Did I ever tell you I love to shop?

Especially for furniture! When we moved to Utah we bought a new living room set from Ashley...

We loved it. It looked great in our living room and was so very comfortable. Chad could actually lay down on the couch and not have his feet dangling which was a major perk! Over time however, this couch became the enemy. First the upholstery was fraying on the cushions on the couch, then the love seat too. We called the store and they sent out an Ashley rep and she ordered us new cushions. We were thrilled. Till the cushions came and they were off by several shades!  We let the store know and they were going to send the warranty rep out again. Then the bottom of the couch and the back cushions all started to fray. It was like some little gremlin was going around and pulling at the threads on it so it would unravel! I waited for the Ashley rep to come out... and waited... AND WAITED. Finally we received a call from the store. The Ashley warranty rep had determined that this set was more of a "sitting room" set and that daily use just wasn't an option.... WHAT? Not an option? Have you ever seen that warning on furniture? What did they want me to do, put plastic covers on it and shove it into the front room and never sit on it? That would be great, but did they not know that I have 4 kids? I mean it's Utah, with 4 kids we are the minority! Why even bother selling it if it's not the least bit durable? So the store was kind enough to offer a full credit :) Bless their hearts... we get to go in to Knight's Furniture and pick out a new, MORE DURABLE, FAMILY FRIENDLY, NON SITTING ROOM, PLASTIC COVER, WARNING FREE couch and love seat! I am a very happy Miva!
