Normal Wear and Tear Excluded from Koala Living Warranty

3.17 The normal and expected settling of soft filling such as polyester fibre and leather

3.18 Leather grain variation, colour variation, wrinkling, markings, and scars resulting from the natural features of the hide/leather

3.21 Scars, marks and differing pore density and colour are natural characteristics of leather and are not considered defects.

3.23 Failure to maintain feather fill as advised resulting in compacted fill.

3.24 Built-up of lint/pilling is common in all-natural and synthetic fabrics with use. As part of the routine maintenance, the build can be shaved using a readily available battery-operated mini machine called Lint Shaver.

3.25 Wrinkles: We assure you wrinkles in upholstery is extremely common and necessary for your comfort. In reality, these are called “comfort wrinkles” or puddling. This is not a defect. You should expect some wrinkling on a high-quality leather or fabric sofa, as we are stretching upholstery over a soft and spongy surface.

All warranty assessments must be processed through the Koala Living customer service team.

* Variation Understanding: Koala Living sources many unique items that have natural characteristics and are often produced with raw or unrefined finishes. Koala Living's quality control team assess the product(s) on this basis. Therefore, if an item has only a minor variation from the displayed models in relation to colour, shade, texture or feel, then the item is reflective of the display models.
