Made the purchase on 02-3-2024, Power Recliner for$1049.99, Power Sofa with 2 Recliners for $1599.99. 5-year Protection Plan for $349.99. Also bought an accent chair for $549.99. These were sales prices. All was delivered on 02-10-2024. I bought covers for everything,since it was a beige coloring. My husband had picked the sofa and recliner, for they were powered. We were completely happy with the purchase. A little high price, but he wanted the power of pushing a button for having his feet up. He was 75 years old, and we wanted this luxury. Sadly, my husband died on March 23,2024. I took all of the covers off the furniture for I knew family and friends would be coming into our home. After 3 to 4 weeks, I noticed pilings, fuzzy lint on sofa. As time went on, it got worse looking. I went to Furniture Fair, in ********, where I had bought it, along with pictures of sofa, and recliner. Spoke with management, they seemed concerned. Phone calls back and forth, 2 young men, driving a delivery truck came and took pictures, and we discussed if it was shaved, what would it be like in another few months. I am not happy with this sofa and recliner, no one knew what the material was when I bought it. But, since then, we have decided its chenille. I was told it was a warranty issue, but no one has contacted me . I am 72 years old, thought we were buying our last furniture. Cushions are not removable. The 2 men who came out agreed with me, it would probably continue to pill. I told them I would like different furniture. Please help me get help from Furniture Fair. Thank you, *********************Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: They will take my furniture, if I pay a $282.00 cleaning fee. I am disappointed, for I bought over $3400.00. for 3 pieces of furniture, plus another $349.99 for a 5 year Protection on the sofa and recliner.
It's their brand of furniture, the material is piling. I paid $589.58 for accent chair, the day I bought the pieces, this left $3200.00 on a ***** Fargo card, no interest for 5 years. $3200.00- ****** = ******* balance. The ****** is what I have already paid.Sincerely,

We specifically requested new furniture but the manager ******************* sold us a furniture set that were all sales floor model. We discovered after the delivery that the chair was a sales floor model because of a stitch flaw. The arm of the chair was also almost completely detached. I called the store and was told *** would call me back; this never happened. I called back myself and *** did not care, did not apologize, and did nothing to resolve the issue. I could not get anyone at the store to confirm all of the pieces were sales floor models until a few months ago. This has been an ongoing issue for over a year. My husband received a payment for his medical disability from the Veterans Affairs. We used $3000-4000 of that payment to buy this furniture. We told the manager before the sale that my husband was 100% medically retired from the military. This adds a repulsive element, especially since this store is across the street from the military base. The furniture is supposed to recline and have the leg rest come up. Almost none of them do this properly. The service department has dealt with me so many times one of the employees said "wow. Still having issues? When are the going to replace your furniture?" I have been requesting since the beginning to have my furniture replaced or for my money back and this still has not happened.Business Response

I purchased a rocker/recliner from Furniture Fair on 5-28-2021 in North Carolina. At that time I purchased a 5 year protection plan (GBS protection plan). I was given a brochure with a phone number to call if I needed to get something replaced or repaired. When I found two tears in the rocker/Recliner I called GBS protection to file a claim. After many phone calls I was told that the chair could not be repaired so it will be replaced. The Furniture fair told me that the only way I could get a replacement was if I brought the chair to North Carolina where I purchased it at. I now live in ***** which is 10 hours away , so that is impossible. They told me that is the only way I can get the chair replaced. There was nothing in our contract or paperwork that stated that, and we were not told that by the saleswoman who sold it to us. If they would of told me that I would not of purchased the furniture.Business Response
