I purchased a bedroom set online from this location back in February. When it was delivered, the headboard arrived damaged. The delivery team noticed it first and assured me that it would be replaced within a week. That replacement never happened. Since then, I’ve consistently made my payments on time. I currently have four items from this store: a living room set, a dining table, and a king-size bed that came with one nightstand and a chest dresser. However, due to a recent financial hardship, I wasn’t able to make the full payment scheduled for June 15. I reached out proactively and spoke with the store manager, Ricco, and we agreed I’d put down $100 instead. My monthly payment is $160, typically paid in biweekly installments. On June 11, I discovered a new issue—the slats and stands on my bed broke during use. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the slats hadn’t even been screwed in properly. I contacted the store right away and was told someone would be sent to fix it. That didn’t happen. Three service appointments were set, and no one showed up for any of them. While Ricco was on vacation, I spoke with the assistant manager who said there was a replacement bed available and it could be delivered Thursday at 1pm. Thursday came—no delivery. I called the store and spoke to Ricco directly. He claimed there were no beds available and that I couldn’t get a replacement because I was behind on payments by a week. That was frustrating because I’ve been dealing with an unresolved damaged headboard for months—and I’ve made every good-faith effort to stay current. I explained to Ricco that I didn’t have a payment that day but I was working on it. He pushed me to give a date, but I couldn’t provide one without knowing for sure—I believe in being honest and not making false promises. His response? He became rude, cut me off mid-sentence, and hung up on me. Later, he told me the furniture could be picked up if I couldn’t commit to a payment date. I reached out to corporate headquarters, and they said someone would call the store and get back to me. That follow-up never happened. And now? My bed is still broken, and I can’t even sleep on it.
