I purchased 3 Kitchen Stools from lakeland Furniture. We had an initial issue which was dealt with quickly and no charge for a small replacement required. My problem has arisen no that after having these stools for just over the 12 month warranty period, 2 of the 3 have broke due to poor quality welding on the base of the seat. This has made the very dangerous as my brother fell off the back of one of them at Christmas. They are not willing to accept that the product is faulty and standing behind their 12 month policy. I believe if you pay for a product like this you should expect more then 12 months of use. I know have to source a new company and buy 3 new stools. I would like to think that if my stools breaking happened to be a one off issue they could replace them, but this makes me feel they get this issue a lot therefore take the company line not to offer any support/replacements. Very disappointing. I have attached images showing the poor welding (which is not in the right place causing the weakness and then breaking), you can see the welding has come away and making it very dangerous for someone leaning back.
