Lazy Boy Customer Service offers little service at all
We have been buying Lazy Boy products for 38 years. 32 years we were happy to have made our purchases and he’d no problems with our couches or recliners. About 5 years ago we purchased a large re liner for $1,600 on sale ( $400 off regular price). 14 months after purchase we noticed a large tear in the fabric under the head cushion. We contacted Customer Service and after speaking to four different people they decide to send us a brand new chair back which include the cushion. We figured it was just a manufacturing flaw and were satisfied since they replaced the damaged part. A year ago we purchased a new Lazy Boy recliner for $1,300 at the Dover, NJ Lazy Boy Gallery. After having it for 9 months we noticed the head rest cushion was peeling off the color. We called the store and after hearing my complaint I was referred to Customer Service Agent #15. I explained the problem and she said my head and body oil was causing the leather to peel. I argued that we were faithful Lazy Boy customers for 38 years and never had this happen before and we only had the recliner for nine months. She responded by saying she would offer us a repair of our recliner for $189 plus tax. This would only include the replacement of the back with the head cushion. They did agree to replace the seat which was fading for no cost. Imagine paying to have such an expense after only using the recliner for under a year. We received our replacement parts via UPS and had to call Lazy Boy Customer Service to schedule a repair technician. It took an hour just to get off hold and speak to an agent. They scheduled our repair and said we would receive a call a day in advance for our repair. We got the call the evening prior and waited till the repair person called us today the service vehicle broke down which meant we would have to call Lazy Boy Customer Service again. My wife called and she was placed on hold for 2 hours and 10 minutes before she could speak to an agent. She was able to arrange for the repair technician to come and he arrived in the specified time frame. The leather finish is sprayed on and therefore the leather is no longer dyed. The spray finish reacts to anyone’s hair and body oil causing the finish to peel off. This will be the very last Lazy Boy product we ever buy. Apparently they do not care how good a customer nor how long you have bought their products. DO NOT EVER BUY LAZY BOY PRODUCTS. In addition Customer Service Agent # 15 has a bad attitude and should be relieved of her duties. Nasty attitude and seems to hate her job.
