Bob's Discount Furniture Reviews

June 30, 2008
Poor quality
I remember looking for a new recliner at Bob's Discount Furniture and I am so glad I never bought anything from there after all the horror stories I have read and other stories I have heard in person.

I think a couple of things are important to keep in mind when shopping for new furniture. If it's a sofa or a chair, feel the material. If the material feels thin, it's going to wear down a lot quicker and probably get torn. If you are looking at a new recliner, test out the mechanism. If it feels flimsy, move onto another store.

I think there is another truth to keep in mind about furniture. It's been my observation that with furniture, you usually get what you pay for. That being said, if you come across a deal that seems too good to be true, it probably is. If the store is selling furniture for a disgustingly cheap price, question it because unless it's a special holiday discount sale, the quality will probably be a lot cheaper.

What a headache
A friend and I went to Bob's for our living room furniture. We purchased a sofa and loveseat, a recliner, a coffee table and two side tables on May 18th. We were told that everything would be ready within a week or so, but we'd definitely have our things before June 10 (because we chose a different colour for the recliner, it was "special order"). June 10 came and went, we called numerous times over a couple of days, and finally got a delivery date for the tables and recliner. (Apparently, our couches were going to take just a couple more days.) We weren't home to receive the delivery, and when we got there, discovered that the deliverymen had damaged the coffee table. I called Bob's, and they said they'd bring us a new table along with the couches, which would be ready, we were told, by the end of the week. That deadline passed, we called and called, got no answer other than "any day now", and finally we drove back to the store on 6/16, nearly a month after the purchase date. At the store, we are informed that the couches we purchased had been discontinued and that someone else had already bought the floor model. But we were welcome to take an altered model of the couches in flaming red (rather than sage green). No one had bothered to tell us all this time, when we asked over and over again about the couches, that we would NEVER be getting our furniture. We had to pick out a brand new set, and when we asked for a small discount, were flatly refused. But I accepted. I just wanted some furniture in my new apartment! I reminded the employee that Bob's needed to deliver my new coffee table with the new couches, as they had promised. They delivered the sofas today, and guess what, no table! We've called, flipped out, and finally gotten them to give us some kind of compensation (they haven't worked out what it will be yet, but I don't have much hope). Too much work and worry. We thought if we followed up on everything, we'd be fine. Clearly, following up with these employees gets you nowhere!

Defective furniture
I purchased a dining room SET from bobs 6+ months ago. The table had to be replaced the second month in (peeling veneer). I phoned June 3 2008 because the peeling is happening again and the chairs are losing colour (loosen joints).

Tech comes in and offers touch up stain and lacquer spray as an option. Product was discontinued and no longer available as of Jan 2008. I was offered a full credit - I asked to call back with decision. Now they offer a store credit or full credit for top and base only. Now they are sending a second tech to look at the chairs since the first tech was not allowed to post the defects (visit was for table only).

Scam and cheating
Their furniture is definitely the WORST QUALITY I have ever seen! I was going to buy somewhere else, until everyone kept talking me into going to Bob's (Brookfield, CT) The color sectional I wanted (or rather settled for) wasn't in stock - so I had to wait almost 3 months before it was finally delivered - but that's not even half of it. I have never seen such POOR QUALITY/ WORKMANSHIP in my life! I don't see how they can advertise that they beat the competition... who might that be? Salvation Army is the only place I can think of that would have anything to compare!

The fabric is so THIN, you can actually see the frame behind it, and then it's loose on top of it - waiting to see how long it'll take to rip open. The sectional pieces DON'T MATCH UP & HAVE GAPPING HOLES BETWEEN THE SECTIONS, that is, if they're even the same size.

The seat cushions have SUBSTANDARD FOAM that has PERMANENTLY BOTTOMED OUT only after a few months use & they are only covered w/ FABRIC ON ONLY ONE SIDE - the other side has some CHEAP BLACK LINING fabric (that they actually use on the bottom of the couch to cover the frame) - so you CAN'T EVEN FLIP THE CUSHIONS for even wear.

The back pillows are also CHEAPLY MADE/ LOOKING with zippers that don't sit flush & stab you every time you sit down. The interior filling isn't enclosed in a liner, so it's not exactly feasible to wash them if need be - or you just have a big pile of stuffing all over the room.

The PULL OUT BED is enough to cause SERIOUS PHYSICAL HARM should you roll over the wrong way, with a VERY SHARP METAL FRAME THAT STICKS UP HIGHER THAN THE MATTRESS OR COUCH, with a HUGE SPACE on the side next to the couch AND head of mattress - so if you have kids, I could easily see them GETTING A LEG CAUGHT/ BREAKING if not seriously careful moving around it. Never noticed the PLASTIC LEGS on it until it got here either.

And the WORKMANSHIP upholstering it in general is the absolutely shabbiest job I've ever seen - have to make sure it's against the wall so no one can see the STAPLES & HOW POORLY THE CHEAP FABRIC IS LINED UP *SORT OF*, nevermind where it's NOT EVEN FASTENED ALL THE WAY AROUND. WATCH OUT FOR THOSE STAPLES STICKING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE TOO - they're definitely SHARP!

A couple of grand for the BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK I'VE EVER SEEN!

I don't recommend this store to anyone
Had the WORST experience with Bobs Furniture, and would not recommend it to anyone. Anyone.

I purchased a sofa and loveseat Mid February, it was to be delivered that Friday.

Week 1, it was never loaded onto the truck

Week 2, cancelled due to weather

Week 3, delivered, loveseat has a manufacturers defect in it.

Week 4, new loveseat delivered to be swapped with defect, new loveseat comes with same defect

Week 5, AGAIN, deliver new loveseat with same defect.

After so many calls to customer service, I was told there was nothing else they could do for me. I was told I could keep the loveseat or swap for a new set. I had NO intention of purchasing anything else from there, and basically just surrendered. I received a $75 gift certificate in the mail 3 weeks later for «my trouble". I would not recommend this store to anyone!

Poor service!
Bob's delivered a damaged curio to my home and I sent it back. Bob's attempted to deliver TWO more damaged curios to my home. I sent both back. They will not refund my money. They will only give a refund three days after purchase. THE PRODUCTS TAKE LONGER THAN THAT TO GET TO YOU!!!

Horrible low quality furniture. They will not stand by their sales.

Go elsewhere; Cardis, Jordan's, Bernie & Phyls. You may have problems as all furniture may get damaged but you can get better service!!! I've used each before, had problems and was satisfied with the the results. NOT BOB's. STAY AWAY!!
