I spent almost $2,500 for a bed and mattress only and they had to sweep out my headboard and footboard five times. The delivery drivers told me that they have over 100 pieces on the truck and they are only wrapped in blankets; therefore, they will be banged up and scratched upon arrival, which is unacceptable because if I wanted an "as is piece", then I would have brought a floor model piece. Every time I contacted customer service, they apologized and ordered the pieces again. However, the corporate office is rude and has a lack of customer service. I talked to Oyola in the president's office and they offered a non-satisfactory solution. I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with the corporate office. The store sales reps were pleasant and nice, but I won't ever shop at Rooms to Go again until they get better customer service on the corporate side and a better delivery system in place to protect consumers' merchandise!

I purchased a leather living room set. 18 months and the color is fading and stitches are coming out of furniture. Rooms To Go said 1 year warranty, not covered for leather. I called Franklin Furniture and they told me the same. What a cheap and poorly made furniture. I am stuck with this junk for some time now. Do not b this furniture from Rooms To Go. My last furniture lasted me over 15 years.

If you are even considering purchasing anything from Rooms-To-Go, please heed my advice and refrain from shopping with this company. The past 12 months have been a complete nightmare thanks to Rooms-To-Go. Last April, I purchased the Aniston Dining Room Table along with four side chairs and two arms chairs. I spent over $1600. I have had multiple deliveries, and received either broken, damaged, or used furniture. I've been lied to more times than I can count. I have had multiple employees treat my husband and I horribly, going so far as to make fun of us when they thought we weren't paying attention. Now, less than a year later, the furniture I shelled out cash for is falling apart, and it's rarely ever used.
I've made countless calls to customer service, and am always told something different. They have refused to give me my money back. The only option they will give me is to go pick out something of equal or lesser value. I don't want anything else from this company, because I know it will be more substandard furniture, rude deliveries, and stress. This is just a small sampling of the absurdities I've experienced from this company. I've been blogging about my experience with this company.

I bought a dining set table at Rooms To Go in Orange Park, Florida on January 24th, 2012 with one year manufacturer warranty in the seller's contract. The edge of the top of the table started swelling after two months. Then I called the store and they began processing claims for the manufacturing warranty and here is the story. They sent a lady to show up at my house with nothing at her hand (no pen, paper or camera) and guess what? She went out of my house after 15 seconds and gave me the biggest surprise and confused me. I did complain to customer services and they sent a second guy to my house. This time, the guy had a camera and some paper. Today, I got their phone call. They stated themselves that the table had been damaged by water and that it was our fault. They stated that in the manufacturing warranty, there is nothing that covers water damage.
What a shock! Believe me, I did nothing with that table and I felt insulted out of my intelligence, the feeling of being ripped off and having lied to. I told them that your company is a scam and that I already knew because I just read it all over the internet. Whenever you do not want to fix or exchange, then you can just dictate any bad reasons on the head of customers because the money had been in your pocket. I just paid my third payment of two years financing plan. I must admit this is the biggest mistake in my life to have set foot in Rooms To Go to buy a table without researching the company's credibility on the internet first. I recognized it when I saw a lot of people filed complaining about bad customer service, scams and lack of quality in Rooms To Go.
The table set was made in Vietnam and cost $1250. I concluded that the quality of products from Rooms To Go is terrible and their one year manufacturing warranty is garbage. Buyers beware! I will post this to any forums on the internet and websites, wherever customers discuss about the services of Rooms To Go.

The attitudes of the staff and managers, with the exception Destiny, are nonchalant and do not care about the customers. They let it be known with the way they speak and handle customer’s situation.
I have a delivery (Dresser and Mirror) that I am waiting on and I work from 12:30-9pm at night. I was told that if I make my delivery a little further out, it can be delivered 8-12am. Well, it was not delivered before 12 and they did not call to tell me it would be late until 11:55. Then they had a problem with redelivering the merchandise even though it was their fault. The staff is rude and has an “I do not care” attitude. I was able to get in contact with a store rep who resolved the problem finally.

After reading a few of these comments, I'm glad the manager was an ** to me and basically said to either accept their policies or buy my furniture elsewhere. Guess what? I drove down the street and bought another bedroom set we are just as happy with and saved almost $1000 (and got an extra piece of furniture!). Thanks, Ashley Furniture, for having salespeople, who actually care about their customers.

I bought a bedroom set on April 25, 2010. No interest till 2015. I paid my bill every month and in the back of my mind, I wondered why my monthly payment was so high. But I just figured it would be paid off early and I could afford it. So why even bother calling? Well, what do you know, the salesman decided to sign me up for debt security without my permission. I know this because I have been offered this type of wacky insurance in the event I lost my job. I have the same answer every time: “No, thank you.” I think that it is a scam to make more money on the sale. I will never pay for something like this. Take that back. I guess I will because I have for the last two years! It's nothing less than fraud. I am out of $603.00. Thank you so much, Rooms To Go. I will look for the sales contract tonight and if I don't see an initial by this option, I am going to file a small claim and call the news station. I know them well.

After four different times of the furniture being replaced and customer service being awfully rude, I wish I would have read all these complaints before I even set one foot into Rooms To Go. Rooms To Go doesn't want to deal with us after we have signed a contract. We have had our TV stand replaced three times, the last time I had our 3-D brand-new $200 glasses in the drawer and they accidentally went with the stand. Now no one can find them and there is "nothing they can do to help me". I'm without the glasses. I asked them to issue me a gift card to BrandsMart where they sent us to get the TV with a Room To Go gift card. Nope, can't do that. Well they can. They just simply won't. All of us dissatisfied customers are paying their salaries! I feel like taking all this furniture and dropping it off in the front of the store, stop paying my bill, and telling them where to shove it!
I have contacted corporate and ask about filing a claim, they had told me there is no department to file. They don't have a claims department. According to Angela in customer service corp. -when asked about the gift card- there's no gift card they can give me even though they gave me one to get the TV. Never again will I step foot in the store. I would be ashamed to work for this company. I'd rather sleep on the floor, eat on my knees and watch TV at my annoying neighbors or give up TV and sit on the floor, than to buy from this company ever again! Yeah, that bad!

This action needs immediate media attention and investigation. This scheme has hit other cities that Rooms To Go has gotten away with. This has gone viral. Rooms To Go is surprisingly a big ripoff store, who I thought was very legit until I became the next victim. False, misleading advertisement and they are getting away with. I went into the Rooms To Go store at 3256 Peachtree Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 303052416 Phone (404)816-3556, Fax (404) 816-3079 and the customer number 1(800) 766-6786 on a Saturday afternoon, April 3, 2012, and spoke with a female sales associate concerning a sofa bed couch. I was told Rooms To Go were running a sale until that following Monday night, which I had already seen on their commercial advertising. I asked, will they honor that sales price on Tuesday, April 6, 2012? I was told when I come in on that date, ask the sales associate to get the manager to honor the sale price because she would not be there on that date.
So when I came into the Rooms To Go store on April 6, 2012 around 11:00AM, I was greeted by a sales associate by the name **, who goes by the name **. He asked me if I've been help yet and I told him, the other gentleman asked me if I could wait until he finishes up with another customer. So he said the associate will be right with me. As I was getting ready to ask if he could help me, he walked off. As I sit there, ** was itching for the sale, so he came and sit next to me while he was playing on his phone. I stated to him it really didn't matter who helped me, I just needed some help in purchasing the sleeper sofa that I had seen on that Saturday evening. He asked me which one was it that I wanted and I pointed out the one on the sale floor. He wrote the SKU number of the sleeper sofa and asked me to come to the computer with him while he finds a date for delivery.
I then said to him, "Wait, is this sleeper sofa still at the sales price of $399.99?" He stated to me to pick up the flyer on the table in front of the sleeper sofa and tell him what the price says. I told him it says $399.99 and he said okay then, let's get you a delivery date and make the payment. I said, "sure, let's do this". As we were walking to his computer, I asked "Did the pillows come with it?" and he said "Everything that you see comes with it." I told him it was for my mother, so when her grandchildren come over, they will have somewhere to sleep on the sleeper sofa. He said, "of course".
I paid cash of $399.99 plus $64.99 for a delivery charge, subtotal $464.98 then an 8% sales tax of $37.20, totaling $502.18. I was asked, "did I want the scotch guard for an additional charge?". I told him no because I'm already over my budget, then the manager walked up to me by the name ** and asked me, did I want the scotch guard protection? She wasn't trying to undermine Mr. **, but it would be good to have. I told her no, I was over my budget. I paid my money, got my receipt from **, the sales associate. I then received my delivery date for Thursday, April 6, 2012 and to stay around the house all day because they don't call nor do they give a time. I told him I will be there all day, me and my mother, to receive her sleeper sofa.
The deliver guys delivered the sofa that was really wrap real good and I thought wow, nice and wrapped real good. As they unwrap the sleeper sofa, everything looked good. I then received a call from a Rooms To Go customer service asking how everything was. I told her everything looks good. On Friday, April 7, 2012, I removed the pillows from the couch so the two children can sleep and then I discovered it was only a couch, not a sleeper sofa. I immediately got on the phone and called the store and this female answered the phone. I was so upset and she was telling me she was the only one in the office and she didn't know what to do, but she would try and work out something. She then asked for my number, so I gave her my number and asked to speak to a floor manager. I was then told the manager was busy and she would call me back.
As I waited, I called the Rooms To Go corporate headquarters at 11540 US Highway 92 East Tampa, FL 33602 (813)623-5400 and spoke to a female by the name **. I then explained to her what the problem was and she stated to me, I needed to call the store back where I purchased the sofa and ask to speak to a floor manager and not someone in the office. Before I could call the store back, my phone was ringing and it was **, the sales associate. He asked me what was the problem that I was having and as I explained to him that they delivered the wrong sofa, he said "no, they didn't and if I had common sense, I would have known that $399.99 can't buy a sleeper sofa". I said excuse me, then he went on to say I sounded like some uneducated person.
I asked, "did he or did he not show me the sleeper sofa that I was wanting to purchase on the show room floor?". He said "yes, I did show you the sleeper sofa and yes, I did say the pillows come with it. But common sense should have told me different". He was rude and that was unacceptable. I then stated to him, "I'm very education and have great common sense" and I didn't appreciate how he was talking to me. I then told him, I have been misled by the sale price of something I did not purchase. He told me, "Next time, use common sense." I asked him, why was I deceived with false advertisement? I then hung the phone up and called corporate headquarters again in Florida and spoke to a gentleman by the name Chad. He told me he seen the notes from when I first called in and he then apologized to me for **'s action.
He said he would have a corporate manager to call me back, which I have not heard right until this day. I then called back to speak to a manager at the Rooms To Go where I purchased the sofa and spoke to Mrs. **. She told me ** was wrong for talking to me like that and she was going to talk to him about his conduct because that's not acceptable. Then she told me, she was sorry for the misunderstanding about the price difference but if I could pay her an extra $200.00, she would take off the delivery charge and swap out the sofa that they don't normally take back, but she would do that for me. I told her that's not acceptable and I was really disappointed. She then told me, she would talk to someone about this and she would get back to me the next day, which was on a Saturday around 12:30PM.
She did call and told me she had spoke to several managers and they told her no, so her hands were tied behind her back and she was not going to swap out the sofa and please, when I stop by, ask for her. I laughed and hung the phone up. Something has got to be done about how this store has misled people with false, misleading advertisement and high five-ing each other with giggles. This was literally pandered to ignorance on **'s part. His action was not appropriate.
I noticed there are a lot of people complaining about RTG. Can we not get together? Write letters? Is there anything we can do? Seems to me RTG is taking advantage of people. Are there any laws that can protect us?

On 2/10/2012, I purchased a living room furniture from Rooms To Go. When the furniture was delivered, it was the wrong color and the tables were incorrect. The tables were incorrect, because the sales rep put the wrong codes in while we're making the purchase. We were also told that the color we purchased does not exist. We were told to reselect. But there is nothing else that we like. Furthermore, we are being dealt with as if Rooms To Go is the victim in this scenario. We are very disgruntled. All we need is our money back and Rooms To Go to take their furniture from our home.

Rooms To Go delivered the furniture almost one month now on a Monday. The bed was damaged, but the delivery driver said to go ahead and accept it. They would mark it as damaged and they would have Rooms To Go contact me to replace it. Well, since it was the foot of the bed, I figured it was an easy exchange. After a week went by, I made contact. They could not do any delivery on a Monday as I requested because damaged furniture only goes out on Tuesday, etc., but they would see what they could do and call me back. I never heard from them. I made several phone calls. After going back and fourth with them, I finally had to take a day off to have it delivered during the week (I travel for my job, going Tuesday through Friday).
Guess what? The replacement was damaged as well. Same procedure: the driver said they would make contact. Still nothing and still a damaged bed! I told them at this point I do not want their furniture. They said tough! They do not do refunds on delivered goods! So beware: if the furniture is damaged, do not accept it. This is the worst service I have ever encountered. This is the first and last time I’m using this company!

I moved from the original address where I purchased the couch. After I had already moved, I had a service technician come to my new address (this was not the address where my couch was originally delivered) and fix my couch. The center cushion was sucked in. The first time, he was able to fix it. The second time, the technician came out to fix; it was yesterday, Friday, March 30, 2012. When he came out, he cleaned my couch and fixed a cushion. However, the couch is sucked in and this did not fix it.
There is a structural defect that needs to be addressed, but I am now learning that the warranty is void since I moved from where the couch was originally delivered. So, I understand that my move voided the structural warranty. However, I also bought a warranty that was to be used for any food stains on my couch. A steak was dropped on my couch and left a small blood stain. However, the technician was able to remove that stain when he came yesterday.
So as of today, there are no stains on my couch. I told sales at the store of this incident. Apparently, he put in the notes that it was a blood stain and now customer service says the warranty is void. However, this was not a human blood stain. The blood stain was from a raw steak that my dog had snatch off the grill and dropped on the couch. It has since been removed by the technician that came to my home.
Now, customer service is stating that my cleaning warranty is void since there was a blood stain on my couch as the warranty only covers food stains. Well, the blood was from food, specifically a steak blood stain, which was removed when the technician came yesterday. Now, customer service is refusing to speak to me stating that since the stain was blood my warranty is void.
That is ridiculous. It was a blood stain from a steak which is food! And now there are no stains at all! Well, there are no stains on my couch now. They were removed. Additionally, the blood was from a steak that was dropped on the couch from my dog when we were barbequing. This is food! However, customer service will not listen or talk at all about this.
I am shocked that a company that claims such honesty and integrity will be so frivolous and creative in ideas to come up with to void a customer’s warranty. Since the blood stain came from a steak and was removed how does this void my warranty? I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this.

We purchased a sofa, love seat and recliner from the store on 2121 Okeechobee Blvd. on 3/13/11. We found a dark mark across top of the recliner that is a straight line on the fabric. We called to file a complaint on 3/07/12, which was still under the one year warranty time. A man came from the store, looked at the furniture and said he would make a report on the mark. On 3/17/12, a second man came out and tried to clean the marks, but said to us he thought that the marks looked like the furniture was treated then wrapped or taped for shipment before the furniture had dried. They are telling us now that they will not stand behind their warranty.

I recently purchased a mattress set and pillow from the location in The Woodlands, TX. Total invoice was over $1,800.00 and I paid with my debit card. The price of the pillow was $80.00. The pillow I was shown in the store was soft and felt great. The pillow they delivered along with the bed was hard and lumpy. I used it one night and woke up with the worst crick in my neck I have ever had. Keep in mind that no one ever mentioned anything about a return policy and I mistakenly assumed that if you are not satisfied with your purchase, just return. I and my husband returned to the store with the pillow and the woman behind the desk tells me very rudely you can not return anything there.
I looked at her in disbelief and she said they have a no-return policy. I thought this was crazy. This is America. If you spend $80.00 on a pillow that is not the same pillow I was shown in the store, it could be returned. I asked for the manager and am told he is busy. I said I will wait and am told it will be a while. Then finally this slick salesman appears and says that those pillows need 30 to 90 days to get worked in before they are usable, tells us we can jump on it or whatever to loosen up the material inside. I asked him if I am supposed to purchase a pillow and wait up to 3 months to be able to use it. He smiles and says possibly, but no returns. He tells me that we couldn't expect him to sell it after I used it one night. I told him that's crazy. They should send it back to the manufacturer because it’s defective. This place is a hoax. They are crooked and they know it and that's why they won't take anything back. I project that they will be in bankruptcy within a year!

I was told RTG would call me to confirm two days before the delivery. They said they left a message. I guess this is their way of confirming their hours of delivery and of course, we had no idea they were coming in the morning. When they showed up, we were not home so the driver called while I was working and tells me he would return in two hours. My husband leaves work and hurries home. They called again and said they were not going to deliver our furniture and they would return the next day. I later get a third call to inform me I was not going to receive my furniture until Monday of the following week.
I called their customer service number and a Claudia answered. She refuses to give me her supervisor's name and after a few words, she transferred the call to a Rosie who states she is the manger. Rosie was worse then Claudia. She said there was nothing she can do and that she had no supervisor over her and that she was corporate. I said, "Are you also the CEO of the company?" And she said yes. She has no professional skills and no manners at all. I hope these two girls are looked into. At this point, I have no idea where my furniture is or when I am going to receive it.

In June 2010, my mother purchased the Alegra dinette set with two leg chairs and two caster chairs. It is bronzed metal with a marble top and upholstered seats on the chairs. She also purchased power reclining chair and power reclining sofa. The day of delivery, we saw a huge scuff across the bottom of the footrest on the reclining chair. We called less than an hour after delivery and they arranged for a technician to come look at the chair. It was replaced a week or so later. We noticed later that when viewing the new chair directly from the front, the whole frame leaned to one side. Again, a technician was sent out and the chair was replaced.
One of the arms had poor stitching that made the leather pucker, but my mother didn't want to go through the process again. Within two weeks after purchase, two of the caster wheels on the dining chairs came apart and the bearings were rolling all over the floor. We called customer service and they said a technician would come out in two weeks. We told them that 2 weeks was not okay and called the store. The store manager was kind enough to replace them with 2 leg chairs since the caster chairs were discontinued. We should have asked for a refund then, but my mother loved the bronzed metal finish and marble top and wanted to keep the set.
February of 2012, my mother sat on one of the chairs and noticed it rocked quite a bit. She moved the chair to a different spot, but it still rocked. When she looked at the legs, she noticed one of the front legs was angling out. Thinking maybe screws were loose, we turned the chair over and looked at where the leg was attached. No screws were loose, but we noticed that the legs were attached by two sections of half inch soldering to a metal plate that was screwed into the chair frame. We set the chair aside with the intention of calling customer service the next day. Since my mother had been working on estate matters after my father's passing, she didn't get a chance to call right away.
About a week later, she sat in one of the other chairs and the same thing happened. But the chair tilted forward even further than the other one. This time, when she grasped the chair leg to turn it over and look at the bottom, the leg just came off. I started my call to customer service with, "We purchased this set a year and eight months ago" and was told that they couldn't help before she even heard me out about the problem. I didn't press matters having dealt with their customer service before. I took my mother back to the store where she bought it and asked the store manager to call for us. I took pictures and wanted her to see what was happening with the chairs, so she could better understand what to convey to customer service.
She called a couple of days later and said she got an exchange approved; that they would credit back a certain amount less the original delivery fee; and that we would have to pay delivery again. After visiting the store a few times and not finding anything suitable for replacement, we went to another one of their locations to see if they had something different. My mother found a nice set to replace it, which was about $68 more than the credit we had. We were told the delivery was $69.99. Even with local tax, the exchange should have been less than $150. Her bill, after it was all calculated, came to $241. We told them she didn't need the fabric protection since there were no small children in the house and asked why the delivery charge was now $74.98.
The manager came out and said that since we got fabric protection on the previous set and they were crediting that amount back as well, we had to take the credit for it and had to apply fabric protection to the new set. We never got an explanation for the increase in the delivery fee. They deducted so many miscellaneous amounts from the original bill that my mother was still going to have to pay a difference that amounted to what we estimate to be the wholesale cost of the new set. RTG was going to recoup the cost of the new set one way or another. We refused to pay that much difference and the manager said that the company didn't have to replace or refund anything after the one year warranty, but we should be glad that they are.
He also said that my mother should have noticed any issues with the chairs during the first year because something caused the legs to weaken. Common sense dictates that if there was an issue within the first year, beyond the casters falling apart, she would have noticed and said something before the year was up. My parents were empty nesters and my father stayed in his wheelchair while at the table. She used it more than any of us, but she weighs about 100lbs soaking wet and is less than five feet tall. She is not hard on furniture. What it boils down to is they sold a defective product; probably knew it since they discontinued and it.
While it hasn't been in stores for a year or so, it was still on the website a week ago. We noted today and it is also removed from the website. My mother is a widow who lived alone for the last 3 months. Had that chair collapsed while she was in it and no one was around, I would hate to think what would have happened if she was injured. We have yet to resolve the matter, but I will keep pushing on my mother's behalf.

We only shopped here for a living room sofa/loveseat and a few other items. I do not like their customer service. They don't explain anything to you, but are quick to take your money. When problems arise, they don't want to give it back to you, which has happened to us. We purchased a picture today and noticed there were some scratches and knicks on it. I told them to call the manager and they would have to give me a new one or take something off of that particular picture. He said if I wanted another picture, they would have to order it and it would not be in until Tuesday. That is unacceptable. He then stated, I can give you 10% off the purchase and walked away. I didn't know where he went, but he came back about 10 minutes later and said I'll mail that back to you in a check. I stated I just paid you less than 30 minutes ago "in cash", so why can't you give it back to me in cash?
That's their company policy. I said then you need to get your stories straight; but your other manager told me last week that if you pay cash and need reimbursement, as long as it is within the same day, you get your cash back. Apparently, this is not the case. I have never seen or heard of anything like this. You purchase something and as big as the warehouse is (and it's probably there in stock) and they will not give it to you. As high as the price of gas is, they expect you to continue driving back and forth wasting your time, energy and gas to come pick up items that should be readily available. My husband and I will never purchase from Rooms To Go. We have enough friends and family within the home improvement business and construction to let them know as well. Lesson learned: do not shop at this store! We are new to the area and don't typically shop at stores like this, but will never do it again.
They are not customer-focused. They are money driven. That's it, that's all. My daughter just left the emergency room from being ill and I explained that to them. I can not keep coming back and forth with her to pick up something that is already in stock. I am beyond irritated at this point. It's funny, when I purchased the item, I overhead a manager commenting on an irate customer on Facebook. I'm glad he said that because now I know where to go to let others know as well.

I recently went to Rooms to Go approximately January 13th to look to find me a brown leather recliner. I had help from a saleslady which helped my find what I was looking for. I went through a program call the RAC Acceptance, where I had to put a deposit of $173.73 and fill out an application, give references etc. Approximately 3 to 4 days later, Rooms to Go (RAC Acceptance) called stating I didn't have all of my paperwork done and my shipment date would be change. So not wanting to deal with all the hassle, I decided to cancel my order and get my refund. The sales clerk said it would be okay to come in. It would be no problem! Upon arriving, I spoke with Mr. **. First, they didn't have anything stating I had even purchased the chair there. After careful conversation and my proof of purchase, they looked but at that time couldn't submit my refund. It was first come back then they would mail it then corporate office would cut me a check and then give them my credit card # and they will credit it to my account. After all this and I still don't have my money nor have I ever had the chair in my possession ever! All I want is my $173.73.

I purchased a mattress on 8-8-08 that was a floor model. Me and my spouse were told that they were just making room for new models and that the mattress still had a warranty on it. Now that we need to file a claim, we were told that we would have to contact Simmons directly and that Rooms To Go doesn't do claims for floor models and on items that are not delivered. I contacted Simmons and they don't warranty floor models. Of course, the saleswoman is gone. We now have a mattress that we cannot use and no one wants to warranty it.

My dining room furniture was damaged twice. Orders have been placed twice since Feb. 20, 2012 and still they can’t get the table to me undamaged. This is the first and last time I will be dealing with RTG. Customer service is horrible and making sure customer comes first is terrible. You can never speak with a supervisor on any issues that you’re having and customer service is never helpful at all.

I am extremely upset and disappointed in the services I received from Rooms To Go. I canceled everything I had today, because I was given a delivery date of today, March 7, 2012. I received a confirmation voice mail which stated that the delivery time would be between 1-5PM. I called later in the afternoon, only to be told that they were running late and that they would be by 8PM.
9-930PM (yes, late at night!) rolled around, and the driver gave me some ** excuse that they would be here in 10 minutes because they were at the gate. An hour later, no one showed up. One of the guys called my husband and said that one of the guys supposedly didn't have his ID so he couldn't get in and that it would take 2 hours for one guy to set everything up. By the time he gets it done, it would be midnight! This was already 10PM by this point.
We have two little children (I also made the people aware of this when I spoke to them in the afternoon twice.), and my husband had to get up by 5am for work. Well, an hour later, still nothing. So we just cancelled it. When I placed the order and spoke with the representatives on the phone, I instructed them to have the drivers bring their ID and show them at the gate. They were made aware that we lived on a military base.
After waiting all day and way past 8 PM, I called the customer service delivery phone number again, and I was told they can't do anything about it. I was told nothing could be done about it and that we had to reschedule. Now we have to call another number to reschedule delivery which may take another month or more, depending on their schedule.
We bought so many items from Rooms To Go: bedroom set, media console, 2 kid's beds and mattresses, dresser and mirror. I am sorry to say I will not be ordering from Rooms To Go again because of this experience. I also am considering canceling these items and going elsewhere. I am extremely angry because of the runaround and their lack of regard for our time and money. We also already took away all the old stuff to make room for this delivery. Now our kids would be sleeping on the floor until we get this delivery, which may take several more days or more! Please be leary of Rooms To Go. The items seem great, but delivery is way below standard!

I bought a bedroom package from Rooms to Go last Monday. They were to deliver it this Saturday. We get a call at 5:00 on Friday and the truck was at my house wanting to deliver the furniture. We told them no one was home and to come back the next day and deliver it like it was supposed to be. I called the sales person at the store, Tyler **, and told him we were still at work and what had happened. In an effort to cover his mistake, he tried to say that my husband had called to reschedule the delivery. This was a total lie! I was shocked how unprofessional and uncaring he was. Then I talked with his manager and they said there must have been a problem between the sales person and the corporate office and they could not do anything until the order came back up in the computer which would take at least 48 hours.
In the meantime, we are sleeping on the couch. On Saturday morning, I called customer service and she gave me the same "Our hands our tied and we can not do anything" mantra that I got from everyone else. If the company I worked for had this attitude with our customers, we would not be in business for very long. There was no apology or an effort to try and make it right. Finally, I told them they could keep their furniture and I will go somewhere else. It looks like Rooms to Go has gotten so big they don't need my $2,000.

After a furniture delivery (sectional sofa) was delivered wrapped and boxed, the sofa was damaged and ripped. I called in to report it, the customer support person (Melissa) said I told her that I ripped it, when I simply did not say it. It took 2 weeks for someone to come and investigate. Rooms To Go has customer files that have remarks on them that are determined simply by the mood or discretion of the customer support person. That characterizes and profiles customers.

I am very dissatisfied with my recent RTG purchase. I purchased the Paloma Bedroom Set and Mattress on February 12, 2012 from the local RTG store in Nashville, TN and it was delivered on February 28. They delivered according to schedule (7-11am time frame, delivered at 7:15am).
However, the furniture was not put together correctly. The finished the installation in about 10mins and I questioned the quickness of the installation. They also stated that they left the electric drill at home and had to use my handheld screwdriver. Everything looked nice and put together correctly and I did not think there would be issues. When I got home from work, I put brand new sheets and the comforter set on the bed and ready to lay in my brand new bed. When I got in the bed and laid on it...it fell completely to the floor.
I looked under the bed and the slats were laying on the floor and the box spring was punctured. As I lifted the mattress and box spring up, the rest of the frame fell apart. I only weigh 150lbs and have never had a bed fall apart. I proceeded to inspect the other pieces of furniture and noticed that the dresser was very wobbly, the knobs were not screwed on correctly, and my headboard was scratched. I was furious. I tried calling Customer Service, but they were closed (6.00pm), really? I ended up having to sleep on the couch!
I called Customer Service the very next day and informed them what happened. They were not rude, but really didn't care either. They told me I would have to be contacted by the Service Department. When service called me, they said they could get someone out in three days. I find it hard to believe that they screwed up and think I am supposed to wait 3 days for them to come back. After I told her I was not sleeping on the couch another night, she said she would try to get someone ASAP.
My previous furniture came from IKEA and I never had any issues with it in the 6 years I had it. Hopefully when RTG will come back and fix my furniture on my schedule and I will not have any further issues. I am still waiting on the return call. Since this was my first furniture purchase from them, it will probably be the last.

On February 2, 2012, I made my third recent purchase from Rooms To Go, the Willow Chase location, Houston, Texas. The purchase at issue involved my last and final purchase from this location, a love seat and couch that is scheduled for delivery on Saturday, 02/11/12. After reconsidering my purchase, I went to the store to inquire about making a return.
After approaching the customer service desk, I informed the clerk of my desire to cancel my order. The clerk contacted the manager. The manager, Colin **, looked up my purchase and says that it is "definitely 20%" and he comes out of the office with noticed hostility and introduces himself as the manager. He explains that since my purchase was after 48 hours, there is a cancellation fee of 20%. He proceeds to tell me that I can get store credit for this amount.
I responded that the amount seemed a little excessive, and I told him I wasn't aware of this policy. He says that this policy "doesn't have to be in writing and we don't even have to tell you." I politely asked for reconsideration given that I had yet to receive the furniture. Although I remained calm in discussing this with him, Mr. ** responded by rudely and defensively saying, "It is out of my hands and frankly, I don't want to lose my job." He also says, "Feel free to call corporate."
Impatient and agitated, he abruptly says, "We gave you an option." When I asked if there was another manager, he says he was the one. I cannot stress enough how extremely rude and short he was. While I'm talking to him, he abruptly responds and say, "Frankly, at this moment, I don't care and I want you out of here." I said, "I am a consumer." He gives me his business card and says, "Here is my card and here is my address. Call corporate but frankly, I don't want you in my store."
I told him, "You don't care that I am a consumer? You don't care about the situation?" He says, "Frankly? No. I just want you out of the store or I will call the police," and he walked off. Other customers in the customer service area started talking with me. I was in shock and in disbelief. One of the customers said, "I am witness to the whole thing," and gives me her name and number. She then informs customer service that she wanted to cancel her order because she did not want to have similar problems.
Other customers also voiced their disbelief at how I was treated and said that they didn't want to be treated the same way. The manager comes back over and says, "Sir, I don't care about your issues. I don't care about your problems. I want you out of the store. The police are on their way." I told him I was leaving and as I was walking out, I saw the sales person who sold me the furniture. And so I told her about what happened and how I felt very belittled and insulted by her inconsiderate manager who asked me to leave the store.
While talking with her, the manager quickly comes over and just glared at the sales representative. She just said, "I can't say anything because my boss is here and whatever he says, I have to abide by that." I exited the store and waited until the police arrived. When the police arrived, I approached the officer and discussed the matter and told him what happened. The police officer politely explained that it is the manager's store and he said he has a right to ask anyone to leave and if they don't, it is a trespassing charge.
I have never had to have the police called on me and I feel incensed that after spending several thousand dollars in this store already, that I have to be addressed like a common criminal. To have the police called because I am asking questions about the Rooms To Go policy is bad customer service. I can understand if I was making a scene, yelling, destroying property, cursing at employees, etc., but to be mistreated simply because I have questions regarding a bill is simply bad business.

It arrived the morning of Tuesday, February 14, 2012, defective. The bed was unable to be completely put together, so I was told to contact customer service at 1-800-766-6786. Upon contacting them, I was told the delivery company would be contacted to see how to remedy this situation, and someone would come out to my home to finish putting the bed together. No one got back to me, so my daughter had to sleep on the floor last night! On Wednesday, February 15, 2012, I contacted the customer service department, stating the bed was still in pieces, and I need this resolved. I was then told they would send a technician out to fix the bed.
Upon arrival of the technician, he stated he could not fix the bed, as it was defective, and a new piece needed to be ordered. I contacted the customer service again, with the technician still here, and was told they would see what could be done, and would call me back. Upon not receiving a call, I called back again, and was told they could order the part, but it would take until February 25, 2012, before it would arrive. I stated, at this point, I simply want this defective merchandise removed from my home, and a full credit for the purchase issued back to me!
I was then told customer service could not do this, and that I needed to contact the store for the return, and a full refund. Upon contacting the store, and speaking with the salesperson, she stated she could not authorize the return, without the manager's approval. She advised she would get with the store manager, and someone would get back with me. I did not receive a return call, so I called the store back, and asked for the store manager, whom I was told I could not speak with, as he was in a meeting, and they did not know when he would be available. I finally received a call back from the store manager, who told me I needed to contact customer service for the refund, and that they don't handle that in the store. They simply handle the sale of items, then it's out of their hands! When I informed him I already contacted customer service, and they advised me they could not handle the refund, that the store has to take care of this. He then stated I was misinformed, and need to call customer service back. When I became persistent that they referred me to the store, he then stated they have a no return policy.
He then handed me off to a general manager, who did not give me his name, who then advised me of the same no return policy. When I asked him to let me come in, so he can show me where their store notifies customers of this policy, that as a consumer I have the right to request this information, he stated it should be on the back of my receipt, and that if I want to dispute it, I can call the corporate office, which is customer service, by the way, and speak with their attorneys. At the back of the receipt, it states, "Refund Policy". No refunds are available, and sales cannot be cancelled, after the merchandise has been delivered in good condition. Obviously, the merchandise was not in good condition, as it could not be put together for my daughter to sleep on!
It further states, "we warrant that the merchandise you purchase from us will be free from defects in material and workmanship, for a period of one year from the date of delivery. If the furnishings we sell you do not meet the warranty, or any other warranties expressed or implied, we will, wither refund you the purchase price, in exchange for return of the merchandise, or repair or replace the non-confirming merchandise".
I am tired of dealing with this store, and their 800 number customer service. I am simply wanting them to come pick up this bedroom set, and refund me in full. Nothing has been done to remedy this situation! My daughter has slept on the floor for the last 3 nights, and probably will have to again, tonight!

On January 22, 2012, I went to the new Asheville RTG location, and found a new bedroom suite. I purchased and paid in full. The delivery was set up for 2-7-12, they called 3 times to verify that I'd be home between 11 and 3. After 3 PM, I called RTG, and asked where the driver was. They informed me that the driver had another stop to make, before coming to my home. I ask why no one called to let me know this. They stated that in the fine print, that they didn't have to be there in that time frame.
When the driver finally arrived, and I asked why they were late, he called his office, and didn't want to deliver. After 30 minutes or so, he came back to my door, and ask if I wanted my delivery, When they started bringing in the furniture, I told them that it was the wrong color, I called the corporate office in Sefner, Florida, and the lassie there was rude from the very start. She told me that there would be a slight color difference in the furniture. I told her it wasn't even in the same color line. She argued with me, and then said she'd look it up and see if it did come in another color.
Finally, she said yes it did, and to go ahead and accept this furniture, and they would come back and swap out for the correct. I told her no way I was going to sign for this. She said she would call me back in a few minutes, and let me know what else she could do. She called back in about 30 minutes to tell me that the bedroom suite I ordered was discontinued. I asked for a refund, and since I paid in cash, I wanted a check ASAP. Today, they called late in the day, to tell me that they are cutting me a check on Friday, and mailing it out.
I am giving you the short version of this conversation. This whole ordeal was very drawn out. The people at RTG are rude and unprofessional. I own a business in Asheville, and if any of my employees are rude with customers, I would fire them on the spot, no questions. I am telling everyone that comes in about my experience with RTG, and how we will never do business with them again. I went to Haverty's in Asheville, and purchased a new bedroom suite that will be delivered on Friday within a 2 hour time frame. They have better quality, better service, and a professional staff. Way to go, RTG. What a way to start off in Asheville, NC. I hope others read about the numerous complaints about RTG, and figure out for themselves, not to do business there and go somewhere else, and save the hassle.

It only states what size of TV it covers. Everyone knows that no matter what size TV you get, it can come with a variety of features. So the price could be a few 100s into the 1000s. Well, my delivery was scheduled for December 28th, 2011. Morning delivery. A week prior I received my Best Buy card. As it states it is not activated until after 5 days from delivery. Well, I finally got my delivery at 6 pm. The first thing I was asked by the delivery guy was did I order two beds? I said no, just one with a mattress cover. He told me Rooms To Go was bad about doing things like that. He then asked me how many gift cards I got. I replied one. Approximately 3 weeks later I get an email from GE Credit saying I can set up my online account. I do it only to find that I have still been charged for both beds.
Anyone in their right mind would think a company that had 3 weeks to get and account straightened out would be able to do so. Nope, not them. I am still battling. I also had the misfortune of speaking to Michelle. Now I have been in customer service for 30 years and she does not qualify for that position. Rude and she does not want to listen to a word you say. To top it off, not only did I wait the 5 days they say it will take for your card to be active but I did not use mine until 1/18/12. Now they are saying they gave me too much credit on the card and are going to charge me the difference. Why should I think the amount is wrong when they had the returned bed 12/28/11 and on 1/18/12 the records have not been corrected? How am I supposed to know they had not done their job? How is that my responsibility? It's their negligence, not mine! I will never buy from them again!

They said that I refused to answer the door. They never came to my door.
When they finally arrived, they did not bring the bunkie board for the bed to be put on (in place of the box spring) and wanted me to accept a mattress that I could not trust was the correct one without it being in place on the bed frame. They took the mattress back and told me they would not go back and get the missing parts and would not redeliver. I decided to cancel my order and wanted my money refunded. They told me they could not do this while my mattress was still in delivery status but they refused to redeliver.
I went to the store and the manager, Marc, refused to return the money to my card and I would have to wait until corporate takes care of it. Then the manager went on to blame me for the delivery problems. I will never shop at any Rooms To Go. The customer should never be blamed for the incompetency of its own company.

My wife and I have been married about six months. We had furnished most of our house using other companies and had not had a problem. My wife visited Rooms To Go and found a sectional that she really liked. The salesman tried to force her to buy it without going home and discussing it with me. We returned the next day were I ended up finding another sectional that we wanted.
The salesman told us this was a great choice since "leather" would hold up better than cloth. He insisted we get the leather protection because if something was to tear in the future, the manager would be more willing to help us out. He also said the manager would not charge us warranty for a matching ottoman if we bought it in the future. He told me the leather product that could they provided at no cost would be expensive if you could buy it anywhere (Forcefield Leather Cleaner and Conditioner).
We made the purchase. We had $100 off coupon that expired that day but didn't feel great about it. I did some research on the Rooms To Go website and found that actually the couch was blended leather on the sitting surface. The leather product was $1.99 a bottle and the manufacturer did not recommend it on anything that was not genuine leather. I contacted their customer service the next day since you have 48 hours from purchase for a full refund.
Customer service said that it could not be cancelled by them. I needed to contact the showroom. They provided the number and I instructed someone at the local showroom that I needed my order cancelled. She asked who my salesman was and that she would take my number and call me back since their computer system was down (convenient that it was down when I called).
I gave them one hour to call but never received a call back. I went down to the store to find their system was working. I spoke to the manager who at first tried to disagree that the product would work for the couch and that I was buying the warranty not the $1.99 bottles of product. I went on to explain that I know that the product was not recommended for this non-leather sectional. He still never agreed with me that the only part blended leather was the sitting service even though his website stated, "Notes: 55% Polyurethane, 16% Leather, 29% Poly/Cotton where the body touches. All else vinyl."
He admitted that they made a mistake and that I should not have been told it was leather and that I should have had fabric protection and not leather protection even though he assisted in the sale the day before. I heard him go into the office and tell the person in the office to make sure he gets all of his money. Why would I not get all of my money? It was only 24 hours since the purchase? Their policy states 48 hours to make a return for full refund.

We purchased a leather sectional about 5 years a ago. Within a section right off the bat because the delivered two sections that did not match. RTG first response was rude and not willing to do anything about it. I finally got satisfaction and the section replaced. We chose leather because of the fact that we have kids and it is more durable. We wanted something that would last a long time so we spent the extra money for leather. Unfortunately should have purchased it somewhere other than RTG! We have since had to have places repaired due to the leather cracking and splitting.
In under five years, the leather is peeling and cracking. We also purchased the " protection plan" which we were led to believe was an extended warranty. Turns out all it included was leather conditioner which apparently does not work. After reading the number of complaints about RTG, it surprises me that this company is still in business. The complaints are all about poor quality and deceptive trade practices. I am going to make it a point to tell everyone I know to stay clear of RTG! I would hate to know anymore hardworking people are throwing their money away on the trash this company is claiming to be quality furniture!

Additionally, this living room set was to come with a 51" Samsung Plasma TV on a Best Buy gift card. In advance of the furniture being delivered we went to Best Buy only to be informed the TV offered as a free gift was no longer an item stocked by Best Buy. The free TV offer was a deciding factor in purchasing additional furniture with the package so we could obtain a new TV for our family room. This seems like deceptive trade practices, since the offer does not actually provide for a TV, especially not the TV offered.

The thing is Rooms to Go treats customers like nothing, because I made a payment already. I really want people to be aware of Rooms to Go's service. Do not believe what they say. Also, 51 inch 3D TV is a very bad deal. The TV only costs $599.99 right now. If you buy this package, you end up paying $240 more than just buying a 51 inch regular TV package. Rooms to Go ruined my holiday, I don't want this happen again to someone else when I shared the experience here.

My 2 year old sec. sofa the leather color is coming off. I bought furniture from RTG since they opened and every time something is broken, ripped, color wear, this furniture is really throw away furniture after 4-5 years (it's not cheap). I fall into the 4-5 year financing trap then the furniture has to be replaced. I wish I had cash for furniture. I would not shop at RTG at all. It looks good but it's cheap, very cheap and falls apart. Never again will I stress about their garbage. I'm not going there again.

Rooms To Go Corporation promotes on their website HDTV Living Room Package advertisements that purposely do not disclose the complete details of the package in order to deceive customers into believing they are getting more than what Rooms to Go is offering. They advertise in this package a 51" Plasma Samsung TV 600 Hz but don't disclose the resolution of the Plasma TV until days after the purchase is made. What they offer is a gift card balance of $555.00 to purchase a 720P Samsung Plasma TV, the lowest resolution on the market instead of the standard Full HD 1080P preferred and commonly used since the mid 2000's. They expect the customer to inquire about the details when they could easily list the complete details on their website.
They also vaguely list what they are providing on a sheet which is mailed to the customer days later. This sheet lists 4 TV options which 3 of them don't relate at all to the advertisement on their site. Rooms to Go is banking on the customer to not contact them about the TV details until the Best Buy gift card balance is available online 4 to 5 days later which is then too late to cancel your order. They are purposely deceiving customers by not providing the full details before the purchase is made which is unethical, bad practice and bad customer service.
Rooms to Go manager Michelle **** refused to credit me the difference in cost of the Full HD television while understanding that they are deceiving customers by not providing the full details before purchase. She is evidently taught by her corporate employer that the customer should put the small pieces of information they provide, together and inquire about the details before the furniture is delivered. I expressed my dissatisfaction with this idea and I believe Rooms to Go will continue to use these same unethical practices in the future.

I bought a sectional reclining sofa in March. In December, on the center loveseat portion of the sofa, the front cross bar snapped on the right side and cracked on the left side. Rooms to Go sent out a service technician saying its un-repairable. Today, I get a call-back saying the furniture was damaged by the owner and they won't fix or replace it. The sofa has not been abused and I expect when I spend $4000 on furniture it will last longer than a few months. I don't appreciate being blamed for poor craftsmanship.
I now have to take photos of the damage and jump through hoops to try to get them to replace it. The problem is that I can't see the extent of the damage because there is fabric still attached to the frame where it is broken, obscuring the damage. If I remove the fabric to photograph it, it will likely completely void the warranty.

I was told five days after the furniture was delivered that the Best Buy gift card would be activated. When the furniture arrived, the TV stand was damaged and never left the truck. After calling the salesman that we dealt with, we were told that that would not affect the five-day wait. On the fifth day, a full five days after, we couldn't get the TV because the card was not activated. The sixth day, it was not activated. The seventh day, I called the store and was told that the whole order had to be delivered before the card would work. I called corporate and was told that they could not activate the card. Right! No more furniture for me from Rooms to Go. Corporate told me that they separated the TV stand from the order so the card would activate in another 5 days.

The TV sold to us is no longer available but for $200 more they will give us a 51" Samsung 3D TV or we would need to get a non-3D TV.
This is a classic bait and switch and should be illegal. The salesman flat out lied to us and all the Rooms To Go managers have to say is their apologies. The staff is all nice until after the sale, then they flat out told us it's not their problem that we need to deal with Best Buy. We did not buy a room package with a gift card, we paid for a TV and now Rooms To Go is charging us monthly for a TV that they are unable to provide to us.

We purchased a sofa, loveseat, and chair for my daughter 1 1/2 years ago. The springs on the bottom of the sofa keep popping off and the sofa sinks. I called Rooms to Go and since I was 6 months out of warranty, they said I had to handle it myself with a furniture repair man. A repair man tried to repair the springs but they continue to pop out of place because he said the entire frame of the sofa is defective and coming apart and there is nothing he can do about it.
I called Rooms To Go customer service and spoke to a "supervisor". She said there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. I told her regardless whether or not I'm out of warranty, the sofa is only 1 1/2 years old. It is not a disposable item. They should stand behind the product they sell. I asked her if she were in my shoes what would she do. She said, "I guess I would fight it like you are doing."
I see such a vast amount of complaints about the quality of the furniture from this place and their lack of interest in helping solve the problems. I don't think the consumer should have to unknowingly go into the store, purchase the items, and have this happen to them. Something should be done about Rooms To Go now. If they cannot sell quality products they should be shut down. What can we, as consumers, do to prevent this from happening to the next buyer?

This is regarding the showroom in The Woodlands, Texas. On Friday evening, 11/11/11 at around 6 to 7 p.m., we purchased a bedroom set. We picked our bedroom set based on availability and asked the salesman for delivery on Monday, November 13th. He agreed, and we put $300 by Visa down on the purchase; the rest was placed on the business' financing account. Due to personal/financial reasons, however, less than an hour later, we realized we needed to cancel. We called and were told by the "manager" (who was only the assistant store manager) that there would be a 20% restocking fee. While they refunded the entire amount on financing, they took $265 of the $300 put down by Visa and added it to the financing account as a store credit.
The problem is their refund policy. Upon examination of their website, the return policy states that we have 48 hours to cancel with a full refund of monies. We had noted this prior to shopping at the store. However, because we asked for delivery on Monday, our purchase (according to them) was an express delivery and thus voided their refund policy clause. Nowhere on the website does this state this. It wasn't until we looked at the back of our receipt (which we did not sign, we did an electronic signature via a card-reading device) that we noticed an extended sentence on the refund clause stating that "refund/cancellation rights do not apply to express/next day delivery orders". Again, nowhere is this stated on their website. We did not sign this contract physically, either. My electronic signature was placed on these papers after the fact.
In addition, there is no definition of what express delivery entails. We did not purchase express delivery, nor did we ask our salesperson for such. We simply looked into what was available and the soonest we could have it. If the store offers an arbitrary express delivery for free, there needs to be a defined definition in their clause disclaiming how soon is "express" and what cancellation rights are entailed. This should also be a vocal warning when purchasing - we would have not purchased from them if we knew they were waiving our rights. We purchased from Rooms to Go in good faith and believe we have been misled. Their policy is clear. Yet, they took our rights away by slapping an arbitrary amendment to our original contract.
The salesman, Mike, was incredibly rude on the phone and lied to us, claiming to be the store manager. Even though our purchase and following cancellation was within an hour on a Friday night, he still stands by his lie that somehow our order got to the distribution center and our furniture had already been loaded onto the truck. This is a lousy business practice and terrible customer service. All we are asking for is what we believe we are owed: our full refund, nothing more, and nothing less. Rooms to Go has stolen $265 from us. While we will continue this debacle with their corporate office and district manager, a formal complaint will also be filed against them to the Better Business Bureau.

I have been a customer of Rooms To Go for the last three years. In those 3 years, I have spent close to $16,000 with this company. I have purchased a dining room set, area rugs, lamps, and most recently, an $8,000 Dumont bedroom set. It had to be delivered a total of 3 times before I received one that was not damaged and in a box. I called customer service and I had to go back and forth with them demanding a new one because it was delivered damaged when it arrived off the truck. I contacted the store manager who was nice nasty and then finally after 2 weeks, I got a new one. It was an inconvenience to me because I had to keep my clothes in boxes until they decided to deliver the new dresser set. At the time, I purchased the set and 2 night stands were included in the package but I refused to get them because the room was too small.
I decided 2 days later that they would indeed fit. They refused to give them to me and they told me that I would have to pay in full for them. I didn't understand that when I paid $8,600 dollars cash for the package in which they were included. That should have been my last time with RTG but last week, I decided to go back and purchase a rug, small table, and lamp totaling over $600. I picked it up to avoid a delivery fee of $100. The associate had my items ready and packed in my van. The next day, the associates called me, saying that they gave me the wrong box which was totally not my fault. Out of the goodness of my heart, I took the lamps back and got the one that I ordered. Once I spent my time and used my gas to take it back to the store and come back home, the lamp was broken.
As big of a corporation as Rooms To Go is and as much cash money as I have spent with them, I should have been given my nightstands and lamps just to show that I was appreciated for being a customer. I could have chosen any company but I chose RTG! I felt used, disrespected, and disgraced. None of the things I mentioned above were my fault. I should have been compensated for something. It was a shame and they didn't care. I will never purchase anything from this company again. I will encourage my family and friends to purchase elsewhere because their reputation for customer satisfacction sucks. It is a disgrace!

All I have to say from hearing all these complaints is that, I got lucky with the furniture I purchased as everything works fine and I have no structural issues. On the negative side of this feedback, their delivery company sucks!

The 2nd time, they didn't come at all!
Their delivery service is horrible! Save yourself the hassle time, money and rent for $20. Bring it yourself to your home. Even the guys that brought the furniture were supposed to call me an hour before, they never did and then they were mad at me not being at the house for them to drop off the furniture. I was 5 minutes away at the grocery store and they gave me a hard time when I arrived 5 minutes after they did. They didn't even bother calling an hour in advance like they were supposed to!
Then they came in to install the furniture and it was raining outside(keep in mind my home is a brand new construction home), they walk in with there muddy shoes all over the tile and carpet and then proceed to sling my furniture together like it was a cheeseburger the were assembling.
No concern about scratches on the furniture or not setting it up correctly and to top it all of they were really rude to me! I guess that's what you get when you spend $3500.00 at rooms to go. Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid delivery! At all costs!

I received no apology or explanation.
At 6:45, I called because our furniture still had not arrived. Again, there was no explanation and no apology. Finally at 7:15 at night, my delivery arrives. After they set up my table and leave, I realize they set up the table incorrectly and we had to fix it ourselves. If I had known the service would have been so poor, I would have picked it up on the weekend and saved my time and money. Also, I could have picked it up myself and assembled the table myself.
I am happy with the furniture but the service left me less than satisfied and I can promise I will never purchase from your company again. In the economic environment we are in today, I expect to be treated with some respect as a customer. If your company cannot provide that, I would prefer to go elsewhere next time even if it is more expensive solely on principal. I hope you take this into consideration for future customers.

In the conversation, I was told that they only come to my area once a weekend and only on Wednesdays. This was fine except that it would put everything after the warranty date. I finally had a gentleman come to my house to inspect my sofa on August 24, 2011. My initial complaint had to do with the construction of my sofa. I have no children at home and no husband. So you see, I live alone and I am gone a lot. I had some friends over and I have a friend that weighs about 275lbs sit on my couch and it gave with him! I am not sure what was going on except when he got up, there was a little bow. This is why I contacted RTG. Now that we have that, the gentleman that came out was not here 5 minutes, and he said it was broken. OK, I get that, but what now? Well, he told customer service it was customer neglect, how is this my fault? The sofa evidently malfunctioned, had poor material and poor construction. Well, I heard back that it was pretty much S-O-L for me. I refuse to take that, especially since I paid almost $1,000.00 dollars for this sofa.
I took it upon myself to have it looked at since I was getting NOWHERE with your company. The repair man said that the particle board had come unglued and the piece that held it together was not sturdy enough to hold the front together, so any weigh caused it to break. Now If the guy had really been concerned to give me customer service, he would have looked and checked underneath and found the problem which was construction malfunction. I am sending pics of the findings. I am so disappointed in the behavior and lack of customer service that I doubt I ever will purchase anything else from your company.

RTG makes claims to high quality at low prices. I beg to differ regarding this claim. I am willing to give any company the benefit of the doubt; but in reading the many accounts of the horrors that consumers had befell in purchasing furniture from this company, I feel like the sea of hard working individuals marched off to financial slaughter.
I purchased a leather sectional in 2007. I called them within the year to inform them that the color on the leather had severely worn away. This is not something you would expect, not to mention the hording tons of leather treatment/cleaner furnished by the thoughtful folks at RTG. I purchased an additional coverage, which I thought covered both furnishings for an additional 3 years on top of the 1 year warranty by the manufacturer. As I have called, I had a claim number but got no call back. This has become an annual call. Neither RTG nor their claims department, as there are three, can give me any explanation except that I have been volleyed back and forth between the two companies as to who is responsible and who is not.
To make an already long story short, I have determined that with the amount of complaints, the hold time alone tells the tale - the lack of continuity of customer service and a policy that is deceptive in that if you purchase an additional extended policy, it also includes the initial first year. Now follow me, 3+1=4, but not to RTG. For them it's 1+3=3 because the first year is included (although, automatically, it is covered under manufactures warranty). In this volatile economic reality that we are all trying to survive, my furniture, despite it all, is paid in full and on time, even short of the offer to take advantage of the no interest. I would think that with the complaints, the company would take consumer concerns seriously!

This evening (09/12/2011), I visited Rooms-to-go at Frisco location near IKEA. I was greeted by person A and I started looking around for stuff. I had a quick question for one item and noticed that the person A who greeted me was on the other side of the store and was talking to another customer. I noticed that another employee, Melissa, was walking by with another customer. I thought since she is right next to me, I will ask her a quick question and then she can continue to lead the other customer. Since she was right next to me she heard me saying "Excuse me, I have a quick question," but she avoided me. The customer whom Melissa was attending to was nice enough to bring her attention to me by saying "He has a question." Melissa still avoids to look towards me and tells the customer "It's okay" and starts talking to that customer and leads her away from where we are standing.
I'm not sure how other people would interpret this incident, but in my opinion, it is a rude behavior. If Melissa is busy and does not want to attend to my question, she should say "Sir, I am in the middle of something and I will get back to you." Later on, if she does not get back to me, I can understand. Instead, she chooses a rude behavior.
I immediately went to the store manager, Wayne, and informed him about the incident. He said he will speak to Melissa. His tone did not sound friendly or apologetic. I asked him if there is a customer complaint form that I can fill up, and send to the head quarters. His tone immediately changed to friendly and he said there is an online form. He also said he will speak to Melissa and he is sorry about what happened. Now, he knows things are going to get escalated, so he is sorry about the situation. My response to him was he should not apologize, Melissa should apologize as she was rude to me. Wayne said that once she is done with that customer, he will ask Melissa to apologize to me.
I waited for fifteen minutes and my 18 months old was getting impatient to go home. I did not have time to wait longer so I approached Melissa again and informed her that I have spoken to the manager. At this time, she looks at me for the first time and in a loud voice says, "When I am with a customer, you do not interrupt me. You have interrupted me twice(including this time)." I asked "What am I suppose to do if I have question?" She kept repeating, "When I am with a customer, you do not interrupt me and you have done that twice(including this time)." She said that she will call the manager to help me and she picked up the phone. I wanted the manager to come and resolve the issue but she walked away saying "Let's get out of here." I immediately realized she did not really call anyone, she just wanted to run away from the situation.
Finally, I went to the manager, Wayne, again and said I have to go now. He said he will send her out right away to apologize but no body showed up for a few minutes. My 18 month old was very cranky by this time and I had to leave, so I just left with the idea that I will inform the customer service about the incident later.

I called to try and get replacement casters (wheels) for a swivel chair we purchased in January 2010. First of all, it should not be so poorly constructed that one of the wheels broke, and the other simply vanished (or may not have been there to start with). The worst part is we were willing to pay for the parts, but the supplier were not shipping parts. I was told our only recourse was to go to a furniture repair/supply store. Sadly, they can't even service their own parts. Service after the sale in this case is simply unacceptable.

I bought a beautiful living room suite a couple of years ago. The couch is in my formal living room, in other words, the room you never use. Only me and my husband live here. Over the past few months, every time you sit on the couch or love seat, it collapsed. It's like the spring is dropping out of the bottom. I had a guest over a few weeks ago and when he sat down the corner section, it collapsed with him. I was so embarrassed. I lifted the cushion up and the springs actually came through the couch. I would welcome anyone from Rooms To Go to come by and look at it. The furniture looks brand new but you can't sit on it without sinking. I personally have never seen or experienced anything like this. Please, I would welcome any help!

I bought a queen size mattress, a couch, and a loveseat in January of 2009. A couple weeks later, my couch started to sink in the middle and when people sat down you could hear the springs coming out. I called and set up a service appointment.
A couple weeks later, the repairman came and fixed the springs and ordered me more cushions. Almost as soon as he left, the springs started coming out again. It took several months to get the cushions, which of course did not help the problem. So I had to put wood pieces under the cushions to keep people from sinking into the couch.
The pillow-top mattress, within the past year, has sunk and I wake up with horrible back pains. Today, after having my mattresses for about 2 and 1/2 years, I ordered new mattresses from a different company. I will never shop at Rooms 2 Go again.

We ordered some Living Room furniture in November 2010 and were scheduled to have it delivered on December 2011. When the furniture was delivered on the scheduled date, the entertainment center hutch was damaged and the delivery person said they were not even taking it out of the box, that they would notify the warehouse and have it reshipped the following week.
The order was also short one of the chairs, and the rug that we had picked out was not the right one. They indicated that they would notify the warehouse about the chair which would be delivered with the entertainment hutch, the following week, but the rug would have to be returned to the store in which we purchased and exchanged there. All this of course was a big inconvenience for us in our hectic day-to-day schedules. We returned the rug to the store and got with the manager who told us that the delivery person was wrong and that it should have been taken back with them to the warehouse.
He did ask us to look though the store to see if we could locate it, but of course it was not there. He had us look through the computer inventory to see if it possibly might be there but still, no rug. He indicated that we should return it to the warehouse. We called the main warehouse and had them check to see if possibly the rug had the wrong tag on it since it was the same number on our purchase invoice. They indicated that they did have another and that we could bring in the other rug and swap it out.
Meanwhile, the second delivery came the following week with the hutch but still, no chair. Finally, after multiple phone calls, we finally took delivery of our chair on February 15, 2011, which we had to pick up ourselves from the warehouse and the swap out of the rug was still wrong. The warehouse also charged our account once again.
During this 3 month period of receiving this furniture, of course, the billing started in January of 2011 at the amount of the furniture that was delivered which was less than the amount stated by our store salesman. I actually paid more than the amount he had stated in the billing address that I was provided. Needless to say, as the furniture was received, the monthly bill started to increase to more than the amount I was initially told that in March of 2011, my payment was not sufficient to them which resulted to a late fee charge of $35.00. We called and got that straightened out, so we thought they took the late fee off.
The very next month, they changed the billing address of which I had already put the original address into my bill pay service, and of which since it is set up for automatic payment. I don't always look at the bill when it comes in. That's my fault, I know, but after watching my bank account to see when the check was clearing, I noticed that it wasn't clearing until some 8 days after it was scheduled to be there. I reviewed my statements for May, June, and July, and low and behold, they had assessed a late fee again for those months.
When I called to inquire as to what was going on with my account, all I could get was a rude customer service person who only wanted to take a payment over the phone for my account which was not due until the next month. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told that I had to make a written complaint of the problem and fax it to them, and that there was not anyone else I could speak with. Either the phone connection was lost or I was hung up on, I don't know which, but I'm assuming the latter.
I called back, and got the same individual, and asked if there was someone else I could speak with, that I was hearing impaired, and that her accent was making it difficult for me to hear and understand. So, she put me on hold, and another representative came on who could understand what we were saying, but figuring that the new mailing address was the issue, she stated that it should not have been and that we could send it to either address. I'm still confused as to why they are posting it later than the date they received it because I don't understand why it takes 11 days for the USPS to deliver a first class mailing!

We bought a Cindy Crawford leather sectional sofa. When the furniture was delivered, the end recliner was not functional. It seemed very unstable, and very poorly built. One of the armless chairs had a large mark on it. The store replaced the end recliner with a new one that seemed to be satisfactory. The only thing they did for the mark was to cover it up with their leather paint.
We did not purchase an extended warranty, as it is just me and my husband; I expect to receive quality products when I purchase expensive items with my hard earned money. At the time the one year warranty expired, the handle on of end recliner broke in half. The threads from the stitching on the bottom of the recliner foot rest started coming undone. The customer service replaced the cheap plastic handle at no cost since our warranty had just expired, but would not do anything about the unraveling seam.
Here it is one year later and the plastic handle has broken into half again. I called the customer service, knowing that I did not have a warranty, and opted to pay for a service technician to come repair the two year old sofa and one year old handle. They said we are on our own. They do not service anything out of warranty. It appears that Rooms To Go furniture lasts approximately one year. So, buyers BEWARE! I can't believe Cindy Crawford would put her name on a product that is so cheaply made, and would partner with a store that does not stand behind their products!

I purchased a sofa set from Rooms to Go along with a warranty that protects any food or beverage spots on the sofas. I went to a Rooms to Go store to inform them I needed the service and one of the employees made a request for a technician to evaluate my sofas. After that a technician came to my home and evaluated the sofas in less than three minutes--he didn't even attempt to clean the sofas. He just said he could not clean them.
Soon after that, we got a phone call and the customer service people said that the report the technician made stated that our sofas were completely soiled, which was not true and that they needed to be professionally cleaned. Then I kept making phone calls to their customer service trying to request for another technician to come and evaluate them again, but they denied me the request. Several employees from customer service said that the warranty only covered very small spots on sofas. So I immediately looked for the warranty and read it over and over again and never did it say that it only covered very small spots.
So next, I went to the store I had previously visited and spoke to the manager about the situation and he said that he has never heard that a customer must have their sofas professionally cleaned before Rooms to Go can take action and the warranty never states it either. The manager from the store made a request for another technician to evaluate the sofas again. The second technician came and said that their product could not clean the spots on the sofas and that we needed to get them professionally cleaned.
A couple of days later, customer service called to tell me what the reports said and once again they said we needed to get them professionally cleaned and that once they were cleaned, they could send a technician to re-evaluate the sofas.
And even though I didn't agree, I decided to get them professionally cleaned and once that happened, I called customer service to inform them that the sofas had been professionally cleaned, but they said I needed to fax them the invoice of the company that cleaned them. After the fax was received by them, they called back and told me that they made the conclusion that the spots on my sofas were not food and beverage spots, which they were. They also said that they were going to close down all of our requests because there was nothing else they could do. Shortly after this, I called once again to speak to a supervisor and the lady I spoke to said that the only supervisor working was Cynthia ** and that she was not able to talk with me at the moment and that there were no other supervisors available at the moment. I had previously talked to Cynthia ** and she had made a very offensive comment, she asked me what kind of person am I to not clean my sofas weekly like her.
At this point, I feel like all of my rights have been taken away and that everything that was stated on the warranty was not done. I'm asking for your help to resolve this situation as soon as possible.

We did not accept delivery, and we went back to store to resolve the issue.

To start with, I am the person who opened the account and who's credit is being impacted. The furniture was for my son, Jason Alcock. At the time my son took possesion of the furniture the first time the drivers brought the furniture into his condo, they noticed they had wrong parts for the end tables and the couch had a couple of rips in the leather. So they left the furniture and said that they would pick it up when they delivered the reordered furniture. The driver also added that they would schedule an a.m. delivered the following Tuesday. My son waited all Tuesday morning but no one showed up. It was then that he called Rooms to Go to find out what was going on because no one had contacted him and then found out that the promiced Tuesday was never scheduled and told that the driver does not schedule the delivery. How did he know that--no one contacted him. My son was the one who had to call them to find out the status.
Then they proceded to schedule another delivery date and noted that it would be an afternoon delivery becuause my son worked the morning shift. This was suppose to be a favor so he would not have to rearrange his work schedule and be inconvelience once again. But, the furniture was delivered in the a.m. when no one was there. Then another delivery was set up and another day wasted waiting for the furniture and true to the imcompetance already experienced, the second set of furniture was worse than the first set. The delivery man told my son he would not even bring it up. Stuffing was coming out of it. May 15, 2011 was the first delivery date and July 2, 2011 they finally delivered a set of furniture that was acceptable. My son and my husband had gone to Rooms to Go twice to get some resolution for this issue because now I am being billed by GE Capital for the damaged furniture that was initially delivered.
Rooms to Go assured us they were going to contact GE Capital to issue a new billing date being we did not receive the furniture until a month and a half after the initial billing was scheduled. That was not done and now I am trying to get some resolution with this issue. My son contacted Ken Rickles the Dist Mgr, who was very rude and condecending-no customer relation skills whatsoever. He did not want to help with the situation at all telling my son he had no intention of resolving the GE Capitol issue. Robbie Beasley, who is the store manager was somewhat helpful. At least he was friendly. Both my husband and I are in the Guest Relations business and find this conduct appalling. We will never shop at this store again and will tell everyone we know about this horrible experience and the lack of professionalism and concern on the part of Rooms to Go.

According too him my package was missing 1 lamp & 1 console. So I asked him could I pay cash for the missing items in order to receive the free 50 in. TV? He said no because he couldn't change my invoice after delivery. I asked if I could discuss this with his store manager. We went to see his manager; I discuss what had happened & asked him the same questions. He also said the invoice could not be changed after delivery and suggested to me to buy another new living-room package so I could receive a free 50 in HDTV. Needless to say, I am unhappy and very dissatisfied because I wasn't told about the TV promotion during my original purchase & because of the lack of dedicated I received from the store manager & sales associate.

I purchased a bed with a mattress set on 2/6/11 and according to the salesman, Tony, the purchase came with a free TV. The promised delivery date was 02/12/11 so I had to take off work due to this. The delivery person shows up and asks to look at the bedroom where he was going to put the bed so I showed him the room. He went to his truck to get the bed and he came back inside saying he had bad news. He had two headboards instead of a head and a foot board. He therefore could not set up the bed without all the pieces so he will have someone in customer service call me. He offered to leave the pieces in my house but I refused, besides I had no storage space in my house. A few minutes after he left, a call came from Rooms to Go and the caller stated they had gotten word that the stuff did not get delivered and I asked where do we go from here. She said that it was not her job to give me any information and that someone else will call me on Monday 2/14/11. I waited until around 4pm on 2/14 and since no one called, I contacted their customer service.
The person I spoke with said he did not know what was going on with my account but there was a scheduled delivery on 2/22/11. I insisted that I would really like my bed and mattress before then. He said he will try to put in a request and some one will call me. When I asked who will call me, his response was the delivery guys. That did not sit well with me because the delivery guy had mentioned to me he was an independent contractor. Well, I decided to go to the store after work. An employee in customer service told me I should not believe what the delivery people tell me because half the time they do not call customer service to let them know they were unable to deliver and that may be the reason that I did not get a call. She also did not understand why customer service told me they could not deliver until 2/22. I asked to speak to a manager. Her response was he was gone for the day. This was around 6pm. I insisted that there got to be a supervisor around there. She finally decided to get me somebody.
This gentleman came and said that "I have heard your story and I will see if we can help you". He goes to the office and comes back and says the best I can offer you is delivery on Wednesday 2/16/11. I asked what time, he said you are going to be added on so someone has to be home all day. I am a single mother and I have to work so I cannot just take off another day for a delivery, so they have to give me a specific time . He said that is the best he could do and I should stop arguing with him. I requested a refund and he said I had 48 hours until the date of purchase to do that so he could not refund at the time. I said this is not my fault and I am requesting a refund. He said he was not able to authorize a refund and that someone will call me the next day and that the corporate office in Florida was closed at the time. After me insisting I needed my money refunded, this man authorized the first employee to process a refund.
A few minutes later, I was presented with this piece of paper that looked similar to my original receipt showing the amount of my refund less about $600.00. I mentioned to the employee that I paid 2,500 plus. She insisted she was right and I should not argue with her. I asked her to go back and check her numbers and that I was not arguing with her, I was telling her how much I paid and that 1,904 was not what I paid. She decided to finally go back and look. She came back to me saying, you will probably be mad at me but I do know my numbers. What happened was corporate charged you for the TV. What a bombshell. I said so the TV was not free after all. She said yes. I was frozen. Of course she could not call corporate because the office was closed. The supervisor came along and said we will call you tomorrow. I called the store since by 1pm no one had called yet and asked to speak with the store manager.
I was directed to an employee who said she worked in the office and that she could help me. I explained the situation all over again. She told me they were working on my case at that moment. I asked when I will get my money back. She said she could not tell me because my account was locked. I asked, I thought you were working on it at the moment. How could it be locked. She laughed. I did not think this was funny at all. I am very disappointed at Rooms to Go. All I need is my refund back in a timely manner. $2,500 is no laughing matter to me. I was misled to believe I was getting a TV for free. I was very upset to the point that I felt pressure in my chest. I have to lay on the floor or in my sofa because I gave away my bed in anticipation of this new one. I need my money back ASAP. They have debited my account and also already cashed my check. They do that before they attempt delivery.

I purchased a very expensive bedroom set from Rooms To Go in December 2010. Upon delivery, I found that half of the furniture had the wrong color. I had cleaned out the room of everything for furniture to be placed in, except for a new flat screen TV purchased six months ago. When the movers left, I found that they had caused a six-inch scratch on the TV screen.
When the correct furniture was delivered, I saw the movers knock a hole in my wall. When confronted, they denied it and said that the hole was already there. I have submitted and resubmitted claims, and now I find that the claim for the TV was denied. They claimed that the scratch was already there on the new TV! Customer service has been a horrible experience. I never get return phone calls when I leave messages. They are rude and non-cooperative. I would never, ever buy anything from Rooms To Go ever again.

They have poor quality furniture with even poorer customer service. They have substandard quality furniture with multiple defects, including poor finishes, dents, scratches, and missing parts. I purchased dining room and two bedroom sets. The chairs need constant adjustment. The customer service is of little assistance. It requires multiple contacts and perseverance over several weeks and months to get issues semi resolved. Also, I purchased furniture from Pottery Barn and Star. I have been highly satisfied with purchases from these two competitors and after sales customer service. I strongly urge shoppers to reconsider purchasing from Rooms to Go. Poor quality is just poor quality at any price.

My mother and I went to Rooms to Go to buy a bedroom set for Mother's Day. When we were buying, everyone was very helpful especially when they found out that we were going to pay cash. We spend almost $3000 on the set with mattress. Upon delivery, they failed to include the bottom rails for the mattress to sit on and the backboard locking system. The delivery guy advised us to buy some 1X1 boards and put them in place of the missing pieces.
At this point, I got upset and went to the store and got into a big argument with the store manager who finally said would give me money back for the bedroom set and not the mattress.
We cut our losses and took the deal not knowing that the mattress would be very lumpy. Customer service told us that we could exchange for other style. We had to pay a difference of $200 to do exchange and again the issues begin. The mattress has a harsh smell that made my mom sick to her stomach and could not even sleep on her bed (that we bought from another furniture store in our area). I lay down on the mattress and validated the horrible smell that actually penetrates clothes and hair.
Again we call customer service to complain and they stated that it was up to the store if they wanted to exchange or give money back. The store manager stated that it was a will issue not a defect with mattress just we are being difficult. He could send a technician out and would be up to him if he would give us our money back. If we decide not to have technician go out, we could get a more expensive set or the same set with same materials and if we want a less expensive set would need to pay $100 for them to do any exchange. At this point, we are very frustrated with RTG and we are not the only people in our area, Rio Grande Valley, that are having a really bad experience with RTG. Two other co-workers of my mother's went through the same thing of incomplete delivery and poor customer service to the point where the consumers have to be restrained by family members.
I would not care if we had used their credit services but we paid cash and now they will want us to pay even more. All this has been in a span less than six months. We are done with RTG and just want our money back. I don't want anything having to do with this company at all. We are even thinking about calling our local media to let the public know how this company works.
I might have to pay out-of-pocket another $100 and buy a new set from a local furniture store.

I purchased a Hydra Sofa -Loveseat- Chair Set from Rooms to Go that was delivered by the end of November 2010. Within a month, the cushions on the sofa and the loveseat were breaking down, so I contacted them to review the product. The frame is fine, but the substandard foam they use in their cushions causes my new sofa and loveseat to look years rather than a month old. A first technician came out and verbally agreed that the cushions should not be in that condition after such a short period of time, but when I checked on the status of my warranty case, the technician had indicated that the frame was fine and nothing further should be done since it is normal wear and tear.
I appealed and requested for a second technician to come out, who made no promises. He also agreed with the first technician. I now have to take my cushions to a real upholsterer to put in the proper density foam so that the cushions would wear better. I agree that cushions should break down a bit over time, but this was over the course of one month. Rooms to Go will not take back the furniture either. This is a shoddy company with shoddy business practices and I had to learn my lesson the hard financial way.
It is not high end furniture anyway, so my expectation on it is not on par with Ethan Allen quality, but you would think the stuff would wear better, at least for a year. I will never buy furniture from them again and urge all to avoid them. It is landfill furniture, nothing more. Way to go, Rooms to Go. You have yet another unsatisfied customer to feather your cap. Does Cindy Crawford know she lends her name to such garbage furniture?

I purchased a recliner sofa set from Rooms To Go. Last week my wife was sitting on the sofa with the recliner extended and she got off the sofa from the side. She cut her leg when she got off. The metal bars under the recliner are sharp and not filed down correctly. When I complained about it, the service technician they sent over said that it was her fault. She should have closed the recliner before getting up. Rooms To Go made no effort to rectify the situation. I'm not happy that they sell dangerous products and make no effort to correct the error. On top of it, they blame the customer for "improper usage". Very unprofessional behavior especially after spending thousands of dollars on the product.
The product is clearly dangerous. I cannot let my friends and family sit on it without giving them a warning. I'll probably have to file down the sharp edges myself. I should not be the one who fixes a manufacturing defect on a product.

one and a half years ago, I purchased about 10,000 worth of furniture of very poor quality. The representative I dealt with sold me a protection plan for all four of the furniture sets that I bought stating it would cover any issue I might have with the items. I have since called the protection service and found out that none of the issues I have with the furniture are covered. The seams and threads have come loose and there are stains that won't come off. I am now out of money and have to invest in more furniture.
Buyers beware! This company is selling faulty products and turning away from customer complaints. I was misled and was given false information. When I called the corporate office, they turned me away even after letting them know that the representative had sold me something on false promises.

I purchased a bedroom set from Rooms to Go and after a two week waiting period, they finally made my delivery, however, the furniture was the wrong color. I'm aware there are color variations when it comes to wood products, but this was so entirely different and I thought they'd brought the wrong set. I got my sales flyer and it was the right furniture, just not the right color. I stopped the delivery men and called the store. After a 30-minute wait, my salesperson came on the line and told me to go ahead and accept the furniture because if I refused it and it went back to the warehouse without paperwork, it would take longer to get things worked out. I made sure to note on every piece of paper I signed that it was not the correct merchandise. (they have those copies, not me).
After approximately eight phones calls to the store and many times of being told things were being done when they in fact had done nothing, I was finally given an appointment with a technician. He canceled the first appointment on a holiday weekend due to illness. When I finally got a technician out to look at the bedroom set, he was very very nice and told me he would have his report turned in 5 days later and the store would call me two days after that. Two weeks later after having to call them yet again, I was told the technician determined the product to be with in "spec".
I asked what my options were since I did not agree at all and was told there was nothing further they could do to assist me. I'm now stuck with $3000 worth of bedroom furniture that I don't like. I'm wishing very much that I had never walked in to a Rooms to Go showroom and have every intention of spreading the news to anyone who will listen.

I asked him about the sofa being on sale. He confirmed that the sofa I was sitting on was on sale for $877, but didn't know for how long. I asked him about the warranty on the motors and if he knew of any problems with the motors. Scott told me that the warranty on the motors was 12 months. I purchased the sofa that day, I paid for protection (not sure what that is) and also paid delivery and set up bringing the total to $1075.81.
The following Monday, a couch was delivered but had no electric seats. I phoned and Scott told me "too bad, that electric was extra". I asked him why this was never mentioned to us on the day of purchase and he stated that he didn't know why he didn't tell me that. He remembered us but had no way of helping me now unless I wanted to pay extra. I asked him to talk it over with his manager and call me back. I haven't heard from them and I'm not sure what to do now. It's a bait and switch and I don't want other people to be victims of this shady practice.

Today, 11-29-10, my husband goes to HHGregg to pick up TV and was told card is not active. My husband calls Rooms to Go and spoke to Jan. Jan calls back and leaves a message that we should call online customer support to resolve issue. At 4:27 pm, I call online customer support and spoke to Heidi. This lady was very rude. She told me that I am not owed a TV. She said, "Can you read?" She asked me where my order confirmation is. I tell her that it doesn't say anything about "no TV" and that the gentleman had told me I would still receive it or I wouldn't have changed the order. She said it clearly states that the order does not include TV. I explain that it doesn't. She sighs and tells me she can't help me and again asks if I can read. I told her that she was not being very customer service friendly. She says, "Oh, well." I told her I'll call your headquarters to see if they can help me. She says, "Good luck with that!" in a sarcastic tone. I called back and spoke to a Michelle who gave me Heidi's name.
I called the Tampa HQ. I spoke to another person who said, "They forgot to put the TV on the order in online support." I asked if there wasn't anything she could do since it was her online support's error. She said if it's not on the order, she can't give me a TV. She said, "But you weren't charged anything extra." I said, "I know, it was suppose to be free." She said she could not do anything and sounded bored and said, "Have a nice day."
My complaint is two-fold. I wasn't given what I was promised, which is false advertising. I ordered by the deadline to receive the free TV. I was promised by the guy in online support that revising my order to a higher priced item would not change the fact that I would receive the TV. Now, I have no TV for my daughter's Christmas and no extra money to spend on one. Second, I have never experienced such poor customer service. I found a site for people that hate Rooms To Go. It appears this company has a problem with customer service and delivering on promises.

When the furniture was assembled there was a defect with the chairs they have small legs in the front with the back rest of a bar stool. So imagine a slanted chair as if it was a slide.

While waiting for a supervisor to call back that never happened I called back December 4 to the store and spoke with the manager Ken ** who plain out said there is nothing he could do and that he cannot give me their District managers number that he did not have that information yes, as if I was to believe that.
He rudely hung up on me and said that if my grandmother fell oh well. I called customer service and spoke to a supervisor Rosie no last name because she said she didn’t have to provide it. After explaining the situation for the tenth time she said there was nothing she can do. After reading the back of my contract to her because she was not obviously aware of what it says. She said repair means having a service technician go the property and determine the defect of the furniture. That is new definition I have yet to find for repair. The warranty clearly states they would give a refund or repair or replace the defected material. She then went on to just clearly hang up on me.

Even told us the Best Buy certificate for the TV (since they had no more) was for $700 when in fact it was only $598! Told us we were getting two consoles, we received one. When the furniture was delivered, the recliner would not work. Delivery person tried to call his dispatcher. I tried to call customer service right then.

She ended up being off the next day which of course she did not tell me about. Called and was placed on hold for 10 minutes then I was told no manager would pick up the phone. Imagine that!
I told them I was going to come up to the store and walk with a sign in front to let customers know what a crappy store they are!

I purchased a bed and trundle from Rooms to Go in Metairie, LA with a three year extended warranty which the salesmen describe as "the best thing you could have especially with kids furniture because if any part of the bed broke for any reason they would repair or replace it." It arrived with the wrong hardware so I had to miss a second day of work for them to come back and set bed up properly.
A month later, the trundle bed broke. The bottom fell out of the trundle. Called customer service. They set up a visit from the technician to come check it out. (I missed a third 1/2 day of work to meet him). He walked in, took a look for less than a minute and said he would order a replacement. Missed another half day for the delivery of the new bed which the workers said the trundle was missing a piece at the bottom and that's what's caused the bottom to fall out. Six month later, the back panel of the trundle fell off as the screws pulled away from the back panel and the bottom fell out again.
Called customer service. They said they would send a technician. I said it's the same problem as last time, just send a new bed. No, gotta have the technician see it first. Scheduled technician.. missed another 1/2 day of work. Technician comes over. Looks at the bed for a total time of :48 and says it needs to be replaced. We scheduled a new delivery date. I missed another day of work waiting for the delivery.
Again six month later, 12 days passed the original one year warranty, I called to complain and they say sorry...it's out of warranty. Told them I have extended warranty. Waited on hold for 36 minutes only to be told I have call the warranty company because it's a different company who handles the extension. Called the 800 number. Got the run around for days.. Called the store manager. They send over a technician. I missed yet another day of work to meet him. He comes in looks at the bed and says he can glue it. To which I replied if the screws can't hold this bed together, I don't think gluing it. He says this piece is not even wood that's why the screw is pulling away.
Well then that's a manufacturer's defect and they have to replace it or replace the back panel with wood. He says all I can do it glue. They sent me to fix it and it's just not fixable. The next day I called the manager who tends to take two days off no matter which day of the week I call. It's one of his two days off that week (according to the secretary) who takes my message. A week later the manager calls me back and says there is nothing they can do the bed is broken because of my misuse. I re- state that the child is 6 and has slept on the floor more in the past year than the bed because the bed has broken longer than it has been fixed.
He states unless it is manufacturers defect we can't replace the bed. Clearly it is a manufacturers defect. The screws pull away from the back panel. It is not even the side of the bed that we pull on to get the bed out. According to technicians report, it is fixable with glue but the customer refused. Goodbye we can't help you and we can't replace the bed.
6 missed days of work. $2400 bed and $300 extended warranty. Never will I purchase from rooms to go again. I have pictures of the bed and looking for place to post them. Clearly it is manufacturers defect. The bed stays propped up in my dining room and my child sleeps on her mattress on the floor. We've been ripped out and lied to.

We purchased a living room and a dining set about 2 weeks ago. It was delivered last Friday, the 5th of November, as planned. Sales guy was super kind and helpful. We were so thrilled about our new furniture. It looked great and seemed to be all that we were looking for. But after 3 days my problems started.
The dining set is actually still perfect, so far. But our living room is a nightmare. It took us only 3 days to start having horrible back aches. It came to the point now, after a week, that I can't even find any position at all, to stand up or sit anywhere, without severe pain. My husband is feeling the same way. And worse, this is severely affecting my breastfeeding, because it doesn't matter where or how I am sitting, it just hurts and there is no comfortable position right now for me.
So my baby gets frustrated as well, cause I am annoyed and in pain, and she is refusing the breast for the first time in 4 months. I am so sad and disappointed! I was renting furniture because we recently moved to the US (it was very average furniture) and it was so much better than this one. I have more pain now than when I was pregnant! What one would expect from a chair and sofa, is at least to have support for their bodies. The ottoman is actually pretty good, when you sit on it, you can feel how it supports your weight and you feel you can sit upright and comfortable. But the seats? Horrible.
The cushions both from the seat and from the back are extremely bad. Instead of having support, I literally sink into the couch/chair and this is horrible for our backs. I have tried everything repositioning the back cushions, putting extra pillows behind my back, then some other behind my neck and head, then tried sitting in another position, or in a different place in the couch, but nothing helps because the stuff is simply bad, very bad. I have tried to deal with this but there is no way I can accept to purchase a living room for $1,500, and then I can't use it.
The living room is the most important room for us. It is where we spend family time together, and it's where I breastfeed my baby the whole day and it's been hell to me. Before we bought this living room set, I was renting this furniture from another company and I remember I absolutely hated the sofa that one too had bad support but guess what: I really miss it now! It is a dream compared to this one.

After my 12 month warranty expired (at 13 months), the bottom frame snapped from the loveseat and the sofa, all of the cushions are sagging. You can absolutely not sit on this furniture anymore.
The saddest thing is that my husband and I are the only ones who live there and we work 12 hours a day, so this furniture is hardly ever used. I tried calling several times, but of course, since the furniture is out of warranty, they don't really care. This furniture is quite possibly the cheapest made junk I have ever seen and I'm embarrassed to have it in my home. They should be ashamed to sell it.
This furniture is in my family room. Needless to say, I have to tell people not to sit on it as they may end up on the floor. It all needs to be replaced. I spent $1,400 (of which I am still paying as I bought it with 0% financing) for furniture that I now have to put in the garbage. The room will be empty as I cannot afford to replace it at this time.

I called them to tell them that the cleaning solution they gave me left nasty water spots on my furniture and they sent out a tech who took pictures and determined that I had abused them by letting my kids rub food and drinks all over them.
Then I called them to dispute their allegations and they came back to me with insinuations and basically called me a liar and that I had myself done this to the furniture. I told them what the salesperson told me and they said that they never do that and that I was out of luck. I told them that all I wanted was a refund for the warranty that I didn't feel was given to me considering that the furniture was never protected even from water, that nothing I used helped in cleaning it and that it just made things worst.
They said they'd refund $80.00, which is prorated for the whole almost one year time I've had this furniture. Then they said I had to hire someone to clean it and they would rebond them, which just leads me to believe that they were never bonded in the first place. I feel victimized, like they took my money and are now partying up at my expense. They have been rude and condescending and have treated me, the consumer, poorly. I now have a $1200 living room set that I saved up money for looking like a set I picked up at the corner junk yard. The cleaning solution damaged it further.

I was "slammed" into a protection plan on September 5. The salesman pointed out the charges, but explained to us that they were for delivery. On September 8, I returned to the store to dispute the charges and explain to the manager how I was deceived. They granted me a refund but explained how the refund will be mailed to me rather then credited back to my debit card account. I was told the check would be mailed that Friday.
I then called the Rooms to Go corporate office to file a complaint and they told me I would hear back from them in 48 hours. I never heard from them. On September 14, I called to ask why I had not heard back about my complaint and they told me I wouldn't and also told me that my refund for the protection plan had not been mailed. I went to the store to get a full refund, over $3000.00, and now I will have to wait for that. Rooms to Go has stolen from me as I see it!!

I purchased furniture from Rooms to Go on a 24 months no interest. I made my payments every month and 99% of the payments, I doubled paying way more than the amount due. In May 2009, my balance was $1,800 and I sent them a payment of $1,600 that I got back from my IRS refund. In July 2009, my "minimum payment due" said $0 but I went ahead and sent them $25 because my remaining balance was $200. I moved at the end of July and did a change of address. I didn't receive an August bill from them but went ahead and sent them another $25. The August bill was sent to my old address so I never saw it, never knew that on it my "minimum payment due" was $27. As I said, I sent them $25 - and remember $1,600 2 months earlier.
Well, all of a sudden when I got my September bill, they added finance charges to my "original amount" because of a $2 difference causing my interest to be $50 per month. When I called them and complained, they told me that I needed to go to Rooms to Go, so I did. Spoke with a manager there. Wasted about 2 hours there only to find out that I had to pay all of this interest because of me not making the minimum payment voided my "interest free". I called back GE Money, sent them letters--explained that I had moved and never saw the bill.
Last month, I borrowed the money and paid the entire amount of my bill which should have left me with a zero balance. Yesterday, I received my new bill $72.57. I called them about an hour ago and spoke with a lady that said it looked like finance charges. I explained that my payment should have paid it in full. She told me that she was going to transfer me to an account manager. I held for 25 minutes before finally speaking to "Amanda". I explained it all to her and she said, she would do an adjustment to my account. We shall see! I do not recommend doing any business with GE Money. If you need to buy something, save up for it or get a loan from the bank. This place is a scam!

This woman Terry ** is the service manager for all the stores. Being a district manager myself, I can tell you that she has an attitude problem. I was told that the sofa I bought 6 months ago was covered for everything, and I paid $129.00 for that warranty. Now that I have a rip in the corner seam and then it was ripped further by the dog (still in the corner), I am told it is not covered and they want to charge me $100 plus to fix it. Even if you've spent thousands at this store, they will not accommodate you for something so simple. Even to honor a lie from the salesman who told us everything was under warranty. They do not care about their customers and have the worst customer service I have seen. What's even more upsetting is the woman here has left a nice message that Terry fixed her sofa at no charge from a rip that her cat made. Unbelievable. Don’t buy furniture here. They play favorites.

Please check your statements closely against your invoices. Our $5000 purchase was split into 3 deliveries. All taxes/delivery charges had to be paid up front. Purchases are not added to acct until delivered. So far, two deliveries added to account and both are wrong. First charged extra $28 (tax amount) that was already paid. The second added extra $10 (delivery fee) that was already paid. Will find out tomorrow how hard it's going to be to get excess charges removed. And we'll check closely when 3d delivery shows up on account.
Also, their statements are a nightmare. These purchases added to existing account with 2 different no-interest promo periods. Expiration dates with separate balances are not printed on statements, so no way to know how much is going to each promo balance (paying thru online banking). I requested separate accounts, but they said they could not do that. They assured me on phone that amt of my prior monthly payment would always be applied to the older balance, but that needs to be reflected on the statements.

I made the mistake of buying a whole house of furniture from Rooms To Go, 3 bedrooms and living room, over $12,000 I paid. The delivery stole from my home and striped all the screws to all the furniture, the handles to the dressers broke off in the first month. I reported all this to the store that I bought it from. I went there personally so as there would be no confusion as to the reason I was there. The sales lady that I bought it from said to come back later that she was with another customer and could not be bothered with me at that time.
I waited until she was done with the other customer, then I approached her again and she said that she couldn't help me that I had to take it up with corporate headquarters and asked me to leave the store. That upset me! They already had my money and that was it. My living room set (3 piece with massaging recliners) would not open correctly and would hand up. They sent three different people out and they all said that they could not fix it that it had to go back to the shop to be fixed.
Now granted this was over a six months period before they agreed to get the furniture and take it back to the shop. They kept it for seven days and I had nothing to sit on nor my family. When it was delivered to my home, it was broken more than when they came to get it. Now I was really upset and called their shop back. I was rudely told that the year warranty had expired and they would do nothing more. $12,000 plus I spent there. I'm glad that I worked for La-z-boy for seven years so I knew how to fix my furniture!
And once I saw the garbage that was used to build it all I really wanted to do is find the owner of Rooms To Go. Now, I tell everyone I meet what trash they sell and how bad their service is after the sell. They are thieves and liars that should have their business shut down and they should have to return every penny they have stolen from all their customers. I had to fix myself all the faulty mechanisms, upholstery. I had no usable furniture for my family or guests to use without fear they would get hurt by the shoddy workmanship and plain disregard to the safety of the customer that spent 12 grand plus.

Purchased 3,000 worth of furniture. 1st delivery I received a cracked bed. A 2nd delivery was scheduled to deliver new bed for Aug 20th. Special instructions were given that the bed would need to be delivered by 5pm because my son had open house at school. I took off from work to be home for the delivery. I started calling around 2pm because I had received no phone call about delivery. I was told the furniture would be delivered between 6pm and 10pm. I was very upset because I had given specific instructions that it needed to be delivered by 5pm.
They basically felt I had no reason to be upset and informed me I should have called to days prior to delivery. It did not matter to them that they did not do what their information, said would be done and them call before delivery. After going round and round with Customer Service my only choice was to inconvenience someone else and ask them to come sit at my home until I could get back from my son's open house. I then received a phone call from Rooms to Go stating that they would not be to deliver the furniture at all today.
I took a day off from work, was inconvenience and inconvenienced other people to try to accommodate a company that has no clue about customer service nor do they seem to want to be helpful and have a customer service attitude.

I purchased a living room of furniture from this store, which included a lamp, and a 52" Samsung television for a condominium in Ft. Pierce, FL for delivery on July 24, 2010. When the furniture arrived, the lamp was broken. Being a reasonable person, I told them to just leave the replacement lamp at the guard house as I do not occupy this address on a full time basis. They agreed to do that. The policy on the TV is to give a gift card which you use to pick up the TV 5 days following delivery of the furniture.
Having a very hectic schedule, 8-4 six days a week, I set aside today, July 29 to pick up the TV to take to place in the unit. When I got to Brandsmart, I was unable to use the card. I went to Rooms to Go, who told me that the order had not been released because the lamp was not delivered, and that they could do nothing because no one is in the corporate office on weekends.
I wasted an entire day with this and I am appalled that this company would not follow through on something that is not the consumer's fault, but would leave the customer to fix the problem, or are they stalling about delivering the television?

I bought a new bedroom set totaling $5400 from Rooms To Go and was to be delivered on July 2nd between 7am and 10pm. When I complained to the sales associate that the time frame was too long and I have to leave for work at 6pm, he told me that if I called customer service, they should be able to arrange for my delivery before I leave for work. I was told by customer service that there is nothing they could do about an earlier delivery time.
So, I stayed at home all day and had to call in late at work. At 830pm, convinced they were not going to show since it will take more than an hour to deliver and set up the delivery, I headed out to work. At 9:45pm, I got a call from my daughter saying the delivery truck was in my drive way. I headed home to take delivery. The delivery guys were so rude; they condemned my house from top to bottom, complained about my having my master bedroom upstairs. When they eventually took the suite upstairs, they complained about me buying the heaviest set in the showroom. They also condemn the layout of my bedroom and the fact that I did not have a drill set for them to work with but instead I provided them a screw driver! I had removed the old bed before they came but still had my dresser in the room. They fussed about having to move it to the next room, they actually did not want to and when i told them what rooms to go policy on moving old furniture was, they reluctantly moved it to the next room.
Now comes the fun part. 4 weeks after the delivery of my bedroom suite, I am yet to receive the 32 inch TV that came with the promotion. I was told this TV will be delivered a week after I took delivery of my suite. I have called rooms to go and best buy to no avail. I kept getting this run around as to when it I will take delivery of the TV. At first, BB told me they haven't received my paper work 2 weeks after the purchase of my package, a week later when I called them back; they told me they do not have the size of the TV available. I am waiting patiently and hoping I get this TV in my life time.

My husband and I purchased furniture from Rooms To Go during the month of May 2010. They were offering a promotion of no interest with equal monthly payments until 2013. We were given an estimated payment of $90.00 to $110.00 a month based on the promotion. My payments were set up on a 12 month plan, which was not advertised. I advised them of this and they refused to correct the issue. Rooms To Go told me I needed to settle the matter with the financing company, which in turn told me Rooms To Go had to handle it.
I was given a 12 month contract to sign, and I should have been given a contract for 36 months no interest. When I contacted the salesperson at Rooms To Go, he apologized and told me that he wasn't aware that they had a 12 month promotion. During this entire ordeal, Rooms To Go has been really difficult to deal with. They gave me the incorrect contract to sign and I believe they should make the corrections. I am unable to make the monthly payments they have given me, which will essentially destroy my credit rating. I have purchased furniture from Rooms To Go in the past, and was pleased. The mistake was made on their behalf and they should make it right.

My purpose in writing to you, because it was the name that came with the try-out package send to me, and because I need for someone to at least give an answered to all my questions.
On October 2009, I purchased a Tempur-pedic mattress in Rooms to go in Puerto Rico, it was delivered on November of that same year. I made the purchase because I'm a 59 years old lady which has many conditions on my back, lower and upper spine. While on the store the salesman show me two different types of mattresses and I chose the firmest one due to my back problems.
Two weeks after mattress was delivered it was already ruined, at the same time I received as call from the Rooms to go customer service rep and I told her that the mattress wasn't firm that it has a hole, indent, pit, cave-in or whatever you may called it. She informed me that she was going to pass a note an that I was going to received a call from them giving me an appointment. (that was on November). On December I got very sick and wasn't even thinking about my problem with the mattress. On February and March, I was attending various conferences in the United States, when I returned I went to Rooms to Go and told them I was still waiting for their call and explained my problem, that I didn't want to let it pass another moment because I didn't want them saying that the warranty has expired.
They gave me an appointment for the month of April. The person that came to my house asked me questions like, how many people sleeps in this mattress, my answer was only me. That when was the first time I felt the cave-in sensations, my answer two weeks after delivered. I asked him that I wanted a response of his findings and he told me that in two weeks they will call and let me know. Ha! It never happened. After four weeks I called them and customer service told me that my bed had an arch, and for them that was it! Mine is a remote control position bed. And I remember when buying the mattress, the salesman ask a lady in the store if I need to buy the whole sleep system and she answer in the negative.
I told the lady that I was not consonant to what she was saying and their determination. That the least I deserved was to let me see the pictures and all findings and explain to me in person (which I deserved after paying a $1,699.00 mattress) and at the same time to refute them, she told me at the time that in order to do that I had to direct an e-mail to the Manager through this site onlinesupport@roomstogo.com and they will answered me and give me an appointment. Which I did, attached you may find them.
I have long sleepless nights, because it's very difficult for me to conciliate and if it happens that you get caught in that hole it is so difficult for me to get out of bed. I purchase the mattress because I was told of all the benefits, the 20 years warranty (but with Rooms to go-after they made you buy every item of warranty they always have an escape to very cynical let you know there is nothing to it, sorry they will never called you, that's they way of treating their customers-) and besides I used to have a Serta orthopedic mattress and it never sink like this one, and your only after two weeks in my possession it's ruined, and the irony is that I'm still paying for it.
With this, I expect at least an answer from you, because the representative you have in Puerto Rico is not at the stature of your company, people, like me, who made sacrifices to buy something very costly, deserves a little of attention to their requests. I do not know if someone else had the same problem as me. The only thing I know that I do have a big problem no one seems to care. That maybe my mattress was wrong manufactured, because it sure doesn't automatically self-adjusts, go figure. That my remote control position bed does not has an arch or a hole, cave-in or pit in the middle, and the mattress you are dealing does. That your infomercials talks about the warranty, I believe is not true.
The only thing I want to know is, what is going to be done with me by your reps here in Puerto Rico, because they have to learn how to treat people. You cannot be making deals here and not stand with the least grade of consideration, respect and satisfaction to your customers, that's the least expected. At the same time, I hope you stand by your words and at least help out in this matter. Because I've been more that patient but I have to put a stop to my suffering and let you know my feelings.
Hope to hear from you soon and to at least teach your reps in Puerto Rico to stand by your standards.

My husband and I just purchased a furniture set at RTG. We had to wait about 3 weeks for delivery. The day the furniture was delivered, I sat on the rocker/recliner. I reached over, reclined the seat and sat back, the back of the seat just broke. I am pregnant but not overweight, this should not have happened.
We contacted customer support and was told they could replace the seat in about a week and a half at the earliest. Okay, fine. We agreed, we were told there was a 4-hour time frame for delivery. We tried to schedule a set time but were told they do not do that. I happened to be at work the day of delivery. They contacted my husband and informed him they were at our home and would wait 20 minutes. It took me, at most, 8 minutes to get home from my place of work. They were gone!
I called customer service and they informed me, the driver called in at 2:31 p.m. that we were not home and at 3:05 p.m. and that they were leaving because we were still not home-- not true. I was home at exactly 2:48 p.m. and they were not here. Customer service called them and they refused to return when they were still in the area. They told us the earliest they could come back was in another week and a half. What?! The lying delivery guy is still in the area, make him come back! No, instead, I got extremely rude CSR and a sarcastic, rude supervisor named, Andy!
I have never been so disgusted, disappointed and dissatisfied with a company who's motto is "Committed to your satisfaction". I will never again purchase a single item from RTG or recommend that anyone purchase any item there. The amount of money we are paying for this furniture, you'd think it was better quality! Words cannot describe how upset I am at how rude the CSR and supervisor were with myself and my husband when he called. They are not at all willing to work with the customer! If only I could return everything, the replacement chair is probably going to be just as flimsy as the first.

I called the store and was told that this was a customer service problem. I called customer service and was told that they first had to send out a service technician. Within a week or so, a gentleman showed up with a help steam clean to try to lift the pile without any result. He stated that the fabric was defective and would make a note to that effect and customer service would be calling me back.
I waited several days and decided to call customer service myself. I was told that they would send out a replacement chair and ottoman, but that they were booked up on deliveries until July 15th. I purchased the chair and ottoman in May. On July 15th, another chair and ottoman were delivered and the defective chair and ottoman were taken away. Within about three days, the same defects have showed up again. The material looks old and not brand new. I called the store where the original purchase was made and was told that it is a customer service problem.
I called customer service again and now I'm told that they will have to send out another service technician to access the problem. I let them know it is the same problem as before--defective material--and I want to make a return for a full refund. They tell me that they don't issue refunds or take back furniture, but the service technician has to come out to access the problem. I now have to wait another week for someone to come out just to tell me that the material is defective. I made the mistake of paying for the furniture with a credit card and now cannot return the furniture or get a credit for the defects.

After several months of looking for a "big girl" bed for our 5-year old daughter, we finally found one online at RTG Kids. There is a store about 30min from our home, so we went to see the bed in person before purchasing. The saleslady seemed very helpful. We did not make a snap decision; we were in the store for quite a while. They had the step bunk bed we were interested in on display; however, not in the color we wanted. The saleslady showed us other white furniture that was in the same collection. So we decided to purchase and paid almost $2000 in cash up front for the bed.
After waiting for the bed to be delivered for 1 1/2 weeks, we were so excited when we saw the delivery truck. Unfortunately, the bed was apparently damaged before being shipped as well as being damaged further by the delivery guys. They left nasty fingerprints all over the bed from setting it up and negligently left a bag of extremely sharp furniture tacks over 1 inch long attached to the chest of drawers, which my 5yr old and 1 yr old found! My children could have been very seriously hurt by their negligence! The bed was also not the true white we were expecting, it was a poor attempt at a whitewash.
I called the store to speak to our saleslady, who started backpedaling about the color and stated we needed to contact customer service about damage, which I did. I was told they could send a technician out to fix damage in 1 1/2 wks. I said that was unacceptable as it was a brand new bed. She then told me she could send a whole new piece to be delivered in 1 wk.
This still did not take care of the whole problem, so I requested a supervisor. Apparently their chain of command goes: peon, peon with a few more scripted answers, rude peon with even more scripted answers, etc.... I spoke to a lady named Evette who is supposed to be a supervisor. She was very nice, however, could only offer to void the extended warranty we purchased for obvious reason and purpose, so that we could paint the bed. After firmly stating we did not want to void warranty, she stated she would see what other options she could offer, such as a % off of purchase price so we could paint the bed. She could not authorize this, so needed to speak to her supervisor, who was unavailable. She was supposed to call me back. 4 days later, after not hearing from her, I called back; was subjected to the hideous elevator music while placed on ignore due to Evette being on the phone. When someone finally came back on line stating she was still on the phone, I requested her supervisor since she had needed to consult with that person anyway.
Conveniently, after being put on ignore again, I was told that a person was on the other line; however, Evette was available and would pick up immediately. Finally, ignored again, Evette picked up, however, stated she could only offer replacement pieces or exchange. Seriously, why would I want to exchange a bed that fast after it took mos. to pick out unless there are serious issues with that bed, so what exactly was Evette trying to tell me!
After another call back the next day, it was decided that, due to all the damage that a whole new bed would be sent out and tagged, "red alert". This tag was supposed to alert people that were packing bed to thoroughly examine every piece for damage before packing.
Delivery was scheduled for Saturday, 7/17/10 between 2pm -6pm. On Friday, 7/16, I received a call stating my delivery time needed to be changed to 4pm - 8pm. I stated that it was unacceptable and I could not do that. The Customer Service Rep said she would have the driver call when he’s on his way here. She also let me down for the 2pm - 6pm delivery time.
At 5:35pm Sat, 7/17, I received another call from a rude customer service rep stating her driver was running late and had just got to Winston. She stated he would be here very soon and definitely way before 8pm. I told her that was extremely unacceptable and about the previous conversation the day before. She was very rude and stated driver would call me when on the way here.
I tried to call customer service back at 7:10pm to find out where delivery guy was, but they were closed. Delivery guy finally calls around 7:20pm stating he would be here in 25 min. When they finally showed up at 8pm, they unloaded only the steps first. When I went to examine before they brought into the house, the new steps were damaged worse than the ones I already have. The delivery guys were even pointing out damage. I obviously refused delivery.
I tried to call customer service on Sunday, 7/18, but they are still closed until tomorrow. I called the store trying to get something accomplished today, to find out the name of the store manager and speak to them. Of course, it turns out our original saleslady is the store manager.
Buying a bed should not be this complicated! Apparently Mr. Seaman, the store owner and President, doesn't need to make any more money and doesn't care about the quality of his product or his customer service. To make matters worse, I am currently pregnant and my pregnancy is extremely high risk. I am not supposed to be getting stressed out, or upset. Gee, wonder how all of this unnecessary stress is affecting my pregnancy!

Several years ago, I purchased a living room set from Rooms to Go and was very dissatisfied with the couches and resolved to never use them again. After looking to replace my set, I could not find the black leather living room set and my daughter convinced me to check out Rooms to Go again. That she saw a set there that I might like. We went to the store in Plantation Florida and there was a set that caught my eye.
I was told that it would cost an additional $200.00 to have them motorized. No problem it was well worth it. When the furniture was delivered the couch was powered and the loveseat console unit was manual.
I was told to call the store to let them know it was wrong by the delivery person. I spoke with the manager and he told me it would cost me another $200.00 to have the loveseat motorized. I explained to him that the salesman already charged me $200.00 to have the set motorized. He said its $200.00 per unit. That is not what I was told when I bought the set. He said I would have to come back to the store in order for them to upgrade the unit and I would have to prepay before they can send out the new unit. I said I would call the corporate headquarters that this is not fair. I told the manager the salesperson was well aware that I could not use manual couches because of my condition and why would I want only one couch that I could use and the other was useless to me. He told me "Do what you want but I have the last say."
When I called corporate, they said the manager would have to take care of it not them. Also the lamp that came with the set I sent back with the delivery people because it was broken. I had to go back to the store for that as well to pick out another lamp. I had no choice, I had to go back to upgrade the useless loveseat. I told the manager when I called him back that I would be coming to the store to pick out the lamp and upgrade the loveseat unit to power. When I arrived at the store again, I told them how unfair they were and I would never again use their store. I picked out another lamp that was $19.99 more than the one I originally had bought and I would pay the difference.
I was told I would have to pay $260.00 and they would swap them out. I told him wait, how could I owe that much when the lamp was only $20.00 more and he said taxes were added. I am not a stupid women and I actually passed my math classes in school. Sales tax in this state is 6% which does not come out to 40.00 in taxes. I told him to rework his math. When all was done I paid additional $233.19, which is the correct amount not $260.00. After getting home, I realized they charged me again for the protection on the powered unit for 59.99 which was already paid on the manual unit.
Now I have to go deal with them again to get this resolved. I doubt they will work with me as I have called the store 4 times this morning and was hung up on before I ever go to speak with someone. I feel very cheated and mislead by this company. I plan on buying two more rooms of furniture and I told them it would be a cold day in hell before they get any additional money from me. Someone needs to look into this store's practices. If they are cheating me I am sure they are cheating many others. I was lied to in order to close the deal. After reviewing my original invoice, I can see many errors in the amounts they charged me. I am going to have to make another trip to the store to try to get this resolved. Anyone reading this post, I truly hope you will consider doing business elsewhere.

I purchased a sofa (sectional) three years ago. Two years ago, I had to have one section replaced. The sofa has seams/thread that have come undone, metal pieces that had to be fixed (I called Rooms To Go a year ago and let them know, they did send someone out to fix it). Where the leather meets the material is separating in many different areas. The section that was replaced is sloping again (leather on bottom wasn't connected properly), this is the reason they replaced the piece the first time. The zippers have broken on the cushions and they didn't come off to try and fix, so the cushion stuffing is exposed. The cardboard in one of the corners is broken and makes the sofa look bad in that corner, we cover it with a blanket. Also, the cushions are now showing permanent sloping.
Three people live in the house (two adults and one teenager, as well as a Chihuahua). We are hardly at home with two full-time jobs, my daughter is in school and at practice, as well as my husband and I go to school along with work. We have contacted Rooms To Go and they said since the initial one year warranty is expired (in which we purchased) there isn't anything they can do about it. I contacted someone to fix and re-upholster the sofa and it cost more to have that done than the initial cost of the sofa, which was $1600. Also, we have a dresser we purchased at the same time and the drawers have fallen apart as well as the hardware.

In 2005, I purchased several pieces of furniture from Rooms To Go. Among them, a three-piece "leather" sofa set that was covered by a one-year warranty. Just 5 years later, the leather, which I had treated by a special protectant applied by Rooms To Go, is peeling off in sheets. I have taken care of the furniture by guarding it against direct sunlight, temperature extremes and excessive/deficient moisture levels. Unfortunately, emails and calls to customer service render no redress of the substandard quality of their products. The furniture is virtually unusable as the material peeling from the furniture sticks to anyone or anything that comes into contact with it.

Purchased two chair on Memorial Weekend. Delivery would be in 2 weeks. I called customer service 24 hours prior to advise I could not be at home and if I could reschedule. Customer service advised they could not give me another reschedule date that I would have to call back in 48 hours. I asked if they could call me back and the customer service rep laughed and proceeded to say, "they're not gonna call you back." I asked why she thought it was funny. No answer and I was disconnected. I called the sales rep who sold me the furniture to advise of my experience to which he apologized and advised I would need to go through customer service. OK, that's fine.
I called back 48 hours later to reschedule deliver and the CS rep advised I have to call back on Monday that my account is "locked"(?) Locked? I called back the sales rep and inquired and he did not know what "locked" meant and advised he would call on my behalf. He called me back to advise that since my chairs had to be unloaded - it is now locked. He spoke to the ops manager and assured me that the mgr would call me back to schedule a deliver date. No call.
Next day, I called and sales rep advised that the mgr did call but I did not answer. I had my cell phone with me the entire day and asked did he leave a voicemail. No. And still no deliver date. 3 1/2 weeks later. Nothing. The sales rep called and apologized and advised that he will ensure I get a delivery date. I advised, don't. I want to cancel the entire order. He said call customer service. I called, cancelled the order and refund can only be a corporate check since I paid via debit card. It will be mailed in 7 to 10 business days. 3 weeks later, no check.

Let me warn you all right now, do not ever, ever buy from Rooms to Go and definitely don't get extended warranty! We bought a couch and two love seats from them. The couch is holding up okay. The cushions don't stay on it but at least it is still in one piece and not worn out cushion or material wise. The love seats have automatic recliners. Two on each love seat! What a great idea, push a button to control your recline. Had them delivered and within a couple weeks. The padding on the foot rest was warn down completely! Called service and they sent out a very rude man who got down and looked at it then fluffed it and said, "There, should be fine now."
Hmm, okay, so I have to fluff it daily? Didn't tell us that in the store. Okay, cushion on seat of the love seat is wearing out way too fast. Just a couple months in and we had rude service man back out. Yup you guessed it, he fluffed and left. We have had them out maybe five times in the past year trying to relay to them that there is something wrong and it's wearing out way too fast. Their reply is that we are too hard on it. Hmm, mature adults only sitting in the chairs. Is it for display only? Dick's chair started to catch when it reclined. A guy came out and used a file-- that's right a file! On the wood where it was hitting and filed off a good inch or more so it would catch any more. Let's see, if it is catching that means something in the mechanics is out of whack, right? Nope. I just carved away the wood. I guess if it happens too many times he will have to saw clean through the wood to fix it.
At last visit, we had someone tell us that we couldn't return the furniture because they could not take it back. It was in too bad a shape and they couldn't resell it! Do you get that? So if your furniture breaks and needs replaced, it better be in great shape, basically in store floor condition to get it replaced. The stuffing on my foot rest is now sticking out of the foot rest about 8 inches. We have called the store manager. The service department for all of Rooms to Go, extended warranty people, and many many more people who kept us keep sending us to someone else. I don't see us getting anywhere with this store! I see me tearing it apart and trying to fix it myself so we can at least have furniture until it is completely paid off!
If you read this, please! Please! Pass it on to everyone you know! This is not an exaggeration. If anything, I probably have missed several things, but you get the idea. One last thing, we were just told that any cat scratches on furniture voids the warranty. That's right. Just one claw mark or cat scratch and they don't have to fix your furniture, even if the problem is no where near a scratch! Sherry just got off the phone with them. She asked for a supervisor but they offered to call her back. We have had that promise before so she said she would hold. They would not let her. She had to tell her problems to the person on the line and would not be directed to a supervisor at all! We are not done paying for furniture that we now figure we will have to try to repair ourselves, if possible. We cannot afford to buy new and are stuck with junk for a very long time.

Rude and nasty customer service, they were so confident that they were the only contact that I could make that they all but hung up in my face. They did not try to resolve me concerns about being charged a late fee when I stipulated on my application the terms I expected. I paid the amount, got mad and decided I would close the account. When I called back to inquire about the process for closing the account, I was told that I would be reported to the credit bureau. I informed her that I was not refusing to pay off the account. I just merely wanted to receive the final bill to pay in full, she retracted and conceded that it was within my rights to do so. This is a joke at the highest level. No form of professionalism exists, not to even mention that there is an absolute absence of customer service. I was charged a $39 late fee.

On 6/13/10, my wife and I purchased a couch, loveseat, three tables, and a dining room table with four chairs from RTG for $4000. They had a backorder status on the tables and couldn't deliver until 7/3. No problem, I understand that. Well, after going through their hoops for delivery, I called them like five times to confirm we will be home on the scheduled date and at the four-hour window. Like, where else would I be after paying $4K? But I digress… The truck finally shows up. Yay! They proceed to unload and oddly enough, they were missing one of the dining chairs and instead had some crazy-looking chair instead. Obviously the wrong thing.
Well, long story short, the chair wasn't on the truck. The driver apologized and told me that RTG messed up and that they would have to deliver the chair later. He told me since it was RTG’s mistake, then they would handle it and would call me immediately and I could pick the time and date of delivery. Well, he told me a little white lie. I had to call CS and ask about the chair. They then told me it couldn't be delivered for 2 weeks and standard delivery applies: 4-hour window, must verify you're home, etc. Great. I’m a prisoner for another Saturday due to their error. Waste of my time. Love RTG. Beware.

I purchased around $3,000 worth of furniture including a bedroom set that also came with a plasma TV as a "promotion." To this day, a month later, I have not received it. It is absurd to think that your company does not ship the TV at the time of the invoice, which was paid in full. To start, I had to go pick up my own furniture from the store 2 miles from Mexico as the outrageous delivery cost to both the store and to my home was seemingly stacked on top of each other. I was told by your corporate customer service representatives to "call back in 12-14 days and get a tracking number." I am currently getting the run-around between "they will call you back" and "that’s out of our control." Corporate blames it on the store, the store is blaming it on corporate.
The managers are incompetent at best and are extremely rude. Even putting in a complaint takes 30 minutes. Somewhere along the line, your "automated system" failed to put in the order and the warranty on the TV was not invoiced at the time of my purchase. The managers say they can’t fix it as "that’s simply out of our control, its the automated systems fault." Corporate can’t fix it as "that’s the store managers not putting in the order." Finally, 4 weeks and roughly 6 phone calls to both customer service and the store itself, your rude manager at your McAllen, TX (Arturo **) store tells me that the TV should be shipped in the next week and will take 14 more days for me to receive it.
I have attempted to file complaints via your customer service department and have seemingly run into agents that deflect the situation into turning the situation on me! I am appalled to hear that Rooms to Go won’t upgrade the TV or try and rectify your error in any way. By purchasing my furniture from Rooms To Go, we entered into an agreement and understanding that the products, which I have paid in full for, will be received on a timely basis.
This is unacceptable. As a customer of Rooms To Go, I am asking for some sort of attempt to rectify this problem. A "sorry, man, that’s all I can do" simply will not do. I tried to get this issue resolved with your store manager, with only a "nope, no, I can't help you" and "this is the only action we are going to take, your just going to have to wait" and "there’s nothing more I can do." I was also told that "those corporate people are just customer service representatives, they don’t know what goes on at the store." After deciding to send you this email, I called back and asked for the manager's name and phone number so that I can include it in a formal complaint and was asked for my name, then was hung up on. What kind of customer service/business is Rooms To Go comprised of? It is a shame that a company's reputation can be destroyed by a few bad managers and customer service representatives, or is this what comprises Rooms To Go?

They said it was fine as long as he was 18, which he was. They never said he had to show ID.
On the day of the delivery while I am waiting for my mom to get out of surgery, they called and said they will be there in 15 minutes. I said that was fine and inquired why they called my cell phone instead of the house phone and asked if they had called the house phone, which they had not. I told them I was at the hospital, but my son was there. Now, the driver said he has to prove he is 18 without even seeing my son and refused to go to the house and deliver the furniture. My husband said he would drive home but it would take 30 minutes, which of course they refused.
I called the store and said I would come and get my money back, but they said since I paid with my debit card, which of course has been subtracted from my account, I would have to wait for corporate to send me a check. So I can't even go buy furniture some place else, until they decide to send me a check.

I asked to change the chair to a different color (it came in 5 colors) and was told all colors were back ordered until August. I checked the website a week later and found that all the chairs (except the one I originally ordered) were available. I called 3 different customer service reps and asked that my chair color be changed because delivery was scheduled in the next couple of days. All reps told me that I had to speak to my original sales person. She was not working, so I called her store and asked another sales agent to help me. I got the same response. How can a major store chain be unable to change an item number in an order? Ridiculous. I had to wait another week for the new chair to be delivered after I finally reached my sales agent.
To add insult to injury, when the furniture was delivered, the brackets to hold the mirror on the dresser did not come. So, the mirror sat on the floor for over a week. When the brackets were delivered in the mail, they did not fit. Two of the holes on each bracket did not line up with the pre-drilled holes on the mirror. Being sick and tired of waiting for Rooms to Go to fix the problems. My husband (who is a good handy man) added two holes to each bracket. When we tightened the screws into the mirror with hardware provided by Rooms to Go, the screw broke through the front of the mirror and splintered the wood. Rooms to Go has blamed me and said they will not repair the mirror because it's "customer damaged." If Rooms to Go had gotten my order right on their first three tries, I would not have taken steps to remedy the problem on my own. I will never shop at Rooms 2 Go again!

I purchased a living room set in June 2008. The item looked better in the store. Once the furniture was delivered, I noticed the fabric wasn't that great. It marred easily and if you were to even spill water, it would stain. The cushions on the sofa and love seat were quite firm for a few months and after that, they were soft and felt too worn.
When I flipped the cushions to the other side so that they could have even worn, I noticed that the structure of the sofa was poorly made. I also purchased the accent chair and the foot fell off the first time I rearranged my furniture. After paying almost $2000 for this set, I was highly upset with the poor craftsmanship and quality. I am now very unhappy with my set and want to purchase a new set but I don't know what to do about this one. I will never purchase anything from there again.

When I called warranty department, they told me that they ordered cushion for the chase also at the same time ordered 2 cushions. This couch is garbage and embarrassing. I also purchased 3-year warranty for protection, which cost about $100.00, plus force-field bottle, and when or I should say if they send cushions, it won't be protected with chemical stuff use at warehouse. Also, I have to have an engineer or tech come out to install cushions because it's the kind of sofa that is glued to frame. Does the company expect you to buy a sofa every 4 months? It's not even paid for yet. Representatives at warranty department keep lying to me about the delivery of replacement cushions. I don't have proof or do they give you a request no. They don't contact you and refuse to give refund or exchange. I never had a problem with other furniture companies. There should be a class action suit.

On April 10, 2010, my husband and I went to Rooms to Go as they were having their clearance sale. We were immediately greeted by a gentleman, who by the way was excellent. Once we finally found the bedroom set we wanted, we said we wanted to order it. Well, unfortunately the sales rep informed us that the set was out of stock and we would have to wait until June 3, 2010 to get our furniture. We were told that if we paid for the bedroom set that day right then and there, we would be guaranteed our set on June 3, 2010.
Approximately a week and half before June 3, 2010, I received an automated telephone call informing me to be home on June 3, 2010 so that my bedroom set can be delivered. I was supposed to receive a phone call two days before the delivery date but that didn't happen. In fact, I received one on June 2, 2010. The call informed me that my bedroom set will not be available until some time after June 8th 2010. While already waiting two months, I was extremely upset. The customer service rep kept repeating, "It's the manufacturers fault, the night stands are out of stock."
As a customer that was guaranteed a delivery date of June 3, 2010 for all of my purchase, I am upset and disappointed with Rooms to Go. While I tried to negotiate with them, they were being extremely unreasonable. Although it was their fault for not living up to their word and giving me what I rightfully paid for, they still do not want to do anything to try and make the situation better. Rooms to Go needs to realize that the more customers that are wronged, the less customers they will have.
Finally after speaking to a manager and never receiving a call back, I called them back. I asked for my money to be refunded and they said I would be penalized 20% of the purchase price. I had asked that I not be penalized since this incidence was Rooms to Go's fault and not mine. The manager promised to call me back but failed to do that as well. I called back again, just to find out that they wouldn't refund me 100% of the purchase price. While I was disappointed, there was really nothing I could do. I don't want to risk losing 20% of my purchase, as it is somewhat of a large amount. I figured if I have to wait for the nightstands, I might as well wait for the bed, dresser and mirror. When I called the store back to request that, they informed that the bed, dresser, and mirror had already been loaded onto the truck. So, now I am stuck with a mix-matching bedroom until June 10th. Oh yeah, that's when I will hopefully be getting my nightstands, not earlier.

I have a problem with Rooms to Go that many other people may be able to relate to. I bought a couch and love seat in June 2008. The salesman sold me an extended warranty which included replacement of the couch if there was ever a stain they could not remove. That ended up being the least of my problems. When the first technician came out, he told me to go to Home Depot and buy a special cleaner there. I still could not get the stain out. It's "like" velour material so it gets a water stain around the area that gets wet. So any cleaning made it worse. I called them and explained that it didn't work and they said they would bring a new panel for that spot although there were other spots that were not addressed. Meanwhile, they never brought the panel in during the next 2 or 3 visits. I told them that the salesman said they would replace the couch if "they" could not clean it. They never even tried to clean it and told me that is just what the salesman says to make a deal and that no one ever gets a replacement couch. I did not worry about the other spots because I was told I would get a new couch.
I had been very happy with the furniture and we only have adults in the house so it was never abused. When they came out the first time to look at the stain and look at the right recliner which was broken, the technician used a mallet to bang on it and said it needed to be replaced. (He left the mallet at my home). Without any notice a huge piece was delivered to my home. I called RTG and they said they would send a technician out to install it. (We had no idea they had to replace the inside of the recliner.) A gentleman named Jack came out and worked about five hours in our living room. He worked very hard and seemed to do a very good job, but when he left, I sat in it and reclined and the arm separated from the couch. Even though I sat in it when he finished and it seemed fine.
I called again and they were supposed to call 20 minutes before coming out but the guy called from the driveway and said he could not wait 10-15 minutes for me to get home. He said he would set it up for another call but no one ever called. The arm on the broken side has no stuffing in it either and the wood between the recliner and the table that comes down is very painful to lie on. After much frustration, I called again to get the broken recliner fixed. By that point, I was very upset and disappointed with the couch and it was suggested that I request a reselect, to pick out another couch. My problem is that it matches the love seat so we would like to get another one like it, less all the problems.
The 4th time I called to try to get them back, I spoke to Pat at the service center and explained that I wanted a reselect because this has been going on for so long (they keep saying it's fixed and it's not). Now my extended warranty that I paid for is running out in two weeks. She said she would send a technician out to look at it and then she could make a determination. Well, I'm sure these technicians are trained to come out and say everything is fine. My husband was here and said he worked on it and replaced something that "fell" off. I got home from work and sat in it and reclined and thought for a moment that it was repaired, but when I got out of the recliner, the bottom portion went lopsided. I got up and could rock the bottom portion of the recliner about 8-12 inches in either direction. The other side is solid. The broken side can be rocked so much that it is no longer part of the couch at all.
What it gets down to is that I am a very dissatisfied customer who has been lied to so many times that I can't count them all. Is Rooms to Go going to honor their promise to replace a completely broken couch or am I going to have to take this further? We spent our hard earned money on this furniture and expected it to last more than 18 months. We desperately need some help from someone who has the authority to take action. I called the store again because it would be great to have the same technician come out and tell me that the couch in now repaired. I will show him how it is not connected properly to the rest of the couch and he will just add more nails.
I do not want more nails, nuts and bolts or whatever he wants to do to it. I do not feel comfortable in this couch anymore and feel that someone could be injured trying to get in and out of it as it is. If Rooms to Go cannot honor their word then I will be sure to let the Better Business Bureau know what we have gone through and now that the warranty is going out, Rooms to Go just keeps taking time up by sending out technicians that say it is fixed when it is not. I would love to have a technician come out today after the other technician has been out and have them tell me that they would want this couch in their living room and would want their family to use it.
Like I said, I have been dealt with in a very unsatisfactory way and would like to get this resolved to my liking. I understand that you probably have many unhappy customers who have to deal with such things, but I will be sure to let all the proper authorities know what has occurred. I have severe health problems with cancer in the past few years, a knee replacement and arthritis throughout my body. This one bit of comfort means a great deal to me.I pray that this letter is getting to the person who can help me. Being the sole supporter of our family makes this very important. My husband is diabetic and is extremely limited in what he can do. He is now disabled. My son is in college and we have a difficult time getting by on my salary so it's not like we can just go out and get another couch, which is one reason I bought a service agreement which I usually don't buy.
Please be the one to help us. I wish I could send you a film of how the couch is now. It would be an embarrassment to Rooms to Go at this time. I called the store I bought it from and asked if they could get in touch with the corporate office to have someone come out and look at it again. Like I said, I've been dealing with this for months, but just found out that my extended warranty is almost up and I still have not received any satisfaction. I will send this letter to the Better Business Bureau and whoever else will help me advocate for proper treatment, if I do not get satisfactory relief by the end of this week. The couch is now in worse shape than it ever was and this technician said he fixed it. My extended warranty is up in two weeks and none of it has been honored. Please help us.

I purchased my daughter a new bedroom set from Rooms To Go. The furniture was delivered damaged. The top draw of her dresser was split in half. It was poorly put together. The wood connecting the mirror was shabby and cracked up the middle. Her media stand was off balance, so bad it leaned to one side. What bothered me the most was that the delivery guys felt that was okay and left before I could notice the damages. I went back to the store. I fully/cash paid for it and complained. I was at that time informed they could not help me but to call customer service before 12 because it is a Saturday. I even tried to show the manager pictures of the damage and he would not look at them.
I called customer service and got no farther than if I stayed at the store. The rep named Pat told me the only thing she could do for me was send a tech out 2 weeks from today to visualize the problem and maybe fix it. I told her that was not acceptable. I want a new set. She informed me I could not get a new set but a dresser 1 week from today and I also have to keep the mirror that was scratched up from the delivery guys trying to peel a long sticker off that should not have been there on the mirror. Everyone knows a sticker on a mirror is not a good idea. Eventually the Rep hung the phone up on me because I asked her how would she feel if she paid for a product and it was brought to her damaged? Well, Pat, the rep, was not such a good help and as for Rooms to Go, you have lost all my business. My daughter was so upset because she had to sleep in the other room and she noticed how someone can do you wrong and not care.

Why do they let Rooms To Go still be open? Everything that I have bought from them has been a bad product. I bought (2) couches; the feet are broken and the leathers are torn or scratched. The bed room furniture; all drawers have a problem; the hardware stinks, all plastic; the rail for the headboard and feet broke in the middle (just glued together by two pieces of wood). The mirrors are loose in high boy. Really, you probably get better furniture at the Goodwill. All their furniture is junk. Their service and tech people are all con men.

I purchased a couch and love seat set from the Lexington SC Rooms To Go store. After having the couch for 4 months, the left seat started to sink in. I had the service tech come out in April 2010. The tech advised me that the reclining mechanism was bent and was causing the problem with the couch. The tech advised me that it was a defect in the mechanism. The tech advised me that the part would be ordered that week and it would take a week to come in; then he would come back to install the new part. He also advised me that if I didn't receive a call within two weeks, to call customer service and ask when the part would be in.
I called on May 10th and the person I talked to said the part had been ordered and should be in soon. On May 18th, I called again because no one had called me. This time, the customer service person advised me that the part was ordered on April 21st. She also sent the tech an email asking what's happening with the part. She also told me she would call me back to let me know what's happening. After a few days went by with no call, I called back on May 21st. The customer service person advised me that the part was ordered on May 18th and there were no other notes about the email or what's happening. I asked her if all the calls were recorded and she advised me they were. She also told me that the part being broken was due to the customer misuse. I was told first that it was a defect. She did say that it is still being covered as a defect part.
I feel that this is not good customer satisfaction due to the fact that they have been lying to me and forgetting to order the part. Also, they can't tell me when my couch will be fixed. I asked them to rush the part order because they forgot to order the part and for lying to me, plus that it has been a month and a half since the tech came out. The couch I have now won't recline and if you sit on the left side, you sink into the corner like a spring is broken. The set was $3000 and has a great manufacturer warranty but the customer service at Rooms To Go is not up to par.

In January, I ordered an end table and coffee table. At that time, I was made well aware that the items were on back order and could not be delivered until March. At the store, the representative set a tentative delivery date for March. When the March delivery date rolled around, I was called the day before and told that the items would not be delivered until April. At that point in time, I was not given any option for a delivery date. The April delivery day was on a week day between 7AM and 11AM (which of course is when most reasonable human being with a job are at work). When I called to try and reschedule, I was told that I either had to stick with that date, or I would not receive my items (which I had already paid for in full) until May.
When I explained that I could not be home at that time, nor could I have anyone at my home to receive the furniture, the customer service representative managed to set up a way for the delivery people to drop of the furniture with the help of the management of my gated community. Later that very same day, I received another automated call telling me that pieces of my furniture would not be delivered until May. All that trouble was for only one end table. Again, I was never given the option to set up the delivery date, and again, they scheduled it for a week day while I was at work. My call telling me the date and time said that it would be delivered between "7AM and 10PM." Upon calling customer service again and trying to set up a more accurate time frame when I could possibly take off from work, I was told that the four hour time frame was all they could give me. Any person with a basic understanding of addition and subtraction will tell you that 7AM to 10PM is not a four hour time frame.
I then tried to set up the previous arrangement with the company and management from my community and was told by Rooms to Go that it was not allowable. If they were allowed to do it last time, why not this time? Because this conversation took place on the delivery date (because they didn't call me until after service hours the day before), I was told that I either had to leave work immediately because the delivery people would be there within an hour, or I would have to wait until July to have it delivered. I was then informed that I had no right to claim the furniture as my own (recall that the cost had already been deducted from my account in full) and that it would go to the next customer if I did not accept it that day. I managed to take off from work, show up just in time to meet the delivery people, and when they unloaded the rest of my order, my table was scratched. I would have to set up another delivery date to have it replaced. The company had the stupidity to call me after the fact and ask how my delivery went. I lost valuable sick leave from work because they did not bother to follow their own policy of setting up a delivery date with the customer. If I use all my sick leave before a particular date, I lose pay.

My son purchased from "Rooms To Go", a dining set in March of this year.

It was a complete negligence on their part. My son has made numerous attempts to contact both parties to resolve this problem, but they have chosen to ignore him.
I think it was criminal offense of them to behave in this "non-caring", "past-the-buck" manner. He did business with them in good faith, yet they treated him as if he was lying. I was there and I saw what they did to his floors. The delivery man told him to report it and it would be taken care of right away. They are responsible for correcting this problem in a timely manner. They hired the the moving company, not my son. The name on that delivery truck and trailer was "Room To Go".
Now he is told after nearly two months, it is being handed over to the insurance. Another delay. Boy, they really know how to screw over there customers. New wooden floors in living room badly scared. The estimate to remove and replace the floors is approximately $4,000. This estimate was given by the people who sold and installed the orginal floors.

My Fiance and I purchased a bedroom suite and queen size mattress from Rooms To Go back in June of 2009. When they delivered it they did not have the headboard in stock so we had to wait 6 weeks for the headboard to be delivered. On the day they were supposed to deliver the headboard, the delivery guys said they could not deliver it because it was broken, so we had to wait another 6 weeks for the new headboard to get to our home. When they finally did deliver and set up our new bed, the delivery guys set up our bed wrong by not putting a center support underneath the bed causing our mattress to break down sooner than it should.
We called "customer service" and requested a service technician to come out and look at the problem. The tech is the one who told us there was a piece missing from our bed and he went out to his van and made us some center support and nailed it to the bottom of our center slats that hold our box spring in. The mattress warranty states that if the bed is not set up properly with adequate support, it voids the warranty.
We called "customer service" yet again and they told us the 1.5 inch body prints that are in our mattress are within the manufacturers specifications as far as normal wear and tear! She did decide to send us "new center slats" and the support that is supposed to hold it up, well all we got were some unfinished 1 x 4 pieces of wood with no places for the hardware to hold them in place and we did not receive the support beams that are supposed to go under them to hold the weight as promised.
So now we have a mattress that is prematurely breaking down, center slats that are ruined and a bedspring that is bowed and 4 pieces of wood they sent us that will not help us in any way! All for the great price of $2800.00! We decided to go to the actual store where we bought the furniture and speak with the manager. We spoke to the assistant manager and he seemed as though he is going to try to help, probably just to get us out of his store and away from his new customers or "victims" as I feel they will be treated just as poorly as we have been.

I am one to tell people when I have gotten good service, but I also tell them when I have not, and RTG has lost at least 3 sales due to our complaints to friends. To bad for them!
Another thing. We bought a loveseat for a spare room. Within 3 months, you could not even sit in it. It broken down to the point that there were indentations in the cushions (no we do not weigh that much to have caused this to happen), so no refund on that either. We got a store credit and picked out as many home accessories as the credit was worth. Well, when we got the pictures home, they are bowed. When they delivered the console, they put it up against a wall.
About 21/2 months ago, all of a sudden, the middle shelf was hanging down. Come to find out, the ears on the back of the shelf were completely broken off, and over time it just couldn't hold itself up any longer. The tech came out, he ordered a new shelf. When it arrived, it was also broken. We have just now received the 2nd one. So far it looks okay. Now, he will be out April 16th. So let's see, 3 months to get that repaired, which is a surprise in itself that they are even doing anything about it.

I ordered California Cottage table with matching chairs. Rooms-to-Go furniture is so incredibly cheaply made. I had a plant on the table where some water had leaked and now the table is warped. The finish is easily scratched by a mere plastic button. The slightest scratch shows wood. I will never buy from them again.

A table, chairs and television cabinet were ordered and paid for in advance. The table and chairs were delivered on 3/10, with no table legs and one chair broken. On 3/12, they returned with another table with legs and a replacement chair. After the delivery people left, the replacement chair was sat in and a brace cracked (same problem as chair returned). Customer service advised that it would be 2 weeks before someone would be out to inspect and they would call.
The order for the back ordered television cabinet was cancelled. They advised they would be charging a 20% restocking charge for this out of stock item. We were told the only way we would not be charged the 20% was if the store manager processed it. The store manager would not return repeated calls and messages left. They did refund less 20% 2 weeks later. 2 1/2 weeks later at 6:30 AM, the phone rang to advise a technician was there to inspect the chair. We had not received any prior information for this and declined to meet the technician downstairs in our high rise building. We will attempt to repair this ourselves. I have never received worse service from a company and I’m telling everyone I know to not buy anything from Rooms To Go.

We purchased a set of King Size mattresses and box springs in July of 2006. Only after the promise from the sales rep that this very expensive mattress would last us 10-15 maybe even 20 years with no sagging. We paid $2000.00 for the mattresses plus we had to purchase a liner just in case we should ever have any problems with the mattress, as without this liner, they would not take them back if there were any stains on the mattresses. It has now been almost 3 years and these mattresses are HORRIBLE! When you sit on them you sink down low and even slide down while sleeping and my back is killing me! We've turned them every which way, even sideways to try to alleviate any further sagging, all to no avail.
I called RTG only to be told they would have to send a "technician" out to verify the "damage" and that appointment could not be made for another 30 days because "they only come to Fairview, TN twice a month". So I waited. Finally, on March 25th, "Joe" shows up- nice guy but all he did was take a piece of string, throw it over the mattresses and measured the "dip" that was evident. That's it! He didn't sit on the bed to see how far down you sink and even after I told him he should do that (five times), he didn't. He then left.
So, today, March 26th, I get a call from RTG Customer Service, I was not able get the ladies name, as she sounded like she was reading her diagnosis off of a cue card and she said that per the manufactures specs, the mattresses had to show a significant dip of 2 inches, so there was nothing she would do. I told her I knew this was going to happen and that I would just call corporate and she stated she was corporate and that's the way it is handled. I told her I have had problems before w/ RTG (they delivered our entertainment center broken) before and had to call corporate and she asked me who I spoke with and I told her I was not at home to get that paperwork but that I would call her back and then the line went dead and the lady never called me back. So, I will call corporate but I'm sure (after reading all these other problems w/ RTG) I will get no where. I am so mad, we cannot go around paying $2000.00 every three years on new mattresses!

I purchased a dining table and 8 chairs a year ago. Last week, a cloud appeared on the finish of the table. I called a technician came, said customer service would call since he could not fix it. He sprayed something on the table and wiped it off. Customer service called today to tell me that the tech reported that it was in home damage and Rooms to Go would not do anything about it. I asked if they would not honor the warranty and was told that their warranty only covered manufacturers defects. An expensive lesson learned, do not do business with such a trashy organization. I wish I had known what a sleazy store Rooms to Go is. I am stuck with a damaged table.

We just purchased both a bedroom and living room package from Rooms To Go and spent close to $4,000 on both packages. Both packages included a free TV. When we placed the order, the living room package was on backorder until 3/18/10 which we agreed to and they told us the TV would not arrive for that package until after we picked up all the living room furniture pieces. The bedroom set was delivered on 3/5/10 and we have been waiting over 2 weeks and no 32" TV. The salesman said it would arrive within 5-10 days of furniture delivery and to call if we had not received it within 14 days. I called the 1-800 number to Best Buy (who is supplying the televisions for this promotion) and they told me they didn't even have an order for me. I spoke to Customer Service at Rooms To Go and have yet to get an answer to where my TV is for that Bedroom package.
If that was not a nightmare enough, our Living Room package was supposed to be picked up on 3/18/10 by my son with his truck, but he wasn't able to pick it up before they closed that Thursday, so we called to see if we could pick it up the next day. I was informed that my paid for merchandise had been put back into inventory and I would have to wait another 2 weeks to get my stuff. I got really upset and told the lady (Amanda) that was just not right and it was my merchandise and she then informed me that it was in fact mine that they have claim of the furniture until it is physically in my hands and they can sell it to someone else (especially if it is a high demand item) even if I am one day late picking it up and have paid for it in full. She said my name wasn't on the furniture (in a real smart** way) and that I needed to calm down. That is the way they do business on open inventory items.
Needless to say, we are ****** at this company with whom we've bought numerous furniture pieces over the years. Never again! Also, just to warn other buyers, if you are ordering any package that includes the 50" TV, don't expect to get all your furniture at once. They will deliberately hold a piece back just so they have additional time to process all the TV orders. You cannot receive your TV until everything has been delivered in your package. They are still holding our Ottoman that showed it was in stock online and when I called, but conveniently it was on backorder until May 8, 2010 for my Living Room package. So, we won't get our TV for that until probably 2 weeks after that. These people have balls!

I ordered leather reclining sofa from Rooms To Go, was delivered co days later. The sofa had no transformer to plug motors into, thus the sofa did not work (you would think someone would have checked while loading onto truck). The driver told me to get the transformer from the store. I contacted the store and they don't have transformers. One of two electric controls was also misaligned. The driver told me a tech would be in touch (no time line). I called the store to complain and a female employee told me to wait until a follow up call from corporate office (supposed to be made on each delivery) and let them know the problem. I tried speaking to the store manager, Tammy. She was off and they had no one else in charge (other than sales dept). While I had the same girl on the phone, I told her I was not going to wait indefinitely for someone to call and asked what I should do. She suggested sending it back. Fortunately, the delivery guys were still in the neighborhood so I told them to take back the sofa.
I tracked down corporate office and spoke to customer service (3 times), and was told company does not offer refunds. I then explained I don't even have the sofa. After one more call, I got a supervisor who promised me a new sofa. I never did get the customer survey call so I would still be waiting had I not taken the initiative to contact them. I write this as I wait for the delivery. There is no promised time as this was an "add on" (I guess I am supposed to feel special). I am taking the entire day off work, there was no call and no sofa thus far. I will not step foot in Rooms To Go in the future.

On 8/9/2008 I went into the store and purchased a living room set that was $2,371.00 thinking that the store would be honest. A few weeks after having the furniture, I felt like I was cheated because the furniture that was brought to home was not the same furniture in the show room. There was not enough cushion/foam on the arms of the love seat and the chair. The wood was protruding through the fabric. And underneath the cushions, the cover that covers the springs was dirty and you could see the nails and gains of dirt. The springs already had left indentations marks.
A month later, a sales representative came out and give me some ** about me leaning so long on the arm. That was some **. I have had furniture before to know there was not enough cushion/foam on the arms especially if I felt the wood. A week or 2 later, they replaced the furniture with more used furniture. A few later, the same thing happened, I'm sitting on wood. The cushion inside the pillow are different. Its more cushion/foam in some than it is in others. You can see the wood protruding through.
The ottoman hurts if you sit there too long and the cushion/foam is completely gone. To top it off, I have no kids staying with me. Its just me and my boyfriend that's here and rarely home to lounge on the furniture. So it can't be said that my children is playing on the furniture because that would be a lie. Rooms to go ripped me off with selling me cheap and used furniture that's not the same as the showroom furniture. My hard earned money wasted. I will never shop there again.

On February 7th, 2010 we purchased a Tempurpedic set for our king sized rice bed. We told them repeatedly that it was rice bed; they said it would not be a problem. It was delivered on 2/09/2010. The casters were too short. We called on 2/10/2010 and they said it would be 30 days before they could send someone out. It was supposed to be 10 in.
When they were delivered they were also 6 in. We have asked several times for them to get the legs. It is now March 17, 2010--still no legs. We have asked them to pick up the set and give us our money back and they keep giving us the run a round. Since they have not carried out the customer satisfaction, what can be done about this? Our bed is high and the casters underneath do not look right since a bed skirt is not an option. My husband would like to talk to the attorney with all details.

My husband and I recently moved to South Carolina, into our first home. Excited to decorate it, we thought we had found a great sectional at a reasonable price at Rooms To Go. We ordered the furniture on January 9. Delivery came on January 30th. The wedge portion of the sectional was warped and rocked backwards when you would sit on it. The delivery man noticed it and immediately called it in to the store to order a new one. The second wedge arrived on February 16th.
The same delivery men brought the piece in and noticed immediately that it was also rocking. At this time, customer service stated that they would send out a service technician. The technician arrived a week later and tried to rearrange the legs to see if that was the problem. That didn’t work. He left. I was then called and told that the head of the service technicians thought he could fix it and would be coming to my house later that week. That man came and took down the netting underneath to look inside, which the other guy didn’t think to do, and thought he knew what the problem was, but it wasn’t something he could fix.
He called and ordered a 3rd wedge! The wedge arrived today, March 16th; same delivery men, same problem. I called and was told that they could either swap it out a fourth time or we could go in and pick out another sectional! I went to the store to talk to someone in person. I was told the same thing, but this lady told me she would have them deliver the wedge to the store so I wouldn’t be inconvenienced by staying at home waiting for a delivery. I could come in and look at it, and if it was fine, I could have that one. I agreed, but then she said that I would have to find a way to take it home if it was working properly. I do not have a car big enough to take it home!
So she said she would see if they could work out a "special delivery". I then received a phone call from her saying that they can't exchange it until they have the wedge from my house, and asked if I could go home and try and fit it in my car and bring it to the store! I then called the corporate offices and got the same answers, “Try a fourth wedge or exchange the furniture!” I don't want either! I don't want their bad furniture in my house! This has been a total inconvenience. I have had 5 days now where I had to sit at home for my "time frame of delivery" and wait, besides the fact that we haven’t been able to use that portion of the sectional! Totally unacceptable!

My wife and I went in and bought a bedroom suite for our 4-year-old. We bought the Tennessee bedroom suite that any TN native that is a boy would want. It was a trundle bed with a big UT logo on it with storage underneath it. We paid almost $1600 for the bed with storage under it, a dresser and mirror combo, and a nightstand and a UT comforter. When they delivered it, well, the bed had no storage.
I called the store. They told me I needed to call Wayne, my salesman; so I did. He told me "Sorry. Rooms To Go has a "can't do anything" policy." I called corporate, and they said the same thing. My wife and I were lied to by Wayne, the sorry salesman, who apparently needed the commission pretty bad to lie about it. When I told them I would return the whole bedroom, they said that would be fine. Then they would have the bedroom suite and your money.
Basically, we are stuck living with a lie told by a two-bit salesman who has no pride and works for a sorry company with the same principles. RTG will never see another dime from me, and I will tell the world to stay away! They are a horrible company which should be investigated.

On 1/26/10, I purchased a living room set that came with a TV and an entertainment center as part of a deal for $2,744.06 (financed through Rooms to Go. Delivery date was set for 2/20/10, which surprised me as their advertisements make it sound like the delivery dates are much quicker. But I liked the furniture and agreed to wait. On 2/20/10, the furniture delivered, but the entertainment center was missing the hardware needed to assemble it so the delivery people left the large, heavy glass and metal pieces (plus cardboard and Styrofoam packaging) on my living room floor and told me I would need to contact Customer Care.
I called immediately and was told that the hardware would need to be ordered and delivered to my home address and then I would have to schedule appointment for a technician to come by and assemble the entertainment center. On 2/21/10, the flat screen TV arrived from Best Buy, but it is not working correctly. The delivery people say I will have to contact Best Buy to exchange it within 30 days. Rooms to Go is telling me that this is not their problem even though the TV was part of the package deal I purchased from them. On 2/27/10, the hardware was delivered to my home.
I called Customer Care and talked to Consuelo who said she would call me on Monday to see if she could have a technician come out the next Saturday to assemble the entertainment center. On 3/1/10, Consuelo from customer care called me back and said the technician will come by on Saturday, 3/6, to assemble the entertainment center.
On 3/4/10, Rooms to Go left me a voicemail canceling Saturday appointment and asked that I call to set another date. I called Customer Care and talked to Vanessa this time, and after expressing my displeasure with their service, she called me back and said someone from the nearby Pineville, NC store will come by on Saturday, 3/6/10, to assemble the entertainment center. She could not give me a time or window of time so I told her I would take off from work and wait. On 3/6/10, no one from Rooms to Go called or showed up. I was home all day and night. I was so upset that evening that I emailed a Ms. ** who is the vice president of something there and filed a complaint.
On 3/8/10, I received an email in the morning from Ms. ** apologizing for all the inconvenience and she would work to resolve the problem. By 4:30 pm, I had not heard anything from Rooms to Go so I called Customer Care again and talked to Jeremy who informed me that my situation was now in the hands of Ms. ** and they, at Customer Care, could no longer deal with my problems with their service.
The large pieces of metal and glass are still sitting on my living room floor. I have tripped over them twice and now my pets are starting to chew on the Styrofoam packaging. I have no place to store these pieces and I am concerned if I try to move them and break something, I will be responsible for the damage including injuring myself as these pieces are extremely heavy (it took two delivery men to bring it into my home). I have already filed a complaint with the BBB of West Florida.

We purchased a mattress set from Rooms To Go one year ago. The mattresses came with a 10-20 years warranty from the manufacturer. It's a Sealy mattress set! Sealy has a website that tells what their warranty covers. One part is sagging! I complained to Rooms To Go about the mattress sagging. They sent a technician out. He came in and placed a plum line across the mattress. He took measurements from the mattress to the plum line in three spots. One was in the pillow area, where we uses pillows and never lay directly on the mattress. And the other two areas were where he chose. Not taking measurements from both sides of the mattress and where I was trying to point out where the mattress was sagging the most.
He went back to Rooms To Go and reported that the mattress was being used for normal use, and sagging no more than 1 inch. They say it have to be at least 1 and 1/2 inch! The only thing is that he wouldn't let me lay on the mattress and take the measurements after I got up, which could be up to 2 inches in sag. We hadn't sleep on the bed for two days before he came out. So he took the company's side to issue his opinion. And he looked to be an out of work carpenter being used as a technician!
He asked me what was going on and explained to him that my wife and I are having sagging problems that's hurting our bodies. We're both over 50 years old and that the mattress is not doing what we had purchased it to do and not firm like we had thought! We were seeking to replace the mattress with another new mattress of equal value and not be refunded any money. But they declined to help us!

I purchased a $3,000 leather sectional from this awful furniture store. When ordering, I expressed to the salesperson that I wanted the exact set up as the showroom. When the furniture arrived, it was incorrect. I then immediately called the 1-800 number provided on the documentation, and was promptly told to contact my local store and salesperson. Of course I made the contact, and was told to come into the store to make the necessary arrangements. I immediately when to our Highway 59/Kirkwood location, and spoke to my salesperson.
The salesperson wrote off the ticket for the complete exchange of the furniture. The salesperson called me on my way home to tell me that I was going to pay an additional delivery charge. I asked for an express delivery, which was supposedly scheduled for the following Monday between 7 AM - 10 PM. Needless to say, no one showed up. I then called the manager the following day to express the issues with continuous problems, as well as the issues with the salesperson. The order was placed, and I had to now wait 2 1/2 weeks, for the exchange to take place.
The delivery day came, and of course, the brackets for the sectional were not provided, and not installed. I called customer service again, and was told the brackets would take 5-6 days to be delivered, and then I would need to call to schedule a technician to come out to install the brackets. Frustrated, I made a trip to the store on my lunch break to chew out the manager. Lo and behold, I was told I could receive a $100 in store credit, which I quickly said "no thanks!" I also expressed the only reason I still have the furniture, is because on the back of the receipt, it said should you return, there is a 20% fee, which would be $600 for my purchase.
The manager said I will give you the full refund, if you don't want the furniture. I jumped at the chance to get this out of my house, and this company out of our lives. Today, I received a call from the corporate office, inquiring about my furniture experience, and once I expressed I was returning the furniture due to the poor customer service, the individual said "okay bye". That was the final testament as to the lack of care with this company. I am now waiting for the pick up of the furniture on 3/10/2010, and the subsequent credit. I am hoping all of that finally goes smoothly, however, I am completely doubtful.

I ordered furniture in 11/09 which came with a "free TV." They insisted that I accepted a delivery date which I had not accepted, and after four calls, agreed to deliver the furniture in December. It was for a new business opening before the first of the year. The furniture came in December but without three items including the TV, I was told that the furniture would be delivered by February 2 after having to choose different items as the ones I was supposed to get were "out of stock."
I made the choices so that there would be no further delays in my order being fulfilled. I asked for the furniture remaining and television to be delivered to my home and was told to verify a different delivery address with my credit card company, which I did. I took off work as a physician to be there for the delivery, which did not happen.
When I called, they said that the address had not been verified, which was untrue. After four calls over as many hours, I had the credit card company and Rooms to Go on a conference call and the credit card company hung up on them as it was clear they were incompetent and had no idea what they were doing; they were wasting both of our time. They again noted acceptance of the address and I called Rooms to Go again the next day to set up delivery of the TV for the fourth time. I took off work again today to finally receive the TV although no one called two days in advance to let me know when they were coming, as my assistant and I were told repeatedly would happen.
The delivery people showed up today with the console and lamp but there was no TV. They informed me that once they confirmed the delivery of the furniture, it would be another two weeks before Best Buy delivered the TV. I spoke to three customer service people to say that I had never been told this and I had taken off work three times to accept delivery of the TV, and I was repeatedly told the TV was coming today, as was my assistant. I have been trying to get what I purchased since November, and it has cost me more than five times the price of the package in lost time, etc. I still do not have the television.
Now, I get to start over arguing with Best Buy and take another day off. This is unacceptable business practice and unethical, and should be reported. I would never buy from Rooms to Go again and will plaster that suggestion all over the Internet and wherever I can get the message across to the most people. Maybe they will revise their policies and customer service when they lose enough business. It is readily apparent that I am in good company with my dissatisfaction.
