LILBERG SOFA at IKEA stores

Please please please stop the Lilberg sofa sales & also ban products designed by this desginer.The 3 seater sofa gets into my nerves!! Not even 2 years.....since I purchased it.It first broke on the 3rd month! The bottom wooden planks connected using the stupid small holes(The worst design i have ever seen) cracked & broke.Again it broke after 6 months.. all of a sudden ( 3 planks under the seat lost).i was so embarrased that my guests fell down while sitting on it.It was really , really embarrasing !!.I manged with a small thin wood sheet spread underneath the cushoins.Today..it's all gone...!! I fell sitting on it with my 9 months old baby...Fixing back the wooden planks between the tiny stupid holes is a nightmare!!
When I complained about this an year ago at the local IKEA store ( festival city-Dubai-UAE), they gave me an irresponsible answer and asked me to fix it on my own using a carpenter.



I felt like throwing the sofa out of my balcony.But controlled myself as I havei spent money to buy this.So I'm forcing the sofa to survive little more to justify the cost I spent on this pathetic sofa.

Please convey my dissapointment to the pity designer who designed this ( i regret calling the person a designer).

Please think twice, check thrice before you buy a wooden item from IKEA.The costliest wooden item doesn't mean that it is the best quality.It may be the worst quality too!!! the quality check AD from IKEA is just an eye wash.Majority of the products are inferior & cheap in quality.Some normal cheap items i bought from Karama shops are very good & good going!! never fall for brand names...[/b]

Again, did you go and complain that it broke? Did you ask for a refund?

I told them.Logged in a complaint also.They said, "Sorry.We don't have the spare parts.You have to repair it by hiring a carpenter'.
