Worst experience EVER!! After purchasing small sectional and recliner, was told delivery would be exactly a week later (Following Tuesday morning and it would be first delivery by 9:30am) I double checked it would be early and that I had a doctor's appointment at 10:30 and was assured it would be first delivery. I then explained my doors and frame were on the smaller side and I had to take legs off previous couch to get in. I was assured it was no issue at all and they would get it in and set up.

Would never recommend to my worst enemy! Dished out 2k, pd in full the night we picked out our living room set, was told it was in stock, just call a day before so they could retrieve from warehouse, I do one better and give 2 days advance and exact time, my husband went and furniture was not at showroom, what was my notice for? Then he was told the love seat was ripped and they couldn't find the couch, offered the floor model with no discount and were not willing to budge!

Nancy we are so sorry we failed to meet your expectations on your original purchase. The living room group you selected we thought we had but it turned out after searching the warehouse for two hours the computer was incorrect and we did … More

Recently purchased a sectional couch and the sales people assured us that an afternoon delivery was good. When they called the night before to set up the time they TOLD me when they would be there, and when I tried to say that's not what was discussed, I was told "that's how we roll" then they simply hung up the phone. So now for the delivery...

The workers were more worried about taking their cigarette break then they were helping us load our vehicle with the table and chair set we bought. They didn’t give us the top to the table and one of the chairs came broken in the package. We had to go back to the store and ask for these items, at this point I thought they’d offer to have the new chair delivered to us but instead we had to go pick them up ourselves. The product itself is very cheaply made, the parts barely fit together correctly.

Worst experience!! Larry likes to put his hands on customers after all my boyfriend wanted was his money back for a damanged couch that we bought! So unprofessional and the worst customer service. Larry Dicono literally picked him up by his throat and threw him out of the store. The sad thing is that Carl N Melinda Vogel hasn’t even reached out to make this right or at least apologize for the terrible customer service we received at his place of business.

Customer service after the sale sucks. To the point where you’re actually raised a voice at. If a pull out sofa has a defect and you fall through the corner because it was stapled instead of a bracket, no problem. You address it. If you …

I had went on their website - they had on clearance dining room chairs 25 dollars the website says. I go there thinking I'll get 5 chairs 125.00 dollars. Thinking that is a good deal, as dining room chairs are expensive, usually being a …

As a business owner myself, I can not express how incredible the kindness and communication of the staff truly is here. Especially Heather and Mike. Thank you so much!!!! The furniture is awesome and this place will bend over backwards to make sure you're happy. The prices are very reasonable as well! We won't ever go anywhere else for furniture. Thanks again to carl and the staff!

Back at Carls for our second time! The highlight of my visit was the amazing salesperson who helped us. Amazing energy and made the experience fun! They were friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the different materials, warranties, and delivery options. They listened to what I needed, asked thoughtful questions, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Thanks!
