Castlery Lawsuit Investigation: Sale Prices on a Sofa and an Ottoman

Castlery sells furniture online at Castlery.com and links to a New York showroom from its U.S. site. The two products in this investigation are the Jonathan Leather Sofa, which its product page describes as upholstered in top-grain American leather, and the fabric version of the Desmond Ottoman, which Castlery builds on a solid rubberwood frame with performance fabric.

Wilshire Law Firm is investigating allegations that the sale prices Castlery displayed for these two products were set against reference prices that may not have reflected what the items actually sold for. These are allegations only: no court has made any determination, and the matter remains an investigation.

On October 6, 2026, both product pages carried a “Sale” tag. The Jonathan Leather Sofa, in its default sofa configuration, was listed at $2,519 with $2,798 struck through, a $279 gap, and the fabric Desmond Ottoman was listed at $269 against a struck-through $299. A banner across the site promoted an “Anniversary Sale Upsized” with up to $550 off storewide for a “limited time only,” next to a countdown clock.

Federal guidance spells out when a comparison like that is legitimate. The FTC’s Guides Against Deceptive Pricing treat a former price as a fair basis for comparison when it is “the actual, bona fide price at which the article was offered to the public on a regular basis for a reasonably substantial period of time.” The investigation is examining whether Castlery’s higher prices fit that description, which turns on pricing history that is not public.

Here is who the investigation is looking to hear from right now:

• You are a California resident.
• You purchased either a Jonathan Leather Sofa or a fabric Desmond Ottoman directly from Castlery.com.
• Your purchase was made between January 2, 2026 and the present.

The criteria don’t require proof of purchase, but your order records will still help a legal professional understand what you paid. Eligibility is decided one buyer at a time and may shift as the investigation develops.

• Your Castlery order confirmation or invoice, which should show the product, the configuration or fabric you chose, the date and the price.
• A card or bank statement showing the charge.
• Screenshots of the product page with the “Sale” tag and crossed-out price, if you took any.
• Promotional emails or ads for the sale you bought during, such as a storewide sale.

Bring whatever you have; none of it is needed to start a conversation, and none of this is legal advice.

Furniture is a large purchase, so a reference price that is off by a few hundred dollars can shape a buying decision. The Jonathan page also listed 17 configurations on October 6, so the price a shopper saw may have depended on which one they chose. A legal professional can compare your configuration and the price you paid with what the investigation turns up.
