  Purchased a reclining sofa and chair on 10/27/22. Got delivery the end of November of 22. November of 2023 the sofa stopped working. I called the store to get it fixed. I must have called the store 8 times to get this fixed. Finally in December I got a call for a man to come and fix my sofa. He came the next day, when I told him how long I had been waiting he said he just got the repair the day before. He could not fix it at the home and would let ********* know. I called Stanleys again numerous times to find out what was going on. Finally ***** from the store called and said they have all parts needed for repair and someone would call me. Someone did call and said they would pick up the sofa to repair it. Which they did on 1/23/23. I called on 1/29/23 and ***** told me he would have someone call me with an ETA. No one has called as of 1/31/23. This problem has been going on for 4 months. I want my sofa working and back to me!

  On 4/11/23 my partner and I ordered a Flexsteel couch from ********* Furniture. An $800.00 deposit was placed and in the space provided for delivery date, ASAP was written, as this order was placed to accommodate my handicapped partner's needs. The salesperson was well aware of the situation as a great deal of time was spent in the store with my partner sitting on the couch and determining its suitability . The salesperson gave us a delivery date between 6 - 8 weeks from the date of purchase. When the 8 weeks **** near, I called ********* and spoke to ***** who told me that he would get back to me, and never did. I called again and was given a window of delivery between July and August. Once again, I called in August and ***** told me that a fabric issue was solved, which was surprising to me that I was never informed that an issue existed. From there I was given yet another delivery window in mid-September. Well, needless to say, I had to place another call in to ********* and ***** gave yet another window of delivery in November. The second time that I received a call from *****, he informed me that year another window of delivery will take place between end of December and the beginning of January. I find it very hard to believe that a couch would take 9 months to arrive. I hardly think that 9 months is ASAP. I am equally, if not moreso put off by the fact that throughout this disaster I placed most of the calls to ********* seeking answers and only received 2 phone calls from *****. In fact, in one call made by my partner to discuss the situation, ***** told him that he could not speak to the issue since the couch wasn't sold to him, despite the fact that his name and cell number is clearly represented on the sales receipt. I was also told that I cannot cancel the order and will have to forfeit my deposit. At that point, my partner called the credit card company to inform them of the situation.

  On 4/1/2023 I gave Stanleys Furniture a $600.00 deposit to order a *************** Sofa (invoice# *****). I was told delivery would be July. I called in July and was asked is this your first call? Which I thought was odd. I was told it would take 2 weeks for them to contact the manufacturer and call me back with an eta. They didnt - I called them and couldnt get a straight answer. Then I was told September. Well September came & went and I called again on Monday, October 9th, 2023 and spoke to ***** - he couldnt give me any information during that call but did call me back later in the day and said 8 weeks as if I had just placed the order!! I told him I want my money back and was told he would put in a request for cancellation and that would take another 2 weeks!! I dont believe they even ordered the sofa. I want my $600.00. This sofa was ordered specifically for my partner who has Parkinsons Disease which they were aware of at time of purchase. I am thoroughly disgusted with the lack of customer service that have NOT provided.

  In December of 2022 I left a deposit of $1500.00 with ********* Furniture. I was informed that this order would arrive at my residence within 4 to 6 weeks. Today is August 8, 2023, eight months later, their has been no goods and no services concerning this order. Since June of 2023 I have been ignored, three visits to the store and numerous phone calls have produced negative results. In addition, a formal letter, from an attorney has been been completely ignored. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS ABOUT DOING BUSINESS AT THIS STORE!!

  I am making a complaint because I purchased a Flexsteel Nirvana sectional in March 27 2023 from Stanleys furniture. I was told that in a week the salesman ****** would reach out to someone he knows there and get an update on status and delivery. I put down a deposit of ******* on **** card. Remaining balance is ****. I never did get an update and called him on May 1, then May 5th I got a meaaage from him that he would try and get an update that coming Monday. Then I had to text him again to see if he got a response.., he replied he emailed them and is waiting for a reply. Ill let you know when I hear. Then I contacted him again 5/25 he replied Ill call our status department and get back to you ASAP. Nothing from him since then. Meanwhile I have called and sent emails which I can provide documentation of to ****** and ***** and have spoken to both. They both said they would also reach out and get back to me. NOTHING! Everyone is telling me the same that they will reach out and find out status and get back to me. several emails with same inquiry yet no response. Ill check and get back to you. It doesnt happen. I have no idea why they cannot speak with a person and get an answer it is very concerning. I would like an answer or better yet my furniture. I bought this sectional because it had recliners and my husband was having shoulder surgery and would not be able to sleep in bed after and I have bad back issues. He has since had his surgery and had ti sleep upright in our couch that is not reclining. I went ti ******** convertible prior to Stanleys and they told me 4-6 weeks delivery time I choose Stanleys because they are a family business. Could you please help me get some resolution in this matter.

  Placed deposit on 2 Flexsteel reclining sofas on January24. Have made several attempts trying to get a status on the order to no avail. Have made numerus phone calls beginning in April and in May and June and an in person visit and sent an email requesting a refund of deposit and cancel the order. They refuse to refund the deposit and will not cancel the order. I have tried to dispute the charge with my credit card but because it is past 2 billing cycles they cannot help. At this point I feel I have no recourse other than filing a complaint with you.

  In January I ordered furniture from *********. Three of the items ordered are tables. ( 1 cocktail table and 2 end tables). I keep being told they are on back-order however I called the manufacturer directly and were advised they are not on back order, they have them in stock and when I called the store back to tell them that, the manager yelled and screamed at me. I cannot get a clear answer if I am ever going to get these tables. He has an answer for everything. He also threatened me as if I am child he is going to tell the owners what I said. I wish he would maybe then I would get a clear answer. If a mistake was made, be honest. I still have no clue the status of these tables. I have also been told I can no longer talk to my salesperson.

  After 9 months of waiting/no delivery in sight cancelled/received full refund from ************* 9/24/22 went to ********* Furniture (prior customers) spoke to ****** (salesperson) stated only interested in stock items available by 4-6 weeks. Found a set, ****** advised was in ********** 6-8 weeks delivery. Put $100 down next day proceeded. ****** wrote on receipt "Deposit Refundable" which we needed per our discussion. We signed, left $874.91 down. Didn't realize our copy had that crossed out until much later when I questioned it was told that was standard procedure only applied to the $100 (deception #1) not what we were told at purchase. Months went by no contact unless we called each time they said they couldn't call "**********" they had to send an email/ letter & 5 days to respond which never happened. Each inquiry we made we asked about cancelling advised we could do that (they failed to state we would lose deposit deception #2). Went to the store in early January asked to speak to the owner and was told not allowed. Called asking to speak to ****** the salesperson to cancel was told had to speak to mgr (*****). Later learned that ****** the salesperson was an owner deception #3. By 1/24/23 we had enough called mgr to cancel/refund was told doesn't work that way (deception #4) Mgr stated they make the rules will contact "CA" & advise in 5 days (never did). I called 2/2 spoke to mgr got same story. 2/6 a ****** called offered $200 off told him to cancel he said mgr would call me (never happened). 3/7 I posted a **** review 3/9 ****** called said full order was in I questioned timing of my review/full delivery concerned would get old inventory was assured all new & inspected prior to delivery. Wanting to end this agreed COD only, 3 of the 4 items came old/damaged deception #5. 3/18 went to store to cancel mgr said owner would review, told them needed a response by 3/20 never happened. All bait & switch, deception, scripted responses now 28 weeks

  On Dec 27, 2022, I went to Stanleys Furniture store in *********, **, looking for a leather chair that matched my existing loveseat, since they carry that brand. I was handed a picture of the exact set that I have, with the exact finish by the salesman, so I gave him a check for $500 down on a $2000 chair. I went back the very next day with a cushion from my existing loveseat just to be sure. When I showed the same salesman the cushion, I was then told that the manufacturer no longer makes the polished leather finish that was in the picture he showed me the day before. I told the salesperson that because of that I no longer wanted the chair. He told me that either they would tear up the check or give me a refund. I should have stopped payment on the check, but I trusted him. On Dec 30, 2022, the check I gave him was cashed. Ive called several times and just get the same response that I will get a refund eventually. Its now 1/31/23 and Ive yet to get a refund on a chair that doesnt exist and could not be ordered. I really dont believe that it will be issued. Please help.

  We purchased a desk from ********* on 3/20/21. In the beginning of August, of this year, ********* picked up the desk to take it for repair. The bottom desk drawer would not stay closed. It is now the middle of November and they have not returned the desk from repair. We call them 2-3 times a week to check on the status but are getting the run around. They keep saying they will call us back, but they never do.
