    I purchased a leather sofa from Jennifer Convertibles in 2010. The salesman got me to purchase the protection plan for an extra hundred or so dollars. He sold me because he said everything was covered. I pressed him on this point, so I asked "What about dog pee or scratches?" Yep, everything he replied. Two years later, when I filed a claim to have my sofa repaired, they denied it. I called Michael, the salesman at the Beverly Hills location where I purchased my sofa, because I was angry he misinformed me. He tried to deny it all, said I should have read the "contract." 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. Don't fall for the warranty scam, they won't fix your couch!!!

    We purchased a leather couch and a leather loveseat from Jennifer Convertibles. Within a year, the leather started to pucker, crack and peel. The leather peels off in extremely thin, paper-like layers. Three years later, the loveseat is now completely destroyed and is kept covered because it is so embarrassing when anyone is over. Even covered, the leather continues to peel off due to the movement of anyone sitting on it. This is ridiculous, especially considering there are no children jumping on the couch nor is the couch being abused in any way.

    Jennifer Convertibles is a ripoff. I purchased a leather sofa set from them which has been peeling for the past three or four years. I called Jennifer Convertibles and spoke with a salesperson who was no help. I tried calling the number on the warranty contract and no one answered. I left several messages and no one has ever returned my calls. I think Jennifer Convertibles should have to reimburse everyone that has a peeling issue. I have also told all my family and friends NOT to buy any furniture from this place.

    I purchased a leather sectional, $1800.00, along with extended warranty with additional cost, from Jennifer Convertibles in New Hampshire. It was brand new, but did not hold up very long, at all. The leather started to crack and wear out to the point of disintegrating and leaving a massive hole, not very nice looking, a shame really. 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.

    Now I see the Today Show on NBC covering complaints that have been made about the Jennifer Convertible stores. Is there anything I can do to get some of the money I spent back?

    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. Can you explain?

    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.

It started in one corner and is now peeling off everywhere. The flakes are all over our clothes and house. We were misled to believe we were buying a real leather couch.

    I bought a Sofa bed at Jennifer back in January 2013; two months later, I found out that the cushions had a problem, so I called them to report the problem. The company sent a technician who stated to me that there was a problem with the cushions of the sofa. When I asked the technician what would be the next step, he stated that I would be receiving a letter with the remedy to rectify the situation. I received that letter contradicting the first technician they initially sent to check the item. 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." The company is refusing to give me another sofa bed or my money back. The customer service is terrible and treats customers with disrespect. I won't recommend anybody to do business with Jennifer Convertibles.

    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.

    To all the people ripped off by Jennifer Convertibles, please contact the NY State Atty. General’s Office. After doing some research, I have found that in 2004, there was a case against them for bad business practices. They lost the case and were supposed to stop misrepresenting their products and warranties. I also bought a Wrigley set couch, loveseat, chair and ottoman which within a year was peeling and cracking - it was in a vacation home which is hardly used. If we all complain to the Atty.

    I purchased a leather sectional sofa and within 2 years, the leather started flaking apart. Before the third year, the flaking had turned into holes and it seemed like the leather was just disintegrating on its own. At that time, I had contacted Jennifer Convertibles since I had purchased an additional warranty for $200. 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 will never buy any of their products again and I warn everyone of their poor quality and warranty coverage. Any company who cannot stand behind their written policy and warranty should not be in business. What a horrible product and horrible experience!!!

    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.

    Let me say without going into a long explanation of what happens when you purchase this so-called lifetime upholstery shield contract, do not buy this!

Their reasons are all detailed in the contract you agreed to, according to them, and only under the most special circumstances will your request ever be honored. I've tried on at least 3 different occasions to have them either clean or replace the merchandise, only to be answered with various reasons why they wouldn't replace my slipcovers.

I tried calling Jennifer Furniture many of times and always got a busy signal. Now, I am told that all the stores in Illinois have been closed and no one wants to admit to this being a scam because after the 1st year, I tried to contact the company for service and was never able to.

I want a refund of my money, because I only bought this plan because of who I was doing business with. This was not Acme Furniture but a respected company.

    I will report this to the Better Business Bureau to have them inform other states if I do not get satisfaction. In today's economy, 100 dollars is huge.

    My fiance and I purchased a sectional sofa in Feb. 2012. At first, we were so excited because what we sat on in the showroom was wonderful and very comfortable. What arrived at our home was not what we paid for. With the extra protection, we spent over $1400 on that piece of crap! Within four months, the sofa started sinking in spots and the legs broke from under the ottoman. It took me two months just to get someone out to our home to repair the break. All this man did was to take out the very thin pieces of wood and replace them with very thin pieces of wood. He put some glue and a couple of screws on the spot. Then he told us the reason it broke in the first place is that an ottoman is for your feet and not for sitting.

    We purchased a reclining sofa in December 2008. For the past year, the sofa has been peeling. It is totally ugly and I have to keep it covered with throws. I tried calling the customer service line, 1-800-371-6111, and I was on hold for over 20 minutes and finally hung up. I can honestly say we will never purchase another item from Jennifer.

    I purchased a 2-piece living room set in February 2012 at Astoria's showroom and the quality turned out to be a complete disappointment. When I originally received the sofas, they were defective. In the back of them, there were springs sticking out of them so a representative of the customer care sent someone who simply hammered in the piece in the back of the sofa. Approximately 6 months later, they looked in horrible shape. The cushions are sinking in. The materials color has faded. It was just not what I paid for. I was told last September that the materials were being ordered and that I would be contacted with a date for the repair. Near the end of December, they were scheduled to come to make repairs on the units but when they arrived, they realized that the materials were incorrect and were not able to proceed.

    Instead, I received another notice informing me that the materials were ordered once again and it would take another 10 to 12 weeks to receive; at which point, another appointment would be scheduled. It is almost a year since I purchased these sofas and they have neglected to resolve this matter. They have not in any way tried to compensate me for the lost time or the money I spent on their product with much sacrifice. They seem unapologetic and don't seem to care at all that they have sold me a damaged living room set. I just want my money returned to me and no longer want these sofas. I would never recommend them and will never conduct business with them ever again.

    In Oct. 2008, I purchased a "leather blend" sofa and loveseat for $1,150. In 2011, the "leather" started peeling everywhere! I had no idea that the lifetime of a sofa and loveseat was 2.5 years. Now I'm worried about pieces of couch being all over my apartment and my 2-year-old eating them. I am extremely interested in getting involved with a class action lawsuit against these guys. I still have all my original receipts. How does one go about doing this?

    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.

    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!

    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!

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. Now it's not covered. This is just wrong!

    I purchased furniture from Jennifer Convertibles which would take 4 to 6 weeks delivery. They called to say they do not have any more of those chairs. They offered me a smaller chair. I explained to the salesperson I am 5’10”, a smaller chair would not work. I said I wanted to cancel the rest of the order which I did not receive. They want to charge me 35% for a restocking fee. To restock what? I have not received anything and they are only going to eventually deliver 3 out of the 4 pieces. I feel like they are scamming me. How can I pay for a restocking fee if I have not received anything? This has been a horrible experience. I can’t get anyone to return my call. The salesperson who sold me the furniture will not take my call. Also, they are saying it's leather when it’s not. Please help. I am not sure what recourse I have as a buyer.

    I bought a sectional 6 months ago. Since then, it has broken twice. We have had our sectional for a short time and so far, the entire sectional has broken at some point. They send a tech and the tech then fixes or reports back his findings. This entire process takes well over 3 weeks and you can't use your couch in the meantime because it is broken. 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. The entire time you deal with customer service, they are the worst of any other company ever dealt with. They have no answers and don't care about their customers. This is the worst experience ever in my life and extremely unsatisfactory. Don't ever purchase from Jennifer Convertibles, ever.

    I purchased a sofabed in May 2012, and it was mounted with major defects - where the seat cushions did not sit properly on top of the couch. Instead, they sank into the wooden frame of the couch. I filed a claim one week later, and now it has been 2 months, and I still have no replacement couch, or parts that they claimed to order to fix the couch. It means that I've spent a lot of money at Jennifer Leather, and still have no couch on which to sit. Customer service employees are a waste. They keep telling me there's nothing that they can do and that it takes 10-12 weeks for the parts to arrive. I am totally frustrated as I have even asked them for a replacement chair for the meantime (a bean bag even). Their response was that there is nothing they can do.

    In August 2008, I purchased a leather furniture set for about $2.5K from Jennifer Leather. Back in June 2012, I started noticing that leather on the seat cushions is torn in multiple places. I called Jennifer right away. They scheduled an inspector to come in. The inspector came late in July 2012 and made picture of damages. Then a week and a half later, I received a letter from Jennifer Leather stating they are not responsible for the damages since it's a manufacturing defect. 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.

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.

    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 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 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.

    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.

They were quick to tell me,"We have closed our markets in your area and are not offering service any longer." Seriously? Nice lifetime plan. 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?

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 purchased the Wrigley living room set with the upholstery shield warranty for more than $2400.00 after delivery. After the first six months, I had to have the leather covering upholstery replaced on the sofa due to soft spots from defective interior lining, resulting in holes before they replaced. In the 2nd year, I noticed it had happened again and the leather was peeling off the back of the chair. I called and again they replaced the sofa leather and the peeling cushion on the chair.

    During my 3rd year of ownership, I noticed some slight peeling on the same chair that I replaced the cushions. 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. This will be no good to me since I refuse to buy their products again. The leather specialist says there is no way to repair the leather furniture’s finish after owning for only 5.5 years.

    I purchased a sectional sofa from a Jennifer Convertible store, and the Guardsman Protection Plan was added to my purchase without my knowledge. I paid an extra $180.00 for a plan I didn't even want. The store closed down after my furniture was delivered to me, and there was no way for me to contact them. Especially since there is no contact phone number on their website. I did email them on their website, and never got a reply from them.

    I did eventually find a customer service number, and when I contacted them, they said they could not refund me the $180.00. The supervisor I spoke to on their customer service (1-800-371-6111) was Meryl ** and and she hung up on me! Worst customer service and extremely rude!

    No Delivery of Goods, Rude and Unprofessional Staff: I ordered a sectional from Scarsdale, NY showroom on January 25, 2012. I put down the required deposit; I opened a credit card at the suggestion of the salesperson Denise. Denise called to alert me that I would be getting a delivery on 2/23/2012. When I called Denise on the 22nd for an approximate window of delivery, she told me to call back after 4:00, which I did. I then spoke to a Crystal who advised me to call back after 4:00, when I informed her that it was 4:20, she told me she would e-mail the warehouse and get the information, and for me to call back after 5:00 which I did. Pretty much the same scenario, she told me to call after 5, when I told her it was 5:15, she said she had no information and put me on with someone else, who knew even less.

    I advised the 2nd individual to have Crystal call me back or I would contact corporate. Crystal did call me back and it was not pleasant. She advised me that she didn’t sell me the couch so it was not her concern, I ended up calling her an idiot. (I call them as I see them). I took the day off on the 23rd for the delivery. No delivery as there was a glitch in the system. I had to call the showroom at 3:30 pm to receive this information. 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.

    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.

    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.

So they would have to bring it another day and for me to pay them around 200 dollars in cash.

    I called their department and the person talking to me told me about their "one year warranty" I have and to email them a picture of the damage and they will get back to me. So I wanted to give it a try and have the benefit of the doubt until I got onto my computer and realize she gave me a fake email address to send them the damage of the couch. Then I went to their website and I try to send them a picture but there's no file for me to do so. Obviously looking at this couch it can't be fixed because the leg of the mattress sticks out! And so does the springs! And I only took out the bed mattress when my mother in law would showed up.

    Then I called again talking to a different lady the next day and she was going to tell the manager about the situation and the manager would call back. Waited the next day and she never called back nor did I receive my money back even though they guarantee 30% on the contract to give back your money which I should honestly get it back in full or receive a set of new sofas but then again it will take 3-6 weeks for it to be made and sent. I do not want to go through with that and I do not want to deal with these people at all.

The 1st signs arose from 2 months prior and that other areas have shown damage since then. Pictures of the 4 areas with damage were emailed. They dismissed my explanation as soon as I mentioned 2 months.

    I have searched online and have found numerous consumer complaints regarding rejected service claims with many various reasons given from this same company. Also, they take a week to respond back to emails. There is no name or job title given in any of our correspondences. I asked for this info via email, and they have not responded in 2 weeks. These are all red flags to me with regards to their business practices.

    They have already been charged and convicted of fraud in 2004 by the NY Attorney General Spitzers' office. There was an injunction declared against Jennifer Convertibles, Inc. from any future deception, fraudulent, or illegal business practices which, in the judgement, includes not honoring their warranty. They clearly have not cleaned up their act.

    I put a deposit on a living room furniture. The apartment I was going to take fell through so I put the furniture on layaway. Unable to find an apartment that I wanted, I decided to have the furniture delivered to the house I own, care of my daughter, and I am having trouble doing that. The store is unable to give me a deliver date and they have not had my order processed so a delivery could be scheduled. I believe they do not have the furniture to deliver.

    This is a grave injustice that Jennifer Convertibles is attempting to subject me to. On September 2, 2011, I purchased two couches from Jennifer Convertibles, totaling $1,421.97 including tax and a delivery fee of $149.99. I was given a receipt and a Jennifer Furniture Pre-Delivery Information Guide. I knew I could not take off, therefore, I gave the salesman my phone number and the phone number of my son who would be taking off from work (sacrificing a days' pay) to wait for the delivery of the furniture. I was told that the couches would be delivered on September 15, and that it would be all day delivery, which was not a problem because my son had agreed to stay home all day on that date.

    I received two phone calls from Jennifer Convertibles, one of which was September 13, 2011, 48 hours before the delivery date. Both left messages confirming the delivery date and requesting that I call if there were any problems or changes. There were no changes or problems, the date was set, and someone would be home so it did not warrant a phone call. On September 15, 2011, my son was home and had to use the bathroom which he did with the bathroom door open so that he could hear the front door. No one knocked. He got out of the bathroom and saw a missed call on his phone. It was the Jennifer Convertibles driver. He called the driver immediately and the driver said he was just outside and was leaving. My son said to bring the furniture up. The driver would not. My son also asked the driver if he knocked on the door and the driver said that he had not. My son replied, I am here, bring the furniture up. The driver refused, and left.

    I have had furniture delivered in other apartments on other occasions. In every instance, the driver knocked on the door first to see if the customer was home. I have read all of the literature that Jennifer Convertibles has given me concerning delivery. I read the Jennifer Furniture Pre-Delivery Information Guide. On the day of the sale, I spoke to the sales person at the Jennifer Convertibles store concerning the delivery. Nowhere in the written information did it say that the driver was not required to knock on the door first to determine if the customer was home. The sales person did not mention this to me at all. What if we did not have a phone? Jennifer Convertibles would take my $1,421.97 and not deliver me the furniture I paid for? This is essentially what happened!

    Since I do not have the furniture I paid almost fifteen hundred dollars for and it was not delivered even though someone was home, I have asked Jennifer Convertibles for a full refund. First, I was told that I would not be refunded the delivery fee of $149.99, and if I wanted it redelivered, I would have to pay the delivery fee. I declined. This is an injustice.

    To make matters worse, the manager of the store, Ogee **, told me that if I received a refund, 30% would be taken off the price I originally paid. He explained that his hands were tied and that any decision otherwise was up to Laura **, the general manager. I am writing this letter in protest to the treatment that Jennifer Convertibles has extended to me. I demand a full refund, $1,421.97.

She would not give me a straight answer and would not let me speak. She, not once, but twice had another conversation with someone else without even saying "could you hold please" or "excuse me a moment". No, she did none of that. She is telling me what is on sale. I knew what I wanted which was what I saw in the paper that came today, 9/24/2011. I told her I was going to call another location who had the time to talk to me. She stated "ok". I did call the White Marsh location and was treated pleasantly by someone who was very helpful. Unfortunately, White Marsh is not a convenient location for me. I would like to make a purchase within the next week.

    I feel you should be concerned about this employee that does not care about a real customer. It seemed to be a young lady and it was at about 5pm when I called.

    We were heavily pitched with a warranty plan. It actually sounded like a good deal. From what was explained, all damages will be covered for life. Yes, we were told that all damages were covered. Of course, we didn't read the paper work while we were completing our transaction, but I wish we did. Unlike what the sales rep told us, this warranty hardly covers anything.

    Four years later, the leather is peeling apart in chunks, the leather is splitting where my elbows rest, and the leather is splitting on the seat. We called to have it repaired, and after several cancellations and reschedules, a guy shows up and takes pictures. We were told that the only damages they fix are "customer- caused" damages. We explained that this was customer-caused damage, but they didn't see it that way.

    Basically, actual damage that is typically caused by the owners is not covered. This warranty is a scam and a waste of money. Not only did they convince me to never buy a warranty again , but they also convinced me to never shop at Jennifer Convertibles again.
