How Does the La-Z-Boy’s Plan Compare to Other Warranty Plans in the Furniture World?

 

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.
