My wife and I bought a bedroom furniture set from Ashley furniture around a month or so ago that we’ve had nothing but issues with. This dresser (~$1000), two nightstands (~$750 total), and a cal king bedframe (~$1000) were what we ended up with. We thought they’d be great and made out of solid wood, but things keep popping up every day.

The bedframe arrived scratched and the footboard has slowly come undone; the nightstand and dresser drawers are incredibly stiff and hard to close even after lubrication; the dresser drawers arrived cracked and with missing finish on two of them; the dresser drawers themselves are incredibly tiny.

We’ve reached out to Ashley about all of these issues, and their techs were a nightmare to deal with — constantly insulting us and complaining about their job, then breaking our furniture further and proceeding to order replacement parts. We’ve had multiple rounds of replacement parts arrive, and they’ve arrived broken beyond repair each time (cracked and split).

We’re at the point where we’re done with this stuff, and we’re looking for alternatives. We’d like some solid wood furniture with a similar aesthetic to this, preferably not astronomically more expensive. Any ideas? Would something like Thuma be good, or are they overpriced compared to other options out there?
