Ashley Furniture Class Action Lawsuit 2026: $750K Settlement, February 10 Deadline, and How California Shoppers Can Claim Cash
If you bought furniture from an Ashley HomeStore in California between 2017 and 2022, you could get money back. Stoneledge Furniture—which operates Ashley HomeStores across California—agreed to pay $750,000 to settle claims that they inflated “original prices” to make discounts look bigger than they actually were. The deadline to file your claim is February 10, 2026.
What’s the Ashley Furniture Class Action Lawsuit About?
Here’s what happened. You walk into an Ashley HomeStore, and you see a couch marked down from $1,200 to $800. Looks like a steal, right? But according to the lawsuit, that “$1,200 original price” was fake—the couch was never actually sold at that price. Stoneledge allegedly jacked up the “regular price” just to make the discount look impressive.
Plaintiffs claimed this violated California’s Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act. Stoneledge denies any wrongdoing but settled to avoid dragging this through court.
Who Can File a Claim?
You’re eligible if you meet these three criteria:
- You bought something from a California Ashley HomeStore operated by Stoneledge between March 9, 2017, and March 27, 2022
- The “original price” or “regular price” was at least 10% higher than the invoice price
- You haven’t already gotten a refund
No proof of purchase needed. You just need to remember where you shopped and roughly when.
What Can You Get from This Settlement?
Every approved claim gets two things:
Cash payment – The exact amount depends on how many people file claims. The settlement fund is $750,000, minus attorney fees and costs. Then what’s left gets divided among all valid claims. More claims = smaller individual payouts.
$35 voucher – Guaranteed for every claimant. You can use it at any Stoneledge-owned Ashley store. It expires after you get it, so don’t sit on it.
Payments go out about 96 days after the court gives final approval and any appeals wrap up.
How to File Your Claim
Filing is straightforward. Head to the settlement website at www.stoneledgefurnituresettlement.com and fill out the online claim form. You’ll need your Class Member ID (check any email or mail you got from Kroll Settlement Administration).
If you prefer paper, download the claim form and mail it to:
Cornateanu v. Stoneledge Furniture LLC
c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC
PO Box 225391
New York, NY 10150-5391
Mail it so it’s postmarked by February 10, 2026. Miss that date, and you’re out.
What If You Don’t Want to Participate?
You’ve got options. If you want out of the settlement so you can sue separately, you need to opt out by February 10, 2026. Send your exclusion request to the settlement administrator.
If you want to object—maybe you think the settlement’s unfair—you can file an objection by the same date. Just follow the instructions in the official notice.
When Does the Court Decide?
The final approval hearing is scheduled for April 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PST. That’s when the judge decides whether to approve the settlement. If approved, payments start rolling out a few months later (after any appeals).
Common Questions
Do I need my receipt?
Nope. Just provide the store location and approximate purchase date.
What if I moved out of California?
Doesn’t matter. As long as you bought the furniture in California during the class period, you’re eligible.
Can I transfer my voucher to someone else?
Yes, as long as you’re not selling it. The $35 voucher is transferable.
What if I bought furniture online from Ashley?
This settlement only covers in-store purchases at California Ashley HomeStores operated by Stoneledge. If you bought online or from a different Ashley location, you’re not covered.
Don’t Leave Money on the Table
You’ve got until February 10, 2026, to file. That’s less than two weeks away as of January 27, 2026. Don’t wait until the last minute—get your claim in now.
