Reviews are negative
But not all buyers of the products of this factory managed to get high-quality furniture. The negative reviews that Kalinka sofas have collected can be divided into two parts. The first is the quality of the furniture itself. The second is the opportunity to make repairs, to achieve the exercise of their rights.
Cons
The main complaint about the quality of upholstered furniture is poor leatherette. After a while (a year or two), it begins to crack and crumble. Naturally, the appearance of the sofa after this is rapidly deteriorating. There are complaints that genuine leather paint is also falling off. Many products are upholstered with low-quality Chinese Oregon leatherette, which lasts two years at most.
During the warranty replacement of damaged upholstery, manufacturers, at their discretion, replace the fabric. Post-warranty upholstery replacement at a cost approaching the price of a new sofa.
User reviews indicate that the Sedaflex transformation mechanism, which is equipped with Kalinka sofas, is of poor quality: the metal bars at the head are bent, so the head falls down relative to the legs. The springs of the mattress during sleep painfully cut into the sides, especially in those places that bend during the transformation.
The top of the mechanism is very close to the surface, so you need to sit on the sofa carefully so as not to get injured. But the upholstery is wiped guaranteed. After that, foam rubber is shown from the hole. The seat padding becomes soft and folds over a couple of years. Some sofas use chipboard instead of plywood. Moreover, fastening occurs not with screws, but with nails!
There are complaints about the Kalinka-35 sofa. The mechanisms do not work well when controlled by the remote control, they leave every other time. The back does not change its position.
Complaints about poor service
The second type of complaint is the confusing payment and ordering system. When buying a model from the catalog, the receipt of payment suddenly turns out to be some kind of "left" company. After some time, when you need to file a complaint against the company, it turns out that this organization has recently gone bankrupt, and there is no one to file a complaint with.
There are complaints about the confusing payment system, when part of the money paid by the buyer disappears somewhere. Suppliers demand to pay the missing part, otherwise the furniture will notare imported. People have to go to court to get their order.
There is information that store managers deliberately bring the company to bankruptcy in order not to pay claims on court decisions. Therefore, deceived buyers gather in groups in order to file collective complaints.
For several months they are waiting for a replacement marriage. And the number of points in the complaint of one set reaches 10! Many complaints about the quality of service in some stores of the distribution network. Often the "craftsmen" who install the furniture break it or spoil the coating.
