  We just bought one of the most expensive expensive tempur pedic luxe breeze soft beds. I have a bad back, so I have to have softer bed, firm beds will not do any good with my back, and I can get documentation from my doctor about that. They do nothing but hurt my back, like lying on the floor all night long, or I might as well save my cash and sleep on my c*** sofa couch or just sleep on my c*** old 10 year mattress to be honest. But this tempur pedic is really not doing any justice. The only thing that does it justice is the base with the wonder massage functions. My husband and I work very demanding jobs, so I was under the impression, we only had 3 days to return the mattress with a $179 restocking fee so we can look for another mattress and keep our wonderful base. But I called the 1800 number and she claims we have to keep this c*** uncomfortable bed for 30days to try it out. Then we have to get a mattress equal or greater value. There is only one tempur pedic more expensive than the ***** luxe breeze mattress. That's the pro luxe. Which comes in a medium or harder. I remember sitting on all the medium and firm tempurs and I was like no way, how do humans do it. But people must or they would not sell them. But anyways, so we have looked into other beds, found other beds we may want, and if possible in place of that just give us a refund back. Besides first day we got our side items, our white sheet we got, ripped. I'm going to have to see that but at this point, walker just about makes me upset. Expensive pillows and extras...only in it for the $$. We had to go back after our crazy work week on Tues night because I got an email stating we were negative on the home design card (Walker card) through synchrony). I spoke with synchrony, and they had told me they are coded charges by Walker. It was a 2% promo fee for just having a 0% interest rate for 3yrs. ****** was offering 0% for 5yrs. No one told us about that. So it caused us negatively.

  After multiple visits to our store customer chose this ********************** and base.  Please see attached mattress checklist signed by customer explaining Comfort Exchange policies and related fees.  Per our policy, customer must have ********************** for at least 30 days up to 90 days for and equal or greater value, with a fee of $179.99.  The fee is for handling.

  I see no mention of a tear in the protector in our files.  If this was delivered damaged, we will gladly exchange it for the customer.

  the 2% fee was initiated by *************** not Walker Furniture, for all of their accounts, Nationwide.  We did refund customer the amount of the fees, $132.20.

  Please see attached signed mattress checklist and notes of refund.

  Today, 4/23/24 I refused Walker chair delivered by driver ****, which he took back to store.However *********************** claimed to cancel order# ******* after MULTIPLE run around attempts.Store is stalling on processing cancellation AND delaying informing Snap Finance to cancel $649.16 contract. Spare ***************** elsewhere.

  Business response

  04/24/2024

  Customer refused chair upon delivery the morning of 4/23/2024.  The order was financed through Snap, one of our financing options.  Typically, no action is performed until the driver returns back to the warehouse with refused goods.  This refund was processed within an hour or two after refusal due to the situation becoming escalated, without cause.  At no point was there any attempt to prolong this transaction, in fact, it was done before our warehouse received good back. Here is a copy of an email from our finance manager:

  Just an FYI
  We dont even send to SNAP until after delivery.
  If it wasnt delivered then she has no bill with SNAP for the chair.
  Nothing for us to cancel, she would only be charged for what delivered.

  That said, she was refunded her entire bill, including delivery, and Snap was contacted to cancel the contract.  All was processed in a very timely manner and her contract was canceled before complaint was received.

The delivery was rushed & nonprofessional, while one is working inside the house setting up the furnitures the other carried big furniture by him self trying to enter the house caused damages to the entrances, sometimes he carried several furnitures by himself, we couldn't keep up with their rush work while we were watching the assembly from inside of the house. Once we found damages caused by their rush delivery work from the outside of the house. We sent Walker furniture sales representative photos of damages & requested repair on 3/30/24. 4/5/24 sent request for repair to ****************************** manager with the quote of repair after Spectrum maintenance inspected the damages caused by Walker furniture delivery on 3/29/24. 4/11/24 we sent request for repair info. to ************************************* and email request on the company website with no responses.We have purchased a good amount of furnitures from Walker furniture, some delivery were excellent but this one is nonprofessional and caused damages to our entrances.Please see the attached documents and photos of damages caused by the delivery on 3/29/24.We request Walker furniture contact Spectrum maintaince to schedule the repair ASAP.Further complaints could be filed if this is not resolved.

  I spoke to ****** Tuesday, 4/23/2024.  I asked for all emails sent to us.  One was a quote from Spectrum Maintenance for $350.00.  After our conversation I contacted our offices and discovered we had not responded to any of her emails sent to us.  I asked our Dispatch and ************* offices to ask them to please contact her, only to find out later they gave her information to the contracted delivery company used that day for her delivery.  A representative from 5 Star contacted her and offered her $150.00, which she declined.  

  I have spoken to ****** several times the past few days.  Walker Furniture is contacting Spectrum Maintenance to arrange the repairs to her home.  We will be paying them directly.  ****** and her husband wish to be present for repairs, so we are coordinating with them.  

  She is also asking for compensation for her time, frustration, and lack of follow-through on our part.  She agreed to allow us to get repairs done to their satisfaction and discuss compensation at that time.

  Repairs have been completed and contractor paid by us.  Repairs were to ******'s satisfaction.

  Purchased a tables and chairs set for 1500$ and the tables and chairs keep falling apart for no reason. Screws falling off and unable to secure back on the equipment causing it to be a hazard for myself and children with falling parts coming off. When I reached out several times to the walker furniture company I purchased it from while it was still under warranty they r fuses to give a replacement or refund and kept sending me the contract. This is fraud that they are s long scamming people into buying overpriced furniture that is faulty and can cause physical danger due to the falling parts and injury that can occur from it. In addition they ignore your requests to get any tech out to further fix the purchase and or replace or refund you the money. A tech was sent out onc only and replaced the screws which continue to fall off still causing bodily harm.

  On *****-2023 I went to the Walkers location on ******************* there I was approached by ******* (who might add followed me around the store as if i was going to steal a couch), but I told him several times when I find what I am looking for I would let him know. Being that he was the only one working the floor when I found what I wanted I let him know. so there was a grey sectional with a grey ottoman. I told ******* this is the one I wanted. Now he told me that it was a set, he measured the set with me so i could make sure it would fit, he showed me how ottoman looked on each side of the couch and it was sold. I asked him how much for the set and he told me it was ******* asked him if this was for everything and he told me yes (now I assume that since there was no price tag on the ottoman he thought it was a set as well and i have a video that shows ) but nevertheless he rang it up. Now when I went on Saturday 06-10-2023 when I came to pick up the furniture, I said to him Oh my you are charging for the ottoman now, he said um yea its 498 or something I'm like this was not here Monday he said idk but its on sale, I went to get the manager she never came to talk to me (the manager that was there on *****) another person had to help me. I explained to her that this was not sold that way this was Bait and Switch and illegal. they did not honor the video that I had and knowing that this was not disclosed in the conversation. I told **************** know that he wanted the sell but being a sales person has to come with some kind of honesty, If the ottoman was not included why was this not disclosed when he told me the total to finance for the set. he told me to finance the **** to get the set but if the ottoman was not included A. Why wouldn't the sales rep say that and B. Why didn't the ottoman have a price tag on it when I looked at the set. Not only did I measure it go home check the measurement and came back. In return I had to pay for the ottoman. Bait and Switch..

  Business response

  06/14/2023

  I spoke to the manager of our WOW store who assisted with these transactions.  The set she bought is a 3-piece sectional, and the ottoman is sold separately.  2 transactions were written, she was given a substantial discount on the ottoman for the confusion.  She was overheard saying she wanted the ottoman for free, but accepted the discount, and paid for the additional piece.  Unable to attach invoices, but she did pay for both separately, orders ******* and ******* for the ottoman.

  Purchased a recliner 12/06/2019 for $598.99 with an extended warranty for $79.99. ON 11/23/2020 (before my one year warranty was to expire) I wrote to them and told the company a s**** came out and asked if they could fix it. They said they wouldn't drive outside the city limits to look it over for repairs. I asked if I could drop it off at their warehouse they said no. They asked for photos so I emailed them the photos. I never received a response, so I called again in July 2022, they said they don't know why the original claim was not answered, they gave me a new claim number and asked for photos again. I emailed them new photos with more damage to chair due to original s**** missing not fixable without new parts. Again they never responded, so in September I emailed again. My wife end up calling them asking what's going on with the claim & latest email, they said they would send someone out to look over damage. In December (?) a man finally came out but without even moving the chair said he knew what part was needed and left. I never heard back from them since. My wife called again in April 2023, and they said they would look into it. I am still waiting! It's been 4 years now to get my chair replaced or fixed. Walker Furniture should have notified me before buying, they would not come to our house if outside their city limits (40 miles out) and I could not drop off for repairs. We are stuck with a warranty I paid for that will never be used and a broken chair in storage. I will never purchase from them again and would like them to notify me personally and get my chair out of storage and fix/replaced without waiting another 4 years.

I left a message for him to call me back, and was just informed a manager from Furniture Care also left him a message. We are hoping to have a resolution that will satisfy ******************** within the next few days.

  Customer took delivery on July4, 2022 and called in that the fabric on the seat casings was fraying on July 18, 2022.  We inspected the items and ordered parts to replace what was fraying.  We quote an ETA for parts at **** weeks, de do not give a 2 week window. The vendor did not respond in a timely manner so we requested credit from them.  We put a return for store credit on November 16, 2022 for customer to reselect.  We have not yet heard back from the vendor on the credit we have requested, since July.  I do show an open order for new items.  we offered a refund of $300.00 for them to keep, or they may reselect.  We would be happy to extend the credit for them for another month, but we are seeing they have chosen other items.  

  We are unable to refund them, and have given them multiple options.

  My complain is against Walker Furniture at ****************************************************. I tried attaching photos but it wont accept even one of them. I sent them to you in a separate email.In Sept 2021 we bought (2) outdoor faux wicker chaise lounge chairs and some other items. We purchased the extended warranty on all the items. On May 30, 2022 we took the chairs from being stored inside our home and set them outside because our pool has just been completed the week prior. Halloween weekend we notice the chairs were literally falling apart when we sat on them to carve pumpkins. I called Walker Furniture to file a claim on our extended warranty a few days later and was asked to send photos, which I did. Today, I received a call from a Walker rep and she said claim denied because its been over one year, and the damage wasnt caused by us, or blood stains, pet stains, water/liquid spillage etc. What is the point in buying an extended warranty if it doesnt cover falling apart? Clearly the quality is substandard if they are falling apart after barely one year has passed since purchased. My husband and I are not overweight people, and the chairs were not misused in any way. They were sat on MAYBE 3 times all summer! Ive read a lot of the complaints against this company on the BBB website, and they are all very similar. Walker does not stand behind their products or their customers, post sale. I tried getting another issue resolved on an item we bought at the same time and to this day, they have not returned any of my calls. I sent them video as requested of the item and that was the last time we communicated about the umbrella. That was in May 2022. We ended up just selling the $750.00 umbrella for $200.00. It also was below standard in quality. They dont sell that umbrella any longer either! I wonder why? I want my two chairs replaced. I sure hope the BBB can hold this terrible company accountable for selling substandard furniture and stand by their customers when something happens to their products! If you need any other info, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help

  ******************** took delivery on 9/11/2021.  we exchanged the umbrella on 9/14/2021 due to dirt marks.  She called on 7/6/2022 stating the umbrella was not assembled correctly because when breezy or windy it blows over.  We sent a service technician on 7/8/2022 who found it to be assembled correctly and nothing wrong.  She said it was because there was no wind that day.  Tech told her the umbrella should not be left open when it is windy because it can tip over.  She contacted Furniture Care Protection, the accidental claim policy she purchased, about the wicker chaise lounges were cracking. There were multiple areas on both chaise lounges where the wicker was cracking. The claim was denied due to what is called "accumulation", damages accumulated over time.  She was notified of the denial on 11/22/2022.
  Because she was out of her manufacturer's one year warranty, we were unable to assist her at the store level with her Chaise lounges.  We did receive her video and have notes stating that.  There was nothing wrong with the umbrella for us bring to the vendor to warrant it defective.  The ********* climate is hot and windy, and wind will blow an umbrella on a stand over.  I am attaching pictures of the umbrella open and stable, as well as the damages to chaise lounges.

  I disagree with what walker furniture had to say.  I never told them the umbrella blew over because it didn't.   When a breeze came up, not wind, a breeze,  the umbrella didn't stay locked into position and it would just whatever direction it wanted to go.  Video was sent as proof.   I never heard back from them.  Not even to acknowledge the video was received.   2nd, the lounge chairs.  I don't see any type if settlement offered to resolve the issue of them literally falling apart 13 mo. After purchase.   How are we to tell they are falling apart if we barely used/sat on them?  Why does the extended warranty not cover poor quality!

  Business response

  11/28/2022

  Here are notes from service we performed:

  Per technician he did not find anything wrong with umbrella however customer says when the wind is blowing that's when it happens and that they are not to be opened in the wind. Customer states she would take a video and send. She did send a video, and as stated above the umbrella is not intended for windy weather.

  Because she was out of her one-year manufacturer's warranty she had to go through Furniture Care.   They denied the claim due to what is considered accumulation over time. This is a Furniture Care matter, best I can do is to reach out to them to see if they would reconsider.

  Complaint: 18453143
  
  I am rejecting this response because: my main issue is the lounge chairs falling apart 13 months after purchase, and only 5 months of actually being placed outdoors and sat on a maximum of 3 times. Walker Furniture needs to standby the products they are selling to the public and stop hiding behind the lame excuses and warranties they push during the sales process.   An added note, the umbrella was never used on a "windy" day!  A slight breeze caused it to become unlocked from its current position and go whatever direction it wanted!  They don't even sell the umbrella in their store anymore.   Gee, I wonder why?

  I want my 2 lounge chairs replaced.   It's simply the right thing to do!

  In late January 2019, my wife and I bought a $1200 hybrid mattress from Walker Furniture. They said the mattress had a 10 year warranty and was made in America. The mattress was a little more money than we expected to spend but the salesman said that as long we used a modern box- spring we could use that and save money that way. So we bought the mattress(Manufacturer ******* Mattress, model ***********, Manufacture date 12-03-2018). When they delivered the mattress the delivery driver said the box-spring was okay. Then in October 2021 the mattress had indentions in the mattress making it extremely uncomfortable and causing back pain. We complained to Walker in November 2021. They sent a representative out and inspected the mattress 2 weeks later and they said it needed to be switched out and approved it. They said that it would take a few weeks because they had to go through the manufacturer. End of December still didn't hear anything so my wife(****** *******) called Walker and they apologized for the delay but they said the model was discontinued and that made it more complicated and they had to wait on the manufacturer. About 10days later ******* Mattress sent another person out and inspected the mattress and said that the foundation was not good enough and would not replace the mattress. This was shocking because the other inspector approved it. From what we could tell, Walker tried to help but ******* would not cooperate. Though Walker should not have said we could use our box-spring.

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/01/13) */ I spoke to Mrs. ******* first, offering a store credit for the mattress they purchased, even though it was denied by vendor. I explained to her we have reached out to ******* Mattresses, asking for them to call them and to please make this right. We sent all necessary documentation to *******, they told Mrs. ******* we did not. Mrs. ******* explained that ******* Mattress offered for them to choose a new mattress by going on their website and make selection. I asked if they felt comfortable with selecting from a website, she said not entirely. I told her my offer still stood and to please discuss with her husband. I spoke to Mr. ******* next, he first thanked me for reaching out to his wife. He told me they will try to work with ******* Mattress and make a selection. I explained if they could not come up with a mutual decision, my offer would still stand. I also explained it they chose to reselect through ******* mattress, any future claims would go directly through them. Consumer Response /* (2000, 7, 2022/01/15) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) We just wanted a decent mattress that last awhile.
