The RoomStore
Reviews and Complaints

On April 29, 2010 I went into The Room Store located at 3539 W. Northern Ave, in Phoenix, AZ. I was approached by sales associate Michelle, I told her that I was just looking around, I was interested in a living room suite. She showed me around and I found a set that I was kind of interested in. I told her that I wanted to go home and talk to my husband. She told me that in order to get the sales price I had to leave a deposit. I again explained to her that I was just looking, she assured me that I was under no obligation to purchase, that the deposit would just hold the set at the sale price. I put 10% down. She then told me that I would want the warranty on the furniture. She told me that it was only $59.00 and that it covered everything, pet soil, kid soil, blood, kool aid…. She told me that it didn’t matter what stain if any was put on the furniture that it was covered. I gave her my debt card for the 10% down and told her that if she didn’t hear back from me that my husband said no, and that I wasn’t interested in the furniture, and I wanted the 10% put back on my card.

The next day, I received a phone call from the room store telling me that my furniture was ready to be picked up. I was confused because I never called back, my husband had said no we were not going to get the furniture. I went to the store, to see what was going on, I was told to go to the back for the guys to load my furniture. I asked to talk to a manager, and was told again that my furniture was in the back.

I drove around to the back, the guys loaded the furniture told me to sign a receipt, gave me two bottles of cleaner told me to use it on any stain that might get on the furniture, and went back inside.

I drove home angrier than ***, not only had I NOT called Michelle back, my debt card had been charged without my permission, I now had furniture that I didn’t want. I took it home and left it wrapped in the plastic for over two weeks. I didn’t know what I was going to do with the furniture, I had an unauthorized charge on my card, Michelle had went ahead with the sale without my permission. My husband was pissed because the furniture had been purchased when we had both agreed that we were not going to purchase it at this time.

Three weeks had passed, I decided to get rid of my old furniture, and put the new furniture in my formal living room. A couple of days later I received a phone call from The Room Store, I was asked if I had picked up the furniture, I told them that I had, I was then informed that I had not paid for the furniture, I explained to the representative that I was under the impression that Michelle had ran my card without my permission and that I had been called to pick up the furniture. I was told that I needed to pay for the furniture or that criminal charges were going to be filed against me. I was furious. I told her I would drive the 60 miles back to the store to see what was going on. She told me to hang on that she had to talk to the store manager. She came back and said that it was okay with him if I came into the store instead of giving her my card over the phone. How dare they? I had done nothing wrong and now they were accusing me of stealing?

On the drive to the store, the more I thought about the entire situation the angrier I got. I went into the store just to look, gave them my debt card number for a deposit only, was called to pick up furniture that I didn’t want, then I was called and accused of stealing from the store. When I got to the store I demanded to talk to a manager. I told him what had taken place, he could not of cared less. I told him that I wanted to be reimbursed for gas for the drive to repay for the furniture. He only gave me $50.00 off of my purchase. I decided then that I would never shop at the room store again.

This furniture is sitting in my formal living room, it is not used, due to the furniture being off white, It will be used for entertaining only. Last week my female dog went in heat, she got into my living room, and jumped on the sofa’s getting blood on them, I immediately used the cleaning solution given to me on the stain, the blood came right out, but the area was now bleached from the chemical.

On Tuesday November 23rd, I called the room store and talked to Rose, in the warranty department, I told her what had happened. She wanted to know exactly where the stains were, how big they were, and on what cushions. I told her, I also told her over and over that I had used the cleaning solution given to me by the Room Store, and that the area was bleached whiter than the other areas. She told me that someone would call me within 24 hours.

Today is November 29, 2010, I finally received a call from the Room Store, Elizabeth had called and left a message on my phone, I called her back and left a message for her to return my call. She called back, and informed me that after reviewing my file my claim had been denied, I was stunned. She told me that my sofa’s only needed a cleaning. Really? She can make that decision without seeing my furniture? She told me that the stains were not covered under the warranty. I told her that I wanted to talk to her manager, she transferred me to Cynthia’s voice mail. I left a message for her to call me back. Seven hours later, I received a voice mail on my phone, Cynthia had left a message that after reviewing my claim it had been denied. Again, my claim was being denied without explanation. I called back, again Elizabeth answered the phone. She was rude and hateful, she informed me that she had transferred my call to her supervisor this morning. I told her that I was calling her supervisor back, I asked why my claim had been denied, I told her again that the solution bleached my furniture, she called me a liar, she told me that she had my claim in front of her and it didn’t state anywhere about the cleaner bleaching my furniture. I told her to talk to Rose, better yet listen to the recorded call, she will hear for herself that I mentioned it to Rose over and over that I used the cleaning solution to clean the stain. Maria started yelling at me that I never mentioned anything about the solution this morning, that everything that I told her this morning was what was on the report. I tried to explain to her that I had no idea what Rose had put on the report because I hadn’t seen the report. I do have witness’s that know for a fact that I mentioned over and over to Rose that the cleaning solution had bleached my furniture. Maria hung up on me. I called back and a man answered the phone, I told him that I wanted to talk to Cynthia, he transferred me to her voice mail. I left a message that there had to be a communication problem, I wasn’t understanding how my claim could be denied and to please call me back asap. I left this message at 4:30pm.

I am furious at how I have been treated. How can anyone make a decision on warranty issue without sending someone out to look at the furniture in person, or sending someone out to take pictures? I looked up the room store online, its amazing the consumer complaints that are listed. Apparently I am not the only customer who has been scammed, or taken on this same issue. I am not willing to take not covered as an answer. I purchased a warranty for this furniture, the chemical that I was given by the room store bleached my couches. I want someone to come out to my house and look at the bleached areas, and I want the couches to be covered by the warranty that I unwillingly purchased when the furniture was charged to my account without my permission. I expect to hear back from the Room Store Corporate office regarding this matter. I have every right to have this furniture covered by the warranty.

Room Store continued to charge an insurance fee on my account even thogh I had canceled the policy. They acknowledged my cancellation but claimed I did not cancel it with the "Insurance Department." The "Insurance Department has a different phone number so when you are speaking to "customer service", you are not speaking to anyone with authority to cancel any time of insurance. If you want to cancel any type of fee please be sure to get a confirmation number or they will claim that it never got canceled. Their argument is always based on you did not speak to the right department. I was able to get half the charges removed but it took three hours of talking and pleading. ps The furniture is very poor quality.

I purchased a 5 year warranty for a couch I purchased at the Roomstore. I called to file a claim for a stain on my couch. I did not know what the stain was and they denied my claim because I did not know where it came from. There is nothing in the warranty paperwork that says the claim has to be known.

I called weeks later in order to file stains on my couch from a party we had on the weekend and they denied my claim again due to "build up". They told me that I can dispute the claim by sending an email. I sent an email and no response.

I called again and they told me to send a picture of the stains on the couch, so they can verify that it's not a build up. I sent a picture and the claim still got denied.

I've talked to 3 representatives and they were rude and very hesitant to help. Representative, Blanca, said that the claims all have to be researched since they can be fraud "just like all other insurance companies." I said that insurance companies come out to look at the damages before they can say that it's fraud which the Roomstore did not do.

I asked for a refund for the warranty and they said they could not refund it. I am highly disappointed, and their rudeness is enough to give you a headache for an entire day. I am a very unhappy customer, and I have been telling people not to go to the Roomstore to buy anything whatsoever.

I spent a ton of money at the roomstore in Newport News, va.The chest of drawers has missing finish, dents and horrible craftsmanship.I have called and called and continue to get the run around.The best part is the truck driver ran over my mail box and apparently this complaint has to go to a different department.it's beyond pathetic the way this has been handled.I'm not sure if buying furniture anywhere else is the answer but the roomstore is the last place anyone should spend money in.I certainly hope they don't treat everyone else like this

I purchased a headboard for my 7-year-old daughter n June 2010. As I disassembled the pieces, I realized that a leg to the headboard was missing. I immediately contact customer service who mentioned that it would be shipped and ready in a month which would have been July. Patiently, I waited but after a month and no contact from the company, I contacted them again. This time the customer service reps insisted on calling me back as they attempted to contact the vendor for the piece. After three reps not returning my call, I called back to speak to a member of management. The woman also suggested that she would give me a call back as she attempted to contact the vender. I relayed to her my reluctance due to the history of their reps to not return phone calls. She insisted that she would return my call by the close of the business day. Unsurprisingly, she did not return my call as I called her numerous times after this day to inquire about the status of the needed piece. After the third day, I finally spoke with her and she stated that the furniture would not be available until September 2010. Of course, frustrated, I asked her about any compensation, return fees, or even getting the missing piece from the showroom floor being that my daughter needed the component for her bed. The manager was aggressive in tone and rude as she blatantly said "there is nothing I can do, you will just have to wait." My question to her was, "did I wait to give you my money for the furniture?". She kept repeating the same thing and then making up different reasons on why I couldn't get my money back. The service was terrible and the claim that prices are cut and not corners are beyond false and in fact this claim should be illegal.

I had ordered full bedroom and living room set furniture from Rockville, MD Roomstore furniture on May 12, 2010. I was told 90% of the furniture is in stock for next week's delivery before I made the purchase. But after I had made the purchase, the rude manager told me that only about 50% is ready so they will deliever everything around 25th or 26th of May. For whatever reason, the manager at that store is very mean, I didn't even feel like arguing or talking with him for anything. Also, I could not get his name out to write it here either. To avoid that, I just went along with their words. Here comes May 25th going onwards all the way to first week of June, and no furniture came neither any calls to tell me what was going on.I called the store in between many times and I was told they that are very busy and will get back to me soon, but no one ever called me. Then one day, I called and told them I will stay on hold as long as needed because I need to know what is going on with my order. Then some lady who initially picks up the phone every time we call checked upon it, and told me my furniture will be ready by June 14th and delivered sometime after that. I was mad and I told her i am going to cancel my order, this is totally unacceptable. She calls me back within an hour stating everything will be delievered on June 10th. I had no choice to expedite it at that point. I had a get together organized for June 4th weekend, and I had no choice but to rent the furniture and pay $150 for that. Had I received my furniture in time, I would not have wasted $150 in renting. I took a dayoff on June 10th from work and stayed home as they told me the delivery time will be between 10:15-2:15 pm. May 10th comes, and it is 3:00 pm and I have not heard or seen anyone from Roomstore Delivery. There I am again calling the delievery number and upon checking they told me the driver is running late and will be there in another hour or hour and a half. Finally around 4:15 pm they show up and start delievring my furniture. Delievery guys kept on telling me to give them a big tip because I had lot of furnitre. Not only that, I got scratches on furniture which I ignored having no energy to deal with them again taking it back. This gets even worse, they did not fix the knobs for my dresser, side table, and chest, and told me where they were and how will I fix them. I asked them am I supposed to do it, and they confidently said yes you are supposed to fix it yourself. I was shocked! I have known friends who also recently bought furniture from cheaper stores and still the store representatives had patiently fixed up the entire furniture for them. It was a shock that roomstore had a big name only and very low customer service standards.

By the time they were done putting everything in my rooms, I noticed two side tables are missing. Delievery boys said they have no idea and that is all they are delievering. They left and I called the delievery number again. I was told side tables were ready last week and somehow the order was changed (Keep in mind I was not notified of this by anyone from my roomstore or their office in general until I figured out myself). The representative did tell me that I should be getting the delivery within next week as tables are ready and status will be updated tonight. Representative also told me my roomstore should be calling me within a day to let me know the new delievery date for the tables. 3 days passed after that and I did not hear from roomstore. I called them and after being put on hold for 15 minutes by one or other department, finally my representative came on line and told me my tables should be ready by June 24th. I was told this by them on June 14th. He also told me he will call me back the very next day and give me final confirmation of my furniture delievery, and IMPORTANT to note, today is June 21st (7 days since he promised to call back) and I have not heard back from anyone. At this time, there is no point of calling either the store or the customer service or anyone else. I am sick and tired, and repenting on my purchase made with them.

Here is why I am tired:

1. First, my initial delievery was delayed two weeks.

2. Second, no one notified me of so until I called and called and finally got hold of someone

3. Third, I took a dayoff for the same as they promised to come earlier part of the day to deliever full furniture. I could have saved my dayoff as I am home by 2:30 anyways. Neither they delievered the full furniture that means next time I plan to have another dayoff per their convenience nor they actually even fixed (knobs on dresser, chest, side table) what they delivered.

4. Fourth, they did not call me about missing pieces and every time I called was given false hope and information.

5. Fifth, every time I was promised to receive a call back, never did in real. I had no choice to call myself because I had paid a big chunk of money to them for my stuff that I almost feel like begging every time I call them to hear an update.

6. They are so inconsiderate to the date (June 21st) I have not heard back from delievery or my store about the missing pieces.

7. Because Roomstore did not keep up with their delivery date promise, 2 weeks after promised date I paid $150 to rent furniture for my planned get together. Who is going to cover for that cost...no one but myself maybe!

I mean does it take a month and a half to prepare two side tables, or do they have to plant a tree first to start making my furniture. Is someone out there from Roomstore who can do anything for me? Until my voice is heard, I will be posting my complaint site to site.

How insane! I recently purchased a living room set from The Roomstore, had it delivered, it didn't fit through my front door so I was forced to refuse the set. They asked if I wanted to pick something else out, I said no. I canceled it altogether. Now I'm, being charged a delivery fee for something I never received! I called the bank, the store, customer service - no one gave me an answer, they said it was "policy". I never signed ANYTHING stating that could/would happen. And nothing like that is on the website or in the packet that came along with it. THERE IS NO WRITTEN DOCUMENT STATING THEY CAN CHARGE A DELIVERY FEE IF PRODUCT IS RETURNED. I believe that is called ILLEGAL and thankfully my attorney agrees!

We had ordered a living room furniture set (sofa, love seat, chair and a half, and ottoman) from the Roomstore located in Woodbridge, Virginia. Our sales person, Pamela, STRUGGLED TO CALCULATE OUR TOTAL. My husband came up with the correct amount using his cell phone and then had to walk her through the addition and discount.

On the day of the delivery one of the two men tracked WET MUD across the family room of our 1 MONTH old house.

Once they placed the furniture and took off the protective covering we noticed that EVERY single piece of furniture had MULTIPLE stains.

We called the number given on our receipt for any delivery problems and told them about the carpet. They told us to get an estimate for cleaning and let them know the price. We quickly got an estimate and called back. The carpet was cleaned six days ago but we have not been able to reach the representative at the claims department, Rachel, to get a status on reimbursement.

The delivery guys suggested we have a technician come out to clean the furniture pieces instead of sending everything back. One of them also called customer service himself and we spoke to the representative on his cell phone. The representative also suggested having the technician come out instead of sending so many pieces back and waiting for new ones to be delivered.

The delivery guys also informed us that even if we sent back the furniture we would NOT receive new furniture instead we would GET THE SAME OLD FURNITURE CLEANED.

Since we were so frustrated because of the mud stains on the carpet we had the delivery men leave the stained furniture excluding the ottoman which had so many stains we didn't think it was worth cleaning.

Our appointment with the technician was scheduled for Saturday morning. We had spoke to the techinican earlier any explained we had a very important meeting in the morning as well. He reassured us that he would be done cleaning all the pieces well before the time.

The technician came TWO HOURS LATE, of course he did not call to tell us he would be late. Even after the cleaning the pieces still do not look new, so we decided to return the whole set.

After TWO DAYS of arguing with multiple sales representative and customer service representatives and their supervisors (Melissa and a rude woman named Wendy) we finally got them to agree to take back the furniture. Of course we still do not have a date for when they will come pick up the furniture.

We are now being charged a 10% restocking fee for getting damaged furniture and for having our carpets ruined.

DO NOT ORDER FROM ROOMSTORE! Poor quality, incompetent employees, and we believe they resend damaged furniture to other customers.

I have been purchasing all my furnitute from the RoomStore for the past five years bedroom, living, and dining. Everything has been pretty good up until the latest purchase of another recliner. Purchased the chair in late December 2009 or Early January 2010. After having it for two weeks I noticed that when it reclined there was a gap. the top was not seating well on the base creating a gap when reclined (even went to the store to sit in the display to make sure I wasn't crazy). I called to exchange and they said no they cannot exchange I would have to utilize my warranty that I bought. I've been going round and round with Service because they can only come out on Wed. Is it me or should they be a bit more flexible when I spend my hard earned money at they're store. Guess it wont get fixed and my business will go somewhere else from now on.

We bought a bed in Nov 08 (15 months) with storage drawers on each side.
This month the slats broke which in turn made the drawers get off line.
I went into the Roomstore to inquire about the bed and found out the bed was discontinued in Jun 09. I was given the customer service number, call them and was told a manager would call me back on 2/23. No called so I called on 2/24 and left another message for a manager. Melissa did call me back and told me there was nothing they could do because it was pass the 12 month warranty. She told me to go to Home Depot or Loews and purchase some some wood to fix it. Wow! I paid $750 for broken cheap wood. Amazing - their slogan is customer loyalty! Go figure...NO more Roomstore for me or anyone I talk to!

Spent $2400.00 on a sectional sofa and in the 15 months we've had it we've had to call them out 3 times and was about to call out a 4th time. The toggles that you pull to recline the ends of the 2 sofas we bought keep snapping off. It's such a design flaw that the repair tech ordered "EXTRA" parts because he said they are having to repair these often. Now I have a $2400.00 sectional and extra parts. How many times is too many? Each toggle (there are 4) has broken off at least once. If this was a car I'd sue for my money back under the lemon law but now I'm stuck with cruddy furniture that keeps breaking or I can go "re-select" and get stuck with more cruddy furniture from them when the right thing to do would be to get my money refunded (since it's a design flaw) and take my business elsewhere. DO NOT spend your hard earned dollars at The Roomstore!

Complaint against the Roomstore and TRS Financing which is inside The Roomstore in Glendale, AZ. I have gone around and around with the RS and TRS because of overcharging me for delivery and not honoring the "real" sale price of a sofe which I did bring ad paper into store when I purchased sofa also they did not disclose they would charge $65.00 for delivery as I was told $45.00 but they stated because they brought on Sunday $20.00 extra, The manager Dominic stated "he would credit me the 20.00" when I went into store this is what happened. They laughed at me and made fun of me and did not refund the $20.00 nor honor the overcharge of the sofa of 10.00 and TRS also lied. I was told by Aaron it would be written up as a lease but on 11/1/2009 changed to 90 days same as cash because I WAS NOT LEASING as I gave $180.00 down and not as a lease. I called RS customer service and they contacted the Roomstore in Glendale and stated this "it was agreeable with RS and TRS that I would be refunded credit $20.00 plus the $10.00 and it would be 90 days same as cash." I stated okay.. I was grateful and thought it was over. BUT since then no credit and TRS has not only threatened me and been nasty but stated they know nothing of this and they have been holding a $125.00 check I sent them USPS Certified Mail and Aaron the manager is a real nasty person and total untruthful. They want to have me pay $1200.00 for a cheap couch that had to be replaced within two weeks. I had asked for a refund within 72 hours and Aaron gave me static and stated I would see no monies if any for 30 days.

The total cost of sofa is $347.00 and I have paid $305.00 and have asked for a pay off amount which they refuse to give. Aaron told me the only way he would give me 90 days same as cash is if I buy more furniture.

I know as the Good Lord does that The Roomstore CS had resolved this problem but now TRS is pretending they know nothing and are playing nasty hardball. The Roomstore is not supporting the truth (Sylvia) I am a senior and disabled and I have so stressed out behind this as a cheap sofa is not worth all this but I do not have $305.00 to give away.

I went to Roomstore to buy a sofa and was directed to there special financing because of credit issues. I was to purchase the sofa 90 days same as cash but it was written up as I lease it but I had no intentions of leasing. The mgr at TTS Aaron related he would turn the account to 90 days same as cash on Nov 1st since he had a quota issue and the lease contract was only temporary.
Nov 1st I called to verify this and he then tells me he will only honor if I buy more furniture. Not only this I was charged 10.00 more dollars than the ad I brought to the store and 20.00 more for delivery than I agreed upon that stated it was $65.00 because of Sunday I did not request Sunday nor was I aware they were doing this as Aaron stated he thought they were delivering at No charge. I was gullible believing this con as I needed a sofa but 3 days later when I realized it all I asked for my monies back and they could take their sofa they gave me a hard time and told me no refund for at least 30 days or more. I went to Romstore CS and demanded help and they talked with TRS and Roomstore manager and I was told it would be 90 days same as cash and they would credit me the 30.00 but now TRS will not honor and are holding a 125..oo personal check deliberately as I -sent certified US mail. I am a senior and I have been conned and treated disresptfully by this TRS company who will not tel the truth. HELP

I have written AZ Attorney General Consumer Affairs

I bought furniture from The RoomStore. It was damaged when it was delivered. Two months later, they still have our money and the furniture.

PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END AND YOU WILL FIND THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE YOUR COMPLAINT.

Have you seen their disclaimer “The warranty is void if they consider that damage was caused by abuse, negligence, or accident etc.?” In this case the damage was caused by abuse, negligence or accident by The Room Store before it was delivered. They fraudulently use they their warranty.

They don’t care!

We have tried calling them and they don’t return our calls. Just like everyone else. Now we don’t want to talk to them.

I’m a patient person. I will contact our credit card company. I also think there are more significant issues after reading this list, fraud comes to mind so I will contact The Office of the Attorney General. And then we will see what happens…

And, I happen to have great media contacts nationally which may be more of a problem for them. A few articles and then maybe take out a full page ad beside theirs indicating that they are not reputable.

They hire incompetent customer service reps and they lie. This company is worse than used car dealers. My lawyer is as sharp as a tack. I have more confidence in him to obtain a resolution than I do talking with any of the incompetent employees at The RoomStore.

I’m sure they do get complaints, but to generalize and infer that those of us that have legitimate complaints are liars, and they pocket millions for not following through is a disgrace. The warranty that they use generates hundreds of thousands of dollars for The RoomStore annually and is not worth the paper it is written on.

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY FROM THE ROOMSTORE.

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT APPLY FOR CREDIT FROM THIS COMPANY

This business is preying on you in a bad economy. Some of us can still afford to buy but we don’t want junk and damaged goods for our hard earned dollars.

If you do buy or have bought and have a problem contact your Attorney General. (Google Attorney Generals Office and your state—there are consumer laws with regards to delivery of damaged furniture, credit issues, warranties and just because they say they say they will not refund your money does not mean they are telling the truth and does not mean that it is legal) If they do not follow the law they will be prosecuted and the companies will be fined. There is a recent case in Texas charging National Furniture Liquidators with deceptive trade practices. They will do the work for you and in this case, they are seeking $20, 000 (that will go to the State) for “EACH” violation and they are seeking refunds for all the victims. The Texas AG’s office encourages you to call if you have a complaint 800-252-8011or file a complaint at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov. Also contact all of your State Senators and your United State Senators. The AG’s office and the Senator’s office will let you know specifically what the law is and how to lodge a complaint, Free. The AG will do it for you if the company violates laws and if they have a series of complaints, so send them your complaints. Then you can contact a lawyer if you want. This is the only way to deal with a company that repeatedly uses bad business practices. I’m sure it will be a long time before we see our money but The RoomStore will have a fight. I don’t have the energy to do it so I will put it in the hands of other’s that know how to deal with unscrupulous people with unscrupulous business practices. I actually might enjoy watching the time and money The RoomStore will have to waste, just as I wasted my money buying at The RoomStore and my time trying to resolve this.

I ordered a entertainment console and the bridge panel, a 2 piece set. It was delivered on 10/31/09. When the delivery guys dropped it off, it was missing the parts to connect the console and bridge together. This is annoying as we were excited for our new furniture. They called customer service to ship out the missing parts. On 11/04/09 the missing parts were delivered and I found out I did not receive ALL of the missing parts I needed. They setup a service guy to come out and put the piece of furniture together 11/11/09 and now I am waiting to hear if they can correctly figure out what missing pieces I do not have and get me those before the service guy comes.

I have never dealt with such horrible service. It is hard to believe RoomStore is a furniture company and this is what they have to offer. To really top things off, the console has a chip in the wood. My fiancee and I are very dissatisfied with RoomStore. I have bought furniture from Rooms To Go before and never had any problems like this. I now know I should always shop at Rooms To Go unless RoomStore can show me they know how to run a business.

My wife and I bought an end table and chair/ottoman. The items were delivered to the nearest store and we went to pick them up. Unfortunately the chair/ottoman would not fit in our car. Because RoomStore will not deliver anything once it is shipped to its stores, we opted to cancel the order. No one in the store (three sale people, no customers) could handle a refund transaction so i had to call back the following afternoon to speak with an office manager. She told me there is a 10 percent restocking fee (it's in the contract). I mentioned it might be a good idea if the sales people also mentioned that (they seem to bring up an extended warranty, couldn't they mention a restocking fee?). The office manager basically said they don't mention it because it is in the contract. The she proceeds to tell me that the manager offered to deliver the item in his own van, but I told him no. That's a lie. At no point during our effort to "return" the item did anyone offer a solution to getting the chair/ottoman to our home. was told to rent a truck and do it myself. The office manager said "that's what the manager said." Well, I don't care what he said, he's a liar. And that is a perfect demonstration of their "customer service" or lack there of. My word of advice...don't be done in by fancy TV ads...avoid this place. Bad customer service all around. In this day and age one would think they'd try harder...but obviously RoomStore's policy is take the customer's money and offer no service (unless you want to buy the warranty).

We purchased the Cindy Crawford leather couch and sofa, we loved the look, and we have purchased from Roomstore several times in the past and have always been happy. Howevr, when we purchased the furniture in August 2008, they delivered it, but there were noticeable flaws in the leather, so would not accept the furniture - they brought out 3 different sets before we were satified.

However, a few months into owning the furniture, we noticed that the foam was not bouncing back where were sitting. We didn't act immediately but in April 2009, we contacted the Roomstore to come out and look at the furniture. They determined on April 20, 2009 that the foam needed to replaced.

Today is June 19th and the "parts" have still not come in. They cannot tell me when they will come in, although on June 5th when I made an inquiry as to where the parts were, they told me they would be in "next week." I just got off the phone and they have no answers as to when the furniture can be repaired - the representative is going to get my message to management immediately to try and get our furniture repaired, but still cannot give me an estimated date of repair.

I'm very disappointed in the quality of this furniture and I wonder if others are having the same problem with this particular line. I wonder if Cindy Crawford cares that her name and reputation are at stake with this furniture.

Has anyone else had this problem? How was it resolved? I would be happier if I could just get them to take this furniture and give me the credit to pick out something different. They say they won't do that until they have fixed it at least once.

To Whom It May Concern:
I purchased furniture on May 7th 2009 and was told by my sales person that the items would be put together and if the prices were discounted I would get the difference within 30 days. I spoke with Brian, the store manager on May 12th about the tables I purchased and he told me the items were not put together, however, if I had issues putting these items together I could return them. I arrived May 12th around 6 pm to pick up half of my order (loveseat, chair, couch, and lamps) and finally by 9 pm, all my furniture came out of the back. After wasting half my evening trying to get furniture, I was told that there was going to be a 10% off sale and I would get the difference starting May 16th, even after I used a 10% coupon I printed off the internet. May 16th came and I saw my pieces of furniture were discounted in the store by 10% and so I went home and selected all the furniture pieces I purchased May 7th and took a screen shot showing they were 10% off the original price. I then proceed to enter my coupon code (promotion code) into the order and another 10% came off. I printed both of these screen shots off so I could tell Roomstore about this situation. I called May 20th and spoke with Mary, without giving my name or phone number, I asked if the rest of my furniture had arrived and her response was, “how am I suppose to know if it is here or not”. Mary was not very friendly and when I told her about my situation with the discount, she screamed at me and said “if I knew why you could get 10% more off, I would be on Opera and told me to call customer service”. I could not get through to the 1-800 on the web-site so I called the Fairfax store, and spoke with a manager who was extremely pleasant and gave me the customer service issue line (I can see why Roomstore has one) and also told me I need to discuss it with the store manager before calling someone higher up. I called back to Roomstore and Mary answered the phone and I asked her when Brian was going to work and her response was, “he is off for a while”, and I continued to ask her and she finally told me “Saturday, sometime” and asking once again she told me it was Saturday 9 – 6. I did tell Mary I will be sending a complaint to Brian concerning her customer service and her response was, “whatever”. Roomstore is in the business to sell items and have great customer service, Mary does not have good customer service and she is one reason I will not be back to purchase from Roomstore. I then called the customer service line and received zero help from the first lady who refused to let me talk to a manager and told me she knew about my situation from Mary. So I understand that Mary called instantly to customer service to try and cover up her terrible customer service. Finally after asking about a dozen times from the rude customer service lady, she finally transferred me and I spoke with the manager for approximately 10 minutes to no prevail. The manager was very nice and understood my concerns, however she told me it was not false advertising, it was a GLITCH. It appears to be false advertising to me and lies by the sales team. If this situation cannot be resolved by Customer Service or Brian, the store manager, I will be forced to contact the Better Business Bureau of America and will be contesting 10% of my credit card charge when I receive my statement. This situation shows me that Roomstore does not have customer service skills and that they use false advertising for a quick sale (I have researched Roomstore complaints on the internet and this is not the first time that a buyer was told they would get a discount if the price went down within 30 days). I will never shop in roomstore again and as I told the sales people May 7th, I still need to purchase one more living room set and three bedroom sets. I am glad I only purchased one set of items from roomstore and not all the items. Marlo or any other furniture store will enjoy my business and treat me like a customer and not an “inconvenience to them”
