Just a heads-up for anyone considering the Carson Deep Sit Vivalife Stain-Resistant Fabric Corner Sofa from Dunelm. We bought it in November 2022 for £1,314.05, and it’s been nothing but trouble. Here’s what we’ve experienced:
- Mould is growing inside the cushions—even the ones that haven’t been cleaned.
- Despite being advertised as stain-resistant, the sofa stains and turns blue/black when cleaned according to the provided instructions.
- There's a strange black glitter-like substance that transfers to skin and is hard to remove.
- Dunelm sent a technician who initially told us it was a manufacturing fault, but their final report falsely blames us for "using the wrong cleaning methods." The report is full of mistakes, including irrelevant advice about cleaning garden furniture!
- The sofa cushions are supposed to be water-resistant, but they’ve clearly soaked up moisture, causing the mould—despite us following the instructions and air-drying the cushions.
We're being accused of mistreating the sofa without any real proof, and we're stuck with a product that doesn't meet the standards of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If you're looking for a sofa, I’d steer clear of this one.
