I've had this sofa for maybe 3 years with minimal use. It's started cracking and coming apart, gaping tears in the leather. Absolutely awful quality. I live in an apt in filthy NYC, so when home, I take my shoes off and wear "inside clothes"- mainly comfortable pajamas, etc., with no buttons, zippers, or anything else to wear and tear the sofa leather. Still this thing has fallen apart, and it was expensive for this many years. I emailed Raymour & Flanigan Furniture - no reply, not even an acknowledgement. Avoid this place. I never post stuff like this, but I was spurred into action by their inaction and the awful quality of their merchandise. I have friends with Ikea furniture that has lasted longer (that's quite an insult if you've owned any Ikea furniture like I have).

I purchased a sleigh bedroom 4-piece cherry wood set for $1629.90 and purchased the Home Gold Protection Guardsman Plan at the Cherry Hill, New Jersey office. The top and bottom headboards are coming apart, railings have broken. I called the store and I was told call plan. I filed several claims but no one came out and I never got any one, just runaround. I'm told the plan is no longer with your company. I have been upset because the plan did not help me or your store. This set is falling apart. It's poorly built. I just wanted someone to try and fix it but only got the runaround.

I have been trying to reach someone at R & F for several hours. Each time I call, I am directed to a holding pattern, never to be answered, and the same thing happens with the "chat live now" request online. I've also phoned the local Corp. offices - put on hold, never answered - and called the local store where I purchased my sofa; they would not help me with my problem, but just kept saying I should call the number for customer care. Needless to say, this is very frustrating and seems like poor business to ignore customers in this manner. I would suggest to anyone considering a purchase with R & F, to first try to reach a rep by phone. If you can spend a day trying to do so, getting no response, and feel you are okay with that, then go ahead with your purchase. Otherwise, go somewhere else, since chances are you'll have some defect/flaw in your item.

Buyers beware despite claims from Raymour & Flanagan that their mattresses don't have bed bugs. I have had the worst experience of my life because the mattress they sold me did indeed have bugs. I have had no bed for two weeks. They refuse to give a loyal customer of ten years good customer service. The way their corporate headquarter's handling of this matter is trifling and this company and their owners should be ashamed of themselves. I am aware of the epidemic and they think they are exempted. They are considering if this is claim-worthy but as usual, nobody ever calls back. They have showed no compassion whatsoever for this mess they have brought into my home.
I am appalled that such a reputable company refuses to treat their customers with respect. I will never buy anything again from this company. I will continue to fight for them to pay for all the expenses I have incurred due to them picking up old bedding and delivering new mattress in the same truck, thus giving the bugs the ability to get into the new items. I know I am not the only person this has happened to and I will fight to the very end until the corporate apologizes and takes responsibility for this.

I ordered a special order dining set from the Farmingdale Store in Nov. 2011. It was delivered on Dec. 23, 2011. One chair in the set had a problem where the leg was sticking out from the seat of the chair. I did not want a repair because they would have to move the seat 1/8 of an inch to align the seat and chair frame which would have two holes next to each other on all four corners and would weaken the integrity of the chair.
I called for a replacement and was told would take six weeks. They called when the chair arrived and was told me there were sent two left legs and had to reorder. The next time, we were told they did not have the correct screws. Each time I called the store, I was passed to the service department. The next time, they came to deliver the chair and had none to replace it with. I told them not to take my chair until a replacement is found. The drivers called the office and were told it was lost.
That evening, a driver brought a chair which was the wrong color. I again went to the store to voice my complaint and attempt to resolve the issue. Again, they asked for me to be patient and they would try to find me another chair. They found a chair and brought it to my house. The new chair seat was not properly seated on the base. It was off by 1/8" gap all around. The driver took my original chair apart and moved the base so the legs lined up the way they were supposed to. I explained in the beginning I did not want this done because putting two holes right next to each other compromises the integrity of the structure.
After natural use, the movement on the chair will weaken and the seat will separate from the base. I called the store again and this time asked what guarantee they would provide if the chair seat broke months down the road. Again, they asked to give them a chance to find another chair. The replacement chair was to be delivered tomorrow and this evening, we received a call from Raymour and Flanigan telling us they could not deliver the chair. The reason you ask, yes they had two left legs - again.
I am in the service business. I understand things happen. There is no excuse for this type of service. If the vendor is providing such poor quality furniture and has so many problems getting one chair assembled properly, I would seriously rethink using them as a supplier. At this point, I am beside myself. If it wasn't so frustrating, it would be laughable. I will once again go to the store tomorrow and talk again to the store managers. I don't know where to go from here. I have done business with Raymour and Flanagan in the past and you can rest assure I will not be doing business with them in the future and will not recommend them to anyone.

I purchased a living room set with 3 tables before Thanksgiving. The furniture was delivered with some damage. They attempted to glue the leather and it didn't work. They made several attempts to deliver it before Christmas; each time, pieces were damaged. We had to undecorate my living room and clear the outside path. My wall was scratched, my front outside door slightly damaged, and the last time before the holidays, the couch was delivered unwrapped. My husband and son were asked to inspect it outside in the street. They brought it in the house, it got stuck in the door and they shoved it through and ripped the back. I called and complained and said I wanted a delivery after the holidays because I was tired of undecorating and redecorating my home - they said okay, they would contact us.
We were told by several of the drivers that they knew the furniture was damaged and they were told to try to deliver anyway. Great for customer service. I waited for about two weeks after the holidays and no call. I went to the store and spoke to Mr. ** at the Farmingdale store, who read in the computer all the troubles we have had. He also didn't feel we should have to keep a love seat that the tech sprayed because of white streaks in the leather. He told me Service would call to arrange a Saturday delivery so I could be home and that I would be compensated for all the inconvenience plus the fact that I had company for the holidays that saw tags from your company on the couch.
Through all this, I never missed a payment on furniture that was damaged as well as my home. Well, that Saturday delivery was 3 weeks after that visit to the store, and we were given a window of 1-4pm. It was 3:50pm and getting dark, and I wanted to be able to see the furniture. I called and was told it wasn't 4 o'clock yet. I told them to cancel the delivery which upset the rep, who said we were the last to be delivered to because there was an exchange. I replied it would have been nice to be told that since I waited all that time when I could have done some things. Supposedly, this is all documented, I was told, and that corporate was aware and would be in touch. Well, I am still waiting for corporate to call.
I am disgusted that such a big company does a lot of advertising about sales, and show how their customers are always happy, but really doesn't care about customer complaints or satisfaction. Hopefully, I will be contacted in regards to this complaint as I feel the manager just didn't want me to continue to voice my problem so he just told me corporate was involved. Because shame on you if customer satisfaction means nothing to you.

The delivery men who delivered my furniture were the rudest I have ever met. First, I opened the garage door, and the first delivery guy entered to see where my table would go. After which, he headed for my front door. I asked him to go back through the garage door, and he asked me why. "Why? 'Cause I asked you to." I then placed a sheet for them to walk on my baby blue carpet, and he was angry cause he had to wait until I placed it down. His retort was that I should have been prepared.
I noticed a nick on the table and mentioned it, and that infuriated the pair and led to me becoming very angry at them and asking why they were being so rude. He told me "Look, if you don't want the table, we can take it back." My response was that all I was doing was checking the furniture that I apparently paid for and that there was no need to be rude. He proceeded to tell the other guy "Let's take this table out of here." I was like "No, you don't." They walked out the door. I was yelling that I was going to call their supervisor. The first guy turned around and exclaimed, "Go right ahead. They have our backs." Needless to say, it was the one truth he told.
The supervisor called and explained to me that the guys did not want to come back in the house because of "hostile" environment and that I pushed them. My reaction was, needless to say, the obvious. I explained what had occurred, and his response was that he have to believe his guys and that what if they had tripped on the cover I placed to protect my carpet.
So I would have to wait until the following week. He would get someone else out there to assemble the table they left propped against my wall. I could not believe what I was hearing--the rudeness of these drivers--and the lack of consumer care was overwhelming. I am female and alone with these two characters, and they are intimidated by me and he believes them. I will never again purchase another piece of furniture from this store, since clearly, it is run by individuals who could care less about their jobs or customers who keep them employed.

I have never in my lifetime dealt with the rudest girls because I wouldn't call them women at Raymour and Flanigan in Staten Island. When you ask a question or for your salesperson, they are either chewing when they answer, keep you on hold too long, or are just rude – period. If you don't like your job, there are plenty of other people out there who would.
I have let everyone know of my experience here, and will never recommend anyone to this location in general. I canceled my order after I received 5 phone calls that I directly spoke with someone twice on them regarding my delivery. Do they even document they made calls to their customers? I highly doubt it. A store like this should not hire young girls to run their business. Extremely unprofessional. And this is almost everyone that answers the phones there. I would give names, but I won't be that mean.

I had problems with this (sofa) set so they sent so one out to sand them and re-spray, but they came out worst than before. So I called again and they sent out another tech to check the set and said that he can't do anything because it’s going to come out the same.
So he called up the office and put me on the phone with a very nasty lady and I didn't appreciate it. So now, I get a phone call and they said that they can't fix my couches because the factory warranty is over but I paid for the platinum plan and they said that peeling leather is not covered. I think this is a bad business move because I sent a lot of customers to their company and they spent a lot of money and I did to.
So please, I would like to continue doing business with them so they need to solve this problem even if I have to pay so money towards it. I would like to order a bedroom set for my kids too. Thank you in advance because I know they will come through for me. I don’t want to put a bad review, so please.

Platinum Protection Is a Joke: I bought a couch, a loveseat, chaise and ottoman with a five-year Platinum Protection. Within the first month, the chaise broke and they replaced it. Then the ottoman had a spill on it that they couldn't remove so they replaced it. Then the couch broke, which they couldn't fix. They didn't have anymore of that type of couch to replace it so they said we would either have to keep the broken couch or exchange the whole set for a new set of another type, voiding the warranty. They said that they would allow us to exchange our previous set for a new set of equal value. Unfortunately, this meant that I was trading in 4 pieces of furniture for two since prices have skyrocketed in the last two years.
We traded in the 4 pieces for a new couch and a loveseat. After the delivery, we noticed the couch had two holes in it, so they brought another 'new' couch. This time it was re-stitched with red string (a brown couch). They brought a third 'new' couch in 8 days and it was already sagging and the cushion was reupholstered. The company claims the couch was new and sent that way from Lane, but after talking to a Lane representative, she stated that it was impossible because it would take them 10 days to send the store a couch, and this couch was no longer manufactured by them. So, basically, they sold me used furniture as new, and now I do not have a Platinum Plan to cover it because they voided my paid for warranty when I exchanged my original purchase.

First, it is not easy to submit and email with a problem that I know will get back to store. Next, this is the second time that what was promised by sale person was not done. My wife, me, the salesman Scott along with a person entering information into the computer work together to make sure that my Tempur-Pedic mattress was open at the warehouse to air out before it was to be delivered. Well, it was not; therefore, we have not been able to sleep on it as I have a small lung problem. We even gave you over a week to do this. Not bad for spending $6000.00. And oh, by the way, the first mattress that this one replaced the manager changed the whole deal without telling us before we got to the desks. I called him a month later when I got a $78.00 interest fee. He said too bad you signed it. He’s not there anymore. Now I think I should hear about getting some money back, at least the interest that I paid.

I purchased a brand new leather sofa and loveseat on November 12, 2011. It was at a discount Raymour and Flanigan Furniture Store. On February 12, 2012, I sat on the sofa, and the whole back support snapped in half. I only weigh 120 lbs, so I know it did not collapse under heavy weight. Also, one of the attached seat cushions is flattened.
I called the store, and they told me that their merchandise has a manufacturer's warranty, except the merchandise at the discount store. So basically, they can sell defective merchandise at the discount store and they don't have to cover it under warranty. So now I am stuck in a new house, with a broken 3 month old sofa. I'm not made of money, and I cannot afford to purchase another one.
I am angry because I've given them lots of business in the past, and used them to furnish my new home. Now, I will never shop at Raymour and Flanigans again! They do not stand behind their products!

R&F is trying to bring the image of them been top brand store and selling top furniture. The only top thing about them is the top price they charge, everything else is a joke. Bought 3-piece leather set sofa, love seat and chair. The sofa looks like ** in 6 months--lots of cracks, rips and the leather’s peeling off like it's a 20-year old sofa. Service is a joke too. First, it’s sad I don't know how to fix it; then change story being that factory won't give them all the materials needed for repair. Then it’s simply sad since you're out of warranty, so get "lost". I think as a customer we deserve better than this. They want me to get lost. I'll get lost and take my business somewhere else. As for you guys you decide yourself where to take your business. I just don't want you to suffer as I did.

I purchased a $1300 leather sofa, the 2nd most expensive one in the store. It was paid in full and picked up in January 2011. As of July, the one cushion is flat.

My husband and I ordered three seats that were paid in full for them, and we requested that we inspect them on site before taking them home. We waited until they arrived. Two out of 3 were damaged. We returned them and reordered 2. They both arrived damaged. We cancelled one and ordered only one. They shipped two, just in case, and both came in damaged.
We decided we're no longer driving half hour each way and demanded that they deliver two so we choose one from them. They both arrived home damaged. We refused them and decided to reorder the matching one for us to pick up as we felt bad when the delivery men informed us that Raymour & Flanigan only pays them for merchandise accepted by clients. Finally, we went to the store and picked up one chair that was not damaged although both chairs that we purchased are still not of great quality.

I purchased a dining room set twice, only to be thwarted by delivery! I used their Roosevelt Blvd. store and their Columbus Blvd. store. Delivery times were set with R&F as well as with an outside entity only to fall through both times!
The second time I was so frustrated that it brought me to tears. Especially after my daughter and myself sat down and spoke with Columbus Blvd. store manager for over 30 minutes, reassured that everything would be fine. What a nightmare!
I called the delivery guy (private reliable guy) all weekend with a promise from manager Donnie for a delivery on Monday, 10/10/11, just for confirmation. Well, he did not answer the phone all weekend and when he did on Monday morning, he claimed to have lost his cellphone and that he did not want to hear any complaints! Mind you, now this is the delivery guy!
Needless to say, you may burn me once or even twice but in the end you lose because in both instances, I received my money back and never, never, never again will I set foot, look or go near an R&F store again! I will tell anyone who will listen to go to the website and look at all the complaints about Raymour and Flanigan and do not order from them. They need to take themselves off the market! I hate this company!

I bought two dressers, both were delivered with a damaged drawer each. First visit, the man inspected drawers and ordered new ones. Second visit, one drawer was correct and the other was the wrong size. Third visit, I requested that the drawer be sent to a store out of convenience to me. Again, wrong size. Fourth visit (today), the man showed up with no drawer at all. The customer service office must have thought I was inviting them for lunch or something.

My husband works for this company and the Goldburgs are so money hungry that they put their pockets above their employees. While in the Wilkes Barre Scranton area of PA, we were getting hit with hurricane Irene sight effects and were in state of emergencies. They required their employees, who are husbands, wives, moms, dads, and people's children, to go to work and risk their lives so they can possibly make a sale. Mind you, the weather was so bad that their store had no power or phones. If the Goldburgs, who own Raymour and Flanigan, don't care about their hardworking employees and their families, then trust me, they do not care about their coroners - your just dollar signs to them. Don't give your money to heartless greedy people like this.

This is about false advertisement regarding delivery and the poor customer service from the employees and managers of Raymour & Flanigan. They advertised three days (or less) guaranteed delivery. That is an outright lie. They do not guarantee anything. Don't be fooled, like we were. They told us that we would have our delivery within seven days from purchase, but we didn't even get that. We kept getting calls telling us that it would be delivered in another date, and then another date. The managers have little skills or ability to resolve problems.

I purchased a table and 4 chairs called bar table with black/white marble top. This set is another vendor that is delivered by Global Furniture USA. The office is located at 47 6th Street East Brunswick, NY 08816. The delivery time and date were one of the main issue. Then the items delivered became the other issue such as table top damage and the chair bottom/shoe was missing. I called Raymour and Flanigan about the issue, I was informed to call Global. I did.
Global had one of thier professional person to look over the merchandise. The person took pictures and called in the damage table. The person also was equipped with putting on the chairs knob/shoes in order to move the chairs smoothly. This was great. Now, I called and found a new table top will be exchanged, I said what about the rest?. I was told there is nothing wrong with the base of the table, so we will change the top. I said, why the set was delivered in the condition of thick dust. I was not given the set in the warehouse. I said the chairs appeared as if they were sat in somewhere else, due to used and two chair without the bottom/shoes.
Then we come to the actual delivery of the new table top. First delivery did not make it, I went away. I did not get a call about the delivery, so I called about a month or earlier later to get another delivery date, due to I would be on vacation again. I called Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The 800 number did not work. I called Raymour & Flanigan to alert them about my trouble in reaching Global. The floor sale manager said he will call me back. I waited and waited then, I used the long distance number and yes some answer. The person took my information down and said the young lady will call me back. Yes, she called me back and the delivery date was scheduled for Monday, July 5, 2011, but I will get a call back on Friday, July 1, 2011.
I received a voice message on my cellphone that stated there will not be a delivery date on Tuesday, but I can choose any day such as Wednesday through Friday. I called the office back and informed the young lady that I was tired of this back and forth, so the delivery must be a Saturday only without any negotiation. I did not hear from Global for 2 or 3 weeks after that conversation. So I called Raymour and Flanigan , but I was put on hold. So I hung up and called Global directly using the long distance number. I reached someone who told me the young lady was at lunch, but he will tell her I called. I received a call back and the young lady stated she has gotten a Saturday date, July 23, 2011, but she was making sure it was confirmed.
I was informed that I will get a call on Friday, July 22, 2011 on the time of the delivery due to the building I live in has restriction. My son's father received the call and stated it was 3:00 and he informed Global the delivery must be before 4 pm. Now, the actual delivery was noon and I received 60 minutes before the delivery. Global moving men called and then came up stairs without the delivery. The persons came in, inspect the table that supposed to be moved out. I did not understand because an expert conducted the inspection and took picture. The guy stated, before he take this item he must see the damage. I asked my 8 years old son, Sebastian to turn on the light. I told the person, now look down right where he is standing. After that they left and brought the new item. I was bit shown the item beforehand, which would be best. They lift and carry out the old item and brought in the new table top. I sprayed the table and cleaned it off and inspected the item. I found it was damaged in different areas that I counted to be 5 where as the one I had is two, but more visible.
The mover was pushing the paper for me to sign off. I told the mover, I prefer my old table. He had gotten hostile and said no. I told the mover "I do not want this item in my apartment. Please take it out.". I said, I am not signing any document and I am not accepting this item in my home. He left the apartment. I walked after him and I yelled to the other mover who wanted to see the damage that I want him to bring the old table back. The 2nd mover said "what?". As I tell the mover again what I wanted, the 2nd mover stated we have to take this table top back. During this, the 1st mover said leaning on the hallway wall, "Ms. listen, if we bring the table back are you going to ask for another one?". I looked at him and stated, "You are the mover right? Then I do not have to agree to anything. You bring another damage table and expect me to accept. I am sorry, I prefer what I had." It took some time before I got the table removed, but I happened. I have not call either company, because it has been a ride and each time in front of my 8 years old son. Please help.

I purchased a couch and loveseat from Raymour and Flanigan in Wilkes Barre, PA in November 2009. I have had nothing but problems with the furniture it is very poor quality. I have purchased a large amount of furniture from Raymour and Flanigan over the last 6 years including 2 living room sets, kitchen set, and bedroom furniture for 2 bedrooms.
I have had the repairman to my house 2 times for the seams that were splitting, for them to sew it and leave. Then, I had a rip in the leather that was not caused by anyone in my household. They came out in November of 2010. The repairman said that he would order the piece and did so from my house. I waited about 2 months and did not hear anything. I called the Platnium Protection and they stated that the representative did not order the piece and they apologized and said she would call me back. Another 2 months go by and they never called.
My husband called them, and again, they stated that they did not order the piece and they will call back and that the manufacturer's warranty was up, but it was not up when I first called and Raymour decided to cancel and not show up to my house 3 times. They stated that it was still covered because I purchased the protection plan and someone would call back. I don't have any trust in your company that they will call back.
I am forced to tell people not to purchase anything from Raymour and Flanigan because their customer service is horrible. I work for the utility company and speak to people who are purchasing homes and moving every day, and I would not recommend your company to anyone. I will no longer ever purchase furniture from your company. I expect this to be resolved a.s.a.p. or I will contact everyone that I need to - corporate, BBB, Attorney General, and the newspapers. I am not expecting much from this email because of my past experiences but I don't know what else to do. I have furniture that I spent over $3,000 on that looks like it was donated from the salvation army.

I am extremely angry and upset that one of the drivers from the transport company you use has verbally abused my father-in-law. I would like to relay the facts to you below so that you understand the background of events to help enable you to take the necessary action to prevent something like this from ever happening again.
On Friday, October 8, I bought my father-in-law a mattress from your store in Bridgewater to be delivered the next day. On Saturday, the 9th, the mattress failed to arrive. Upon my wife speaking to Kevin the store manager we managed to speak with the owner of the transport company, Vladamir, who happened to be in the store at the time.
Vladamir started the conversation by asking why we had not reminded him that he was supposed to make the delivery! We found it utterly ridiculous. My wife went on to clarify that we had agreed with the store about the delivery date and we did not know of any other company that required the customer to remind the transport company of their duties. My wife stated that we did not feel that the $65 for delivery should still apply due to the time wasted and Vladamir stated that he would deliver the mattress for $40.
On Sunday, October 10, the driver called to confirm delivery and promptly delivered the mattress to my father-in-law’s house; however, at the time of payment he requested $65. When my father-in-law called my wife to clarify what was agreed, he informed the delivery person and paid him $40. The response of the delivery person was to take the $40 and say *** you.
He had left my elderly father-in-law in shock and visibly distressed. As you can imagine, I was livid when I found out and promptly called Kevin at Raymour & Flanigan who kept apologizing and then I called Vladamir.
I spoke to Vladamir for sometime because I could not believe his response. He accused my father-in-law of not hearing properly and that I was not there so how did I know what had been said and then went on to sing his own virtues of doing this delivery job for $40! I pointed out that the $40 was due to his ineptitude and that his lack of professionalism and customer service was self-evident and that I would be taking this matter up with Raymour & Flanigan at which point he changed his tune slightly and told me that it was a new driver he had only used once and that he was sorry.
I have recently moved to the US from the UK and have long been an admirer of your products. Looking at your website I see that you take customer service extremely seriously. I am extremely disappointed that a name such that of yours would use such a poor delivery service, who according to me, are actually an extension of your company and one of the last touch points who on this occasion have turned a great present for my in-laws into a nightmare. I hope and believe that you will take the appropriate actions necessary to ensure that this will not happen again ever. If you should require any further information on this matter, you can contact me on **.

I purchased $4,000 furniture, including sofa, loveseat, easy chair, ottoman, and accent chair on 5/28/2007. One year later, core seat cushion collapsed. Raymour and Flanigan would do nothing but refer us to the manufacturer, HM Richards who sent us two replacement sets of cores over the next two years. Both of those collapsed and finally the manufacturer stated that there was an engineering problem and sent us an adjustment check of $918.00.
Raymour and Flanigan refused to make any adjustment and stated that they had no responsibility since we were "beyond the warrantee period". We explained that this was an ongoing problem since we purchased the furniture, but they would admit to no responsibility.
We feel that Raymour and Flanigan owe us $1,377.00 for the balance of the purchase price plus $110.00 delivery charge and $319.08 sales tax since the manufacturer admitted that there was an engineering flaw and they at least paid us their cost. Total loss was $1,806.08.

In 2007, my husband and I purchased several furniture items from Raymour and Flanigan's store. This complaint is regarding a white leather living room set that includes a chair, ottoman, couch and lounge. We purchased the Platinum Protection plan that is to cover any damage to this furniture. It specifically lists cuts, rips and punctures. It is a 5-year plan that costs several hundred dollars. We were told by the salesman that everything would be covered. However, now that we have called to have some repairs done, it seems that they have changed from covering everything to picking and choosing what they want to cover. Our leather has several scratches/small cuts from everyday use. The technician who came out insisted it was from our declawed cats. I cannot swear in court that it did not come from the cats, but I do think it is unlikely.
Regardless of this, the plan says it covers cuts, rips and punctures, so it should not matter how exactly these cuts happened. I was told by this technician that absolutely no "animal related" damage is covered. However, if you look right on this warranty's website, it lists a story of a "happy customer" who quickly had her damage taken care of that her puppy caused. I find that very odd. Also, you will not find any such disclaimer on there that says that animal related damage is not included. I would simply like my furniture repaired the way it should be, this is why I purchased the warranty in the first place. We spent thousands of dollars on our furniture and are very unhappy with the way we have been treated.

It was observed that the mattress was sinking with indentations, box spring was with insufficient support and it had squeaking noises. Therefore, in November 2009, I attempted to contact Sealy via the telephone and online but instructions are to attempt to resolve the problem with the retailer as a first action. I therefore contacted Raymour & Flanigan who generated a file.
On Dec.1, 2009, a Raymour and Flanigan technician inspected the product. I received a correspondence that reports that the Sely 461050406 matt was authorized to be reselected, reason, "mfg. defect". Appvd: Clk2. I returned to the place of purchase as instructed and was told I could not reselect without paying more money and the price I paid was $2008 and there wasn't any item in that price range. I was also informed that I would have to pay a $75 additional charge for the mattress to be picked up and that was all that could be done. I left the store with no resolution to this issue.

I went in recently to look at a mattress and the sales person suggested a Latex Mattress for my back condition and size. I knew there was a sleep trial, so I said to the sales person that there was no problem. I could return it for a cheaper one if it did not work out. There was no response or explanation which was a non verbal guarantee to my statement. In this case, the cheaper one that I was referring to was a traditional coil spring mattress. Well, the latex one was very bad, so I thought to go back in and get a traditional set. They however said that I needed to buy equal value which to me was a big surprise. So now, I am stuck with another foam mattress that still was not as good for me as a cheaper model.

I purchased some furnishings in February and I requested to pick it up in the warehouses in Delaware; they closed in their boxes because I took my furniture to my home in Florida. I am aware that they don't deliver in Florida and that is the way I decided to pick it up in Delaware. Once I got my furniture all in boxes, when I opened the boxes, some of the furniture came damaged. Now, I'm fighting to get a decent credit for it and they are insulting me by giving me only $1500.
Meanwhile, the total of the furniture was 10,000 dollars and I think that is not fair. The damage is big. First, they gave me a wrong item that doesn't fit in the bedroom. The second is that there is a big crack on the buffet table and a crack on the glass table and the sofabed has another damage on the side. I think that is wrong and I know they are just pretending that nothing had happened. And I persist in that I will return my furniture if I don't get compensated.

representative insisted I keep looking - and brought my attention to other pieces. Once again I was about to leave and he requested I look at one more item. After viewing it I became very interested. We discussed a price of around $2600.00 and I stated that I had a $2000.00 spending budget.
The salesman returned to the manager and came back with a $2450.00 offer. Still a little high but it was to be the price with tax and delivery. I requested that the delivery charge of $150.00 be dropped. He thought about it and then asked if I was ready to buy right then and there. I replied yes. The manager turned around and said, "No" sale. I needed time to come up with the additional funds to meet his price of $2450.00. I called back today, Tuesday, July 28th and stated I would pay the $2450.00 requested. I called and spoke to the sales person by the name of Dean, the same person who negotiated the original price and who was with the sales manager at the time of our conversation.
I mentioned that I would be interested in the purchase. He asked he he could call me back. When he called me back the first time he came back with a price of $2552.00, I believe. I mentioned that this was not the price. He told me he believed me that it was $2450.00. He asked if he could call me back a second time. One he called back he said his manager said the price was $2552.00 or so and that the sale was over. During my original conversation no mention of any sale being over was mentioned. I felt something wasn't right/fair and so I am making a formal complaint towards this company's consumer/ sales honesty and reliability dealings. I do this based on the fact that the price changed on the spur of the moment after a second call. I based this on the fact that after checking on line the delivery cost for my area is $110.00 and not $150.00 as stated. This is an unfortunate series of misrepresentations and dishonesty and no consummer should have to be treated in this manner. I believe you need to say what you mean and mean what you say!

An added note: Two customers met me earlier and were complaining to meet about the customer service they received from this same company. Giving the benefit of the doubt - I put my good faith in the store manager and representative. This, unfortunately, proved to be very
disappointing. Also, if the sale price was over than the original price of merchandise should have been stated - not a blown-up version of a new and unfounded price.

To this day, I am still waiting for our sofa to be fixed. My experience with this company has been a nightmare. The day our furniture was delivered, we noticed problems. A seat for the dining room chair was loose, there were nicks on some furniture, and hardware for our end tables, entertainment set, and buffet were loose as well. However, the biggest problem was a squeaky sofa.
I called the company the first chance I got to express my complaints and to request repairs or exchanges for the defective BRAND NEW furniture. When the technician arrived, he was able to repair most of the problems with the exception of the squeaky sofa and a dining room chair. The dining room chair needed a replacement part which I had to wait for. The technician attempted to repair the sofa but on the same day he left, the other side of the sofa began squeaking. This lead to another call to schedule another appointment.
We didn't schedule another appointment until the part arrived for the dining room chair so that the technician can try to repair both in one visit as opposed to two separate visits. I had requested a different technician because the original technician didn't fix the problem with the sofa. They did NOT send a different technician. The same one came back for the 2nd appointment. He was able to repair the dining room chair but unable to repair the sofa. The rear of the sofa now began to squeak.
At this point I had begun to get frustrated. I made multiple calls to the Oakland Service and Repairs department (201-337-0980) requesting to speak with managers or supervisors. I was usually told that they werent available but I would get a call back. I NEVER received a call back. I finally spoke with a manager (Emilio) by calling in myself to express my frustrations. I requested to have the sofa exchanged. It was a brand new sofa that had already been taken apart twice. He insisted on sending a more experience technician and give them another chance. I declined and insisted on exchanging the sofa. At the end of the conversation, he agreed to exchange the sofa and Id have to wait for yet another appointment. He had also stated that if the sofa was exchanged, I could not longer request repairs for the piece because it will no longer be covered by the plan. I feel this is a ridiculous policy.
On the third appointment (7/31/07), two gentlemen brought in the new sofa. That one squeaked too and it was worse than the sofa I already had. This just goes to show the quality of the furniture theyre selling. I had requested the delivery men to leave the original sofa. I was forced to make another call. I had no other recourse at this point but to call for another service appointment. I spoke to Emilio again. He said this time he will send a more experienced technician to resolve the problem. I had no choice, either take the fourth appointment or live with a squeaky sofa. He pulled some strings to get me the first appointment that day.
On the fourth appointment (8/17/07), they did send another technician and he did arrive first thing in the morning. He also seemed more knowledge and experienced. Unfortunately, he did not have the equipment or means to repair the sofa. He stated that the sofa needs to be taken into their repair facility where they have to proper tools to fix the sofa. Reluctantly, I accepted this answer because ultimately I just want to get it fixed. I received a call from a woman by the name of Applelina to schedule my fifth appointment (8/22/07). This appointment was to have a delivery team pick up our sofa to be repaired. I had expressed to her the ordeal Ive been going through. She understood and told me that she would be requesting an early morning appointment (8am-12pm). My work schedule starts at 12:30pm so I need appointments in the AM hours.
Keep in mind, taking away our sofa is very inconvenient for my wife and me. The company isnt able to tell me how long it will take to fix the sofa. They wont schedule an appointment until the sofa is fixed. So lets say it take 2 days to fix the sofa. Then they call me to schedule an appointment for delivery. If they actually honor the scheduled appointment, I anticipate Ill be without a sofa for nearly a week.
Today (8/20/07), I received a call from a gentlemen from the Delivery department. He told me the appointment is scheduled between 10am-2pm. At that point I was very upset and tried to explain to the gentlemen that this wouldnt work for me. He hung up on me.
Immediately, I called into the Delivery department to speak with a supervisor or manager. Again, I was told none were available. The lady I spoke with, Tammy had advised me that they cannot guarantee any appointment windows and if the appointment didnt work for me, Id have to reschedule. At the end of the conversation, I was forced to reschedule to (8/24/07) but still she could not guarantee me a time frame! Again, she was only able to but in a request. If they actually pick up the sofa and repair it, will I get it back by Labor Day to entertain guests?? I requested the companys corporate number and address. She was only able to provide me with a phone number of 315-453-2500.
I called the number and spoke to Kelly. I told her that I wished to speak with someone on filing a complaint against the company. She transferred me to a lady by the name of Bridgette. I also advised her of my request. She placed me on hold only to hang up on me. I attempted to reach the Oakland Service center and today I only get their voicemail.
I am at my wits end with this company. The way they treat their customers is deplorable. The only persons Ive dealt with that have shown any empathy are Emilio and Applelina. The attitudes Ive received from others have been apathetic. Their website doesnt have a corporate address where you can write letters to complain. Attempts to make complaints by phone are given the runaround with phone transfers. I will never purchase anything from the company again. I will never recommend them either.

They scheduled a technician to come out and see if it could be repaired but they canceled the appointments three times. Went through Christmas and New Year's with a broken chair.
On Jan. 14, they said they would deliver a new chair on Monday, Jan 20. I called to confirm delivery time on Sunday 1/19, and they have no record for a delivery. Two and half months after purchase, we still do not have a complete usable living room set. The manufacturer is Broyhill; but the furniture company is really missing the boat on customer service. Their motto: "The customers do not need us; we need the customers." Yeah, right! I don't know what to do next.
