You may be part of a new $750,000 class action settlement reached with Stoneledge Furniture, LLC over
allegations
that “original” or “regular” prices displayed in California stores were inflated, making the discount look
bigger
than it really was.
If you bought products at a Stoneledge-owned store in California that operated under the Ashley HomeStore
name,
and the “original price” or “regular price” was at least 10% higher than the “invoice price,” you may
qualify for
a cash payment plus a $35 voucher.
Is this Ashley Furniture or Ashley HomeStore?
This settlement is against Stoneledge Furniture, LLC, not against Ashley Furniture or Ashley HomeStores,
although the class action lawsuit does involve pricing on Ashley's online furniture store.
Stoneledge operated Ashley HomeStore-branded stores in California. The case was originally filed as Ryan
Cornateanu
v. Ashley Homestores, Ltd., then amended to name Stoneledge as the defendant in place of Ashley Homestores,
Ltd.
The release language also references pricing and discount advertising involving Stoneledge or Ashley during
the
class period, including Ashley’s e-commerce website, but the defendant in this settlement is Stoneledge.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The Gross Settlement Amount is $750,000. Settlement payments are paid from the “net” settlement after
Court-approved deductions like settlement administration costs, attorneys’ fees and costs (as approved by
the
Court), and any Court-approved service award.
How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
You are included in the Settlement Class if you meet this definition:
• You are in California, and
• You purchased products from a Stoneledge store in California between March 9, 2017 and March 27,
2022, and
• The “original price” or “regular price” was at least 10% greater than the “invoice price.”
How Much Can I Get Paid?
If your claim is approved, you can receive:
• A pro rata cash payment (paid by check), and
• A voucher good for $35.00 off a purchase at a Stoneledge-owned store.
Your cash payment amount depends on how many valid claims are filed and the final “net” amount available
after
Court-approved deductions.
How Do I File a Claim?
You must submit a Claim Form online at the official settlement website or mail a paper Claim Form to the
settlement administrator.
Claims filed by mail must be postmarked by the deadline and sent to:
CORNATEANU v. STONELEDGE FURNITURE, LLC
c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC
PO Box 225391
New York, NY 10150-5391
What is the Claim Form Deadline?
The Claim Form must be submitted online or postmarked by February 10, 2026.
What are the Important Dates?
• Claim submission deadline: February 10, 2026
• Opt out deadline: February 10, 2026
• Objection deadline: February 10, 2026 (see notice for filing requirements)
• Final Approval Hearing: April 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. PST
When is the class action settlement payment date?
The notice describes payment by check for approved claims, but it does not list an exact payment mail date.
In most settlements, payments are issued after the Court grants final approval and any appeal period ends.
If
there are appeals, payments can be delayed.
Is Proof Required to File a Claim?
The class action settlement is focused on eligibility criteria and submitting a valid and timely Claim Form. It does not say
that
receipts are required for every claim. However, the Claim Form does ask for a Claim ID, which may have been included in the
notice you received if you are already identified as a member of the Ashley pricing settlement class. If you did not receive your Claim ID, you can download the Claim Form from the settlement website and follow the instructions on the paper claim form.
If you received a notice because records indicate you purchased, that may help. Still, always follow the
Claim
Form instructions and answer truthfully. The administrator may review claims for completeness and validity.
How Many People are Affected?
The notice states that records indicate certain people purchased qualifying products during the class
period, but
it does not provide a total number of affected customers or an estimated class size in the excerpt provided.
