Recliner Shopping & Customer Service

Brad And Hall, in particular George & Stephine. My coach only had a sofa & one recliner swivel rocker when we bought it. Always wanted to get a second Flexsteel Recliner in color matching Ultraleather. Then I was struck with a rare auto-immune disease, CIDP. I have rehab'ed since where I can get into and out of the coach and safely drive it. But for me to get into and out of "Low" seat heights, i.e., recliners, they have to be stable, no swivel and no rocking. What an Odessy of Recliner shopping with companies acting like they don't need the business, especially in today's economy. In particular Flexsteel & their retailers -- Shame on Them!

One morning I was reading one of my RV magazines and I saw Brad and Hall advertisement. I checked out their website which further peaked my interest. So I called their 1-800 phone number & got ahold of "George!!!" Lucky me, old school Customer Service oriented gentleman. I explained to George my medical situation and Flexsteel Ultraleather Recliner needs ($1,450+++). He asked if I had looked at the "Other Recliners" on their Website, in particular Amish built Lambright, I had not, which I very quickly DID!!! Geesh, $300 - $400 Cheaper which appealed to me. In talking to George, he assured me of the quality of the Amish Built Lambright and that it was one of their better selling chairs. He sold me. The next problem was Ultraleather texture &
color matching to my existing 15 year old Flexsteel recliner. My better half & I wound up turning the flexsteel upside down and cut a small sample out and sent it to George at Brad and Hall. Within 5 business days we received a call from Stephine (George's Helper) who did the color match. Again, Customer Servive in the highest,
Stephine explain each chair is made to order and would take about 4 weeks to make, and 1 week to ship out here to the west coast. Arrived yesterday exacting on time, very well packed/boxed for shipping, with No Damage.

I am more than impressed with the quality and workmanship and design of the Lambright Recliner. As well as the Old School Customer Service of George & Stephine at Brad and Hall. You just don't see that anymore.
  • they also have the magic sofa bed which replaces a dreadful jack knife sofa.

  • Have done a couple of deals with Bradd & Hall and have been very satisfied. They have some good deals in their close out department. They can also do custom cabinet upgrades for LCD & LED TV's.
  • My wife recently purchased a computer table from Bradd and Hall. Our experience was also very positive. We're full-timers. Since they build to order, it would take a few weeks for us to get the table. We knew we would be moving before the table shipped.

    They told us "No problem, when you get situated, give us your new address. We'll hold the table until we hear from you". Great service - and she loves her new portable computer table.
  • Nice to see a positive post on here about quality and service. Hearing that they can color match is also nice to know. We have bought some recliners in the past and just purchased what was close to the same color.
  • Although I have never dealt directly with them as of yet, I've always heard that they were a decent place to deal with. A friend of mine in Illinois just recently dealt with them and was pleased as well. Always good to hear reports of GOOD customer service, a thing that is unfortunately becoming fewer and further apart these days.
