Hello everyone,
Let me briefly introduce myself:

My name is Tobi, I am 37 years old and married.
Now to my problem.
In December 2006, we bought a Kramfors leather sofa. Now, about 2 1/2 years later, the polyurethane coating applied to the leather is coming off. It feels sticky and no longer looks good.

Does anyone else have this problem? I have read a lot about it on a blog, but unfortunately, I have not found any useful information regarding exchanges or complaints, if that is even possible since it’s older than 2 years.

Other models are advertised with a 10-year warranty, but unfortunately not this one.

Thanks in advance

Tobi

Hi,

from what you describe, unfortunately the statutory warranty period of 2 years has expired. However, the issue with Kramfors is known at IKEA, and their customer service is usually quite accommodating on site, especially when it comes to leather sofas. My advice: find the original receipt, if possible bring a cushion or sample for inspection, or take photos with a digital camera or phone, and then ask very politely and disappointed at the counter if anything can be done. There was actually a recall for Kramfors leather sofas and even a manufacturer change due to quality issues... just a little tip, I’m an employee myself, hehe.

It has turned out well after all...
In 3-4 weeks, we will receive a new Kramfors...

It ended up with a good outcome after all...
In 3-4 weeks we will receive a new Kramfors...

I have one more question...

Which house was it? Were multiple houses involved?

I'm happy for you, but I would also be interested to know which house it was in.
