I would pass on Lancer. I filed a complaint on their website. I received a reply back: feb 6 Good morning Patricia, I do apologize for the inconvenience you are having with the product. Do you mind providing the style of the products you purchased and the retail store you purchased the products from? You would need to contact them so we can properly get resolve your issues with the furniture. Best Regards, Glendon Mabe Human Resources/Purchasing Director Lancer Inc. 135 Lancer Drive Star, NC 27356 O: 910.428.2181 C: 336.267.0229 I have replied right 2/7/23 with pictures of my 6000.00 receipt. No Reply My follow up EMAIL 1 Please contact me to discuss our options. There are many defects with this sectional-including the build, (one piece is shorter than the others), the support, the cushions (they are sagging and creases already), and the corners cave in. It is so uncomfortable. I need these issues addressed. Patti at the store has ordered more stuffing and has scheduled to come out on her own time to try to assist. Ian was here and totally dismissed us as idiots, told us there would be a charge for him to come out if the cushions were on wrong. He came out the cushions were on right. We tried to tell him our complaints and he just insisted over and over that this is what we ordered.Sincerely, Patricia No Reply I called him, he said he would speak with the story and call me back. No Call back Email 2 2nd attempt . Please see previous email. Patricia Email 3: Hello Mr Mabe, I have not received a follow up email regarding my complaint about the Lancer Sectional that I purchased from one of your retailers. My number is 585 ……. When we spoke last you were going to follow up with me after contacting the store. I spent over $6000 on this sectional and I hate it. Maybe perhaps I have to take another route? Please advise.

I don't have personal experience living with it but I know someone who does. The pieces are well made and lovely. It isn't factory-made furniture, so you do have to pay for the skill and labor involved. There's no way to say whether the prices that are being quoted to you are reasonable or not. "Retail" varies. Stores set prices that work with their overheard and profit margin requirements. You might want to track down Duane Collie the owner of The Keeping Room furniture store. He sells furniture from J.L. Treharn and other cabinetmakers. I have purchased upholstered furniture from him and found his prices to be very reasonable (that doesn't necessarily mean inexpensive) and his customer service is second to none.

Even after reading many reviews on Canadel, I'm still not sure what to do. Perhaps it depends on the color/finish on the table. Some options offered are stains, while others look more like a painted finish. The other brand we looked at is Gascho, Amish, made in America. Altho it appears we have lots of space for a table, we have only about 7 feet between the island and where the carpeting starts in the family room. We need to have the table close to the island in order to have "good traffic flow".
