Title: Damaged Couch/Love Seat recliner systems!
Post by: baileyuph on July 14, 2019, 06:52:37 am
I just had a week of several pieces of furniture come in with bent up recliner systems.  The iron
just won't move - open or close .  I look at it and look at them (very big suggest the least) and go
ahead and fix the stuff without advising that you don't get in or out of these seats when
open. 

Even some powered units are getting bent - I guess it is commercial time and they get
into a hurry to get that "drink" for the rest of the show.

Where we headed in this business?

I think it's both the size of the ass AND the rush to get more food for the rest of the show. they are Tonnected.

I've seen recliner mechanisms that are 25 years old that are almost twice as thick as the new ones today. Building in obsolescence is a real thing. And the cheaper you can make a part that will last just longer than the warranty is money that goes to the profit line.

The bigger they are the harder they land.
