On December 1, 2024 I visited the City Furniture showroom in ******* and saw a particular set of chairs displayed with a dining room table alongside the price list on the table. I took pictures of the chairs, table, and pricelist located with the set and left to visit other locations before making a decision. Later that day, I decided to purchase the set of six chairs I had seen previously at City Furniture. A salesman, Kevin ******, had provided his card when I first arrived, so I called him and placed the order over the phone using the item number for the chairs shown on the price list. The chairs were scheduled for delivery on December 11th. However, upon reviewing the order confirmation the night before, I realized the chairs pictured on the invoice did not match the ones I saw in the showroom. I contacted the store immediately to resolve the issue. I spoke with *****, who explained that the chairs in the picture I took while at the showroom are priced at $299 each and not $199 as I had believed. She advised that designers sometimes move items around, which may have caused the confusion and that the chairs I saw with the dining room table and pricelist are not the ones that belong to that set. I asked ***** if City Furniture would honor the $199 price I saw in the showroom for the chairs I intended to buy. Unfortunately, she stated she didnt have the authority to do so. When I escalated the issue to the store manager, ******, he reiterated the same and said the price would not be adjusted.I understand that with such a large showroom, mistakes like this can happen, but it raises concerns about how often items might be misrepresented due to such movements. Customers might unknowingly purchase items thinking they are priced ************** may be worth investigating to find out how many other furniture pieces are deceitfully placed with the wrong prices lists to fool customers who may not realize the switch until they receive the wrong items at delivery.Business Response

We regret to hear that your experience did not meet the standard of service we strive to provide for all our customers. Our *********************** has been in contact with you regarding this matter, and as a resolution, we offered a 10% discount on the chairs along with Free Premium Delivery to address the discrepancy. However, we understand that you chose to decline this offer and decided to proceed with canceling the order. The cancellation was processed on 12/11/2024 (Credit #: 094091-3). We appreciate your feedback and will use this as an opportunity to improve.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22748542
I am rejecting this response because as I mentioned in my initial contact with store personnel including the store manager, I firmly believe the right course of action would be to honor the $199 price per chair as clearly indicated on the price list displayed next to the set, rather than charging $299. Offering a 10% discount off the total does little to address the significant price discrepancy and the higher cost I would incur as a result.It is both misleading and unacceptable to move items around the showroom and place higher-priced pieces where they don't belong, creating confusion for customers. This practice comes across as a deliberate bait-and-switch tactic, which erodes trust and can severely damage customer loyalty once exposed.
Sincerely,
******* ******Business Response

On December 20, 2024, I purchased a table from City Furniture, which was delivered on December 24, 2024. Shortly after delivery, I noticed the table was defective and contacted City Furniture, who scheduled a ***air appointment for December 27, 2024. I was given a 3.5-hour service window (1:00 - 4:30) for the ***air and ensured my availability during that time (I had to take the day off work). Unfortunately, the ***air technician never showed up. I received no notification or explanation.When I contacted City Furnitures customer service about the issue, I was treated in an unprofessional and disrespectful manner. The ***resentative implied that I was not truthful about the appointment time and claimed the appointment was scheduled for 7:00 pm. When I requested to speak to a manager to escalate my concerns, the customer service *** put me on hold for over 15 minutes and then disconnected the call. I then received a text from **** who claimed ot be a customer service manager. He asked me to call him if I staill needed to speak to a manager and left a phone number which ***** to the main customer service line. I asked to speak to ****, telling the *** who answered the phone I was returning his call. She didn't seem to know who **** was. She put me on hold and then told me he was on the other line and he would call me once he was done with the call he was on. This was at approximatelt 5:00 on Firday, 12/27/24. I have still not received a call back. I am very frustrated and without any resolution.The pictures show that the leafs on the table do not line up on either side, leave a gap when moved into place and are off center. The base looks like is was painted by a child. the paint globs at the top and bottom of the base are unsightly, and there are scratches in the paint and dents in the base. I am requesting a full refund of all funds paid for this defective table. Additionally, I expect City Furniture to pick up the defective table at no cost to me.Business Response

I purchased furniture from City Furniture and, at the time of purchase, I also acquired the City *************** Plan for peace of mind. After one year, the side arms of both my sofa and loveseat were broken, the springs became loose, and the sofa began to sag.I contacted the protection plan and filed a claim. While they agreed to address the issue with the sofa springs, they later informed me that they would order replacement parts for the side arms. However, after some time, I was told that the vendor had discontinued the product, and therefore, the parts could no longer be ********** an effort to resolve the issue, I visited the City Furniture store and requested assistance from a sales associate.

City Furniture sold me a $285.89 stain removal at home service when I bought a sofa last year.I called the customer service and they sent a technician out to my house.

We sincerely apologize we were unable to resolve the customer's claim.
Our Stain removal program is as stated, the claim submitted was for a general cleaning of all sectional pieces and unfortunately general cleaning is not provided under our stain program,
We provided the customer the option to obtain a professional cleaning and a discount to replace the sectional, the customer declined both options.
We agreed to cancel the *************** and Stain Removal Programs, and provide a refund for the amount paid, with a deduction for the amount of the Certified Repair Professional visit.
The customer will receive a refund of $253.89 within 14 days.

I am rejecting this response because: I spent more with your company during the period which means my new payments were applied in a manor that woul dhave solved the problem. You "finance company" has some very ugly and questionable practices. And your guilt too its not like you told me that your finance company would revert all the finance charges backwards. Its you being a very big part of some very shady practices. Your salesman surely **** be out there tellingb a few basic truths that I'm sure you and them are well aware of.

We apologize for any confusion regarding the Synchrony Financing Terms. The customer was enrolled in a ******** interest-free financing plan, where no interest would be charged as long as the balance was paid in full within the 12-month period. Unfortunately, in this case, the balance was not paid off by the end of the promotional period. As a result, interest was applied to the entire purchase amount, as outlined in the agreement, rather than just the remaining balance.Initial Complaint

I purchased 5 NEW lounge chairs from CityFurniture. All 5 chairs were delivered DAMAGED. I submitted the CLAIM the SAME DAY per the CityFurniture policy and requested either NEW chairs be delivered or RETURN the full order. The only option CityFurniture provided was to REFURBISH the chairs. I however did NOT BUY refurbished chairs and simply wanted NEW chairs, which is what I purchased. I've been going through a dispute via **************** where CityFurniture is claiming that providing NEW chairs is not within their policy. It's beyond frustrating that providing REFURBISHED is an acceptable policy. That's BAIT and SWITCH... why would they provide NEW products when their policy clearly states that they don't need to. It's UNETHICAL and should be ILLEGAL.Business Response

We do apologize for the inconvenience the customer has experienced.
We can offer the customer either an exchange like for like for the damaged product or a reselection.
For the reselection, the customer can visit the showroom and a sales agent will be able to assist them with the reselection process. We use the amount paid from the original invoice and apply funds toward the new invoice. Items chosen must be equal to or greater in value than the original purchase, if greater the customer will pay the difference. There is no restocking fee or delivery charge to reselect items. The technicians will remove the old pieces of furniture from the customer's home with the delivery of the new furniture. The *************** Program does not transfer over and the customer is responsible for the purchase of *************** if this option is chosen with the new invoice.

After placing order #******, I received the ******* **** ************* Reclining Sofa. Upon delivery, I noticed one side was extremely wrinkled, and the arm on the other side was heavily wrinkled. After two weeks, the wrinkles did not disappear, and one of the power recliners stopped working. Frustrated by the poor quality, I was informed I was eligible for a reselection. I was assured the delivery team would pick up the defective sofa and deliver the new one the same day. I visited the store and reselected the ******* **** Leather Couch. Since this couch was less expensive, I also chose a few additional items, including the ****** Multicolored Framed Wall Art. When the new delivery arrived, the sectional couch appeared mismatchedone side smooth, the other heavily wrinkled. The couch also did not include the power recliner I had requested. To complicate matters, the delivery team didnt know they were supposed to take back the old couch. After contacting customer service, I was told they couldnt pick it up until December 20. Eventually, the drivers made space on their truck for the old couch, but by this point, I had already informed customer service I no longer wanted the new couch due to its poor quality. During the same delivery, the drivers unpacked the ****** Multicolored Framed Wall Art, only to reveal the glass was broken. They attempted to place the shattered pieces back into the frame, but I refused to accept the damaged item. After they left, I contacted customer service again and was told my sales associate would get in touch. I also sent photos of the damaged couch to customer service, who agreed it looked like ************** Despite this, I never received a response from either sales associate I contacted.

I filed a warranty claim 3 months ago in which the process has been difficult from the start. I was scheduled 3 times till I finally saw a tech from the 50$ service I paid for. *************** tech came and within ************************************************************************************************ to report as he stated he couldn't repair. Tech never made repairs and left quick. 3 days later City furniture attempts to close my warranty claim "claiming repairs were done and the tech confirmed the repairs". I knew that wasn't correct and called *************** myself. After an hour and multiple phone calls it was determined that their tech submitted a fraudulent report to city claiming he was at my home for over an hour and used scissors to cut and make repairs. All in which never happened and updated photos of non repairs were sent to both *************** and City Furniture. I am being shut down by both companies and no one is willing to assist in repair/replace the peels/rips I've been reporting for 3 months on a brand new set of couches I paid $1,800 for. I have asked for both reports (the original and the revised as *************** emailed me confirming that the report would be revised to City after they reviewed the updated photos of non repairs). I was denied the report by *************** and City Furniture will not respond. I have requested numerous of times to speak with management at City and even held on the phone for over an hour, yet they fail to assist in escalating. I have also asked for their corporate information twice and was denied. As a consumer, this looks terrible and feels like I am being scammed from warranty kick backs at this point in time. All photos attached for proof of non repairs after the tech visit from city warranty claim alongside email proof from *************** confirming changing the warranty report. City furniture received a photo of a "repair" that was never done by the tech from ***************. This is bad...Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Again as stated - the Tech NEVER made repairs. I would like proof of repairs made by the tech sent to my email please..I would also like copies of both the original warranty report and the revised one submitted by saw enterprises. I spoke with the 3rd party company and attached proof of the email from *************** admitting to changing the warranty report because tech falsified information submitted to city furniture. Also, I have been reporting the same damage issue for 3 months. Nothing has changed and it still remains the same issue with the rips/peel from the seams. City furniture needs to assume responsibility for closing a warranty claim that was falsified by their 3rd party company, ***************. Reattaching email from saw enterprises stating they were going to change warranty claim report due to non repairs by tech.
Will I need to bring an attorney to assist in proving that my repairs were never made and *************** submitted a fraudulent warranty report which in turn city furniture has accepted to close my claim?

After spending a few hours at both stores and being assisted by Manager, ***** ******, it was advised that they had nothing in our $1,872.24 budget, even after spending some time searching the internet. All options resulted in me, the consumer, having to come out of pocket additional monies to replace the set I have at home - and again the poor quality issues is not my fault and I shouldn't have to come out of pocket additional monies to get good quality from City Furniture.

We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the customer's concerns. We believe we have been more than fair in offering a reasonable resolution and have communicated the details of our offer thoroughly.
We spoke with the customer at length regarding their claim and extended a resolution that included the option to reselect a complete sectional, which we believe was more than reasonable. On January 21st *****, we advised the customer to visit a ********************** showroom to make their reselection and provided a deadline of January 27, 2025, to complete this process. Additionally, we offered complimentary Premium Delivery as part of the resolution.
As explained to the customer, the reselection must be for items of equal or greater value. If the selected items exceed the original purchase price, the customer would be responsible for the price difference. We do not provide compensation for global inflation, as pricing is subject to market conditions beyond our control. Please see the attachment of the email sent to the customer on On January 21st ,************** the resolution. We believe our offer was more than fair in striving for an amicable resolution.

Hi ****, I am a bit confused as to why city furniture never returned my call after I visited both of their stores. I understand I was given 3 options and made it very clear that if I couldnt find anything I was willing to continue exploring options so I can close this and move on.
*Store credit. *cut a check and be mailed on a number city furniture decided *or try and look for another set at both stores were the 3 options I was given. After visiting both of their stores and not being able to find anything because they discontinued my set, I requested city furniture to call me back so I can move forward with getting a check mailed so I can contact a 3rd party to repair the sofa set. City furniture never returned my call. I just emailed them separately again as to why I cant move forward with another option?

On November 30, 2024, I purchased the ***** sectional from City Furniture in ************** from ****. To begin, the shopping experience was horrible but I needed to have a new couch prior to Christmas. When I went to purchase the *****, **** advised that by purchasing the right bumper I would receive it by December 16, 2024 as the left bumper in Grey was further delayed and did not meet my timeframe while the beige color was delayed until January 2025. Upon purchasing, **** advised that I would not be able to schedule my shipment until two weeks prior to the 16th and that City Furniture would email me and he would call. Understandably, I waited well within the 14 day timeframe until December ******* where I checked and the scheduled delivery date was December *******. I proceeded to call the store where **** was not available and I was transferred to ************** At that time, the representative scheduled my delivery for December 17, 2024. Of course today, December *******, when I check to see why I had not received confirmation of my delivery, the website reflects that the sectional would not be delivered until December 29, 2024 which is outside of the timeframe in which I need the couch. After reaching out to the store, I spoke to **** from ************* who advised that the product is back ordered and there was no reservation for my couch and they dont know when the couch would be available. The automatic system nor anyone contacted me or have contacted me to meet my needs. Unfortunately, Ive been provided no remedy or alternatives.Business Response

We regret that the customer did not receive the experience we strive to provide. After speaking with the customer, we informed them that, unfortunately, the sectional is currently on backorder. We have escalated their concerns about the scheduling process to our leadership team for further review.
The customer is currently scheduled for delivery of the ** ***** ** **** MICRO LEFT **** (SKU: *******) on 12/31/2024. The ** ***** ** **** MICRO RIGHT BUMPER (SKU: *******) has an estimated arrival date of Friday, 01/03/2025. If the customer prefers, we can combine both deliveries on or after 01/03/2025 to have the sectional delivered together.
As a gesture of goodwill, we offered the customer a credit for half of their delivery fee if they were willing to wait. This credit will be applied once all pieces are delivered.
We sincerely thank the customer for their understanding and patience throughout this process.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response as the information is inaccurate. Following my initial complaint, ******* or ****** reached out to me where we discussed the entire issue and she confirmed my timeline was accurate and she needed to investigate further. That same evening, she called me back advising that she was pending a response from the ************************* as I told her I wished to either have the floor model to ensure that City Furniture could rectify what their Sales Associate, **** promised and fixed the issue of ****** unjust cancellation of my initial delivery for December 17, 2024. ******* or ****** stated she would call me back the day, Wednesday, December 18, 2024, to provide an update. She never called back, never followed up again, and I am still at a disadvantage as prior to City Furniture's response to this message, ALL EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMER CARE HAVE FAILED TO COMMUNICATE OR RECTIFY THE ISSUE.Furthermore, the response is inaccurate as when I track my Order, all pieces reflect that they are to be delivered on December 31, 2024, with no mention of January 3, 2025 anywhere on the site.
Sincerely,

We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the customers order. As previously stated, we can offer to refund half of the delivery fee if the customer is willing to wait for the back-ordered item. Please note that the dates are subject to change.
Currently,the ** ***** ** **** MICRO RIGHT BUMPER (SKU: *******) is back-ordered until 1/161/26. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a floor model.However, the customer has the option to either:
Reselect an alternative item, or
Receive a full refund.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response as the only communications on this matter being sent are through this site. No one has called me nor emailed me pertaining to this matter.As such, how is City Furniture rectifying the issue as your Sales Associate lied despite knowing the date I needed the couch by and proceeded to cancel/unreserve my December 17 delivery date without communicating with me nor ever explaining why he would do such a thing. Furthermore, City Furniture has yet to communicate with me properly on this matter but has found time to respond here.
If I select an alternative, will I be expected to pay any price difference?
Sincerely,
***** ******
