If could give this place negative stars I would. Filter the reviews, read all the low rated ones and believe them, they are all TRUE. This place should be shut down, how they are in business is beyond me. The "managers" David and Ken just walk around with the title, but have no empathy towards their customers or care to help. This place is a complete SCAM!
We came in on 9/1/20 looking for a specific sofa line. David "Mr. Manager" was the one that approached us asking if we needed help. I told him we had a 6pm appt. He asked our names and said he could help us. When I told him I was looking for the Darcy sofa, he gave me a strange look and asked why I wanted to see that line. I told him bc it looked nice from the website and my friend has it. He said they don't have it on display to show us and he doesn't think any of the other showrooms would have it bc it's "on the cheaper end". Like WHAT?! It's sold AT Ashley's Furniture, I didn't see it at the flea market (even though this place is worse than the flea market) and then came looking for it there. *Baffled* My husband and I seriously should have just turned around and left then and there. But David assured us that there are very nice sofas he can show us, "for a good deal". We walked around with him and he tried to pitch us every sofa under the sun. We finally broke free from him and wondered the store ourselves. That's when we saw a sofa we really liked. Mind you their price tag said $699, I decided to look on their website and the same sofa was $424. We found another lady named Evelyn and she said they can price match it for us. We ended up also ordering the matching chair. Delivery wasn't available until 9/30, so far out, but we really liked the set so we stuck with it. David had to come over and change the price for us and made a comment like, "Oh, I don't like this price at all". [Awkward silence]. We finished our transaction and headed out.
Here's where things get messy. 2 days later we stop into Living Spaces to look for dining stuff. As we are walking around, I see a sofa that looks EXACTLY like the one we just purchased at Ashley's, I walk over to read the tag and its the SAME sofa, Altari line. The one displayed was a huge sectional so I go online to their website and see the same sofa we bought for $350!! Now imagine that, Living Spaces selling a sofa for $350 and Ashley's had a selling price tag in their store for $699!!! I immediately call the store to cancel my order and the run around begins. They tell me that I have to call back the next day and speak with David bc he's the store manager and Ken who was their at the time is only a "sales manager" and can't help me. Makes no sense to me, but I said fine and called the next day. I went home and placed the order with Living Spaces (they also have a cheaper delivery and set up fee + cheaper 5 year warranty). My total saving was over $200. The next day I called to speak w/David and he literally tries telling me Living spaces have a terrible warranty and they are never undersold by Living spaces, blah blah blah. I told him to please just cancel my order. He says he did and that I will get a call from their centralized office in 48-72 hours to confirm my return. I'm like "WHAT? Confirm my return, it's confirmed, I'm telling you...just refund me". He said he can't. I asked for a order cancellation confirmation and he said they don't have anything like that. This didn't sit right with me, so after a few hours I called their customer service line and spoke with a rep, she told me my order wasn't cancelled. AFTER THE STORE MANAGER TOLD ME HE CANCELLED IT!! This is the shadiness of this business. She transferred me to the store and of course David was unavailable, yet I could clearly hear him in the background telling the associate on the phone what to say to me. I left a message and hung up. Later that evening, Ken called my husband's phone and tried telling him the they can price match Living spaces price and they are lying and can't get the order to us before they can bc they get the furniture from them. MORE LIES! and all of a sudden Ken has "manager authority", but the day before his hands were tired?! Also, I thought our order was cancelled according to David so why are we even discussing price match?! I tell him to tell Ken, NO and we just want this order CANCELLED and refunded. He emails us a screenshot of our order that shows me nothing and I guess that's supposed to be their way of showing good faith. IDK!
Anyway, A full week has gone by, still no call from the so called "centralized office", still no refund, just back and forth with the customer service reps + store associates and all I've learned is that no one at Ashley's furniture knows how to do their job. I finally got fed up and filed a dispute claim with my bank for the amount that no one knows how to refund us. This place is as scummy as they get and the people that work here are as crooked as they come. You have been warned! read more
