I visited this store for the first time a day ago with a friend who had a gift card. She picked out a few things and was then told that if she wanted to use a gift card she would be charged 50% more than the marked price for the items. What a sleazy sales practice! I wonder if they have any idea that they lost a sale that day as well as future sales. I was also looking to buy a new sofa. We left and went to American Furniture Warehouse where I found a nice sofa for about one third the price of similar sofas at Ashley HomeStore.
