If I could put zero starts I would. Let me start out by saying this review is not a reflection of the store itself or the sales people. They were great in fact, Andrea went above and beyond to try to help me with exchanging a faulty sofa I received however her hands are tied in what she can do. I purchased a sofa recently and it was delivered on 9/3/24. As soon as the delivery guys left I noticed that there was a HUGE gap on the right side of the sofa, where the back rest meets the seat. Also, the headrest on the right stuck up noticeably higher than the other two. I immediately called the Ashley store and I was told to email pictures of the issue which I did. A furniture technician was sent to my home on 9/5/24. He told me that the issue was that it was manufactured incorrectly. He said that the sofa was not bolted in correctly and that it was in his exact words “not fixable”. He assured me that he would put that in his report and he told me that Ashley furniture would replace this faulty sofa with another. I received an email later that day from Ashley stating that they would NOT exchange the sofa because it was up to manufacturing standards. I went into the Ashley store and Andrea intervened on my behalf and reached out to them letting them know that I wasn’t happy. They sent another technician to my home on 9/7/24. This one told me that it was a stuffing issue, that the sofa wasn’t stuffed correctly. I told this second technician what the first technician told me, about it being bolted incorrectly, and that they would replace it. While the second technician was here he made a phone call to someone and I heard him tell the person over the phone “This isn’t right. If the first technician promised her an exchange, we should exchange the sofa” He left and later that day I received an email from Ashley stating once again that they weren’t going to do anything about it because it was up to manufacturers standards. I went back into the Ashley store and Andrea reached out again to Ashley on my behalf. A technician was sent to my house today 9/14/24 to put stuffing into the arm. He agreed that the issue is not stuffing but told me he has to follow his orders which is to stuff the arm. He tried his best but it still doesn’t look right. I have included pictures of the gap and also the side of the sofa that is correct. I even included a picture of the correct side and the incorrect side (side by side) so you can see the difference. You would have to be blind not to see the issue. I have been extremely patient and have been working with them to get my sofa exchanged. At this point, I want my money back. This has been the worst and most frustrating experience. I went to Ashley furniture in the first place because I thought it was a great reputable company. I never expected this level of awful customer care. Ashley furniture should have exchanged my sofa immediately, not put me through the ringer with THREE different technicians coming to my house and all telling me different things. I WILL NEVER SHOP AT ASHLEY FURNITURE AGAIN and I will most definitely tell all all my family and friends not to as well. The sofa I ordered from the showroom looks NOTHING like what was delivered to my house. If this is their “manufacturing standards” then those standards are extremely low. Save your hard earned money people and shop for your furniture at your local mom and pop furniture stores where they actually care if the customer is happy. Save yourself the hassle that I have gone through over the past two weeks.
I am responding to the comment left by Ashley furniture below: my issue HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. As I stated above, the last technician added stuffing to improve the look as best he could but agreed with me that the sofa was not put together correctly. Once again, my issue has not been resolved. I am still in possession of the faulty sofa with no financial reimbursement. I would highly appreciate a refund as I DID NOT receive what I paid for. I do not think that is...
   Read moreI ordered a couch and coffee table in early September. The couch was back ordered for some time, but that was fine with us since we were in the middle of a move. The coffee table was in stock at the time, but we assumed the inventory would be set aside and held until our couch would be delivered. However, when the couch was delivered we were told by the drivers that they did not have the coffee table on the truck and that it was back ordered. I was irritated, but I understand things happen and people make mistakes. I called to see when it would be back in stock and when we could have it delivered. I was told that it would be in stock the next day and we could have it delivered a couple of days later. Generally with Ashley Furniture you get a text the night before confirming the delivery window. When I did not receive a text, I called to find out when my item would be delivered. I was given a window. I called later that day to check on the status and was told that they had no record of me having an appointment scheduled. I was frustrated, but again, I understand people can make mistakes. I rescheduled the delivery again for today. Again, I received no text the night before. Again, I called in the morning and I was given a delivery window. Again, I called later in the day to check the status and was told they had no record of my appointment. By this point, I just wanted my money back, since it became clear I was never going to receive my coffee table. However, I was informed that customer care could not process a refund and I would have to contact the store. At first the store told me I would have to drive over to them with my card to process the refund. This was unacceptable to me since I do not live close to the store, and I had already set aside three full days expecting my delivery. I was not going to be further inconvenienced. Finally, after being put on hold several times, the store manager authorized the representative to do the refund over the phone. While waiting for the authorization, the women I was speaking with informed me that my order was still back ordered and they had no idea when it would be back in stock. So after all of that waiting and frustration, there was never a possibility I would get my coffee table. Several of the people I spoke with told me that they generally do set the inventory aside when the rest of the order is back ordered, but they are not sure why that was not done in my case. Although most of the customer service reps were very helpful, I am only giving one star, because this whole experience was ridiculous. The coffee table should have been held until my couch was ready and I should have been informed as soon as the coffee table was back ordered rather than finding from the drivers the day I was supposed...
   Read moreIf I could give this store ZERO stars I would! On the 17th of February we went in looking to purchase living room furniture. The moment we stepped in we were greeted as per usual but then contacted what felt like every 5 minutes after. I won’t use names but the woman that ended up being our salesperson hounded is throughout our entire time in the store. Every time we sat on a couch she would approach us. Once we picked one out we wanted to find a coffee table, mind you we had our kids with us which makes it all that more difficult and she wasn’t helping by making suggestions she would simply ask every time we looked at something oh you like that? Let me pull that up for you. We were so rushed. In the end we got our couch and coffee table scheduled for delivery 10 days later for Wednesday the 27th. Fast forward to delivery day and the couch arrives totally destroyed. I took pictures and I was told I would be contacted by someone from the store or a customer service rep for a reschedule. 2 days later and nothing so I messaged our salesperson directly because she said we could if we had any questions or concerns. Instead of being apologetic or empathetic she just plainly replied with we can reschedule for March 16th or 17th. 2 weeks?! I had to wait another 2 weeks! I held my tongue and rescheduled. My husband on the other hand was very upset with how everything was being handled and decided to go to the Osceola location to cancel the reschedule and get a different set entirely. Wow what a world of a difference over there. They were absolutely amazing and they helped us even though the Davenport location did the most shady thing! Knowing we were canceling our order they charged it out anyways which they aren’t suppose to do until the items are delivered. So now the funds couldn’t be refunded and the Osceola location had to eat the difference so we weren’t charged for the couch we weren’t getting anymore. On top of all this our original salesperson LIED that the couch we had originally chosen was being discontinued and that if we didn’t purchase it that day there was no guarantee that we would be able to get it. I hope management sees this review and makes the necessary changes in the way they run their store because they are running it...
