I would never shop at Slumberland again. They are deceitful in their advertising.

My wife said she wanted to buy 2 Lazyboy recliners and she found what she wanted at Slumberland in Bloomington, Minnesota. She showed me the add in the newspaper. The add said Sale $299 and in big print 40% off. I calculated the price and told my wife it would be $179.

She said no, the price is $249. I look the ad over and saw in small print it said 60% off list price, so I concluded the $299 was not the list price. I told my wife this was deceitful. You see the large price listed then you see the large 60% off.

So we went to the store. We spent about an hour setting in different chairs. Finally decided on one that had a tag on it that said $349 Final price. We told the clerk we wanted that chair.

We noticed the one next to it for the same price was about an inch closer to the ground. I told the clerk I wanted to make sure the one we got was the taller one. She said that would be $50 more. I said the price tag on that particular chair said $349.

She said it is $50 more because the rocker platform under it had a board that was about 1 in wider. I said this was false advertising. The chair has a price tag on it that says $349, so that is what I should pay. This was deceitful.

She said she would get the manager Greg Tangen. When he came he said ... so you want to talk to me. I said not really, I just wanted to buy the chair for the price marked on it.

He said we couldn't it was $50 more. I said this was false advertising. If the price is $399 instead of $349, the price tag on the chair should say that. I said this is false advertising.

He said the tag is not advertising. I got so frustrated that I had spent an hour of my time comparing various chairs and features and finally coming to the conclusion of what I wanted then to have the store tell me I was wrong because they couldn't sell me the chair for the price on it. I would never, never shop in Slumberland again and I encourage everyone else to stay away from them.

I also do not respect the store manager Greg Tangen for putting the miss leading price tag on the chair, then arguing with me that I was wrong and he was right. Stay away from Slumberland

If you had purchased the chair as it sat on the floor it would have been for the price on the tag. But since you wanted to change the base of the chair you had to buy the new base. Kinda seems elementary to me that if the new base costs $50 it would be $50 more than the price on the tag.
