Great experience at Value City Furniture purchasing my couch and love seat. Wonderful group of people. Travis Caplinger was my sales man. He was extremely helpful, professional, and attentive. Highly recommend him. My service man Mike M. Was extremely knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. Highly recommend him as well. He takes care of any issues and repairs and does an amazing job!

We had such an amazing shopping experience. Travis was so helpful and helped us get a great deal. Even after our initial purchase we called and needed to change one piece we had originally picked but realized we needed the other piece instead. Travis made it seem effortless and accommodating while swapping it out for us. Give that guy a raise. Thank you for the service.

Customer service representatives are all very friendly and helpful. I took my dad in today to shop for a new mattress we were greeted as soon as we entered the building. Travis the initial representative to approach us very polite friendly helpful guided us to the area we needed to be in and explained he was currently working with another customer at the time. As we were looking at mattresses and waiting for Travis to be able to help us Scott walked by asked if he could help us in anyway and got us started on our purchase. Then Travis finished the sale along with help from Tiffany once we completed that transaction Travis also was very knowledgeable and helpful in the selection of new living room furniture. This is the second time I’ve personally dealt with Travis he’s done an amazing job both times with walking me through the process will definitely be purchasing furniture again from value city and Travis thank you so much

Stopped in to begin a search for new furniture today. I was met at the front by Bridget Behn. She was a delightful young lady to deal with in several ways. Great smile, friendly and warm, well spoken, knowledgeable, attentive to my expressed needs, and willing to take time with me to go through the inventory and answer all of my questions. After hearing what I was looking for, she showed me several options and I believe gave sound advice on each group of furniture we looked at. I felt very comfortable working with her as she was not pushy and did not try to lead me into something more than what I was looking for. I didnt purchase from her today due to the wait time it would be for my furniture set. This is not her issue at all, it seems to be industry wide thing. I would definitely recommend seeing her if you are looking to buy new for your home. Thank you Bridget for your time and professionalism, you do a great job for Value City!

I just purchased a new couch set, and Belinda Fetty was so kind and helpful! My husband and I had very specific wants and needs. Belinda was very knowledgeable, and helped us find something that fits perfectly into our home. I cant wait to receive our new furniture. I will contact Belinda in the future when I finally decide to get that lamp I love so much!!

Great experience both past and present with Value City Furniture products. We have purchased couches, dining sets and mattresses that have lasted for YEARS. Our current dining set has last for over 15yrs!This evening we had another great experience updating our couch and loveseat. Our salesman, Travis, was helpful thoughtful and genuinely interested in our unique preferences. He allowed us to freely shop without pressure and gave us honest tips from differing prospectives.

Went to look at furniture on the first day. Bridget was great to work with. She showed us around, gave us all the pros and cons on the furniture, it was a good experience overall and she was very helpful. When we went buy to purchase the furniture Bridget was off but Travis filled in excellently. It was a smooth transition dealing with him and in addition to the furniture we looked at with Bridget, he helped us choose wall art. He bundled our items up and stored them in the back for shipping. It was greatly appreciated. He was super patient as we took 3 separate transactions to round up everything we wanted.Manager Tony was also helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for furniture.

My husband and I do not typically leave reviews, however today we purchased a bedroom set from Value City. Immediately upon entering, we were warmly greeted by Travis Caplinger, and the journey began!!! Travis, in the most professional way, helped guide us towards exactly what we were wanting. He knew when to check in with us, and when to give us space to deliberate... the latter being a very underutilized and underrated quality in a salesman. Traviss knowledge was as vast as his patience during our decision making process. Overall we were very pleased with his kindness and impressed with the ease of his craft. Travis made this one of the most fun and pleasent purchasing experiences we have had!

I had a special order in color and lounge chair and couch that were made of feather down. Needless to say theyve done an upgrade since then. Tiffany I just want to say thank you for putting up with all them nasty phone calls from me and for doing such a bang-up job making me a satisfied customer. The 3-month weight was worth it. And I am more than pleased with the work that Value City furniture did I must say you strive in excellence.

I was extremely sceptical about buying a love seat from any place, due to the fact that I am picky about the color and fabric feel. I decided to go to Value City Furniture and I had Travis Caplinger help me find exactly what I was looking for at a good price. Travis was the nicest and most helpful sales person I have talked to in years.

We went in shopping for a new mattress and had pretty well made up our mind, but wanted to check out sales as well. We were met at the door by Bridget Behn, who was friendly and gave us space to shop at our own pace, while also looking to see when she could get us what we wanted. She was very helpful and pleasant to work with and I would purchase from her again in the future.

5 Star experience with Nick Sargent. This person really helped our family with a couple issues we had with our contract (we relocated during our contract-and needed to change pick up location). He made everything stress free and got our contract corrected quickly! Amazing service. Thank you SO much for your help today Nick!! Cant thank him enough!! I hope a manager sees this because he saved our family from a lot of unnecessary stress and he deserves a raise! These times are high stress for everyone. Nick was kind, helpful and understanding. What more can you ask for?! Thank you again Nick and VCF! You have a 5 star employee there!UPDATE: I am re-reviewing this store as I waited 3 months to receive a couch I ordered with Linda who ordered the wrong ottoman!! I was not concerned with the wait time at all due to Covid. My main concern was receiving the wrong ottoman and wrong color couch.. I ordered the Collin Modular Sectional in a solid Charcoal WITH the ottoman and I received the Ethan Ottoman in a totally different color (NO ONE caught the mistake). I also received the couch in a non solid dark gray color. I am very unhappy with this store. When I called they acted as if it was really no big deal. The rep even laughed about the mistake. Extremely unprofessional and unpleasant experience.

My fiance and I went in looking for bedroom furniture, Scott was the first to approach us. We had sorta decided on what we wanted but wanted to talk about it. We went back a few days later and Bridget approached us showed us a few things and I asked for Scott (I am the type that likes to do business with the same person, especially if it has to do with commission) he was on lunch. When he came back they agreed to split commission and we ordered the bed and dresser that I absolutely fell in love with. They were both super helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend either of them. They will work with you and try to find you the best deals. 💜💛

Scott Montgomery and Nick Sargent were very heplful, even though i had 4 young children with me, who were very exited to be there. They were still very attentive, helped me find what i needed, scott didnt just point me in a direction, like another associate did, Scott took me to what i was looking for and helped me until i was satisfied with a product. I will be going back. Thanks to both of you.

We needed to find end tables the day we were shopping, rather than waiting for them to arrive in. Bridget was amazing and showed us all the pieces we were able to take with us that day. She was very attentive and a great help! I highly recommend her to anyone that is shopping at the Parkersburg store.

We went in for a living room set and were not disappointed in the quality of what we found, though due to COVID it will take us a bit longer to get the furniture than we had planned. Bridget helped us and was a delight to work with. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to show us comparable sets and understanding exactly what we wanted. We would definitely work with her again.

Belinda ( I hope I spelled her name right) is amazing to work with! She’s super helpful but not pushy, let’s face it everyone hates walking into a furniture store bc usually the salesmen are so pushy and stock you around but Belinda wasn’t like that. She checked on me from time to time and answered all my questions! We will see how well the furniture holds up but you can’t deal with anyone better than Belinda or her manager! Def recommend for great customer service!For some reason google wont let me leave another review so I’m adding to my original one but this review is for Mike in the warehouse. Talk about professional personal! He calls before he comes and very knowledgeable and super nice! The part took awhile to come in and when he came to put it in it was the wrong part, but that has nothing to do with him as a worker. That was frustrating, but customer service was Mike couldn’t be any more nice and professional!

Never do the acceptance now option. Figured out its charging you 60% interest and paying over double when your done, it wasnt on the bill and caught it after said items should have been paid off, called and found out what the interest was and paid it off. Company not worth doing business with.

My wife and I recently purchased bunk beds from Value City Furniture in Parkersburg, WV. We were very impressed with the sales staff, specifically Karissa, who was very knowledgeable about all of the products that we were interested in. She explained very well the different options/configurations that were available in the bunk beds (trumble vs drawers and ladder versus stairs) that we were looking at. She also was very helpful in picking out a mattress. She made the process of purchasing very simple. She explained the optional warranty that we elected to purchase. One of the selling points is that if the warranty is not needed by the end of the time period, the value of the warranty is able to be converted to store credit which my wife and I thought was a nice selling point. Overall, our experience was very positive. We came to the store expecting to just gather information to help us eventually make our purchase in a few weeks. Karissa was so knowledgeable and helpful that we felt confident enough to make our purchase today, and we’re very glad we did. Karissa was very honest and we valued her recommendations. She made us feel good about the purchases we made. We recommend Value City Furniture in Parkersburg to anyone in the market for new furniture. I’m sure all of the sales staff are great, but if she’s available, ask for Karissa!

Excellent customer service and sales. They did not bombard me at the door but were super helpful and did not push anything on me that I did not want. Not only did they help me get a discount but I also got the exact mattress I wanted and it was by 1 get 1 free. A FREE TEMPERTIC MATRESS. The delivery is aboitn10-14 days, which i cant complain about. Couldnt be happier. I was in and out in 30 minutes.Travis caplinger and Nick sargent were absolutely professional and helpful. Thanks so much

The first two places we shopped for a loveseat we were told “we don’t carry those on the floor. Whatever couches we have, we can get a loveseat for you.” Buy without sitting on it? No thanks! Value City Parkersburg had a large variety of furniture, including loveseats. We found exactly the loveseat we were looking for. Travis was helpful but didnt follow us around like a puppy as at many other places. He answered questions, offered us options, and walked us through buying. The loveseat with chaise we bought will replace a loveseat and chair we bought at VC Parkersburg almost 49 years ago. Full circle! We will also buy a dining room set there later this year.

I never post anything about stores, small business ect, because I understand things happen. This I feel is on a different level.We came in and chose a mattress for our home in late March we bought it out right. There were manufacturer faulties. (The springs were broken in the middle of the mattress)I called and asked if we could exchange it, value city said yes you can, you have the sleep night guarantee. That was that. I got out trailer together put the mattress on it and headed to value city (mind you Im a little over an hour away) when I arrived they told us that the person on the phone should have told us they need to come inspect the mattress before it can be returned. I said okay what are our options? They said they would let us exchange it this one time.We went and picked out a bed and they said it wouldnt be in until April 15. Okay thats fine, we needed a bed. April 14th rolls around and I get a phone call stating that out mattress wouldnt arrive until May 4rth now. We told them that we wanted a refund. After buying a $600 mattress, trying to do an exchange and then for them to tell us that they dont do refunds just store credit. Okay, whatever well wait until May 4rth. Today rolls around and we are told its not going to be here until June now!!! We had to call in to see if it was ready to pick up today, we did not get a phone call! I am beyond livid, about how we have been treated!

We had an excellent experience at Value City Furniture in Parkersburg west Virginia. We recently moved to Ohio looking for furniture for our new home . We were greeted at the door and helped with any questions when we needed help. The selection of furniture was amazing and well priced. Belinda was so helpful and the rest of the staff as well. I am a Veteran and was so happy to see they are honoring Veterans now with discounts. Also during the increased spike of coronavirus cases they made sure only people with masks entered. If you want to furniture shop in a relaxing and safe environment this is the place to go! The Furniture at this store is beautiful! I also want to thank John and Nick (Sales manager) I really appreciate everything you do! This is our new Favorite store! We will be back! Thank You!

They ordered the correct matress king size but then ordered the base in a queen size! They are acting as if this is my fault and like I am inconveniencing them. Very unprofessional and insensitive. Now I get to wait yet another three weeks. No offer of a discount or anything on another bed or something else to sleep on until mine comes in, just its human error and that it wasnt done maliciously Be sure to ask to see their computer screen before they order so that YOU can make sure THEY do the job correctly that they do everyday.

Friendly staff, large inventory. The prices are low, but the quality of the furniture reflects that. It looks really good now, but close inspection reveals cardboard backs on a lot of wood pieces and upholstered furniture built with partical board and cardboard instead of plywood like better pieces are. I dont think it will hold up as well.
