I just purchased a beautiful custom leather reclining couch from Arizona Leather, and am eager to receive it. I have shopped extensively to find a leather couch in the desired color, size and style that will be well suited to our home. Arizona had not one, but several models that met all of our specifications. The salesmen, Gilbert and Paul, were professional, interested in helping me find the ideal product, and knew their products well. They thoroughly described each product including specific pros and cons based on our needs, and clearly outlined the sales process and policies. Arizona is the only store that could offer the exact shade of leather (deep red) that we wanted - so many colors and types of leather from which to choose!
I had shopped first at La-Z-Boy, knowing they would carry a wide variety of reclining models. Their staff were interested and helpful, and knew their products well. Unfortunately they didn't have the combination of specs that we desired. Nice quality and styles to meet most needs, just not on the mark for us this time.
The worst experiences were at Easy Life and Renaissance Furniture in Laguna Hills. I had a credit card in hand ready to purchase a quality couch, but sales staff in both stores completely ignored me. I walked the floor in both stores for over 10 minutes, and not once did a salesperson greet me or offer assistance. They DID see me, the stores were NOT busy, and I was obviously not important. Additionally, their showrooms didn't have on display anything remotely meeting my needs.
I visited Ashley, which also was a bad experience. They have a wide inventory, but the quality is poor and the selections didn't meet my needs. The salesperson was creepy, and must have had a hearing problem. in spite of telling him exactly what I was looking for, he continued to show me inappropriate products despite my continued efforts to repeat what I wanted. Additionally, I informed him that we wanted high quality, and he kept pushing me toward imitation leather discussing the low price point. With my patience depleted, I decided I would never walk into that store again!
I am pleased to have found a store that not only had exactly what I wanted, but salesmen that treated me in a professional manner. As another reviewer mentioned, the pricing is not low, but you get what you pay for in furniture. Pricing seemed on target for the quality of the products. Can't wait for delivery! read more
