La-Z-Boy Incorporated Complaint - Inferior Furniture
Complaint
CALIFORNIA -- I purchased a sofa, loveseat and recliner from our local La-Z-Boy store last year. I had to special order all 3 pieces. The recliner's metal bar leaves deep indentations in the carpet when in the fully reclined position. Over time, the carpet will have holes in it. Lazyboy neither understands, nor cares about this situation. They refuse to do a thing about it.
I special ordered the sofa and loveseat in a napped fabric. They told me to expect delivery at the end of Sept 07, or first wk of Oct 07. I finally got all 3 pieces at the beginning of Nov 07. When I looked at the furniture, I couldn't believe what I was seeing!! The nap of the fabric had been laid in every direction, giving the furniture light and dark colors!! I could NOT get one person in the corporation to understand what the meaning of "napped" fabric was!! The furniture has visible flaws running thru it, the seams are coming apart, and when I removed the cushions to see what might be underneath, there was a hole in the fabric on the side of the furniture. The store has a lot of "fast talkers" who make all kinds of promises but never show up.
We spoke to at least 8 different employees, but none that ever resolved any of our problems.
I bought the furniture because I believed lazeboy had a good reputation, but had I checked the internet before going to purchase, I would have NEVER made the mistake of purchasing from them.
We took them to small claims court, and to this day do not understand how we lost. The "pictures" they took for "proof" of how good the furniture looked were printed on a black and white printer!! You couldn't see the flaws in those pictures. When they saw the pictures I took (color) it was as though they didn't believe they were looking at the same furniture. They kept asking when I took the pictures and then began saying things like, 'well you've had the furniture for 6 months.' Yet, we had been trying to get them to do something for 6 months!! The stall tactics they use and lies they tell are unbelievable. It buys them enough time so that your "warranty" is running out and they don't have to do anything. They were insinuating that we had somehow damaged the furniture ourselves!! Like I upholstered my own furniture!! And, of course, who doesn't spend over $3,000.00 to then put holes in their furniture??? To this day, NO ONE has sat on the furniture and the tags are still on the furniture. We spent $3200.00 for all the furniture and the owner of the store had the gall to stand in court and say to the judge, "we're not a high end store, we're like Homedepot." Well, Homedepot refunds money of unsatisfied customers!! So, there is a world of difference between Lazyboy and Homedepot.
Buyer Beware. The salespeople are taught to "fast talk" and they do not show you any warranty BEFORE you buy from them. Be careful to read EVERY line of paperwork they make you sign, and especially refuse to accept the order if it comes with flaws and other obvious problems. Once it's in your home they will do NOTHING to help you!!
We have purchased so many lazyboy products in the past, but they are no longer the same company. Their quality is at best that of a flea market, and the upholstery job looks like it's done by elementary school children learning upholstery.
Don't get ripped off like I did, be careful!!
I wish someone would file a class action lawsuit against them!! I'd be the first to sign up!!
