How is that any different for large furniture from larger vendors like Macys?
- zensavona 6y agoLarge vendors like Macys generally sell furniture which can be moved or disassembled without breaking said furniture.
- pfranz 6y agoWhile not necessarily a store like Macy's themselves, I know I've reached out to manufacturers when I needed a replacement handle or foot that was lost or broken. Heck, often right inside the package you'll see a piece of paper that says "STOP! Do not return to the store! Call us"
- mixedbit 6y agoNot sure about Macys, it doesn't operate in my country, but smaller furniture makers commonly use off-the-shelf mechanisms. For example, there are a couple popular spring mechanism for folding sofas, so if your sofa breaks, you can easily buy a replacement even if the furniture manufacturer is already out of business. IKEA has all these mechanisms custom.
