I'm 0/3 on successful deliveries.

First time I bought furniture I was the last stop, I was sleeping on a floor waiting for my bed...thats another story

This time, I bought an entire condo worth of furniture, roughly 10k worth of furniture. Its my first place, I saved up for 9 months, I wanted quality stuff.

They tell me when I bought it that two pieces would be delayed a month they were on backorder, no problem it was a hutch and a table and I bought two tables (one will be put in the expansion I'm buying, another story). They tell me its going to be a morning delivery when I order it so I said great, I'll be there.

Friday rolls around, they call me to tell me my bedroom set is on backorder. I lose my cool, first off they waited for the last minute to tell me. Also they decided to tell me I was the last stop, like hell, I ordered an entire home worth of furniture, there is no reason for that shit. I tell them to cancel my order ill take my money and my business somewhere else. The manager says let me call you back to confirm cancellation. Amazingly, they managed to find my bedroom set and suddenly the morning delivery spot was open. Go fucking figure.

They deliver my furniture but apparently a lamp (yea a lamp from a furniture store) was out of stock (please note there were about 25 of them at the store 2 weeks prior). Also, my end table, my coffee table, and one of my chairs were damaged in the delivery. They told me this when they got there before they left as I was asking, where is the rest of my shit? So they say I have to wait til May 15th. I go to the store raise hell and they suddenly can get all the stuff May 07th, today. They then call me the next week, the two pieces originally on backorder are now on backorder until June 10th. They then call the next day and tell me sorry, its June 19th now.

I've already paid half of it off and I had intended to pay the following half this month but fuck that. They called me today apparently my coffee table has been damaged, AGAIN. How the fuck does this company stay in business? I'm not waiting for a manager to call because I'm going to tell them to come pick up every fucking piece of furniture and give me a refund because I'm tired of dealing with this fucking bullshit.

End rant.

Don't back down this time, man. Get them to get their shit and leave. You really should go the Ikea route. I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them and have always been happy with the product and the prices. Later, QD.

I've had so many people give prop to Ikea so I'm going to have to check it out, I'll save a pretty penny also. This shit is getting redic, I mean I love this shit I picked out but I can't even unpack cause half my furniture isn't there.

Anyways, you gonna come check the place soon QD?!

Sorry to hear about this. When my dad moved into his new house last year, he ordered expensive furniture sets for like every room and they took forever, it was always delivered damaged..he had to send it back and get it redelivered. Took months to get everything right.

We had some issues with RoomToGo when we got our bedroom furniture. But they were pretty quick about fixing the issues. We got out living room furniture from Lazyboy and they were really good. You get it from the MallofGa location?

American Signature

They have good prices, but from dealing with their delivery people before I chose to just pick my stuff up and save some money. I just hate how pushy they are with their "protection plans." I bought a chaise to put in my bedroom for when I just want to sit back and relax. It was on sale for like $250 and the lady wanted to sale me the protection plan that was $100. Why would anyone pay almost half the cost of the product for what amounts to a warranty on a chair. I had to tell her no like 10 times.

As far as furniture places overall I am with you to a certain extent. When I bought my place I got all new furniture and opted for delivery and it sucks having to take damn near a week off work waiting for various pieces to get there. I have a few things in my house from Ikea and while they are not solid wood pieces they have withstood the test of time. I bought a lot of pillows, lamps, and small tables there. Things that are mainly for decoration and don't get heavy use. I'm thinking about heading back down there to buy a few more things.

I'm gonna need decorations once I get shit organized so I'm def gonna check Ikea, I won't deal with American Signature again, I'd rather pay an extra buck somewhere else for better service and some respect.

And QD, anytime you're free man you're always welcome.

I mean, quality of furniture, true or not, is irrelevant. I am good at business, its what I do, it is what I spent the last 8 years studying and participating in through my dads company, and it amazes me how poorly this company treats people and survives.
