I am comparing for brand new furniture purchase only Craigslist excluded. Overall, we've been happy with the purchase.
Everything has held up well so far and still looks great. The price was reasonable as well. I think their quality varies and some furniture there is not all that great while other pieces are fine or even good. Most of the furniture in our home has been purchased at other places; Ashley just happened to have a dining set we liked. Our experience with that one set has been positive. It still looks brand new.
The sales are all gimmicky, so just monitor the prices for a few weeks to get an idea of what the real cost is. I would not consider them high quality by any means. When compared to raymour or ethan allen you can feel the difference, but I'm satisfied enough for the price. Same thing goes for american signature furniture. Hoping the bedroom set lasts forever. I've also been very happy with Ikea couches.
I bought 2 leather sofas from them in and they are still going strong. They weren't bottom of the line ikea crap. The dog and cat scratched up the "pleather" furniture. The wood furniture 3 pieces had the veneer separate from shelves and front. In other words we aren't that happy with the quality. Maybe you won't be so hard on it as we have been.
They haven't been delivered yet, so I can't speak to quality. But Ashley was the only store where we found a table of the size and style we were looking for. The price was pretty decent as well. The set is still in good shape. We went back a few months later for a couch and I found their couches to be uncomfortable and cheap.
If I was looking for another table and chairs, I would buy from them again. We have several local furniture companies that I've supported in the past. Some are specialty stores e.

Re: Ashley Furniture Post by Jill07 » Tue Nov 04, pm As others have mentioned, you really can find some great deals on Craigslist, especially if you are looking for a dining room set. There are a lot of people downsizing and they just want to get rid of stuff. Many dining room sets have only been used on special occasions and are usually in very good condition. You can also pick up an entire set of china too.
It's well made, solid stuff and the original pieces have held up since the s. Usually several hundred dollars for each piece on ebay, except the little pieces are less, of course. Not terrible stuff, generally looks OK, cheap not quality construction. Good furniture costs. It's one of those things that it is cheaper not to develop a taste for, like good wine and prime beef. If you do make it one of the things that you spend money on- good furniture will last forever, will still look good when it gets dinged, and might end up valued by your heirs.
Ashley is not good quality stuff. Antique furniture is selling at bargain prices these days. Not sure why, but that's what I would suggest. At least take a look at consignment shops in your area. Maybe even thrift shops in wealthy neighborhoods.

The better brands provide a "specifications sheet" giving details on how the piece was made. There's nothing on Ashley "quality" other than some marketing video which is meaningless. Personally I avoid Criagslist, partly for security reasons and partly because of the possibility of fleas and bed bugs. I would never buy from a hotel liquidator or a flea market. Mattresses should be bought new and sealed in plastic, and preferably not delivered in the same trucks that haul away old mattresses.
I like the high end consignment shops, since the furniture is better quality, and sometimes brand new, as they get dealer overstocks. The better furniture dealers and consignment shops are acutely aware of the bed bug issue, and they do inspect anything coming in. But of course, you will never hear them breathe a word of this.
