Warranty

Warranty 
 Contract Furnishings International (W3) Products

FRAME

5-year limited warranty on all aluminum frames against defects in material and workmanship from the original date of purchase. If your frame fails structurally during normal use the factory will repair or replace the frame with the same product at no charge. (At the factories discretion.)  If the product or frame finish has been discontinued, a similar item will be used.  This includes labor during the first 12 months.

 

NOTE: Glide replacement is a necessary function in maintaining the furniture and should be accomplished on an annual basis, or more frequently, depending on the level of usage. The factory recommends a quarterly inspection of the glides to insure maximum longevity of your frames and finish. Glides can be purchased from Contract Furnishings International. Failure to maintain glides will void the warranty.

 

Many of our sling dining chairs require additional bracing (i.e.bolt thru) to be warranted for commercial use. This applies to certain sling lines. Contact your representative to see if the collection you are purchasing includes the bolt through option.

 

Regular cleaning of frames is imperative in maintaining the integrity of the frame finish, especially in high salt environments.
