La-Z-Boy’s protection plan is more comprehensive than other warranties, going beyond the typical coverage of other service plans. Here are a few things the protection plan covers beyond the manufacturer's warranty...
In addition to protection, La-Z-Boy includes extras like a leather or fabric protection kit at the time of purchase, along with five years of free refills for the leather conditioner—something many other retailers charge extra for, increasing overall costs.
La-Z-Boy’s plan also covers not only food and beverage stains but also accidental rips, cuts, and seam separation for up to five years—protections rarely offered by others. The in-house service department ensures a high level of personalized care. When repairs are needed, their technicians will visit your home, and if necessary, transport the furniture to their facility. Even after the warranty expires, services are available on a fee basis, ensuring continued support.
La-Z-Boy also guarantees full replacement value for items that can’t be repaired, unlike many other companies that pro-rate their coverage over time. For example, Dan Roy, La-Z-Boy Kanata's manager, notes a time where he helped a customer with a four-year-old sectional. "He received full credit after the leather was discontinued, allowing them to choose a new piece," he says.
Additionally, after five years of problem-free use, La-Z-Boy rewards customers with a credit equal to the value of the protection plan. This credit can be applied toward new furniture, offering greater value and flexibility than most competitors.
What happens if my furniture is not repairable?
If La-Z-Boy cannot repair your furniture, you may receive a store credit for the original purchase price.
Can I get a replacement if my furniture is discontinued?
Yes, if your item is discontinued and cannot be repaired, you will receive a credit toward a replacement.
Do I get anything if I don’t use the plan?
Now that you better understand the La-Z-Boy 5-Year Protection Plan, it’s time to decide if it’s the right choice for you. With coverage against accidents and the option to receive store credit after five years of no claims, this plan offers valuable peace of mind.
