Teppermans are so miss leading with their words, I bought 2 sofa's, and their just 2yrs old. The wood on the front of the sofa's are all chewed up, of coarse the material covering it ripped. Teppermans call this wear and tear ! Nothing would be wrong with the sofa's if whom ever made it had pride in their work. I'm told if the manufacture doesn't cover either does the extended warranty. I wish I could post a photo I'm not that great on the computer, but if the Tepperman family seen my photo's they would be so disappointed in the bad craftmanship they buy from. And I feel they would help out this senior.
