Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc.

Review: I purchased a sleeper sofa, a recliner, and a bar from the Ashley Furniture store in [redacted] on a Saturday. My work schedule is a rotation, I work 3 weeks out of state and get to come home for 1 week. I left town the following Monday and Ashley delivered the furniture to my home the following Saturday. My wife was there to accept it. The couch was missing both of the pillows it was supposed to come with and the drawers on the bar were defective and did not line up or close properly. I was unfortunately out of town and did not realize any of this until I arrived more than 2 weeks after the delivery. I went to the store the following day and asked to have the situation fixed within 3 days as I have family coming to visit from out of town and I will be leaving again on my work rotation the following Monday. I was told they would have my pillows at the store for pick up and a technician will be out to my home to repair the damaged drawers. I called to confirm the day prior to the scheduled in-home repair and I was told by the Customer Service Dept that they cannot have anyone out to my home until the following week. I reiterate I will not be there to approve the repairs and I am told "sorry, you will have to reschedule when you get back in town." That is unacceptable. I do not want an incomplete delivery and malfunctioning furniture in a freshly painted and remodeled room when I have visitors coming for out of town. I'd rather the room be empty that have a poorly crafted piece of furniture in it. As this is the type of customer service that Ashley Furniture seems to be known for; I want the furniture picked up and a full refund to the line of credit account I set up to make this purchase. I refuse to do business with a company that put the customer's needs last.Desired Settlement: I want the furniture picked up and a full refund to the line of credit account I set up to make this purchase.

Hello,

Review: We bought a sofa on 12/12 when it was delivered one of the massage motor did not work and, a part of the fabric pealed off. It took over 3 months for the technician to visit our home and replace the motor but, could not replace the fabric. It passed 3 more months to replace the fabric. These 6 months have been after multiple calls and, failed returned calls promised. At the moment the fabric continues to peal off and, no service have been provided.Desired Settlement: The amount should be credited to the loan when purchased plus the interest paid on this item.

Hello,

Review: The product I bought is an Ashley durablend product that is peeling. There are numerous complaints about the product peeling. I would like my sofa replaced as it is obviously a manufacturer defect. I have tried to contact the warranty service that I purchased, contact the store, the customer service, another store because I thought it was the company website, I currently have a request in with the company, and have commented on the Facebook page. No one has offered to help me resolve this issue.Desired Settlement: And a store credit if the product continues to peel with in 10 years of purchase date.

Hello,

Review: My wife and I purchased a sofa, love seat, and end table on 11/28/2014. We were initially told that the estimated time of arrival for our purchase was going to be the week of 12/20/2014. Realizing that we would be leaving that week for Christmas, we called into check on the status of our purchase. We were told that our items were not in yet and after some discussion with the gentleman in customer service, we resolved that our entire order was to be delivered on the 12/29/2014. We received two phone calls the weekend before Monday the twenty ninth confirming our delivery and the time. 20 minutes before our delivery was supposed to come, and after I had already taken time off work to be home, we were called saying that none of our items were in. After a several calls back where only the love seat and table were in and then being told only the table was in, the delivery truck showed up and dropped off the love seat and table but no couch. Another phone call lead to us being informed that the couch was still on back order (after being told everything was to be delivered), we settled on being told that the sofa would be delivered on the 1/10/2015. To this point, 41 days from the date of purchase. Being only a few days away from the date of supposed delivery, I called in on 1/8/15 to check on the status of our sofa only to be told that the estimated delivery date was now the 2/11/2015. This will put us well over sixty days out from our purchase. We spent quite a bit of our hard earned money to have an empty living room and still no honest sign of when our sofa will be brought in. We want our sofa or our money back. This is highly unprofessional and unacceptable. No one there knows what the others are saying to their customers and everything seems to be a lie.Desired Settlement: We want to have our sofa delivered ASAP or our money back. This is unacceptable and we will never buy anything else from Ashley Furniture. This has been the worst experience ever.

Hello,

Review: Had to file a claim with credit card to get my refund.

Bought from Ashley Furniture [redacted] on Nov30. I was told delivery would be on Dec9. When it didn't show up I called and they said they were waiting on an item and it would be Dec15. Again, when it didn't show up I had to call. They said it would be after Dec26. I told them to refund my money and they said it should be credited to my card in three business days. Two weeks and several phone calls later I had to file a claim with my credit card co. to dispute the charge. Also, when your waiting on delivery and no one calls, one gives up plans on doing anything. Would have been nice to get a call from Ashley so one wouldn't wait on a delivery that wasn't going to happen!Desired Settlement: Full refund

Hello,

Review: We filed a Revdex.com complaint in November regarding warranty issues with our furniture, we received a call from corporate and he advised us to go into our local store which is located in [redacted] and exchange for a different set of furniture for the price we originally gave for the loveseat and the couch. We did this. When we went in Nov 19, 2014 and looked at several pieces and found a sectional that was below what we spent the first time, we were going to purchase a desk that was on clearance that would have made our total about $50.00 over the original price. We were told by the manager on duty that we could not select any pieces from clearance and that we had to spend the total amount that we were exchanging. We didn't understand this since it was our money that we were spending but when questioned he stated that clearance or floor models we could not get. I was a little frustrated at this cause it was ultimately our money we were spending. So after looking and looking we finally found another set. This set was almost $900 over what we originally paid. It was a sectional, Chair, and ottoman. We took photos of the couch and chair while there. We explained to the sales man that we needed it turned the other way since it would not allow for our door to open. All was done, we signed new paperwork and the furniture was set to be delivered on Dec. 26, 2014. One week prior to delivery we receive a call that our furniture was on back order and that it would January 13, 2015 before we finally got delivery. The manager stated that they would give us $100 gift card since we were having such a difficult time getting our furniture delivered. He stated that we would receive this in the mail. I still have not received the gift card and I even emailed the [redacted] location regarding the gift card, with no reply to my email. Then we finally get delivery January 13, 2015. At first the delivery drivers refused to bring in the furniture cause our yard was muddy, but my husband told them it was ok we knew the weather was bad. After hesitation they finally came in to remove the broken furniture and deliver the new. The chair was delivered without the pillow and I asked him where it was he stated call customer care. After they left we put the furniture together and it was the exact same way it was in the store. Even though we told our sales man that we needed it flipped the other way due to our front door. So we call customer care about the pillow and the furniture being wrong, the lady stated that she was going to put me on hold and call the store location to try and figure out what pillow was with it and to talk to our sales man regarding the furniture being wrong. After a few she came back and said that she was going to have our sales man call us the next day when he got in which was January 14. I waited until 4:30 for him to call me and never received a call. So I call and speak to a supervisor and explain to him everything once again, he states that he will look into it and give me a call back. I never received a call back. So my wife calls and talks to the cashier on Saturday Jan 17, she speaks to the cashier and explains everything once again. That we would like to just get our furniture and the pillow that supposed to go with the chair and be done with this entire situation. The cashier stated that she was looking into our account to see if it was active/closed. They had closed our ticket as if we had no issues at all. So when my wife asked her about me speaking to the supervisor she informed her that I spoke to the sales manager and not the manager. She then told my wife that she was going to explain everything to the manager and have him call me back. I received no phone call that day. Then on Sunday a [redacted] called and I explained everything to him again, he asked me to send him an email with a picture of the furniture and a pic of the furniture on the floor we took. I did this, he stated that either customer care would call me back Monday or he would. I never received a call after that.Desired Settlement: I would like them to do what they say they are going to do. Where is my gift card for the 4 month wait on furniture? I want them to bring me the correct furniture and the pillow that is supposed to go with the chair. I want the [redacted] location staff to be held accountable, this type of customer service is horrendous. I hate that we have furniture that we cant really use because its not the correct one and we don't want to damage it. And why couldn't I purchase items on clearance that is absolutely absurd, I feel like that was a ploy to make me spend more money.

Hello,Thank you for contactingAshley Furniture Industries, Inc. We appreciate that you have notified usregarding Mr. [redacted]’ concerns.

Mr. [redacted] purchased furniture from an AshleyFurniture HomeStore in [redacted]. Ashley Furniture HomeStores andauthorized dealers are independently owned and operated. All decisions are madeby the store that sold the product in question. I took the liberty offorwarding the information provided by the Revdex.com to the corporate office for the [redacted]store, along with a request for them to investigate this matter further andcontact Mr. [redacted] to discuss his options. If you have additional questions or concerns,please consider contacting the [redacted] HomeStore Customer Care department at###-###-####.Sincerely,[redacted]

On November 20, 2014 and November 28, 2014 we purchased $3700+ worth of furniture at your Sugar Land, Texas location (16762 Hwy 59 South, Sugar Land, TX 77479). Our orders consisted of a reclining sofa, loveseat, corner lift top cocktail table, square end table and TV console. (Sales order # **SSN** & **SSN**) Upon delivery of the sofa, there was a tear in it. We called customer service and informed them. They sent a technician out who was able to cover up the tear. Then, about a week later, the corner lift top cocktail table fell while it was lifted up. We called customer service, again, and informed them. A technician was sent to check it out. The technician took pictures and temporarily fixed the table. However, prior to fixing it, we had specifically asked him what the issue was and whether he felt it was a manufacturing defect. He told us that he believed it to be a manufacturing defect and would notate it in his report and that we had two options: (1) temporarily have it fixed by using larger screws (as opposed to the small ones the table came with) and he would report back saying it was a manufacturing defect or (2) leave it as is and he would report back saying it's a manufacturing defect. We went with option one because we trusted his opinion and the fact he would write in his report that the table was a manufacturing defect. Also, we have a little baby at home so for safety reasons wanted it fixed. Generally customer service is suppose to call back and follow up, but they did not. I called and learned that the technician did not write what he said he would. He simply wrote that he fixed it using larger screws. I explained to the customer service agent what the technician had said and the agent recommended sending another technician. There was no point in sending a second technician as the table was temporarily fixed but I agreed anyway. When the second technician came, he said that he will be asked if the table is functioning and will say yes. I explained to him that it is functioning now because a technician came before him and temporarily fixed it. He said there was nothing he could do about it. He said he would simply state in his report that it is functioning and would voice our concerns. Once again, I had no follow up from customer service so I called after a few days and learned that the second technician wrote that the table was up to manufacturing quality. I was very upset, angry and frustrated at this point. This was the second time a technician stated one thing to us and wrote something else in their report. And to say it was up to manufacturing quality was incorrect. The manufactured piece came with screws that were clearly too small to keep the table safely and securely in a lifted position. I explained this to the agent at the time and she recommended sending a third technician. There was no point sending a third one. We were lied to twice. The agent then recommended sending new parts and I found it to be pointless. Clearly the parts that the table comes with don't work correctly. I told her directly that we would like a new piece or store credit. She spoke to her manager and was able to get approval for reselection. And since we bought the matching end table, we were given re-selection on that too. The agent also mentioned that the table we had was discontinued. About a week ago we went to see what options we had at the same Sugar Land store. At the time we didn't see anything that we liked and our little baby was cranky so we left. We went back yesterday (2/15/2015). In all honesty, we didn't like anything but nor did we want to be stuck with the table we had at home. We selected a table and end table but unfortunately it was a little higher than what we originally paid. We spoke to our sales person [redacted] and asked if they would simply match the price given the hassle we had. She spoke to her manager [redacted] but he denied our request. We asked him a few times but he refused. [redacted] was extremely rude and non-understanding while talking to us. From our point of view, we had a lot of hassle from the minute we bought and had the furniture delivered - the least that could have been done was to match the price for a few dollars. We have been buying our furniture from Ashley for years and this was the worst experience we had. First our sofa is ripped. Then the table breaks. Customer service never follows up. We have to keep reaching out. Technicians lied to us on two occasions and now the store manager could not be accommodating. We will definitely not be buying furniture from any Ashley Furniture store in the future and will let others know not to. We genuinely feel that Ashley's quality in products and service has declined tremendously over the years. In all honesty, we would like to keep none of the furniture we got but we have no choice. And that is not a good feeling. You would want your customers to be happy and satisfied with the products they have bought and tell this to others. You can expect us to write negative reviews online so others know how customers really are treated at Ashley Furniture.

I purchased a king mattress and foundation from the Murfreesboro, Tn store on March 31, 2014. I was told that the mattress would be at the warehouse in a couple of weeks. I know that the mgr quoted me a date. I misunderstood thinking this was the delivery date. I contacted customer in the store and was reminded that it would be at the warehouse on that date and I would get a call from "customer care dept" to schedule a delivery. Upon receiving the mattress the delivery man brought it in on his own, without help from the other delivery guy. He dragged it on the doorway and carpet in the room. He set it up. I discovered a huge manufacture sea line 3/4 the way over on the mattress running up and down the length of the mattress. There were also holes as well with this flaw. I was given the option to either keep it till another one was sent out so I would have something to sleep on or they could take it back and it would be a while before I got another mattress. I chose to keep it. The delivery guy took pics of it on his mobile tablet, I signed off giving permission to file a complaint and was told they would go to corporate and expect a call within 30 minutes. I got no call and called them 45 minutes later. I have spoken to a lot of people in the last few weeks on customer care so not sure of all names. I was treated as if I was putting them out by me calling. I was told that a lot of the times the pics don't come in till after the delivery guy's shift. It finally took me taking pics sending them to [redacted] the store mgr. to even get customer care to have pics of the mattress. I could go on and on but I want you to know that after MANY long distance calls to customer care who could care less we finally got another mattress that was flawless delivered. In the middle of all this I was promised by the asst. mgr John at the Murfreesboro store due to my inconvenience of calls and time was offered $150 reinbursment. He said give it 48 hours to clear the bank. He failed to tell me that it was after the mattress was delivered. That was another call I had to make. Our mattress was delivered last Friday May 8. We still haven't been credited the money. I was put on hold for 12 minutes today (long distance) because he was the only one there in customer service. This call was within the 1st hour the store opened. We have spend 6 weeks tons of phone calls, many misunderstanding, the final delivery being late, being spoke to like I'm putting some one out and a promise to make up for it somehow failed as well. I have dealt with a company that has been so unprofessional and rude in all my life. I am making sure that I get the word out on social media of my experience and that others do not shop at Ashley.

I had the worst customer experience in Ashley since all of my last six years in USA. These folks are SUPER CHEATS AND LIERS. I did a big mistake of not reading yelp reviews and purchased a 14 piece set for $3186 on 03/15. The sales guys [redacted] was nice and helpful. He even offered a 0% interest loan. I am glad that I refused and didn't screw up any credit history later. I did my full payments that day and was promised a partial delivery in next 10 days and a full delivery within 3 weeks. The sales guys talk all HONEY HONEY till you sign that contract paper. Once you are done signing the paper, the horror story begins.
I contacted them 3 weeks later about status and they said its tentatively expected on 4/22. I asked why the delay, they responded saying "DELAYS HAPPEN, ITS THERE IN THE SHEET YOU SIGNED", we can delay our deliveries. I was like lets wait another 2 weeks to see what happens. Two weeks later again same news, delivery is delayed. EACH TIME THEY ONLY GIVE TENTATIVE DATES. Finally I told them to cancel the order, they then told me I shall be billed for a 25% stocking fee, if I did so. This was 6 weeks after I did the full payment. I had a vacation planned in month of May and asked them to deliver my stuff in first week of June without any further delays or reason. I come back from vacation, same tricks again. Delayed by week, then another. Finally I warn them its either 16th June or I call my lawyers. On 12th June, they give me a call again saying its delayed by another 15 days. I had exhausted my patience by then, I called up their Corporate manager [redacted] and told her to give me in writing why it had been delayed so long and I was planning to see a lawyer. She offered me discounts which I refused (didn't offer to give me in writing anything) and then offered me full refund. I gladly accepted it and finally after 100 days of pain and agony got a partial refund for $3156. They refused to pay me $35, because I had taken a "stupid item called throw" with me to home during the sale of purchase. I didn't even use it and they refused to take it back. I am glad I refused to take other items home, the sales guy were eager to pack more stuff in my car during purchase day.
Long Story Short (TLDR):
1) Don't buy anything from them, no matter what the deal.
2) In case you buy, ask for written confirmation (which they won't give); so that you can see a lawyer later. During entire episode, they didn't give give any written communication. Probably others have sued them before.
3) During the entire 100 days of pain and agony, they didn't even bother to tell sorry. Please check my attachment on how they send refunds. No mention of any apology, treat customers like DIRT.
4) [redacted] doesn't entertain you after they are done with sales. They shall tell "CALL CORPORATE OFFICE".
5) They never callback, and corporate office is heavily mismanaged.
6) The only saving grace were 2 ladies from corporate office [redacted] who showed some courtesy to call back and apologize.

I purchased three leather reclining sofas for $6100. The sofas I got are defective, and extremely uncomfortable to sit on. In fact my family and I can't seat on them for more than 10 minutes. My back and neck hurts so much because there is no lumbar support on the back the seat sinks in and feels like I'm in a deep hole. I tried to return them one day after delivery and the sales manager and supervisor were completely hostile towards me. The salesman and sales manager had falsely advertised about the sales terms. Before purchasing the furniture, I had asked that if there was anything wrong with the furniture if it would be possible to return it, and they said absolutely. The sales manager said you could cancel the order and you would receive a full refund; however that turned out to be false. My disappointment is profound with this horrible furniture, making me regret ever purchasing from this establishment. I’ve never previously had a problem with furniture retailers before, and I am utterly outraged at the loss of my HARD EARNED MONEY and that I’m currently marooned with this useless, shoddy, and rather expensive pieces of furniture. YOUR ESTABLISHMENT DID NOT HONOR THEIR APPARENTLY GUARANTEED SALES TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ASHLEY’S FURNITURE SALES REPRESENTATIVES LIE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY OFFER FOR SALE. THEY DO NOT PERMIT YOU TO READ THE FINE PRINT THAT LIES IN THE TERMS, HINDERING ME FROM POSSIBLY RETHINKING MY DECISION. THEIR CONSTANT DETTERENCE FROM READING THE DOCUMENTS CONCERNING MY PURCHASE SEEMED SUSPICIOUS TO ME, AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING HIDDEN FROM MY KNOWLEDGE. I ASKED THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE, AN OLDER GENTLEMEN KNOWN BY THE NAME OF [redacted] “ WHAT AM I SIGNING?” HE SIMPLY REPLIED,“ THIS IS ONLY SAYING THAT YOUR ORDER WILL BE DELIVERED IN TWO WEEKS.”HE FAILED TO MENTION TO ME THAT THE FURNITURE WOULD BE A FINAL SALE, WITH NO RETURN ALLOWED AFTER DELIVERY, EVEN WITH MY RECEIPT OF PURCHASE CLEARLY STATING THAT I COULD RECEIVE A FULL REFUND AS LONG AS THE FURNITURE IN QUESTION WAS NOT DAMAGED OR A CLOSEOUT, AND WAS RETURNED WITHIN 15 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER DELIVERY.THIS DEEPLY TROUBLES ME, AS I USUALLY WOULD EXPECT HONEST PROMISES FROM SUCH A WELL KNOWN FURNITURE RETAILING ESTABLISHMENT. IT WAS A LACK-LUSTER EXPERIENCE WITH INADEQUATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISHONEST MEANS OF SELLING. I WILL MOST LIKELY REFRAIN FROM PURCHASING FROM ANY OF YOUR ESTABLISHMENTS EVER AGAIN.

I bought 1700 worth of furniture, In the past 2 years I have spent close to 4000 dollars there, I have had nothing but problems with them. I go to pick up my things at the Springdale location "on a Saturaday" (I was moving and the held my things for a several weeks) and they "lost my head board" they could not find it, They guys there told me that they will call me once they find it. Saturday goes by no phone call, come Tuesday still no phone call, Finally got someone to call me back and they told me the manager at the warehouse will go look cause he does not know what is going on and he will call me right back. Next day no phone call, I call the customer serivce department and asked to speak with the manager. The lady told me she will take my name and number and he was at the back of the building and will call me right back...... NO PHONE CALL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY!!! Come to find out after dealing with this for about 3 almost 4 weeks. The head borad was damaged with it was sent to the warehouse and NOT a single person told me this. The manager told me he would make sure it was ordered and offered to get it delivered to my house and will set the bed. ( I took the footboard and rails with me that Saturday) So 2 weeks had went by still no head board and still no call. THEY DID NOT ORDER IT!!!! At this point I talked to the VP of Ashley and she did not seem to care about my problem nor wanted to fix the problem. A week and a half later I FINALLY got a head board delivered to my house. BUT IT GETS BETTER.... I had to put the bed together........ Me dresser that went with the set was damaged as well, the manager told me he would send a guy out to fix it. So the guy comes and says he has to order a new top for it....... 3 weeks later I call customer service at the first of this week...... OHHH GUESS WHAT.......... THEY DIDNT ORDER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I have talked to several managers and the VP of the company and no has felt like I need to be compensated for my troubles!!!!!!!! So with my story I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO ASHLEY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Bought the San Marco sofa and love seat set model number 5900038 and 5900035 respectively, and within a year the leather ( which was actually not leather) started peeling off in sheets and pieces from the surface. It came with a warranty but when I inquired as to a resolution for replacement I was told this model was discontinued. No offer was made to replace or provide a credit for their furniture which was clearly faulty.

Review: I have spent almost $15,000 at Ashley Furniture. I ordered over 4 weeks ago and set a delivery date for July 11, 2015. The delivery people called me today during my estimated delivery time and stated they couldn't deliver today and someone would contact me in 24 hours to set up another delivery time. Also, not all of the furniture I ordered is in but I was told it would be when I purchased everything. I've called multiple people and keep getting the run around. Now I'm trying to call the store in [redacted] and speak to a manager about a refund and no one will call me back. Right now, I spent a lot of money and I have no furniture.Desired Settlement: I would like a full refund from this company for the huge headache they have caused.

Hello,

Review: October of 2013 we made a purchase in the amount of 3245.89 from the [redacted] store. Upon receiving our first statement we realized that our bill amount was for a 160.11 purchase and the amount due (min) was 3.00. However, our available credit was 594.00 of 4000.00. We immediately called GE Capital and went to the store. Neither could handle or fix the issue. We were not going to make payments until we knew what we were paying for thus accruing late fees. Our next statement came and to our surprise, the balance still remained 160.11 with a new purchase balance of 6660.86. Now we were reporting 2660.88 past our credit limit. We had been charged upwards of 3400 for purchases we did not make. It took and act of congress to reverse these charges as Ashley spent nearly 2-3 months trying to figure out what went wrong leaving us to do ALL of the leg work. This is only one example of the hell we have gone through with Ashley Furniture in the last 2 years. We were told that our promo period would start over allowing us through March of 2016 to pay off our promotional purchases. That certainly was not the case when viewing our December bill of 2015 and seeing that close to 2k in interest had been added. Even at 29.9% we do not understand where that amount came from. We have contacted Ashley furniture store multiple times as well as gone in. They do not understand what has happened with our bills from day one. We have also talked to synchrony bank and was offered a 589.00 payoff for those purchases by 1/4/16 in order to reverse the interest. That is great, and appreciated but should not be that case as we were promised March. Also the amounts to not add up and are far from consistent. We have gone over and above what we should have to extend grace and be patient in waiting for Ashley to make this right. 2 years to be exact. We are extremely irritated and want immediate and full attention to this matter. We have also contacted a district store and corporate and have had 0 response after multiple attempts. We very well should have perused legal action when Ashley admitted to pulling the wrong account on two occasions and using our credit for two huge in store purchases. One, without us being there to sign and two....IT WASNT US MAKING THE PURCHASE NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Desired Settlement: We want the entire balance on our Ashley furniture credit card account taken care of by Ashley Home Store. We do not wish to have any more interaction with Ashley or the credit company. We also want all credit bureaus notified of the issue should there be any negative action lingering on our credit report.

Hello,

Review: I purchased a love seat from [redacted] who is a Ashely Furniture Dealer on October 22nd, 2012. All of the rivets that connect the feet rest mechanism to the wood frame of the loveseat have become loose and makes the chair on the right side very uncomfortable to sit in. I contacted [redacted], who I bought the love seat from and he directed me to call the Ashley Furniture Headquarters since I had moved out of the service area. My first call was on the 3rd of September, I was instructed to send a copy of the sales receipt along with my name address etc.. to their fax in Wisconsin. I sent the fax at 1:33pm, I was also told by the customer service representative that I would receive a call from a tech in 72 hours. I waited a week and a call never came. I called again on September the 10th and was told by a customer service representative that they were currently looking for a tech to handle this warranty issue. I waited another week and heard not one word from anyone. I called again on September the 17th and the customer service representative told me that [redacted] who was in charge of the case would give me a call. Did not hear anything from [redacted], called again at 4:15pm, talked to [redacted] who's demeanor was far from customer friendly and all he could do was tell me that it was not said that he would call me, that was a blatant lie from what his colleague told me. He also said that he could not find a tech in my area of where I live. This is absurd simply because there is a Ashley dealer in [redacted] and you would hope that if they sold that brand they could work on it. [redacted] ended the call by telling me that he should know something by next week. I called again on September the 24th at 10:30 am and was told by the customer service rep that they case had been moved and marketing is now handling the issue. [redacted] did however request for that department to give me a call as soon as they found out something. I am sure that I will have to wait another week and not hear anything back. I have been one this case for the 4th week and have not gotten any results.Desired Settlement: All I am asking Ashley Furniture to do is to honor their warranty obligations and either repair my love seat or send me a new one. I also ask that they would do this in a timely manner. This is the only sitting furniture that we have in our living room, I have back problems and need a comfortable place to sit in the evenings, so if they decide to do repairs then it must happen at my location, they will not be able to take it to a workshop to work on it.

Hello,

Review: On Sunday September 29th the bed began collapsing while I was sleeping in it. Upon pulling the mattress and box springs off the sleigh bed I discovered that the 3 support rails that the box spring and mattress were supported by had bend severely and was only held up by 3 supports. The entire support structure was made of thin rectangular hollow aluminum that seems very low quality. 2 of the support legs in the middle of 2 cross rails had bent up to 45 degrees, thereby the head of the bed collapsed downward over 8 inches suddenly. I took several pictures of the damage and was very disappointed to see the poor quality of the bed supports. This information was not made available during purchase since the show model is completely assembled in the store and professionals delivered and set up my furniture.

I contacted the store in which I originally purchased my products, which is not available in the Revdex.com database, and was instructed to contact their service department. I was informed that their service department is only open Monday to Friday. The bed frame and supports were not safe to reload with the mattress, forcing me to move the mattress to my dining room of my 1 bedroom apartment.

On Monday September 30th I contacted the service department via the phone number given to me by the local store rep. They took my information and said that since it was less than 1 year that they will send a 3rd party contractor out to fix the broken supports. I was told that I would contacted directly by the contractor within a day and allow me to schedule a time that works for me. The contract is [redacted]. I was not contacted until Wednesday October 2nd. The contractor rep said that the soonest opening they had was Thursday 10/10/2013 and they could not give me a time window until the day before. The time windows would be 2-3 hour windows and between 9am and 6pm. I inquired about picking times that would work better for me and prevent me from taking unpaid time from work but was told they cannot do that but could only request a specific window. They offered me a Saturday visit on 10/12/2013, which I tentatively accepted.

I contacted Ashley Furniture Service again on Wednesday 10/2/2013 and spoke to CSR [redacted]. I explained the situation and expressed my significant displeasure of having to sleep on the floor for 2 weeks. I explained that I had photographs detailing the damage and that if there was anything that could be done. [redacted] explained to me that the 3rd party contractor would come and evaluate the broken product and determine if repair or replacement is necessary. If repair could be done it would be done on site that day. If replacement was necessary, I would have to wait an additional 2 weeks for the part to be delivered and installed.

I explained to [redacted] that I felt the part was damaged and not repairable. I felt that waiting 2 weeks for the contractor and then an additional 2 weeks for the part to be delivered and installed. [redacted] asked if I would be able to email pictures of the damage and she would call me back shortly.. I sent 8 pictures to the email address she provided. I called back near the end of the day after no returned call and spoke with [redacted] again. I was informed that they believe to the damage not repairable and that Ashley would order a new part, the same exact frame, to my local store and then schedule replacement. It would take potentially over 2 weeks for the part to be delivered since it was not in stock. I was told that if I choose to disassemble the bed that any damage would not be covered.

I expressed my frustration that I would have to sleep on the floor, which could cause problems with the mattress, and if Ashley offered anything for the inconvenience. [redacted] informed me that the best she could do was offer me a $25 store credit for my inconvenience and would keep me updated about the status and try to rush the parts.

After one week of no responses I attempted to contact Ashley furniture via Facebook website. I received a response from the Facebook request that it is a local store issue and that I should contact the store I purchased from. After contacting my local store I was told to contact service and that they could do nothing.

I contacted Ashley though their corporate site and submitted a request about furniture warranty detailing this situation. I received an automated email that they received my response, however no ticket number was present where there should have been.

It is now 2 weeks since the part broke and I continue to sleep on the floor on my mattress.Desired Settlement: I want a proper bed frame to support a large mattress such as my kind size. The frame should be able to support 2 adults and the weight of the mattress. A steel frame would be stronger and I would not be as worried about the same part failing again after only 10 months of ownership.

I requested in my complaint via Facebook that an additional matching nightstand of my set would be a good gesture after spending thousands of dollars on furniture.

I also want compensation for the loss of use of my dining room in my apartment and the inconvenience of having to sleep on the floor and not being able to use my bedroom which is the one the larger rooms in my home.

2 weeks in simply unacceptable and the lack of response is troubling.

If anyone with a disability has this happen to them, where are they supposed to sleep? What if I became disabled or injured because of such an incident due to poor quality of materials? I feel that if this cannot be resolved fairly that a full refund plus interest for the bedroom set with additional compensation for the loss of use would be necessary.

Hello,

Review: On Sep. 22/2010 I purchased sectional sofas from [redacted]. The sofas are made by Ashley furniture industries inc. we purchased the sofas thinking they are made of leather. when we asked for help with the cream leather sofas no one in the store told us that these are not leather. In April 2014 we noticed cracking in the leather. We are a family of 3. [redacted]. We have taken care of the sofas with the best of our knowledge. In June 2014 all the sofas started peeling badly. I researched and found a manufacturers tag in the bottom of the sofas stating that are made of 100% polyurethane. I did some more research and found out that some compounds of polyurethane are toxic. I brought my complaints to both the seller([redacted]) with a manager named [redacted], & the manufacturer(Ashley furniture) [redacted] at consumer affairs on 8/19/14. I sent them pictures of the sofas and the receipts to prove purchase and the warranties. [redacted] told us that they don't sell any 100% leather furniture, this is a fact that they neglected to inform us about at time of purchase, due to the fact that I would not have spent $1675.88 in cash on polyurethane sofas.I told them that these sofas don't even consist of 1% leather and that they are 100% polyurethane. On 8/27/14 [redacted] from [redacted] called me and said that the warranty is for one year only & that they can't help us. The warranty doesn't state any coverage on polyurethane or synthetic leather material. It only states coverage on leather and fabric materials. On 9/5/14 I called [redacted] at Ashley furniture and she was unhelpful and rude with vague information. We have to vacuum our wooden floors every hour to pick up the shreds of polyurethane. I am concerned about my family's health and frustrated that neither of the two companies have taken my concerns seriously. Please help us resolve this matter Of dishonesty PLEASE!!!

Thank you,Desired Settlement: I would like Revdex.com to help us replace these sofas with none polyurethane made furniture because we would have never purchased them if their true composites where relayed to us.

Thank You.
