My experience shopping with Jennifer Convertibles was very wonderful. It was an in-store purchase. The salesman was very nice, no complaints whatsoever. The only thing I find about the store was when you buy something as a floor model; they don't even have anything for you to wrap it with. They don't have the clear wrap, I guess that's the store policy, but that's not good. At least have something to wrap the furniture up. But other than that, there was no problem with the store, and the salesperson. Everything else was fine.

We made an in-store purchase of a recliner sofa from Jennifer Convertibles, and the representative who made the sale was very good. She was a really helpful salesperson, so I had a pleasant experience. The delivery team also did a good job, so we’re perfectly satisfied with the services and the delivery.

We ordered our couch Sept 10th 2015. On the contract it said 4 to 6 weeks for delivery so we were having our floors redone and got rid of our couches figuring we would be without couches for a couple of days. We are now going on 8 weeks. Still no couch... Very frustrating. When we call the store we are promised calls back but never get them.

Dear Mrs Behlen,
I am very sorry to hear you are having issues with your delivery. I will have someone look into this matter and find out what is going on. We will resolve this for you. Best, Terry-Ann

I purchased a living room set (sofa and loveseat) from Jennifer Convertibles in July but I didn't get it until September because they ran out. The sales representative was friendly and the delivery crew was very good. However, I didn't like the fact that I had to wait an extra two months for my delivery. I'm happy with the product, but I disliked the long wait for it.

Thank you for being so patient and waiting for your furniture delivery. Unfortunately from time to time we are faced with items being back ordered. It’s a minor flaw that we strive to improve on. Again thank you for waiting and I hope you are enjoying your new furniture.

I like the feel of the sectional sleeper sofa that I purchased from Jennifer Convertibles. I chose them for their price on the 4th of July sale. Mary, the sales representative, was very nice and helpful. We had a tight freeze and it swelled in our house. We bought another sofa so I was replacing furniture and she was very sympathetic and pushed our orders real quickly. We were having a very unpleasant time but it was very pleasant and easy experience with them.

The sales person at Jennifer Convertibles was super friendly, non-overbearing, and helpful in terms of comparing the different products in the showroom. We went with our daughter, and were in and out in a very short amount of time. Also, the pricing is great and the quality is good. We had a great experience and would go back.

I got good value for how much I pay at Jennifer Convertibles. So far everything has been positive and I am enjoying what I bought. I like the color, style, comfortableness and price of the loveseat and ottoman I purchased from them. I got the items at 40% discount at their store, and the sales rep was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and was very informative. There was a little inconvenience when I had the products delivered at my house because the ottoman arrived broken -- they should have checked that out before delivering it. However, I didn't have any problem with getting it back. They told me it was going to take about two weeks, but instead I called the store where I bought it and they immediately sent it to me in about five days.

I purchased a sectional and recliner chair which was delivered Labor Day weekend. The sectional had to be replaced in which I kept calling the store and after a week of not getting a call back I had to go in and speak with a manager. After receiving new couch it was defective again. I have spoken with Meryl ** more than once and I am hoping for a call back from her this week. I have been corresponding with an email address Photos@jenniferconvertibles.com and at first they were very quick to help me. Kept telling me I would hear back in three business days, heard nothing. I reached out. Told me that they would get back to me in two business days. It's now been over a week and nobody has gotten back to me. Why give a time frame if you can't comply with it. And to ignore emails makes me feel like I'm not important as a consumer.
I wanted to cancel my protection plan which I paid $260 for because I no longer want to deal with them and they're giving me a hard time with giving me my money back. I'm very dissatisfied and very disappointed in the customer care and the quality of care that they treat their customers with. Would totally never recommend them. I feel that in retail you should have the utmost customer service experience as there are many competitors out there.

Hello Vanessa,
We are sorry your furniture was delivered with defects; it is never our intent to deliver damage merchandise, or provide our customers with anything less then wonderful service. We are glad however to see this matter is being resolved with you.Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take care of these concerns for you.

I bought a couch from Jennifer Convertibles eight years ago but my cat destroyed it. The couch was good so I decided to go back. I have to buy a new one every two or three years. The prices were slashed down when we went back to the store. The sales representative was very helpful and answered all of our questions. I was happy with the delivery time and it's great that they came to the apartment right on schedule. Putting the couches into the living room was not the easiest thing to do but the delivery crew was very nice and did a good job. I'm very happy, very comfortable and seeing very good progress. We love the new couches and overall it was fantastic.

I got a couch, a chair and ottoman from Jennifer Convertibles. I took advantage of the complimentary design consultation and it was a good experience. They delivered the items and the crew was fine. However, one of the cushions that were delivered to us had a stain on it and I'm still working to get it rectified. They've come out, taken pictures, and they tried to have it come off but it wouldn't. So now I'm just waiting from the service department to figure out what they're going to do. It's been a month now. I realize accidents happen, but as long as it's rectified it would be okay. I paid a lot of money and it's not 100% the way it's supposed to be.

My husband and I purchased a leather blend sleeper sofa from Jennifer Convertibles in 2009. We paid a great deal more for it than I wanted to ($964.49, to be exact), but was assured from the sales associate in the storeroom that it was money well spent because the couch was quality and we would be happy with it for years to come. He said that if we were worried about anything happening to it, we should strongly consider purchasing the Jennifer Convertibles "Upholstery Shield Lifetime Leather Protection Plan," as it would cost us $99.99 extra but that it would give us peace of mind. We took his advice and paid for the plan. Within only a few years of owning it, we noticed that leather pieces were practically falling off of it.
The couch we had purchased was black leather, and underneath what was a very, very thin skin of leather was a pink foam type of material. This unnatural effect not only made the couch look decades older than it was, but it was immediately jarring to anyone who happened to see it (which was everyone that entered our home as the living room was right in the entryway.) I contacted Jennifer Convertibles immediately and at first they tried to disclaim any responsibility because of what they termed "peeling." I had to argue with two different departments and then they said they would send a technician by to repair it. The technician did in fact repair it, and he used a different, more durable material to do so. I am not a fabric expert, but based upon the feel of the material I would say it is closest to a vinyl but it is definitely not leather.
We probably should be upset that our "leather" couch now feels like a kids' Halloween Batman costume, but we have been grateful that thus far, it has not experienced the same disintegrating fate as its predecessor. Now, here we are two years after the initial repair, and the same thing that happened to our cushions is now happening to the arms and sides of our sofa! I called Jennifer Convertibles and immediately brought this to their attention and was told that the last time, they extended a one-time courtesy to us by repairing it, and they will not be doing so again. They said that if we wanted to "correct the furniture," we could contact their claims center who would give us the price of the parts and labor. The e-mail was not signed with a person's name or contact number, but was rather just signed "Jennifer Convertibles."
I can say that I will not be paying "Jennifer Convertibles" any more money to correct the shoddy workmanship or materials they used on my furniture. I already paid them over $1,000.00 and feel like instead of a "Lifetime Leather Protection Plan," I signed on for a "Lifetime Headache." I would rather spend the money suing them in small claims court and let them see if the judge buys their story, because I am done buying. This is the route I will be going if this company does not send the technician to fix my damage. If you are thinking about buying from this company, I would advise you to spend your money elsewhere. We have purchased furniture from several different companies, including Sears, Seaman's, Macy's and even Ikea, and have not experienced the grief we have with Jennifer Convertibles.

I will have one of our customer care reps. contact you asap to resolve this matter with you.

I bought a sectional couch from Jennifer Convertibles because of the advertisement price. I like that it was able to fit in my basement. I bought them from the store and the sales representative was perfect and helpful. And the three delivery crew came on the time and called me before they came. They removed all the packaging, carried the couch downstairs and were very careful not to damage any walls going down. The gentlemen assembled it very quickly and were very polite. And I appreciate that no mess was left behind. My experience with Jennifer's was very positive and would definitely buy more from them as my needs become available. I'm very satisfied and I would recommend them to a friend.

I couldn't find the type of sectional I was looking for anywhere else and bought it at Jennifer Convertibles, which was on sale. I love the whole look. The sales rep was very helpful and took a long time with me to pick out the fabric because I didn't pick the fabric off the floor. He was excellent. I didn't get that from any other place I went. However, the thing I'm worried about is that I got something in the mail from Guardsman and I never even purchased it.

Jennifer Convertibles have the guarantee if it got stained, I could buy the insurance. Everything was on sale so I got the down-filled sofas because it's soft and I like the way it feels so I bought two sets. Their product is good. However, the representative wouldn't let me combine them in the same delivery, charged me for two deliveries, and then never told me when the delivery was. They didn't even call me a day before and say it was gonna be delivered next day which is one things that they should work on. So apparently they just showed up and then he wanted to recharge me for third delivery fee but I argued with him so he didn't charge me any more. It was all dirty, so they had to go and get me a new one.

I went to Jennifer Convertibles looking for a small convertible sofa. I bought this little cheap thing at $399 and then upgraded all these things to the point that it got up to just under $1000. Money is not the issue. I expect that when I buy something and it comes, that it's at least workable. This thing has wires thicker than what you get at the dry cleaner, the wires hang off each side of it. There's something that fell off it, it's sitting on the floor. The reason I paid so much for this garbage thing is that I wanted a better mattress. A friend of my mother and her friend, an older woman in her 80's, they were coming and this is the bed they were going to sleep on. They were so afraid of it because when you close it, if you're not careful it will break your fingers. It snaps like a trap when you trap an animal. It's very scary.
I would never make a case if I didn't think they are wrong. I called them and they said they don't take any returns. I told them I returned a mattress many years ago. There's some law about that. I know that because my husband does that. In most places, if you're very unhappy with the product, you get to return it. Now their policy is iron clad. I already sent them an email with photos of wires hanging. If you're over 55, you can't really sleep on this bed. It's too short and the mattress goes up. There's a big hole behind it because they want you to be able to sit up to watch TV. But I needed it to be a bed that is flat. It's not flat. It doesn't fit people. It fits kids or very short people. It's a joke. It's a complete joke. And to spend almost $1000 on this thing is just stupid.
American Express put my money aside and were trying to work this out. But every time I talk to Jennifer Convertibles staff, she mentions about their no-return policy. That policy is only if somebody picks a color and then they didn't like the color when they finally got it. That's a different animal. It's brand new and it has things hanging off it. It's inferior, it's not made well. I hate this. I'm ready to put it out on the street in New York somewhere and call it a loss because I don't want to get into a lawsuit about this, it's not worth it. But I'm really pissed about it. It's not right and I hate that. I'm very dissatisfied. I don't recommend them to anybody.

Well, I after threatening to cancel the order completely I was phoned that day by the store saying that they can deliver all of the furniture with the exception of the chair and ottoman which will arrive at the end of October and not charge me for delivery which I agreed to.
Since I paid the delivery in advance, I am still waiting for them to credit me for it. The guys who delivered the furniture did a great job, they came in great condition. I am only giving them one extra star because I wouldn't use them again or recommend them since I had to put up such a stink to get most of the furniture to my home in a reasonable time.
I noticed that immediately after my review there's a flood of 5-star reviews (I question if they're real) from other customers. I guess they didn't have to wait 2 months for furniture like I did? Maybe they changed their delivery operations, who knows?

On labor day we ordered a living room set and spend $2800. It was stated on our receipt that it will take 2-3 weeks for delivery. After the three weeks we called the showroom and we were told it had not arrived yet and would be another week. We waited a week and called on Monday. We were then told it will take another three weeks to get it delivered to the showroom and then would be delivered to our home. First we emailed customer service and they said within 48 hours, they would get back to us. It seems that they attempted to call but did not leave a message, so we decided to go to the showroom and speak to them face to face. I spoke to the sales associate (whom I assume that was the store manager) and he said he cannot cancel the order without permission from the district manager and that he would call us today. He did not call us.
After speaking to the folks at the showroom yesterday, I again called customer service and the woman that I spoke to didn't know how to put our order number in the computer and said that we have to speak to the manager because she handles all of the cancellations. I called her the next day and she said that she couldn't cancel the order and we had to call the showroom. We called the showroom again and the woman who I spoke to said that the manager is not there. All I am trying to do is cancel my order and get a refund. They did not deliver the merchandise in a timely manner as was stated on the receipt and never called to notify us of any delays. They expect us to sit in camping chairs in our living room for another 2 weeks. We are just looking to move on from here.

Hello David,
Please allow me to apologize for the total lack of customer service you received. This is not the way we strive to conduct our business and I'm truly sorry you had to experience this. Please allow me to look into the matter and get back to you asap.

I’m happy with what I purchased from Jennifer Convertibles. I also had a very good experience with them at the store. Last year I was in the process of moving and I went to a few furniture stores, and Jennifer Convertibles was my last. I was contemplating on a piece of furniture but I ended up not getting it. Then I had bought something from another furniture store, but when they brought it here, it couldn’t fit through my apartment door. So I ended up almost for a year that I didn’t have furniture. I then happened to look into Jennifer Convertibles again, just because they had more of like a variety of colors and styles than what I found in the other furniture stores and I ended up coming across a great piece that I really liked.
I liked my purchase because it wasn't too big, the size is nice, it was gray (I wanted something gray), and it was a sectional, it has like the piece that kind of comes out long that you can kind of stretch your feet across. The size and everything ended up being perfect for my living room. Plus, it was on sale. With Jennifer Convertibles, I have no complaints, even from down to the salesman that helped me out because I actually called prior to me coming in and he asked to be there when I came two days later. I was not here when it was delivered but there were no problems. Everything was together and nothing was damaged.

I purchased a living room set and was told if I took out the guardsman protection plan it would cover any damage to the furniture even animal damage.

This is a long story. From day 1, told I was able to pay with a credit card through finance but to find out it had to be debit. Then it was delivered and there were problems - 3 seats did not work. 4 weeks later the tech came and said he had to order parts, could be 3 more weeks. Then I went and paid the store a visit and the manager called the service dept. and told me that someone would be there in 3 days with the parts to fix it. Well 3 days went by and no call, called manager -he told me I didn't hear him when he told me that the parts were going to be UPS to me. Wait it gets better, he told me that it was easy for me to install the part!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
I went to the store again and he told me he didn't say that, oh boy! I was furious. The tech called me to see if the parts came and the manager told him to call. IT is not the tech's responsibility to tell me that, then he told me he is going on vacation, more time it's not being fixed. I told them to come and get the couches back, he said it doesn't work like that. I said I'll bring them to you. Hey corporate, let's see what you're going to do.

Jennifer Convertibles is in our local area and I purchased a sectional sofa and a chair from them at a Fourth of July sale. They were great, really good, efficient, very professional and considerate. We are thrilled with the quality of our sofa because I bought something years and years ago and quality has always been good. It looked as good as this one does, so maybe it has improved. However, somebody's got to fix the phone service at our local store because it was really irritating. I literally had to drive down there to get somebody on the phone that I could understand as it sounded like they're underwater. They're frustrated. and not getting any attention, complaining and nobody's listening to them. Fix their phone.

I purchased a leather sectional from the store along with a Guardsman protection plan - what a joke. The furniture kept breaking and they sent someone to fix the sofa - 3X! When I complained about how unhappy I was with the furniture quality, inconvenience of a constant broken couch and poor service, they got angry. After finally coming to a settlement for a replacement, guess what? Jennifer no longer had that sectional or anything close in size and style. They are completely unwilling to help in this matter and were rude and dismissive. They are really quick to sell you a protection plan that costs you money and in the end causes you to pay double for a replacement!!
Updated on 11/20/2015: Well after months of dealing with a broken sectional and finally getting a subpar resolution, here's my replacement furniture. Please notice the quality or lack thereof, more appropriately. Once again, called immediately to report my unhappiness at furniture that can't stay in place. You are unable to even sit on the furniture without the cushions falling from beneath you. The cushions are attached by small patches of VELCRO. How can Jennifer advertise the integrity of their company and furniture and this is what we get!!! The Big Kahuna is awful!

My first NEW purchase! How excited I was a NEW couch. Well, if only that easy. I purchased this couch February 2015. It was delivered April 2015. The delivery was rough. They were squeezing the couch into door when the legs needed to be removed. The guys just didn't care or won't take time to figure how to manage and get into the apartment. July 28th, I had it - Sent an email to photos@jenniferconvertible.com. Wrote a detailed email w/ pictures: The couch is less than 6 months old and after submitting pictures noticed the overall wear of couch is horrific. The middle cushion is sinking already. The armrests are pilling. Just an overall disappointment. After sending two emails, and follow up, I was sent new bottom cushions as a 'fix'.
Then a technician came to change the cushions on my couch. He was very nice however wasn't able to answer my questions regarding the couch as a whole. He took pictures, but I've already sent pictures of all my concerns and issues. Not only were the bottom cushions an issue, the middle cushion is sinking, and the back cushions, and armrests/seam have the same issue as what was just replaced. As mentioned this couch is maybe 6 months old, and hardly used. For the money spent my expectation is to have it perfect, not having to worry what will happen in 2-3 months. I just can't imagine that how its wearing is normal and what Jennifer Convertibles would consider quality. I asked for option. That cushion replacement was not acceptable. My contract has warranty option. I'd like to hear options to replace fabric like to hear options of what can be done in efforts to change couch fabric? This fabric seems to be the biggest issue, a Lemon!
End of last week got back couch covers. As mentioned this is not an answer. When purchasing certainly didn't expect to be at this point. Very disappointing and hope something can be agreed on. The 'ICING ON CAKE' I went to the store where I purchased couch. Jennifer Convertible Short Hills. When I explained what was going on, how upset I was. They basically remained on the floor model couches relaxing. The one employee managed to print my contract as I requested. My sales person who sold me couch said 'Well this hasn't happened before with this fabric'. Talk about customer service. Needless to say, my excited purchase has turned into a HUGE nightmare. Praying for a solution that meets my expectations.

After months of back and forth with Jennifer furniture, my replacement furniture finally arrived 2 months after it was promised. It is in my beach house so I won't be able to see if this new furniture is any better than the defective set until next year since our house is closed up for the season (It is a totally different set from a different manufacturer). At this point, I'm just going to cross my fingers that it's going to be comfortable and safe. Am I satisfied, sort of?
It would have been nice if there was more communication between the store and upper management. The manager of the store I dealt with had left during this exchange transaction and it led to a lot of stress on my part trying to get it sorted out. Once I spoke with upper management it was taken care of right away. Consumers need to do their homework because my original furniture was Ashley brand (which to me equates with throw away furniture and that's what I got) and had that been disclosed to me (wasn't even written on the receipt that it was Ashley brand). I would have passed on it and chosen another alternative brand. I'm going to chalk it up to an over-eager salesperson desperate to make a sale. I'm just happy that Jennifer stood behind their product and took it back and offered me a replacement.

I purchased a sofa bed love seat set from Jennifer Furniture in East Hanover, NJ. My sales person was Mark. I don't know the date I purchased it because Mark didn't bother to write that on my order. In any case when I first came in the store with my daughter I told Mark that I was only interested in a sofa bed with a memory foam mattress because I have a bad back and I cannot sleep on an inner spring mattress. He showed me a set, the "Milari" which I like the style of it. I then asked him again if a memory foam mattress comes with it to which he assured me it did. He told me that the sofa on display did not have the memory foam mattress on it but he could open another couch with one for me to try which I did. I found it to be comfortable and I said I'd think about the sofa purchase. I came back a few days later to purchase the set.
Again I asked Mark was he sure that the memory foam came with it, to which he again told me yes it did. He took me and my daughter back to the desk area to write up the sales slip. He sloppily wrote it up, left the date off and did not write memory foam on the ticket. When I questioned these omissions he assured me that when he entered it in the computer it would be fine. I paid for my items and left. When my furniture was going to be delivered (to my shore house in Ocean county which they only deliver to TWO days a month) my husband had to go to accept delivery. I told him to please have the driver open the sofa bed to make sure the memory foam was there. It was not.
I immediately called the store and was told by a woman Irene that memory foam doesn't even come with that sofa bed. To make matters worse the tags on the sofa said "Ashley furniture". Nowhere was it ever noted or even told to me that the furniture was from Ashely furniture. Had I known that I would have not even purchased the set in the first place as their quality is that of a 5 year old making a couch! Irene told me either to accept delivery and deal with the main office or refuse delivery and they'll deal with me about that. I had no choice but to take delivery since it was almost summer and we needed something to sit on. I figured I'd deal with the store regarding the memory foam mattress. The store manager Xavier was able to replace the spring mattress with the originally promised memory foam mattress.
I was happy and thought my troubles were over. Little did I know what would be coming. I had the set for less than 3 weeks when the fabric started to ripple on the sides of the couch and love seat. The seat cushions actually slid into the sides of the sofa bed making it an entrapment/strangulation hazard for a small child. I called again and was referred to the main office in NY. A woman, I think he name may have been Carol, not sure though, asked me to email her pictures of the defects. I did this immediately and was contacted later that day by Xavier telling me that Jennifer was going to take back the defective set and I could either take a refund (which I should have done and ran for the hills) or pick something else out. I agreed to pick another set and went over specifically what I wanted in the new set.
Xavier was wonderful in accommodating me, found a suitable replacement, arranged for me to go see it at another location and processed this order. I explained to him clearly that I needed the furniture to be delivered BEFORE labor day since I close up my summer home for the season and I do not return until next May. He said he'd call the manufacturer and get a commitment from them. He called me back and said the manufacturer would definitely have the furniture to them so they can deliver it and pick up the defective furniture before Labor day. I was thrilled, thought my problems were over. Xavier asked me if I had the original spring mattress that came with the defective furniture. I told him I did and he said to please take the memory foam mattress off and put the spring back on so they can take it back the way it came and that I can put the memory foam mattress on the new couch since the new one does not come with memory foam.
About 3 weeks later I decided to call Xavier to see if he had heard anything regrind my furniture since labor day was quickly approaching. When I called I got Irene again and she told me Xavier was no longer employed at Jennifer Furniture. I explained yet again that I needed this furniture BEFORE labor day. She looked at the computer and told me that my furniture wasn't even made yet! She gave me the contact name and number of the regional manager, a Mr. ** I think his name was. I called, left a message and sent an email, no answer, no return call. I waited another day and called Irene back. She said she'd reach out to him. He finally called me about a week before Labor day. He assured me that my furniture was done and they were waiting for it to come to them from North Carolina. Since they only deliver 2 days a month I was getting worried.
He told me not to worry that he'd keep on top of it. Needless to say Labor day came and went and nothing was ever delivered. I called the store and finally got to speak to the new manager Christina. She confirmed that my furniture was finally in. She also told me I had a balance due of $670 and change. I told her that she had to be wrong that Xavier told me I only owed $415.07. After much back and forth she finally figured out the difference was the memory foam mattress and that if I wanted to keep it I had to pay for it and if not I had to return it. I told her that I had already paid for it when I originally bought the defective furniture. She insisted no I did not. I explained to her that I was lied to and that I was told the memory foam mattress came on my set. The price I paid for the set included the mattress. Again, no, I was wrong and I needed to pay for it. I asked her for a breakdown of the price of the new set to which she said she didn't have.
I told her that I saw the same exact sofa bed on Wayfair for much less than they were charging me for it. I went on to tell her to just please come and pick up the defective furniture and please issue me a refund. At this point I don't need it since I won't be there until next May and that is plenty of time to shop for new furniture. She got very angry with me and told me that I needed to speak to the regional manager that this was no longer a store issue. Ok fine, apparently I had no other choice. I never heard from the regional so I called Christina yet again. She told me that he called and left me a message. I never got this, I've checked my cell phone's voice mail, nothing is there. I asked her please have him call again. Again, nothing. I just got off the phone with Christina about 20 min ago telling her that he never phoned and that I need to speak to him to resolve this once and for all.
She said she'd send him an email and have him call. Apparently they don't have phones for their store manager to call them on. At this point I am exhausted from dealing with this situation. I bought a set thinking I was getting Jennifer Furniture with a memory foam mattress. What I got was defective, cheaply made Ashley Furniture with a spring mattress and a giant headache. I should have never taken delivery of this furniture but I was in a no win situation. Everything takes 3+ weeks to come in and I'd be stuck sitting on the floor. I could not have ANY small children come to my beach house this summer for fear of strangulation in the cushion that slides into the sofa bed compartment. I have spent too much time dealing with this nightmare and now I'm being told I owe way more than I was originally told.
At this point I can buy the sofa bed for under $900 with free delivery from Wayfair which is what I'd like to do. I'm writing this review to warn other consumers of Jennifer's business practices at the East Hanover store. Had the store employee, Mark, been honest with me that my set was Ashley furniture and that it did NOT come with memory foam I would have asked to purchase a memory foam mattress or taken my business elsewhere if it was unavailable. At this point the only settlement I'd find acceptable would be for Jennifer to come and pick up the defective furniture, their much prized memory foam mattress and issue me a refund for my purchase price. I now have to be extremely inconvenienced to drive to the shore to meet the delivery person which, yet again, only come twice a month! Beware consumers.

I purchased two chairs from the East Hanover, NJ location for my living room in May 2015. I was told they would be in and delivered 4-6 weeks. When I called to check status I received the runaround and false promises from the Manager Xavier. I called a week later and they told me that Xavier quit. I finally had to contact the district manager in corporate Gerry **. Gerry took some money off for my inconvenience and I paid the balance in full over the phone. Finally the chairs were delivered the end of August. Upon delivering I noticed two white stain rings on the top of the chair. The delivery men told me I would have to call customer service. I called and they sent Guardsman out to try to remove the stain. They came out and were unsuccessful in removing the stains. Guardsman sent a report to Jennifer Convertibles and told me that someone would be in contact with me.
I waited one week after not hearing from anyone and called Gerry ** and left two messages. I never received a call back so I reached out to customer service and waited on the phone for over 20 minutes before speaking to someone. They told me new fabric was ordered and will be installed by a company once it comes in. I am furious to say the least. They ordered new fabric for a chair that is brand new! It was received damaged upon delivery. I feel like this is fraud and awful customer service. I will NEVER do business with this company again!

I submitted a review about a transaction I had with Jennifer Convertibles and back again to express my appreciation for the publication of my review and whoever called Albe (Jennifer convertibles sales personnel).
Albe called me after a couple of days after my review to request I bring the lamps for only exchange. He said the company is willing to only exchange the lamps for me. I was surprised. Even though earlier on he said the company's policy does not allow exchange or return of delivered items and it's terrible on my part to exchange or return.
Anyway, I am satisfied with this proposition so I sent the lamps to the grand concourse office. My lamps will arrive in 3 weeks time at least, that is what Albe told me.

We ordered a sofa bed in March of 2014. In less than a year one of the back pillow seams opened. We went into a Jennifer store in Manhattan and asked what could be done. We were told that if we had purchased the Guardsman Protection Plan they would fix the seam and if there were any stains that too would be covered. WRONG! Guardsman will not cover the stain(s) because we did not specify the type of stain and seams are not covered. Moral of the story, DO NOT waste your money on JENNIFER nor GUARDSMAN.

On March 16, 2015, I purchased a furniture set (sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman) from Jennifer Convertibles for $2,019.60. This amount included the cost of the furniture, a protection plan, tax and delivery. The furniture was special order so it took 6-8 weeks to deliver. The furniture was delivered on May 12, 2015 in good condition. On June 19, 2015, I noticed a tear in the corner of the loveseat coming from the base of the couch to where the seat cushion is attached. I proceeded to inspect my furniture and found similar tears beginning on all corners as well as seams opening between the cushions. I called the store where I purchased the furniture and they gave me headquarters number to call. I was wished good luck by my sales person. This was my first sign that what was to follow wasn't going to go well.
I called the headquarters number, gave my complaint and was told I would be contacted within 5 business days to scheduled someone to come look at my furniture and assess the problem. On June 29, 2015, the 6th business day, I sent a message through the Jennifer Convertibles website stating that I called 6 business days ago to report a problem and had not heard back from anyone. I was contacted by phone by USA-1 Unlimited Services but was unable to take the call. There was also an email sent from them. When I could, I returned the call and left a message.
On June 30, 2015, I called again and left a message and sent an email to USA-1 to set up an appointment. On July 1, 2015, USA-1 contacted me and we set up an appointment for July 7, 2015. On July 7, 2015, a representative from USA-1 came and took pictures of my furniture and said the pictures would be sent to Jennifer Convertibles for review by customer service. On July 13, 2015, I was sent a email from Jennifer Convertibles saying, "This letter is to follow up on the recent in-home service you have received. We understand from the factory authorized service technician who inspected your furniture that the problem you are experiencing with your merchandise is not the result of manufacturer defects. Our guarantees cover defects in materials and/or workmanship. However, rips, tears, and wear and tear are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty."
I immediately responded by email, "This is completely unacceptable! This furniture was in my house for 6 weeks when I first called in my complaint! The second thing I will say that this was special order so it was made specifically for me! This is not normal wear and tear and if you do not do something about it, I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. Furthermore, I will never buy from Jennifer Convertibles again and will not recommend your furniture to anyone!" I got a phone call from a customer service rep basically telling me that it wasn't a manufacturing problem. I caused the damage to my furniture in the 6 weeks that it was in my home. On that call, I requested the pictures that were taken and a report of how the decision was made. The woman took my e-mail, said she would send it and never did.
I also sent the following e-mail to Jennifer Convertibles: "To Whom It May Concern: My order # is **. Someone from Jennifer Furniture called me this morning and said that she was looking at the pictures and there was no way this was a manufacturer's defect and that basically by sitting on my furniture, that's what caused the issues. What am I supposed to do with living room furniture??? Stand there staring at it??? MY FURNITURE AT THE TIME OF MY FIRST call was 6 weeks old and was special order so it was just manufactured!! On that same call, I requested to have all documentation sent to me (pictures, report from technician, etc.) on how the decision was reached. The woman took my email and said she would send it but I have yet to receive anything.
Please forward to me the documentation on how your decision was made. I am not at all satisfied with my purchase or how my complaint has been handled thus far. Six-week old furniture should not be ripping at the seams if it was properly manufactured. There is clearly something not right here and Jennifer Furniture is not standing by the product that they sell. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and the Department of Consumer Affairs if this matter is not resolved to my satisfaction."
The response from Jennifer Convertibles was “we are willing to order to parts to fix your furniture but you have to pay for the upholsterer.” I called and left a message stating that this was unacceptable. I invited the customer service rep and quality control rep to come and inspect my furniture themselves. I am at a loss. I was sold poorly manufactured furniture and Jennifer Convertibles is not standing by the products they sell.
The above is the complaint that I filed with the Better Business Bureau. Jennifer Convertibles responded that they are standing by the fact that it's not manufacturer's defect because that's what the independent service company, that they hired, is stating. The independent service company also says that they are calling from Jennifer Convertibles when they contact you… So who's kidding who here? Nothing has been provided in writing from the service company, only the pictures that they took and those were only provided through the BBB complaint, even though I requested them both verbally and in an email. I took the same pictures. This is the most ridiculous situation that I have ever had to deal with. I was sold a poorly manufactured product and I feel I was ripped off. Jennifer Convertibles takes complete advantage of the consumer and they are not standing by the products that they sell.

My husband and I purchased a 3 pc living room set in black bonded leather, Anda 3 pc wall unit. We had also ordered a 3 pc table set. Everything was to be delivered before Thanksgiving 2014. We were informed after we called the store that the tables were backordered until sometime after the holiday season. So we canceled the tables and took delivery of the 3 pc living room set on 11/28/2014. The delivery guys broke the handle on my screen door, scratched the arm on my loveseat, and cracked one of the corners on one pc of the wall unit. That was just the beginning!!
After having this stuff for approximately 3 months, we noticed the the cushion, the chair felt like you were sitting on a piece of wood. One cushion on the couch and one on the loveseat were collapsing. The other cushions felt like the material was bunching under the fabric. ALL SIX CUSHIONS NEEDED REPLACING! Apparently that takes 5 months to get done! All we really wanted was to re select from the store. We were told that wasn't an option. The repairman is here today, August 3, 2015. I sat on the new chair cushion, I can feel the lumps, the cushions are sewn in 3pc sections. There isn't anything the repairman can do about MANUFACTURER'S DEFECTS.
Updated 10/30/2015 - So, my furniture is today a month shy of 1 year old. And, after having ALL 6 CUSHIONS replaced in August, it looks again like cheap garbage. My husband and I are not rough on our things. But this stuff looks like we abused it! One cushion on both the couch and loveseat are AGAIN collapsing! The 2nd cushion on the couch is also collapsing, but not as bad. The third cushion on the couch is so obviously not sat on. The furniture I had before this, I had for 6 years, my son has it now, you can't see any difference in the cushions! They all look great. Obviously, NOT purchased at Jennifer Convertibles! The chair cushion is just not comfortable. If you sit in the center of the seat, you tip sideways! We were informed by the guy that replaced the cushions in August that the company feels they fixed all problems "within manufacturer's specs". Translation: "you're stuck with this crap!" NEVER BUY FROM THESE CROOKS!

Save yourself the agony of purchasing defective items at an overpriced rate. I purchased a king-sized mattress in June of 2014 which cost me well over 1000 dollars. From the very first night that I laid on this mattress, I noticed that I was sleeping on a decline. The top middle of the bed had a large dent. It felt really awkward and I woke up with severe back pains. I immediately called their claim center to address this problem. This company knowingly sold me a defective item that causes me unnecessary pain and suffering!!!
Since 2014, I've filed THREE claims and all of them got decline. The company claimed that the indent was not severe enough to be fixed. Essentially, they acknowledged the fact that they delivered me a defective item but refuse to do anything about it because they felt it wasn't broken enough to need fixing. Well they are not the ones sleeping on this spine-damaging bed so how can they properly assess what is deemed broken enough?
On the first inspection, 07/07/14, the report claimed that the indent was only 1 inches deep and they only repair mattress that are more than 2 inches deep. They advised me to wait a few months and call back when the indent gets worst. At the second inspection, 10/31/14, they claimed that the indent was now 1 inches deep. Great. So in a few months they would have to honor their warranty when it reaches 2 inches deep, right? Wrong! After the third inspection, 11/07/14, they stated the indent was now less than 1 inch deep and now they only cover for indents over 2 inches deep.
So after sleeping uncomfortably on this mattress for months, it had somehow defied gravity and unindented itself AND they decided to increase the inches of regression that qualifies for the repair by another half an inch! I asked for a copy of the inspection but that also was denied. They claimed that it was against their policy to send the reports to their customers. Fine. Then I asked them to fax over a copy of the terms and conditions for the warranty of that mattress on 11/07, 11/13 and 11/21. I've asked them to fax it over three times and every time they state that they will fax it over by the end of the day...and still nothing!
It is now June of 2015 and I haven't heard or received anything back from them since mid-November. I will not put this to rest until they have found a resolution for my concern. If they cannot, I have no other recourse but to file a civil lawsuit. It is unlawful to knowingly sell someone a defective item claiming that it is in new condition regardless of what their warranty states.

Purchased group and, since they don't provide any stain and repair coverage, purchases an extended warranty which promised they would send techs for repairs or stain removal.
Pictures submitted show the set after about 2-3 weeks after delivery.
The set came in with cushions that looked bad, lumpy, and not at all acceptable. In addition, one piece developed 2 mysterious stains within weeks. The workmanship was terrible with widths not matching, gaps, and other visual issues.
All we wanted was the stains cleaned and the lumpiness in all the cushions fixed.
Setting up a service appointment required almost a month each time and we weren't allowed to set up an appointment until the stuffing (ordered by their techs) came in.
Each order took 2-3 weeks to deliver.
First time one box came in. Obviously not enough, we had to order more. Tech agreed and said the stuffing was incorrect anyway. He ordered more and (we thought) corrected stuffing. Another box came in and we made another tech appointment.
Another box came in of the same stuffing.
Throughout all of this (which started 6 months ago) trying to deal with "Customer Service" has been frustration level 100. They didn't believe us when we repeated what the techs said. Denied that the stuffing is incorrect.
We were being led in circles, not knowing what was true and what wasn't. When we told them that what they sold us was not the quality we expected from Jennifer and that if these issues were not fixed, we would want to return the set and get our money back. They told us that was not going to happen.
Finally, to add insult to injury, 2 days prior to the last service appointment we set up, we got the expected phone call to give us our "window" of when the tech would arrive. The call was to cancel the appointment. Their tech "would not be in the area" on that day.
In summing up: inferior merchandise, a non-committal extended warranty, topped off with customer service that has no right to call themselves that, and 6 months of nothing being done about the issues, those so far has been our experience with Jennifer.
Instead of just replacing the cushions and satisfying a simple customer request, they are willing to spend man-hours with tech visits that likely far exceed those costs.Instead of good will, they are willing to extend lack of service that is eating up the extended warranty they sold us.
One of the worst customer service experiences we have ever encountered. We have another service appointment set up for next week. Cant wait to see what happens next.
Note: Set was completely paid for.

May 4th came and went and the managers said that since our order was so big the delivery guys needed to get a bigger truck since they were doing other deliveries in Florida as well. I said "fine, when is the next truck coming?" and the managers replied "we don't know".
I had to call them back several times throughout this month of May and it came to the point where as soon as they heard my voice they immediately hung up. My family and I had to buy blow up beds to sleep on and our house is still empty because we ordered most of our furniture from them. WORST MISTAKE EVER. I called again. Finally one manager answered and said our furniture is coming on May 25th. We called a few days before to confirm and again they said that the drivers were not ready yet. We asked when is the next shipment gonna be and they said June 5th but they are not sure. This is ridiculous.
I asked for my money back because I already paid this whole order in FULL and they claimed they cannot do that because IT WOULD BE A LOSS OF MONEY TO THEM. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! My back has been hurting every night from that blow up bed and it's just embarrassing that my family has lived here for a month with an unfurnished house. After more yelling the manager said "we can give you back 30% of what you paid because technically it's not our fault the truck could not hold your order". This is unbelievable. I then proceeded to call headquarters but of course there's no answer. I have left several voice messages and still have not gotten any reply. This entire company is so unprofessional.

Ordered furniture in Dec. of 2014 in the Coram showroom with a deal I thought was great. Was told by the salesman that I would receive within 3-5 wks. 5 wks go by and I'm told, "There has been a delay of 3-4 wks, now the ETA is Feb. 25." I walked into the showroom on Feb. 24 only to be told "Sorry, the recliner and chair you ordered is discontinued!" Plus, the coffee and end tables I wanted were never ordered at all! Unbelievable. So, I started contacting VPs of Sales and managers and ultimately canceled my first order. Received an email on March 3rd saying, "Please accept our apology, go to our Farmingdale showroom and pick out another recliner," which I did. Also chose another bedroom set. This time the eta was around April 3rd.
April 3rd rolls around, and again: "Sorry, we're having manufacturer and warehouse problems. Hopefully by May 3." May 3rd came and went and was told: "2 pieces are missing from your set, maybe by May 9th!" By this time, with customer satisfaction and trust completely gone, I canceled and asked from my deposit to be refunded. There seemed to be a lot of disorganization, misinformation, no follow-up and possibly the WORST customer service I've ever received in a retail store. Please spare yourselves the frustration of shopping at Jennifer Furniture.

At 9:34 am on 4.17.15, the contracted delivery service arrived to deliver the furniture that was scheduled for re-delivery today. The 1st attempt (4.10.15) resulted in a refusal since the pieces didn't fit in our elevators and no one even mentioned to us to take that into consideration (the sofa sectional is 120" x 89"). So I was told I needed to pay an additional fee of $250 for redelivery and disassembly per piece! I was told the chaise would fit but the sofa needed to be taken apart. The 2nd delivery attempt failed as well because they took apart the wrong piece and then again requested I pay yet another fee for redelivery and assembly for the other part... It has now been 11 weeks since we placed the order and paid in full when it was promised to us in 6-8 weeks time.
This entire experience has been a nightmare and at 37 weeks pregnant this is the absolute last thing I need. I am in no position to plan anything or schedule anything further considering the fact that I may give birth any day now and almost did so this morning in my building lobby. That's obviously something that wouldn't be ideal for anyone involved here. I cannot afford to take another, yes a 3rd, day off from work for this, especially since it is not a mistake on my part and I have been nothing but cooperative and understanding throughout this entire ordeal.
Some points to consider: 1. We were in and out of the showroom in less than an hour. 2. We paid in full on the date of purchase with no demands, perks or freebies (2.4.15) 3. We patiently waited 10 weeks for a delivery that was promised in 6-8 weeks. 4. After the 1st unsuccessful attempt we further agreed to pay an additional service fee for the disassembly of the SOFA as clearly stated in the notes of PO. 5. Took yet another day off from work to accommodate the redelivery only to be disappointed yet again by a failed attempt and clear error made by someone other than us. 6. Not only were we let down a 2nd time, but I was spoken to very rudely by the delivery coordinator, and was TOLD that the delivery guys are being released because I was wasting their time! After the District Manager was contacted and involved, all he offered was yet another redelivery attempt. I will be asking for a full refund...

We had purchased a sectional from Jennifer Convertibles and it took 6 weeks for it to be delivered which is fine. The delivery man came today to deliver the couch. At that point the man walked in, looked at the stairway and said it's not going to fit. He didn't want to try because it was a difficult process. I then stated for him to try no matter what. They brought in the 1 part of this sectional and attempted to bring it upstairs in which there was an attempt that was lack thereof. The delivery man then stated I don't know what I am talking about. The comment "You do it" and I "don't know how to listen" came from his mouth. He then started laughing in our faces and started speaking Spanish together and laughing again. I stated "I want you to try again." He shook his head and said I don't know what I'm talking about, it is not going to fit in, he is not going to do it cuz it's not his problem!
Then my mother-in-law ask him to move a light in so it didn't get broken. He couldn't get it done at first. She said "My son just did it." He said then "Call your son." Again stated we don't know what we were talking about because this is a man's job. This is not ok and I'm not leaving this alone. Nobody should be spoken to in that manner. I called customer service and the woman on the phone give me a hard time. When I stated we no longer want a sofa, she said I signed a disclosure and now the sofa is ours and they are not taking it back. The couch is 86 inches, the space is 88 inches. I can understand if it wasn't going to fit up the steps but they put forth no effort. They took 2 minutes and determined that it's not going to fit it. Did not try anything. Plus they belittled me.

He said on the phone "sorry I don't get paid for free, she needs to pay me $80 or the couch is going back to the warehouse" in spanish, when I clearly understand and speak spanish.

I ordered a couch set from Jennifer convertibles in Farmingdale NY at an excellent price by their supervisor **. Unfortunately when the couches were delivered, they were not handled carefully. The top left corner on the loveseat had a giant hole in it from someone sliding it across the truck floor. I called back the store while the delivery crew was here but the store said I had to go through customer service. I then had to file a claim and it took almost 5 days to hear back from someone. The material for the couch shipped within 2 weeks, which is extremely too long.
Today I then spoke with a customer service rep to schedule a day/time for a technician to come and fix the loveseat, but the only available days were WEEK DAYS from 9am-1pm. I don't know about you, but most people work during the week and there is no way I would take a day off to stay home (losing pay) and wait for a technician. Now I have to wait until 5/2/15 to have my loveseat fixed because that's the only Saturday available. I find it very unprofessional of this company to not work with their customers in the best way possible and get this all resolved in a more prompt time frame.

We were assured that they will have our sofa bed there.
We both live in Riverhead, but since we really wanted to see the sofas, before making a purchase, we drove to Farmingdale showroom, where we were greeted by John **, showroom manager. He quickly explained that none of the showrooms has sofa beds on LI, because they don't sell like in California!!!! Seeing our disappointment, he quickly added that he be happy to order them for us.... We said no, because need to see them... as we do not want to be disappointed later on... John proceeded to tell me that he just happen to have one in the store couple of days earlier and he will show us the type of the fabric that comes with that couch.... Both my sister and I really liked the fabric that he showed us.. But still, not being so sure, I asked "what if we don't like it?" he answered that we will be able to return them and pay only 10% penalty fee. The normal fee is 30%!!!
Then he turned to me, knowing that there is another sofa that I liked.. wanting to make me an offer... I said to him.. "Not at this time, because I don't feel comfortable buying something I have not seen... He then told me: "WHAT IF I WAIVE THE 10%, AND IF YOU BUY IT TODAY YOU CAN RETURN it WITHOUT PENALTY?" I said "NO!" Let's do this first and see if we going to be satisfied!!! We paid next day. Sofas were suppose to get to us 2-3 weeks. We finally received them on the 7th of December!!! They were not damaged therefore I signed the delivery papers... After delivery man left I sat on the sofa and noticed that sofa is extremely uncomfortable, and the fabric is not even close to what was shown to us in the showroom! This was a thin, and cheap looking.
Following day, both my sister and I headed for Farmingdale to speak with John. After explaining the problem, we ask how we can return the sofas... He said: "So if you did not like them, you should not sign for them!!!" Then he was trying to present another deal... to exchange the sofas we did not like... All we had to do is pay additional $400.00 each, plus more on different sofa. Another $159 for delivery! And he assured us he will only take a $100 for each sofa for penalty fee. (each sofa costed us $462!!!!!) We said no! And we ask him to advise us on how can we return the merchandise. He said that we need to call this number... 516-504-3048 speak to somebody and told them that we already spoke with John.
Thursday Dec. 11, I called, and was informed that if the item is not damaged there is nothing I can do as THE STORE HAS NO RETURN POLICY!!! ALL SALES ARE FINAL!!! Hmm... I looked on my receipt for that warning, but cannot find it... After looking through their return policy... people who buy the sofas online have 5 days for return!!! If I only knew... I could have order the sofas from the comfort of my home and have possibility of return..
Yes I know I should not have buy something that I have not seen in person.. But I was assured time and time again that I will be able to return the product, if unhappy. Otherwise I would NEVER make that purchase!!! John ** have told me many lies!!!! First lied about description of the sofa, then lied again telling me returning won't be a problem!!!

We have called the New York corporate office and have gotten no response about this issue.

I googled this issue just to see if anyone else had this problem and how they went about resolving it. Maybe small claims court would be an option. At this point, I feel jilted enough to spend more money if need be just to get a full refund (or full replacement although I really have no faith in their products).

I understand business as I'm a business major, however if you want a business to prosper you give the best customer service you can. Many businesses become successful due to word of mouth, for every customer that doesn't come back they may in turn tell two friends not to buy and so on.

I purchased a fabric loveseat, two throw pillows, a swivel chair and ottoman in November 2013. Approximately 6 months later I began to notice lint balls on the pillows, swivel chair and ottoman. I contacted customer care who in turn sent out a technician who looked like a sophomore in High School. Not that it matters, but I was expecting someone older and experienced. The technician used an electric lint remover to remove the lint from the pillows, swivel chair and ottoman. I was very unhappy with the outcome. The technician told me to contact Customer Care for his report in 7-10 days. I tried contacting Customer Care for the report numerous times but no one has answered. To date, the lint on the furniture has returned and I'm still trying to reach customer care. I will never purchase furniture from Jennifer's again.

Leather on sofa bed had a tiny piece missing and I thought how odd, I don't remember leaving any sharp objects on sofa. After that, the leather on the sofa continued to come off and shed if you will. This sofa barely had anyone sitting on it and not subject to any abuse - never seen anything like it. Trying to find receipt if I still have it, frankly do not expect satisfaction. It is as if the sofa bed's leather was made to last a short amount of time.

We bought a 4 piece sectional and recliner in Oct 2013. By Apr 2014, one cushion from the sectional started ripping at the front seam. It's obvious that the material was cut short and the stitching has nothing to hold on to (the other 6 cushions are fine). Also the screws on the latch holding one of the pieces of the sectional together is stripped so now two of the sections will not connect. The recliner handle doesn't work either. You have to get out of the chair to raise or lower the foot rest.
We have a 1 yr warranty that is supposed to cover everything so we contacted Jennifer Convertibles and they sent out a technician to inspect the furniture. We just received a letter in the mail that our claim was denied because the damage was a result of wear and tear and not the manufacturing. We are so frustrated. We now have a shabby looking couch and a recliner that doesn't work. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY DO NOT PRODUCE QUALITY FURNITURE OR STAND BY THEIR WORKMANSHIP!

I made a purchase of over $2300.00 with Jennifer Convertibles. I purchased the Guardman protection as well. Upon purchase, I was not informed that there is a 1-year warranty on the furniture. My chair and loveseat sits comfortably. When you sit on my couch, you sink in. This makes no sense for a set that is over a year old, yet under 2 years old. I call customer service and no one will assist me as they say I'm no longer under the 1 year warranty. Really? This is how Jennifer Convertibles treat their customer. This is my second set with them, I went with leather furniture as my last set was very good and I was satisfied. I got rid of my old set because I was ready for a change after many years. I find it sad that they can take your money and not even remedy the issue. They are responsible for the furniture they sell and make, and if they can't be a respectable business, then they shouldn't be in business. I personally feel robbed!!!

They do not understand me and I do not understand them...They came on Sunday 6/8/2014 at 6:50 pm and the furniture was assembled incorrectly and without regard for my purchase...As they left, I refused to sign the form stating I was happy with the service and left the room. They came back into the house (I did not even know they were there again) and asked my wife to sign it with me out of the room...She did, not knowing I refused to sign it originally...They were very rough with the boxes as they left the 2nd floor. I observed them damage the walls going down the stairs and they kicked over 2 of my outside lights on the pathway (I do have pictures)...I ran down the stairs to let them know I saw them do this as they carried the box to the delivery truck. I observed them scratch the car when the box they were carrying was slid across the back door...
When I said something to them, they chuckled/laughed and spoke Spanish to each other and got into the truck and left...I called Jennifer Furniture as they pulled away but it was after 7:30 on Sunday and they were closed...I had requested 4 separate times for Jennifer furniture not to send the same company due to the issues I experience and the quality of their work they do. At first they told me they would not send them again...Once again the same movers came. I called customer service and was told they have no control over who delivers their furniture...I feel that Jennifer Furniture should not be in business if they treat their customers like this. I did read the on-line complaint forum and agree with them all...I have had numerous pieces of furniture damaged and unsatisfactory handled since our purchase. I just hope they honor their warranties... Thank You.

Purchased three pieces of furniture at store on Glen Cove Rd. Sofa arrived torn but couldn't see the damage because delivery people pushed it against wall. Furniture is cheaply made with staples and fabric sits unevenly all over. They failed to deliver third piece of furniture with the rest and no one picked up the telephone at store despite trying to call for hours. Called the store no less than twenty times and could not get an answer. Went to store and was told they would have to order again and they never had the cocktail table to deliver but they would find a new cocktail table and replace the damaged furniture.
Called again after two weeks and so many times over next four weeks. No response. This was the First time I ever asked to reverse the charges on my credit card with a purchase and when Jennifer found out I was refusing payment, suddenly I got a call that they had furniture available for immediate delivery.

They supposedly ordered them through the manufacturer as they had none in the store to give. I waited 2 weeks for them and never rec'd. I called back and the salesman told me to just come down and take them for a day or 2 but the manager, Karim had an attitude about it but I did it any way.
After I confirmed the color, they ordered the couch. They told me the turn around time was about 4-5 weeks. 6 weeks later I called to check on it and they said it was delayed but should be in soon. 2 weeks later the couch shows up, WRONG! Part of the couch was a different color.. BRIGHT red when I ordered Taupe. I called the store & spoke to Karim (mgr) again who told me to refuse the couch and he'd get back to me on what they could do. After 2 days I stopped in the store to see that they were closing, going out of business. No surprise as their CS sucks. Still no "response" from anyone who apparently can make any decisions.
Salesman told me to call back tomorrow if I didn't hear from the mgr of the store, when I did he was so flat. Did nothing to apologize for the inconveniences or try to assure me that anything would be taken care of. I cancelled the order on the spot. I would NEVER recommend this company. Their furniture is mediocre but can work on a budget... but for the $1600 I spent to pay for that sofa.. that's what I got.. Mediocre. There are plenty of other furniture companies out there that are far better in my mind on follow up, quality and customer service. I hope the rest of company closes. They are useless.

I don't remember the exact date of the very first email but I remember clearly the answer they wrote back to say that they can give me something like 30% off my next purchase. Really? I ignored that. Couple months after that I said this cannot be real, this is America, there must be something that can be done to get this company to honor what they sell. Then the emails started again. Might I had, I bought my sofa in Green Acres, Valley Stream, New York and the salesman Told me it was leather and the warranty was compulsory.
This was my first furniture purchase so I bought it, hook, line and all. It's been quite a few months now that It has been back and forth with emails with this company. I did everything they asked me. Now they want me to buy another sofa and pay $485. The same sofa went on sale the other day, the price dropped significantly, so I can't see why they can't just replace it or give me back my money. Why should I have to spend anything, I cannot afford to pay to replace it. I am hardly working and they should put some kind of disclosure, e.g., "Sofa only last a year or two", then the public would be aware of the risk they are taking when they hand over hard-earn money. Money which takes a long time to save and working long hard strenuous hours to get it.
I feel like I have been held up and robbed. The peeling has not stopped. Its so embarrassing we can't enjoy the living room.

As it turned out it was $85.00 cheaper than the originals. As it turned out they would not refund that amount but are holding it in case we want to make another purchase (fat chance of that ever happening).

I contacted a very rude lady in customer service. To make a long horror story short I have had 3 technicians out and I keep getting the same form letter stating that it meets factory specifications and therefore nothing will be done. Keep in mind that none of these technicians even sit on the furniture. They just take a couple of pictures and they are gone within 5 minutes.

Long story short, I had blood stain on the sofa, I called Jennifer Convertibles, they sent a technician out, he was not able to remove the stain, and they ran out of fabric, so he was upset telling me the blood is old.

I have been a customer of Jennifer's for some time but I can relate to the previous writer's frustrations though I did not purchase a warranty for my furniture, but I did purchase a leather sectional or what I thought was a leather sectional. When I entered the showroom the sales person seemed to be very knowledgeable and confident when he spoke about particular sets I had questions about on the showroom floor. I seen a leather sectional that I liked on the showroom floor I asked him various of questions being I have never had a leather set before. He assured me it was 100% leather, and was it durable.
I had two kids at home which was not an issue for me because my kids never destroyed any of my furniture. He stated it will last me at least 8 years or more. I was not that familiar with leather furniture so for me it sound good. I was sold and ready to purchase. I want to say a year down the line I started to notice some fading in the couch. There was no direct sunlight hitting it, but I thought maybe that's what happens. Soon after the cushion started to sink in and a small hole formed. I called Jennifer's to see how much it will cost for a repairman to come out to fix the hole. The rep stated it will run me about $400 which I thought was ridiculous, so I called someone I knew that repaired leather. To my surprise the set was not 100% leather at all (Bonded Leather) is what I was sold. I was so mad you could have fried an egg on my head.
I did complain though I knew nothing will come out of it but I still wanted to voice my opinion. I did purchase a new set from another company but we as customers must start doing our homework on businesses and/or the products these companies are selling us. A lot of furniture stores sell beautiful furniture. It seem durable, sold by reputable businesses, but we to research who are manufacturing the furniture, and find out what their ratings are. We must continue writing our experiences whether it is bad or good experiences so other readers can see what were experiencing with these companies. I have made many good judgement calls reading these reviews and also doing a little homework of my own as well. So thank you and hopefully this can help someone else.

When we reported this to Jennifer Convertibles they sent a "factory authorized service technician" to examine it. He determined that the bowing was the result of "wear and tear" and not "the result of manufacturer defects."

I purchased a $ 3,000 leather sofabed couch set from Jennifer almost 6 years ago. even though that is quite some time the set stayed in a room and was rarely used. I only began to use it for about 10 months when I moved into a house and it became a part of living room furniture. I relocated and put it in storage for another 5 months. However, I noticed that within those initial 10 months of actually use the love seat began to crack and peel really badly. The couch seems to be in great shape except some crack and peel in between the seam of a couple of seat cushion. Since my seat is almost white in color, I of course DO NOT WANT any cracking of peeling of ANY kind.
I have been busy with settling in so it wasn't until right before or around the Thanksgiving holiday, in mid October of 2013, I noticed some nicks/rips on the back side of the sofa near the arm rest. The position of the nicks/rips let me know that this may have been accidental and happen in the move. I did purchased the life time warranty and in the past (the first 6 months to a year) had Jennifer out when I HAD A STAIN ON the fabric. I also had a salesman in the store call the police on me as he fabricated some story about me mentioning a "bomb" while I was arguing with him over his "seemingly ignorance" and being blatantly rude. The police let me go without questioning as they realize the salesman was irate and completely over reacting.
I wrote to the president of the company who offered me $500.00 to cancel my lifetime warranty. I declined and said I should call the news station. This time around the same dishonoring of the warranty as accidental nicks/or tears are covered is NOT being honored. I took the pictures, called them out and they didn't even get back to me with their findings. I emailed them saying I would pursue further action because Jennifer Convertibles have a preset/preconceived notion that they are going to DENY EVERY CLAIM, NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY, AND SEND TECHNICIANS OUT THAT WILL REFUTE EVERYTHING BEFOREHAND!!

I think it's horrible and very dishonorable the way they are treating consumers and it's time to do something about it. Yes, I bought my set 6 years ago but if you look at it you can tell its been rarely use and in great condition besides the nicks and rips. I can only imagine if it was used like other people have mentioned I would no doubt be having the same problem. I've decided to just look into a class action lawsuit and be done with it.

At first, I was extremely satisfied, but after about three years--exactly when the warranty expired--the "leather blend" material started to crack and peel for no reason. No one had ever instructed me on how to care for the material. The peeling worsened, until my living room was littered with pieces of the material.

In spite of the limited use, the "leather" started peeling off, beginning between the seat cushion and continuing all over. The store near me has since closed so I began to look online to see what the problem might be. Turns out it was not real leather - only bonded and this experience is a common one with sofas from Jennifer Convertibles. The sofa is structurally very sound but the upholstery is a MESS. The salesperson did not mention warranties or that the leather was bonded so all this is very unexpected to me.

So considering the fact that I called 7 months after purchasing the product to report a fault, they have taken every possible opportunity to delay the need to repair the sofa until the warranty had expired. The company and their inability to honor basic contractual agreements is a very poor representation of the furniture industry that has many more reliable and honest companies than Jennifer Convertibles. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere when buying furniture in the future as this company has no interest in the value of aftercare once they have sold you their product.

I purchased furniture on July 22, 2013 for a Queen Sleeper and love seat. When it arrived, the driver of the truck told me I had 48 hours to check the items. At first sight the furniture looked wonderful. Once the drivers left, I looked it over there were many little holes and a black spot on the arm rest. The delivery people put a long scratch on my newly wood floors. I was given a number to call for the floor and furniture. Since then I have received 3 new sets of furniture all having the same problem plus stitching errors.
I have not heard from anyone about my wood floors. I tried to cancel the order to get my money back as it is now 5 months later, I was told since I signed for the first set that I accepted it as is. The manager at the store has been very helpful and apologetic about the situation. I was also told that the drivers said that there was no pleasing me on each set of furniture that I received. I don't know of anyone that would spent over $2000.00 and would accepted anything less than perfect without holes and a damage floor. I am very disappointed and frustrated with this, I feel I have been very patience but 5 months back and forth is a little too much. I am paying my monthly GE Capital credit card that I opened thru Jennifer Convertible but my family cannot even enjoy our new family room. I have picture if you need them Thank you.

I went with my family to Jennifer Convertibles (Stamford, CT) on Sunday the 10th of November to purchase a sectional couch. The first sales person, who came to us, gave us incorrect information to begin with. I came back later on the same day with my mother and a different sales person saw us. This sales person seemed to know what he was doing. What me and my husband had chosen with the previous sales person, not only the price was incorrect, the position of the sectional we wanted was "not" offered at the color or style we wanted! That was our first disappointment. We finally chose something else, paid for it and scheduled a delivery date for 11/16/13.
As we were discussing the sectional the sales person "NEVER" asked the measurements to our home. Even though our home is a standard home (8 feet ceilings and doorways of 31.5 inches wide) we assumed the sales person knew his product or would expect him to inform us if the furniture did not fit we would need to pay $199 per piece to be taken apart! None of this was discussed with us. Monday November 11th I got a call from our sales person saying that what we had paid for wasn't available and we had to choose something else, again the frustration began all over with this sale. So I chose something else, couple of hours later I got a call again from the sales person saying that what we had chosen for the second time would take 6-10 weeks to get to us!
When we went into Jennifer Convertible I was clear that we were having family staying with us for 11 days and we were having 20-25 guests for Thanksgiving!! Waiting 6-10 weeks was not an option. So they offered me something similar to what we had purchased for more money! At this point I was so frustrated and disappointed and left with no other choice to accept. The delivery crew came and this deliver crew didn't seem like they wanted to be there working that was the attitude they had. Meanwhile we had given our old couch away to make room for this new one.
The sectional came in thru the kitchens door. It got as far as the hall way which again the ceiling is 8 feet tall. The smallest piece didn't fit and the crew called their "boss" and put me on the phone with them on a recorded call for "quality assurance". I was given two choices. I recall, one to have this taken back to a warehouse and taken apart and brought back to my house and assembled in my living room at a later date for a cost of $199.00 one piece and $120.00 the other for a total $319.00 plus tax! At this point I'm screaming on the phone because I was never told that we had to pay extra for this service. I agreed because I no longer had a couch, had family arriving from Florida and Thanksgiving around the corner. So I called the local store and asked to speak with the manager hoping she would take care of this in order to keep me as a customer and having me refer Jennifer Convertibles to others! She didn't care about my frustration, my disappointment, she didn't do anything to waive this fee and keep me as a happy customer!
I asked to speak with someone above her. She treated me like I was dumb by responding to my frustration by answering me like, "un-huh, I understand etc." My frustration grew bigger and bigger the more I spoke with this woman. My stomach started hurting and I believe this has caused an ulcer because every time I speak with someone at Jennifer's or I tell someone about this the pain comes back. I got a call from someone above the manager at the Stamford store on Monday the 18th of November after I had left her a voicemail Saturday the 16th of November, called their customer service hotline. She was my last hope of getting fixed and she again didn't do anything except tell me that I had two choices one to pay or choose something different. So I asked about returning she said I would have to 30% plus delivery charge for something I didn't have! I told her my frustration, the lack of information from the sales person and that I would NEVER purchase anything from them again, or that I would NEVER refer their product to anyone. She said she was sorry to hear that and that she wasn't going to waive this charge. I had no choice to agree in order to get a couch in my house. I have never felt so violated and ripped off.

I wish I read all of these reviews before getting sucked in. I am experiencing terrible customer service with a very nice person - but this person will not call me back at all. so background - I placed part of an order in September that we wrote up in August and have still not received the merchandise. I have been chasing for 2 weeks now and when I call, I never speak to the same person twice and never speak to the person with whom I originally placed the order. At one point, no one knew of my order and then all of a sudden they knew about it and were telling me that there was this horrendous delivery fee that I was not advised about at the time my order was placed.
No one will nail down a delivery day with me and weeks keep passing by without me receiving my merchandise, which now I am super concerned about b/c everyone says it is defective. Each time I have called, they promised me someone was going to call me right back and NO ONE has called me back. POOR customer service, dishonest salespeople - the works. So I still do not have the merchandise, and I still am going to be charged if I cancel the order? How does that work out? Should I speak to a lawyer?

After reading the other reviews, I just want to say that I have had the same experience. In 2006, I bought a couch, chair, and ottoman from Jennifer Convertibles in Annapolis. The furniture did not last even two years, meaning one of the cushions sank (probaby an internal support), and all of the leather on the seat cushions became very wrinkly (not little wrinkles, but big wrinkles). I've had horrible customer support. I know that furniture should last 10 - 15 years, or longer, and this furniture was not abused. We just sit on it to read! Yet, when I requested a technician come to the house, he refused to fix scratches, told the staff I abused my furniture, and then I was sent coupons to buy more furniture... not! Don't buy from JC.

*CONSUMER BEWARE*: First let me state my first mistake... I am normally the type of person that before she buys has looked up everything there is to look up about the business that I will be dealing with... not so in this case! I went on a friend's suggestion and the fact that she has a couch from Jennifer Convertibles for some time and has not had any major issues. Second mistake was going to the showroom despite seeing that the only cars parked in the lot were those of the 3 employees inside and still going in. Third was dealing with Bill (Coram, NY) who clearly after my ordeal was not forthcoming in how Jennifer operates. So now let me get to my story...
Day before delivery - I was supposed to have my couches delivered on Sunday, the 29th of September. I was to receive a phone call in regards to the window of time they would be arriving in and that did not happen. So I called the showroom. They stated that someone had called and I missed the call. I assured them that I received no such call. They stated that the delivery will be between the hours of 12 pm - 5 pm.
Delivery Day - I will make this short and simple... The delivery did not happen between those hours... I did not even get a phone call until around 6 pm from the delivery men stating that they were on their way. They were very rude after I informed them that they were late and that I was just about to call the showroom. They stated, "Well, do you want the couches or not?" I SHOULD HAVE SAID NO, NO, NO, NO, NO BUT I DID NOT... I stated, "Of course I wanted the couches. I waited this long, right?!" My husband at this point was the one in the home so I called him to tell him that the delivery men were on their way. They said 10 minutes and I do not know what watch they were looking at but it obviously had stopped b/c 10 minutes it was not.
Anyhow, when I arrived at home, I noticed that there was a box in my hallway (Apartment hallway) but did not pay any mind to it... I just thought to myself what messy neighbors I have. Next thing I know, the super is ringing my door bell. I open and he asks if I left those boxes in the hallway and in the staircase. I stated to him, "No, absolutely not." When hubby gets home, I told him about what the super had stated and he informed me that the delivery guys were not given a tip (hello, they were late, rude and sloppy) and so they were upset by this and just threw the boxes in the hallway and then apparently the staircase.
I was appalled to say the least. I just could not believe that they would do something like that b/c of a TIP THEY CLEARLY DID NOT DESERVE!!! I then inspected the couch and saw that they had put the legs on wrong. And that on the underside or the belly of the couch if you will, there was a hole in the webbing. We attempted to return the legs to where they should have been in the first place and noticed they were not screwing in at all! Great... I will be returning this couch!
*THE FUN PART, CALLING "CUSTOMER CARE* - I called the showroom to complain about the delivery guys and they informed me I must call customer care and provided me with the 800-371-6111 number. I called and informed the rep, who stated she was a supervisor, that I was very, very, very unhappy with the delivery men and informed her as to what happened. Then I stated to her that the workmanship of the couch was terrible and that certain legs did not screw in at all and that there is an opening on the belly or the webbing of the couch besides the fact that the couch was soft in some places and hard as a rock on others as well as the stitching was coming undone already. I wanted to return the couch and wanted my refund. She stated that they can't do that. I said, "Why?" She stated that they do not take back couches sight unseen and just because I do not like it.
I politely informed her that she was obviously not listening to me. I reiterated the reason that I wanted to return and receive a full refund was because of the workmanship of the couch. She tried to twist my words around. Then she tried to tell me that a refund was not possible. I said why, she said because they have been delivered. I was becoming annoyed by this point. She then stated she would send over an inspector. And that they would inspect and then repair. I said, "I DO NOT WANT A REPAIR DONE. I WANT A REFUND!!!!!" She basically was saying that they need to send someone over to see what I am saying... so basically they wanted to see if I was a liar or not and then they would see if and what kind of refund I would get!
I did not understand and she said all companies are like that. I said no, it's just this company b/c they would be BANKRUPT if they just (like other companies) took back the furniture when people called. So they do this show and dance to try to discourage or wear out the consumer in hopes that they just keep the merchandise. Let's see what happens in my case. Because I WILL NOT BACK DOWN! *RUN, PEOPLE, RUN AND DO NOT LOOK BACK!!!!*

I purchased a sofa that arrived at my home defective. The fabric was worn out, the cushions did not have enough filling and the sewing was poorly done making the edges of the cushions and slip cover all wrinkled. I contacted the store where I bought it in Stamford and the lady who answered the phone told me that there was nothing that could be done about it. I then took pictures of the sofa, went to the store and showed it to one of the ladies working that day. She then gave me the 1800 number to call and an e-mail address.
I called the 1800 number and was given a different e-mail to send the pictures. I sent the e-mail but it was returned to me days after because their e-mail did not have the capacity to accept so many pictures. I then re-sent the e-mail but this time was one at a time containing one picture. After a long wait and insistence from my part, they finally sent an inspector to inspect the sofa. As per the inspector, the sofa was all defective and that he was sent to fix it but there was no way to fix it. After almost two weeks of not hearing from Jennifer Convertibles, I called them to discuss returning the sofa and getting my money back. They said that they were ordering new cushions and I was informed that as per their return policy, I contacted them over 7 days after the sofa delivery.
Therefore, I was not allowed to return the sofa and have my money back. As per my records, I contacted them within 3 days after delivery by going to the store, calling them by phone 5 days after delivery and sending them the pictures for the first time within 7 days after delivery. While waiting for someone to get back to me about this, I forwarded to them all the e-mails I sent with the pictures including the first one that was sent back to me due to their small size e-mail capacity. I am very dissatisfied with their poor quality product and inferior costumer service. I have had a sofa from them for the past 12 years and I was hoping that they had maintained high quality standards. However, this is not the case at all…The sofa pictures are included.

As I started to write my complaint about Jennifer Convertibles, I said to myself, "Is this even really worth it," and then I thought I can't believe that their products are even "leather". My boyfriend and I originally purchased the "leather" sofa bed and when it was delivered, it was broken. I mean it was literally broken. There were parts of the seats that sunk all the way in. After writing to them, they allowed us to exchange it for the regular sectional and that turned out to be an even worse nightmare. They are poorly manufactured and the leather is cracking and I have a mess all over my living floor from the pieces of "leather" that fall off. I am truly disgusted by Jennifer Convertibles.

I was also a victim of this scam. I purchased the leather sofa and chair in 2009 for $1100.00 from a store in Maryland. However despite being told the warranty would cover anything and everything I did not purchase the warranty because I felt it was too good to be true. I should have not purchased the set at all. The leather began to peel off for no reason whatsoever. This was a total waste of money. Not to mention this was a huge embarrassment when company would come over and see the furniture that looked like it was picked it up from the garbage. Well to the garbage it went. I still have the chair but no one sits in it. We should all get out our money back for the furniture and for anyone who bought the warranty as well. For sure we need a class action suit that benefits the consumer.

In 2007, I paid about $2,500 for a leather sofa from Jennifer's store in Beverly Hills (8751 Beverly Blvd). By 2009, and after minimal use, the leather was cracking and peeling off. However, I was not concerned because I also bought the leather warranty package for almost $200 and was told that it covered everything (even rips and holes my dog or cat might make). When I called to find out how to get my couch serviced/repaired/replaced under the warranty, before I could even tell the customer service person what was wrong, I was told that the warranty doesn't cover cracking or peeling leather.
How did the customer service person know what was wrong with my sofa before I told her??? It is because EVERYONE at Jennifer Convertibles knows the leather they are selling is defective. Yes, when I got off the phone with customer service, I read my warranty and it does clearly stated that it does not cover cracking or peeling, but who reads the warranty one buys from a fancy store in Beverly Hills after the salesperson tells you "everything" you need to know about the warranty when you buy it? It's a scam, and I was taken but that doesn't make it right or ok or legal, does it??? BUYERS BEWARE!!!! Don't be Jennifer's next victim.

The showrooms look great, and the prices seem reasonable...BUT, I WOULDN'T BUY ANYTHING ELSE FROM JENNIFER CONVERTIBLES...EVER! The sales process was a lot of false promises regarding delivery dates. My order arrived separately over a two-week period. Finally, I got the entire living room (sofa, 2 chairs and an ottoman). Within 1 week, the armrest on the sofa collapsed. It's basically a thin cardboard-type material under their faux leather. Then, within a year, the entire sofa started peeling.
Guests would stand up with black flecks of faux leather stuck to their clothing. Soon, even the areas of the sofa without human contact, peeled off in sheets. I too, was duped into buying the protection plan (the salesperson promised the world) that does not cover the peeling issue. My sofa ended up on the sidewalk, and my neighbors thought that I was a cat hoarder by its appearance. The ottoman too is long gone. I still have the two swivel chairs, which I avoid sitting in (photo attached) for they are about two sittings away from disintegrating.
