The first 90 days set the tone for how furniture wears. Delivery inspection, protection, placement, and early habit-building prevent many warranty and care problems later.
On delivery day
- Inspect frames, seams, hardware, legs, finish, and fabric before the delivery team leaves when possible.
- Photograph labels, tags, warranty cards, and any concerns right away.
- Confirm felt pads, levelers, protectors, and correct placement before daily use begins.
First 30–90 days
- Rotate cushions weekly as foam settles.
- Retighten exposed bolts after the first month of use.
- Watch sun exposure patterns before fading starts.
- Keep care instructions in a home binder or phone folder.
Key Takeaways
- Document condition and tags immediately.
- Install protection before the first spill or scratch.
- Early cushion rotation prevents uneven settling.
