a manager, and she told me to call after my second delivery arrived, and they would refund my delivery fee. So I took another day off from work and waited for my delivery. After it was delivered I called customer service and spoke to a different manager who told me she would not refund my delivery fee, even though there were notes in my account of my conversation with the previous manager. I love my furniture, but the customer service is beyond terrible. I will never purchase from Bob’s again.

We bought a queen bed frame for my daughter. Day of delivery get a call they are 10 mins away. 1 1/2 hrs later the truck broke down. Phone call saying they are not sure when they can deliver our furniture the next day. Get a call saying it would be delivered the next day and went it arrives there is no hardware and there are marks on the material. Phone call to say they are not sure when they can deliver the parts. May be the next week. Get a call saying they are on their way with the hardware and a follow-up call to say, "I'm sorry we don't have the hardware like we thought. "
Several calls to the store requesting manager return call with no response. Call every hour and get the same response "it is with our customer care team". Transfer to customer care team and speak to a Manager who can't do any better than it will be out next week. I inform them that I have already missed 2 days of work because of their errors and now I should miss another day. "Well I'm sorry this is all we can do." Really. This is your mistake and you can't do any better is the response.
I work in customer service and I'm so glad our company would never find this acceptable. This kind of error should be a priority to make it right. I asked for a whole new bed and they said "we can do that but it won't be delivered until next week." Told them to cancel my order but oh yeah I paid cash so I have to wait 10 days for corporate to send a check after they pick the furniture back up. They will gladly refund the amount put on the debit card but this can take 3-5 days and you can't come in the store to get your refund because that's not how they do it. So now we have furniture laying in the middle of my daughter's room, no money to go buy another one and have to wait until next week to get the furniture out of there. Stay far away!!!!

Purchased the Blake dining set. It was perfect for our shore house. Set was delivered Memorial Day weekend. 4 of the 5 chairs damaged. Table has a big chunk out of the corner like someone dropped it. New set gets delivered and again all the replacement chairs were damaged and new table rough patches along where the leaf goes in. Technician come out and says he can’t fix. I will need another one. New set gets delivered on 8/6 and corner is again chipped. Here’s the kicker.... Bob's is now saying that they will not send another set and I need to pick a replacement set. Problem is I DO NOT like anything else in the store. I was told that they WILL NOT refund my credit card and will only give a store credit. Are you kidding me. Because of their incompetence I’m being told that I need to pick out something else and if I don’t I only get a store credit?!?! How is this legal?!?! And how many others has this happened to?!?!

By far the worst customer service experience I have had in my entire life. I have purchased $7,000 worth of furniture and warranties from Bob's. Part of that purchase was a full sofa and a love seat. Over time I started noticing the love seat recliner slant to the side. After calling Bob's within the warranty period (under 1 year), they sent a technician to look at the couch. The tech decided it had a defected part and needed the part replaced. After a month of waiting I had to call them to check on the part.
The representative explained to me that the part just came in and that it would be delivered to me within 10 business days. 3 weeks go by and they call me back telling me the part is no longer made and the couch is no longer available either. (3 full months since I called about the couch) They do not have a replacement couch for me. They then offered me a credit for the love seat and expect me to buy a new couch that does not match my sofa. They refuse to give me a credit for the full set. If you do not like matching and quality furniture than this may be the place for you. If you are a normal human being than spend your money with a more reputable company.

I will never deal with Bob's Furniture again, and I will talk to everyone about it. At first - cheated with a credit!!!! I didn’t want to take a credit. I had money, but I was convinced that the credit is good and that I won’t lose anything, but only win - the result is furniture has become twice as expensive for me :((!! Secondly - I bought low-quality furniture. In five months (March 2019 - August 2019) all three pillows from the sofa were torn. It’s impossible to sit, pillows to come out. I am very disappointed that I was dealing with your company! For me it was a bad deal!

I bought a sectional from the Southington, CT Bob's store from the pit, of course they won't deliver from the pit. So I load it up on my truck and bring it home.. Upon removing the couch frames from the bed of the truck I see a few red bugs... Next thing I know there are over 20 bed bugs crawling all over the furniture. I messaged Bob's to tell them about this issue fearing their Pit is infested. Bob's replies, "We are very sorry to hear you have located pests in your merchandise. We here at Bob's take all precautionary and preventive measures available to us to avoid contamination. We have traps that are monitored by an independent company, along with regular spraying of our truck boxes to ensure our products are free from pests. We do not sell products infected by pests.

I purchased a recliner 4 years ago from Bob's Discount Furniture. I also purchased the extended warranty. The recliner required repair three times (two times a Technician came to my house and attempted to fix the problem). A few days ago I apparently put too much weight on the right side of the chair as it was returning to the sitting position. The reclining mechanism now won't recline properly.
I called the warranty number and filed a complaint. They sent me an email, which I returned with a required picture of the chair, supposedly to help them decide their response. A few days later I got a response to the email and it stated that, basically, they would not honor the warranty because it wasn't "an accidental incident". To make matters worse I could not respond to the email because it was supposedly unmonitored. This is not right! I purchased the extended warranty with the idea that if something happened to the chair they would attempt to fix the problem or replace the chair. This is a deceptive and unfair practice.

I purchased my couch in 2016. Last week I notice that we were sitting lower on one side of the couch than the other. I wasn't too worried cause we purchased Goof Proof with ours. It being only three years old, I figured Goof Proof would cover it, if not the warranty. That being said our salesman at the time told us Goof Proof covers just about everything and the frame was one of the things he said was covered. So I called the 1-800 number and waited on hold for about 20 min before I talked to customer service. Within 5 minutes of talking with the representative, I was told there was nothing they could do about it. They didn't even ask me for pictures. This company does not stand by their furniture or their policies. This wasn't a a cheap couch either. My advice to you is really read the reviews....

I purchased a bed 14 months ago. One of the side fake wood broke in half. I called the store and since I did not purchase the Goof Proof insurance they sell, I was told there is nothing they can do. I am stuck with a broken bed and a bill. Which by the way are still paying for it. The entire piece of furniture is poor quality. I have never had the need to purchase insurance on furniture. The mattress is also poor quality. The reason Bob's Furniture insist on customer to purchase that helpless proof goof insurance if for the reason that their products are poor quality, will break within one year. Waste of money, waste or furniture. NEVER WILL SHOP NOR RECOMMEND IT TO FRIENDS OR FAMILY. I realized that it my mistake for going cheap. You do get what you pay for.

Very poor quality furniture. 1st delivery the guys left all of the plastic and cardboard on sofa and pushed through doorways! After seeing this and scuff marks asked to remove packaging before bringing in loveseat. Said ok. By the time I walked downstairs they had piece pushed through doorways AGAIN!! Now the fun part. Furniture was poorly made. Pieces not fully together. Staples showing on furniture. Called customer service immediately. Said would replace. Week later, came with new furniture. In my driveway they placed blankets and we inspected, same poor quality, same defects, sent back. Called local store manager. They said would inspect before sending out. NO WAY. After two times with same defects and junk construction (plastic pieces at arms and basic staples to hold together) did not want 3rd try, take back and refund!
Another week goes by, come to my house (I believe 2nd stop) and guys pulling furniture off truck. Other guys want to see room/furniture. Take him in and he asks if wants new furniture in front of old, SERIOUSLY! Explained was a return. They said no room on truck so had to wait 5 hours to unload to come back and take away. Called local store when left to get refund, no problem. Said processed 3-5 days to show up (on a Saturday). Come that Friday no refund. Called store. Said went to main corporate to refund. Not verified furniture, was in fact returned so will have to call warehouse, then call corporate to start/process refund! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM START TO NOW.

We bought marble top kitchen table with 4 chairs and a leather bench. Looked great for 6 days, the bench started ripping at the seams and after a week or so the stuffing was coming out from all over the bench. We used the warranty (5 years) but should've just returned it while we could! The tech came very quick, set us up for a replacement saying it was pretty common problem with this bench because they overstuff it. This was in May, it is end of July and they still promise us to ship the replacement every week. Got fed up and disputed the purchase with our credit card (Chase Bank). Would never buy anything from this company again, they get you on cheap prices and cheap warranty but never actually stand behind it!

I purchased 4,000.00 dollars worth of furniture from Bob's Furniture and also purchased the Goof Proof ins. I was told no matter how the damage occurred I was covered for 5 yrs. Well a couple yrs into having my furniture my dining room table got scratched and my area rug got a burn hole in it so I called the Goof Proof ins and was asked what happened and when it happened. Gave them all the details then she told to follow the instructions in the email so I did and submitted all the pictures and everything else they wanted only to wait about 3 days for them to tell me that all this damage is not covered. I told them I was told no matter what happens I was covered for 5 yrs. They said, "Sorry you were told that but this is not the case and you only have 30 days to report the accident."
All this being said I will never buy anything from Bob's Discount Furniture. The lies they tell is ridiculous. How they stay in business is beyond me. Their delivery sucks as well. They brought all my furniture except for the dining room table. After calling and being placed on hold a million times I was told my table would be coming in about a week. Well that didn't happen. When I called them to ask where my table was they told me it was on backorder. I told them I was having a birthday party for my sister and needed my table. They said sorry but the table was on backorder. They did not accommodate me in any way. They treated me like dirt. The customer service staff needs to go get some serious training because they really do nothing to satisfy the customer. I will never buy furniture from them again.

I WILL NEVER buy anything from you guys again. You lost a customer who just opened up a $3000 line of credit with you! I can NOT believe how inconsiderate and uncaring your Salem New Hampshire store is, you should honestly be ashamed and possibly arrange a workshop on "how to deal with customers" for that branch. Let's start off in May 2019 when my mother in law bought us the "Blake Gray 6 piece Dining set w/ storage bench", as a house warming gift. As soon as the guys put the table together I sat down on it to check out the "Leaf" and a whole piece of wood came off. We had the your delivery guys take photos and they assured us that Bob's would be calling us in "20 minutes".
Well 20 minutes turned into 2 hours which turned into 2 days until we finally took it upon ourselves to call. We were told someone would be out the next Saturday to fix the table. Not only is it aggravating that I had to take more time off of work to wait for this "leaf" but Bob's gives you a 4 hour window so that resulted in me taking the whole day off of work. Saturday comes and the guys that were supposed to fix my leaf tell me they do NOT have that specific piece on the truck. So that resulted in them leaving and telling me Bob's will reach out to me in 20 minutes or so.
Well guess what? A whole 3 days later and SURPRISE SURPRISE no call from BOB'S. My husband and I reach out again expressing our grief that we still do NOT have a table after 2 weeks (paid in full I should add) and we were planning on have a dinner party on that upcoming weekend with all our friends and family in celebration of our 1st home we bought. Bob's customer service then told us that they were Not going to have anyone available to come out before our party date and that we had to wait over a week for them to bring the leaf. We again took time off of work to be there for this "leaf". Now this is the 3rd attempt and at this rate I am beyond mad that I had to have a party with a fold out dinner table. When the delivery guys came they had the "leaf" on the truck this time.
I really thought this was going to be the end but to my surprise when I walked into my dining room to look at the finished product I was presented with a table with a completely different color stained leaf in the middle. At this point I just laughed. They again took the "leaf" and told me Bob's would call me to set up another delivery. I busted out laughing like a maniac because I knew that was just a line these guys are trained to say and NO, Bob's will not be reaching out to me because Bob's doesn't give 2 ** about me or my table (proven over and over again). I had my husband call Bob's for the millionth time and they again set up the following Saturday for someone to come and bring us a whole new table.
Saturday came and we got our brand new table. I do want to add that this specific delivery guy told us that Bob's should of sent a replacement table in the 1st place and that he never heard of replacing just the leaf. We called Bob's and expressed our grief once again. They have all our deliveries and phone calls documented as proof of our hardship with them. In total we took off 4 days of work, had to have our dinner party without our dining room set and wasted precious time we will never get back on the phone with BOB'S (hold times are over an hour at times) only to get offered a $50 gift card (to BOB'S) as their apology.
First off there is NOTHING in that store that is $50 or less. That just shows me that you're trying to get me back into the store to spend more money with you. That is not only a smack in my face but that shows me how much Bob's employees cares for their customers. So I will make it my life's mission to make sure everyone I know NEVER shops at BOB'S ever again!!!!

I have purchased from them several times, several living room sets and 2 bedroom sets. My fault for not learning the first time. Prices are great, products are junk. Furniture completely falls apart. I always buy the protection plan and it always fails once plan has expired. This time I bought a leather, power sectional 4 years ago. I got the 5 year protection plan. Every part of the section has broken in one way or another. The lights in the cup holders both broke - 1 burned out, 1 won't turn off (had to unplug). The power outlets fell out of the console. The frame broke in 2 places. The cushions are now cracked and peeling and creating a hole. I called and of course they said nothing is covered. It's normal wear and tear - I guess their furniture is only built to last 4-5 years then completely fall apart. Never again.

I have had to issue a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau given how incredibly incompetent Bob's has been. I ordered a sleeper sofa that came in damaged. Half of the sofa had no feet attached and the frame of the sofa bed inside was defective causing the pillows on the couch to cave in and slope backwards. I have now had 5(!), yes 5 attempts at a replacement of this couch and still do not have the replacement. To make matters worse, the second delivery team that came in tried to remove the couch and forgot to tie the bed frame down before the tipped the couch. This caused the metal frame to come crashing out of the sofa and down causing two large holes in my brand new hardwood floors.
The delivery drivers never submitted their claim and I have now been waiting for 10 days to hear back from Bob's on the claim I called in, with no answer in site. To say this is absurd is an understatement. I am simply appalled at the lack of educated customer service, quality assurance and overall lack of control of their delivery and claims process. NEVER EVER use this company for anything!

We purchased a sectional recliner set from Bob's in April 2018. The unit supposedly has a one-year manufacturer's warranty. Less than a year later, one of the chairs separated from the center console, and one seat cushion and arm rest severely deflated. I contacted Bob's and they sent out a technician. He bolted the chair back to the console and said he had to take pictures of the seat and arm rest since they are attached to the recliner. I did not get any follow-up from Bob's regarding the deflations. After one evening of using the chair, it once again separated from the console. I called Bob's and was told another technician could come out to take a look. I maintained that it should not come apart immediately after the tech had been out. Moreover, I wanted to know what came of the deflated parts. The customer service rep said that this was all they could offer.
I asked to speak to a supervisor, and was told that the supervisor would say the same thing. I contacted Bob's via Live Chat and was told to fill out a complaint online. I did so, and received a voicemail a day later saying that they were sending some sectional brackets and I could call them to set up an appointment for a tech to come out and install. They declared that the deflated areas were "normal wear and tear" and that up to 30% of a cushion could deflate with use. I maintain that for a $1000 sectional, it should not deflate with normal wear and tear. It has not been overused at all. As well, there is clearly a problem with the console if the chair cannot stay attached after only one use. Bob's has decided to wash their hands of this problem. I have never had a chair or sofa lose its form after only a year. I maintain this is either a manufacturer's defect or a very shoddily constructed piece that should be priced at 1/5 of what it is.
I contacted the BBB; after a couple of months of back-and-forth, there was no satisfactory resolution and the BBB closed the complaint. The best Bob's offered was to send sectional clips (which never arrived) and a 20% refund. That would not even begin to cover replacing the chairs. Do NOT buy from Bob's; the quality is terrible and the CS even more so.

I received a call from the delivery team at 1:30pm stating the couch was damaged and the back supports were broken. They sent me photos and said a manager would call me. 1 hr later still no call from a manager and when I tracked my delivery it said unable to complete delivery. I called and spoke with someone and tried to explain I had a rental coming in the next day and needed a couch in order to not lose revenue from the rental.
They stated they could not accommodate and would have someone call me back. They called me to reschedule my delivery for 3 weeks later. I had to go buy a couch from a local furniture dealer and find a truck to take the couch to our rental unit. 1 hr after I got the new couch in our unit, the delivery truck showed up with our damaged couch!!!!

We just purchased an entire bedroom set and paid for their White glove delivery, which means they assemble everything in your home. On 7/3/19 the delivery truck arrived. Well everything was going well until it was time to assemble the bed. There was NO HARDWARE! The delivery driver and myself went round and round with Bob's Discount Furniture's "Customer Service"! They wanted me to wait 7-10 days for the hardware to be shipped to me, then 2 more weeks for them to send a technician out to assemble my bed. I told them to call the store where I purchased it from and have them take their display apart and give me the hardware. The person in customer service told me that they can't do that because they would not be able to sell the bed. I even told them to ship the parts to the store and then they could reassemble the bed when they get the parts. They still refused!
After that I told them to just pick up the entire bedroom set because I wasn't going to wait the minimum of 7 days for the hardware to arrive. She put me on hold for several minutes. When she came back, she told me that they had another bed in stock and they could deliver it on 7/8/19. I agreed to wait a few more days. So on 7/8/19 the 2nd bed arrived and there was "NO HARDWARE AGAIN"! Now I'm back on the phone calling the store (good luck trying to talk to a live person). Finally I'm speaking with someone and still not getting any results after being on the phone with them for an hour. Then a call comes thru from Manchester, CT., so I answered that call. This call came from the "Delivery Operations Team". I explained that I had the store on hold and she said I will take it from here. Basically she was telling me that this should not be happening and to give them another try on 7/12/19.
This time I was told that they were going to do a "Special Inspection" and open every box to make sure that there was no damage or missing hardware before it would be delivered to me. She also told me that I would be compensated once the bed got put together. I also made it perfectly clear to her that this bed will be assembled that day or they would be picking up the entire bedroom set! By then I was done playing their way!
Finally on 7/12/19 the 3rd bed was delivered and got assembled! As soon as the truck left I called them back to talk compensation! After explaining this nightmare 3 times before they understood what I was talking about is when she offered me a $100 Bob's Discount Furniture Gift Card. I refused to accept a gift card from their store. I told her that I wanted it back on my credit card. They told me that they could not do that! My answer was you need to find someone that I can speak to! She put me on hold and came back several minutes later. This is when she told me that they would only give me $75 back on my credit card or I had to take the $100 gift card. I told her to just give me the $75 back so I could be done with this! Now she had to transfer me to the store where I purchased the bedroom set from so they could issue me a refund.
You know I watched the delivery guys assemble this bed and it only took 16 bolts and about 28 wood screws to assemble this bed! You would think that their technicians would have these minor parts available to them so that the customer doesn't have to wait as long as we did! It took 3 bedroom sets and 9 days just to be able to to find the bag containing the bolts and screws! So after my personal experience, I will never purchase from them again!

If I could give them zero stars I would. I usually only write positive reviews and really stay away from writing a review that is negative but this time I just had to share, This company does not stand behind their product. I have purchased a few furniture items from them, an electric fireplace and last year a nice looking bedroom dresser. The day they delivered the dresser the bottom drawer was broken. Unfortunately, I had not noticed it until the delivery guys left otherwise it would have been sent back then. I called and they sent a repair service out to fix it, when the repairman came he had to attach an additional piece of wood to the inside to support the drawers as apparently, the dresser was manufactured poorly and therefore he had to make a modification. That was 17 days after I took delivery!!!
Then a few months go by and the metal tracks that are on the drawers begin to fall apart, the ball bearings in the tracks keep spilling onto the floor and the drawers can’t be open or closed. I call repair again and they tell me they will send someone out to fix the dresser, The guy shows up today and tells me he can't fix it and has to call the main office to let them know to order the parts, then the piece de resistance happens. He puts me on the phone with the customer service agent and tells me I have to pay for the new tracks! They are $25.00 per drawer and that I am out of warranty. The lesson here is to buy junk, expect junk.
The supervisor told me no matter who I contact at Bob's Discount Furniture, even if I call corporate that it will not change anything, Well guess what? It changes everything. I wouldn't spend another dime in their store just on the principle of how she talked to me and how they treated me. I have furniture in my home from much better places than that junk store, BOB your store's customer service sucks and so does the garbage you are manufacturing in China. Never again!!!

The WORST furniture you want to buy. Very POOR QUALITY. I bought a bed set along with the living room and dining room furniture 15 months ago. The salesperson highly suggested to me to purchase the protection/insurance plan called Goof. I paid $150 extra for the insurance. She stated that the insurance will cover all accidental damages.
I sat on the edge of the bed a few days ago and the side rail broke right in the middle. That’s the piece that holds the bed frame together. Now the bed is tilted. I called Bob’s first. They said they cannot do anything 'cause the one-year store warranty has already expired. They said I should call Goof and report a claim, which I did. Three days after I placed the claim, I received an email informing me that the insurance would not cover the damage as the bed got broken during the normal use (it is not an accidental damage). I can’t believe how they tricked me to buy the stupid insurance. Lesson learned. DON’T BUY POOR QUALITY FURNITURE FROM BOB'S AND CERTAINLY DON’T BUY THE INSURANCE WITH IT. IT’S WASTING MONEY!!!!

I had a bad experience with my recent order. I had to return my items due to the package/box size would not fit through my condo stairwell. I was also told by the delivery guys that I would not be refunded the $250 delivery fee. The deliver guys advised me to lie and just return the item due to a change of mind, and not mention anything about the size of the packages. I had advised the delivery guys to open the box and assemble the items upstairs, and they did not want to do that. If they had opened the box, the items would have easily fit through the stairwell.
That being said, I finally called the store and after waiting over an hour on the phone, I finally got a hold of the store manager. He did give me 100% refund, so I am giving a 2 star rating, instead of 1 star. That being said, the products are decent and affordable, but be sure to ask for measurements of the actual shipping box, and not the items, else you will be in big trouble. I finally ordered my item from another store, and they agreed to deliver the items open box and wrapped in plastic. It will fit 100%.

In turn, my sofa got torn in 5 areas, my bed headboard got a chip mark in 2 places!! We ultimately spoke to the customer service and returned it all back.

Tuesday morning I wake up at 6:30 am with every expectation that my couch is arriving. I check the routing information and again, the address is correct. What isn’t, however, is the location the truck appears to be located in. The tracking information shows it’s in NYC.
As you probably could assume, my delivery was cancelled. I immediately called and it took over an hour on hold to be put in touch with a supervisor. Not only was I not openly offered compensation for their blatant glitch in their routing, but they are unable to do anything in the way of guaranteeing a future delivery date. I took off work today for this couch, and all they’re saying is that I can be added to the delivery orders as an “add on” for tomorrow but that there’s no guarantee for anything.

Do not trust the staff at Bob's in Naperville, Illinois. I emailed corporate and they stuck with the manager's story and did nothing but say how they went over warranty items on their inventory. I have the email from corporate as evidence of their "we don't care about the customers" response to me. Let the buyers beware if dealing with Kyle or Michael, the managers in Naperville, Illinois.

We bought a bedroom set from Bob’s, even after reading all the bad reviews... Well now we are one of those bad reviews. I love the style and look of the bedroom set we bought except that they are falsely stating that a certain bed frame works for all beds. Maybe they don’t understand sizes? Anyway, the first issue I had was they sent the wrong size bed rails, which I didn’t notice until I built the bed (ugh). I have a California King mattress and they gave me “Queen/King” bedrails. I called Yon (salesperson) who is lovely to deal with and he fixed the issue and the new bed rails are being delivered. That’s no longer the issue...
When I explained that the headboard and footboard were for a King mattress, not California King, the manager told him they are “interchangeable” between King/Cal King. Now if you own a Cal King you know there is no way they are interchangeable. So now I have this bed frame where there’s TWO inches on EACH SIDE where you see the slats and feet/toes can easily get stuck because this company is a cheapskate and falsely advertising that it comes in Cal King size when it doesn’t. But the pictures on their webpage show it should be flush against the bed. My next issue is that I posted a review on their website for this bed frame, explained to not purchase if you have a Cal King bed, but then they deleted it. They won’t allow bad reviews on their own website which is shady and I will not shop there again because I don’t deal with people who aren’t honest.

Bob’s Discount Furniture tried to deliver my couch 3 times to Hershey Pa which is over an hour from my house. I called several (at least 6 times) and despite speaking to managers no one was able to correct the issue and get my furniture delivered to my house. Not only this but one of their supervisors (Brandon) was very indignant telling me that despite me calling several hours in advance of my delivery to inform them that the tracker showed the delivery going to Hershey for the third time, he said that he "couldn’t tell the future and I would just have to track the delivery all day and call back when the truck was at the house before mine to report that there was an error." Which I did and for the third time management told me that I would have to reschedule and waste more hours of my life to see if the issue could be fixed.
I canceled my order and went to another furniture store who correctly delivered my couch on time within 3 days. Their customer service is horrific. The final person I spoke with - Melissa - said she did not blame me for canceling my order and the issue was that my order kept getting routed to the warehouse in Hershey instead of where I live and not one person did anything to correct it.

Horrible experience. These people are idiots. I’m seven months pregnant and have been sleeping on the floor the past two weeks. They’ve come here twice and with the wrong parts. They call you the day before and expect you to be available when they want. Then when you become available they come before their scheduled time. Their goof proof is something their own employees purchase because they don’t trust the products they sell. If you look under most beds on display most are broken. My bed broke in five months and I spent well over one thousand dollars. No one helps you when they mess up they just keep saying they are sorry and that they want to reschedule.

I ordered the Emory-Pink full bed with the delivery and set-up. I spoke with customer service twice about the need for a box spring, because the description online was not definitive. The agent put me on an extended hold to research my question, but the response was taking so long that the agent came back online and I asked him to call me when the answer came in. Within the hour, another customer service representative called to inform me that the bed did not require a box spring. I reiterated to be sure I had the response correct. At that time, I canceled the box spring that I had ordered from another source. Today, my bed was delivered. The full delivery and set up, which I paid for, could not be accomplished because, you guessed it, there was no box spring--only four wooden slats--for the mattress, so my mattress is still in a bag next to the unusable bed. I am, of course, disappointed that I have to waste more time correcting a Bob's error.

I have been trying to get a power recliner chair repaired for my mother who is in a assisted living facility. The repair technician never ordered the necessary part. The store manager in Bridgewater said he would have the part expedited on 5/13. I inquired today, 5/15 again and still no definitive answers or date that the chair will be repaired and the manager said he had no ability to expedite a part! This is a medically necessary chair for a 100 year old woman. Bob’s does not care about customer service and do nothing to resolve issues. My mother’s quality of life depends on this chair and Bob’s is unwilling to resolve this matter.
Customer care department told me the technician cannot use his own phone to call in a report if the chair cannot be repaired because he has to move on to the next customer but he can call from my mother’s phone. When I told them she does not have a phone I was told he cannot make a call from his phone because he has to move on. Why can’t you make exceptions and do what is right for the customer. What difference which phone is used, it will take the technician the same amount of time. In short do not buy from Bob's if you expect excellent customer service because there is none.

We decided to give Bob's another chance for our dinette set. What appeared to be great quality is complete garbage. The table sitting at my home for only 2 months is already showing signs of wear? How is that possible?
I bought furniture from Ashley and Raymour and neither of which is showing any kind of wear. No, we did not purchase Bob's Goof Proof coverage for table that was going to be lightly used. Mistake #1. Well this past Easter we use the leaf of our table - take it out of the package to find it completely destroyed. Moral of the story - the discounts are not that big and the quality is not there whatsoever. Take your money and literally run. I will never return nor will I give this place a good review.

Dresser and nightstand were scratched. Since we purchased the extra protection ($199) we would have expected more than someone coming and painting in the scratches with a marker. About 6 months ago, the bed literally fell to the floor! My son is 15, and does not jump on his bed. Technician came and said the screws were too short and not enough. He drilled holes and added new screws. The bed lasted a couple of months, until it happened again! This time, I took pictures and sent them asking that the bed be replaced since my son now didn't even want to sleep in it for fear of falling.
Bob's "thorough investigation" found that they were not obligated to fix or replace the bed! We are still covered under Bob's "Goof Proof" extended warranty. We persisted, speaking to a rep named David who told us that "he thinks it's normal wear and tear and that, yes, a bed could reasonably be worn out in under 4 years!" Hours of phone calls led us to supervisor Jessica who actually looked at the pictures and agreed with us that this was a faulty manufacture. She said she was putting a claim in for replacement. We never heard another word. The next phone call brought us back to square one....not their problem! I finally bought a new bed elsewhere.

All the furniture was set to be delivered on 31st March except the dresser which they informed will come on 9th April. On the morning of 31st March, we got a call from Depot that they forgot to load the headboard of the bed on the truck and the truck left without it. We said it was ok and can arrange the king bed assembly later which was decided for 3rd April.
The delivery team that came on 31st March was extremely rude and intimidating. They taunted on us, laughed on us for I don’t know what. We offered them sodas and snacks to eat instead of them being so rude to us. However, one of the chair was broken, nightstand was completely broken, chest broken. They didn’t assemble or open the bed at all as the headboard was not there. Worst experience with the first team.
Fast forward to 3rd April, our headboard arrived and bed gets assembled. Previously, I called Bob’s customer care to let them know I don’t want the same team to come. They made sure to fulfill the request. Bed is done and we see the headboard left side top piece is completely cracked and the whole piece is chopped off. The drawer alignment is wrong. So again, going through the whole process of calling them and rearranging.
Today, 5th April, new headboard arrives. Everything is done. The headboard is wobbly and I told the guy why is it so wobbly. He says, that’s how it will always stay. I saw 2 minutes later that there is a loose screw and that they didn’t fit it properly. So, in disdain and completely disappointed I call the customer service again. The lady on the phone was extremely rude and ruthless in handling the complaint. She didn’t apologize even once for the inconvenience they are causing us.

When you have problems with your delivery, they promise fair compensation for their mistakes after all is corrected and delivered. My order was close to 11k. The "fair compensation" was $100 gift card to shop at Bob's. Refused to refund at least the delivery fee of $329. DO NOT WASTE TIME and MONEY with BOB'S.

The furniture is pure junk, made with cheap wood and materials. The beds fall apart and they say they will replace it and they don't. They say they will fix it and they can't. When you try to replace the item they say they will and once you purchased it. You will never get a new item or the item cannot be fixed. So you lose your money, we furniture going in the trash within a little over a year. Meanwhile the furniture repairs are stretched out till the year warranty is over. Then you think you got a warranty that will fix your problem. Don't buy the warranty cause it won't replace anything. So Bob's Warehouse Furniture is a RIP-off. Now I file a complaint to Better Business Bureau and anyone else I can. People stay away from Bob's warehouse furniture. It is pure JUNK. ALL THE FURNITURE IS POORLY MADE.

You must understand that when you go to a cheap two-bit company like Bob's you should not expect to get a.) quality furniture b.) quality customer service. I should have known better than to buy from here, but the pricing was very enticing. But you get what you pay for, within less than 2 years our sofa broke. We purchased the warranty program for the furniture (which honestly makes no difference) and had to fight for several months, and multiple visits from their "knowledgeable" technicians for them to finally agree that it was a manufacturer's defect and that they'll agree to replace.
This was after about 30 separate calls, with all different customer service reps who never record any information from the calls, so basically you start from square one each time, and nothing gets accomplished. We had moved addresses after purchasing the furniture and had told the reps on more than 5 occasions to update our address, but to no avail. After a long battle with Bob's (who claims to pride themselves on customer service) they begrudgingly decided to ship us a new couch.
Come the day before delivery and I receive a text saying they will be delivering the new couch to our OLD address, which was clearly explained to be an old address and had provided the new one. So I spent about 4 hours today on the phone with some real "top notch" service reps who told me there's nothing I can do, and that they have to reschedule the delivery... forcing me to take yet another day off of work as a result of their incompetency. Save yourself the incredible headache, and just spring the extra cash to get quality furniture from another company.

My wife and I purchased a bedroom set which included a king bed and headboard, dresser and two nightstands. We also ordered a rocking recliner at the same time. We also paid for delivery and setup as well as the goof coverage. The bed set was delivered within the week, which was nice. But the delivery crew made a huge mess of our room and the front porch. There were cardboard and styrofoam to clean all over. Before the crew left I checked the furniture and didn’t see any obvious problems so I signed the tablet and they went. A few minutes later as I was making the bed, I noticed a divot in the wood of the headboard. I made a mental note about it and then finished making the bed. Keep in mind this bed-set was the only real wood furniture that Bob’s sold. It is 100% mahogany.
I then moved on to the dresser to fill the drawers. When I went to open one of the drawers a piece of the glide rail dropped out and fell to the floor. That was three strikes, so I immediately called customer service. A woman picked up who likely had a cold. She coughed in my ear a few times before I asked to speak to someone else. I feel sorry she had a cold, but a customer service person should always consider the person on the other end of the phone. When I asked to be transferred, she said: “hang up and call back!” So I did, reluctantly.
The next person I spoke with apologized for the frustrations. And set up to have a “technician” come out to see the headboard and dresser. He came a few days later and wanted to use a wood filler pen on the headboard. A brand new headboard that should have no divots in wood. I declined the filler pen and asked for a headboard replacement since it’s brand new and came with the divot. He called his manager, and it was approved. He moved on to the dresser to say he had to order a new glide rail. Something I already knew and told customer service. So they could have saved a trip there too. The new headboard came a few days later, and the wood is ok. But part of the headboard, where your head would be, is loose on one side. It’s not bothering us too much, so we are just dealing with it... for now. We have the goof protection so we will bring it up with Bob’s customer service.
Finally, the chair arrived. It came in 2 pieces and is comfortable. After one day of rocking our child, its springs make a creaking pop noise when you rock up and down. It’s very noticeable when the room is quiet, but not when the TV is on. It’s almost two months later from delivery at the time I’m writing this. We are still waiting in the glide rail to arrive so it can be installed and the dresser can be used. I’m about to follow up with them to get a status and report the new headboard issue and the chair issue and to find out about the compensation I was told I’d be getting due to all these troubles. One thing for sure is I’ll never buy from Bob’s again.

Purchased a bonded leather recliner in May, 2016 along with a 5 year ‘goof proof’ warranty. In February, 2019 we noticed that there were areas in the seat of the chair where the leather was peeling. Called the number on the warranty paperwork to file a claim and sent pictures of the damage via email. We were told that the damage was not covered because it was not accidental damage but normal wear and tear. So basically, we were fraudulently sold an additional warranty when Bob’s obviously knew this type of fabric would not hold up and they would not have to make good on our claim. The salesperson never said normal wear and tear was not covered. Had the damage occurred after 5 years it would be understandable as furniture does wear out but this chair is not even 3 years old.

Purchased a mattress and sales person advised the delivery team would take old mattress. He did not advise they would not take it if it was stained. The mattress is stained and delivery team did not take it. Left it up against my garage for me to get rid of it. The reason was they cannot put a dirty mattress with new furniture. The Salesman wrongfully influenced my purchase and I would have arranged to pick it up myself. I was very disappointed with how store Manager at Nesconset store treated me. He didn't return my calls and I had to take time out of my day to go to the store. He had some junior clerk call me to say they are not going to do anything because of the stain. The delivery team literally ran into their truck and left the scene. I have video of them running down my driveway. If you plan to buy anything from Bob's Furniture then just be careful.

Called Goof Proof, they sent a technician which was not able to put the glass back either and wrote on the claim that there was water damage to the table, which it was no water damage because we have 2 dining room set and barely use the fancy table.

My mother has had great experiences shopping at Bob's, so when I got my first apartment, I decided to get my furniture from here. Big mistake. This place is terrible. First, the night before my furniture was delivered, I received a call from the store at 2030, an hour and a half before they closed, stating that I would not be receiving my headboard and footboard to my bedroom set because they did not get the shipment they were expecting from the vendor. During that phone call, not only did the manager I spoke to never apologize for the inconvenience after I chose to spend thousands of dollars with their company, he kept saying this almost never happens.
Since doing my own research into Bob's after having to deal with that, I have discovered that was a lie; this has happened to plenty of people with a now negative opinion of Bob's Discount Furniture. I receive the rest of my furniture the following day and another piece to my bedroom set, the chest, is damaged. I set that up to be exchanged when I get my head and footboard on March the 22nd and today I receive a phone call saying once again they did not receive the shipment from the vendor that they were supposed to. If I was not officially moving into my apartment in 2 days, I would send everything back and get a refund. I have been inconvenienced twice by this company. I will never buy anything from them ever again and I advise anyone reading this not to either.

On 23 Feb 2019, I visited Bob's Discount Furniture store at Saugus, MA and bought in total 14 items. Most of the items were delivered to me on 27 Feb 2019 except the Lily comforter set which was delivered to me on 05 March 2019 via FedEx. The problem started from this point as the sales representative told me that the comforter set will be delivered to me on 27 Feb 2019 but that was not the case. On the delivery date on 27 Feb, the delivery guy told me that they are not going to assemble the two lamps I brought from them as they are not supposed to do it. There exists many problems with the delivery and the service that I am going describe in detail below.
1. After the delivery on 27 Feb, when I opened the lamps at night, one of the lap was damaged along with one matinee side table. I called the customer care service at that moment to let them know about this. The customer service representative put up an exchange request for me and told me that the next available date for exchange was after 7 days. First of all you guys are delivering damaged products in the name of Bobtastic delivery at a charge of $300+ and then let the customer wait for 7 days for an exchange of an item! I complain about the wait time and the representative also noted it down in my file but there was no follow up after that. What a pathetic service.
2. After 7 days, again the delivery team came to exchange the items. They fixed the side table and handed over a new lamp. They even assembled it but when I tried to start it at night, I again saw a dent/damaged mark in the lamp. It was mostly due to the transport of the item. So, I had to call the customer service again and had to wait for more than 1 hour.
3. By the mean time, I had also received the comforter set. When I opened the comforter set, I saw one of the item, i,e., bed skirt is missing from the package. The set should be of 10 items but I only received 9 items except the bed skirt. So, I even doubt whether the item I received is a new one or used one. Who knows that as one of the item from the package itself is missing.
4. I again called the customer service to let them know about these two things. After waiting for an hour, one lady received the call and told me that they will exchange both of the items again. She told me that the exchange of the lamp will going to be on 12 March 2019 and the comforter set on 19 March 2019. I was totally frustrated at that moment and asked the representative to connect me to a customer service manager but she did not. She told me that all managers are busy at that moment. I even called the Saugus store from where I purchased the items to talk to a manager but they directly told me contact customer service for this. If you guys can not provide service to the customers, why are you selling the items at the first place.
5. During the mean time, I also noticed there are two marks on top of the night stand I purchased from them. I called the customer service again to file a complaint and they told me that one service agent will come to inspect this. After around 5 days, one service agent came to my home on 08 March 2019 and took some photos. He called to the customer service from my phone to let them about the current situation. However, no one received the call and after waiting for 13 minutes on the call, the service agent left without fixing anything. The agent told me that someone will call me within 1-2 days but nobody contacted me regarding this.
6. Today, on the day of 12 March 2019, the lamp was supposed to be exchanged as per my last service request (see point 4). However, till 3 pm, I did not hear anything from the service team. So, I called them again to ask about this. One lady after receiving the call told me that there is no request for exchange today. How pathetic it is? She told me that someone from a different team received my last call and did not put up an exchange request. How can someone in the customer service even do this?
I thought there is no point in arguing with the lady. So I told her to put up a new request for exchanging the lamp on 21 March 2019. After this, when I asked about the damage in the lamp, she just sent me an email for sending the pictures. If I am going to send the pictures again and follow up with this, then why did the service agent came and took the pictures at the first place. After the night stand, when I asked the comforter set, she connected me to the right person who handles the service related to comforter set. The guy over phone told me that I have to sent it back though FedEx and this is the only way that works for comforter. If this is the only way, then why did the service representative earlier told me that they will do the exchange on 16 March 2019. Can someone please explain this?
The guy after putting me in line for about 15 minutes, told me that there is some problem in the server and he will not be able to send the shipping label now. He is going to call me tomorrow to send me the shipping label. At this point, I even requested him to connect to a service manager but again got the same reply. Only one manager is there and ** is currently busy, so can't talk to me. Anyway, I am totally frustrated with the service/deliver and will never going to buy anything form Bob's Discount Furniture in my life time. This is by far my horrible experience with any business unit in USA. I do not have any more patience to call your pathetic customer care again and again.

We bought this sofa before the super bowl on Jan 27 Sunday 2019 from Natick store. They shipped it the following Wednesday. This was the WORST EXPERIENCE any customer can imagine. The truck driver knocked the basked ball poll in our front yard with his truck. We were shocked to see that Bob’s hire such clumsy people to deliver their furniture. On top of this we paid for this kind of delivery service. When we inquired the driver about his action he convinced us that file a complaint with Bob’s and they will take care of this damage.
Here begins CUSTOMER WORST NIGHTMARE – We called the customer service to file the complaint right then and filed our complaint. We never heard anything until the following week when we were told that our claim has to be processed by a third party. It took almost another week for someone to get back to us from this “third party” when they asked us to send the pictures of the damaged pole and two quote from two independent contractors. We did as we were told, we waited another two weeks and we got an email that do we have a video of the truck doing the damage because apparently the DRIVER LIED that he never did any such damage. We were shocked to read this email – So as a customer we are supposed to make a video when the Bob’s discount delivers our furniture - are you serious about this.
The last email we got is that we have to provide a video of the truck damaging our property because the Driver is lying that he did not do this. This whole experience makes us feel so frustrated and sad that a national level furniture store treats their loyal customers with a worst customer service one can imagine. We have been calling BOB'S every day since the email but apparently, no one cares to answer our call. We wanted to share this experience with everyone so that people are cautious about such kind of horrendous treatment. We also deserve an explanation from BOB'S DISCOUNT Furniture on when and how this situation of ours will get resolved.

I bought it in Dec 2018, they tried to schedule exchange deliveries 6 times, and every single time they were damaged. 2 months waiting for a product and they wanted me to keep it. Today 3/9/2019 (is the 7th time), once again, they came damaged. So I decided to return it, but the customer service agent told me that it is not an option, according to Bob's policy a return/refund is not an option. After almost 1 hour on the call, finally a supervisor could accept the return, but they don't accept to refund the delivery cost (which is almost $100)... totally unacceptable... Nightmare from beginning to end.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND BOB'S, even its customer service said, and I quote: "we can't ensure that a product will come in good condition, your next delivery could be in worst condition than your current product, so I suggest you to keep what you already have"... That means they don't do a quality check before a product is put in a box.

However, since I was already expecting a delivery this weekend I took off from work and made myself available. Now, I've wasted my weekend and Bob's failed to deliver as promised.

I did not receive a phone call to let me know the timeframe they will be arriving, which I was told some will call me. The tech arrived at the wrong address. Within 5 minutes, the tech leaves my house and doesn't inform me of anything, I don't know if he fixed it or if he is going to fix it or anything. I am clueless. I called the tech and even left a voicemail and never called me back.
To get ahold of someone from Bob's Furniture insurance department, I have to go through many different prompts and once I finally got to the right department, they failed to explain to why my furniture is not covered by the manufacturer warranty. Not to mention that I spoke with the supervisor which according to her, had no manager and that her title (supervisor) was the highest position and all she kept telling me was "Unfortunately, I am able to help you". I asked to please explain to me why the manufacturer warranty does not apply to my case and she was unable to explain that to me. NEVER BUYING FROM BOB'S FURNITURE AGAIN! Bob's Furniture, please look into my case if you would like **.

Had a bad experience with parts that failed for a product. To be honest the wood or material that they make is so cheap, you will notice cracks on the parts, even though you do not put stress on them. I had a dining table with warranty. Unlucky me, my warranty expired, so I had to order the part in September 2018, with delivery date in last week of November 2018. Come November, customer service tells me that the part is ready and will be shipped and I should be getting it by first week December 2018. Delivery failed, so I call back to them asking what happened and they mention, the part that they received is damage, so they have to re-order the part once again for me.
Now this time, they gave me a delivery deadline end of late February. I called the office on 28th February 2019 to find out what is going on with the part. After going through their crappy telephone automated services, I get hold of a customer representative. After wait of 5 mins, customer service tells me that they no longer have parts maintained by Bob's. Literally, I was taken for ride of 6 months for replacing a leg of my dining table. Even if I had the warranty, the customer service said I would have to my leg replaced. What does this mean, warranty you get the part and without warranty no part. Guys, there are better place to go for furniture. Bob's IS BIG HOLE ON YOUR POCKETS, DON'T EVER BUY PRODUCTS FROM THE STORE. We have the real experience of the quality and thereafter their parts service is so poor. BEWARE OF BOB'S FURNITURE.

Ordered a sectional February 15, 2019. It was delivered February 23, 2019. The delivery guys were awesome. They helped moved the older sofa out of the way and set it up in like...30 Minutes. The couch is too big for our living room and my SO really hates it. I contacted customer service and we were told once it’s accepted it can’t be returned. We were NEVER told about the return policy. The customer service woman, Maria, said it was on the back where they had us sign. Nope. We were never told to sign or review their return policy. Our salesman, Ed **, gave us his cell number and told us we could contact him about anything. I texted him and all he said was “sorry. Salespeople Can’t get involved.” We got a reselection claim approved, but we just wanted a refund. I will never never do business with Bob’s Furniture again. And I will tell anyone who asks how crappy it is.

Bob's Discount Furniture Goof Proof Protection??? I purchased a sectional in 2017. Six to eight months after the sectional was in my home the piping on the sectional began to fray. Because I had the “Goof Poof” warranty I called Bob's and reported the problem. After a month of going back and forth with them they finally sent new seat casings and the service people came out and replaced it. However 6 months later I’m am the same place with this sectional. Only now the piping on the arms are fraying as well.
I filed another claim. They sent out a supervisor. He reported that Bob's has had so many issues with this product that he could not count. Ok I waited for them to call me back to tell me the next steps only for them to deny my claim. Well, they will replace the casing but will not replace the ottoman or any other part because they don’t meet the requirements for replacement. Now just 8 months ago it met the requirements but now it doesn’t??? Oh did I mention that they do not even carry the sectional anymore!!! Please don’t get fooled by their advertising. It’s a scam!!!

I've had my sectional in my family room for two yrs. It is not heavily used because my family spends more time in the living room than the family room. Anywho, I was removing the cushions to vacuum underneath and noticed a large tear front to back. It turned out to be a seam separation. I called, They sent a tech out and he even said, "This shouldn't have happened. I will report this to them. You should be getting a replacement." After three weeks I never heard anything so I called. The woman on the phone said this is not covered under manufacturer's warranty and has nothing to do with how it's made.
I asked, "Then what is covered?" "The material separated from the stitching." Although she had photos there that clearly shows the seam, She repeatedly said it's not the way it was made that caused the problem. I asked for a revisit. She said they do not send guys out twice. Not sure what to do at this point but I will NEVER buy here again. Prices are OK and in store customer service will get you to buy because they are very nice but it's not worth the headache. GO ELSEWHERE. Value City is much better???

Paid in full and scheduled delivery weeks in advance. Had to travel 3 hours to destination address (vacation home) to take delivery "between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm". Received notice from dispatcher, the truck was unable to deliver due to road construction (which is _within sight_ of destination). Easily circumvented. GPS would LITERALLY have redirected truck around the block (5 minute detour). Dispatcher states he will call truck and call us with update. He omits it was the last stop for the truck which we discovered later. Never called back. Several calls and 5 hours later, customer service (at call center in Arizona) advises the delivery would have to be rescheduled...soonest, 3 weeks. It should be noted, Bernie & Phyl's furniture truck delivered to the same address, same day and time with no trouble.

Just as the others were misled with Bob’s Furniture Store’s so called Goof Proof Warranty, so were we! Our salesman told us that it covered and damages that occurred within 5 yrs given it was not intentional. We thought Oh Great warranty! NOT! One of the recliner chairs on our sectional popped loose when my mother sat down and one of our bar stools has bulging wood on the base and leg opposite the screw on the other side as if it the tension is causing it to split. Naturally I wasn’t worried because we because it was covered under the warranty. I called to report it and was told due to my mother “sitting” down, that’s normal behavior not accidental behavior so it’s not covered and sense I didn’t know how the bat stool just cracked on its own, that too was not covered since there was no known accident that caused it!
I asked her to explain what is considered an accident and she couldn't. I called Bob’s corporate office and was told the same and since my manufacturer's warranty expired just 1 month prior, I have to pay for repairs! We paid $400 for a rip-off warranty that covers nothing but per their example stains or rips caused buy accidents like knives, pens or markers left in your pocket! Absolutely a RIP OFF!!! We will never buy from BOB'S AGAIN!!

This is a scam. When you purchase this warranty you are being told everything is covered. Shortly after purchasing living set it began to fall apart at the seams. When I called to have it repaired they sent a repair person to sew it by hand. He did one cushion and said he would return. Once he called in he handed me the phone and left. Now the customer service rep stated they cannot warranty it because this was not an accident. I realize this was not an accident it was poor workmanship or sub-par product. Then I was offered to purchase covers on my dime. My response was why buy more garbage. After spending thousands of dollars over several years. Bob will never get a dime from me.

I can't believe I have to rate this with at least 1 star. I'd go negative stars if it was an option. So severely disappointed in this sham of a furniture store. I knew that the quality of their furniture is sub-par but thought I'd give it a try just because it is cheap. The furniture started to fall apart pretty much right away so I called into their customer service dept. I should've read more reviews on their "Goof Proof" extended warranty which apparently only covers "accidental" damages. The sales person told me that it will cover everything for 5 yrs. BS! They will then explain to you what their definition of an "accident" is after they've evaluated your claim and deny it. You're better off spending the extra money on better quality with actual warranty coverage. Lesson learned and Bob's just lost another customer.

I have shopped at Bob's before and had a pretty pleasant experience. So when my husband and I were in the market for a new dining room table, we decided to go back to Bob's. It started with me ordering the table online and I received a call the next to day to schedule delivery. A few hours later, I get a message that the order was cancelled and my money would be refunded. They never gave a reason, but I had recently changed my name and figured maybe that was the why. Since I thought it was a name issue on my card, we reordered the table with my husband's card instead. At this point, I was not upset since they said my refund would come in the next few days.
Fast forward 2 weeks (I gave it plenty of time), I called Bob's and they told me it could take a few weeks and that it was still processing. 2 weeks after that, I called again. They were unsure what the problem was and that they would have the accounting department call me back. 3 more phone calls over the next month and a half went the same way - they always said the accounting department would call me back. Finally, I became frustrated enough and asked to talk to corporate. Calling the corporate number just transferred me to the store, which is not what I wanted. They make talking to someone at corporate extremely hard (probably on purpose), but I was not giving up. This was $400 that I wasn't getting back.
FINALLY, I was able to talk to someone from corporate. I told her my story and she looked into it and said my refund was already initiated. I assured her that I did not receive my money and that I would be happy to submit bank records to verify this. She told me there was nothing they could do about it and that I should call my bank. I called my bank and confirmed that the money wasn't processing or hidden somewhere. Once again I called them back (this is probably the 10th call at this point) and asked to speak to the manager. The "manager" was EXTREMELY rude. I usually do not get angry at customer service reps because I understand that they have it rough, but when someone is telling me, and I quote, that it is not her problem that my money wasn't showing up in my bank account then all bets are off.
After getting absolutely nowhere with asking her to send me the information saying that the refunded was given on their end and again offering to send them bank statements, I told her I was filing a charge with my bank. She literally responded with "I don't care what you do." I was shocked. I can't believe the audacity someone could have when it is THEIR JOB TO SERVICE ME, THE CUSTOMER.
I ended up filing a charge with my bank and they determined that there was wrongdoing on Bob's end so I was refunded the money, but it should have never have gotten to that point. If I am offering to provide you proof that I did not receive my money, then as a business, you should be doing everything you can to help me. I will NEVER shop at Bob's again and will be telling everyone I know not to as well. BEWARE of Bob's and their unprofessional business practice!!

I will start by saying I first placed my order for a dresser and a nightstand with Bob's online - after a couple of days of being unsure of my selection I went in person to the Worcester store. I explained my doubts to the associate - we looked around and I found something I liked slightly better so he made the exchange in the computer and seeing nothing was delivered yet it should have been an easy switch. I paid for my new pieces and waited for my credit on the previous selected pieces. Then I wait for the new set - delivery was smooth and delivery guys were wonderful and quick. Weeks go by and I never see my credit from before - so now I've paid for 2 sets - I called 3 times! They ask me to wait another 3-5 days every time I call - I call again and this time a little more agitated and lo and behold the refund was never even started - never processed by the first associate. Yaaaaaa. I finally receive my credit!
Now getting back to my new set - when the delivery guy put my dresser down it was immediately wobbly - he tells me it's because of the legs (mission style) and on thick rugs it will wobble - UGHHH. I don't like it at all. Today I call to say it's only been 3 weeks and I'm not happy with how it sits on my rug and would like to have a refund - they say absolutely not - hmmm so I ask for a store credit and they say absolutely not -- okkk now what! They say they are sorry but only if the piece was defective they would send me another one. I tell them I don't want the same style dresser though and they say, "Sorry you picked it out. UGHHH.

On 1/9/19 the delivery driver arrived and informed us the wrong adjustable base was sent and the bed could not be installed. We refused the merchandise and it was sent back. I called the store on 1/9/19 to inform them and went there in person on the same date and a new delivery date was set for 1/10/19. On 1/10/19 the installers arrived and advised us the bed could not be installed since the footboard was not included in the delivery. I immediately contacted the store and customer service to advise them of this, and was given a new delivery and install date of 1/12/19.
On 1/12/19 the installers arrived around 7:58 am, once again, when they went to install the bedding they notice the screws for the bed frame were missing. I called the customer care center at 10 am as soon as they opened. I spoke with Daniel and advised him if the bedroom set could not be installed today, I wanted to return the merchandise for a full refund. Upon conclusion of speaking with Daniel, he advised me he spoke to his supervisor who stated the install staff would return to the distribution center, pick up the hardware and once approved by the distribution center, they would be back today to install the merchandise.
I waited and once I did not get a response I contacted the store. I was advised the managers were in a meeting and someone would call me back. I arrived at the Woodbridge location at 2:12 pm and asked to speak to a manager. I spoke with the salesperson and Maria at the front desk. Another women was speaking with them and working on my issue. I again asked for the Manager and the women named Tracy advised me that my delivery charges would be refunded.
I was still not satisfied, since I asked to speak to a manager and still was not granted my request. I finally asked the other workers at the front desk "who the manager" was and they advised me it was Tracey. I am highly disappointed in her managerial skills, Tracey never stated she was the manager and never spoke to me when I requested it.
I then asked to speak to the store manager. I spoke with Dominick ** and made him aware of what occurred and my dissatisfaction (with tears running down my eyes from frustration). I also advised him of the request to speak to Tracy and how I was brushed off. Dominick, assured me he would speak to Tracy regarding my dissatisfaction. My salesperson Jonathan was sympathetic to my issue and tried to make me whole in every way, but he kept being told by Tracey there's not much she could do. The end result my new delivery date is set for 1/16/19. I am appalled at the service I received, as I have had to double my blood pressure medicine and have had a headache for the last 5 days. I will never shop at Bob's ever again, or recommend this business to anyone.

I purchased a $2,700 sectional from Bob's furniture and the additional Goof Proof. The sectional had two ends that were reclinable and an armless reclinable piece. It is a piece of junk and do not buy furniture from Bob's. Their furniture is made terrible that's why it is so cheap compared to competitors. This is the second time I have purchased a living room set from Bob's in 15 years and both times the furniture looked at 20 years old after a year. We live in a home with no children and no pets. Just my boyfriend and I. Half the sectional was never used. All of the fabric started to tear away from the seams on the section of the sectional that we never sat on. It was almost like the fabric dried out or something and just started to split three pieces out of 5. Believe it or not the two that didn't have a problem with the two we sat in regularly every single evening.
I had only owned the furniture for a year-and-a-half. The seams are not coming apart. The fabric attached to the seams is tearing away from the stitching. They told me that from regular wear and tear. Can you imagine that basically what they're saying is even if you don't use your furniture which we didn't it's going to fall apart. I promise you save your money save up money and go someplace else. Their furniture is junk. Their service is **. Goof proof is a scam. I had to have the armless recliner replaced once already because it's made so cheap that they attach the metal lever to a tiny piece of plastic and it snaps off and then they give you the runaround when they go to replace it.
It has been a terrible experience that same exact piece has broken again and their representative that came out to my home actually said it's a design defect. They should put a solid piece of plywood in there. It gets caught on this little piece and snaps. We've seen it hundreds and hundreds of times. He said there is no way to fix it. You need a new piece. He explained that to customer service on the phone. They said okay. He handed me my phone back and said they'll take care of it from here and he left. She put me on hold honest-to-god. I think it was to wait for the technician to get out of my driveway came back and said we actually can order a part for that. I knew they couldn't because this is the second time this has happened in the first time they put me through the same game.
I explained to her that this is already happened to me in the past and she assured me that there was a new part and it would be delivered by the first week of December. Of course I never received the part. When I reached out to them they expressed to me that it was on backorder. It's now January 12th and I still don't have the part so I reached out to them again and they told me that part was already delivered and I signed for it. Fortunately for me all communications with them have been done via email so I have all of the documentation.
When I reached out to them to express that I did not receive the item and I did not sign for it. They told me to go to the Post office and checked there. So I did and when they told me they had no record of the tracking number that Bob's Furniture gave me finally pick the phone up and called them and I read them the riot act. I demanded a copy of the so-called signed delivery sheet. I wanted a picture in a part number of the items they supposedly had dropped off. I wanted the driver who dropped it off. I wanted the tracking number after going through everything I just said here and in more detail. She put me on hold and came back and said that the supervisor has agreed to order me a new piece of furniture since it's been on backorder.
They lie. They try to break you down and they hope that you will eventually give up. Do not give up on them. Hold them accountable. I have so many conversations going back and forth between their customer service and how many times have changed what they said and expressing to them that the so-called wear and tear and my furniture. My parents brought furniture 20 years ago from Jordan's and it's still in their home and is fine. My boyfriend stop furniture from Bernie and Phyl's about 10 years ago. There's nothing wrong with it. My boyfriend's mother bought a sectional from Bernie and Phyl's 15 or so years ago. Everything still works and looks fairly new.
I have had this furniture 18 months and it is falling apart. It is garbage. Read the reviews. There are no good reviews about Bob's Furniture. I am now waiting again to hear from them about when do you plan on replacing this piece of furniture. We are going on months now. They are terrible and I don't know how the district attorney and Consumer Reports and whoever else goes after people like this. I can't believe they haven't been reprimanded punished or sued their ** off. They are terrible.

Two weeks ago I had a recliner chair delivered. Due to multiple spine surgeries I tend to sleep in it often. I also suffer from fibromyalgia along with several autoimmune disorders and a weak immune system. And am chemical sensitive meaning I can experience very bad allergic symptoms, headaches, stomach issues, etc. On the first night I did just that. The chair was made with polyurethane foam. The smell was so strong it cause my system to flare. Along with the fact the chair was much too hard for me and the footrest handle was not properly installed. Stuck out three inches from side of chair. I called the store. Explained in detail my issues, my health, the chair was too hard and the smell of the poly foam causing me to have a reaction and was allowed to exchange for something else.
One week later they delivered another chair and sadly I had the same issue only worse. I had hives, rash, severe headache and asthma attack. I immediately called the corporate office in Manchester explaining my health issues how sick I was the previous night and asked that it be picked up and my credit card refunded. Knowing it’s not their policy but I physically was being made ill from the polyurethane foam and as there was nothing in my price range that I could exchange for as they all had polyurethane foam I needed to go elsewhere.
After being put on hold several times she returned and claimed I returned the prior chair because it was too soft. That since there was nothing in the system stating I had health issues (they totally didn’t report the true reason for the need to return which was my health) that I was lying. I feel they wanted to cover their own **. They refuse to help this time. Now I have a chair that I can’t use as is. Going in the garage tomorrow because it’s making me sick. I’ll never buy from them again. My skin feels like a million bee stings. My inhaler is needed and my stomach is killing me. Being chemical sensitive the allergic reaction is unbearable. If you have any sensitivity to smells RUN FAST FROM BOB'S. I’m beside myself. I want to cry. I don’t know what else to do. I just want it gone. BEWARE OF BOB'S!!! They’re out for themselves.

Two accent chairs were delivered damaged. One chair had a rip in the arm and the other accent chair was damaged in the back. I called to report and there was a 10-15 minute wait time on hold. I was told they had to sent out a tech to look at damage so I scheduled and had to miss some work time. Tech fixed one chair but the other chair needed replaced which now required me to schedule another delivery, miss more work because they won't deliver on a Saturday unless its a new order. I don't think I should be penalized because their delivery service damaged my chairs or they came from the warehouse like this and now the delivery must be a weekday when I work. The day the chair was to be delivered I was in my way home from work to meet delivery people- I got a call from driver- I told him I'd be there in about 10 minutes.
Then I immediately got a call from a rep from Bob's delivery- which I again told her I was on my way. As I was pulling up to my house I saw the delivery truck pulling away- I tried to wave them down but they ignored me and left. Had to call and was on hold again for 10- 15 minutes. I did use call back option and they could not help me. I don't think they really cared and I had to reschedule again for next week and miss more work. We'll see what happens next week.

I purchased the longest sofa Bob's sells on 11/17. About 3 months ago I noticed the cushions were going flat. This past New Year's Eve, my son in law sat down and we heard a crack. I wrote a Google review and Bob's did reach out to me. Bob's told me they would send someone out to look at the sofa in which they did and just left. It turns out the frame was cracked. The technician made a call with my phone to headquarters, gave me my phone back, made a quick beat to the door and left.
I talked to Ethan and he told me it wasn't a manufacturer defect, even though there are no center support legs for such a long sofa. The sofa in 1 month passed the one year warranty. The frame of the sofa cracked because of a manufacturer defect because we do not allow any mistreatment of our furniture. I never had a sofa go bad as fast as the one from Bob's Furniture. Apparently they really don't believe in the quality of their furniture because they offered no additional help. I will never step another foot into a Bob's Furniture store again.
