He Said She Said!
QUESTION: Did Tin Roof advise customer that the leather sofa & chair they were choosing to purchase for $9,608.02 would require more care and you should throw a cover over this furniture? When you and/or your guest sit on this furniture it's likely that in 7 weeks the dye from your clothes will transfer to your leather furniture. You might want to consider another choice because this leather will require more care and you should consider purchasing an extended warranty.
ANSWER: Tin Roof Representative/employee/Independent designer. - YES
ANSWER: Tin Roof Customer - No the Tin Roof Representative/employee/Independent designer DID NOT.
Owner believes the Tin Roof Representative/employee/Independent designer! Therefore, since the customer sat on the Chair for 7 weeks (between 12/17/21-02/14/22) The Tin Roof WILL NOT exchange or refund customer's $9,608.02.
Original review: The Tin Roof Showroom and Design Center 1727 E Sprague Ave, Spokane, WA 99202. Loyal customer until my recent purchase. Tin Roof sold me a motion sofa & matching chair $9,608.02. Sales date 05/27/21, 16 weeks ETA-estimated time arrival, delivery 12/17/21 (10 days shy of 7 months), 02/14/22 initial contact to Tin Roof regarding a problem with dark spots over the entire chair (ONLY 7 weeks & 3 days, having in my home). Tin Roof NEVER offered a warranty on the furniture & NEVER DISCLOSED the type of leather would TRANSFER DARK SPOTS from clothing a onto the furniture. Tin Roof NEVER suggested I would need to sit on a throw when sitting on this expensive leather furniture or I would NEED to use a special leather cleaner to remove dark spots from the furniture. I requested to return with a full refund. Tin Roof representative mentioned "reselect". The Tin Roof DOES NOT stand behind the products they sell, when there's a problem.
Tin Roof sent a leather specialist to clean the chair after more than 45 minutes-hour with minimal results. Heather Hanley, owner sent me a "nasty" email saying it was NORMAL wear. She said the Bassett furniture and her would go into buying a cushion cover to replace the current one on the chair (never received). Heather also told me to throw something over the furniture when people sat on it to protect it. Hiding the beautiful pieces I spent $9,608.02 on! If you PM me I am happy to share my story of the problem and share photos I've taken. Along with the nasty email I received from the owner and the type of customer service you can expect if something goes wrong!
Letter to Company REQUESTING Exchange or Return with Refund:

Heather Hanley, Owner
The Tin Roof Furniture
1727 E Sprague Ave
Spokane, WA 99202
Dear Heather:
I am writing you this letter regarding my most recent purchase of furniture from the Tin Roof. Since 2017 I have had an on-going relationship with the Tin Roof. In 2017 I purchased a household of furniture from the Tin Roof furnishing my newly built ********** home. Since then, I have made many purchases over the years. Unfortunately, my most recent purchase has been a disappointing experience.
Customer ID: SALE TOTAL: $ 9,072.60
Sales No: DELIVERY CHARGE: $ 149.00
Sale Date: 05/27/2021 SALES TAX: $ 535.42
Delivery Date: 12/17/2021 GRAND TOTAL: $ 9,608.02
Attached please find a copy of the receipt for the Magnificant Motion Chair and Magnificant Motion Sofa ordered, as follows:
After waiting 6 months and 20 days I finally received the sofa and chair. Unfortunately, in less than two months the chair was showing unacceptable wear and tear. I contacted my representative Tin Roof employee now Independent Designer ********** on February 14, 2022, to discuss the situation and submitted photographs (see attached) of the chair. On March 15, 2021, your leather representative Clint was here to attempt to clean the leather with little success.
Consider this letter a formal request to schedule a pick-up of both the sofa and chair and issue me a complete and full refund of $9,608.02.
Sincerely,
Karen Schomer
