“I’m sorry sir/ma’am, but your warranty has expired.” How many times have you heard this phrase, always at the most inconvenient moment? It seems like your luck always runs out the exact moment you need it the most. As customers, most of us pay very little attention to warranties – until something goes wrong and suddenly we need them.
Unfortunately, this realization often comes too late. That’s why as consumers it is critically important to inform ourselves about warranties. Not only on the products we already own, but on the products we’re researching as well!
There’s an old proverb that states that the more complex something is, the more that can go wrong with it. So when it comes to shopping for furniture with tons of moving parts, having a good manufacturer warranty is key. We understand that motion furniture like reclining sofas, reclining loveseats, and reclining sectionals can be a real investment. As a result, knowing the warranty info beforehand could save you money and stress down the road!
Are you shopping for reclining furniture for your living room? How about a new recliner or power lift chair? If so, keep reading, because today we are comparing manufacturer warranties from some of the top furniture brands out there.
