Buyer beware...of poor customer service…
I need to post this somewhere to warn others: I have always loved shopping at Homemakers Furniture and have purchased many items there. Last summer I purchase two custom-covered Flexsteel brand chairs, figuring they would be a great investment. Of course, Homemakers clerks were more than happy to write up my order. When the chairs arrived, the brushed suede fabric on both was damaged. One chair had a small hole in the fabric and numerous "bruises," and the other had permanent streaks or scratches. I've had this type of fabric before, and it's very clear what marks can just be brushed out, and which ones are permanent damage. I immediately took photos and sent them to customer service, figuring Homemakers' "excellent" service would extend to this situation. No dice. From the start, there was never an apology, just resistance. They agreed to replace ONE of the chairs but have provided no updates on when it might arrive. Note that when the chair came out of the truck, they were wrapped in a thin plastic that was stapled with giant staples to the actual underside of the chair. It took me half an hour just to remove them. But the thin plastic clearly did not protect the chairs in the truck. I'm very upset with Homemakers and their EXTREMELY disappointing customer service. Buyer beware! I will post this story wherever I can.

Hi, Betsy we’re sorry to hear about your experience, this is definitely not the Homemaker’s standard. I have forwarded your information to our sales management team who looked at the photos of the chair that is not being exchanged, stating it was the nature of the velvet fabric and it looks like the exchange special order chair came in 8/28/2024 and a message was left. I see it is scheduled for our dleivery team to exchange this out for you on 9-10-2024. We can definitley look further into this and schedule a service technician to come out and inspect the chair that was not set for exchange. In the meantime, if you have any additional details that you’d like us to be aware of or can help with, please email us at [email protected]. Thank you and my apologies again!
