Sad, Mad & and Just Plain Sick

UPDATE:  I contacted the furniture store where I purchased the sofa and unfortunately, I do not have good news.  I will try to post a more detailed update early next week.

In the meantime, I would recommend any of my Florida readers who might be shopping for furniture AVOID the following :

Matter Brothers Furniture, Ft. Myers, Naples, Pinellas Park and Tarpon Springs, Florida

and any  furniture manufactured by

Capris Furniture, Ocala, Florida.

Remember my NEW slip  covered sofa?

It was time to wash the slip cover and since it was the first washing, I was very careful.  I washed it in cold water, air dried it until it was just damp, put it back on and…

UH OH!

IT SHRUNK!

A lot.

It’s now about 4 inches too short to Velcro closed in the back.

It seems to have shrunk the most horizontally.  It reminds me of a lady wearing a dress that’s at least 2 sizes too small. 

Stretched to the max and the back corner pleats don’t even fall at the corners anymore.

 

Not good.

Not good at all.

I’m sad, mad and just plain sick over this.
