  I purchased a sofa sectional from the business in December. In January, I filed a warranty claim that the springs were making loud noises. That would be the first of 3 times that the couch would go to them back and forth. Each time, it came back with the same issue. I've received horrific customer support. From being lied to, to being blamed for the damage, I was told not to use it as an AIRBNB couch (which it's my personal home, not a rental), that the couch wasn't designed to have a child on it. I've tried to show them the issue with video evidence and they refuse to look at it. I've asked for an exchange as a gesture to put this issue aside and they've since refused, aside from charging me 20% plus other fees, which I am unable to pay that amount again.

  Per our records this sofa was brought into our shop to repair the spring clips and spring clip board 4 times even though the customer mentioned that his child was jumping on it (it isn't a matter of it was made for children or not) We did the repairs at no charge to the customer. The issues were not found to be a manufacturing defect and is not covered under warranty. Any other repairs will need to be paid for by the consumer. Thank you, AFW

  As you can see what I'm dealing with from this company. Continuing to lie or gaslight.

  "Child jumping on couch", I don't believe I ever said that. Or if I did say it, it was in the vernacular of "getting on the couch" since the couch height is above her waist. She'd have to "jump" to get up on the couch.

  I've attached a video with the noise, which has been constant during all their "repairs". I'd like someone to answer how this is a manufacturer standard.

  I've asked numerous times to have it repaired or replaced, and I've tried to be fair. I've submitted warranty claims on 1/27, 2/26, and 3/10. I've barely had the couch in my living room since January because each of these interactions has taken multiple weeks.

  As I expressed to the service people numerous times, I purposefully picked this couch out, and would like to keep it - in a form that isn't making noise/broken. I'd be happy with them replacing it, but not at exorbitant delivery fees/or restocking fees. I feel it's unfair to pay for this couch again, especially after their service has been horrific.

  Order#: 84J271976 Order date: 10/22/2023 Delivered: 10/27/2023 Order total: $1,478.25 We bought a couch from this company. We had 3 issues come up that we reached out to the warranty department to have them resolve. We were out a couch for 2 weeks while it was being fixed and when they delivered it back to us 2 of the 3 issues were not resolved and another issue popped up. They are picking the couch up again and will be out a couch for another 2 weeks, so that is a whole month worth that we are going to be without with no guaranteethe issues will be resolvedsince they weren'tthe first time. We asked for store credit to purchase another couch from them and they refused. At this point we'd like a refund.

  We bought a sectional with electrical recliner, Right before the 1 year warranty was up the motor in the on recliner broke rendering the recliner unable to open. We contacted American Furniture Warehouse to come and fix the problem, after coming to our house they informed us that they dont make this sectional any longer. In turn they couldnt get the parts to fix it. Mind you at this time we under the one year ***** They didnt get back to us My wife continued to call and email with no response. In November they notified us that they couldnt repair it and the are gonna see what could be done I called today 3/25/24 and apparently they came to a decision in Nov to allow us to return the piece with a 30 dollar usage fee taken out. The store never informed us of this Decision and now they are refusing to take the piece back or fix it citing we are beyond the warranty.

  I ordered a sofa and delivery did not meet expectations. On the app the delivery was delayed so I walked my dogs. The app showed eta 410 the app is false information. they driver arrived at 335 and I missed the call. I called back in 10 min to now not have a couch. I am requesting all money including delivery fee credited back to me. I confirmed delivery and they could have buzzed in the gate. I am listed. Horrible service and the manager of the store was rude and inconsiderate.

  I purchased two chairs from AFW in *********, ** but had to drive to *******, ** to pick them up. When I picked the two chairs up, one was sealed in a box and the other was put together, draped in plastic, and in an open box that was cut in half. I tried to decline the one that was open but it was the last one in stock and the associate assured me it was new. After getting home and unloading the chairs, the one in the sealed box was in two pieces and in perfect condition. The second one in opened box was cut up, marked with ******, and missing the floor seal. Pictures attached.. I returned the used chair and was told it would be mid-February before new ones arrived. In early February I recieved a call that my replacment chair was in. I drove to ******* again to pick up the chair. This chair was also assembled, covered in draped plastic, and has a large stain on the seat. Pictured attached.. I called customer service at the direction of the ********************** was directed to drive back to ********** He reassued me that they had recenly got some in stock and that they were new and in box. Arriving at ********** there were three chairs, all assembled and in open boxes. They again assured me they were new so I took one and drove back home. After getting home and pulling off the plastic it was obvious this was also a used chair. It was marked with ******, had a hole underneath it, and had the seal bent and smashed. AFW provided me three used chairs and I had to drive 80+ miles to get them. AFW expects me to continue to drive all the way back out to their stores for a 5th time in hopes someday I'll get a new chair. I I purchased a new chair and should have received one the first time. Aside from AFW reselling used furniture, I feel at this point I should at a minimun get a new chair delivered. I've also attached a picture of what the one new chair looked like to help see how obvously used the others were.

  I am rejecting this response because:  AFW did call me as they stated and I returned their call last week.  A delivery and exchange was set up for today (Tuesday, February 20th).  I did not receive the day before phone call with delivery time as they stated I would so I took the whole day off of work.  At 9:15 a.m. and after still not hearing from them I called customer service to get an update.  **************** stated they have no delivery/exchange or date/time scheduled for me in their system.  I'm still without the chair and now have a missed day of work and will probably need to take another Friday for the new delivery date.  Unbelievable.

  Hello we aren't seeing why our response was rejected however we agreed to delivering out another chair and it is scheduled to be delivered 02/23/24. I believe we scheduled the delivery after this complaint was submitted.

  I am rejecting this response because you delivered another used or incomplete chair.  I was told this one was thoroughly inspected as was guaranteed new.  The base was missing 1 of 4 screws.  Also, one of the screws was replaced with a random silver philips head s**** because I assume the original and proper s**** was missing.  Also, the seal that shoiuld be attached to the base ring is not installed. This was the NEW chair that you said was THOROUGHLY INSPECTED.   Next chiar delivered will be my 5th attempt at getting a new and unused chair.

  Delivery for this value customer come out of our ******** location, and with that we are having others coming from another location so that we can schedule a delivery with no fees to the customer. We also have comments in the invoice to leave the chair in the box/carton. Thank you.

  BBB,

  Looking for guidance.  The most recent delivery was another used product as shown in the pictures.  I asked that they not send me another open (and probably used) box item.  I let them know I'd prefer to wait for the next shipment to arrive vs. receiving another used product.  This is not scheduled until mid-March to early April.  Do I accept and close this complaint or do I keep rejecting it until I get a new chair?  If I accept and close, and then get another used product, what do i do?  

  Thank you,

  I purchased a couch and a loveseat from AWF due to their statement of quality furniture at affordable prices. I am a single parent on disability so I have to be careful with my resources.Not long after the seams started unraveling in the cushions, the couches were not near a comfortable as the ones I sat on in the store. I filed a warranty request and it was ignored. Now the recliner ejection clasp has broken and cant be used. My couches are junk and i feel I was mislead with the quality furniture and warranty. Pictures were submitted originally and I never heard back. I cant believe they can market quality furniture with what I have been given. Its unfair to individuals who trust in the company and their warranty claims. Now I have uncomfortable falling apart junk and cant afford to just go out and buy something else when I invested my savings into a non quality set of couches

  Sectional $2774 purchased 11/20/2023. It was delivered several days later on a Saturday at 9:30 pm. And set up extremely fast.. We noticed the following week that the sectional individual pieces had not been connected. Some from the warehouse came out and put it all together. When he slid the recliner back the floor had been damaged with planks torn into the plank. He said this is fresh. When I called the store manager he said there was nothing he could do and actually game me the movers name and number. I told him I bought the furniture from and not a moving company

  The items were returned to us on 12/13/23. The customer originally paid using ***** Fargo financing. Once the items were returned the refund is credited back to ***** Fargo, not directly to the customer. So, she needs to contact ***** Fargo in regard to her financing balances.
