Loveseat/tables
My husband and I purchased 2 loveseats, coffee table, 2 end tables. When it arrived the leather was more like plastic and the loveseats we not the same as what were on their showroom floor. The one loveseat was so damaged when it arrived, we told them to take it back. The leg of one of the tables had a crack all down the center of it.
However the manager of the store, Heather, assured us the everything will be taken care of. When we went to see her at the store we told her the loveseats were made differently and we do not want to keep the loveseats. She advised me that the financing I applied for will be canceled and everything will be returned. THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED, since I just received a bill from Citibank for the total amount of all the furniture!!!
THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, DON'T STAND BY THEIR COMPANY AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A NAME AND NUMBER OF ANYONE ABOVE THE MANAGER.
I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM THE COMPANY EVER AGAIN!!!

Terrible experience
Almost a year ago, I spent thousands of dollars buying new leather furniture for my living room. After months of shopping, I decided on the complete set from Jennifer Convertibles. 1st mistake! Our delivery was late, they unwrapped our new merchandise in our front yard under our giant pine tree and scratched the leather on all pieces. There was a tear in the love seat and the chair. There were large, deep scratches in the sofa and love seat seat cushions and arms and the top of the ottoman. I made the delivery driver wait until I reached customer service to have the damage noted before I accepted delivery. (45 min) They said they would send a tech out to repair/replace the damaged pieces.
He came, was unable to fix anything, ordered pieces to replace and left. 6 weeks go by, many calls and no response. I receive an arm, a piece of FAKE leather and a back pillow, reschedule the tech, he comes back, wrong pieces received, can't fix anything. Says he will reorder. Many more calls, and several more months go by... nothing! Customer service is rude and offer no solutions. I called mgr where I got the furniture, he says he will help.
More broken promises, they won't even answer my calls, return my messages or emails... now what? Damaged furniture still in my living room. In 5 weeks, it will be 1 year since I ordered and still no resolution. Do NOT order from JC!!!

Awful experience
I'm a former Jennifer Convertible Sales Rep with a disability whose rights were totally denied. I can handle this, but at the costs of the environment while our country is also faced with one of the worse energy crisis in decades, a witch who needs to fly off on a flaming broom, with the knowledge of superiors, and I can tell you, knowledge of corporate executives, showed no respect for our country's national crisis, but rather took the low road, and demanded that I, a disabled citizen drive 55 miles from my home to work in their Stamford CT store, forcing me to use two tanks of gas in my Toyota Corolla per week, while our country suffers from an energy crisis.
I believe with your help, we could have a Boycott of this company become successful?

Fraud and cheating
I bought a sofa "full sleeper" on 08/28/08 for $299.99 + Tax. The salesperson, who happens to be the manager told me that it would be delivered on 09/03/2008 between 1-6 pm. At 5:oo pm on 09/03 I called him because the delivery people haven't arrived and he said they should be at my door any minute, they never did, instead a not very nice woman called me on the phone and told me that the truck broke down (she did not even apologize) she just said that it would have to be re-scheduled for 09/12/08. I said OK cause I did not have any choice.
Supposedly they came in the morning and they say that I did not pick up the phone and they could not deliver, there is no sign that they came at all, they did not even left a message. So I called the manager that same day and he was not in the office and he would not pick up my calls so I talked to his coworker instead and he said that he is not a manager and there is nothing he can do.
I stopped by their store at 5:30 pm that afternoon and the employee told me that I wasted my time coming by because the manager was not there. So I called them again on 09/16 and they both said I should call next day 09/17 around 2:00 pm so I did. And I asked Ramon when would he have my sofa deliver, he replied that I needed to pay another $99.00 for delivery fees. I said "no way" it's not my fault that you guys cannot communicate with your drivers. He told me that the drivers are sub-contractors and he has nothing to do with them. So I asked him to give me a refund, cause I did not want to pay the extra $99 and go trough all the ordeal again.
He said that he would charge me 30% of the total (including the $99 delivery) which came to $120.00 that I would have to give them in order to receive a refund. So far they got my $419.47 since 08/28/08 and I have no sofa and I am very upset and disappointed.

Scam warranty
On 5/2/08 I purchased a Maverick Cobblestone Sofa from Jennifer Convertible. The piece was delivered on 5/9/08. There was a minor issue with a recliner handle (it stuck a little on one side) but it worked so we accepted the item. In early August I noticed a lump in the center cushion and checked underneath to find 2 pieces of the wood frame were broken. One piece which connected the frame to the springs sheared in half and was hanging underneath (causing the odd lump in the cushion). I called Jennifer Convertible's customer service line on 8/7 and was told an engineer would have to come and inspect it. The engineer had up to 5 days to call then another 10 days to report after visiting.
2 days later I received a call and was informed no one could come to my home until 8/24 - 3 weeks after my complaint. On 8/24/08 an outside technician came and fixed the handle but verbally stated he couldn't fix broken wood. He clearly indicated this was a problem and that should not have happened to the sofa.
After hearing nothing from Jennifer Convertible I called on 9/5/08 and was informed my claim was denied because of Customer Abuse per the technician's report. I asked to speak to a manager and they would not transfer me. Jennifer Convertible did offer to send another engineer to inspect but the process has to start over. I've had this broken sofa, that they are claiming I broke by abuse in my home for over month. I presume they define sitting on it as abuse, then yes I'm responsible, but if not this process seems absurd and unfair.
I called the store and spoke to my salesperson, he stated they could not help at the store level and that I had to fight it out with customer service group. The secretary of the technician, she stated his report does not indicate an opinion, it is impartial, he reports back to the company and they, not he, renders a decision based on the report. The customer service group told me the opposite.
After this conversation I was transferred to a manager at Jennifer and left a voice mail that went unreturned. While they are sending a 2nd person I believe this whole process is a sham. Their sales invoice indicates they will replace a new product due to defect, faulty materials or poor workmanship for up to one year. I owned this sofa for 3 months and they are telling me it was my abuse or normal wear and tear that caused a wood frame to break. In other words if Jennifer Convertibles simply tells everyone who complains that the damage was caused by the customer then the company can walk away from their guarantee which is a joke and clearly what is happening here.
The second problem is that if a Jennifer Convertible sofa's frame can break after 90 days of use from normal wear and tear, no one and I mean no should purchase a thing from them.

Horrible product and service
My husband and I bought our sofa sectional from Jennifer convertibles on April 7th of 2007 it was delivered to use on May 28th of 2007 four months after that we noticed some problems in the sofa so we tried to contact Jennifer convertibles witch is impossible because all their phone lines are busy or no longer in service. It took a month to get a repair tech to come out and look over our sofa come to find out the repair tech Derek Rodgers lied in his report about our sofa. They said it would take 7-10 business day for someone to contact us regarding our sofa. We waited a month to try back then we where told that there was nothing wrong with our sofa and no further action was going to be taken.
That's when I decide to send them pictures of my sofa. After they received the pictures they sent out another repair tech witch happened to be the same tech that came out the time before Derek Rodgers.
He couldn't really do anything to our sofa, but look it over again because the damage was the cushion. He did however remove his pair of sunglasses out from the under part of our sofa form the last visit he left them behind. He said that it would take 7-10 business days from that second visit to have someone contact us. After the 10 business days with out any word from them I decide to call in I spoke to Julio Torez he was very helpful, but what he told me was different form what Mairl Gair told me she said that before I could get the sofa replaced I would have to get it fixed first so she sent out a different repair tech his name was Clark Mathews wasn't very helpful though he look over the sofa then left. So that's the third time I had a repair tech come in to my home, but wait I'm not done, I get a call saying that another repair man is coming out to blind stitch my sofa cushion. Its has been a total of five months of back and forth with this company and I'm tired of it. We still have to wait for the cushion to come in and then we have to call the repair tech to come out and put it on that's to long for me and my family to have to wait We didn't even get to enjoy our sofa for that long and in our eyes its not new anymore.
All I can tell you is fight for what you want and don’t give up. My Family and I live in AZ and we finally got our money back for our sofa sectional it took a year with this company, but it can be done go to the Better Business Bureau, Take pictures, take down names dates, but don’t let them tell you they cant do something for you my husband and I received so many letters stating that its our fault and they wouldn’t do anything for us, but I keep fighting and I won. If you do get a replacement make sure you inspect it before you sign off on it and if there is anything wrong with it you can turn it down.
Good Luck

Don't honor price quotes / hard sell
Despite seeing the complaints all over the internet about this chain, I was lured into trying to buy a sofa there.
Their "headline" prices are attractive, as are some of their designs. I found a quote in their website and went to the store with it- which most be the only retailer in the world where you can't order their products- except for a single set of bed sheets... The scam is that they try to hard sell you all ostrts of extras on the backend- insurance, replacement guarantee etc. If you don't bite, they call "the manager" who then informs them that the website price is no longer valid. They also have varying estimates on delivery costs depending on the day of the week you ask them. I lived in eastern Europe and the whole operation stinks of some second rate Balkan scam artist. And all this prior to even the purchase- let alone the "delivery" -if it ever comes, and the poor quality of the product. Here's the rule: If it's too good to be, it probably is. Store: 2300 Broadway, Upper West Side, New York City. Conclusion: STAY AWAY. YOU WILL REGRET EVER DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS CHAIN!!!

Delivery problems
Did not receive a "courtesy call" before 5pm the day before - as they told me when I purchased the sofa. I ended up calling them at 5pm and they said that the 5 hr window would be from 12-5pm. So I said ok, that reduces the original 12 hr expected window (8am-8pm) down to 6 hrs really. The next day I went on errands in the morning, only to find that they tried to deliver at 9:30am. I called the delivery guy - he said he couldn't come back. I called the Manhattan Jennifer Convertible branch that I purchased from - and they were not helpful, saying that I would have to reschedule. The next possible day being a week later (which was not possible for me) and the next one after that in 2 more weeks.
As a result - my sofa won't come before the July 4th holiday when I wanted to have people over. I'm on call as a physician on certain days so I specifically went out of my way to get it delivered, and it was not delivered. The true delivery date is now up in the air.
I should have done more research before purchasing from them - it's bad when you Google "Jennifer Convertibles" and find that the first few links already has 4 sites pointing to customer complaints.

The worst stores I've ever dealt with!
I ordered our couch on February 28, 2007 with a 12-14 week delivery. I had been looking for a couch for a month and the wait was extremely long, but for the price and features, after much discussion and being ensured by the salesperson that it was NEVER that long, I decided it was worth the wait.
It is now 16 weeks past the order date and there is still no delivery scheduled. When you try to call; it is busy 90% of the time and then they put you on hold for 20-30 minutes to 'check the status.' They said they can refund me the deposit, but there is still not promised date that they will have it. They said they are having problems with China and it's supposedly being delayed in between there and there warehouse in Virginia.
When I have the energy, I am going to go back to the store and get the refund. It's just a shame that we have not been able to use our finished basement for six months due to this. In addition, the store knows that I am going through treatment (radiation and chemotherapy) for cancer and I need the sleeper for my caregivers.
This is one of the worst stores I've ever dealt with.
