            We ordered 150 chairs in 2018 which were delivered and were great. This year, a number of the chairs started to disintegrate and tear. Luckily, we had their 10-year material warranty, or so we thought.As it turns out, their "warranty" does not cover any material defects or trouble if the chairs are exposed to "direct or indirect sunlight". That means, in plain English, that if the chairs are in a room with windows, the warranty is null and void.I'm not sure how many churches have sanctuaries with no windows, but my educated guess is: not too many.So, if you buy chair from them, they are generally good quality, but don't buy them based on their supposed warranty. It is useless.

            We value and appreciate our Customer's opinion.  We provided ******************** a copy of the warranty and explained why the issue with the chairs was not covered. We offered and he accepted a good will payment for the trouble experienced with 5 chairs.
