Furniture Protection Plans
Diposting oleh fatih
Life happens.
The MFS Plans will protect your furniture investment for years to come because they are backed with a proven track record of superior customer service. With coverage that will protect furniture from many spots, stains, damage, and other mishaps, you can enjoy freedom from worry about your furniture.
What does the MFS 5-Year Protection Plan cover?
Fabric Upholstery Premium Protection Plan:
Coverage for fabric upholstery includes all stains excluding bleach and caustic solutions, dye transfer. Coverage for damage includes punctures, rips, burns, breakage of frames, and breakage of mechanisms.
Leather and Vinyl Premium Combination Plan:
Coverage for leather and vinyl includes all stains excluding bleach and caustic solutions, dye transfer. Coverage for damage includes punctures, rips, burns, breakage of frames, and breakage of mechanisms.
Case Goods and Other Hard Surface Furniture Premium Combination Plan:
Coverage for case goods and other hard surface furniture includes all stains excluding bleach and caustic solutions. Coverage for damage includes liquid marks and rings, breakage of frames and panels, gouges, dents, scratches and chips that penetrate the finish, cigarette burns, household heat marks, checking, cracking, bubbling or peeling of finish resulting from a specific incident, lifting of veneers, warping, glass or mirror chipping or breakage, loss of silvering on mirrors, failure of integral electrical components, and nail polish remover.
How to file a claim?
All customer claim submissions will be processed through MFS. Please have your original sales receipt and protection plan number which can be found on the cover of your chosen plan. The customer calls the MFS customer service line. 80% of the calls are answered by a “live” customer service representative in 30 seconds or less. You must call within 14 days of first noticing the problem. (Industry competitors deny any claim that is reported after 5 days of occurrence). The customer service staff will verify the plan purchase and qualify the incident.
If the problem is a simple stain, the customer service representative may offer a free self-help kit and/or self-help instructions. The kit, if appropriate, will be sent by the end of the next business day.
If the problem requires professional service, or if the self-help assistance was not sufficient, MFS will initiate a work order with a professional technician by the end of the next business day. The technician will set an appointment with the customer within 5 business days or less to provide professional in-home service. 80 % of all service orders are completed within 10 business days or less from the date the valid claim originated.
If the technician cannot successfully resolve the problem, MFS will initiate a replacement order with FOW by the end of the next business day. In the event that replacement is required of a piece of furniture that is no longer available, the customer can re-select all matching pieces, of equal or lesser value, so the customer will not be left with mismatched pieces. For example: Customer buys a matching sofa, loveseat, and chair along with the chosen protection plan, and the sofa requires a replacement, but that particular sofa has been discontinued or is no longer available during the 5-year period. Then, the customer can reselect all three matching pieces, even though only the sofa needs to be replaced, so the customer will not be left with mismatched pieces.
If the replacement is required, the customer is not responsible for shipping costs. All shipping costs are covered by the chosen MFS protection plan.

Bowl for a Balanced Meal
Diposting oleh fatih
This bowl is meant to enhance the user’s dining experience and awareness through a subtle play on balance. Filling the bowl with food causes the bowl to balance in a standard, horizontal position. As the food is eaten, the bowl slowly rocks back towards the user, making the remaining food more accessible and marking the end of the meal.

Bag Stools by Gitta Gschwendtner

Design Museum and Time Out have commissioned Gitta Gschwendtner to investigate the tangible link between design and the city in an installation for the Design Museum Tank exploring the theme “Consume”. Referencing material consumption, Gitta Gschwendtner has created woodcrete stools cast from moulds based on paper shopping bags. Their individual, irregular form is created during the casting process and the woodcrete is made up from a mixture of concrete and wood fibres which makes it lighter and a more environmentally friendly material. The stools provide the visitor with a place to experience a contemplative moment to sit and consume the view of London, taking in its sights and sounds and presenting an alternative to the materialistic consumption prevalent in our lives today.

More than any of this, the guitar is simply a great guitar to play. The maple body gives it a smooth, rounded tone, while the walnut cap adds sustain. Combined with the Alumitone pickups, the overall tone is bright, full and clear. The body contours make it very comfortable to play and its ergonomics are second to none. To the untrained eye, it is a very different to existing designs; to the avid guitar player, it is completely different to anything out there, both in appearance and feel.

Leather Guide

There are 3 distinct finishes that are applied to leathers:
The protected leathers feature a heavier pigment that is usually opaque and coats the grain very consistently. These leathers are extremely stain resistant, durable, and are slightly cooler to the touch.
Semi-aniline leathers leathers are a combination of pigment and aniline. The combination of aniline and pigment enhances the uniformity in color. They offer stain resistance while remaining soft to the touch.
Fully aniline leathers feature a transparent, organic color and are much more delicate. Fully aniline leathers color the hide but don’t coat it completely. They’re not as stain resistant as pigmented leathers but are much warmer to the touch.
