We purchased a leather reclining couch and chair + an extended warranty in February 2022. The furniture was delivered in April or May (I can pull dates if needed). Before the end of the summer we had already filed 2 warranty claims and after the same run around we are currently getting the company gave us a replacement despite us asking for a refund. Now the furniture is broken in the same way (bent frame which results in the furniture leaning when sitting in it). We have filed two claims - one has disappeared in the system and the other has not been responded to in any way (other than an automated confirmation email). We reached out to the store and we were told they could not help us we needed to file a claim. When I call the warranty number the phone is either not answered or I get hung up on. This is cheaply made furniture that will continue to break. We have a sectional we purchased at the same time and it is great. We would like for the reclining pieces to be taken back and either be refunded or given a store credit to purchase a non-recline sofa and chair.Business Response

Thank you for forwarding the guest's concerns to us. We are sorry to hear about any difficulties this guest has experienced in having the reclining pieces addressed. In consideration of this we have approved a one-time courtesy reselection exchange for alternate pieces of equal or higher value. The guest's account has been thoroughly documented with the approval and they have only to visit their local Ashley HomeStore to speak with a Home Furniture Consultant and make their reselection. Once completed, the reselected pieces will be delivered and swapped out for the pieces currently in the home. We look forward to seeing the guest soon as resolving this for them promptly.
Kindest regards,

I purchased $7000 worth of furniture at the store for a new town house on 5/8/21. I also purchased the ************ Plus furniture protection policy on all the items. One item was purchased online on 8/21/2021 because it was not carried in the store. The arm caved in slowly through the year. I called the service department prior to the one year warranty and it was explained that it was not covered. I found out late when I called in December that it was covered during the one year purchase date but it is no longer within the date. I would like this issue fixed but they declined.Business Response

Thank you for forwarding the guest's concerns to us. We're sorry about any misinformation regarding coverage on the item under the 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty. We are more than happy to attempt to restore the item to showroom condition in consideration of the circumstances laid out by the guest. If the guest could please write to us at ************************************* and provide the specific item (including the *** if she has that from her copy of the original sales receipt) along with a written description and pictures of the issue and the location on the item where the issue is occurring, then we will have our service department review the information and proceed with a resolution based on their review. We look forward to hearing from the guest with the requested information in the very near future.

The damages. He said he couldnt. I would have to reorder parts, he and I took pictures. And, he advice to talk to ****** funiture about a refund. ****** funiture said they will refund me ****** dollars. But they never did. On top of that the movers put black finger prints on my wall. I let one use my bathroom. Instead of throwing the tissue in the tiolet. He put it on my bsthroom floor. It was disgusting. September 26th I told ****** funiture to pick up the bedroom set. I refuse to pay for it. Since I gave them my draft numbet. They kept drafting the money from my acclunt. After I told them to pick it up. I decided to call the **** of America and told them to *********************** Funiture from taking anymore money from my account. They continue to try causing me emotional stress.

I am rejecting this response because: I did not see the 100 dollars or the 100 dollars applied to the bill. The full payment was the same, so I didnt accept anything. Secondly, the lady said she would have movers to pick up my bedroom set. I told ********************* and Rooms to go who brought my account that I do not want the bedroom set to pick it up.Business Response

Purchased two mirrors on January 18,2023. One in box new and one out of a box. After we got home the one in the box was shattered. Still in its unopened plastic. Called Ashley right away and they would not give me money back and said they didnt have one to replace it with. They said they would order one. They gave my call to a man who took down my info and said 3-5 business days. Mirror never came. Store closed. No other store will honor it. I was lied to regarding the ordering of the mirror, how childish!! I want a new mirror!Business Response

I bought a powered couch and loveseat from Ashley furniture 3 years ago in March 2020. I bought a 5 year protection plan on both pieces of furniture. One side of my couch stopped working in August 2022. I've tried several attempts to get it fixed with them and they keep blowing me off. When I call the warranty company, they say they have no record of my purchase and after I give them my receipt, they tell me that they will call me within 7 business days to schedule an appointment. I wait 2-3 weeks and they never call. I've done this 5 times and twice I've even done it with Ashley furniture corporate on the line with me and it still doesn't get done. The manager at the store said he would get service to fix it at the beginning of January. Now, it is the end of January and my couch still isn't fixed. Now, I have a couch that only works on one side even though I purchased a 5 year warranty. I want a refund for the warranty and the couch; since it is not in the condition I paid for it and Ashley refuses to honor their agreement.Business Response

On Jan 10, I purchased an ************** recliner and on Jan 30, I made the first attempt to cancel the order at phone number ************ but was told by the associate that she would get in touch with ***************************, the sales associate that handled my purchase and that he would be calling me but he never called me!

Today I called that same number today and spoke to Ky D at 2:19pm to find out if the cancellation had been processed and she said that the cancellation had not been processed, and then I spoke to **** A at 2:22pm to find out if I could get confirmation at my email address that the cancellation of my order was in process and she said that she couldn't do that and then I was put through to **** at 2:51pm and she said that she couldn't send me a confirmation email that my order has been cancelled and that she would get in touch with the associate, ***************************, that handled my order and that he would be in touch with me in 24 hours! I had ask about extended warranty, and was told about the extended warranty and I purchased it at $129.99 but wasn't told about the manufacturers warranty on this item! This is unfair business practice and it should be investigated by you! I have sales documents of the sales agreement and purchase price should you need me to send them to you!

I purchased a Dinette set of four Chairs Table and Bench.They were delivered on 1/12/2023 and the delivery workers started to assemble the table. I specifically asked them not to use the electric nut driver as they might strip the nuts or bolts in legs. They used it any way and left two screws completely striped and leg unusable. At this point I inspected the rest of the set and found a large defect in the bench and a large defect in one chair. I called service center ************ and refused delivery of bench and table and one chair, the service person on phone instructed delivery people to leave with items and I would receive a phone call about ordering new furniture. I received a call informing me that I would get new furniture in four to six weeks which I said was unacceptable due to the fact that i had already waited four weeks. They advised I would receive another call. I received a third call stating they would deliver new furniture 1/19/2023. I requested new furniture remain in box as I would assemble. Delivery showed up and brought assembled chair first, I opened plastic, and the same scratches were visible in the same place. At this point the delivery driver informed me they had to open the other furniture to see if hardware was there but had no boxes. When I asked to inspect the other items, I was informed I had to accept delivery first. I stopped and called service center again to inform them I was refusing delivery of the same furniture with the same damages and wanted a refund on that basis. They would not take the three chairs I had previously accepted and service person on phone said I would receive a call about picking up chairs. I closed the charge account opened for this purchase through ******** They finally came and picked up three chairs from original delivery on 1/28/2023 and I was to receive refund. I just got off the phone with ******* where I was informed there was an outstanding balance on my account of $181.89. Dates on Pictures BelowBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: It's not the $330.15, that amount has been credited back to ******** They have an outstanding amount of $181.89 remaining for whatever reason the Ashley Home store Has not provided a complete refund. Please remit the remaining balance to ******* as I am not responsible for you trying to deliver damaged furniture twice.Business Response

I purchased a Hallstrung sectional in store on *********************** in ********* ** last year. Within a couple months, a metal reclining part on one seat snapped in half. They replaced the chair. That one snapped in the same place. Replaced again. Snapped again months later in the exact same place. I reported it to Ashley and they're forcing me to use the accidental coverage I purchased to cover this. Now another chair's reclining mechanism is broken. This is obviously a factory defect. Research online shows other people having the exact same part snapping in half on their pieces as well. Ashley refuses to acknowledge that this is a factory defect and won't stand by their product now that it's been a year. Though I'm a long time Ashley customer and loved the style of the sectional, I no longer trust the quality of this sofa. I've said I wanted a refund but was brushed off. My problem is that they're already discontinuing the line and eventually I won't be able to replace this piece. I don't feel comfortable with a reclining sectional that has factory defects and has broken several times already. I need resolution to my problem. I'm reaching out to others who have this set and have experienced this defect to see what they've done to get resolution. My hope is that someone from Ashley corporate might see this and care about customer experience enough to contact me for a refund or exchange. Because this is entirely unacceptable. I hope they'll agree.Business Response

We ordered thousands of dollars worth of furniture. Several items were not delivered. When a refund was requested over a month ago, I was hung up on, chats closed, and then charged the amount again instead of refunded. I had a rug not delivered, 2 battery packs, and *************************** of Ashley wont return calls or issue any refunds. This so criminal. Ashley furniture has admittedly not had a good relationship with synchrony and neither company has the proper software to issue charges or refunds. Proper software in terms of Ashley has no idea how synchrony operates and vice versa. Its all so illegal. I simply want the refund for the items that were not delivered. It is about 700+, and I was getting charged interest on it .Business Response
