Maria's Discount Furniture — Local services in Jefferson Township

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Maria’s Furniture in Chicago. I purchased four dining chairs, and two broke almost immediately after I got them home. When I reached out to the store for help, they gave me the wrong repair parts, which didn’t fix the issue. I made four separate trips to try and resolve this, but in the end, they only offered a partial refund for two chairs.

Here’s the last message I received from the owner: “Hi Tammy, good afternoon. I spoke to my mother. The only thing I can do is give you the $150 plus your 2 chairs back. I know that’s not what you want, but it’s the best we can do for you.”

I was nearly injured just sitting on these completely...

Was looking all over for a set of 6 rustic barstools that wouldn’t break the bank, which brought me to Maria’s. Found a mint condition set of open-box stools at less than half what the same stools were going for at big box stores. Messaged the store, they immediately replied and held them for me until I could get there the next day and buy them. They were super friendly and I loved their selection when I walked in - all very nice, stylish, modern and traditional chairs, pub tables, stools, etc at amazing prices. I plan to check their inventory regularly as I upgrade parts...
