I purchased 4 barstools from city furniture on 11/19/2024. I also purchased a warranty for these items (******). One item was delivered damaged. I attempted to refuse the items upon delivery but was told someone would be out to fix the item. The representative was unable to repair the item. I was told to reselect another item of real or greater value- they do not do refunds (seems anti consumer to have this policy). I selected a replacement item. The items never arrived due to customer service error (see communication). I am now told the items I selected for replacement are on back order until May 2025. I want my money back.Business Response

We apologize for any inconvenience and frustrations this has caused the customer. It is never our intention to not fulfill our customer's complete order. The vendor provides us with an estimated date of arrival. This date can change based on reasons beyond our control. The customer can visit the showroom and a sales agent will be able to assist them with the reselection process.Customer Answer

This response is non responsive. The fault is of City Furniture by 1) delivering an item that was defective, 2) sending a repair person who was not prepared with the needed part, 3) asking me to choose a replacement item of equal or greater value (inducing me to spend more at your company due to your delivery of damaged goods) and refusing a refund for the delta of an item of lesser value, 4) failing to place the replacement order properly due to customer service failure. The replacement items were in stock when I placed this order (see documentation indicating stools would be available by 12/25/2024 and what I was told verbally on the phone when I placed the order):Please also confirm to me and document for BBB that your policy is to rescind the 3 year in home warranty purchased upon replacement of defective stools - which is unconscionable. You delivered defective items and now my 3 year in home warranty is null for replacement items.
I will be seeking remedy through small claims court in *****************. I believe this company is taking advantage of consumers.

We regret to hear that the customers experience did not meet the high standards we strive to provide for all our customers. We make every effort to be clear and transparent about our policies and offer multiple options when an item is delivered with damage.
In this case, the reported damage to the chair leg was determined by our technician to be repairable with replacement parts. We offered a service appointment to address the issue; however, the customer declined the repair. To accommodate the customer further, we provided alternative solutions, including concessions to keep the item as-is or the option to reselect to a different set of chairs since the original chairs are now discontinued.
To resolve the situation, the customer may choose to:
Reselect a different set of chairs with complimentary Premium Delivery, or
Return the chairs for a full refund, as this issue stemmed from the initial delivery.
We remain committed to working with the customer to ensure a satisfactory resolutionCustomer Answer

Purchased a sofa and love seat recliner in Aug 2024. When it was delivered we noticed it didn't fit our space, called & tried to request to let us return it and buy one that would fit our space our request was denied eventhough we provided photos of the issue. Fast forward 3 months and now the loveseat makes noise & the *** port broke. Setup an appt for repair, the tech did not call and cancelled the appt claiming originally he came to the house and no one was home. After advising we work from home & the ring camera shows no one came the story changed to "he called & you didn't return the call to confirm the appt so it was cancelled". Cust serv manager is unable to get a tech out today we had to reschedule and now waiting to see if they won't do the same. This is the worse customer experience I have ever had in my life, the company won't work with you at all. At this point I would prefer to return the furniture, receive a refund for what I have paid and buy something someplace else or at least receive compensation toward the cost to alleviate the added stress & time it has cost me to deal with their customer "service".Business Response

As per our return policy, once an item has been delivered, refunds or reselections are not available. Currently, the customer has a repair technician visit scheduled for January 13. Once the technician completes the visit and provides their report, we will have the necessary information to assist further with the claim.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22790387
I am rejecting this response because:The technician came and was unable to hear the cracking noise, he lubricated the springs as they are squeaky and advised the *** port is needed but he is not able to do anything about the first noise reported. He did agree the springs are squeaky and advised to report the noise once it came up again and he was hoping it would happen by the time the new *** port is delivered.
The noise did come up after he left, I reported the issue to City Furniture and advise I want a replacement as the loveseat is less than 4 months old and should not be having any issues. They denied the request and are now asking for a SECOND opinion and need me to once again make time for another technician.
I refuse to continue paying for furniture that's damaged and not up to the quality new furniture should operate. I would like either a partial adjustment to my City Furniture account or a replacement for the loveseat. We paid the extended warranty and its become a nightmare to have it repaired or exchanged. When we were sold the furniture we were reassured the process would be easy. This process has been nothing near easy, this is quite frustrating, it has added a new level of stress to my life, waiting on long hold times to speak with someone, fearing not to get a call back, fearing my appts are cancelled without notice. The experience is traumatizing and unnecessary, this isn't free we pay every month and is unfair to have to continue dealing with such awful customer service.
Based on this awful, traumatizing experience one gathers City Furniture does not care to create lasting relationships with customers. They are only in it for a quick sale and move on to the next person having the need to buy something which is horrible.

I am rejecting this response because:There hasn't been any help from City Furniture's end, in the end we are having to adjust to what they force us to do.

We got delivery of furniture from City Furniture on November 18th, 2024. Both the reclining sofa (wrinkled) and the white sectional came damaged. The reclining sofa was on backorder until January for replacment. The white sofa they delivered again and that again was damaged. Both times the white sofa had broken frames. You can see if the picture the back of sofa is pushed in. They were going to deliver both pieces again today, but the City Furniture Warehouse called me and sent me pictures of what they were going to deliver which was damaged sofas again. I have called customer service many times and they only say that I can exchange the sofas (2) for other sofas. There is nothing in their store that I want and have gone there several times. I have lost all confidence in this company since it has been three deliveries and the furnitures keep coming damaged. I want a refund and they can come get their sofas. They will NOT honor my request. They told me that I could've refused shipment originally, but they also didn't tell me that, they told me that they would replace it. So after 3 attempts to deliver new undamaged furniture, I want to refuse their shipment and get a full refund. I was on the phone with three people today and spent 2 hours on the phone to get an answer that a Manager would call me back and has never called me back. This company should back their products and they are blaming it on the manufacturer, but that is not my problem. I feel that they did NOT deliver a quality product and with that, they should honor my request to refund me for the damaged goods and come pick up their furniture. I have yet to move into this house and have not even used this furniture yet. Please help me get my $7,148.54 back. I appreciate your help!! This is the worst furniture store that I have ever had to deal with. Thank you for your time and ****************** regards,****Business Response

Bought furniture set on 5/24/23 and was promised $500 statement credits as part of promotion. Never received the credit. Salesman **** ****** confirmed I should receive and sales manager ****** ******* also confirmed. To date, I have not received. They both stated it was an incentive to get me to buy the set, but could not explain how I would receive. I have emails and voicemails from both confirming I should receive. Also attached flyer showing the promotion. Although, this specific flyer was not from that time frame, it is an example of what was in effect when I purchased.Customer Answer

Although the initial purchase was in 2023, I was told the statement credits would not occur until the end of the finance payoff period with was in May of 2024. It was at this point that I began my dispute with City Furniture. Is there any way in which you can assist?Business Response

We apologize for any inconvenience the customer has experienced. According to our records, the customer claimed a Reward Card in 2023 valued at $250.
Please note that Elite Rewards does not have access to the customer's transaction history or balance information. The Reward Card details would have been sent directly via email.
If the customer requires further assistance, please let us know.Customer Answer
Date: 01/30/2025
Yes, I agree, I did receive the $250 reward card as mentioned. However, that is not what I am disputing. The salesperson stated I would receive $500 in statement credits towards the end of my credit card promotional period. He confirmed in the email I attached previously and it was confirmed by the general manager via email as well. I still did not receive the promised credit and went to the store where I purchased. The manager on duty, once again confirmed I was eligible and later left a voicemail to that effect as well. He was uncertain about the specifics of how it was credited, but repeatedly stated it was an incentive to get me to purchase. The incentive worked, as I did purchase, but I never received the promised credits. I would like the promised $500 statement credit or something equivalent in value.Customer Answer

We apologize for any confusion the guest may have encountered. Based on the promotion offered at the time of purchase, the guest is eligible for a $250 gift card rather than a $500 gift card.

I am rejecting this response because:This is unacceptable. The confusion does not rest with me. I just cant determine if your sales staff and GMs need training or if they willfully lied to me. I completely understand the $250 gift card promotion. As I stated, this is not the issue. The issue is your salesman, **** ****** said there were two concurrent promotions going on, with the second one being $500 in statement credits. After I did not receive them, the fact that I SHOULD have was confirmed by your GM, *** ****** and later by the store manager, ****** *******. Do you not stand by the written and verbal commitments of your staff?

How did the business make a "good faith effort" to resolve my issue? They had three different employees tell me in writing I am entitled to a $500 credit and yet they won't honor it. I guess there isn't anything I can do, but I thought the BBB was a consumer advocate. I guess I was mistaken. I'm not really sure what your function is other than to take the side of the business. I suppose a small claims case is my next option. What BS.Initial Complaint

On 12/26/21, I purchased and took delivery of a leather love seat and matching chaise along with a Product Protection Plan which covered the leather against any issues/damage for 3 years for which they would either repair or replace the product. In 2023 my 1 yr old grandson drew a line on the love seat leather with a pen. I notified City Furniture and they sent a repair person who spray painted the leather over the ink spot. Several months later I noticed the paint wore off and notified City Furniture. They sent another repair person who again spray painted the leather. Last month I noticed the paint had again wore off the same ink spot and called City Furniture on 1/06/25. They informed me that the warranty had now expired and were no longer responsible. In summary, they did not repair or replace the furniture as was explicitly explained to me they would by Mr. ***** *****, the City Furniture salesperson who sold me both the furniture and the warranty.Business Response

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the customer has experienced with their purchase and the Stain Protection Plan. City Furnitures Stain Protection Plan provides coverage for upholstered furniture and area rugs that become stained by common household foods, beverages, ink, or human or pet bodily fluids during normal residential use within three (3) years of delivery. This agreement covers stain removal only and does not extend to general soiling.
In this case, the customers Stain Protection Plan has expired. However, as a gesture of goodwill, we have offered a courtesy service to send one of our certified repair technicians to the customers home to attempt to remove the stain. The appointment is scheduled for 1/16/2025.
While we will do our best to assist, if the stain cannot be removed, no further action can be taken due to the plan's expiration. We will follow up with the customer after the service appointment to ensure all concerns are addressed to the best of our ability.Initial Complaint

I purchased a Cream colored leather power reclining sectional in 2021 in **************, **. I bought the 3year warranty which covers stain, tears etc. I have had previous issues with this sectional and all issues were resolved by company,except the one I called about on 12/30/24. The reclining armless chair has stains on the back and seat of chair, making it stand out from the rest of the sectional. The stains are dark. When I called yesterday the very rude person said it must be a natural discoloration and my warranty does not cover this!! What!!! This is obviously a product defect in the leather of this chair since the sectional is attached together and no other piece looks like this. City Furniture does not want to cover this warranty claim because my warrant expires in January 2025!!!Business Response

My recent experience with the delivery of my furniture was nothing short of a disaster. Every single piece arrived damaged, indicating a significant issue during transport. I promptly reported the problem, expecting swift and professional assistance, but instead, I was met with rudeness and an unsettling lack of professionalism.When I spoke with the representative, employee number *****, I was unfortunately subjected to yelling, which is utterly unacceptable in any customer service scenario. To make matters worse, the information I received was inconsistent and contradictory to what I had been told by the previous representative. This kind of disrespect is not only disappointing but also a grave oversight in customer service.I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation. I am requesting a full refund for the damaged items, as it is only fair given the circumstances. It is imperative that this matter be resolved without delay.Business Response

We regret to learn the customer experienced issues with their purchase. Earlier today, we reached out to the customer to discuss potential resolutions for the damaged furniture.
As part of our efforts to address the concern, we offered the following options:
A service appointment with one of our certified repair specialists to address the scratched pieces.
