Ashley Furniture Store - Ashley Furniture Moldy Rip off!
Bedroom Set - Complaint
Review by indira.ramdin on 2013-01-10

ELMHURST, NEW YORK -- I had bought furniture from Ashley furniture store and it hasn't even been a year yet and I noticed that mold continuously forms on the dresser, night stand, and bed board. The mold only forms on the furniture, no where else. I called the company up and they don't want to take responsibility for the situation. This situation serves as a health hazard for my family and I am deeply concerned. I suggest not buying wooden products from them. My next step will to take them to court.

You might also seek assistance from the NY consumer agency via http://www.dos.ny.gov/consumerprotection and you could also give a call to the health department at (212) 383-4660 to see if they have some advice for you.

Even though I'm no fan of Ashley, I see absolutely no bases for taking the retailer to court in this situation.
Mold can start and grow for a verity of situations.
I'd be interested Indira once the court case has been filed.

Mold grows and thrives on organic material, particularly on wood surfaces. The presence of mold normally indicates a high humidity level in the room, which can be controlled by a dehumidifier. The placement of furniture can be conducive to mold growth, as it is normally adjacent to a wall area which creates a confined space for the humidity to encourage growth.
If you are finding mold on your furniture, it is HIGHLY likely you have mold growth behind walls, cabinets, underneath carpet and similar areas.
