If you‘re researching Flexsteel furniture before you buy, you may have tried to discover what other consumers think about their products.

After all, you can probably trust real people who risked their own money and bought Flexsteel furniture. Who has more valuable firsthand experience of what the furniture looks and feels like, years after it leaves the store? Who better to listen to than the consumers who use Flexsteel sofas and recliners every day? These people don’t have any reason to sugar coat their opinions, so they can be a great resource to help you make your buying decisions.

Where Are The Reviews Hiding?

But, if you have been searching for reviews and discussions about Flexsteel’s sofas, recliners and sectionals, you may have quickly become frustrated. Why? Because it turns out that there just aren’t that many great places to find reviews for Flexsteel â€" or of any furniture companies for that matter. Unlike hotels, electronics, and cars, there just are that many places where you can discuss and review furniture for your home or office.

What a travesty!

Can’t Find Something Nice To Say?

A few words about the negative reviews you will encounter. No product on the planet solely gets glowing, five star, everyone-loves-me reviews. But, this is just fine because negative reviews that are accurate will alert you to the shortfalls of a product. All products have some negative features and it’s fair and reasonable to discuss these on the web. The bottom line is simple: does the product I’m looking at have more bad reviews than its competitors in the same price range? And are there trends in these bad reviews that make me want to run away screaming?

Finding Information In An Electronic Haystack

The good news is that I have found a few websites where you can find some honest reviews and discussions about Flexsteel. There aren’t many, but these will help:

ths.gardenweb.com/forums/furniture/ (this currently has the most reviews and discussions)
&
http://www.buzillions.com
&
[http://www.viewponts.com]

Check out these sites and search for “Flexsteel”, “Flexsteel Recliners”, “Flexsteel Dylan”, “Flexsteel Latitudes” and so on, depending on exactly what kind of reviews or discussions you are looking for. You’ll find quite a few good comments and threads about Flexsteel, going back several years.

If these three sites don’t fill up your information tank, Google “Flexsteel Reviews,” “Flexsteel Discussions,” or “Flexsteel Details” to find more.

My Take?

After reading many of the reviews about Flexsteel, as well as other brands like Ashley, Broyhill, Magnussen and Aspehome that exist in the same space, it seems that Flexsteel reviews are as just as good if not better than those of their competitors. All the successful major brands offer good quality and warranties because they have to compete in a competitive and crowded marketplace.

In my opinion, your choice of what to buy will probably come down to your budget, personal tastes, and which retailer seems to offer the best combination of price and service.

In fact, who you buy from might be the most important choice you will make in this process. Many of the negative reviews you read about Flexsteel, and other brands, are actually about customer service at brick and mortar stores, not the brand itself. Flexsteel has been business since 1893 â€" the same year the zipper was invented â€" so they must know something about making good products that keep their customers happy.
