We purchased our couch, The Baxley, May of 2017. We had a good buying experience, however, once the couch was delivered, within 1 month we had to have a tech come out because the couch cushion on one side had "lost its air" as was termed by the service tech. We thought that would be the answer but after a few more months we started to notice the same issue in a different cushion. I called customer service and they said someone would call back. After some time and no call I called again and they sent out another replacement cushion and a tech came out. By this time we had trouble with more cushions. When the tech came out the second time he said the cushions that were sent were wrong. I also asked him if we replace the cushions this time how will it hold up versus the last one that was replaced? He said it would probably not hold up. I said that if it could not hold up what would be the recourse and he said a re select of the couch. I said ok. So then more of the wrong cushions came. I called the store and they didn't know what was going on and said called customer service and they don't seem to care. Today I called the store again. I was told they would call me back and they didn't. I called again. Then the manager, Valerie said she didn't want to "do this" with me. I have a problem and need resolution. I thought that is what management was for? Then I called corporate and spoke to a gentleman named Shuntez and he said that Ashley Furniture doesn't consider this a problem. He said it is normal wear and tear and they will send these cushions but it will be the last thing that they do to resolve this issue. Shuntez also informed me that he is the final decision maker and that NO ONE ELSE will be able to go over his head to change this decision. I asked his actual title and final decision maker was all he would say.
Here is the final piece of information. They redesigned the cushions for this couch after our purchase. That is why we received the wrong cushions several times. This tells me that we weren't the only issue with cushions. Also since the new ones won't fit this couch we will be stuck with the defective ones and no one at Ashley cares.
My suggestion is to shop elsewhere!!!
