Verified ReviewerPoor purchase/return experioence
In 2012, we furnished our home from Frontgate. We had an excellent experience.
We spent over $50,000 at that time. The quality was great, and the customer service was even better. This year, we needed to replace the cushions on all of the outdoor furniture. Frontgate did not have exact replacements, so we ordered the highest quality, closest match.
When we unboxed them, they were not high quality. They were covered with thin cloth that would not last a year, let alone the 12 years the originals lasted. The return process was easy until I realized that the refund was only two-thirds of what we had paid. Shipping, which was really expensive, had been deducted.
So, buyers should beware. The quality was misrepresented, and you will not get a full refund.
- Unique products
- Low quality and unfair refund policy
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Beware of refund policy and do not rely on the company’s past quality or pictures in their catalog.

Greatly disappointed in finish on product after 3 years
On September 13th 2021 I purchased two items
the Amara Console coffee table and side table
from "Frontgate"
It arrived as shown on the internet, a soft gold tone. I noticed that the
two tables finished started to peel off a year and a half after I received it.
Item #173023 side table $499.00 and
coffee table item #173227 $1,999.00 not including shipping,
After notifying Frontgate they explain they only have a 1 year warranty. Sooooo if you have $4,000 to invest in throw away furniture shop at Frontgate
User's recommendation: Don't shop at Frontgate for furniture

Verified ReviewerPurchase 2 Rugs with code
A real person answered my call. He was knowledgeable, spoke clearly and English was his first language.
The representative did not honor my request to use a promotions code. I'd missed the date by two days because I did not want to purchase the items before our house closing to purchase date, just in case.
The gamble was mine and I take responsibility. Frontgate did lose the $1000 sale of items, however.
- Real person answers the call speaks clearly and seems mature
Preferred solution: honoring President's Day code of the two items I'd placed in my shopping cart
User's recommendation: Solid company. Keep them in business!
Terrible warranty and return policy
Bought a $90 lit wreath that worked for one holiday season (2 months), and then the light timer stopped working. Since it was beyond one year of purchase, they would not offer to replace the timer.
I asked for the name of the manufacturer so I could contact them directly, but they would not give out that information.
Terrible product and customer service. Will never purchase anything from Frontgate again.
User's recommendation: Don't buy anything from Frontgate

Verified ReviewerIf you need your item quick DO NOT ORDER FROM FRONTGATE
Seems everything I've ever ordered from Frontgate takes at least a month to get and most the time 3 to 4 months. Ordered another sheet set in Feb 2022, its now June 2022 still no sheets.
I order comfort mats based on what their website said delivery date would be and nope that date has come and gone still no comfort mats, I probably wont see them till Dec.

Verified ReviewerLow quality product at a premium price and won't honor the warranty
We bought 2 of their Palermo sofas in 2014 and the metal tubing under both of them is broken in 3 places on each. They are unusable by any adult and Frontgate has offered only a gift certificate for 10% at there store.
So much for the 10year frame warranty.
I'm the heaviest person in the family at 195 lbs and we've never had more than 4 people on it at one time and the couches have always been indoors. I have added wood legs to the couches but the cushions are way too thin for a product at this price point and you feel the broken frame through them.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Frontgate is selling overprice garbage
Received an order I didn't submit
While furnishing a new home, I forgot that I had ordered an item that I had since changed my mind about. Just had to return it.

I came here to find out if they are a reputable company to purchase from and now I know that they are NOT. I wonder if companies with bad customer service realize that they are losing first-time buyers because of this.
The 10 year warranty applies to outdoor furniture purchased 2018 and more recently. 2014 items have a one year warranty.
