WARRANTY

 

HB&CO + JAMES STEWART FURNITURE


All frames are 10 years. Cushion core materials are covered for a period of 5 years against abnormal loss of resiliency, as long as it remains upholstered in the original covering and is used under normal conditions. Some loss of resiliency of the foam core and fiber and or feather wrap should be expected and will not be considered defective. Feather leeching (loss) over the life time of the product is considered normal and is not a defect.

Any items found to be defective will be repaired or replaced free of charge during the warranty period. 

Warranty claims will not be accepted for general wear and tear or misuse of the furniture - such as excessive loads, damage sustained by incorrect use such as placing in sun, breakage during moving or relocating, standing on seats, burns caused by cigarettes, soiling of fabrics.

The warranty of  leather or fabric upholstery will rely solely upon the warranty of the fabric mill or leather manufacturer when considering the wearing quality, color fastness, wrinkling and/or durability of any upholstery material in our broad line of upholstered covers. Any adjustment will be at the discretion of said manufacturer/mill. This warranty does not cover fading, pilling, shrinkage or stretching and is not valid where there is evidence of heavy soiling or misuse. All cover warranties are null and void if improperly cleaned or treated or if exposed to excessive sunlight, heat or moisture. 

Any claims will be assessed on an individual basis and where a fabric or leather is found to be defective James Stewart Furniture will re-upholster, repair or replace (to the same value) the item according to its obligations under the Trade Practices Act.

 ALBOO WARRANTY POLICY


Caring for your Alboo outdoor furniture requires basic care to ensure a longer life.

Overall Alboo furniture requires a minimum of maintenance. Its aluminium frames can be cleaned using freshwater and soap or just lightly sponge down with water.

Alboo furniture can stay outdoors all year round, during long periods where it is not in use it is best to store it under cover to protect it from unpredictable weather events or over exposure.

Our cushions are made with quick-dry foam which allows for water to drain rapidly and for fresh air to circulate this helps combat mildew or mould.

This, together with our breathable and highly durable Sunbrella and Agora outdoor fabrics, helps prevent mould from building up.

  • Keep your outdoor furniture tidy by regularly removing dirt and debris with a brush or simple vacuum

  • Take extra care to remove dirt from the seams – a common area for mildew to grow

  • Avoid stains by cleaning up spills like sunscreen, tomato sauce and wine with a soft bristle brush or sponge as they occur

  • If heavy rain is forecast, angle cushions on their side to allow for the water to run off, rather than pool on the surface

  • At times of heavy rainfall , keep cushions undercover to provide them with adequate protection

  • When your cushions have been subjected to heavy wet weather, rotate them or angle them on their side to allow both sides to air dry before use

  • Rotating your cushions can also help minimise sun damage if exposed long term to very harsh or extreme heat from sun.

If you are storing your cushions away, make sure they are completely dry and cleaned prior.

Note: before using any cleaning products on your fabric, check the care instructions and do a small test on an inconspicuous area first.
