I would think it cen depend on your budget and the type of use it will be getting. There is definitley a market our there for lower end furniture, and much higher end.

We purchased a couch and love seat there about three years ago.  Still in very good shape.  Has held up well.

My son bought a couch and ottoman from Bob's. Paid for their "white glove" treatment. The ottoman developed a seam that was coming a hole. With this "wg" option they would repair anything for free.. Well, here comes a guy that clearly doesn't have any seamstress qualities. He "repaired" the ottoman pretty much how a monkey would. Horrible. I would NEVER purchase anyting from this second place store. Yuck.

Never heard of Bob's Furniture.

Keeping in mind you get what you pay for, I'd rate them 7 out of 10 points. Not great quality, but a good value for the price.

I don't own any of their products but I would like to give them praise for their humanitarian efforts. I volunteer at a shelter that helps people get back on their feet and Bob's has donated truckloads mattresses for years.

I can't speak to the quality, but a while back I wanted to start scouting around  for a new sofa and looked at the offerings. I found them very limited in terms of style, color and fabric. There was nothing to my liking so I moved on. My sense was their merchandise fills a niche but this is not fine furniture.

We purchased our living room suite (sofa, loveseat, oversize chair, ottoman) from Bob's about 10 years ago.  It's held up very well - and it is the furniture we use daily.  My daughter purchased her bedroom suite from Bob's for her first apartment over 5 years ago and, after 2 moves, it still looks good and functions like new.  The furniture is reasonable priced - it's not Ethan Allen/Pennsylvania House quality, but it's not Sauder either.  I'd recommend Bob's for sure.

Did your son call to complain about the repair?  What did they say if he did, did they try to make it right?

If he didn't call them again to request it be done over then that's on him.

If you replace your furniture every four to five years, then yeah, Bob's Furniture is an ok place to buy as any other place.  What I don't like is buying furniture that can't be delivered into my home and placed where I want it.  Places like Hayneedle and Wayfair deliver that sort of furniture that the delivery won't come into your home.

Quality Furniture is really hard to get.  I always consider the density of the cushions for seating.
