UFO Poor Workmanship

I wrote to formally lodge a complaint regarding a Daybed in Light Grey PU Fabric that I purchased from their store on 30 November 2024 for R21,850.00. I have taken great care of this furniture and have followed the manufacturer's care instructions at all times. The daybed has only been cleaned with clean water, exactly as recommended. Despite this, the PU fabric has started cracking in several areas, while other sections remain completely intact. This indicates that the damage is not the result of misuse or improper cleaning, but rather appears to be a defect in the material or its manufacture. Considering the purchase price of R21,850.00 and the relatively short period of ownership, I find this deterioration unacceptable. I expected a product of this quality and cost to remain in good condition for many years under normal household use.

I therefore requested that UFO Furnishers investigate this matter and provide an appropriate remedy, whether by repairing, replacing, or otherwise resolving the issue in accordance with the applicable consumer protection laws. They Never Rep****

Dear Sandra,

Thank you for contacting UFO.
We acknowledge your complaint and the claim about the fabric that is cracking.
The lounge suite you purchased comes with a 1-year warranty that covers frame and structure but does not cover the fabric and leather.
This is due to the fact that the fabric / leather's durability is dependent on how it is cared for. And the lounge suite is also out of warranty now as you have had it for 19 months.

We are able to assist as we have approved suppliers/agents that can assist you with a whole recovery at your cost.

Kind regards,
Pinda Nyembe
