Thread 514167057

there is a large tiktok movement right now about how ashley furniture is scamming customers

>>514167057 (OP)
Furniture stores are just boomer scams. We had a local one here close after 50 years.
Turns out that needing to finance a table that's $13,000 that's too big and heavy to fit into your average zoomers apartment isn't a good business model.

>>514167057 (OP)
Great info thx.

dont try to return anything you will get the run around

>>514167057 (OP)
>Ashley is the name of the store
lol, lmao

Post a link or webm or fuck off

>>514167057 (OP)
Boomers' houses are full of furniture. Go to yard sales, estate sales, auctions and secondhand stores if you need to furnish your place. Don't give these corporations whatever ridiculous sum of money they demand.

Reupholstery is worth it

>>514169380
?

>>514167057 (OP)
What's the scam? Or is this just people complaining about them?

>>514169193
most furniture shops sell cheap shit at luxury prices, heavy tables made from real actual wood are not the problem, cheap lightweight "tables" made from papier mache (inb4 some mutt screaming ENGINEERED WOOD! no it's literally cardboard) are the problem

>>514167057 (OP)
Wow very informative, thanks for providing so many details (sage)

>>514169664
you never fucked an ugly bitch called ashley? literally a meme name at this point

>>514169403
you can literally buy the finest stuff extremely cheap this way

>>514170026
Any mutt flag screaming about and defending shitty compressed particle board furniture is a brown subhuman. I miss the days of my youth when my grandparents dining room table was heavy as fuck mahogany. Eating dinner on it was an experience. The shit I have in my home now just sounds and feels different. I fucking hate IKEA and all of the modern shit. Thanks for nothing Swedekikes.

>>514170026
A lot of times the fake wood is heavier than real wood while being inferior.

I guess it's some alphie retard playing jourfag

If they aren't taking their items home right away they should be paying with CC to get some customer protection ffs, who in their right minds drops 10k and walks home empty handed.
The catalogue is a mess rn I wonder what else besides the shooting is happening rn.

i would never shop at a store that has a girl's name

it's fine for things like collectables, think baseball cards or maybe silver plates. but you dont want your furniture to be someone elses. it's going to be nasty with whatever they have in their house including bugs.

>>514171458
You nigger wife would get jealous and demand to know who Ashley is.

>>514170026
I make furniture. that mdf shit is absolute hell to work with and plywood is cheaper.

>>514170370
Used furniture will give your wife/gf the ick

If you need furniture the only based and redpilled options are 1. commission an actual woodworker to do it, usually they charge way too much so this option is only for rich fags 2. buy used quality stuff, here people give away cabinets and shit made from exotic woods for pennies because they like soulless ikea syle more 3. learn some woodworking and do it yourself, you can even buy used good stuff and customize it quite easily, don't fuck up anything super nice if you are a beginner though. Building furniture with modern tools combined with the ancient ones is not at all hard, and you don't even need that much tools to begin with, of course doing the finest stuff needs some serious learning and CNC furniture is for retards so don't even think about it

>>514171939
Men who worry about giving girls the ick give girls the ick

>>514171619
nope, if you are scared of some bugs just spray your furniture with some pesticide shit, and maybe don't buy shit from jeets in the first place

collectibles are for suckers who don't appreciate the actual nice things in the life like quality furniture that will go strong for centuries even if you abuse them

>>514171939
I hate women so much it's unreal, and you should too. In real life I always call out the bitches who claim to be nature and shit types voting green but buy stupid cheap shit all the time. I usually don't buy anything other than groceries but when I buy I buy quality.

>>514171735
nice

>>514169380
Dawg, it's the largest furniture manufacturer in the world and the largest furniture chain in North America, and has been that way for years. Don't be disingenuous.

>just spray pesticides where you eat
that's how you end up retarded like this finish guy

>buys $50 worth of lumber and some staining equipment from Home Depot
>build a useful table that will last 300 years if treated correctly
Problem, Ashley?

When boomers learn how to make memes

>>514173315
You don't have the ability, guaranteed. For $50 you'd only be able to buy 1 sheet of particle board and a hammer.

Ashley couches are garbage made in China that creak and sink within a couple of years. Get something locally made instead and save money

>>514167057 (OP)
Hmmm. I bought all new furniture there in March. Paid 800 for my couch, 200 for an end table, and 500 for a recliner. Thought it was fairly reasonable.

>>514173234
literally no one is telling you to put toxic shit on your table that is super easy to clean with just a cloth and some soap. If u are afraid of bugs hiding in cabinets and shit is where pesticides can be of use. But sure, buy new non-wood shit and pay big bucks for it, more "power" to you I guess, and less competition for me so it's all good

>>514173902
you overpaid by 2 times

>>514167057 (OP)

>implying /pol/ buys furniture

Most of us live our lives like the empty apartment meme

>>514173571
lol, you can get the lumber usually even for free (if aren't picky about some rare wood species you want to use) if you look around a bit, a table needs VERY LITTLE lumber

and buying tools used for $50 you can get pretty much a full kit (saw, drill, some chisels, handplane). Sure if you bought into "tools must be new" and "I only use cordless shit because I want to be dependent on crazy expensive batteries, why yes I work in my small workshop all the time and never do shit on the road how could you tell" faggotries life is hard and woodworking is fucking expensive.

>>514173902
800 for a couch is reasonable if it's actual thick leather with sturdy frame, otherwise you just bought shit as a clueless "customer" (sucker) and paid big bucks for the "privilege".
