Bought furniture from Ashleys Furniture Auguest 6,2006 They were 3 piece leather reclining section's Paid cash [$2,596.47] I haden't had the furniture 3 month's and the chair sank in on the right side ! Ashley had sent a repair man 3 times making it worse It took Better Business Beura for them to give me a new chair . Than I noticed somthing at the end of my sofa My Leather sofa was peeling ! I sent the previous owner of Ashley Furniture in 2006 Telling him about the peeling of my sofa. He sent a letter by return mail Stating I had real Leather [Leather Match] 100% Leather. I looked Leather Match up from a leather expert He said it is a water proof modern vinyl urethane fabric that has the look and feel like real leather ! I have sent information in referance to Ashley Furniture selling Vinal as Leather .That is down right Fraud There are many customers on the net .that paid big money for junk I had sent information into Division Of Consumers Affairs Office Of The Attorney General Better Business Any one who could do somthing to help me and others like me that got scamed If you live in NJ and bought from Ashley And somthing is wrong with it Will you be willing to join me in Court So we can get our money back I am attaching a picture so you can see how bad it is .

Three months after delivery my reclening chair saged on the right side Was replaced by new one. Now after I noticed my new sofa was peeling All of my seating that recline's sages And was extreamly hard to get out of. My furniture just might be Leather .But a very low quality . I invite you to come to my home and you tell me that a little over 2 years that my furniture lookes like I have had it for at least over 10 years I have bought leather recliners and sofas for Bellmawr Furniture Not one piece had peeled My son has my leather recliner and it look's newer than my set you sold me .As far as taking care of my furniture I am known to be a cleaning fanatic ! I cleaned my furniture exactly as directed . I invite you to come to my home and see for yourself Just why I am spending most of my time .Trying to get my money back or a decent set To you $2,500 might be much to you But to me and many others it is a lot !

Did you read the little tags sewn onto the furniture before you bought it?

#7Consumer Comment

Those little tags will list the stuffing & also the cover. Did you read any product descriptions included in your bill of sale carefully? Sometimes ''leather in seating areas'' or ''leather match'' will appear. Sometimes pigment-finished (as opposed to analine-dyed, i.e. semitransparent finished) leathers can have what almost amounts to a painted surface, which can peel. This can occur after a damaged finish was ''repaired''. Leather-match means ''leather-appearing'' vinyl was used in non-seating areas while anywhere your body usually touches [when you are sitting in the chair or couch] is covered in real leather. Quality ''leather-appearing'' vinyl should not peel. It *may* crack after *many* years of contact with human skin because the natural oil on our skin, if not cleaned off promptly, will age & dry out the vinyl. I suggest that if you really prefer leather furniture, and given that quality leather furniture, if properly cared for ( a really BIG IF ), will last a lifetime, then I suggest that you google ''leather furniture'' and start reading. There are firms that will build quality leather furniture for you (you pick the leather, the color, the furniture style, etc.) and the piece is built for you. Figure $2500 for a couch. Most class-action lawsuits only generate a lot of money for the few (read: lawyers) and a tiny token amount of money for the many (like you).
