Negative reviews
But not all buyers of the products of this factory managed to get high-quality furniture. Negative reviews collected by Kalinka sofas can be divided into two parts. The first is the quality of the furniture itself. The second is the opportunity to repair, to achieve the realization of their rights.
Minuses
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 the paint from genuine leather also disappears. Many products use upholstery made of poor-quality Chinese leather substitute Oregon, which holds on for two years.
During the warranty replacement of damaged upholstery, manufacturers replace the fabric at their discretion. Post-warranty replacement of the upholstery at a cost approaching the price of a new sofa.
User reviews suggest that the Sedaflex transformation mechanism, which Kalinka sofas are equipped with, is of poor quality: the metal bars at the head are bent, so the head falls down relative to the legs. The mattress springs during sleep painfully cut into the sides, especially in those places that bend during transformation.
The upper part 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. Then foam is shown from the hole. The seat pad becomes soft and bends in a couple of years. Some sofas use chipboard instead of plywood. Moreover, the bond does not occur with screws, but with nails!
There are complaints about the Kalinka-35 sofa. The mechanisms do not work well when controlling the remote control, they leave every other time. The back does not change its position.
Complaints about poor service
The second type of complaints can be noted confusing system of payment and placing orders. When buying a model from a catalog, a “left” company suddenly appears in the payment receipt. After a while, when you need to file a complaint with the company, it turns out that this organization has recently gone bankrupt and there is no one to file a complaint.
There are complaints about an intricate settlement system, when part of the money paid by the buyer disappears somewhere. Suppliers demand to pay the missing part, otherwise the furniture will not be imported. People have to go to court to get their order.
There is information that store managers deliberately lead the company to bankruptcy so as not to pay claims for court decisions. Therefore, deceived buyers gather in groups in order to file a collective complaint.
For several months 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" installing furniture break it or ruin the coating.
