worst: £2k corner sofa from scs watford , spend ages choosing one found this nice fabric , big cushioned , chillout **** sofa , great . took out a years warranty when purchaced . 6 months in all the stitching is fraying , 2 cushoins have got 4 inch holes in and the seams are coming apart , had an scs rep come out to have a look , it turns out that the fabric hasnt been double seamed on all cushions causing the threads to come away from the edges , guess what ...... the warranty doent cover fraying plus the guy suggested that we caused the holes !! because we love cutting up new sofas DICK !

been battleing it out with them but to no resolve they are not prepared to do anything as his report suggested that we had caused the damage .
