We special ordered a beautiful sofa, love seat combo that are electrical reclining. It took almost 2 months for the couches to arrive, which we were patient with. Two weeks after having these couches in our living room, a recliner on one side of our love seat quit working. About 2 weeks later the other switch on the love seat went out. I called them and they worked with me and sent a technician out to my house. Both switches on the love seat were replaced free of charge, as they should have been. Then, a switch on the sofa went out and we couldn't decline. I called again and they again sent a technician out and this switch was replaced. And finally, the fourth switch stopped working, making all of them now being replaced. I thought all was well now as we hadn't had any issues with the replaced switches. Then, 2 replaced switches stopped working so I called to talk with a manager. I told the manager my preference was to just return the sofa and love seat and start over, but to my surprise, the manager began accusing me and my family of being "too rough on the switches." I told him assuredly that me and my family are no harder on these switches than any other family across the country would be. He then questioned my integrity and said that what I was reporting couldn't be the case because this company, Best, was highly reputable and they make a good product. I told him I am highly reputable and what I was reporting is the truth. This manager continued to question my integrity, the integrity of my wife and daughters and continued to blame us for the poor performance of these (switches) couches. I suggested that we return these for in-store credit and start over and then he said "we're not going to be able to turn around and sell those as new." I told him that wasn't my problem. He continued his accusations and was rude and disrespectful. The phone call ended with the manager saying "I don't know what to tell you, I'll check with the manufacturer and see what we can do. This manager was inappropriate, unprofessional, immature, rude, and 100% not workable. We spent $3,000 on our couches and now wish we would have just went somewhere else or just bought a non-electrical reclining sofa and love seat for about a third the price.
My advise and two cents, please don't go to Blacker's. The furniture is no better quality than other businesses like Wayfair, Overstock.com, or maybe even Big Lots. And, don't go to Blacker's because once a salesman (I have no issue with our salesman) sells you an item, if there is an issue, you get referred to the manager whose stand out qualities I have mentioned above.
Very disappointing
Update #2....
So, Luke is the man!!! By far the hardest working, supportive of customers, staff member at Blacker's. He single handedly took on issue and did all the leg work. He was the one who took the time to call the manufacturer for me and I don't even think this is his usual responsibility. He ended up replacing all the transformers in my electric reclining sofas and I wanted some time to go by to make sure that this was the big fix. No problems since he replaced the transformers. Thanks Luke!!!! read more
