I have purchased a Sonoma - Galaxy model reclining leather (so called) sofa and couch along with an extended 5 year warranty (rip off). Turned out that this is not a real leather and a top layer started peeling off making it look ugly and a cheap quality product.
I have read a lot of people having this complaint. While one of the ashley worker acknowledged this as a known problem, the warranty people deny this as a known issue on this model and they sent my request to warehouse (god knows where it is) for them to make a decision on how to address this. I have place this request 4 months ago and am still waiting for a response from them.
Not sure what the response is going to be. But, I know for sure I am not going back to Ashley store again.
