Early and severe wearing of Cosmo range of Office Furniture from Waltons

This is not a knock on the Waltons staff who tried their best to help me .

I bought the Cosmo range of office furniture in 2017 for my medical practice. In under three years, there has been ‘bubbling’ and wearing of the upholstery.

There is a five year warranty on the furniture. But the manufacturer won’t honor it because they say we used chemicals on it ( sunlight soap and water in fact). They didn’t bother to ask me what we had used.

To re-upholster would be half the price of the furniture- very expensive to do every three years on workmanship you don’t have faith in.

So just a word of caution to my fellow customer who is looking at the Cosmo range of office furniture at Waltons

Hi Anthony

We are very sorry for the poor service experienced- the full detail must be understood before a supplier refuses to honour a warranty.

Our procurement team will call you shortly to arrange for the supplier to come inspect in more details before they refuse to honour a warranty.

Sorry again for this and hopefully we can settle this timeously.

Dear Sir,

It would be great if you could assist.

I have no issue with Waltons. Your furniture specialist, Fiona Follett, was very helpful. I have done a lot of business with her and Monique Bergh in the past.

I am not sure you are able to do much about your supplier. If your supplier bothered to speak to me I would have shown that one chair in particular went through more wear than another (and therefore would not be from cleaning agents ).

I also think office furniture should survive regular sitting for three years.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Regards

Anthony
