I never write reviews specially to bad talk a company as I am a business owner myself but my situation with El Dorado is abnormal. I bought all my office furniture including my office chair from ************************* because I felt and was told that quality and service was worth every ***** spent. Well that was not the case. The chair for my desk broke and almost broke my arm within less than 1 year of owning it but at least I bought the ADDITIONAL insurance so I should be covered right! NOT. The "tech" a third party came out to see the chair and apparently told El Dorado what parts to order, which they did after a week or so but here is the catch. The piece needed was coming from overseas so I would need to wait 3-4 months for the piece to come in so I could actually use my $900.00 chair. You would think at that price point someone would've just said lets swap out the chair as this is for a business and it makes no sense specially since it broke before the year. Apparently that didn't catch anyone's attention. So here we are 4 months later and guess what? The "tech" ordered the wrong piece and now customer service is throwing the blame at the third party and of course I DONT HAVE A CHAIR. I wish this would've been handled properly as that's why I purchased furniture from El Dorado.Business response

Customer received the delivery of the chair on 10/27/2022. Customer has no manufacturers warranty with El Dorado Furniture since 10/27/2023.Customers open a claim with the Protection plan on 03/06/2024 reporting that he had broken the desk chair. 03/12/24 he received the visit of a technician, and a Part approval was received from the insurance on 04/03/24.Part was delivered to the customer on 08/16/2024 and customer has not contacted the protection plan to get the part installed. As a courtesy, I informed the protection plan the part had arrived and to contact the customer to schedule installation.Customer response

Complaint: 22171477
I am rejecting this response because:El Dorado admits that they in fact sell a warranty that they have no control over. When I was sold this warranty I was told replacement of items/repair for up to 3 years. El Dorado also admits that it is standard procedure for a customer to wait 5 months for parts but again they have no control of warranty service practices. As in my case incorrect parts were ordered.
I think replacement parts should arrive within an understandable time frame. I would like a replacement chair , if El Dorado may not produce a new chair then there will be no satisfaction on my end.
Ive been out of a chair for 6 months, communication between El Dorado and warranty service is none existent, El dorado provided warranty company an address that I have not lived in for the last 6 years so I had to fix that multiple times and at this point Ive lost so much time on something that could have been easily resolved.

I purchased a rug from El Dorado in ************* on June 8th, I purchased this rug at the store with a sales representative. The rug arrived at my house on June 12th, the rug was delivered wrapped so I could not confirm that there weren't any defects. Once I opened the rug I saw there was a stain in the rug. I've been calling el Dorado but apparently my sales representative is on vacation and the manager at the store has been too busy to call me back. I also called corporate. The only thing the customer service representative have been telling me is that I should have reported the stain within 5 days, but the sales representative who sold me the rug never informed me of this so I had no idea I had a 5 day grace ******* I needed to wait for someone who come help me open the rug because it's heavy and I couldn't do it alone. I have been misinformed and I have a damaged/stained rug which I paid a lot of money for. All I'd like done is to have the rug replaced. It rains a lot in ******* and I belive the stain is from the rain.Initial Complaint

Good morning,On August 15, 2021, we bought a grey sectional couch at EL Dorado Furniture store in the **************, ******* location. We also bought the warranty service offered by ******* Services. Four weeks ago, one of our sectional pieces broke. It has detached itself from the remaining sectionals. ******* Services sent out a person four weeks ago to look at it. The man said that it was broken. He said EL Dorado needs to pay to fix the sectional or replace it with a new piece. All the papers were submitted to EL Dorado 4 weeks ago. No one has called us back from either ******* Services or El Dorado. We are still under warranty. I'm very disappointed with El Dorado. We have always shopped there and have spent over $20,000 in furniture. I have included the bill of sale and the warranty from ******* Services. Please help us resolve this problem. Thank you for all your attention.*********************Business response

I purchased two brand new chests from El Dorado Furniture (order #*******ZHID), however I received two defective items. I had two wait for two different technichians to show up to my home two different times and on two different dates to confirm only that the chests are in fact defective. A lot of my time has been wasted because of this inconvinence. Upon receipt of both chests and while inspecting them drawers where functioning properly (empty drawers), however after putting my cloths into both chests, the drawers started to get stuck and were not operable as suppose to. I was unable to get access to my clothes until techicians showed up to inspect. Also, I had to return and replace one of the chests at inception because of a huge scratch it had on the side. El Dorado is selling damaged and defective items to its customers and that is not right or ethicle.Business response

We purchased a power leather sofa and loveseat on 6/13/2023. One of the recliners on the sofa quit working on 11/20/2023. We contacted El Dorado Furniture and they sent out a repair technician on 11/27/2023 to diagnose the problem with the sofa reclining issue. The technician said that the problem was a defective switch on the side of the sofa and that a part would have to be ordered and he didnt have a time frame for the part to arrive. We were informed by El Dorado ******************* that it would take between 8-12 weeks for the part that we need to arrive. We were informed that the parts had arrived on 2/26/2024 and that the repair technician would be calling to schedule a date to install the parts. The repair technician scheduled our repair date for 3/16/2024. The repair technician arrived on 3/16/2024 at approximately 10:30 am. The technician accessed the wiring harness on the sofa and found that the replacement switch wiring connector was not compatible with the wiring harness as the connectors would not connect. The repair technician put the sofa back together and said he would have to contact El Dorado warranty Department on Monday to see what they intend to do? I contacted El Dorado ******************* on Monday 3/18/2024 to see what they were going to do and I was told that they were waiting on the repair technician's notes about the repair to figure out what to do and they would be in contact with us in a few days. I feel that this whole warranty repair procedure has been a completely unacceptable. We should not have to be without a correctly operating sofa for almost 4 months. We would like to have our current sofa repaired or replaced within a timely manner which can not be another 4 months. We are very unhappy with how this has been handled by El DoradoBusiness response

My husband and I purchased $7,000 worth of furniture on August 29, 2023. When the furniture was delivered the delivery department damaged the bed railing. I have been lied to continually over and over by sales people, managers and the delivery department as to when they would fix and replace the railing. I have called thier corporate office and they refer me.back to the ********** store who continues to lie to us. We just want the bed rail replaced and hope that the material will match the existing bed. This company is absolutely horrible to deal with and once they got your money they could care less about you. Terrible experience from especially the management that lies to you over and overBusiness response

On August 23rd, 2023 customer bought a Floor Sample Bed and scheduled delivery with FLS driver for August 30th, 2023.
On the date of the delivery, customer called to reports that the right side facing side rail arrived with a stain, as a courtesy we placed an order from the vendor (since it was a floor sample) sold as is, no warranty, no exchange, customer stated that it was not like that on the floor the day that he saw it, with that being said a part order was open and ordered.
Customer was aware of the *** and agreed to wait for it, however side rail arrived end of February 2024, service# *******VW78, was scheduled for March 13rd, 2024 as per customer request, once the Floor Sample driver arrived to the customer and went to assemble the rail, notice that the wrong side of the rail it was sent by the vendor.
At that point customer refused to wait for another 6 months for a part and request either re-selection or exchange.
Today March 16th, customer came to the Store to inspect and check the bed on the floor and decided to get the same bed and a pick up document was created along with another order to be delivery and pick up on Wednesday March 27th, 2024.
Customer was agreed and satisfied with the solution, and now is pending until we delivery and pick up the bed.Initial Complaint

Ordered new couch, delivered damaged couch. Promised via email a replacement couch, was delivered the same couch with a bad repair/paint job. Fully assembled and sat for almost a week in warehouse, the couch feet(?) are also now damaged. Provided pictures and details to El Dorado operations leader and ecommerce manager and they want a video now. This all makes no sense, if they are replacing a couch wouldn't they know they don't have a missing couch from inventory?Business response

I am rejecting this response because:Its not fair. Their delivery driver damaged my hallway walls and nothing has been done. ****** took photos said theyll fix it, I asked when and he said sorry no English weird.
Also why should I wait so long to receive MY money back after El Dorado failed to do anything promised?
The rude and nasty treatment from their staff (if you need names and time of calls I can provide) with the exception of ********************* has been like salt in the wound.
Still no response from management, *** left voicemails and sent emails.
Still getting rude calls from their customer service staff, ***************************** and Micarly ******* in particular.
I have given up on getting what I purchased I want a FULL REFUND threats of a restocking fee after inspection is inappropriate considering theyve tried delivering two damaged couches, where was their inspection then?

We are being lied to and scammed by El Dorado Furniture.We bought dining chairs from El Dorado Furniture via their website (order # *******UMEZ). The chairs included a 1 yr warranty against manufacturers defects. The chairs started peeling after about 10 months. We contacted El Dorado to have a repair or replacement done. They refused to honor their warranty & claimed peeling was not due to manufacturers defect without even inspecting them. Two months after our initial filling they finally sent an inspector. The inspector told me (in person) that the peeling was due to a manufacturers defect & they would need to be replaced. (This was recorded on my security camera.) For the next 3 weeks I kept calling & emailing El Dorado to find out when the replacement chairs would be ordered. They kept being evasive & saying they were waiting on the report from the inspector. Today we received an email today saying the inspector (lied to us) said it is not a manufacturer defect & that they would not replace the chairs. It is clear that El Dorado has no intention of honoring their warranty & has been deceitful & playing a game of continuous delays. I want a full refund of the ***************** fee. I do not want to business with such a dishonest company.Business response

We already explained to the customer on another ******************** complaint that peeling is not a manufacturer's defect. We have the technician report where it stated this information.Customer response

Complaint: 21400480
I am rejecting this response because: Firstly, they claimed it was not a manufacturer defect BEFORE they even inspected the chairs! When they did finally send a technician, he acknowledged to me (in person) that it was manufacturers defect. We have done nothing to damage the (4) chairs that are peeling. The chairs were less than a yr old before they started peeling. We have neighbors that have the same chairs from El Dorado & have the same issue of peeling chairs. EL Dorado is infamous for not honoring their warranty when seating furniture peels & instead blaming the customer. There are large number of complaints about El Dorado doing this to other customers.

Complaint: 21400480
I am rejecting this response because: the technician told me in person it was manufacturers defect & that the chairs need to be replaced. All 4 chairs are peeling the same way along the seams. We know of numerous other people that have the same issue with the furniture they purchased from El Dorado. They denied our claim using that reason before they ever inspected it. They are not acting in good faith & do not honor their warranty.

We do not have that information on paper. The technician report said clearly it was not a manufacturer's defect. Our warranty states that peeling is not covered.Customer response
04/03/2024
Complaint: 21400480
I am rejecting this response because: The warranty exclusions do not specify peeling as an exclusion. A veneer split is when the (veneer) fabric separates from the furniture itself. The leather chairs are all cracking & peeling without any separation from the actual chair.

I visited the ************** store on Sunday 1/21/2024 to furnish an investment home in *****.and one the sales representative (*************************) kindly helped me. I spent about $21k ion bedroom sets and mattresses and also adding white glove service delivery to the order (not knowing what out of state really meant in this case) and that it was done by a third party)i received several calls tbereafter starting on Monday 1/22/2024 from Erly and ******* from Funxion ******************* LLC. They requested to confirm a delivery date (I wanted delivery asap at first) and they offered either to pick up on Friday 1/26/2024 or 2 weeks thereafter so I indicated to hold off until I closed on my new home on 1/26/2024 and found a good date for all the items to be delivered. On 1/23/2024, I received several calls from both **** and ******* from Funxion to rush the delivery and I told them I WOULD CALL THEM BACK AND CONFIRM DELIVERY DATE. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE DELIVERY YET. I was very specific both to Erly and ******* from Funxion (I have all the phone records to document this). However. i came to find out on Sunday 1/28 and Monday 1/29 when I came back to the store after not being able to resolver over the phone for a partial return (mattresses only) that the merchandise had already been picked by Funxion and that I would need to wait for the return from Funxion to El Dorado to be able to be refunded on my credit card. I requested to speak to a manager or supervisor on Monday 1/29/2024 (***********************) but she indicated I would be responsable for the entire white glove service delivery ($2,820) on top of 7% restocking fee.since Funxion had already picked up from their warehouse. At this stage of my purchase, I concluded that their sales techniques were misleading,and fraudulent and had decided to return all items (including bedrooms sets). I am requesting a full refund to my credit card. I will seek legal action if El Dorado (your company) does not agree to a full refund.Business response

Less than one year ago I paid over $2400 from a couch from El Dorado furniture. Within a few days the chaise cushion began to seep. The technician who looked at it said this happened because I was overweight to make his job easier, even though I am not. Within five months, the replacement began to rip open at the seams. When I filed the claim I was told based on the photographs they could not replace it because the damage was my fault. They provided no evidence or explanation on how it was my fault. Just that the information that they had, photographs, and the report, proved that I was responsible. To prove it, they sent me photographs The technician took when he dropped off the cushion, and as you can see from below, I circled where you can see the seems are actually weak and ripe for coming apart. When I sent this to them, they refuse to acknowledge it, sticking to their original story. Being that Im moving out of state, I cannot even *** them. This is blatant discrimination and if you get a copy of the report and look at the photographs, you will see it. The woman in charge of the situation is *********************Business response
