When purchasing high-tech furniture like a Leathaire power recliner set with wireless charging, here are key mistakes to avoid:
⚠️ 1. Ignoring Material Facts
Mistake: Assuming Leathaire is real leather.
Avoid: Leathaire is a synthetic, breathable leather alternative. It’s durable but not real leather. Know its cleaning and durability traits.
Tip: Ask for care instructions to maintain its look and feel long-term.
⚡ 2. Overlooking Power Source Needs
Mistake: Not checking outlet placement or voltage.
Avoid: These sofas require constant power for reclining and charging.
Tip: Ensure there’s a reliable, nearby power source and consider a surge protector.
📱 3. Not Testing the Wireless Charger Compatibility
Mistake: Believing all phones will work.
Avoid: Some phone models may not support the built-in Qi charger or may require specific case types.
Tip: Test your phone at the showroom (ARV Furniture showroom in Mississauga) to ensure compatibility.
🪑 4. Ignoring Dimensions and Room Layout
Mistake: Not measuring your space properly.
Avoid: Recliners need extra clearance behind and in front.
Tip: Measure your room and note doorways, wall clearance, and walking paths.
🔌 5. Not Checking Motor and USB Features
Mistake: Overlooking the reclining motor speed, noise, or USB charging output.
Avoid: Some cheaper motors can be slow or loud.
Tip: Test the motion, listen for noise, and confirm USB ports work.
🧼 6. Forgetting About Maintenance Requirements
Mistake: Assuming all synthetic materials are maintenance-free.
Avoid: Leathaire needs occasional wiping and conditioning.
Tip: Ask ARV Furniture for recommended cleaning products for Leathaire.
🛋️ 7. Skipping Comfort Tests
Mistake: Buying online or in-store without sitting on it.
Avoid: Comfort levels differ between models.
Tip: Try sofa, loveseat, and chair all separately to ensure consistent support.
🛠️ 8. Not Asking About Warranty or Repair Support
Mistake: Overlooking warranty details.
Avoid: If the power mechanism or charger fails, you need support.
Tip: Confirm ARV Furniture’s warranty coverage, especially for electronics and reclining parts.
🚚 9. Not Confirming Delivery Options
Mistake: Assuming free or easy delivery.
Avoid: Large power recliners can be heavy and bulky.
Tip: Verify ARV Furniture’s delivery and assembly services in Mississauga or nearby areas.
🧾 10. Failing to Check Return or Exchange Policy
Mistake: Thinking you can return it easily.
Avoid: Custom or opened power recliners may not be returnable.
Tip: Ask ARV Furniture about their return/exchange policy before finalizing.
