Rip off
Here is what has happened to me... I reported problems that I was having with my sectional/sleeper to a customer service rep approx. 1 week before the factory warranty was up back in april. After a service person came out and saw the couch, he said the store would pick it up and take it back to the store to fix it. Then got a call stating that the couch would be best fixed if I turned it into montage furniture services. I did and they sent someone out who did a temp fix until parts could be ordered. Parts were supposedly ordered and the same repair man from the retail store came out and said "I can't fix this!" I will have Courtney from CS call you this afternoon and we will arrange to have it picked up. She called and said that there was a misunderstanding with montage and that they would order the parts and have them sent to my house directly and if they weren't there within 2 weeks, they would refund my money. I received to packages, one was for a cushion cover and one box was foam padding. The parts to fix the sleeper mechanism and frame were not sent at all. On the day after the 2 week deadline, I called Courtney at the retail store, and told her that I was done playing games with Ashley furniture and montage, and that I was going to be contacting the BBB and Illinois Attorney General's office, and that I was looking into a class action law suit with a few other people that have had problems recently. She said that they would give me a refund and arrange to pick up the couch. Montage called later that day and said that I had all of the parts needed and I just needed to make an appointment for them again to come out to the house. I called montage back requesting a manager contact me, because again there was nothing delivered to repair the sofa. The problems that I have are that Ashley should have resolved this from the start. I have been getting the run around going on 4 months now, with no resolution. This sofa is now in worse condition and the hide a bed is now so broken that the metal is now digging into the hard wood flooring. I have had to take off time from work 3 times now for them to come and say each time I can't fix this. I was promised a refund, and then the owner's wife, who happens to be the office manager as well, states that courtney didn't have the authority to decide the refund and that they feel that they are not responsible and that it is up to montage. I purchased a set of couches before this set from Ashley Furniture, and had them for 8 years, and I gave them to my brother, because I wanted something new. They were a fabulous product that are still in better shape than what I have now. I asked the office manager how she would feel if she spent 1800.00 on a sofa set that didn't hold up more than a year? She said that Ashley doesn't have the best furniture... they have the best for the value. I think this poor representation and doesn't say much for your company, because up until now I couldn't have had better things to say. Now I tell everyone how bad of an experience I have had. I am writing this to the Corporate office with hopes that you can help me and I am very impressed that you offer such a extensive website to use as a contact for problems with products and retailers. I was told by the office manager that "Ashley Furniture is not the best, but the best for the value, that is why we only offer a 1 year warranty!" That is ridiculous- Do you think we can get enough people together to get a class action law suit? Let me know because this cannot keep happening.

sold us a couch just three months ago thats falling apoart too
Ashley furniture dealers sold us a couch three months ago that's olive colour with two end recliners that is falling apart. The cushions on the ends are sinking into the middle. The stuffing on the foot rest are flat to the wood. The recliners won’t stay extended. The foot rest on the recliners have sharp edges where cushioning has pulled away. I complained to the furniture store on 6/28/08. Where I bought it. I bought it on 4/4/08. The furniture store came and took pic's and said they sent them by email to Ashley's home office. We shall see what happens?

Ashley doesnt honor their warranty
I will make this short and to the point. We purchased our first brand new sectional set and after a month reconfigured the set up in our room and noticed the metal framed recliners were rusted underneath. After muliple visits from their technicians and finally the store owner, they told us it was our fault and would not honor any warranty. Yeah, we caused a metal frame to rust after a month, good one huh? We took them to small claims court and learned that they (Ashley)issue the warranty and then the store owner decides weather or not to honor it. Is that fair? The magistrate judge didn't think so, so he ruled in our favor and do you think we have seen a dime of the money awarded? NO!!! This has to be the biggest joke of an owner who represents a company i have ever seen. Someone commented on another complaint site that they hope someone brings the whole company down in a class action lawsuit. I think that would be fitting. I would strongly discourage any one from doing business with this company if this how they handle customer sevice.

Junk and terrible customer service
We found all our home furniture at the Ashleys Home Store. Little did we know that in 4 months all our living room furniture would be sunk in & look 5 years old. We have to stuff it with pillows just so we can get up out of it!
We were told by the warranty inspector, that to fix it he would pretty much have to re-make it plus he would have to add some of his OWN improvements to keep it from sinking again!! And the store manager said that the service tech usually will fix it better than the factory even manufactured it, then he basically hung up on us when we asked for our money back!!
DO NOT shop with Ashleys! THEY ARE CRAP!

Some facts
Even though all Ashley Furniture are independently owned and operated, the four in South Jersey, Turnersville, Northfield, Cherry Hill, and Millville are all owned by the Crest Furniture Company, the same people who own the Value City Furniture in NJ. First what anyone should know is that the company's employees do not last very long. It's a performance based job where the sales are paid 100% on commission.
Another is the experience in store does not compare to the experience after the purchase is complete and delivered. In the store everyone will treat you with respect (in the Millville store anyways). Everyone is professional and will try to help you out with what ever your questions and needs. When checking out, the clerks in the back do explain everything to you and advise you to read all the Term and Conditions for the store printed on your contract.
After that it gets a little difficult. First when going to buy you must keep in mind all the furniture, unless factory dropped, needs to be ordered and delivered; a process that takes 2-4 weeks on average and as much as 1-6 months on back ordered pieces.
After you receive your furniture you have a 1 year "manufacturer warranty" that supposedly covers you but customer service seems to be the main issue with these companies, and apparently other Ashley companies around the US. The store itself cannot help you much when it comes to service because it is a show room. There have been many times where a select few of the clericals in the back attempt to stick out their necks for the customers, as the company should do, in trying to bring customer satisfaction. This is how some of them don't last because they bring "problems" to the store where the store can’t really do anything for the customer.
Just in case you feel like cancelling your order after 3 days, there is a 25% restocking fee on the subtotal of the balance. It really hits hard. This company has had its fair shares of bad experiences. I advise future customer to pay with their Credit Cards. I know Amex has a stop payment feature and I am pretty sure other cards do as well. Just in case you have a terrible experience you have another way out other then being hit for something you had nothing to do with.
This review isn't written to bring down the employees of the company because they do what corporate tells them to do... there are really good hearted people working for them but stuck in a dead end. This is just a little something to possibly expect if shopping at Ashley's.

They are the worst
Worst customer service ever. My daughter purchased a sectional couch. When the delivery men were bringing the couch in through the front door they snagged it and tore the couch. Ashley refuses to replace or refund the money, stating "that it is not company policy". Even though they damaged it! They have sent someone out to sew the tear, replace part of the couch that is torn. But as of now, that has not been done. My daughter has asked for an exchange or a refund but they are immoveable. I have never seen anything like this before.

Couldn’t get replacement drawer guide and handle
This place blows I haven’t even made a payment on 5 000 dollars worth of furniture I bought from these yo yos big dresser drawer guide was bent and was hard to open and the handle broke off in my hand, the tech came to my house mar 11 08 it is now July and I still don’t have my 3 dollar drawer guide or handle It only took 3 weeks to get the whole dam dresser! I’ve spoken to many people there in Winston Salem NC. But they just give you the run around.the drawer is still unusable after 4 months, what a bunch of ***. They should have made a phone call and overnighted me the part. Right from the beginning.

Cheap materials
I purchased an entire living room set from Ashley Furniture 2 months ago. I just noticed that a seam in the centre of the loveseat has split. This piece has barely been used and when I called for service, I was told I would have to pay $40 for someone to come look at it and fix it. He did a terrible job I might add, it’s very obviously repaired. I cannot believe that after only 2 months when the serviceman even admitted it was not out fault, that I had to pay for this to be repaired. That was the last time we purchase from Ashley Furniture.

They steal your money
I purchased a dining set. I have had 6 table tops in 3 months, all defective. My chairs are starting to crack in the seats. I finally, after arguing for months got them to give me a refund, BUT, they couldn't tell me if my Citibank Ashley credit card would only be credited or if I would receive a check. AND I would not get my delivery charge refunded, because they tried too many time to deliver the table top. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE! Not my problem, So now they are going to send another table top and I was told this is the last time, I have to pick one or the other defect or not. DO NOT DEAL WITH ASHLEY FURNITURE!!!
