Mainstays - I buy three kitchen utensils but with all the packaging putting everything...

I bought three utensils that I needed. Everything that's hooked up is hidden by cardboard, but they were the three kitchen items I needed.

I got home and had to get all those plastic ties off, which I did. Then I got the three utensils I needed, and they're hooked together with a keychain. Like, what the f?

I don't need a keychain on these. This is the worst mainstay product I ever bought!

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Save your money don't buy

Dear Customer Service,

We purchased Mainstays memory foam Futon from Walmart in 17 Aug 2025. According to the product brochure and specifications, the sofa is advertised to support 600 lb load weight.

However, despite normal use and well within the expected weight limit, we experienced a serious issue with the product.

While my husband was sitting on the sofa, we suddenly heard a very loud cracking sound from underneath the couch, and one of the support springs/frame components broke.

We reached out to Walmart regarding this issue, and they informed us that because the product is still within the one-year warranty/return period, the item may qualify for replacement with a new sofa. Walmart advised us to contact the manufacturer directly to proceed with the warranty process.

Could you please guide us on the next steps and let us know what information or documents you require from us?

We would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time and support. We look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Amir Taghavipour

Order Number: 600000*-***89359

Loss:
$269

Preferred solution: It is not usable and we get backache while sitting on the sofa. Is it possible to get a new one and return the impaired one with no mailing cost. Otherwise, I am interested in full refund.

Quality

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The quality of these are substandard. I've been "trying" to use these for a few years, it seems that every two months of regular using, either the spring inside becomes extremely weak and unable to use or the blind itself breaks. I'd stay away from these at all cost, or it will cost you buying more.

Loss:
$30
Cons:
  • Quality

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Stay away, you'll waste your money

Missed point rewards

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Missing rewards points for a free night; no immediate solution.
  • - Discrepancy between 14 and 29 nights; seeks transparent, consistent tracking.
Mainstays - Missed point rewards

Missing rewards points for a free night at MainStay Hotels feels surprisingly frustrating. I planned my stay carefully, expecting loyalty benefits to cover the cost after months of travel.

When the points didn't appear, it felt like the system failed me. Customer support offered explanations, but no immediate solution. The experience highlights how small technical issues can impact trust and satisfaction.

I still value the brand, yet I now double-check every booking, hoping future stays will deliver the rewards I earned and restore confidence in their loyalty program through consistent and transparent tracking of points for every eligible stay booked. It says I stayed 14 nights, but the front desk clerk says the computer says I stayed 29 nights.

Preferred solution: My reward points and free nights I am elgible for.

Return product/ wrong product in box.

The customer care department is all AI and does not help in any situation. The AI agent on their site just spins you in a circle always ending at asking to help with anything else and the process begins again all over.

Loss:

Cons:
  • Cannot reach an actual person to work out issues with their products

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: do not buy mainstays if you have any intentions on returning faulty or broken products.

Missing pieces

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Store urged return; service forced repeating issue four times; 45-min drive to refund; disappointed with product quality and service.
Mainstays - Missing pieces
Original review updated Feb 25, 2026

I contacted the store and was told to bring it back if I did not want it. That response was frustrating, as I clearly intended to purchase and use the set; otherwise, I would not have bought it twice.

I then contacted customer service and had to explain the situation four separate times. After being placed on hold, I was transferred to another representative who asked me to repeat everything again. This reflects extremely poor customer service and a lack of effective communication. Additionally, I am concerned about the lack of proper quality inspection before these products were sold.

This has now caused significant inconvenience, as I must make a third trip another 45-minute one-way drive to return the item for a refund. I am very disappointed with both the product quality and the customer service experience.

Loss:
$30
Pros:
  • I have receipt to return it
Cons:
  • Purchased twice and both times there were problems with set

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Do not purchase
