Value City Furniture review: misleading warranty - left with peeling furniture ( 1 comment)

I purchased a sofa and loveseat in January 2009 along with the warranty and now I am left with two horrible pieces of peeling furniture.
When I purchased the couches the salesman was very nice and very insistent that we get a 7 year warranty. We were not considering getting the furniture warranty since it was a little expense ($119 fabric protection and $69.99 extended warranty. The furniture was only $969.99!) and we do not have any kids or pets. After all the hesitation we decided to buy the warranty. We thought it would cover anything since it covered peeling and stains which are the most important.

2 years and 7 months later... the peeling starts to occur. In a matter of days both couches started peeling. I called the warranty company right away. The requested pictures and a copy of the receipt. I sent the information as soon as possible and all I received back was a DENIAL email. They said the peeling was "accumulated" and the warranty did not cover this. After several calls to the warrant company and the same answers, we do not cover accumulated peeling, I decided to call Value City Furniture directly. I was relieved when I spoke to a very nice sales rep. at the store and she set up an appointment for a repair man to come and take a look at the damage on the furniture. They did not have any appointments right away so I had to wait two weeks for someone to come in to take a look at the furniture. The repair man was only going to take pictures and report back his findings. Before he left I did ask him if the furniture can be repaired to look the same as before and his answer was NO. The peeling was too much and he could not repair it. He said to wait for the store to call with their opinions. The store did not call back so I had to follow up with them. The first day I called they could not answer any questions as the person who reviews the pictures which were taken was no there. I had to call again and after holding a while they reviewed the case a woman got on the phone and said once again... the peeling accumulated and we do not cover this. I called several times to get the store manager on the phone but had no luck. Every time I would call I would get another person on the phone and had to explain my problem again and again and again. They were so unhelpful in every way!

I don't understand is why would they sell me a warranty, a very expensive, warranty which does not cover anything?! And to think I bought my bedroom set 3 months before the peeling began. If I would have known the living room furniture would be as horrible as it is I would not have invested in bedroom furniture at Value City. Now I am worried, what will happen to my bedroom set in 2 years?
