AI Highlights
  • - The AI chat couldn't solve the problem and was monotone.
  • - They wanted a human to fix the order and felt limited by AI.

The ai chat agent couldnt solve my problem and just had me blabbing about nothing. Asked for a person when got tired of monotone responses and just pretty much summed up the best help i was going to get was through the ai chat. Felt frustrated this is the only way to go because i do want to get my order fixed but feels like its not achievable due to ai's limited functionality of getting me a person!

I tried to call customer service- they claim to send a verification code and 17 minutes later- NO CODE. SO NO CUSTOMER SERVICE

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!

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.

This is ridiculous. I get that sometimes the factory forgets, but I can't put my table together without the screws.

  • - King sheets don’t fit and slide off despite straps.
  • - Only the pillow covers are good; the rest is unsatisfactory, and a replacement is requested.
Updated by user Aug 30, 2026

Don't by because they don't care about what the customer concern are with they defective product. I'm very unhappy about the no reply or refund on the problem

Original review Aug 15, 2026

This comforter set that was bought for me during my healing of receiving a kidney is the worst. The sheets for my king don't fit; it's too big.

Even using my sheet straps, they still slide, move, and come off. The only good, and I mean the only good part to this set is the pillow covers. Everything about the sheets and comforter is terrible, terrible. I wish I had the receipt; the store would take it back ASAP.

That's how bad it is. I feel you, the company that makes it, should send me a new one for my inconvenience during my healing process.

Loss:

Cons:
  • Are terrible

Replacement filter basket issue

AI Highlights
  • - I have no experience yet with Mainstays.
  • - I sent a message for a replacement filter basket for model 511394; automated reply overlooked the issue.

I have yet to have an experience with Mainstays. I sent Mainstays a message using their format and email program to advise them that I need a filter basket for a Mainstays coffee maker model 511394.

I do not know if my message will get to the right department, nor do I know what I will get in the way of help.

I received what appears to be an automated response that did not mention my issue. I hope Mainstays will send a replacement filter basket, and I will pay any reasonable fee for the replacement.

Defective product

AI Highlights
  • - System kept asking for order number and wouldn’t confirm receipt; kettle is defective and attracts roaches, lacks the box, and requests a callback.

Your automated system kept asking for the order number over and over and wouldn't confirm whether they got the order number 200014*-***40757 for the defective mainstay kettle that I have that keeps getting roaches in it while it's closed. I no longer have the box because I am fighting an issue in my home with bugs, so I don't keep cardboard, but that kettle should be sealed and not getting roaches in it. Call me back at 407-879-****.
