Sectional Sofa

I bought a leather sectional sofa from the Vaughan location 3 years ago. I chose this store over others because they were able to customize the sectional to fit my living room perfectly. That being said, that is the only good thing I have to say about this company. 8 months after buying the couch, padding became so warped in 2 spots that whoever sat there would sink into the wooden frame. Honouring their 1 year warranty, they replaced my sofa as I requested for more foam padding inside to avoid this issue again. Fast forward 2 years, I'm having the exact same issues not to mention the "leather" is ripping and cracking everywhere with springs sticking out of the bottom as well. Extremely disappointed with the quality and will never buy from this company again.

EDIT: We are a young married couple with no kids or pets. We are both of average weight and never had 2 people sitting on one spot or exceeding the 350 lbs maximum. We never jumped on the couch or had parties damaging the couch. I am not sure if you can call watching tv or playing video games "aggressive" treatment of the couch. The owner's defense is laughable.

The only reason I gave any stars is because their customer service did look into the issue initially. Although they did replace the defected sofa, what good is the replacement if it does not even last a few years??!! Waste of $2500 and now we are without a couch.

Company Response

This is Jason from Vaughan location. I was very sad to read this. First of all, we are able to custom made a couch without surcharge and when customer complains to us in warranty time, we honored our warranty. This should be considered very good in service and pricing. This customer only rates us for 2 of 10 which is very unfair to us. What else we can do better in turns of service ? and if you a merchant and between your suppliers and your customers, can you do better? Regarding the quality, I checked our service record and found acustomer matching the case and he lives in Wood bridge. His sectional couch was broken because of a party he had and his pets. He allows his kids jumping on the couch and allow pets to dig in the couch, then it is reason to cause the sectional damaged. After he complained to us, we sent our technician to his house and the technician reported back that this couch was abused heavily and it wasn't supposed to be coverd by our manufacture warranty but we stil decided to perform the repair service anyway to fulfill our service commitment. I won't be surpise that his couch will be further damaged after 3 years aggressive and uncareful usage. But when people write a review, he will never mention about this part. Another reason for the problem he mentioned is weight capacity. Due to its material and design, each couch has its weight limit. If there are 2 - 3 people whose total weight are more than 500 lbs sitting on the arm or one seat of the couch, it will cause foam padding gotten squeezed in that particular seat. This is what we consider abusing and unproper usage of a couch. Each seat weight capacity is 350 lbs. If you know there are more than 2 people will sit in one seat, you should let us know when you purchase the couch so we will use different density of foam to do support. One thing I hope everyone know here is we are a merchant between our customers and our suppliers. When problem happens, we will do our best to fix it and co-ordinate with the factory to satisfy our customer and this is why we have warranty system but we have no control about how people will use our couches. Even though the couch was damaged due to his misusing but he won't mention it in the review and this leave us a very unfair position. Here are another thing I want to bring to your attention. If you click his name and see the reviews he wrote for others, you will see all negative. All customer services from other companies are horrible. I guess he is a very negative person and he won't be easy to get satisfied. Like our case, even we honored our warranty and gave him good price for custom sectional sofa, we are still considered bad to him. But anyway, I guess everyone can say anything they want. All stories have two sides and I am very happy that I have a chance to explain our part. If you guys take a look our company's reviews in next 10 pages, at least one thing I guess you can find out is we do care about our reputation and our customer. Whenever people have problem with our product or service, we all performed reasonable care. We have 7 stores across Ontario and sold hundreds of orders every month in the past 6 years, 99% of customers are all happy with our products and services. There are always some people that can't be satisfied even we tried.

I bought sofa set 6 months ago, and I found my real leather was cut by
something after my kid’s birthday party, I really do not how to fix
it, and I tired ask help from them, at meanwhile, I understand this is
my fault, and I am ready to pay service. after I sent pictures and few
phone call, they asked me bring it back to their warehouse and they
will fix it for me, when I came back there to pick up, I checked, it
is like brand new, and most important thing is they provide free
repair service, I am a grateful people, I understand most company will
charge money for repair service, but their technician told me it is
not a big job, then they did not charge me any, I am very happy. I
really appreciate they are doing good job. And thanks that technician.

I just got my new sectionals from La Vie Furniture and I really love it! I had been shopping around for a while before I found this furniture store. Because I have a really long, narrow family room, so the regular size sectionals would not fit. It was a headache for me until I found La Vie Furniture. They said, all their sectionals can be fully customized, with the help of Long, who is the store manager, I finally bought a set customized sectional from them, and I got it last week, it fits perfectly! I will definitely recommend this store to my friends!

I hate shopping for anything that you have to go to a million stores and see what everybody has and how the prices are all crazy, etc but I do have patience for this store after I found them from internet.

This is a great store, I would like to buy my whole house furniture from them!
few months ago, I bought custom sofa from them, I was anxious buy something from picture, but their sales person is very professional to convent me to made order, and thanks their explanation with patience, and when I saw my custom order, nice orange color, same what I expected, same like picture. They did not let me down. They are only company I know offer custom option, and no additional custom fee, if you looking something unique, this is a place should visit.

Tired to furnishing my new condo, my friend recommend this company to me, I like they can make anything I want, I requested a stitching style on my sofa, because this is real leather, I do not want to wrinkle too much after. They kept their word, and provide a good service after I notice there is a leg is crack, they explained to me, because this solid wood leg, then might cause crack on painting but will not affect durability, and they still sent technician at next day to do exchange for me and left another leg for me for future use, I am a happy with spend money in this company, it is worth.

I travel from waterloo to purchase an Italian leather sofa from them, even take some time to do delivery this custom order, but I am very happy with workmanship, especially Italian leather, very soft. Excellent company, better than most company I saw in my living area, reasonable price.

compact sectional

I just want to tell people, they are good at customization. I have a small family room but I really need a small sectional ,BCZ, for sofa set, it is kind of wasting my limited space if I put either an end table between sofa and chair or just leave it empty. So, I talked to Chuck, a tall salesman, he was very patient to help me with my plan, then he help me to get a small compact sectional. I have got my sectionals for a while, and they are perfect in both size and quality. They are a good choice of customization, if you have similar situation like me. Hoping my experience can help you guys.

Sofa sectional

If you are looking for good quality and attention to detail, do not buy from this store. Our sectional couch has so many flaws that (I can upload pictures), they failed to acknowledge them. They kept blaming the leather but when you have creases and dimples in your leather, I don't think the cow is to blame. How it looks in the store is not how it will arrive. Avoid at all costs.

Company Response

Here is our part of story.
This customer ordered this couch in 2012 which is last year and he complained there was some imperfection on the leather part. We explained to the customer that it was made by natural cow leather and it won't be perfect. We also re-ordered a new piece for the customer on our cost and provided him 300 $ cash discount and he accepted. As a merchant, we performed reasonable care and did the best we can do. We are between our supplier and our customers and every time when problem happens, we strike our best to satisfy both parties by offering replacement piece or discount. According to my understanding and comparing with other competitors, we have done the best we could do as a business. I was shocked when I see this. He was so happy when he took 300$ from me and thanked me for the service.

SECTIONAL

I bought an L shape sectional from La Vie Furniture, but they didn’t have the one I saw on their website, but the sales person showed me a similar one in their showroom and explained all the different parts in details. Honestly speaking, I did feel a little worried about this, because it was my first time to buy things without seeing it in person, but I decided to trust that guy, his name is Long. when I received my sectional yesterday, I was satisfied with all aspects, the color and the piping all look perfect , I will definitely recommend my friends to them, because they have so many collections that I like , and they can be trusted.

Sofas

I bought a sofa set in fabric 8 weeks ago, but my model in their showroom is in leather, the problem for me is that I am not sure whether the fabric ones will be as perfect as they have in leather. When I received my sofas, the first thing I did is to check all the corners and arms in order to make sure they are good enough. Well at least I am satisfied with that. I don’t want to say how beautiful their furniture is. But at least they are an honest furniture store. And they can do their job as what they say. By the way, I will introduce my friends to them for sure.
