Hamilton Reversible Storage Sectional
-
Price: $899.00
The second piece of furniture on this roundup is the Hamilton reversible storage sectional with a pullout bed. Currently, the sectional holds a 3.9 rating on the Sam’s Club website with 126 one-star reviews.
One reviewer known as KT wrote a critical review of the sectional. Complaints included the sectional arriving late to their residence and the pullout bed collapsing, along with struggling to communicate with both Sam’s Club and the warranty provider, Abbyson.
“I purchased this couch in Nov 2020 and it didn’t arrive until Dec 2020. The pullout couch/bed portion collapses. I completed all the necessary measures to get this fixed and noticed it had a one-year warranty from Abbyson. Abbyson had a technician come out and confirm that the couch was in fact broken. It’s now Jan 2020 and we still don’t have a couch that works,” wrote KT.
They continued, “I have had horrible communication with both Abbyson and Sam’s Club regarding follow-up. I also feel like my warranty should start over once I get a couch that works.”
