I bought a sofa manufactured by Statum Designs from another company. I received the sofa and it looked clean but within a day I noticed some weird PUNGENT nauseating smell emitting from it just like the smell from toenail fungus - especially from the sides where the arms are.
I called Statum directly and they told me I had to deal with the other company. The other company only wanted to send a cleaning company to come by. There was no way I was going to let their dirty hoses touch my sofa or enter my home. Why should it come to that instead of just taking the faulty sofa away and getting me a new one?
So, time passed, and it took a few years for the smell to decrease after wiping a few times with vinegar (it's STILL there but less noticeable) and I had to sit in the middle not to be too close to the arms.
But the cushions were causing problems and there is a moldy smell coming out of them. I try to wipe them with vinegar and put them out on the balcony, but the smell always returns.
The company sold me a lemon that was made by Statum Designs and delivered from Statum Designs. No one took responsibility for this default. Meanwhile I was stuck with a rotten sofa, and these corporations' owners made a neat profit.
