    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.

    The worse experience EVER. Not only did they tell me I would get my couches in 3 weeks, I got them 2 months later. Also when the driver came to my house he had the nerves to tell me in the most unprofessional way that he will not bring my couch in unless I pay him at the door first. MIND YOU they NEVER told me there was a walk up fee to bring up my couch. The driver named ** told the dispatcher the situation and she told him he has to attempt in bringing the couch up because is a customer service issue and they will call the store and have the store pay him (so she told me as well).

    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. So the dispatcher told me "I'm sorry I can't force the driver", so I told her that was fine. I will file a complaint and get my money back. The driver didn't even apologize or even explained to me anything and just walked away. I will NEVER SHOP AT JENNIFER CONVERTIBLES AGAIN. This is what they call CUSTOMER SERVICE. THANK YOU.

    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 bought a living room set last February, very unhappy with this set. The sofas are not well constructed at all. They both sink in the middle, one of the cushions is torn, fabric is cheap. I will never recommend or buy another piece of furniture from them. We bought this from the Orange Store, it was the floor model because they had a going out of business sale, but they are still there. False advertisement.

    Purchased a couch from Jennifer Convertibles on 2/28/15, the cats was supposed to be delivered within a week, date was pushed back to two 3/22/15 upon delivery, even though I was told the door only had to be 34 and half inches, my door is 36 inches. The delivery man stated after one attempt that they cannot put the couch inside, my landlord didn't want them to take lock doors but she did state that they could loosen the spring to the door. They lied and said that they offered the landlord waiver, is which they only mention waivers but never presented the papers. They took my couch back, now they want me to pay over $300 to have the couch delivered again and to be disassembled. When I went to try to get my money back, Jennifer Convertibles wants to take $300 of my money.

    Jennifer Convertibles took my money and closed down. This company owes me hundreds of dollars of which I have not been returned. They have a worry free guarantee but I'm worried, will I ever get the money they closed down with. $640 cash plus interest since 2008, do the math.

    I bought a couch from Jennifer Convertibles in November, I waited two months for the couch and it was delivered with a tear in the cushion. They told me my option was to refuse the couch and wait another 2 months and have no couch, or have someone reupholster it. I called the showroom and the regional manager 4 times in total, just to have a refund on delivery charges!! That service was not completed correctly!! No one ever called me back, I contacted the BBB, and they do not think they are in the wrong at all!!!

    Waited 3 month for sofa bed from Jennifer furniture, it was in my home 2 months, no one slept on it. Went to open it to use and found the wood frame broken, nails and screws coming out. Contacted them, it took several weeks for them to reply.

    Well to make a long story short, it is now 11 months later and there has been many more problems, the fabric all worn, cushions flat, and now they tell me the entire mechanism needs to be replaced! It is like buying a used car and having to replace every part. Do not, repeat, not buy anything from this company. I have filed a small claims suit against them. Will let you know how it turns out.

    UPDATED ON 03/06/2015: I was getting nowhere with customer service at Jennifer Convertibles, so after call after call and no satisfaction. I filed a claim in small claims court and won a judgement against them for the full amount I paid for a queen size sofa bed. Now I can only hope they will do what they should have done a year ago. But I have to collect. I hope that more people will take them to court.

    We purchased a leather sofa, love seat and chair set. Within 3 months the sofa started to sag in the middle. We called many number of times and finally after a few weeks, they finally called back and told us to take pictures. We did. It took about 6 weeks for a guy to finally come out. He looked at it, said the frame had split and it could not be repaired, and he would report it to the company. Another 3 weeks have passed and we received in the mail an extra leg.

    Four days after the couch was delivered, it broke. The "replacement" couch was set to be delivered and the delivery man does not know how to use an apartment building buzzer to contact me, so that became a failed attempt. Poor customer service, and will not take back the damaged goods for full refund. Now I am told it will be 2+ weeks until they will have a couch to be delivered in stock. The 'sales team' at the Short Hills, NJ location has a bad attitude and a lack of personality. Over 96 hours for a follow call, when one was promised in less than 24 hours. Purchase furniture anywhere else but here. Spend a little more money and buy somewhere else.

    I purchased a sectional bonded leather sofa 2 years ago. Shortly after a year I noticed small tears, tears that's not consistent with normal wear and tear. Upon careful examination I realized the leather was peeling not tearing. I contacted Jennifer, they said I was out of warranty. I had purchased their recommended warranty with Guardian so I contacted them. They did not take the claim because it's a manufacturer defect and they only cover accidental damage. I contacted Jennifer again and got the same response, they can't help me. 2 years later, the small tear turned into a huge spot on one of the pillows. I spent $1200 on a sofa expecting to get a quality product, I was assured that bonded leather was just as good as leather. I'm demanding a full refund.

    My sister and I have been wanting to get sofa beds for each of our houses. On veterans Day, my sister noticed that Jennifer Convertibles has a sale on couple of the sofa beds that we both liked so we visited Southampton and Coram showrooms in hope of seeing them there, but they do not have them and we were advised to visit the Farmingdale showroom for it is considered to be the biggest... 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!!! John ** is the problem. I feel that not only the ugly sofas should be taken back (with 10% penalty!!!) but I want John ** to become more responsible with his words... Maybe he should be taught a little lesson and pay back a $159 of delivery fee, out of his own pocket... After all, his lies cost me more...

    I purchased this bed frame (Queen Size Platform Bed Frame - brown faux leather) in July of 2013. From its design and appearance it seemed as if it was a sturdy platform bed. I told the sales associate that the original frame purchased from Bob's Furniture was made poorly and I was concerned about its design. I was assured that it was a platform frame throughout the bottom. I also bought Guardian Insurance for my purchases and was assured all was covered if something broke. After 1 year and 2 months my pillow top mattress was sagging at the split whereby dual box springs were. I took my mattress and box springs off and found out that the 3 "wood frames" were less than an inch thick and they were all split at the middle thereby not durable enough to support such a mattress and box spring set. Do not purchase this item. I now have to pay someone to remove this piece of crap from my bedroom. I will never shop at either Jennifer's or Bob's ever again.

We purchased the lifetime warranty and when we emailed the head quarters we were told they had no record of our purchase. Surprise, not really, because the company lied already to us REAL LEATHER DOES NOT PEEL! Story short, we were told they do not cover peeling even if we could find purchase so we were stuck. I gave the set to my daughter for her condo and when they actually used it, it fell apart totally.. Glad they left our area because we do not need this kind of crap in our area..

    I brought a $1,000 sofa from a Jennifer convertible, from the Holmdel store, in Sept 2014. I was told it would be in in four to six weeks. It was very late. And when I went into the store, the man said it was in and I can pick it up on Friday between 8 am and 1 pm only. So my friend took the day off to go get it. I got to the store and a different man was there. He called the warehouse to put in my request. Well, the sofa was not in! They said I’d have to wait another week and get someone to pick it up then, which I couldn't because my friend could not take off another day. It was all downhill from there. The salesmen in the store was always a different man. Nobody knew what they were doing. They kept saying "I don't know why he would tell you that.

    In 2009 my partner and I bought a 3 piece leather Blend (brown) living room set. It included a sofa, love seat and chair. We purchased the Ottoman extra. We bought this from the store in Fremont California. We also purchased the lifetime warranty. Our couch was ok the first several years. I thought it was overpriced but hey it looked nice. Within the past 18 months we've noticed it's actually peeling. No rips or tears just peeling. It's only on the couch not the other pieces.

    At first we blamed everything from the dog to moisture. However after reading the reviews and finding on the page, I know it's just crap furniture from a crap company. The couch looks like it's new with the exception of peeling leather. I called the store we bought it from but got nowhere. The living room set cost 1400.00. I'm not sure what to do! Is the hassle worth going through arguing back and forth or do I just chalk it up as a bad purchase from a unreliable dealer? Ikea furniture is better than this!

    Unfortunately, I am also joining the "bum product" club for Jennifer Convertibles. My husband and I purchased a 3 piece leather couch set that included the couch, love seat chair and ottoman. We also purchased a lifetime warranty. Fast forward several years later and our very, very used couch is peeling like crazy! It is mainly peeling along the front cushion area but is now starting to work itself along the back cushions. What a mess! The Jennifer Convertibles that we originally purchased from is out of business and we were told that there is no more Jennifer Convertibles in our entire state!

    We have called the New York corporate office and have gotten no response about this issue. So for a lifetime warranty, we got about 6 years....really much less than that due to the fact that my husband and I travel quite extensively so our couch never had frequent use. This is just amazing, especially in light of reading so many people's story that reminds me of my own. 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). This entire situation is the totality of ridiculousness.

    My mother purchased Jericho Fabric Chair on 9/28/2014 off the floor. I went to pick it up for her as she is 70 years old. There was only one sales person on the floor and when I asked him to assist me with something to cover the chair as I lived in the neighborhood and just wanted to make sure it didn't get damage in transport, he stated he had nothing to cover it with. I was also taken back when I asked the salesperson why no one was answering the phone and he said he was waiting on customers, but the store was empty and didn't look like anybody had been in the store. I brought my own dolly to carry the chair but I wanted some assistance with securing the chair to the dolly. A young lady [teenager] walking by the store came in and assisted me with the chair.

    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 like to think that this store has been there for a number of years and maybe it was a bad day but I will never buy from that store or recommend anybody including my mother who by the way was making an impulse buy which could have been more if she had felt like the clerks or sales persons care about her as a customer.

    They said it would take 2-6 weeks the piece would be delivered to my house and when it arrives to call them and they will send a man out to replace the seat. Called in May, they said another 6-8 weeks. Called June 16, it would take up to another 16 weeks. July 14 Raymond said E.T.A (estimated time arrival) and he would get back to me in 24-48 hours which he never did. July 16 sent an email, July 16 called office closed, July 22 sent another email. July 23 got a call from Margal, she said the piece is going to delivered in Sept. that it's coming from China. Called today Sept 24 the office is closed. What's with this company.

    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!!!

    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. I would never ever ever deal with them again. I am returning everything I received and so glad to be finished with a company that couldn't care less about its customers.

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.

The sofa I have purchased is so disgusting to look at and embarrassing I still cannot believe it. The sofa structure is not bad, it is peeling continuously. 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. Can you imagine the family spent Thanksgiving with me, it was heart wrenching. I want to take legal action. How should I go about it? This is not right, why are the powers that be not helping anyone?

    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.

    In brief, we bought a dining room table approximately one year ago and after a few months it started to bow. 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 wrote a letter to Jennifer Convertibles explaining that we have used the table maybe 5 times for dinner parties and the heaviest object on it was maybe 10 plates of food. I would not consider this type of use "wear and tear." Unfortunately, they have not responded to my concern. This is poor customer service and a lack of concern for their clientele.

    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 had to have the embarrassing nicks through the holidays because I knew this company would do to me what they are OBVIOUSLY doing to everybody else.

    I'VE READ ALL THE RECENT COMPLAINTS AND Jennifer CONVERTIBLES HAVE MORE OR JUST AS MUCH AS THEY DID WHEN I BOUGHT MY SET SIX YEARS AGO!!! 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. It is obvious needed and definitely warranted.

    I bought a sofa/loveseat/chair combination from Jennifer Convertibles about five years ago. The total price on the combo was about $2000 including delivery. I had read many complaints about the service/professionalism of Jennifer Convertibles employees, but I had a pleasant experience. The set was delivered exactly when they promised.

    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. The only way I could use this couch was to throw a blanket over it. I guess you get what you pay for. Skip this company and spend a bit more or buy from Ikea.

    Several years ago, I purchased a leather sofa from Jennifer Convertibles. It has been used in a room where it has had very little use. 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. I would be happy if the company would pay for the sofa to be recovered in a suitable fabric so that I can use it. If anyone knows of some recourse on this, please let me know.

    I purchased a leather sofa from Jennifer Convertibles in 2010. This year, July 2013, I noticed a peeling on the seat of one of my cushions. I put the 5-year warranty on this sofa, so I read the warranty and seen that cracking/peeling wasn't covered under the warranty, but called Guardsman anyway being that it was only 2 years old. They had me send pictures of the sofa as well as descriptions of where the peeling was and when it happened. I got a response back indicating that the problem was not covered under the warranty, so I wrote to Jennifer, also sent them pictures of my sofa. By that time, the sofa started peeling on the head of each side of the sofa. Jennifer said that they apologize for the mishap even though it wasn't covered, they will ship out the materials to have it repaired. I was told this in September that the materials should be at my place in 4-6 weeks. It's now the end of December, no Materials and every time I call Guardsman, they tell me that it's a back order on the material. In the meantime, my sofa is steadily peeling ALL over. I contact the VP of customer service 12/20/13 with no response. I would like for them to replace my sofa.

    We bought a fabric sectional for $999.00 in Oct of 2012 along with a Protection Plan from Jennifer Convertibles in Paramus, New Jersey. The sales person by the name of Shawn told us we should purchase a protection plan that if anything rips or breaks on the sectional that it would be covered by Guardsman and if Guardsman could not fix the problem that Jennifer Convertibles would replace the sectional. One year two months later, the zipper on the cushion breaks. We contacted Guardsman and they told us that they can't do anything about it because our protection plan only covers fabric cleaning. We called Jennifer Convertibles in Paramus and asked to speak to Shawn, they said he was off. We asked for the number to the home office and was told that they don't have a home office which is bull.

    I worked in retail for a long time and they have a home or corporate office. The employee finally gave us the number! I Called Jennifer Convertible and they told us they couldn't do anything about it because our one year warranty is up. This is very upsetting because now, I have a cushion that can't be fixed!

    This company is arguably the worst furniture company I have come across. I purchased a sofa from them in 7/16/12 and it began to lose shape 6 to 7 months after it was purchased, therefore still within the 12-month warranty dates. Despite them originally sending a repair service out at the middle of April (8 weeks after I called AND the 1st of 4 visits needed), it has still not been repaired despite the fact that it is now almost over 8 months since I first called to complain that the sofa was faulty.

    I am now told by the company that the product is no longer covered by the 12-month warranty policy and they are no longer prepared to fix the problem. 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 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.

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.

    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.

    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?

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.

Two years later, when I filed a claim to have my sofa repaired, they denied it.

Well, I'm here to tell you that Jennifer Convertibles DOES NOT furnish a contract BEFORE PURCHASE. They mail it out weeks later after you pay for it when you pay for the sofa!!

    I made a purchase on the word of the salesman who acted annoyed when I didn't believe him everything was covered. "Blood, urine, scratches, anything" he had said. What I wanted fixed were scratches from my dogs and from a recent move. The claim was denied, saying moves don't count, nor do pet scratches. Apparently, you must always live in one place forever. When I called Michael and told him he'd lied to me, he was combative so I asked what kind of scratches WOULD be covered. "Well, human ones" he said. "What human scratches a couch?" "Um, well, if you're wearing, you know, studded jeans. Like jeans with studs glued onto the pockets. That would count." Good to know I can bedazzle my pants, but can't own a pet.

Very disappointed with this product and now the store is gone, along with my paid for warranty. But today I saw a review opportunity to express my thoughts and hopefully, something will be done to rectify this problem, as I still have the offensive looking sofa in my living room. Now what?

    I purchased a leather sleeper sofa from JC. After a few years, and good leather care on my part, it began peeling/flaking off. My couch is now in complete ruins! I would have to have the entire thing recovered as not one part is normal. And my "full coverage life time leather protection" didn't cover that....Interesting. And now that I've seen all these other people with the exact same issue.... they really should be shut down, fined and made to repay consumers for their obvious knowledge of this defect and yet they continued to sell this leather!

    In 2008 I purchased a three piece leather couch set from Jennifer Convertibles. I paid over 1600.00 for the couch set which included a warranty package which cost 200.00. On 2010 it started to crack. I live alone and do not have young children. I was very gentle with my couches. About 3 months later where it was cracking it started to peel. I tried to call the store I purchased it in Tamarac, Florida. They were closed, out of business. Go figure. I found that they were open in Illinois and California. I called the store in California and they told my to call the warranty company. I did so and they said that the warranty did not cover it. I was very annoyed. I contacted the Better Business Bureau and made a listing of the defective product they sell. That was in 2011.

    Jennifer Leather has one of the lowest quality leather in the market. This is the second time we purchased a couch through them and the second time with issues. Just as the previous complaint, within a few years, our couch started to peel and crack. How ironic that the warranty upholstery shield excludes fading, cracking and peeling. I guess they know all about the problems already and exclude them for that reason. Why else? Two times is definitely not a charm, and will not be purchasing another couch from them or recommending them to anyone. They should have an insert saying "Buyer beware of leather (if that) peeling and cracking!"

    Several years ago, I purchased a leather sleeper sofa, chair and ottoman at regular price from JC, along with the extra protection package. Within two years, the ottoman began to show major wear and I took it in to the local store (where I purchased it) to find out if that is normal. It was explained to me that it is was common for the ottoman to show such wear, and they recommended leather dye to help disguise the extent of it, as my extra protection did not cover this "wear". Picture attached.

    Within another couple of years (of what I would consider light wear), the sofa began to exhibit the same patterns of wear, which is really the top coating cracking and breaking off - all over the floor and your clothes! Again, I called and was told that this was normal wear and not covered under the protection plan. Today I bumped into a whole cadre of similar complaints online, outlining the same types of problems, and wonder why no action has been taken by CA against this Jennifer Convertibles for their fraudulent claims regarding their "leather" products.

    The delivery charge is over $200. Your other option is to pick it up from their "warehouse". You can't pick it up from the showroom though. The warehouse is over 80 miles away. This means that whatever you buy, will have about $300 tapped onto it. It loses its bargain when Ikea delivers items for $70 or less flat rate when you can buy other items there as well. Now, this isn't the bad part.

    They never delivered the furniture. They came before the scheduled window" (which by the way is conveniently about a month after you purchase it). They didn't speak with the doormen in the building. There are no records of them being there. I was upstairs the entire time. How am I supposed to know they came? They claim to have called me but it went straight to voice mail. I do have a buzzer and several doormen as I live in a luxury building. I call them back 2 hours later and they say that it's too late, there is a delivery schedule. Even though the truck is in the city they cannot stop at my place on the last stop. So, I figure, okay, fine. I'll let them "redeliver".

    Sales person tells me there is a re-delivery fee for $217. So basically, I have to pay another $217 to get a couch that will fall apart (according to the people posting here). That means I'd have paid over $1000 for a bargain couch. Why on Earth would I do that? They hung up on me when I tried to plead with them. I spoke to Shakira and Charles from the midtown east location (3rd avenue). They gave me the # of Michael ** who works at corporate headquarters apparently. His voice mail is FULL and he does not pick up his phone. I called them back to tell them this; they said that this was too bad. No effort was made on their part to resolve this, and it almost seems like they have a system up to milk us for more money. They are dirty thieves and should be closed down.

    I have already opened a case with AMEX telling them that I never received the product. They are working on reversing the charges. I advise anyone else who never received their product to do the same. If you have received it, I don't know what I would do in your shoes...but I guess you can never buy from them again.

The letter states that there is not a problem with the cushions of the sofa and it does not require repair and /or replacement. I did not agree with this letter and asked for another review.

    Jennifer Convertible sent 2 technicians that agree with the first one stating the cushions were bad and saggy, only at this time the company offered me to repair the item. I did not want the item any longer and I tried to get my money back using the Jennifer WorryFree Guarantee contract that states: "With your cooperation, all covered repairs will be made up to manufacturer's standards within 60 days of your initial complaint, or you will have the option of continuing service, receiving an exchange, or returning furniture for a fund refund."

    On July 3, 2012, I purchased a Jennifer Leather Liza-oz futon & split back deluxe (vendor-innovations). Six months later, I noticed that the leather seams were peeling/cracking all around the couch. I contacted Jennifer Leather who directed me to Saw Enterprise who would come out and look at the furniture - which they did on May 11, 2013. I rec'd a letter dated May 29, 2013, from Jennifer Leather stating that the components of my couch would be replaced 4-6 weeks for domestically produced goods, 10-12 weeks for imports... Note the furniture was made in China.

    As per my conversation with a Jennifer Leather service rep, she stated that my couch is bonded leather. "What is bonded leather?" - Upon my investigation, I've learned that "bonded leather" is a term used for partially synthetic leather "generally polyurethane or vinyl". It is mechanically processed to give the appearance of leather. The leather research laboratory has said that calling this product "bonded leather" is deceptive because it does not represent its true nature. It's a vinyl, or a polyurethane laminate or a composite, but it's not leather. Therefore at this time, I do not want the components of this couch to be replaced with the same bonded leather that may peel again within several months. And what happens when my warranty expires on July 3, 2013 and this "bonded leather" peels again?

    I feel that Jennifer Leather misrepresented its product which I thought was real leather and I was not informed otherwise at purchase or indicated on my bill of sale. I would like a full refund and this "bonded leather" removed from my home.

They refused to cover anything and said there was no way that could happen under "normal" use. Well, this sofa infancy did not have normal use. It has far less than normal use. Maybe if it was used more, it would have lasted!

    We still have the sofa and are about ready to throw it out since it has become so bad that it really isn't usable anymore. The back cushions have flaked and fallen apart so bad that they are tearing and all the stuffing is coming out. We had to cover the bottom cushions with a blanket to keep the stuffing in, and the 2 cushions left that are not torn yet are flaking as well and will tear apart any day on their own. No one sits on the couch anymore and it's interesting to see something new every week.

    I purchased a 3-piece Italian leather suite, along with two end tables. I also purchased the leather protection package. It took three deliveries to bring me furniture that were not defective, and one of the end tables was still damaged. Delivery number four with an exchange for undamaged merchandise never took place. They just stopped returning my calls. I was told the leather furniture I purchased would be excellent for a family with two children for the ease of cleaning. I thought how terrific that would be. We also have a family room downstairs, which is where they are most of the time. Two years into my purchase, the leather couch started to peel. I attempted to get the furniture replaced to no avail and now they are no longer in Ohio.

    Five years later, the couch is ready to go out the door. It is totally peeled on several of the back and sitting cushions. There are rips in several areas, which just keep getting bigger and bigger. Couch covers and throws do not work because the leather is slippery and they look just as hideous and need constant readjusting. Both the loveseat and chair are starting to peel. All the furniture has little cracks and bubbles over it, which means it will become a peeling point. I spent over $2,000. When I finally contacted Jennifer Convertibles' customer service, which took several months to get any response to several queries, I was told that because JC was no longer in Ohio, they could not send someone out to inspect and fix it.

    I explained that it was junk and I was railroaded by the salesperson into believing that it was real leather. I told the JC representative that I spoke with many other furniture dealers about my so-called leather purchase, which I am sure is simply bonded leather. I spoke about my warranty, which was fraudulent as well. I indicated that I had read all of the reviews from other customers regarding their purchases of this junk leather and that we were scammed. I also told them about my so-called quality wood end tables that will not come clean and scratch all up. I indicated that I wanted either a refund of my money or new furniture, that the sales tactics and the quality of my purchase were a rues. They could have their low end quality junk back and see for themselves (as if they didn't already know).

    I was told that that would not be happening. The best that they could do was refund my $199 purchase of the warranty, even though it did not cover peeling or blistering (only cleaning). I did get my warranty refunded and it came within the month (last year). I am ready to throw this junk out and live without the sofa, which is the worst piece to date. I am sure once the other two pieces get more use, they will start splitting and peeling more as well. I just cannot believe that there have not been or is not a class action lawsuit pending with all the terrible reviews about this cheap, junk furniture they have been able to pawn off at ridiculously high prices.

    We recently moved to the US and bought a house in Santa Clara, CA. We have heard good things about Jennifer Convertibles Sofa Beds from one of our friends, so we definitely thought of visiting the store when we decided to furnish our house. In fact, we went to the Jennifer Convertibles in Dublin, CA and bought the entire furniture for our house in one go. The list of items we bought included: 1) leather sectional with ottoman (Haney); 2) queen Bed (with headboard, foot board); 3) dresser with mirror; 4) 2 nightstands; 5) 2 tables; 6) dining table with 4 chairs; 5) 2 table lamps and; 6) a power recliner sofa (Smith Power). We had ordered all the items on display except for the sectional, which was displayed in another color.

    We bought all these items on Black Friday after waiting for 4 hours at the store, but were very happy. Since the Haney sectional was back-ordered until January 2013, we got the balance items delivered last Saturday (within one month of our order). To our surprise, the power recliner delivered was a 2-seater rather than a Sofa (3-seater) which we had supposedly ordered. I told the delivery guys and they said that I should call up the Dublin store. I called up immediately and Michael from the Dublin, CA store where we bought everything convinced me that those were what we had ordered, as if that was the only item Jennifer sold in that style and I couldn't have ordered a 3-seater. He was adamant that L/S (love seat) was mentioned on the order they took. I told him that I, as a customer, don't understand the code language (such as L/S) Jennifer salesmen put on the handwritten order. He disagreed, so I hung up disappointed.

    The next day, I visited the Jennifer Convertibles store in Cupertino, CA, closer to my new house, and found out that there was a 3-seater sofa in the same style that Jennifer sells, so it was not that I was confused, it was actually a wrong item delivered. The truth is that we had ordered what was on the display in their store that day and it was a 3-seater sofa, not a love seat (please confirm from Michael and Donna - they both agree that the display item was a sofa). In fact, we are new to the country and do not even understand what a love seat (abbreviated as L/S on our order) was until we called up the store. Clearly, Donna, who took our order that day, wrote it incorrectly. We have tried to explain multiple times that we had measured the space for a sofa, and we had ordered the item we saw in the store. We also told them that Donna was pulled by multiple customers during that time, so we understand that she possibly made an error, and to please help us get the recliner sofa and we will pay the price difference.

    What we heard from the store was that we should have refused delivery. We reached out to the store in front of the delivery guys (you can confirm that), but Michael tried to convince me that I was confused and that it was the only item that I could have ordered. This is not what we expected from a good store. They forcefully delivered the wrong item and are not willing to accept an error made on their part. Both Michael and Donna acknowledged that the only item in the store that day was a sofa but they keep on insisting that we had ordered a love seat, even though we did not even know what a love seat was. They are also throwing the "Why did it take you two days to call back" card, and I told them that I had to visit other Jennifer Convertibles location to confirm that the item we saw was actually a 3-seater sofa.

    We have been told to basically just accept it, and that they have talked to their managers and nothing could be done about it. In fact, he was so rude that he screamed and shouted at top his voice on the phone. He doesn't even listen to my complete sentence and starts shouting. On the day of the delivery when I called him up, he gave me no instructions on how I could refuse the item or anything; he simply hung up after reading back my order to me. This is a really bad experience for a first-time customer who bought everything from you. I have read multiple horror stories about Jennifer Convertibles customer experience online, and I am not sure that I would even see a reply to this mail. We simply want to get the right piece of furniture and we are willing to pay the price difference, if any.

    I bought a leather and was told sectional on sale. I should have known it was too good to be true. After 2 years, the couch is peeling and cracking very bad. I called customer service, and they told me it's no longer under warranty and there is nothing they can do. Well a leather couch should not crack/peel after such a short time. If there is anything anyone can do, I would appreciate it since I can't go get another one right now.

    My mother and father in law are victims of Hurricane Sandy and are staying with my wife and me since they cannot return to their home for several months. They purchased a sleeper sofa at Jennifer Convertibles and the salesperson promised that the unit came with a Simmons mattress. At the point of sale, they told the salesperson that they only wanted a Simmons and he insured them that it did come with one. There was no way for them to verify because the unit they had on the floor did not have a mattress.

    The day after the delivery, they opened the sleeper (never been used) up and discovered it was not a Simmons. It was some off the wall brand. They then called the Freehold store where the sleeper was purchased and the salesperson said he never told them it came with a Simmons mattress. Then they called customer service and customer service gave them the name of the district manager. They called her and she argued that they cannot return the sleeper because it is company policy. She kept referring them to the sales contract they signed. Actually there was a verbal agreement which is a contract. My in-laws told them that the salesperson misrepresented the product at the time of sale and wanted their money back. She said no because there must have been some confusion. There was no confusion. My in-laws were very specific about wanting only a Simmons mattress.

    My in-laws are in their 80's, victims of Hurricane Sandy and cannot go back to their home for months. What a shame that a large company like Jennifer Convertibles would do something like this to nice people in their golden years and going through so much pain. Not only did my in-laws not get what they were told they were going to get, Jennifer Convertibles has no compassion. I would think twice about dealing with this company. If you ever had a problem with something you purchased, it may never be resolved.

    On 9/22/12, we ordered one Jennifer Convertibles leather sofa and a matching loveseat that include motorized recliners in each piece. They were delivered on 10/18/12. Upon delivery, it was discovered the motorized recliners in the sofa did not work. The driver was to email the company to inform them. I called the store where we purchased the merchandise and was told they don't handle issues and was given 800-371-6111 to call and file a claim. It took them one week to set up the claim. Then a replacement motor was ordered. It arrived on 11/20/12 and I notified the claims department of the replacement motor arriving. A technician arrived on 12/8/12 to install the replacement. The sofa still does not work. The technician now says it may be the switch. He would contact the company. It may take 6 weeks to get the switch and then we are to call, inform them of the new part arriving and wait again for installation.

    I just called the company claims department (12/10/12). They have not heard from the technician, so know nothing of the update. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was refused. I asked for a way to speak with someone at the company to resolve the issue. They refused. I contacted American Express on 12/8/12 since we made the $1,845.58 purchase using our American Express card. They will only get involved if the merchandise is returned. I informed the Jennifer Convertibles claims department that I either want the part sent overnight and the technician scheduled no later than this weekend (12/15/12) to install a new part or order a replacement sofa and loveseat and exchange them, or we will return all merchandise for a full refund plus damages.

    The person I spoke with did not care. Again, I asked to speak with someone of authority. I was forwarded to a voicemail (no name given on the message) and asked to leave my name and number for someone to call me back in 3 days. This is unacceptable. We want action. What can we do? Please help.

    I purchased my sofa and love seat in February from Jennifer Convertibles. By June, the sofa started squeaking badly. I called up the horrible customer service line and they said a technician will contact me. On July 23, a technician shows up and says, "Oh it's squeaking because you need new cushions," so he placed an order. This is interesting because cushions are made of foam and foam doesn't squeak. So whatever. He came back when I received the cushions on 8/20 and said I don't have the string to repair it. Excuse me? This is the second day I took off from work and you can't help fix it? So I called customer service again and they said they will send the technician back. I told them I don't want this person in my home again wasting my day. I contacted the repair company (Jennifer Convertibles outsources for all repairs. Cute, right?) and told them what is going on. They sent out another technician on 8/22. The poor guy took the whole couch apart, found out the back was broken and said the springs are broken too. He tried to repair it. There was sawdust, staples, and wood chips all over my home until he finally gave up and said, "They should just send you a new couch."

    So I called Jennifer Convertibles back and they say we need to see the technician's report. Well, the report came in and I was told the manager needs to check it before they can replace it. Fine, send the manager. I waited for a month for the appointment. The clown showed up and said it needed spring clips. So I let him do what he has to do then he sat on the couch so I can't check if it's squeaking or not. I was trying to sit in the area where it was squeaking but he kept talking and my dogs were barking because they are just as angry as I am at this waste of time, hassle, and runaround. So I woke up the next morning, it's quiet. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat on the couch and guess what, squeakkk! I'm like oh, dear God, no.

    I'm 125 lbs. My dogs weigh 10 lbs total. There is no way our weight is an issue! So I called the repair company at 7am, left a message, but no call back. I called Jennifer Convertibles customer 'I can careless' line and got the old 'I'm sorry we need to wait for the report.' That's when I lost my mind. I had Meryl's number and called her directly. She said, "I need to see his report and then I can issue you a replacement couch." I asked for it in writing and was told, "I don't do that." Isn't that cute!? I told her, "Well, that's fine because I'm recording this call" and she lost her temper. Too bad. I lost four days of work. I lost money from missing work. I lost money buying this garbage furniture and I am approaching the one-year warranty deadline. Meryl tells me to call back on Wednesday at 9am.

    I'm going to be blowing up her phone like she's Justin Bieber and I'm a lovesick teen girl. I am not stopping here. I have everything documented, even video of the repair people. I live in an FBI building. Big brother is always watching. Now it's going to get fun because if they don't replace this sofa, I plan on bringing them to court. I want my money back and lost wages not to mention compensation for my cell phone bill for the hours I wasted waiting on hold to be told "I'm sorry." Well, I'm sorry doesn't fix the squeaking. This company should not be in business. They lie. They steal. And they have no remorse. All of the complaints I have read make me shake my head in disgust. Don't ever buy from this company. These types of business practices are disgraceful.

    Jennifer Convertibles is a crooked company who does not stand behind their products. Run fast and far and don't look back. I will not rest until justice has been served. I suggest a class action lawsuit and let's put these crooks out of business for good. I'm tired. It's been four months and it still isn't resolved. Are they waiting for me to throw in the towel? It seems that way, but I have plans on a lawsuit. If you are looking to buy furniture, go elsewhere. Save yourself what we all have endured and in hindsight, I would've done a better research prior to purchasing these poorly made fake leather couches that fell apart in six months. Where is integrity and justice? I know for certain it is not at Jennifer Convertibles. Stay away!

He said and I quote, "Worst case, I will come back and repair it, but am sure they will give you a replacement." Jennifer Convertibles sent me an email a week later, stating that splitting was not covered under the warranty.

    The sofa cost almost $1,000. So I called customer service several times, they are rude, uncaring and left me on hold 8 to 10 minutes each time I called.

    I purchased a package deal from Jennifer convertibles early September. This package included a sofa, loveseat, queen bed and dinette set for $999.99. Adding in delivery and tax, my total came to $1,219.98. At first, this seemed to be a great deal. However, after the headache we have had to go through just to get our furniture, I feel this was one of the worst mistakes of my life. We were given a delivery date of about a week and a half out and told that we would receive a call narrowing down the time. Well, we waited and no call ever came telling us what time they were coming.

    On the date of delivery, I receive a call from the driver saying he is five minutes away; what?! This was at 8 something in the morning on a weekday! I was not at the house, as I had other commitments that early and was in traffic. I told them I was not at home, but would try to make it in about 15 minutes. Of course, when you are in a hurry to get somewhere, traffic never cooperates! I then received a call from dispatch like 2 minutes later saying that her driver was at the house waiting on me. I informed her that I was trying to make it and to please not leave. She said that her driver would stay until 8:34am. I am rushing my butt off, trying to avoid tickets, fussing all the way wondering why I didn’t receive a phone call telling me the time they would be there. If I had known, I would have been there or made arrangements for someone to be there.

    As I am driving, I am feverishly trying to redial the number back, letting them know I am close and not to leave, but the phone number says it cannot receive incoming calls! So, I tried calling back the driver number, but he does not answer. I arrive at my house at 8:38 and no truck is in sight. I am still calling trying to reach the driver and he finally answers, only to tell me he can't come back and that I have to call the store to reschedule a delivery date. What?! You have got to be kidding me, right? "No," he answered. He tells me because I was not home; he couldn't wait any longer and had to leave. I am furious because I would not be in this situation had they called in advance, like they promised to give me a time.

    Since then, my husband and I have visited the showroom three times, called the store manager constantly, and written a complaint on their website and have yet to get a return phone call about this situation. The manager, who seemed extremely concerned about losing her job, if we called her DM, tried to schedule another delivery, but said it would cost us an additional $160.00. Then, she said we could pick it up, but the only pickup day was Tuesday, which is not convenient for me. So, essentially, they are holding my furniture hostage, due to a lack of integrity and professionalism on their part, but I am to blame and must eat the cost? What? Are they out of their cotton-pickin' mind? What makes matters worse is that the bed in this package was for my disabled mother, who is now sleeping in my 6-year old’s bed! This is unacceptable and I am so disenchanted with them, that I don't even want the furniture now. I just want my money back! You rotten thieves!

    Jennifer Convertibles sells crappy furniture. I bought a modular sofa last year (2011) which cost me $2,000. We only use the sofa bed when guests come over, and we've probably only used it 2-3 times. We opened up the sofa bed recently when family came over, and when someone sat on it to get into the bed, the frame collapsed. This is poor use of materials and workmanship since a bed frame is NOT supposed to collapse when someone gets on it, and Jennifer Convertibles won't do anything for you unless you've bought an extended warranty. This means that they don't stand behind the furniture they sell unless you pay more money so they can fix the crap that they sell. On top of that, the cushions were sagging, that it's now uncomfortable to sit on the sofa!

    Before we knew of the quality of their furniture, we also bought a dining set. The top of the dining table was discolored in a few months and the paint was peeling off the seats. Unfortunately, my cousin also bought a sofa set from them (they were taken in by the cheap price, but you get what you pay for). After a year, the fabric started to look really old and linty and the arm collapsed as well. Even though they purchased an extended warranty, they were told that it does not cover the fabric. Beware of the furniture in these stores. It’s better to pay a little bit more for better quality furniture that will last longer than a year!

The first repair tech said that it would be covered and that he would order the part right away and send it to us. We called after not hearing from them for almost a month and they told us that they did not make the part anymore. They sent out an outside repair contractor that said that while it was covered, it was a non-repairable puncture. Now after almost three months since we first called, Jennifer Convertibles states that we have no coverage due to a list of reasons that have nothing to do with the tear. The policy states that if they cannot fix the tear that they would cover the replacement of the love seat. It seems very strange that everything was covered until it comes to replacing the unit.

They then decide to fix it and you have to waste more of your time waiting for a technician to come and fix this issue. Once they do, our couch was fixed for maybe a week before another part broke on it. We have no kids jumping on it or anything, it's just really poor quality materials.

I called customer service and was told to throw the set away. I asked after less than 4 years. He asked me how long I thought it would last. I said certainly not less than 4 years.

    I also pointed out to him that I thought for the price I paid that I received a high-quality product, which is very apparent that I did not. He had no answer or comment for that question. I intend to never purchase from Jennifer again due to the low quality of their furniture and would not recommend anyone else to buy from that chain. There is a reason they do not warrant their product to last more than a year, since apparently, most of the times, it does not. Consumers are just better off buying elsewhere.

    I bought my black, so-called leather sofa from Jennifer Leather on Queens Boulevard in November of 2010. I was so happy and "proud" of my first leather sofa, I didn't even want my kids sitting on it. I wanted protection for my sofa, so I was encouraged to purchase the extended warranty. I was reluctant, but later purchased the five-year warranty just for my own piece of mind. Approximately one year later, I started to notice one of the cushions from my "pride and joy" leather sofa started peeling, and of course, I accused the children of doing it. A week later, I noticed a big bubble on the back of the sofa and I was frantic. I immediately contacted the servicer for my warranty, "Guardsman," the company that claims to provide "excellence in furniture care since 1915," and was told that my warranty does not cover peeling. All the cushions are now peeling and there are bubbles all over the back of the sofa. I feel so hurt, angry, disappointed and violated by these "takers." I am ready to take legal action against these unconscionable bastards. They should not get away with this.

    We purchased our leather couch in late October 2008. Within two years, it started to crack and peel. I contacted the repair and service department to fix the issue under our additional purchase of warranty. They stated that the warranty doesn't cover peeling leather, only burns and punctures. They then told me that peeling is from normal wear and tear. I disagreed with them and informed them that I have never seen a leather couch peel from just sitting on it. The cushions on the couch are now peeled half way off. The little flakes of leather are throughout my house. They stick to our clothes, flake off the floor and cause a huge daily mess. We are now looking for a new better quality couch after only three and half years of being unsatisfied with this one.

    My wife and I bought a "leather" sofa, love seat, overstuffed chair and ottoman nine years ago in 2003, paid $2,760.15 (tax and delivery). We paid $359.96 for the Upholstery Shield Fabric /Leather Protection Plan. All was well with the furniture until a month ago when my son laid on the couch and his keys fell out of his pocket and made two cuts in the center cushion of my sofa. After reading the $359 policy, I followed the instructions of calling the customer service number within 7 days of the cut.

    I spoke to someone in customer service who told me to send pictures to the photos@jenniferfurniture.com email address. She said that someone would be contacting me within 72 hours of them receiving the photos. So, I did. Three weeks passed and no contact from Jennifer, so I called the customer service center again (on hold with their music for 28 minutes). This time I spoke with Sulette (she is probably the same person I spoke with 3 weeks prior) who proceeded to tell me that my claim had been denied because it was determined that my two straight, parallel cuts only on the center of the sofa were caused by "normal wear and tear" which is not covered under their guarantee. I asked her why I wasn’t informed by someone 3 weeks earlier. She apologized for the lack of contact.

    While I was talking to her and reading the "Lifetime Leather Protection Plan" carefully, the answer did not seem logical. So, I asked to speak with someone either in the department that made the determination or her manager. She told me that neither was available and they would tell me the same thing. She said that she would have her manager, Meryl, call me within 24 hours.

    Today, 7/10/2012, I received a phone call from Meryl stating that the QR people made the determination from the picture I sent them and that it was final. I then asked Meryl if she could send someone out to the house to look at the tears and make a determination. She said, now this is the part that gets me. I asked what would have happened if I didn't send the photos in, what would they have done to determine if the tears met the lifelong guarantee criteria. She said, are you ready for this, if they didn't have pictures, they would have sent someone out to my house to look at the tears. What?! Are you kidding me?! So then I said, because my photography, camera, lighting, whatever was not good enough for their QA people to determine an accidental tear from normal wear and tear, I have to suffer and bite the bullet and not have it repaired as guaranteed by my $359 Lifetime Leather Protection Plan.

    So realistically, how long does this bait and switch need to go on? Your customers get no satisfaction and there are people like me, on this very blog site, that state the same types of injustices by the same employees, yet you continue to employ the same tactics and the same people that give absolutely outrageously bad customer service. Something needs to be done. I want satisfaction. I have submitted a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and will continue to pursue this fraud until there is a positive resolution to this issue.

    Bonded leather or reconstituted leather is not really a true leather but a man-made material composed of 90% to 100% leather fibers (often scrap from leather tanneries or leather workshops) bonded together with latex binders to create a look and feel similar to that of true leather at a fraction of the cost. Jennifer Convertibles should be made to use the words "faux leather" for all furniture made with bonded leather so that the consumer is fully aware that what they are getting is not a true leather.

    My husband purchased our sleeper sofa in 2007 and as of 2011, it began to bubble in certain places on all the cushions. The bubbles have split and the so-called leather is now peeling away from an ugly brown material underneath. When you look at the lifetime warranty we purchased, Jennifer doesn't cover any of the issues associated with this fabric. It seems like it was written specifically for bonded leather couches, everything that will happen to your bonded leather furniture is coincidentally not covered by their warranty. I emphasize "will" because it is becoming a known fact that bonded leather will self destruct - bubbling, splitting and peeling will happen.

    Jennifer Convertibles should not be allowed to get away with this. Bonded leather can't even be fixed. Too many of us are left with furniture that cannot be repaired and looks absolutely horrible. Consumers are confused and tricked into thinking that furniture is made with leather and buy it because of that word alone. Calling these products bonded leather is deceptive because it does not represent its true nature. Jennifer is making profits while consumers are losing money by having to replace their unsightly, unfixable pieces of furniture. We need another description for these products along with a warning or some literature about the fabric but most of all, we (the consumers) need justice.

    I purchased a couch from Jennifer Convertibles. I had the couch for less than 8 months. I use the couch about 4 hours a day to watch TV in the evening. The cushions are worn out already and the inner part of the couch has already broken. I am a single person and this is already the wear and tear on the couch. They refuse to replace the couch. I cannot even sit on it. It's my primary piece of furniture. They said they will repair it. It will take up to 4 months before a repair can take place while waiting for parts. The couch was over $1,200.00. It's now on sale for $400.00; if it's worth $300.00, they are lucky. I can't afford another couch. I can't sit on this one and the customer service is so poor I can't imagine they have any employee who is proud to stand behind their products. I literally have to place books in between the cushions and the base of the couch so that it creates a buffer so if I actually want to sit, I don't create a back problem for myself. The couch was a year old in May 2012. What kind of garbage is that? I would love for somebody to contact me. I cannot get a decent customer service rep on the phone.

I'm a working person on a budget and I can't afford to just throw it out and buy another.

    I purchased a sofa sleeper from Jennifer Convertibles. After waiting several months, the furniture was finally delivered on June 2011. After delivery, I noticed that the sofa squeaks when we sat down and got up. Shortly after, the back cushions began to sink and the seat cushions slides out. The first technician was a no-show. The second technician cancelled at the last hour. The third technician showed up without a confirmed appointment. The third technician claimed he fixed it, but the problem persisted. The fourth technician said he will order parts and return once they have them. After parts were received, he came back and re-stuffed the back pillows and sewed it up. I showed him that the seat cushions slides and he said that's because it's a sofa sleeper and not a regular sofa. I told him this did not happen in the store when I test out the product. He said the stores do not have sofa sleepers, only regular sofas, and that the sales person should have mentioned that to me.

    In one of my email complaints to customer service about this that was dated February 23, 2012, their response was: "We apologize. We are waiting for the technician’s report." On Sunday, April 22, 2012, I received an email from Jennifer Convertibles’ customer service telling me the sofa is free of defect. Today, the sofa still squeaks, the back cushion is still sinking and my seat cushion slides when you sit and stand. According to the customer service agent I spoke with today, April 25, 2012, he told me that the technician states that this problem is a normal breakdown (a.k.a., normal wear and tear). If this is happening to this sofa that I've owned for less than one year, what will two to three years look like? He will send another technician to assess; however, it is up to me if you want to pursue legal actions. Have a good day. I wonder how the CEO of Jennifer Convertibles would feel if this happened to one of their close family members.

    Huge mistake attempting to deal with these people! For your own sanity, don't waste your precious time and money. Look at other Jennifer reviews. They tell a story. My dad purchased an air mattress. It had to be specially ordered. I picked it up at their High Ridge Road, Stamford location. My bad for not inspecting first, prior to leaving the showroom, as the mattress material was ripped open at the package bottom. The "good side" was up in the showroom, as Jack brought my attention to the pump secured in the package top. I carefully carried the mattress to my Lexus RX, placed it in the vehicle, and drove to my dad's in Greenwich. Upon arriving at my dad's, I discovered the damage.

    Please note that such damage could have never occurred if the mattress were placed on concrete or any abrasive surface as the packaging would have protected the mattress. It had to have been dragged across such a surface as the heavy material was ripped open at the package bottom. I immediately took photos, phoned Jennifer in Stamford at 203 322-2080 and spoke with Jack. I explained the problem. Silence. I asked, "Did you even check the package before it left your showroom?" Silence. I stated, "Now I know." His response, literally: "It looked fine to me." Now both he and the manager, Chris, insist the mattress left the showroom in good condition, yet Chris wasn't even in the store at the time of pickup.

    I'm in awe as I know with certainty that neither could have possibly missed the damage, had they inspected. IMHO, this collusion should cost both their jobs. I have been patronized and lied to by Jennifer. It doesn't sit well. I filed a complaint through Jennifer's website on the evening of Thursday, April 5th. No response from Jennifer. To date, Jennifer states they have no such complaint on file. I submitted a second complaint on Wednesday, April 11, 2012. No response to date, even though their site's "success message" stated the following: "Thank You for your response. Because we understand that customers like you are the cornerstone of our company's success, we're very interested in hearing your comments, questions and inquires. We will do our best to address them in a timely fashion. Normally responses are made within three business days. We'd like to thank you in advance for your patience, and will continually strive to offer you the best Values and Service in the furniture industry."

    Again, no response to date. I phoned Jennifer customer service at 1-800-371-6111 on 4-17-2012 at 4:42 p.m. and waited on hold for 10 minutes with no music on hold. I could not tell if the call had been dropped or if I was still on hold, yet the line never went dead and no one came to the phone. I phoned a second time on 4-18-12 at 4:13 p.m. and was on hold for 11 minutes. The music on hold disappeared halfway through that time and no one came to the phone. Who has time for this? I don't. The only reason I'm taking the time to report this horrible company is to hopefully spare another from the same. I had to give them one star. They don't even deserve that.

If they are no longer in the area, shouldn't it be their responsibility to subcontract out the work? Has anybody been able to confirm or deny whether or not this stuff is actually leather?

    Jennifer Convertibles Warranty Coverage - A burn in a $4,000 couch I purchased from Jennifer Convertibles, along with the lifetime warranty, was treated by a Jennifer Convertibles technician on 4 different occasions over the course of 4 months. The first visit resulted in a mess of the cushion because the technician used the wrong method (as verified by the 2nd technician). The 2nd technician airbrushed the couch and was able to cover the burn but he used the wrong color so one cushion on my brown leather custom-built couch is now green. Two additional attempts did not successfully fix the problem and now Jennifer Convertibles has come back and said that the discoloration is a result of sunlight (only on one cushion).

We bought the sofas and the plan because we were told they were genuine leather and that the plan covered everything, including peeling. We had our sofas in the family room at our home and used them sparingly. Nonetheless, less than a year after we purchased them, one of the cushions started to peel. We looked for the receipt to file a claim but we could not find it. We tried to get Jennifer Convertibles to fix it, asking them to find us in their records, but we were told they could not do that, that we had to provide them with the proof of purchase.

    We started to use the sofas less and less, and eventually moved them to a room where they were hardly used. In time we found the receipt but Jennifer Convertibles store in Tustin had closed. We tried Jennifer Convertibles toll free number and filed a claim but we were told that peeling was not covered.

    Recently, we moved and decided to use them in our living room. To our horror, with very little use the sofas started to peel again. It’s gotten so bad that the finish is coming off completely. The pieces that have peeled are all over the place. They get stuck on my kids clothes, they get on the floors, other furniture, and we even find them on the kitchen cabinets and the bathtub. They are literally disintegrating. The peeling has revealed that they are not leather, but some sort of synthetic. We are not only disappointed, we are angry. They are an eyesore and prevent us from keeping a clean house because the little pieces get everywhere. Yet, Jennifer Convertibles refuse to replace them.

    Things are so bad that we made a YouTube video and are preparing to sue them in small claims court. We are no longer disappointed, we are angry. The peeling is uncharacteristic for leather, so we were lied to about it. That's fraud. After looking at the video, we are confident that we will get damages, perhaps even triple damages, it is so outrageous. Judge for yourself at YouTube.

I contacted the upholstery shield department and they said that peeling was not covered. I took it to the store where I bought it and got the same reply. Two years later, 5.5 years after I bought the chair and sofa piece, both the sofa and chair are peeling like crazy. I've consulted with a leather tech and he stated that it was bonded leather of very poor quality. My invoice and salesperson from Jennifer Convertibles stated that the furniture upholstery is semi-aniline leather.

    The furniture has received little use since I purchased it in mid 2006 due to its location. My neighbor has had a semi-aniline leather couch for 18 years and it still is in excellent condition, and he has kids and pets. I have received no assistance with the peeling from Jennifer Convertibles and their upholstery shield other than offering me a 30% discount.

After numerous calls to Corporate and the showroom, who at one point answered the phone as 'Burger King', I have yet to receive a call from anyone addressing this issue, or attempting to resolve it. I now am considering canceling the entire order. Please help to resolve this situation.

    On February 8 of this year, I had a technician come and check our furniture because we have some damage to the pillows and the cushions on the furniture. When we bought the furniture, we were told that it will fix all repairs and if it can not be fixed, then they will replace it. The technician told us that we would hear from someone in two weeks and then the two weeks passed and I called them since. They did not call or send me a letter. When I called the girl, she said that they could not help me because they don't cover it. I said what am I supposed to do with furniture that is peeling and that there are holes. She said all we can give you is a coupon for 20% off of a $600 purchase. I will never use them again. You got to be kidding me. I will never spend any money on them ever again.

    I bought a recliner in 2007, and paid for a lifetime warranty. The recliner started to peel and split at the seams. Also, I accidentally cut the leather. I called Jennifer to repair or replace the item. It took six months. Yesterday, they brought a chair which is smaller, and I no longer have the lifetime warranty. I need to have this resolved as amicably, and as soon as possible.

Two weeks later, I sat on the sofa and the whole pillow peeled. The technician put too much heat on that area of my sofa and damaged the pillow.

    From Jennifer Convertibles (NJ) I purchased 1 sofa sleeper and 1 sofa for Florida. We visit a few times a year and have no pets or children. The sofas are peeling - I upgraded to leather from the microfabric thinking they were more durable. I could probably count how many times anyone has sat on the sofas - the bed was used once.

    Customer Service says “Sorry but your problem is outside of our 12 month warranty period.” My inability anywhere to find a customer service telephone number should have been an indicator. Their only contact is via email. How did this company who enjoyed a stellar reputation for so many years degenerate so deeply? I purchased from them based on their reputation for a quality product and feel terribly disappointed. What does one do with disintegrating leather?

    I purchased a $3,000 leather sofa bed, with lifetime warranty. Now, Jennifer Convertibles, refuses to honor the warranty. I find it poor business ethics to handle customers in this manner. I understand you are no longer operating in Florida, but there shouldn't be anything to say, that you can honor your warranty. Honor your consumers. They remember who does well, and who does not. I will not quit pursuing this warranty. I will write letters, until something is done. The customer service agents have no manners, no clue on how to speak, or communicate effectively. I will never shop at Jennifer's Convertibles. Buyers, beware.

Jennifer Convertibles utilizes a contractor to perform the cleaning services. The contractors are unprofessional and take several weeks before returning a service call to schedule an appointment.

After several weeks with no appointment scheduled, I followed up with Janet. She indicated that the contractor requested pictures of stains prior to coming to service me. I stated this wasn't in the sales agreement so I requested a refund. I was referred to the corporate office.

    On January 30th, I spoke with Ms. Meryl **, supervisor, requested a prorated refund for the Upholstery Shield plan. She stated that they don't give refunds and I said "where can I find that in writing?". She was unable to provide me supporting documentation that the plan was non-refundable.

We noticed that along with a variety of small annoyances, the hide-a-bed frame contacting our hardwood floor and marring it, a spring that shot through the bottom part of the love seat. The Leather began to 'peel' off of the cushions and the piping that runs along the front of the cushions began to wear disproportionally fast to the back cushions.

When speaking to them, they seemed unaffected and not to care that they sold defective furniture. I did purchase a warranty shield (lifetime). They said it doesn't cover this problem. They also said that even if it did cover, they could not help me because they are no longer in business in Florida. What are my options?

    I moved into in a newly constructed building in September. I purchased a queen size sofa bed couch from Jennifer Convertibles and it was delivered on October 12, 2011. On October 14, 2011 I called Jennifer Convertibles and asked them to please pick up the couch immediately because the couch had bugs in it. I could feel the bugs biting me the same night it was delivered. My wife did not sit on the couch the same night of delivery so she was not convinced when I told her about this the next day. It was the next night when she sat on the couch she felt the biting too.

    We called one day after delivery for the couch to be removed and Jennifer Convertibles took twelve days to come and pick up the couch. While they were deciding what they were gonna do the bugs infested my brand new home. It is now almost three months since they removed the couch and the bugs are still here. We have spent over $1000.00 buying products to get rid of the bugs to no avail. I asked Jennifer Convertibles to supply me with an exterminator when the problem started. I sent the CEO Ronald Turin a copy of the bills I had at that time; of course I have more because the problem still exist. On December 20, 2011 I received a call from Jennifer Convertibles that they received my package but they will not be reimbursing me for anything.

    I have been living in a nightmare since that couch was delivered here. We have been getting bit by these bugs for two and a half months. Jennifer Convertibles also kept my $100.00 delivery fee. We have spent at least $1000.00 trying to get rid of the bugs to no avail. They are still here. I'm sure when I went to the hospital on November 24, 2011 because I couldn't breathe it was because of the twenty three bug foggers and all the other pesticides we were using to kill the bugs. The bugs even went with me to the hospital because they go in your clothes. My family can not come and visit and I can not visit them either because the bugs travel in your clothes. I don't even want to get dressed because they might be in my clothes. I just wore the same clothes and keep washing them. Everything has to be put in to plastic bags immediately. I have all my clothes in plastic bags sitting in my living room. They are sitting in the same place I had the bug infested couch. It is a nightmare and it’s not over yet. I feel that we should be reimbursed all the money we are spending and pain and suffering. I forgot to tell you that you can't sleep either because they are biting you all night.

    We purchased a sofa and love seat from Jennifer Convertibles 4 years back, in 2007. We got a lifetime protection plan of around $400, which is top of the line. The material on the sofa (not leather, it was a blend of leather and artificial material) began to crack. We called Jennifer Convertibles and they sent someone to take a look at it. Finally, after looking at it, they said cracks are not covered. They said cracks are part of regular wear and tear which is not covered. Imagine buying a $400 plan and getting this answer. We were shocked by this response and decided never to buy their merchandise again. I’m writing this review for the benefit of all folks who can read this experience and hopefully benefit from this.

When I contacted them, they told me that I no longer lived close enough to a store to receive even a visit from a technician.

    I bought a convertible sofa bed along with centre table from Jennifer Convertibles in Paramus, NJ. I was given a delivery date in Dec. 2011 and a time window of 12 pm to 5 pm. On delivery date, we called the store to get to know the exact delivery time so that we can run outside to do some home errands, as we are not used to getting trapped in the house doing nothing. The store said they couldn’t estimate the delivery time and they said the driver can even come at 5 pm. The driver came at exactly 5 pm. However, the elevator in my apartment went down at 4 pm.

    When the driver came, we informed that elevator was down. He asked for money to lift the furniture up to 7th floor. I denied and asked them to wait for 30 minutes as the technician was fixing the elevator. They didn’t even wait for full 15 minutes. And by the time I called the store to fix this additional charge issue, the truck just left without informing.

    Two days later, when I visited the store to reschedule the delivery, they asked for $150 plus tax for delivery. They said that they were sorry about what happened to us, but they have to pay the charges to delivery company and they can’t waive this $150 some charges. We tried a lot to convince him that the elevator going down was not a scheduled downtime and it was a mechanical fault. So, such exceptional cases should be handled properly at their end. However, they couldn’t do any help to us and even we couldn’t cancel the whole owner since we will have to forfeit 30% of the money.
