      Two year old upgraded, leather recliner is leaning to one side. When I sit in the recliner, I slide to the lower right corner. When you recline the chair, you can see that it tilts to the right. Watson's sent a repairman on 4/30/2024 and he couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with the chair but said there's a definite lean and he would talk to his supervisor and someone would call me. I haven't heard a word but they charged my credit card $158 for a service call of which I wasn't told about and would like a refund. I have called the service center and left messages, text, emailed and no one has responded. I called the store where I purchased the furniture and they told me they would email the service center and someone would contact me. No one has contacted me. This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable. At this point, I want the recliner replaced.

      We purchased a table and chairs from Watson's on 2/10/2024. We looked at a model that was on the floor (last one you take this table and chairs) and could not purchase extra chairs for it so we went with another model where we would get a new table and 6 chairs. The table was delivered and set up by Watson's on 2/20/2024. It is a game table, so they set up with the game table side up. My wife and I wanted to see how easy it was to change it to a dining table, so we turned it over. That is when we saw marks the nylon bumpers had made on the dining side after only being on the table frame for less than an hour. These marks would not wipe or wash off so I would like a new table top or a refund of $500 on the table I paid full price for a used table. The rest of my attempt to get a settlement through Watson's I put in the Word document since I ran out of characters. It is a log I kept.

      Purchased a $4000 recliner sectional in February of 2023. Furniture arrived in March. By October 2023, 2 out of the 3 recliners stopped working. Made a call to have the warranty that came with furniture to come look at couch. October 18, service came to my home. Was here for 10 mins said he would order parts and we would receive a phone call. 6 weeks go by and no phone call received. After multiple calls placed to Watson's service we were finally told parts were on back order and should arrive Dec 31. Call placed to service approx jan 13, again no one called us with an update, spoke with manager Anna who promised an update by the end of week. Even gave me her personal number. No phone call received again!!! After a call and left message, Anna finally reached out with the same update on Jan 31, that the order is on back order. It is now March 5 and no update. 5 months with a broken couch and no one seems to care. Even asked to give us a new couch. At this point I want my money back and they can take the couch back. I have never experienced such lack of communication with a company before. It has almost been broken longer than we were able to enjoy it. I will never purchase another item from them again!!

      We purchased a sectional 1/13/23, $3700. It has a total of 3 mechanical recliners. In October 2023, one of the motors went out. I called service and followed their requests for a video and pictures if the sectional and what was not working. I have sent follow up emails requesting updates with only a couple responses. I have called many times to speak with the service manager, Liz. I am always told she’s away from her desk and will call back with no calls received. I called the end of January and was told the motor was shipped and due to arrive on 1/31/24. I called 2/14/24 and was told it was on back order. I called again 2/22/24 and was promised a call back that day and nothing. We are at almost 5 months of not being able to fully use our furniture. They are not willing to return calls or communicate. We would like to just have the piece swapped out. I can’t even get an answer on that request. It’s beyond ridiculous and unprofessional. At this point, if they can’t fix it or communicate, we want our money back to go elsewhere.

      I purchased my Hot Tub Spa in 2021 at Watson's of Cincinnati, Since the purchase of the Spa it has leaked. More and more leakage over time. I had 4 (Four) Services Technician come to my house. on the 4Th final service call the service technician opened it up. (Turns out that was the same guy that came out first and broke the door - He repeated he would order a replacement - NEVER RECEIVED) The technician removed the panels and pull hard enough on the hose from the motor it broke off. He said there is your leaking problem. And, He said I will order you a replacement motor. Months went by and he finally returned. Taking him a few minutes and said that was fixed. Because it was snowing he said wait till it get warm enough outside and try to fill it. Well, today in February It was 59 degrees and we tried to fill the hot tube. Same problem (maybe worse) it leaked everywhere from the bottom just as it has done since I first purchased this defective product. I called again.and asked about just replacing the tube, I would pay more for a larger tub as long as it doesn't leak. The Manager said NO. I guess it would be a good time to talk about a loyal customer. In 2020 I purchased a top of the line Weber grill to be delivered. Without receiving any calls they shut down the deliveries due to Covid 19. They said it's ready to go just needs to be picked up. (Mission accomplished with some Marine buddies and a Retire Firefighter and a pick up truck.) Also, still wanting to do business with Watson's of Cincinnati and commissioned the building of a backyard Pool. Just prior to the work starting I began to wonder what if the same problems come with there service department. (I CANCELLED THE JOB) A remedy to this situation for me is to replace the non-functioning HOT Tub Spa and let me upgrade to a different model for the troubles I have had. Also, on a side note, the technician gave me his private number to call him "Outside" of Watsons for future service

      I purchased my Hot Tub Spa in 2021 at Watson's of Cincinnati, This was a big purchase for me as I am a disabled Police Veteran 30 years, Injured IN the Line of Duty and Forced Retirement due to those injuries of a Broken lower back and Replacement (2 Surgeries) of my left shoulder. (I THOUGHT I COULD GET THIS HOT TUB SPA TO RELIEVE SOME PAIN) 

      Since the purchase of the Spa it has leaked. More and more leakage over time.

      I had 4 (Four) Services Technician come to my house. upon arrival several weeks later In under 10 minutes they diagnosed that the Spa must have been over-filled. He did remove the front door cover and broke the bottom causing structural damage. He apologized and said he would order a door replacement.  (The door replacement never came after making several calls to their service desk.)

      Another service call was set up and this guy took less than 3 minutes and said you must have overfiled it and left.

      2 more times the service technician came out. 

      on the 4Th final service call the service technician opened it up. (Turns out that was the same guy that came out first and broke the door - He repeated he would order a replacement - NEVER RECEIVED)

      The technician removed the panels and pull hard enough on the hose from the motor it broke off. He said there is your leaking problem.  And, He said I will order you a replacement motor.

      Our commitment to customer satisfaction and efforts to resolve your concern remain paramount and we are working diligently to resolve your concerns in as prompt a manner as possible. We have taken the steps of bringing your hot tub in house to diagnose the issues causing the leaks and this can be time consuming. While we are working towards resolution, there has been no charges or fees assessed to you. We have maintained a clear line of communication and our ability to meet your pre-determined timeline is not feasibly possible. Watson's cannot offer you a new tub or a refund without doing our due diligence to identify the root cause of the issue. This may not line up with the timeline you have given us, however in an effort to be fully transparent we would hope this would demonstrate our willingness to work towards a resolution. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Thank you again, for allowing us the opportunity to resolve your concerns.

      We are currently working closely with our manufacturer to address the concerns you have raised. As mentioned previously, bringing your spa in house was in an effort to work on it without disrupting you. At this time we are waiting for the manufacturer to send us the pump that is necessary to finalize the repair/resolution process. I understand that you are demanding that either a replacement or a refund be offered and as I have mentioned on more than one occasion, Watson's must first attempt to repair before any other concessions can be made. That is a requirement of the manufacturer. We understand the importance of resolving this issue promptly and to your satisfaction. However we must allow the process to play out. We sincerely apologize this delay may have caused and assure you we are actively following up with the manufacturer every 48 hours and have requested the pump be expedited. Currently that is the most updated information I have. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter.

      The Hot Tub was picked up by Watson employees and returned to their store. I am no longer in possession of the defective unit.  I have been in contact with Wendy at Watson, and she was attempting to discover the condition of the defective unit.  I have not heard from her in 2 days.

      The only resolution I will except is Refund or Replacement.

      I purchased a hot tub summer of 2023. We have had intermittent issues with the hot tub terminating power. Upon initial servicing under warranty, the suggestion was made to replace the breaker first. This was done by an electrician. The hot tub continued to trip, so it was admitted by Derek at Watson’s that it must be an internal issue. He said the first bill received in Dec was zeroed out . We received a second bill in January and called Watson’s service department. A lady named lynette said she was informed this was a breaker problem, and we had to correct her and explained all of the numerous trips that have been made since confirming it was not a breaker issue. She said she would call us back on Monday, January 15 after she looks into it. We received no call back from anybody until February 2. Watson‘s service called about an outstanding bill. Here we are three months later still fighting about a bill that is covered under warranty. They refuse to call anybody at back to even investigate and just keep sending bills and calling after hours when no manager is available. I was told someone would be calling me back on Monday, February 5. Nobody called. We called Feb 6 and were told by Kelly that she would have to talk to a manager and Derek and look into it and call us back Thursday or Friday. she confirmed we still have an open ticket. As of current, we have a hot tub that has had its internal settings reprogrammed to think it is a different hot tub in order to correct the issue. That is terrible customer service. Not to mention, Derek was to reach out the first of the year to see about any further issues since he did modify the settings from what we bought. Still no reach out. This is pathetic.

      Visited Watson's Cincinnati location on 01/24/2024. Arrived fully anticipating to make a large purchase of Rec Room merchandise for our basement renovation. A sales associate by the name of Pat F****** initially made contact with us and offered to help us. We just wanted to browse and enjoy looking around initially so didn't need help right away. Noticed that Pat stalked us through the store after that and kept a close eye on us. Chalked it up as her wanting to make a sale but found it to be very intrusive on our experience. Finally arrived to the point we were ready to purchase and decided to give Pat the opportunity since she seemed so eager and following us since our arrival. That turned out to be a mistake! Everything after that went downhill. What could have and should have been a $15,000 sale turned in to Pat getting our credit frozen and flagged for fraud because she ran it so many times and made so many mistakes in doing so... Charging the wrong account multiple times and having to cancel / reverse charges. Totally disaster! We were willing to keep our $15,000 order in place but asked for a gesture to show that our time was valuable and business appreciated and was shot down by manager Mark telling us that he could offer nothing. A simple free delivery offer would have made us feel better about the 8 hour hassle we had experienced and was more than disappointed when Mark found no value in offering anything to compensate. From a business standpoint its hard for me to understand how a business can make so many mistakes along the way creating an 8 hour disaster for their customer resulting in multiple incorrect charges being posted / getting their credit frozen - to allowing their mistakes to go unaccounted for and letting a $15,000 sale walk out the door and miss the opportunity. Mark must get paid Salary because he had no incentive to correct the situation and keep the sale in house. Will be taking our business elsewhere.

      I purchased a new hot tub on 4/2/23. Hot tub was delivered damaged. Large holes in the sides, Pump making loud noise and low pressure, cover is the wrong size. Waited several months for parts to arrive. I was told i needed a credit card number on file for them to come repair these items , that was already damaged upon delivery. After arguing with them, they agreed to do it without as a courtesy. Sides and pump have been replaced but cover still to large and is very hard to latch. I have made several calls to the service department and never get any help. Always going to call me back and never calls. I spent almost 6500 on a new hot tub and think they brought me someones old returned junk.

      I purchased patio furniture from Watsons on July 20, 2023 for $18,773 total. Part of that purchase was a floor model fire table for $2,699. The fire table was delivered on September 4. We tried to light it that night and it didn't work. Watsons sent repair person, Justin, out on September 14. It worked at first then quit again. Justin came back on September 20. Again it lit but went out after a few minutes (no wind) and never lit again. During those weeks we have had guests over, and the fire table lights but goes out. It was very embarrassing, and our guests asked where we got the table and how much it cost. I called Watsons, who BTW never answers their phone, and now the soonest they can come out for the third time is October 23. We dont want to wait that long. Its not usable during the fall when we would really enjoy it. There is more to the story. After September 14, when it still didn't work, I went to the store to talk to someone about replacing it. I waited over 2 hours for help. Managers were called to the service department but never showed up. I never got to speak with someone with the authority to make a change. A service gal could only make another appointment for repair, which was the unsuccessful attempt on September 20. It's one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. My original salesperson just went from new customer to new customer while I waited for help, but never felt the need to assist me after I spent close to 20k with her. I would like the table replaced with a brand new table of the same model ****** ********* ******* ********, made in the USA) at no cost to me.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I was impressed with how quickly the BBB sent my complaint to Watsons, and how quickly Watsons contacted me to correct the situation. Gloria, the Service Manager, called me the same day, and was more than helpful and eager to make this right. She went out of her way to accommodate my request to have the fire pit replaced with a new model at no cost to me. Gloria kept in close touch with me every day, and I received the new fire pit in just two days! My husband and I are very pleased with the new fire pit....it works exceptionally well! Thank you, Gloria, for all the time you spent correcting this problem....and for your kindness in the process!

      Regards,

      My husband and I purchased Ashley Signature outdoor furniture on May 25, 2020 and additional matching pieces on June 9, 2020 because we loved it and wanted to add to our set. Unfortunately this furniture has been defective. Within 18 months of purchase we noticed the rattan wicker snapping in certain areas. We kept it covered every winter and in storage to protect it. We began a process with Watsons warranty department on April 17, 2023. I am filing a complaint because we have been unsuccessful in receiving a refund or store credit. We chose to shop at Watsons for our outdoor furniture, willing to pay more than other stores, knowing that Watsons sells quality products. Not only has it been disappointing with the quality of the product but with the quality of the customer service in the Warranty department. Please make this right Watsons.

      Hello,

      At this time we are working with the manufacturer to supply your request of a refund or store credit. At the time of submission of the warranty claim your merchandise was no longer covered under the warranty time period. The warranty coverage was a 12 month term. As a courtesy we have submitted this and are diligently working to get you credit as requested. As soon as a refund is initiated you will be notified via phone. Thank you.
