New Furniture and Furniture InspectionSaturday, July 24, 2010Tallahassee, FloridaToday early in the morning folks from a local furniture company came to inspect a problem in one of the piece we had bought sometime ago. The piece was still under warranty. The gentleman came and made many measurements to see whether the problem we have encountered is within their requirements. After making measurements and documenting them, he said we qualify for replacement.Then within about half hour two other gentlemen from the local furniture company came and delivered our new furniture order. So within a span of one hour we got our old furniture inspected and new furniture delivered. The only thing that was left was donate our old furniture to charity. We will do so soon.
