I placed an order for a dining table set on Black Friday 2021. We have not received the product so far. I did request for the dining chairs earnestly and they delivered 10 days ago. But not able to deliver dining able so far. The original date of deliver was March end. I am tired of waiting and they do not call back also on leaving messages. The supervisors never call back. I feel cheated. I feel they have not respected the customers and they took the whole money on the day of purchase. I had to manage with meetings and celebrations without the dining table which they promised. I want to inform the authorities about their careless and irresponsible behavior.

I made a purchase of the Bakers sectional in gray. They delivered a used chaise littered in dog or cat hair. I have zero pets due to asthma and allergies. I broke out in hives. I reached and complained. They gave me a discount. I do not have my new chaise it has been months. Horrible service. I am very disappointed in the service and product.

THE WOREST PLACE TO SHOP FOR SURE.. First in store representative was trying to squeeze every single penny out of us. Totally understand that. That is her job. But behind my back trying to force my wife to buy insurance on furniture, is new low. I took my special need son to restroom and told the representative Hilda we didn't need insurance on the bedroom set. After I was gone she was trying to persuade my wife to agree on buying insurance. WOW! REALLY!!! BUYERS BE AWARE.. Their furniture is not very good quality and on top of that they try to force you to keep furniture.
Spend over 5k on bedroom set. Which by the way, will not be delivered completely till next year April 2022. I am okay with that because of covid situation. So I got headboard, footboard, sides, dresser and mirror. When I got them and delivery people started to opening up so fast and setup so fast. I thought, "Wow. What a great service." I thought everything should be good. BUT HUGE NO!!! Found broken headboard on the back and missing paint/scratch on the side. Mind you, according to store representative Hilda this was very expensive and high class bedroom set and lots of people are waiting for it for very long time but we got it right away when we entered in the store and she was trying to persuade my wife behind my back to buy $500 insurance on it because she hates to see if something happens to it (her words not mine), and it was damaged.
Delivery guys didn't want to have anything to do with it and tried to tell me it's okay. So they don't have to take anything back. Like they will only get paid to deliver and leave furniture in customer's home. So when I told him NO, he ended up taking pictures and forwarded to the management and guess what he told me, if he will not setup this 1st time, other guys when they bring new replacement won't set it up as well. So customers please BE AWARE even though you paid for them to deliver and setup and even the furniture has damages upon delivery, the replacement furniture which they will bring it to you 2nd time they won't set it up for you. Unless you pay them delivery charges again. I paid for service but instead it felt like I was given a favour to do all that. LOL. LOL. Really!! Seriously!!!
So upon checking found missing paint/scratches on dresser as well. I took pictures and called customer service myself and told them the whole situation and forwarded the pictures to start getting replacement of so called very expensive and beautiful furniture which people are waiting for very long time. I ended up waiting for week to get replacement and this time delivery guys asked me to come outside and inspect before they bring it in and guess what? You guessed it. They found scratches on the furniture and showed me before I found them myself. So they took pictures and took it back from outside.
2nd time I have to schedule everything accordingly so I can be home for this delivery. But they can't deliver proper furniture. So now I got a call from customer service and was offered WOW! wait for it, A DISCOUNT!! And to keep damaged furniture as is. Now slap in my face moment, I was offered $200 discount to keep that damaged furniture on over 5k bedroom set I bought. $200 REALLY!! I told them no. 2nd day got a call and was told by representative that this furniture has an antique look so it will have scratches and damages on them. LoL LoL LoL. Like I have been living under the rock in my entire life and can't tell the difference between damaged and antique.
So now my dresser is no longer in stock because I have been returning damaged furniture again and again. So they want to punish me now and hoping I will change my mind and keep the damaged furniture. Now they will only deliver headboard and also their manager will inspect the furniture before it leaves the warehouse. But I told her I don't care what your manager will inspect and say. Final inspection will be mine and if I see a single scratch, I will return it from outside.

We purchased a living room set, including a recliner, from The Roomplace in late 2017, and in February of this year it broke. We contacted the warranty company (Guardian) and they had no record of our warranty. That was the 1st problem. We contacted The Roomplace and they too showed record that we paid for the warranty, but the sales rep that we had the day of purchase, put the information in wrong. The Roomplace said that they would personally give us the same terms of the warranty. The Roomplace said it would take a month for the chair part to come in, so we waited. After that month, I called them again, and they said another month. At some point over the summer, they delivered a part to my home. We waited for the technician to come, and when he did, he discovered that the part was wrong. He left, without taking the huge part. Now we have a broken recliner AND a heavy 27"X19" part in our living room.
Every time the recliner gets bumped, the foot pops out and the broken metal scratches my wood floor. I have been told EVERY month that the part will be here the following month. I am tired of being misinformed and want this made right. I also do not believe that if they had filed the warranty correctly, that the actual warranty company would be giving us this much grief. We have bought A LOT of furniture over the years at this store, and will never buy from there again because of how they treat us. I have looked at the site, and this recliner is discontinued. There is, however, a chair that matches our living room set. I think this chair needs replaced. If this is not resolved very soon, I will be getting an attorney and have the chair cost reimbursed, along with my damaged floor cost. It has been 8 months.

Zero stars***. I filed a claim and it turns out nothing is covered under the plan. I need my refund asap because I don't understand how nothing is covered under the plan then why even have plans. Please people do not waste your money on a warranty for your couches, sofas, nothing. They will not cover nothing. Only take your money.

If you want quality furniture, please stay away from The Room Place. Hope to see them go to court soon… I bought a sofa in less than a week, it’s deteriorating. I have made few trips to the store to discuss with the manager but he was never available. Please stay away from this store!

5 years ago I purchased a family room set from Room Place Schaumburg, IL, and sales person suggest I should get a extended warranty and on the end of warranty time (5 years) "0 claim", I should get money back in my pocket. Time flying, now is time to collect MY MONEY, “But": no not so easy, says “nice" representative from Schaumburg location, "Hold your horses, not so quick. Yes you can collect YOUR (my money) but only as store credit," they pushing you to spend YOUR (my) money and buy some furniture. By the way, I can’t buy anything from Room Place (using store credit $250), price skyrockets. I contact with Schaumburg store representatives twice, same answer ONLY as a store credit. I call Guardian Protection Product INC. "Sorry it is out of our lead." Suggestion: contact with store manager. Call several times, customer service refuse even to put Store Manager on the phone.
I contact with BBB, read answer: "The RoomPlace was saddened to learn of our Customer’s concern. If during the warranty period there is no claim, The RoomPlace will issue 100% of the protection plan price in the form of an in-store credit, valid for a period of 1 (one) year from date of issuance towards the next furniture purchase of $499 or more. Attached is the post card provided at time of purchase to Customers who elect the protection plan. We are truly sorry if there was any misunderstanding as it relates to the terms of the plan at time of purchase. A member of our team will reach out to our Customer direct. With much respect, Customer Care" It it’s a clearly a FRAUD.

The Room Place's 5-year "no-use, no-lose" warranty is deceiving. The "warranty" covers nothing of actual value. Also, the representatives never tell you that you'll only be getting STORE CREDIT for furniture purchases of $999 or more. They deceive you by saying you'll get your money back... That's not true. Further, their quality is HORRIBLE. I've had issues with a couch I purchased not even a year ago (so still under warranty). The leg has broken twice. The first time, they sent a repair person to fix it. He said the leg broke because of poor quality wood. When I told The Room Place representative what the repairman told me, they said I can't trust his opinion on the quality because he is from a third party... That is absolutely ridiculous given he does this for a living. They also shouldn't be sending people out that they "don't trust" to come fix our furniture. STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY.

I’d run away from any couches or furniture from this place. I spent over 3 grand on a leather sectional and have had nothing but problems... good thing I purchased the warranty right? Wrong! Won’t do anything for me. Some third party guardian warranty, such a crock. The springs break on the sofa, electrical is faulty, and the couch peels like you had a sunburn. Won’t give me a callback, won’t do anything for me. FYI peeling is not covered in the warranty. Hmmmm guess they knew that was coming. So now I resort to leather pain and sealant. You want to throw money down the drain be my guest. This place is terrible, idk how they can still operate. Thanks for stealing my money.

I spent over $6000, I was moving to Florida And I they had a good deal 0% for 4yrs. Got everything but 3 items, 4 recliners 1 didn't work, 2 weeks got bed rails. They were used. They blamed me because I didn't open the box and checked them. They do not stand behind their products. The only good about this whole nightmare they had 2 young ladies did their best to rectify this mess and were stop by their management. CHOOSE wisely. All deals aren't good deals.

Went to store to purchase sectional. Told salesman I would like 90 days same as cash. Salesman guided me to American First Finance for 90 days same as cash as they didn't offer that in store. He said no worry about the 156.72% interest just pay it off in 90 days and there wont be any interest. The company automatically defaults to an 18 month payment. Plan. 4 people including the manager told me to just call the company and ask for the 90 days same as cash. I called and they DONT HAVE 90 DAY PLANS. In process now of cancelling this contract.

I purchased my furniture at The Room Place at the Castleton location. I have not been satisfied with this furniture at all. I noticed that the quality of the furniture was not going to hold up because of early signs of cracking. I immediately contacted the store manager, I explained to him that the furniture was cracking and felt as though you sunk in on a certain side once you sat on it. He told me to contact Guardian which was the warranty company that I purchased when I purchased the sectional. Guardian gave me the runaround on several of my calls with them. I refused to give up, so I began to email them too. They finally sent out a repair company to assess the furniture.
He observed the furniture and said the only way he could do the repairs would be that they need to send the slipcovers to do the repairs. He also looked at the frame to see why it sunk in on one side of the seat. He said that he would need to replace the cushions. He said that he will send the information to the Guardian and they will contact me. They contacted me, stating that my warranty doesn't cover cracking. I feel like they weren't trying to assist me in any way. I stayed in contact with them trying to get a reasonable solution. They were not trying to help resolve this issue. The only resolution for me was to offer me a $200 credit to use in the store.
At this point, I'm not trying to purchase more furniture especially since I'm not happy with the furniture I have. I showed pictures to the customer service representative in the Castleton store and she couldn't believe how bad it was. She insisted that I contact the home office. I have contacted the home office and the finance company. too. I still owe money on this sectional. I feel I need to be compensated in some kind of way for this sectional. I know that things happen but this should not be happening. I don't have small children that are adding extra wear and tear on the furniture. I went into the store a month ago and was advised by the new manager that they no longer carry this sectional. I thought to myself, I wonder why. She asked me did I contact Guardian, I told her that I did but they did not want to cover the cracking. I'm very disappointed with this situation.

We recently moved and ordered a full sleeper sofa set, full dining set, and side tables with ottoman in august. We accepted the delivery date of early September. It is now November 1st. We were scheduled for delivery 11/21 and I've just been informed that this date has been rescheduled for 12/10? Meanwhile we're eating dinner and watching tv on our floor for 3 months. At this rate I could have bought wood and hammered my own furniture. This is ridiculous!

We purchase 3 rooms of furniture 6 years ago. The most expensive was a red leather set that reclined. Honestly we didn't start sitting on the furniture till last year and the leather started to peel every day we sat on it. This is $4,000 leather furniture, well we thought it was leather, a two piece set. The shorter couch in which hasn't had too much action still looks brand new because no one sits on it due to its position, looks perfect. But the longest piece that faces the television looks like we've had it 20 years rather than 6. Keep on mind, you think you are getting genuine leather furniture, but it's misleading leather material that clearly fools you until you actually start sitting on the furniture and the material starts to fade.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND The Room Place at all!! I purchased a sectional & a bed mid-June and was given a date for delivery date of early July... First off - NO ONE FROM THE ROOM Place ever reached out to communicate at all, I purchased the items online. The date then went from early July to mid-July to the end of July, then early August to late August then Late September... AFTER ME CONSTANTLY REACHING OUT THEM, MIND YOU NO ONE THERE CALL TO TELL ME ANYTHING! Last call was 8/28. And was told the items would be in late November. I have had ENOUGH Of this and requested a refund! I spoke w/ several employees which were all lacking professionalism one was she claimed a Manager on 8/27. She was the most simplest individual imaginable! She only could tell me she has to email the department who issues refunds. I asked for that department number & was told they don't take...???

Staff not hygienic especially during this pandemic. They refuse to put on face masks. They would walk in the house with their dirty shoes on unless you say something. Purchased table and chairs staff made a cut on one of the chairs with a cardboard cutter. Also the table base one side didn’t match the other looked like two different tables put tougher. Chair screws kept falling bc the staff didn’t even bother doing their job. Called customer service just to hear them argue and yell at me not professional at all.

We went all the way to Lombard which was farther from where we live in this inconvenient time of “Covid-19” phenomenon, just so we can have a look on the furniture we like from their online advertisement. We finally bought it since we were told we will be able to get it on July 28th, so it is more than a month expected delivery from the time we bought it on June 17th. June 29th, we went to their store in Touhy to have a price match since the furniture was on sale, it wasn’t a problem and we were pleased that they had the integrity to honor that. The next day my husband was surprised to see the receipt, because the furniture delivery date was moved to August 19th, we didn’t expect that when the customer rep. did confirm to us the day before that there wasn’t any changes as to the delivery date.
My husband called them and tried to make inquiries, and sure enough, they did change the delivery date without even informing us or giving us options as to how we are going to receive the changes. Nada. They told us, that the furniture we like still won’t be available by July 28th. We were upset because they should at least took the time to ask for our feedback, but they didn’t. Not until we called them back and expressed our dissatisfaction. So, they gave us option to have a different color furniture, which was available they said and will be ready to be delivered this week, we agreed and set the date for delivery today, Thursday.
When the delivery guys came, the furniture was not even the right one! They left the wrong furniture so we can have something to sit (which was just, otherwise, we are left with nothing to sit on). This time, we are told that they will deliver the right furniture on Monday. I wasn’t happy with this experience at all. I just hope that they will have a better system than this. We will see if this problem will be resolved well on Monday without any “Oops!” Will give update!

We bought this white marble looking table in December of 2017. It was a beautiful white marble look with 6 chairs. We bought the warranty because the chairs were vinyl and we wanted to make sure they lasted. Within 9 months the table had yellowed terribly but only the top and the base. The middle portion that looks like an O was still white as ever. It is not exposed to the sun at all. So the company replaced the table in January of 2018. Well guess what, it was a one time only replacement and now the table is yellow again. They will not cover it even though the furniture is in excellent shape except it is YELLOW. well, some of it. I will not purchase again from the room place as they do not back their furniture!!

Don't buy furniture insurance from them. The Sales people will hide all fine details and sell you the insurance. If you try to claim, the insurance company comes up with all sorts of reasons to reject the claim. After 5 years they say you get your money back if you don't use it. Catch is you have to claim within 90 days otherwise you lose. Also it's a store credit they give, not the money back. I forgot to claim within 90 days and the customer service people is so rude and they expect you to read the fine prints. It's a total SCAM.

After we purchased our home, we knew we would buy a new bedroom set. We chose a queen sized bedroom set. Approximately 2 months prior to the end of our sales contract the ledge holding the slats cracked! My husband called them and informed them of the problem and was told if he didn't purchase a warranty, there was nothing they could do. Upon examination of the wooden ledge holding the slats, we discovered the ledge on the left side was EXTREMELY flawed, and the wood was CHEAP. In other words it couldn't last long. By the way, the bed is not even a year old! DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING from The Room Place in Homewood!!!! Now we have to purchase a new bed. Poor, shoddy workmanship should not be acceptable.

The problem with The Room Place was with the product delivery. Our first dining set was delivered on August 6 2019 and it all went downhill from that point forward. We had significant damage to our table and opted to reject the table. The table was left and a new table was to be delivered. 3 tables later (each one having more damage than the first) I requested all items from the dining set be picked up and a full refund be provided.
I was promised time after time that several individuals would examine the table prior to its delivery but each time upon delivery the table was worse than the previous. At one point the delivery men forgot their drill bag which they used to take apart the table and at 7:00am the following day (Saturday) they were ringing my doorbell to pick up the bag without even calling ahead. I was given a 3 hour window with each delivery. The first time they were nearly an hour early and one of the following times they were over an hour late without so much as a call to advise that they were still delivering. It is safe to say that I will not be a returning customer at The Room Place.

Received a dresser that was damaged. No return policy. We were required to submit photos and then wait for 3 days for them to decide whether or not it was damaged enough for us to replace. When they finally let us replace it, the one they replaced it with was also damaged. took a lot of work to get them to go around official store policy and give us a refund. Looked around for a different replacement in the store, everything is cheap materials, not much wood, plastic with vinyl laminate covering, and overpriced for the quality. They encouraged us to look at the clearance section, where we found every piece was significantly damaged and not very discounted. Will not be going back. Stay away.

I purchased a dining room set on 7/9/2019 prior to purchasing the set I asked if they had a good quantity in stock just in case anything is damaged. They assured they had many in inventory. When I received the furniture I noticed the tabletop had manufacturer assembly defect. I contacted them a few days later text in pictures and scheduled a replacement delivery.
Sad to say they brought over a previously returned tabletop with worse damages and scratches. I was able to see them from my front step before they unloaded the table. I declined the delivery pointed out the damages. They guaranteed me a new table one week later. I get the same table delivered one week later and the touch up paint and repair looked like the individual was color blind and had overspray and only cover up half the scratches. There are consumer law that you cannot sell used items as new but that does not seem to apply to them. Upon further research they do not have any inventory of this design table. Bad for business. Need to up my game for all this nonsense.

I bought a new living room and dining room set on May 2, 2019. Everything except the coffee table were delivered on time with no problems. Was told at time of order the coffee table was on backorder but I should have it in a week or two. Two weeks later I get a call that it's still on backorder, I'm frustrated but what can you do. I'm given a date a few weeks out. Lo and behold I get another call. STILL on backorder. I ask what my options are, I can go in and pick out another table, or even take a floor model. I decide to wait it out. It matches the end table that's been in my living room almost 2 months.
FINALLY a delivery date, July 12. They don't tell me I can request a time frame. They will be here on Friday night between 5 and 8 pm. So yep I reschedule. Today July 19th is the big day, getting my new table. I vacuum. Get a vase of flowers all ready and they deliver a broken table. But don't worry I'll have another one next week. Sure I will. I call customer services, they offer me a $50 gift card to buy more things from them. I politely decline, don't want to wait another 3 months for a purchase. With SO many other options now, if this is now the way they are doing business, they will not be doing it with me any longer. Today they lost a long time loyal customer.

We bought several pieces of furniture last year from The Room Place and applied for the credit. We bought new furniture for new house while still living in old house. The first statement was sent to the old house and therefore we were late with first payment. Took couple of days to settle with bank and start paying bills. We are done now. However, bank charged us late fee. Called to the bank only to find out that they do not waive late fees and was transferred to the corporate office of Room Place.
I spoke with Maria, who refused to provide her last name, and been told that they have nothing to do with financial aspect of this issue. Even after she looked at our account and saw $$ we spent, still she refused to help me with situation. Never again I will shop at the place that does not care of how much business they get from the customers and not even willing to provide her full name. Plenty of other places that have better quality furniture. Very disappointed.
