After writing my review I was contacted by American Furniture customer service. They informed me that they could compensate me on the damaged dinette set. We talked a while and they said they could offer to repair the furniture or to reimburse me 70% of the sales price. The 30% would be considered usage for 2 years. I agreed to the % and returned the furniture. The only issue I had is they charged me to come and pick it up. I really thought that should be covered by them however I agreed to it. They said it would take 2 weeks to process from date of pick up and they were close. I got the check in 2.5 weeks. I am glad to see a company does stand by their products. I may consider using them again although I am somewhat timid. Everyone I dealt with was very congenial and professional. Thank you.
