But wait! Have you checked the warranty? A good warranty can mean the difference between buying with confidence&#8230; and taking your chances. We&#8217;ve come a long way from the old days of &#8220;let the buyer beware!&#8221; when it comes to buying products in the marketplace. Today, rules and regulations are in place to give consumers fair and reasonable protection for their hard-earned purchases. Plus, top-quality upholstery manufacturers know it&#8217;s wise to keep customers happy\u2026 long after they&#8217;ve left the store and taken their new furniture home. That&#8217;s why good products are covered by a good warranty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a warranty is: A (usually) written guarantee of the integrity of a product and of the maker&#8217;s responsibility for the repair or replacement of defective parts. But like the furniture they guarantee, not all warranties are created equal. Here&#8217;s a quick consumer update on warranties and what they mean to you:<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1530909092586{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why A Warranty Is So Important<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243; el_class=&#8221;.blogpostfont&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A good manufacturer&#8217;s warranty is all about peace of mind for you, the customer. It&#8217;s a written list of promises that detail a minimum of how long the entire piece \u2013 or various parts \u2013 will provide satisfactory performance. It also states what the manufacturer will do if the product doesn&#8217;t measure up to your expectations. Warranties on home furnishings often indicate the furniture&#8217;s quality. Usually, the longer the warranty term, the better made the product. A good warranty can add value to your purchase. So consider the strength of the warranty as well as the price of the piece!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1530034327800{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Some General Warranty Rules<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243; el_class=&#8221;.blogpostfont&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1530909116424{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>Most warranties apply only to the original buyer, and to furniture that has received normal use and proper maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>A manufacturer&#8217;s (or factory) warranty is included on most home furnishings products you&#8217;ll see on a dealer&#8217;s floor. Some dealers also offer their own extended warranties on certain items, sometimes at a small additional charge.<\/li>\n<li>Your sales professional should brief you on what warranties apply to the product you are buying.

Some warranties are mailed to you at a later date.<\/li>\n<li><b>One way or another, get it in writing!<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Save your receipt and file it with the warranty. You may need it to document the date of your purchase or prove that you&#8217;re the original owner in the case of a nontransferable warranty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1530034356960{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Examples Of What Is Usually Covered\u2026<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243; el_class=&#8221;.blogpostfont&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1530909133386{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Most manufacturers warrant their product to the original retail purchaser as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>GOOD<\/b>: One-Year Warranty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The furniture is free from defects in workmanship, materials and construction for one year from the date of purchase. In the event that a defect is found, the manufacturer will either repair or replace the defective item, at its discretion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Note: Most upholstery manufacturers warranty their fabrics for a maximum of one year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>BETTER<\/b>: Five-Year Limited warranty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The product or part is warranted against defective materials or workmanship for five years, based on reasonable use. If there&#8217;s a problem that&#8217;s covered by the warranty, the manufacturer will, at its discretion, repair or replace the product or refund the original purchase price product. Most upholstery manufacturers warranty their cushioning materials for a maximum of five years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>BEST<\/b>: Lifetime Warranty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Remember, a warranty is all about relaxation and peace of mind.

So while a warranty for upholstered furnishings will cover problems under &#8220;normal household use&#8221;, it also may include specific limitations. Certain warranties may not apply to:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Defects that result from negligence, misuse, or accidents.<\/li>\n<li>Any condition resulting from incorrect or inadequate maintenance, cleaning or care, or commercial use.<\/li>\n<li>Any condition resulting from other than ordinary residential wear or from any use for which the product was not designed.<\/li>\n<li>The matching of color, grain, or texture of wood, leather or fabrics.<\/li>\n<li>The colorfastness, dye lot variations, wrinkling, or wear of fabrics or leather.<\/li>\n<li>The softening of filling materials under normal use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In some cases, applying a fabric protectant to your upholstered furniture could void your manufacturers warranty.

Don&#8217;t assume warranty coverage that was never promised in writing. Also, a warranty doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;ll automatically get a refund if the product is defective\u2014the company may be entitled to try to fix it first.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, if you reported a defect to the company during the warranty period and the product wasn&#8217;t fixed properly, the company must correct the problem, even if your warranty expires before the product is fixed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<li>Try to resolve the problem with the retailer. If you can&#8217;t, write to the manufacturer. Your warranty should list the company&#8217;s mailing address or Web site. Send all letters by certified mail, return receipt requested, and keep copies.<\/li>\n<li>Contact your state or local consumer protection office. They can help you if you can&#8217;t resolve the situation with the seller or manufacturer.<\/li>\n<li>Remember: A warranty will be effective only if the consumer who originally purchases this furniture retains the original sales receipt showing purchase date and terms of sale.<\/li>\n<li>A good Warranty is designed to protect your investment\u2026 And your peace of mind!<\/li>\n<li>Keep in mind that the confidence a manufacturer puts into their warranty is a great indicator of how good the furniture (or any product) really is:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Ask performance-related questions before you buy.<\/li>\n<li>Read the fine print on the warranty.<\/li>\n<li>If required, send in your warranty card or register online.<\/li>\n<li>Save your sales receipt.<\/li>\n<li>Perform required maintenance and care.<\/li>\n<li>Use the furniture according to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>And finally, relax and enjoy your purchase\u2026 knowing that you shopped carefully for furniture with a warranty that covers all the bases!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243;
