Found a mattress we wanted, listed at GW for $1799. Went in to ensure quality, etc. but fully prepared to buy that day. Our first salesperson, Josh, was so obviously and insultingly "selling" us that we didn't trust anything he said. We left to return another day. When we came back we had price shopped and found the same mattress for less elsewhere so we presented to GW for their "price match" - they said they'd match price (after much positioning as if they were doing me a favor), but took away all other incentives (free gifts, discounts on bedframe/boxspring, etc.) so that net/net the price would be the same as their ad. They offered no further discount or incentive. So, we walked and went to the other store where we got the very same mattress, an adjustable base (with Zero Gravity and vibration) and a mattress cover for a price LESS THAN the GW sales price. With GWs reputation for horrible service after a sale, and now knowing their prices can easily be beat elsewhere, we'll not shop with them in the future. If you're buying a mattress, buy elsewhere.

My furniture is just sitting in a shipping warehouse somewhere and has been for 2 weeks, waiting for Trent at Gardner White for a simple call or email to the delivery service to authorize them to deliver it to me. According to Gardner White customer service they are “aware of my issue” but no one has attempted to fix it. Awesome. I ordered in November 2020, it’s now February 2021 and still no furniture. Needless to say I am very frustrated and I do not recommend that anyone give their business to Gardner White. They clearly do not care about whether their customers get their furniture or not, and they have terrible communication skills all around; with their customers and with their shipping services.

I ordered my furniture in July. I was told it would arrive at the beginning of Sept. I heard nothing from the the store so I had to call mid Sept. I was told it was on the next truck and it would be here in a week. We were so excited and removed our old furniture from our house. That was a huge mistake because it wasn’t true!! Still no one called me. I called back mid October. Was told again it was on the next truck. That wasn’t true!!! Still no communication from the store. I called the end of November and was told again it was on the next truck. That must be the only answer they give! Not true!! They finally called me right after Christmas. I was so angry that it took so long and there was no communication. I called the store and asked for a manager. I talked to Jennifer and asked if I could get a discount for my inconvenience. She did not care how long I had waited and give me nothing for the inconvenience. She is definitely not a people person and does not care about the customer service they give. The only thing great about this experience were the two men that delivered my furniture. They were very friendly and very helpful.

I ordered the Ethan bedroom set, an additional side table, and a king mattress in the beginning of July 2020. Not only did my furniture arrive in two different shipments (multiple months apart), but I also never received formal notice ahead of time that the deliveries were taking place. Each time I received a text message 30 minutes beforehand and that was it; no notice the day before or the week before. Whoever was handling my order was unprofessional and non-existent. In the beginning of November 2020, I decided to purchase a living room set because I had time to wait around for the delivery (estimated end of January). After contacting customer service today (January 29), I learned that the delivery is being postponed until mid March 2021. I have not communicated with the new sales rep since I placed the order in November; I was originally reassured there would be more communication about my second order. I have yet to hear anything from the rep and only know about the change of delivery date because of the online chat feature through the website. I will not be purchasing from Garder White again. Other than the convenience of the store credit card, I see nothing keeping me from going somewhere else for furniture. I like the quality of the furniture that I already received and the delivery men have all been friendly and helpful; the customer service, however, has been poor and there is no communication. I understand supplier backorders making things complicated, but why do I have to chase down my order time and time again?

Terrible at customer service. They don't clearly explain promotional information. I now need to pay $600 in interest, even though I was certain (100%) that I'd paid everything off within the time limit. I will never purchase anything from Gardner-White again; nor will I ever work with Comenity Bank---both of these companies have TERRIBLE customer service.

GARDNER WHITE- Beware. We purchased 2 sofas over $4000. and selected a free tv. Wrong promo was sent to us even though we had been in contact with our salesman and corporate BEFORE we received the sofas stating that salesman offered us wrong promo item. Our salesman assured us it would be corrected as he sent an email to corporate. I then called and spoke to a young man in corporate- when I did not hear back from our salesman. We did not know the promo was not corrected until after the furniture arrived (as you don't get the promo emailed to you until AFTER THE FURNITURE IS DELIVERED). So how could I know that it was not corrected in the first place? Anyway, I contacted G.W. 7 times within a month, spoke with this nice young man, and numerous times he assured me it would be fixed. When it was not fixed, I called again and he informed us that we could not get the tv because we already had the sofas in our home (per his boss)??? I had been calling for weeks and this was suppose to be corrected. We had been in contact well before the email was even sent with the wrong promo item. Then we received a DEFECTIVE SOFA!!!! The delivery men were adjusting the wiring/connectors trying to get the electronic footrest to work upon delivery. They tore some of the backing from the bottom by the switch, messed with the wires and it worked-we thought it was fine. The sofa stopped working AGAIN 3 weeks later in the recline position, we can not even sit on the sofa. We had a repair man out today and we are now informed that the wiring and the switch/buttons in the leather were bad. Again - it arrived damaged and did not properly work on day one. I told the repair man that he could tell them that we wanted to exchange the sofa. Gardner white has very poor customer service & shady business practices. They want to pull the factory installed buttons out of the leather and replace them- plus the wiring and switch. We want a fully operational sofa like we should have had after paying $2000 each. This was noticed on day 1, it worked for 3 weeks. I was asked by GW customer service why I didn't called to report the defect, why would I call when it was working for 3 weeks? I called customer service and spoke to a young man whom rudely spoke over me and informed me that the sofa was not defective, and it was just the wiring....isn’t that part of the sofa? He sounded like he was 15 years old. I have been given bad information many times by rude individuals and I am certain I am not alone.. I informed the repairman and he was kind enough to tell me to call G.W. again. We paid $4000 cash, did not get the tv, we have a non-operational reclining sofa that we are not able to use, and I am being told that it will have to be repaired? *****EDIT**** below are a couple pictures of the quality that you get from Gardner White & $4000.. The sofa looks like 2 different pieces as the stitching doesn’t even line up. Repair man said this is normal and not terrible. The door model didn’t look like this. Would he like this in his home after paying cash for a mismatched, damaged sofa? What is wrong with companies these days?

Salesperson Ruth at the Novi store was knowledgeable and professional when I placed a custom order for a sofa and loveseat and was told it would be delivered mid-February 2021. From there it went downhill fast... Two weeks later I got a phone call that fabric was no longer available. Went in and selected new fabric and Ruth said she'd put a rush on it to still meet the mid-February delivery date. Waited 6 weeks and called to see how things were going when the operator mentioned my order was coming mid-April. I asked to speak to Ruth -- was put on hold for 25-plus minutes but NO ONE ever came to the phone. Called back and left a message for the Store Manager. NO ONE ever called me back. Called again today and found out that I can't cancel my order without losing $500-plus. No discount for taking so long. Wondering if I'll ever get my furniture OR my money back. I should have listened to others who had shared their Gardner White horror stories.

I purchased 2 couches on October 3, 2020 and it is now January 2021 and I did not receive my couches and was told they were out of stock as of January 16, 2021. I had to call several times and continued to receive emails that the couches were out of stock. The customer service representatives were not clear on where the couches were and I felt misled and was not happy with my service. When I went to another company, I was able to purchase 2 couches and they are being delivered on Thursday, January 21. I cancelled the order and requested a refund.

Spent about $6000 at Gardner-White. Customer Service is very poor. Most of the furniture brought to my house was defective and I had to fight with them to fix the issues. Still to this day I have a leather couch with pin holes in it, and it has not been remedied. It seems as though no one is checking the quality of the furniture before it is put on the trucks and sending out defective furniture. I miss ART VAN furniture. I never had these issues with Art Van. And it seems like nobody cares at Gardner-White.

My wife and I spent over 2 hours sampling mattress, since we both like 2 different styles of comfort. We finally agreed on a Sterns & Foster mattress. Ready to purchase and then asked the salesperson if they had the "EXACT SAME MATTRESS" in a floor sample area. The salesman advised he would investigate and let us know. He returned and mentioned he had the "EXACT SAME MATTRESS", but it would be a non-returnable purchase. We thought it over and agreed after 2 hours of sampling, this is the mattress we wanted. The mattress was delivered 3 days later without the manufactures tag, that typically identify s the exact model and style. This was NOT the same style of mattress we agreed to in the store. The mattress delivered was ROCK HARD. Neither of us are able to sleep on this bed. We were extremely dissatisfied with what we received. Returning to the store, I reviewed our experience with the Store Manager and how we were LIED to for a sale. The mattress delivered was not the "EXACT SAME MATTRESS". there were NO labels on the mattress to validate receiving what we paid for was what were expecting to receive. HOW can an exact same mattress be made WITHOUT validating labels? Explaining to him that we are now stuck with this mattress because of store policy. He could see my frustration and advised me that a service representative would be at our house in a couple of days to review the situation. The scheduled day I was advised to see the service representative, never showed. I called the number on the Store Managers business card and I was connected to the customer service department. After a long discussion with this person, I was advised that a team member is scheduled to be at our house, 10 days after when were advised. The final results of this situation is unknown. BEWARE - salesperson (previously Art Van) promised the same exact mattress, but did not deliver. Paid to receive a mattress we cannot sleep on. We have to purchase another mattress and it will not be at Gardner White. This is my last experience with this organization.

Ordered the Whitney Sectional told it was a firm and better quality sectional. What a joke! This is the worse sectional ever purchased. They will not refund our money or allow us to trade for different sectional. The salesman lied about this sectional being firm. There is no support in the back of the sectional. This cost us over $3,500.00 with extended warranty. I specifically asked for a Detroit Furniture sectional, to be told they do not care it. I found out later the Taylor store did not have that sectional, but the other stores did. Its very disappointing they will not stand behind their products. We only had it for 3 weeks when the initial phone call was placed to customer service. They only have a 7 day refund policy, like thats long enough. I have always purchased from Art Van who stood behind their products and provided great customer service. I will never shop at Gardner White again!!!

We purchased a five-piece white bedroom set for our daughter in September. After several phone calls, we received the bed set in November partially. The day before it was to be delivered, we received a phone call legit g us know that the mirror and nightstand were on backorder, and we should have them by the beginning of the next week. When the bedroom set was delivered and set up, it was filthy, with cracks in the paint, chips on the dresser. There was NOTHING about this delivery, a white glove delivery as they advertise. I contacted their corporate office, leaving a message, no return call. When we purchased this set, they offered a free tv. Here we are, four months later, no mirror, nightstand, or tv. We have called and called only to be given excuse after excuse. I would NOT RECOMMEND buying from them!

Was expecting a couch delivery today, when I ordered last week I was told everything but a bench was in stock, when the delivery drivers showed up today they had half a couch and a rug. No phone call saying I was not receiving what I was supposed to receive. It wasn’t even the full part of the couch, just the chaise. We waited ALL day for this delivery. Changed plans to be home. Highly inconsiderate and unprofessional. A phone call would have made the difference between a highly upset customer and a mildly disappointed customer. Absolutely no customer service!! Buyer beware 😡

I purchased a mattress, box springs, frame, loveseat and recliner from them mid-September and was told it would be a while before I would get everything but the mattress due to COVID. So they said it would be late September or possibly October for the recliner and sometime in October for the loveseat. While they were putting the charge through, their computer had some issue, so I got a receipt that still showed I owed money, though they said I didn't. I had the manager write on the receipt that things were paid in full. Thankfully, I did not have a problem with billing, but know they are constantly having computer issues. This is where I have to say that I had to hound Gardner-White every step of the way for updates on my order. Not once did they reach out to me to give me an update. This is after paying thousands of dollars. Okay, so late October, of course, the recliner didn't arrive. I hounded them for weeks, trying to find out where my furniture was. I'd talk to one person who would tell me the recliner would be delivered "next week," only to have no recliner the next week. Then someone would say I'd have it "for sure" within two weeks, and that time would come and go. Then someone would say it would arrive in November. It is frustrating as hell to deal with these people. Their office manager is a blithering, dithering idiot. Meanwhile, I was in a ton of pain. I'm disabled and moved here, only to have to sit on a folding chair for months due to Gardner-White's inability to get me the furniture I paid for. I left them messages and talked to people, telling them I really need some communication and to get my furniture because I am in pain. Gardner-White's customer service is abysmal. I actually had to drive to the store, which isn't close to me, twice to deal with them because of their poor communication and followup over the phone. Okay, so after I've been telling them I NEED my furniture because I'm disabled and in a lot of pain due to sitting on a folding chair for weeks, and late October, after stringing me along and telling me my recliner was either in or would be in the next week, when I called they told me that the recliner was discontinued. The company went out of business, and I wouldn't be getting it at all. I then had to hound them again for nearly a month and physically go to their store in order to get the full refund. I ended up reversing the charge in the meantime due to their lack of processing a refund in a timely manner. The office manager is completely confused. Finally, after placing umpteen calls about the loveseat, I was told that it was actually in the warehouse and they had been holding it because they weren't sure if I'd want it since the recliner was no longer available. HELLO? Why didn't anyone CALL ME?? I had placed multiple calls to them, stating that I am disabled, in PAIN, and needed my furniture, and they're so disorganized that they had the loveseat and were holding it??? And they didn't realize the recliner wouldn't arrive because the company folded? I was so angry. Gardner-White displayed that they do not care about their customers whatsoever. Once they have your money, they're done. You will spend weeks--no, MONTHS--placing calls and likely having to drive there multiple times to try to sort things out. In short, since Art Van closed, they simply don't have enough competition, so they can treat customers like this. I finally got the loveseat. And then, after weeks, I finally got a refund for the recliner. In the meantime, I had to reverse the charge. I will never do business with Gardner-White again. My advice: 1. Don't do business with Gardner-White, period. 2. If you ignore #1, then be sure to pay with a credit card so you can dispute the charges when Gardner-White doesn't deliver your furniture. 3. Bargain. They will come down on their prices. Be willing to go elsewhere and show it.

Customer service has been good on the front end. Quality of furniture has ranged from excellent to poor. Their value pieces are poorly made and not worth the savings. Higher end pieces are well-made and the assembly service that comes with the delivery is extraordinary. Do not open a credit account if you cannot pay in full by the end of the interest free term. It is a waste of money in the long run.

Like the rest, still waiting on a couch we ordered mid July! Was supposed to be here in October, then November and then December but about to enter the new year still with no couch. Repeated calls and never get answers and usually not a call back. Just be honest up front so we can choose to wait if we want. They take your money and don’t deliver.

Not even going to spend an hour writing all the things that have went wrong from the day I ordered my son a mattress for his bday. Needless to say its been 2 weeks and issue is not resolved. To sum it all up....first we were lied to about delivery date. After calling finally got it delivered. Wrong mattress....after trying to blame me they finally admitted it was their fault. Took many calls and emails and a week to get through to anyone. After I got ahold of my salesman Patrick, I demanded a refund since they wanted me to pay extra for the item I already was supposed to have...he said let me set up the pick up and ill call you right back...a week later and funny I havent had a call back yet. Also have sent more emails. Have spoken to 50 others in my community and all have had terrible experiences and it seems they try often to take advantage of people. They are liars...Will avoid you at all costs after they have your money...horrible customer service. I actually don't know how they are still running! do not go here unless you love being lied to or never want an issue resolved, maybe you want the wrong item.

December 28, 2020 Canton Michigan My sales man with Lincoln he was awesome. The delivery men did a great job, they were kind and professional. The men that put my bed frame back together did an awesome job as well. This was the second time I had to have my new bed delivered. The first crew did a poor job and could not get the bed frame up my stairs, they scratched my newly painted stairs, were condescending, rude and unprofessional. I had to pay an extra $150 to have the bed frame taken a part.
