      We purchased a couch from them in 2021. We also purchased the "all encompassing" insurance at that time. Shortly after we purchased it, the fabric started to fall apart. Originally, we filed a claim with the insurance but they said since it was within a year we needed to go back to Monroe Furniture and deal with the manufacturer. When we contacted them, ********************* (Service Manager) came to review the damage and agreed that it was a manufacturer defect (the fabric on all three seats had worn through in only a couple months). Then this timeline happened:- Dec 9: I emailed him the photos he asked for of the couch & the damage - Dec 28: I followed up because I hadn't heard anything back - Dec 29: He claimed the manufacturer was fighting him on it so he was still working on it - Feb 22: I followed up because I hadn't heard anything back - Mar 24: I followed up because I hadn't heard anything back - Aug 22: I followed up because I hadn't heard anything back - Oct 30: I followed up because I hadn't heard anything back - Nov 4: I tried to contact someone different - Nov 5: Finally heard back from ****** who said she'd get back to me on Monday - Nov 8: I responded with a thank you & asked if she needed any more info - Nov 13: I followed up because I hadn't heard anything back At this point we don't know what to do. I've obviously sent several emails & also left messages for **** to call me back. Nobody at the company is taking responsibility for the $2500 faulty piece of furniture they sold us, not to mention the additional $250 insurance we purchased. We just want our couch fixed.

      To this point we have been unable to acquire the parts to fix ********************** furniture. I have taken this issue over from ********************* our service Manager in hopes that I will have better luck than he did in acquiring the needed parts. I would like to come out to ********************** house and view the furniture to see if there are other pieces needed from the last time **************** was out to inspect the furniture. I have a call out to ****************** and would like to follow up on this as soona as possible. I feel if I put pressure on the manufacturer and their sales representative they will be more willing to help us. 

      *************************, Store Manger, Monroe Furniture Center.
