Furniture company advertise set and then decides not to make a piece in the set

If you got your money back, it's not "uncured". Even if you didn't, it's not "uncurable", as, refunding your money will make you "whole" in the eyes of the law, and that's all they are required to do.

Thanks for all the responses:

This was my reasoning for my assumptions. I guess my thought was the false advertising route.

“(a) A person relying upon an uncured or incurable deceptive act may bring an action for the damages actually suffered as a consumer as a result of the deceptive act or five hundred dollars ($500), whichever is greater. The court may increase damages for a willful deceptive act in an amount that does not exceed the greater of:
(1) three (3) times the actual damages of the consumer suffering the loss; or
(2) one thousand dollars ($1,000).”

Since the manufacturer put the information on their website as an option was the reason we bought the set.
We had to pay a percentage upfront in order for them to order the set in. The retail store was informed by the company it was still being made until finally 6 months later the manufacturer decided they were not going to make it. So they gave the intention and then changed their mind mid stream after already showing it as a feature to the set. The set is now not complete which is what they advertised to me. Damages would be devaluing of the set since it is not complete and the loss of the actual shelf which we have paid for and not received.
Since the manufacturer sales representatives were the ones that continued to lead not only me but the retail store I thought they would be the responsible party.

Thanks for the continued advice.

You still did not answer my questions.

Sorry, you said I didn't have a case, so I thought you had reached your conclusion already. We paid in full for everything and never received the last item.

And the retailer offered you a refund for the item you DIDN'T receive. But you turned it down, right? So, you're now SOL more than likely.

OP could still sue the dealer for a refund. Prior settlement negotiations don't enter in to play.
