I purchased a Coaster Furniture Bar Unit grey driftwood black ****** on Amazon through a third party seller named ****************** LLC, that was delivered March 21st 2024. It comes with a 30 day return policy. The second box was delivered March 23rd. I couldn't assemble the bar until all pieces were delivered. I started to assemble it on April 20th but had to order a replacement part due to the pieces crumbling when you attach them to the parts and hardware. I reached out to Coastal Furniture regarding this issue and they referred me to ****************** LLC to get a replacement part. They sent me a replacement part which was delivered May 4th but the unit continued to crumble when other parts were attached. I had 2 people helping me put this unit together which weighs ***** pounds. The dimensions are 27.5D x 70.75W x 43H. The hardware is not strong enough to handle the weight of the materials. The materials are engineered wood, laminate, and metal. I have been in contact with with ********* Partners trying to return the unit and they are refusing to send me a prepaid label, or even a postage due label which will guarantee a refund once unit is delivered. It would cost me over $200 to return the unit myself. It is now June 28th and I am still going back and forth with ****************** LLC who sold me the unit through Coaster Furniture to return unit for a refund. All the reviews of this Bar unit are 2 out of 5 with the same issues...crumbling pieces and hardware not compatible. Returning unit is an issue as well. Coaster Furniture and ****************** LLC are well aware that this unit isn't worth the money they are charging and returning it is what they are making a hassle to do, so people just give up.Business response

I am a 78 year old woman lives on Social Security and was trying to help my disabled son by purchasing a secondhand electric recliner loveseat for him.I was extremely happy with the leather sofa I found at a *************** I bought it, paid for delivery and had it sent to My Son. After about three days the one side which he sets up quit reclining. My son reached out to coaster furniture and was given the usual that they dont guarantee anything he would have to go back to the store where this per item was purchased. Being that we are the second owner we have no idea how to do that. All were trying to do is to get the part number off of the loveseat and find out where we can order a replacement part and then we can get someone To fix it for him. There has to be a replacement part for this particular Recliner and I dont know why coaster cant give ** the opportunity to get it. I can pay for the part as long as it is not some Astronomical Amount. This furniture appears to be very good quality so I dont know why the company wouldnt stand behind it or at least make replacement parts available. Even Kenmore, ******, Sanyo,Etc. etc. make replacement parts available to consumers. I do not have the money to go out and buy another sofa for him and his daughter who he has raised alone since she was six years old. Please see what you can do. I appreciate all your help.Business response

Hello,
Coaster does not have a warranty with the end consumer. Our policy extends to the dealer/retailer that the consumer purchases from. Any warranty or coverage they may have for their product is contingent on the dealers policies agreed upon at the time of purchase. We do however attempt to resolve issues as a good faith effort whenever possible. If a piece is something we are able to resolve via parcel services we can do this directly with the consumer. In cases where we can't ship the item out small parcel service directly to the consumer we need to work with the retailer in order to find an agreeable resolution. We would be happy to look into our options but do need some more information from the consumer. We do apologize as we don't have any records of being contacted with our consumer support team. If you could please provide the information below we will check our options.

Hello,
Coaster does not have a warranty with the end consumer. The warranty detailed on our product and on our website both explicitly state that this warranty is solely to the retailer and not transferable. In our correspondence in this particular case we did inform the consumer of our policies and requested the proof of purchased to verify if the item is still within the warranty timeframe. Unfortunately the consumer was not able to provide the proof of purchased, Coaster had offered the consumer to purchase the part.
Coaster will proceed with an exception and place the part order.

I ordered a coaster home bar unit from Amazon . The unit came damaged and missing parts. It was advertised as a warehouse item but in like new condition with all peices in tact and no damage to the item except the outer packaging. The listing said any requests for replacement parts was to contact coaster as they offered services for replacements or missing parts as part of thier contract with Amazon.(even with warehouse) Amazon can do nothing about the replacement and offered only a refund if I return The item. A large heavy damaged box. I just want MISSING HARDWARE and the missing metal parts needed to build the bar. I even went as far to say I didn't care about the cracked front pannels bevause coaster said they don't offer those for replacement. They said I'd need a whole unit replacement but they refuse to give me one. Or send ant of the missing parts and that I need to contact Amazon. This company really frustrates me. I just need some **** screws maaaaaaan.Business response

Please check the entire correspondence here: **********************************************************XXXXXXXXX*********************** ***** we reached Coaster directly because we could not reach back to the company that sold us the furniture item. Initially coaster, give us some hope that they will replace it but after some point, they started completely ignoring our replies. You can see the entire conversation at the link above. Please let us know if you need any further information. At this time we had to re-purchase the same item at our own dime due to the lack of basic respect and response from this company, and any further guidance from them.Business response

If you read the conversation between Coaster and me, there is no mention of what they just responded with. They are completely changing their position at this time. They completely dropped the ball on this. I'd have expected they work with the reseller to help sort this out. But they failed there as well. They must honor the warranty. This is an unacceptable response.Initial Complaint

10/11/2022 Coaster Fine Furniture delivered an******* Dresser and Drawer Chest "white glove service" into our home (order#XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX, ******* *****/AMT XXXXXXXX/Coaster-XXXXXXX-XX/LD/(#XXXXX)). This new furniture was delivered with significant interior and exterior damage as was well documented by Coaster's delivery personnel as well as my immediate written notification and 24 photos to their eCommerce retailer ********************* Although Coaster's response to every *** complaint, "Coaster does not carry a warranty to the end consumer", Coaster is ultimately responsible and all communications with the e-commerce retailer claims department have been contingent on Coaster's response and limitations, "I will communicate this with Coaster and see what our options are." Coaster through ******** offered **** credit toward my ********* purchase for me to fix their damaged furniture. Coaster then offered through ******** replacement new furniture that "still runs a risk of arriving with issues" (new but arriving damaged is common with this company?). Lastly, they offered an immediate and full refund of my ********* conditioned on me fulfilling unobtainable requirements including the damaged furniture be donated and picked up.

After almost 2 months of reaching out to Coaster's intermediary ********, I am no closer to a resolution than when I started, and in fact no longer receive the flowery "I am here to help you" emails that have merely delayed the process and achieved nothing. What I want, is what any reasonable consumer wants, I paid for new furniture... please either deliver new furniture in an undamaged condition or pick up your damaged new furniture and issue me a full and immediate refund.Business response

The construction of the wood table and wood chairs is of poor quality. The chairs do not match up to the table, one arm hits the table top and the other arm is an inch or more lower than the top. The chair has 5 casters and rotates around the center column but is wobbly when you try to rotate. The table finish especially on the legs is not durable so that when the chairs are pushed in the chair legs scratch of the finish of the table legs. We have contacted ******* who is the manufacturer about this starting back in June 2022 and after many communications back and forth using the complaint process on their web site and as of August 2022 the last message from them has not produced resolution. Please see attached pictures of the problems.Business response

Purchased a Milan Modular sectional with ottoman for $**** in August 2018. Its just about 3 years and all the material has ripped off with cracks and patches of the faux leather coming out entirely. Also, the cushion is worn out in some areas to the extent that you can feel the wood hitting hard whenever you try to sit on the sectional. What are my options for fixing this very poor quality item!!Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2021/12/06) */ Hello, Coaster is a wholesale company that maintains a one year warranty from the time a piece is purchased from a certified retailer and it is non transferable to the end consumer. This warranty solely covers issues that are deemed to be manufacturer defects within that timeframe. We suggest you refer back to your retailer's policies to see if they have any form of coverage. Thank you
