Premature furniture deterioration—sofas sagging within months, seams splitting, cracking tables, drawers malfunctioning, and quality not matching price point
Inflexible policies and refusal to help—no price adjustments on sale items, final sale items with unclear disclosure, no free return shipping, forced white glove delivery charges
