When my recliner broke, I went and bought one at your store in Eastgate on March 22. I am 88 years old and many nights I sleep in my recliner. On March 27, I found and told La-Z-Boy I was going to either cancel or at least delay the purchaof the chair because the chairI owned might be fixable. On 29 March, I called and canceled the purchase of the chair because my old cut chair was fixed. The man I talked to said I had to talk to ****** and ****** was not there. I called ****** on Monday and he said hehad to talk to someone else. I think the name was ***. I have heard nothing from anyone. You have the chair and you have $2100 my money. When I talked to ******, I tried to convince him it would be good business not to get a bad reputation and that he should giveme credit.Business Response

I purchased a sectional from them and I realized that one of the pieces that I ordered were going to be too big to fit in my living room. I have taken delivery of the pieces that fit and I have refused delivery of the other item. I have spoken to the store and their customer care and they refuse to do a return on the item saying that it was custom. The item is upholstered in a common fabric. I was not made aware that my item was custom in any way I was told by the salesman and delivery people that I had 3 days to return. I have not even taken delivery of the item.Business Response

Dear BBB,
We regret any frustration the customer has experienced throughout their sales and delivery process.
Upon reviewing the concerns raised, we found that the customer has been actively working with their local store toward a resolution. The store offered to reorder the ottoman; however, they also advised the customer that due to the handmade nature of the product, a variance of 1–2 inches falls within our manufacturer’s specifications. The customer declined this resolution, and as a result, the store offered a refund for the ottoman.
Unfortunately, the store is unable to issue a refund for the sofa, as it was purchased last year and no defects have been identified.
We kindly ask that this complaint be closed as the customer needs to continue working with the store for a resolution.
Kindest regards,

Dear BBB,
We regret any frustration the customer has experienced during the sales and delivery process.
After reviewing the matter with the store manager, we can confirm that the customer was offered a refund for the ottoman. Unfortunately, we are unable to reorder the item, as it may arrive with the same dimensions. Since the issue does not constitute a defect, a replacement would not resolve the concern.
The customer is encouraged to continue working directly with the store to either accept the refund or proceed with scheduling the delivery of the ottoman. We respectfully request that this complaint be considered resolved and closed, as a resolution has been offered and we are currently awaiting the customer’s response.

My husband and I purchased a couch from the Waldorf, MD Lazy Boy store. We paid over $3,000 for the couch which we waited for 6 weeks for delivery. Around 6 weeks after delivery the back left side of the couch broke. At that time I asked for a refund, which I was told Lazy Boy doesn’t refund due to the fact their furniture has a lifetime warranty! The couch was repaired. Less than six months after the first repair the same part broke again. Which was repaired with particle board. I reported the second broken part. Again asked for a refund was told no. The second part for the repair was ordered. Again the part is particleboard. We received the part,I called to schedule an appointment for the repair and at that time I was told we would have to pay for the labor which is $175 for the repair. At that time I was informed the labor isn’t lifetime. Also since the same part broke it must had been abuse on our part. We are in our seventies why would we want to abuse the couch.
At this time we have not authorized the repair. I decided to reach the reviews of the repair and service concerning Lazy Boy and found many people have had the same problem we are having. Which to me appears another way for Lazy Boy to make more money on their substandard furniture.Business Response

La-Z-Boy offers a

against manufacturing defects, for as long as the original purchaser owns the
product and can supply their dated receipt as proof of purchase. Fabric,
leather, and standard foam padding have a one-year warranty, against
manufacturing defects, from the date of delivery of the furniture into the
customer's home. Labor to repair or replace any defective parts is covered for
one year from the date of delivery of the furniture. The following is a link to

This customer has an
open Service Ticket *********** and was scheduled for an in-home service appointment with
one of our technician’s on 04/03/2025. the technician’s report has been received
and reviewed, and in his report he stated the customer admitting pushing too hard on the back causing to break. As this is a not a manufacturer defect, but instead in home damage, customer is responsible for paying for the installation fee. We offered to cover the initial inspection and the parts at no cost to them. Last time we spoke with the customer, she advised that she will call us back to schedule the installation appointment.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I am rejecting this response because: I have attached 3 pictures to show the slump of the couch break and the piece of word that will use if/when I allow the repair.
I’m want a refund. The piece that broke the first time was after 3 months of delivery. It breaks again about 3 months later. I showed the technician how I sit down on the seat. I am very short in my legs I put my knee in the seat then put my hand on the back of the middle back. None of those areas are broken. If that is pushing on the back other laying my back on the back of the seat which it is for. So I have no idea what the technician is talking about. I do know the technician ******** was upset with me, because I repeated what he said, to me that the couch is a lemon. He did say it was, but he told me he didn’t with a very angry expression. If he got in trouble over it I’m sorry, but if one of their own employees say it is I rest my case. This piece will never stay repaired. Why should we have to live with a couch that costed us over $3,700. I can show you many people that have had the same problem we are having and they received a refund. In addition again I’m 74 years old and I do not abuse my furniture!

I purchased two special order ****** power recliners for $2,600 each from the **********, VA ******** on 6/1/2024. I also purchased a 5 yr service agreement at $398 for each chair. The salesperson assured me that the service agreement would be honored at my home 212 miles away in ********, **, stating they had technicians that could travel everywhere.After picking up the chairs, I noted that one of the chairs had a defective arm seam. ******** agreed to replace the arm, if I found a technician they would reimburse or if I took the chair back to the store of purchase for repair. I took the chair back to that store for repairs, but the repair technician arrived twice after the store was closed and the chair was subsequently not repaired so I asked instead for a replacement chair. ******** agreed and issued store credit to me with the agreement that I would return the defective chair when the replacement chair arrived. I ordered the replacement chair from the ********, ** store (98 miles from my home). I got a call from the Richmond store that I could pick up the replacement chair on April 4, 2025. On April 4th I brought the defective chair to the ******** store to make the exchange and when I arrived, I learned the replacement chair was mistakenly shipped to the wrong store. I came back to the Richmond store the next week to exchange again and found that the replacement chair was defective. The batting was bunched and bulging on one side and the leather was mottled and discolored.After 8 months, more than 40 communications with ********, ***** miles traveled to get the chair repaired or replaced, and numerous communication errors, defective materials and a misrepresented service agreement a repair or replacement is not feasible. I am requesting 1) the $398 protection plan be fully refunded, 2) reimbursement of $870.80 for travel (70 cents a mile for ***** miles) and 3) an $800 credit for the defective chair and the time spent attempting to resolve the issue.Business Response

My attached complaint concerning ************* is necessary because their responses have not solved my problem.I seek to recover in full the $2,290.27 cost not a replacement of the defective recliner sold to me. It has broken on three separate occasions since I received delivery on 10 May 2024. Having only one repairman covering about 6600 square miles, plus the ****** metro area of approximately ******* residents, to administrate their warranty provisions, to date (29 March 2025) the recliner has accrued seventy-nine days of total down time. As a percentage of total ownership time, the chair has been non-functional for 79/324 days, or *****% of the time. Finally, their suggestion that I drive the recliner to ****** every time it needs repaired is unrealistic, as I do not own a pickup truck and the round trip is 150 miles. It is necessary that this company take responsibility for its defective product, useless warranty, and for not delivering the functional recliner it represented to me in their ******, AZ showroom.Business Response

Dear BBB:
We have reviewed the customer’s previous service tickets regarding their recliner. It is our understanding that the product was repaired during the service appointment on March 28, 2025, and was operating properly when the service was completed. The warranty provided by La-Z-Boy Incorporated is for the service and repair of
the product and does not include refunds. Refunds fall under the original terms and conditions of the sale signed at the time of purchase. At this time, the unit has been repaired, and we consider this matter resolved. If the customer is experiencing further concerns, they may contact our Comfort Care team back to review this matter further. We provide service in the home, so it is not known who allegedly advised the customer, the unit would need to be taken to the Tucson location for service as we have reviewed the recent calls and our service notes which have no reference to this information. We have forwarded the customers’ concerns about the limited service in their area to our service team so this concern may be reviewed further. Thank you for advising us about the customer’s concerns. We would ask that the complaint be closed as there does not appear to currently be any further service concerns with the product and we have serviced the product in accordance with our warranty. Thank you.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: Thank you for approaching La-Z-Boy with my concerns. I do not accept the flimsy response and
attempt at misdirection of 1 April 2025 made by the business as any kind of
attempt, serious or otherwise, to “resolve” this complaint. In fact, the response is very revealing, but for
now I will only address a few points for consideration: It should have been clear from the data provided that I
purchased either a poorly designed or poorly assembled recliner, or both. It saddens me that such denial of
responsibility has become the standard for this organization. Apparently professional credibility and
consumer protection is unimportant to them. From the start, La-Z-Boy excluded information I could have
used in deciding to make this purchase, i.e. that your warranty is only executable
once per month or less, and that this model has frequent mechanical issues. As far as other models are concerned, problems
with your furniture and your commitment to professional standards abound, as
borne out by the testimonies of thousands of people online. You did not even have the decency to
acknowledge the facts as presented, i.e. that your product and lack of commitment
to exercising the so-called warranty has denied me of its use for 24% of the
time I have owned it. I would entertain
the idea that there is no expensive product with such a poor service record
like this recliner anywhere in your personal homes and garages. As a result of the hiding of critical information during the
purchase process, the absolutely poor attention to customer service of which
you deem me and many others worthy, and your exceptionally poor response, you
have only strengthened my resolve to continue with my complaint. La-Z-Boy’s continued attempt to make me and
others believe that it is normal: to be denied the use of a product as much as
I have without taking responsibility for its poor performance; to wait a month
or more at a time to get their faulty product serviced; and to accept that the
cycle of multiple breakdowns and lengthy waits for service is a realistic
paradigm, is ludicrous. If I had only
known in advance, I could have avoided a great deal of angst.I feel no obligation whatsoever that I just have to be
receptive to La-Z-Boy force-feeding their aberrant view of reality down my
throat.
Sincerely,

The double recliner is very uncomfortable and one side is in need of repair. All they want to do is send out a technician. It does not sit or quite work like the one in the store, which is understandable, but the left side of the sofa when they assembled it, just seems jammed in. The delivery man had trouble putting it together. I had no idea it came in pieces, and that side doesnt line up correctly with the other and the foot rest sticks out a bit farther and the back is uneven. It appears, that side is made too large. Maybe assembly was just incorrect. New furniture, should be without defects. They will only send out a technician and thats a bit of a wait. I just want a refund and them to take it back. They can fix it and resell it. Should be on them and not on me. I just think this is a defect thats always going to be a problem. Thank you.Business Response

Purchased 3/5/25 in Liberty, Missouri. **** *****
One of the first questions I asked was "What's the total price and how long is delivery?" **** immediately says, "If we have it in stock, 4-5 days." He also said, "if you purchase today, I will work on the price for you and make it even better." He put the two items in and the recliner in a matching color would take 3-4 weeks for delivery. We said that is too long and we will go with mismatched furniture to get it sooner.
Seems like he is discounting but when reviewing the receipt, the discount is the advertised anniversary sale, not a discount for purchasing same day. The $100 price adjustments is him "paying half" of fabric protection. He then forgets to add a few things we wanted so when asked for them, he adds them in and does wave the fee. The accessories he added are low cost, high margin, deal sweeteners. We run credit to finance it. Then he says, "Now that it is paid for, we can schedule the delivery." Earliest delivery we could get was 3.5 weeks later. I could have ordered a matching chair and got there probably at same time!
When we saw that, we said we needed it earlier, He said, "Well you are in an area that only delivers on Friday. Next available is 3.5 weeks. I will see if we can get you sooner." He then emails the delivery team and then tells us "you will probably hear back today if we can move things around. We usually can." I call Tuesday and he says "I haven't heard back, give me one hour." He calls the next day and says "Sorry I couldn't get ahold of them but their boss said no." He waited until the day AFTER the 3-day cancellation period lapsed. I can't cancel my order and go somewhere else than can deliver promptly. Not to mention, even if I was to cancel, I would have to pay the warranty fees for things I don't even own! Did he offer to fabric match the chair since it will be a delay? NOPE. Did he offer a discount for the issues? NOPE. Just "tough luck, I got the commission already so bye!"Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
You are sending my concern “to the store manager” which is the person I am complaining about! So basically, nothing will be done about this?

Hello,
I understand your dissatisfaction with being delayed on receiving your purchase and with discussion with the store I was advised the items chosen were stock items and that you were advised typically stock merchandise can be delivered within 3-5 days if you are within their standard area of delivery; however, when the sale was written up it was discovered you live in an area that is only delivered to once a week on Fridays.
At the time of the purchase, It was advised Friday for that week was already booked and the order could not be added to the truck. The store indicates they offered delivery the following week but that did not work with your schedule and the delivery had to be pushed back to the following week, hence the items requiring 3 weeks to be delivered. The Manager advised the order was written on March 8th and that he had left a voicemail message for you on March 11th but he did not hear back from you after indicating the item(s) could not be added to the truck for the original week of purchase.
The store has advised they cancelled your order and refunded your Synchrony financing. They indicated Synchrony, the finance company would then close your account with them. This matter has been resolved according to this information. Thank you.

I am rejecting this response because:I did not authorize the refund or the closure of the account. This is not authorized or approved (especially because account is NOT in my name) so the delivery will still take place this Friday as scheduled.
I still want my discount for buying same day that was promised!
