If a warranty is offered, make sure you save the sales slip as well as information on the warranty. You should also record the date of store purchase. Keep all this information in case you need it later. If the manufacturer does not offer a warranty, find out if the store will assure responsibility for defects, poor workmanship, or damage during delivery. Always get warranties in writing; oral warranties are worthless. Also check to see if there is a warranty on the fabric or fibers. Some warranties apply only to furniture construction and not to the fabric, while others may carry a limited warranty on the fabric
