Ordered a full leather sectional and was told that if I got the additional insurance it would cover unlimited repairs to pet damage. I paid in full on credit card $5375.16. Including the warranty and delivery. I only left the store with the receipt. A few days later I received the contract from the insurance stating that only one incident per piece of furniture was covered for 3 years. I called the store immediately and spoke to the manager I told him I wanted to return the furniture . He said he needed to speak to his boss and contacted me a few days later. He stated there was absolutely nothing he could do for me. Not even refund the insurance. I wouldn't have even considered a full leather piece unless I had a warranty on it. I am very disappointed at the loss of money and misinformation that i was givenBusiness response

I am writing in response to the recent complaint filed by Mr. ******* regarding his purchase of a Simon Li M155 sofa and love set on 10/28/23.
Upon receiving Mr. *******'s complaint, our records indicate the following timeline of events:
On 12/18/23, Mr. ******* reported a broken hinge on his set.
On 12/20/23, we requested photos from Mr. ******* to facilitate the ordering of the correct hinges.
Despite follow-up requests on 12/30/23 and 1/2/24, we did not receive the requested photos.
On 1/2/24, parts were ordered based on the description of the damaged pieces, as no photos were provided.
On 1/3/24, Mr. ******* called to check the status, and he was informed that the parts were on order.
On 2/5/24, Mr. ******* was updated that we are still waiting for the parts to arrive.
As of today, 2/28/24, our service team has reached out to Mr. *******, emphasizing that we are still awaiting the arrival of the necessary parts. We explained that some manufacturers, especially those shipping via containers, may have a longer lead time.
Once the parts arrive, we assure Mr. ******* that we will promptly complete the service and address the issue with his set.
We appreciate Mr. *******'s patience in this matter and are committed to resolving the issue as soon as the required parts are in our possession.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello,
We have contacted the customer and we both have agreed to refund the monies. The monies were refunded via credit card. We had taken the customer's order but the customer wanted time to select the proper fabric. Each day delayed by the customer in choosing the fabric delayed the ordering of the product. The delay in ordering the product pushed back our lead time which we quoted the customer.
In any event, the order has been cancelled and the monies refunded. We thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I purchased a chair from Cleveland Furniture Co. for $559.00 on 5/29/2022, now the chair is now making creaking noises. I went to the store in person on 7/22/2022, they told me someone from the service dept. would call me by Tuesday (26th), to schedule an appointment just to look at it, no one did. I called back on Wednesday (27th) and they said he should now call by Friday (29th). I called today (1st) and they said he's off on Mondays and they wouldn't give me a number to call. I just want my warranty honored.Business response

Hello, we purchased a recliner from the Cleveland furniture *** on 7/16/22 for the amount of $861. including tax and delivery. We received it today 7/22/22. When the delivery persons brought it into the house, we asked them to please take the old recliner out of the door for us, they refused saying that we did not pay for the removal fee of $50. We were shocked as no one told us about this. They asked who our salesperson was, and we told them, *************************, they said he was there a long time and should have told us. The store was called by the delivery person, and we were told nothing could be done about it. I am 67, legally blind and my wife is 67 arthritis with spinal problems, which we told them, again we were told nothing could be done. The delivery person did offer to move the old recliner to the kitchen, which is 6 feet away, but would not take it out the door to the grass, which is 11 feet away, GO FIGURE. What I am asking for is $50 compensation, since we were never told about this fee and an apology from the owner. We will NEVER set foot in that store again, and let this be a warning to others who deal with this company. P.s. "I can't do anything about the prices" seems to be a standard response from the people that work at the desk there.Business response

Sent e-mail to: ***** and *********************, ************************* On 1/31/22 I called your store on ************** since I have been a customer for 15 years. Now that we are handicapped seniors needing a heavy-duty lift chair ASAP. Over the years I dealt with *****, but he was not working that day and I talked to ***, who worked with me while I saw the recliners that would serve my purpose which were on the web. He quoted me $899. and change on the Catnapper # **** and #****. One was Graphite and one Ink. Told him after I showed the info to my wife to pick color, I would get back to him to confirm which one I wanted. Later that day, I called Cleveland Furniture to let him know, but he left early. I told the office lady to give him a message about the one we wanted. Return call next day on 2/1/22 after 10 am to confirm the phone order. He then told me that the price changed to $1129,99 plus tax and delivery. When I questioned the price adjustment, he said he couldn't anything about it because that would be the replacement cost changed by corp. He had checked the new shipment coming in but there were no lift chairs on it. I feel an adjustment should be made because it was store model, and I should have received it at the quoted price. Originally, I was going to order two recliners, but you only had available. Being seniors on a fixed income I thought going to a company whom I trusted and recommended to many would make an adjustment. *UPDATE Sat. 2/5 Received call from delivery truck stated that they had to stop for gas by would be there around 11:30 a.m. Since we had so much snow, I paid to have the delivery area cleaned. Unsuccessful to deliver recliner on promised date of 2/5 saying new (**** ft.tall) box truck would hit utility wires in our neighborhood. **** from store stating new delivery on 2/10 in smaller truck. Said he could deliver in car if I could help him. Said I couldn't because I'm handicapped. Said he would try to get adjustment on delivery cost.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because:They agreed to replace the chair. They have a similar chair in stock but not the same color. Was going to contact **** who was the store manager to see when the same color chair was coming in. Also, **** okayed a $100.00 credit be issued to my credit card which I am waiting to hear on both responses.Business response

We purchased a new sleeper sofa from the factory outlet on May 23rd, 2021 for $1132.87. It was delivered in a timely manner, but it was damaged when delivered. There were torn spots in the fabric. I have been emailing back and forth with the salesman, ******* *****, about the issue and he keeps promising that a new sofa will arrive on the “next truck” and will be delivered to us. This has been going on for 8 months with no resolution in sight.Business response

Hello *******,
Crossroads Furniture LLC dba The Cleveland Furniture Company is in receipt of BBB complaint letter ID # ********, customer *** *** ******r.
We have investigated the facts of the case.
It is a frustrating case!
Yes, we have promised the customer that we will deliver a new sofa. Yes, it has been 8 months. We have contacted the vendor and they are in production delays due to the container shipment backlog in ports , the covid cases etc. Basically everything effecting the supply chain is effecting this order.
We have pressed our vendor for a delivery date and they cannot provide one at this time.
We stand ready to make the customer happy.
Sincerely,
*** *****

Dear ******,
Your letter from the 18th of January was the first time I had communication with your office. If you sent other letters, they were not received and I didn’t see anything in my spam folder either. As it stands, after 8 months of promises that were always broken, they are supposedly delivering a new couch this week (only a few weeks after contacting you). I think that if I hadn’t contacted you, they would have still delayed delivery.
We shall see what happens if/when it arrives.
Thanks for your help!

I purchased a **************** from this company on 7/29/21. They were to be delivered on 8/20/21. The amount for both was *******. Upon delivery the loveseat was not delivered. The delivery driver said he had no idea why and he told me it was removed from the manifest. He said someone should call us Monday. I told him I didn't want the couch without the love seat and I needed him to take it back. He left the couch in the middle of my living room floor and left. The couch is not what I expected and neither is the company. I called several times to have it returned. I had to speak with several people and they said they would call me back. Days later when they finally called they said I would be charged a 25% re-stocking fee (******). There's nothing in my paperwork and contract about a re-stocking fee and this is a lot of money. Please help.Business response
