THIS IS A FRIENDLY WARNING TO ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING A `HASTINGS` LEATHER SOFA FROM OAK FURNITURE LAND..... DON`T BOTHER!!! GO ELSEWHERE!!! OR YOU`LL FINISH IN THE SAME SITUATION AS US!!! WE`RE JUST INTO OUR SECOND YEAR OF OWNING THE 3 SEATER AND 2 SEATER ELECTRIC RECLINERS IN TAN. WE ARE STILL PAYING EVERY MONTH FOR THESE ITEMS BUT THE SEATING HAS SUNK SO LOW, IT`S LIKE SITTING ON THE FLOOR!!! WE WERE ADVISED AT THE POINT OF SALE, TO CONSIDER TAKING OUT A 5 YEAR COVER PLAN FOR `PEACE OF MIND!!!` IT WAS ANOTHER £300 ON TOP OF THE COST OF THE SOFAS, BUT WE PAID IT. THE GUY SAID IT WOULD COVER THE COST OF ANYTHING GOING WRONG WITH EITHER SOFA. THIS IS A LIE!!!!!! WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO TELL THEM THAT BOTH SOFAS WERE SAGGING BADLY AFTER SUCH A SHORT SPACE OF TIME, SO THEY SENT SOMEBODY ROUND.....I BET YOU CAN GUESS THE REST!!! OUR SAGGING SOFAS WERE DUE TO `WEAR AND TEAR` AND NOT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURERS. AS A WORKING FAMILY WHO ARE OUT MOST OF THE TIME, I WOULD DISAGREE THAT THESE SOFAS HAVE BEEN OVERUSED......AND IN SUCH A SHORT TIME FRAME FROM WHEN THEY WERE NEW!!! SO BASICALLY, THE SOFAS ARE FILLED WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT FAILS VERY QUICKLY, AND THE INSURANCE GUYS THAT CALL OUT, HIDE BEHIND THE FACT THAT THE SOFAS `HAVE BEEN USED!!!` WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE WANT TO DO WHEN THEY SPEND OVER £3,000 ON A COUPLE OF SOFAS? SIT ON THEM I WOULD SUGGEST!!!! IF YOU MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING ONE OF THESE OVERPRICED, DEFECTIVE SOFAS, PLEASE DO NOT SIT ON IT, AS THE INSURANCE PEOPLE WILL HAVE YOU FOR `WEAR AND TEAR!!!!` AVOID!! AVOID!! AVOID!! I`M NOT TOTALLY SURE WHERE TO GO FOR A NEW SOFA THESE DAYS, AS MY BROTHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ONE FROM SCS. THESE SOFAS ARE BIG MONEY TO PEOPLE IN THE CURRENT FINANCIAL CLIMATE, SO THEY SHOULD BE BUILT TO LAST!!! QUITE FRANKLY, THEY ARE`NT. THEY`RE BUILT TO FAIL, SO YOU HAVE TO SPEND AGAIN IN A COUPLE OF YEARS TIME. SO MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO AVOID ANY OAK FURNITURE LAND PRODUCT, AND DON`T TAKE ANY COVER OUT TO PROTECT THEM.....IT`S NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT`S PRINTED ON!!! SAVE YOURSELF THE AGRO WE`VE HAD AND JUST DON`T GO TO OAK FURNITURE LAND.... EVER!!!!
