However, it’s a decision we always regret when something does happen, and we hear those fateful words “Did you purchase the extended warranty?”.

And while we purchase insurances and warranties for each of these, why do we continue to ignore the warranty for our furniture? Now it is true, not all warranties are created equal, and there is some diligence required on behalf of the consumer when it comes to taking full advantage of the warranty. So, let’s take a few minutes to discuss with one of our top DM (District Manager’s) what options are available when it comes to protecting one
