  I have inherited a few Ethan Allen items from family and friends over the years and been happy. When it came time to get a new dining room table, I shopped around, but wanted a quality piece that I could have for a long while. I selected the Livingston Dining Table. It is made to order so I knew it would take a while. A couple of months later, the table was delivered seamlessly.
  I noticed right away that the tabletop's veneer had some lighter spots. It was noticeable, but not too bad and I just thought I was being particular.
  About a week later I noticed what looked like scratches on the surface. We hadn't used the table yet, so it didn't make sense. Upon closer inspection it was clear that these weren't scratches; the veneer was cracking from the underside.
  I contacted EA and they got back to me right away and asked for photos which I sent along.
  They told me that they would likely send someone out or just replace the top.
  Then they told me that it looks like water damage.
  Ok, but we haven't had a flood, ceiling leak, nor placed anything with moisture or heat even on the table.
  In fact, we weren't using the table because the veneer's cracks were spreading. And the wood had a clear break in it and was likely causing the crack.
  We reached out again and they just ghosted us.
  Never again.
  And, I have a friend who swears by EA and that's who his interior designer uses. Or used to. I told him what happened and showed him the damage, and said they just left us out to dry, $3k poorer and with a table that is going to just pop the veneer in a matter of months.
  They don't stand behind their products.

  I have owned Ethan Allen couches that I inherited for the last 20 years and they were amazing! The cushions never broke down and some of my guests preferred to sleep on the couch because it was so comfortable. Unfortunately, we lost everything in a house fire. We ordered two couches from Ethan Allen with the feather blend cushions because these are what we had before. Imagine my surprise when the cushions were about 1/2 the height of the sample ones in the store. You can feel the frame beneath the cushions. Every guest that comes over complains about them as well and is surprised when I tell them they are Ethan Allen couches. I have been going through the process of trying to get them replaced for over a year now. I was told they are indeed faulty, but that there's nothing they can do for me. I'm not asking for the couches to be replaced or even all the cushions, just the cushions you sit on. They told me it was my error because we didn't "fluff" them enough. There isn't even enough filling to fluff! I used my insurance replacement money to buy these and cannot afford alternate couches. To say I am heartbroken is an understatement. Not only did I lose all my earthly belongins in a fire, but now I have furniture that is almost unusable. Ethan Allen is now poor quality with terrible customer service! I would stay away if possible.

  Horrible experience!! Bought my first set of furniture for my new house from Ethan Allen and have been very disappointed. First of all, they told me that I would receive my bedroom set in October when I ordered the set in July. Every piece came separate and way later than promised. I JUST received my bed December 30,2023. With that being said, 3 out of the 4 pieces had cosmetic issues. I have had multiple issues with my bedroom set and have not heard from anybody but the store manager. Claims that everybody at corporate is involved but have not heard from a single person from corporate. They want to take my bed set back and "hand paint" it themselves. Delivered the bed with touch ups that are not acceptable. I am not paying this amount for furniture to be hand painted and touched up. Black smudges and missing paint on every piece of furniture except for dresser. Also have not offered any compensation but refunding my delivery fee for all of my troubles. VERY disappointing. DID NOT pay this amount for furniture to get hand painted/touched up items that will not last a long time. I am just so furious that they have not offered to compensate for any of this.

  Senior Management from our Corporate Office did have a long conversation with ***** * on 1/3/24 prior to receiving this review from the BBB. We believe that ***** * called our design center asking for the manager who was off that day, then asked for someone from corporate to call her. Our Senior Manager from our Corporate Office called her back that afternoon and we believe in the meantime she posted this with BBB earlier that day before we had the opportunity to address the concerns with her.
  ***** *’s order came from our manufacturing facility in ******** ******* that has experienced a natural disaster earlier this year which has unfortunately led to delays. As to resolve the delays and quality concerns provided by ***** *, we have reordered her items as to procure new ones, refunded her delivery fee, and provided an additional accommodation. The ******* manufacturing plant has been notified to color match and expedite the replacements, and we will also color match those items to the double dresser she has in her home currently. ***** * seemed pleased with this plan at the conclusion of our Senior Manager’s call with her.

  We purchased 2 sofas from Ethan Allen in May 2023. After the sofas were delivered we noticed the sofas piping did not line up properly on the seat cushions. The fabric on the cushions is loose and does not fit properly around the cushion. We contacted our sales associate Emmeline at the ********* ******* store immediately after the delivery. After an exchange of phone calls relaying our dissatisfaction she came out to our home and spent 1 1/2 hours trying to rearrange the cushion fillers on each cushion to make the piping line up and smooth the fabric. She took pictures of the sofa to take back and show the design team.
  After a two week delay they determined that if we just sat on the sofa it would “break the cushions in”. This did not resolve the problem. I told the sales associate Emmeline that this was not acceptable and asked that she advise her store manager to come out to the house and see the sofas. I have not received a phone call from anyone from Ethan Allen after making numerous attempts to contact them regarding this problem. Ethan Allen states in their advertisements they mail out to customers “we craft all our custom upholstery in our North American workshops. That means you can take advantage of our full catalog of custom options, and the pieces you choose will be hand-tailored by the world’s finest artisans”. We did receive a fine custom order.

  The home call went well, I did find that the seat and back casings had puckering along the sides as they were not sewn correctly. also, the seat cushions were mushy and holding up. I am ordering the new all new seat and back casings with inserts. Informed the client that the comfort wrinkle is normal so she will also see them in the new ones. We are doing a dye lot match.
  We also are ordering a new LAF arm panel as it is also puckering and very loose and was sewn incorrectly.
  She also has 2-night tables, and one is yellowing went in for credit on that.
  I explained all this to the client, and she was pleased with the solutions and said she will wait patiently.

  Purchased a dining table in November of 2022, it was delivered in December of 2022. This dining table (no chairs) listed for $2700, it was discounted to $1960 for this purchase. Now in November of 2023 the coating (white Sea Salt is the color) of the table top is blistering and chipping. I sent photos to the local Ethan Allen Design Center. In a day they got back to me saying the blistering is due to moisture and is NOT covered under the Limited Warranty (this table is less than a year old). It would have been covered under the Protection Plan, which we declined. So, we purchased a dining table that cannot tolerate spills and normal use. Their technician said that he cannot fix it. We have found a company that will refinish the dining table for use as a DINING table at our expense. In the future we will consider other furniture manufactures before ever make another purchase from Ethan Allen.

  Response to BBB Case Complaint # ****** ******* ********** ******** - SO# ********** 
  Nov 7th 2023
  In response to the complaint about delivery timeframe and product quality.
  Client made a purchase for a dining table and chairs in November 2022. The dining table was backordered and ETA ship date took longer than expected. The shipping priority for the dining table was escalated internally to take care of this order knowing it had exceed the original shipping ETA provided.
  Ethan Allen offered several tools to aid our clients in protecting their investments.
  • We offer a complete use and care guide on EthanAllen.com for all of our products. Printed on both, your signed paperwork at point of purchase and your signed delivery ticket on delivery day, there is a QR code that outlines use and care for our products.
  • Ethan Allen additionally offers custom made table pads to use with our dining tables and buffet/servers. These table pads are moisture resistant, have a heat shield built in and come with a storage bag to put them away when not using them.
  • We also offer the 5 year accident protection plan for our products, so you can live life, enjoy your furniture and not worry if an accident happens.
  Ethan Allen stands behind it’s quality and products but cannot repair or replace products that have concerns that are non-quality or warranty defect related.
  Moisture left on wood surfaces, some cleaning agents used to sanitize or wash a table can break down the finish. It can be a slow migration that has a long-term effect.
  Ethan Allen has reviewed the concerns, it is deemed to be damage from use. We have extended a technician that has experience in restoration of dining tables. This service would be at the expense of the client.
  We would also like to extend the offer of 50% off a new dining table if they choose to replace this one and we will add the 5 year accident protection to that new table for no extra charge because we understand that this is an investment and furniture that is enjoyed everyday.

  The furniture quality is very poor. I have had my couch for 2 weeks and multiple dimples are noticeable on the cushions. The couch was $4500. Do NOT buy anything from Ethan Allen.

  The delivery process is deceitful. The had me pay in full before they tried to schedule my delivery and the games started. I had to change the delivery date and they wanted me yo pay another $100 before they would reschedule me. You have no choice because they have your item and you have paid in full. This is trickery. I will never do business w EA again despite a 30 yr history. The company has deteriorated. I will go to ******* *** ****** center because they have excellent customer service and delivery

  We had the design center provide recommendation for our new home. We loved what they came up with and purchased almost everything. Trouble came five months later when one of the two ***** display cabinet lights stopped working after very minimal usage. Someone came to inspect it, we were told its a known issue, and to wait. It's now approaching 4 months and nothing, no update, no fix. Even calls to the store manager went unreturned. I expected the quality to be better or for them to provide a fix or replacement in a reasonable amount of time but it seems like you're forgotten after you spend LOTS of money. I guess I'll wait a year and hopefully the other cabinet doesn't go out.

  I am a long-term customer going back 50 years to 1973 and have purchased many pieces - most I still have. My latest purchase was 2 years ago (2021) when I bought a ******** QS leather recliner. This piece of furniture cost $2700 on sale. 2 years later the dye from the leather headrest has discolored. Customer service refused to do anything stating I am out of warranty. I have Ethan Allen leather chairs over 30 years old that still look like new. Ethan Allen is no longer a quality company, their products are overpriced, and customer service is a joke.

  Mrs. *********
  We apologize for your disappointment in your most recent purchase with us. As we discussed, body oils can absorb into different leathers with daily use and as a result, the leathers dye can fade. After our review, it was found that this is what is happening to your chair. While this is out of the warranty period, it was determined that this is being caused by something that is not covered under our warranty. Therefore, we provided you with the name and number of one of the best leather technicians in the area and they will be able to resolve your concerns.

  Buyer Beware of Ethan A**** product quality. We spent close to $6,000 on a dining set. The chairs, which took 4 months to arrive, are extremely poor quality. One of the chairs has cracked at the seams, and the others are manufacted in the same manner. It's a fatal design flaw.
  Ethan A**** refused to acknowledge the poor quality, even when sending pictures. These chairs were less than 6 weeks post delivery when we noticed what was happening.

  Ethan Allen has responded to client's concern regarding damage to 1 dining chair and new chair frame is in production and will be delivered to client upon receipt. Ethan Allen does not acknowledge any design flaw in the chair as it has successfully sold and delivered hundreds of these same chairs without incident. As stated to the client, wood can sometimes crack for a variety of reasons. We remain committed to fulfill our obligation to our clients per the terms and conditions of sale. Ethan Allen stands behind its products by offering all clients warranty protections against any defects and it will stand by its commitments in this case as well.
