I know I have seen that it is not a good idea to purchase a 5 year leather warranty, but we bought a Lattitudes Sofa, before reading here, and when looking for cleaning information found how poor it is said to be. Anyway, would it not be beneficial to purchase an extended warranty in case the furniture does start to peel or crack as some have complained? Also what about the cuts, etc. I have a teenage son who has friends who seem irresponsible when it comes to respecting other people's property.
