I have two of their Omni Bean bag chairs. The first one blew a seam within the first 10 months, and I inquired in April 08 via e-mail about the stated 2-year warranty. A Sumo staff member, Andrew Milligan, e-mailed me in June 08, and instructed me to discard the defective bag, stating I would receive a replacement. Well, despite four more e-mails and one letter-mail to Sumo, I have still not received any replacement, response, or further acknowledgement of my correspondence. I just want a leaky bag, under warranty, replaced. My advice: until and unless Sumo will stand behind their warranty (or at least have the decency to reply about a problem), I think you are better off paying a little more for their competitor's product.

We have mostly IKEA furniture - the higher-end stuff that more expensive and it's held up really well (most of it is now 10+ years old and looks great). The funny thing is, my brother-in-law really looks up to my husband (who's four years older) and has almost exactly the same pieces. IKEA no longer sells a large wardrobe that we had, and we needed to move it out of the house to make room for our second child. My brother-in-law was sooooo happy to get it!

I can't wait to give one away... hopefully early next week if I can think of an entertaining contest. I gotta admit, I’m enjoying the furniture.
