Sunday, my wife and I stopped in looking for a recliner. After just a few minutes we saw a leather…read moreone, a floor model, that we liked and we're sure it would fit our needs. (At the time, we noticed a mark of some kind on one of the arms.) Tara, our sales person, told us that there were two of these in stock, and that we wouldn't have to wait for three month if we were okay with that color. So we had her write up the order for a new one, which was to be taken from their local stock. Delivery was to be made on Wednesday, and as it turned out, it was brought out a day earlier than that. Upon arrival, I noticed that the chair was not boxed as you would normally expect for a piece like this. The guys proceeded to carry it to the front porch where I asked to inspect it before taking it inside. I noticed that the piece was marked up in several places, with dents (or impressions) on the backside. And interestingly enough, there was a mark on the arm in the same place as the floor model. Hmm! Needless to say, I refused the delivery, and phoned Tara, explaining the situation, and asked her if they had sent out the floor model instead of a new one. She didn't know. So I asked if she could go back and look to see if the model was still there. Of course, she was too busy, but after pressing the issue, she reluctantly went back and looked. And sure enough the model was gone. I then asked if she would check and see if they had a new one in stock or not. She said she would look into it and call me back. I waited 24 hours, but no call back. Since it had already been too long of a wait, I ended up initiating a call from my end. Even after trying, I wasn't able to find out why we were sent a floor model without someone calling ahead of time to see if we would be okay with that, or since she was the one who sold the piece why she 'supposedly' wasn't told about it beforehand. I was also puzzled as to why the store manager never called us to try and make things right. She did apologize, I'll give her that, but then she went on to say, "there were much bigger problems in the world." I didn't disagree with that, but that certainly didn't explain her company's lack of integrity in working with us. Anyhow, we did agree on a charge credit, but what a horrible experience and time waster this was for us! You might want to think twice before giving this company your business.

We had been traveling for 13 years so had no furniture, to speak of. We special ordered a bedroom set with a California King bed, two night stands, a dresser and a chest of drawers plus 2 sets of lamps, and an outdoor wicker table with glass top and 4 chairs. We had to special order the California King sized bed because no one carried the one we wanted in that size. Florida Home and Patio were the only ones I called willing to do a special order. Their prices and quality are excellent plus they have really unique items with a Florida vibe. Service is excellent and with a smile! Even the delivery people were excellent and would do anything to make sure the furniture was set up how we liked. The owner even called to see to see if our special order was correct and the delivery was what we expected. Who does that anymore? I highly recommend Florida Home and Patio and I'm sure these will not be the last items we get there. We can't thank Laurie and Joe enough for the excellent job they did!!

Poor quality and NO customer support. In October we purchased 2 Twin XL mattresses to be used…read moretogether on a king size adjustable base. Delivery was delayed as Ashley said they received only one mattress and had to wait for the second. Once delivery was made it became immediately evident that one mattress was thicker than the other. I was tempted to refuse delivery, but was told by their delivery person that these mattresses, which were shipped rolled up in a box, take up to 24 hours to fully expand. Well, "full expansion" never occurred and one mattress remains thicker than the other. Ashley did nothing until we filed a dispute with the finance company. Ultimately, they have sent a technician to the house twice, and have confirmed, on both inspections, that the mattresses are different heights. Ashley insists that they meet specification and will not correct. This leaves one side of a king size bed higher than the other. Our recommendation is to not buy from Ashley as their quality is questionable, and their customer support is non-existent. Should you elect to proceed with a purchase, please inspect thoroughly on delivery and refuse immediately if there are any problems/defects; otherwise getting your purchase corrected will be very difficult, if at all.
