Sectional couch ordered 7/21/24. At the time of purchase, the salesperson told me that the bracket on an armless piece could be removed at the factory. I asked that he call the factory to confirm. He called me the following day to say that the factory was not able to remove the bracket, but that Cle Furn Co could do the work at their warehouse & extra fabric was ordered. On 8/23/24, I called to check on the status of the couch and learned that it had been delivered to the warehouse but the fabric wasn't sent. I called back on 8/28/24 and was told that the fabric would arrive "sometime the following week." I called the store back on 9/4/24 and was told that the fabric had arrived, but no timeline to fix could be provided. The next day I was told that the warehouse didn't do this type of work and my salesman shouldn't have said they could. I've requested a timeline for completion and delivery multiple times. I also asked if I could speak to his manager and was told that his manager "would just throw it back in his lap b/c he shouldn't have made this promise." I asked him to have the manager call me anyways and was told that probably wouldn't happen. At this point, I want a commitment to having the couch adjusted and delivered ASAP - fitting within my work schedule - and by no later than Saturday, 9/21, if not sooner. If this isn't possible, I'd like a full refund for the amount paid to date for the couch and insurance purchased.Business response

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 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
