I purchased a sofa and chair from a furniture store about 18 months ago. I chose the England brand furniture because I was told about their exceptional quality. Unfortunately, the fabric and cushions are wearing pre-maturely. The fabric is tearing and the cushions are loosing their shape. England refuses to acknowledge the tearing because the 1 year warranty has expired. They are looking into the cushion problem. I never had this problem with any other brand of living room furniture I purchased over the last 35 years.

    My Grandfather started England Furniture back in 1964
    and I assure you he would not be happy with how Lazy Boy
    Furniture treats their Customers. My Family sold the Business
    to Lazy Boy a few years back and since then the Company
    has went down hill.

    If my Family still owned the Company this would not be going
    on they took care of their Customers in days past.
    I'am ashamed to have my Last name on Furniture
    that is built so poorly.

    I wish you all luck in resolving your matters with
    this Company but like I said if my Family
    were still running things you would get Satisfaction!

      If this is Mr England Sr., his English is terrible. I thought that he would be better educated.

      B8V6Dear Mr. England,
      I just can't tell you how thoroughly disgusted I am with the England Sofa we bought.  The furniture store
      assured us it was made in USA and quality!!  Fabric pills, cushions crush into the back, springs are not centered (more to the left, so the right side really sags, and I got the plastic seat thing that is advertised on TV
      that Sumu wrestlers can sit on and you don't sink, it works, and now also have cushions with coil springs in
      them and it is some better, but why won't England stand behind their product.  They gave me a song and a
      dance about I would have to pay to have England pick up the sofa, return it to TN, and pay again to have it
      delivered back.  I asked repeatedly for a Rep to come and check it out, and no one even had the courtesy to
      call and find out what the problems were.  Forget the furniture store, those people should close their store.
      Quick to take your money, but when the problems start, they offer no help. Plastic cording around the cushions
      is cheap and poke thru the fabric,  So embarrassing.  Just wish products that are made in USA should be
      considerably better than the ones made abroad, but now I am seeing why the stuff made outside the US
      IS better than what is made here.  England has No Quality control.  Now we are stuck with a real lemon.

      Just saw this and had to comment. I will never in my life time purchase another piece of anything made by Lazy Boy. The quality off the product and customer service has absolutely gone to the dogs. I had Lazy Boy for 25 years and still in excellent condition when I gave the furniture to my son when he moved out. I bought new Lazy Boy pieces. Well over 6000.00 worth. Two years later, my new furnituris literally turning to yellow dust. The arms of the chairs are down to wood and seat cushions are flat. Just garbage. The mechanisms seem fine and the fabric is still decent but wearing due to no padding left. I believe that the England family may have had quality products and service but Lazy Boy is rip off!!!!!!!

        I was wondering if you know if the England furniture is still any good, I just got some today,  well ordered it, and it seemed so sound to me with all the checking it out and everything I was not happy when I went out to Lasy Boy which I had for over 12 years and was very happy with that but it seems like I saw worse complaints on the site of Lasy Boy I took out a extra warrenty and I did all the things on the furniture that one furniture website told me to do and I got a good quality fabric I am wondering if these people are just complaining or if they are right I thought since your grandfahter started the company you might know more as to how it is doing now?  I heard of it but use to get Ashley knowing it was not going to last real long but the store I went to sold it so cheap and I got a good couple of years out of it but I know that went downhill so much now also.  

        and I think Lasy boy did also So I got this since I was getting the best deal  Just asking I know they looked study to me more so than the Lasy Boy did and they had to couch and loveseat combo I was looking at Lasy boy at the same store just curious if you know anything?  any information would be helpfu.

        I purchased an England years ago possibly 2003 . Loved it. Bought one last year and it's nothing but heartache. Wish your family still owned it. Not satisfaction either with the company.

      we purchased sofa in October '08 and had techs to the house first for staples sticking out in all directions (ouch!!!) then two more times since due to cushion distorting and back losing its shape. and the wonderful sinking feeling you get on a 20 year old sofa in only 2 months!!!! NOT happy with product or service!!!

      We purchased a sectional sofa in August '08.  Almost immediately we noticed two areas where that material is frayed and pulling away from the cushions, and the cushions losing shape.  I have made numerous attempts to contact the store (which is now perminently CLOSED DOWN) to have repairs made. We have also sent pictures and emails. With each attempt, I am met with either no return call, or a false promise that the cushions have been reordered.  We are still under warranty and are still not getting met with any assistance.  I am truly sickened over the fact that we spent good money on a highly flawed product, store, and service.  DO NOT BUY PRODUCTS FROM ENGLAND FURNITURE!! I have never been so dissatisfied with a product!  Shame on England Furniture for scamming people!

      We also bought England brand furniture from Art Van in Michigan. We bought a chair, sleeper sofa, and ottoman.  All 3 have been repaired at least once.  The chair cushion was repaired on the first visit and the repairman added a cushion to help the sinking feeling.  The piping on the ottoman has come out 2x.  The sofa tore in the seam down the middle of the back and repaired today.  I too notice the fabric is wearing.  The furniture we replaced was 15 year old Broyhill.  We wish we had it back now.

      I was considering a beautiful arm chair and ottoman from England and have chosen the fabric, but I think not!!  Thank you for your comments - I think you saved me serious disappointment.

      About 2-1/2 years ago, I purchased a sofa, two chairs and a recliner from England Furniture. Given that it is not high quality furniture, I have been fairly pleased with all but the sofa. The cushions are awful and I have been in the market for a new sofa ever since. Every time you get up, the cushions are out of shape and squished down and we are not heavy people. I cannot sit on it without getting a backache and I am embarrassed to have anyone else sit on it. The fabric is of very poor quality too. I would never purchase upholstered fabric from England again. Unfortunately, it is very hard to find reasonably priced, quality anything these days!

      Me & my wife purchased New England brand couch & loveseat almost 10 years ago & we also have always have had problems with cushions loosing shape & flatning out within 2 weeks!! Manufacture has replaced 6 times! They never hold up-- manufacture kept stating did not know of any reason? Their cushions are not solid core!! This has been problem since day one! We have been shopping are now for new couch & love seat--they are only one we have found to have design we like--was informed by Furniture Fair Store & Riley's that manufacture changed to solid core design, we sat on new design cushion & is 100 % better. We have ordered new couch & love seat & are going to take a change. We are calling manufacture & Riley's furniture any problems will result in complaint.. <<Jeff
