I purchased 2 navy blue leather recliners and they fell apart piece by piece. While sitting in one, the back collapsed and fell to the floor. I had the lever for the foot rest replaced, but it did not last long. **Comment from Peggy Smith:** > We have no computer records of any customer purchasing 2 Bradington Young navy blue leather recliners from Albarado's. We're sorry you've had a problem with a Bradington Young purchase. If you provide your name, contact information ,and Albarado's invoice for us to research the sale, we would be happy to investigate warranty issues for you. If these chairs were purchased longer than 10 years ago, the purchase would not be in our computer system. However, if you did purchase these chairs from Albarado's, we may still be able to get parts for you, regardless of its age. **★★★★★ — Angela Broussard, July 2018** > Absolutely a pleasure to shop with albardo’s.
