I got American Drew furniture for two bedrooms, and Kincaid for the other, and the prices were unbelievably low! I also got a pair of Clayton Marcus swivel rockers for my livingroom. I had shopped ALL of the new furniture stores in the area, as far as Jacksonville and was wondering if my budget was going to leave half my house empty. Kirkman's was a very friendly, welcoming place to shop, and by the end I was wishing I had a few more rooms to furnish! High quality and good taste in everything I saw. I would recommend Kirkman's to anyone looking to beautifully furnish their homes on a budget!

We were greeted at the door by an incredibly attentive and informative young man named Dillon. He wasn't your typical salesman. He truly wanted to know what we were looking for so he could steer us to the right couch, asking about materials, style, etc. He helped narrow our search, saving us time and money. He really listened. That's a rare trait. No high pressure, trying to upsell extras we didn't want. He was pleasant and efficient. We'll be sure to seek him out again for any further purchases for our new home.

So many cute gifts for any occasion! The staff was attentive, greeted me upon entering and asked if I needed help finding something in particular.

When we got it home it was scratched on the top and had cobwebs under the table so obviously it was a floor model. After contacting the manager he said he would discount the item and it would reflect on my next bill, my next bill came no discount I called again he said he would take care of it I haven't heard a word back and just got my statement and no discount and there was an insurance charge on there which I never purchased. I should have paid attention to the reviews and went to Greenville! Very poor customer service! will definitely go back to the New Bern store again.

Totally cool that you don't like the current President; I loathed the former President. Yet, I didn't go around saying things such as "F$&@ the President." That is in total poor taste. Plus, if you are trying to sell merchandise, it seems like you might want to be Switzerland. And maybe the loss of my business is made up by all those who support those who say things like "F$&@ the President," but why take that chance? I definitely will not suggest anyone visit this establishment.

This review is for the new store on Glenburnie. I was not able to post directly to their store…read more Something to be aware of..... My husband and I bought a lot of furniture from Ashley Furniture when we moved to New Bern. It took 14 months for the furniture to arrive. We vowed we would never use them again. Well, time passed. We have the new Ashley store, so we decided to give it a try for some lamps. Our credit card statement shows up with a charge for "New Bern Performance" right next to a charge for New Bern Civic Theater. Our credit card has been hacked 3 times in 6 months so we immediately disputed the charge only to discover that "New Bern Performance" is actually Ashley Furniture. Go figure!!!! My husband talked with the owner Mike, who indicated that there is"nothing he can do about it" . When we recommended that his employees simply inform the customer that the charge will not say "Ashley" he said his people are not privey to that information. Well Ashley employees.... here is the information. Your parent company is New Bern Performance. Now you are privey. Unfortunately, Ashley is still providing customer no service.

Buyer Beware! We were told we could receive a discount by…read morepaying with a check. What they failed to tell us was that before they would deliver our furniture, we would have to prove the check had cleared our bank. I received a text from the delivery company asking me to schedule a delivery appointment, which I did. One hour later, I received another text saying I would have to provide proof that my check had cleared. Why is the customer responsible for proving a payment has cleared? Doesn't the store have access to verify that themselves? I sent a photo of the canceled check. That wasn't good enough. I was then told I had to send it to the store instead of the delivery company. So I did. Now I've received another message from the store saying I must also provide proof that the money was actually deducted from my bank account. This process has been frustrating, time-consuming, and completely unnecessary. If this is your policy, it should be clearly explained before customers choose to pay by check and schedule delivery--not after. If you're considering paying by check to save a little money, be prepared for extra hoops and delays that were never disclosed upfront.
