OTHER QUESTIONS

Do you have a brick-and-mortar shop?

Vepsäläinen has outlets in 18 locations in Finland.


I am buying a sofa and wondered about the differences between fabrics of different price ranges. Are fabrics in the first price range also durable and of high quality? Does your furniture have a warranty?

All fabrics we sell have been tested for compliance with the requirements for upholstery fabrics. In other words, they are very durable in normal everyday use. Some of our fabrics are especially hard-wearing and also suitable for use in public spaces, for example. The price is also influenced by the fabric material. The intended purpose of your furniture determines the most suitable fabric.

Does your furniture have a warranty?

All products have a warranty under the Consumer Protection Act, according to which they must be fit for purpose and able to withstand normal use. Of course, with time, the responsibility is transferred from the seller to the consumer themselves, as no piece of furniture lasts forever.

In addition, some furniture manufacturers voluntarily grant longer warranties for their products. For example, many sofa manufacturers, such as Adea and Interface, give their frames a 10-year warranty.

Dining table chairs by Fritz Hansen have a 20-year warranty against the backrest breaking. There are especially many copies of Fritz Hansen chairs going around. But copies lack the product development and meticulous finish given to the real thing, so their backrests can easily break when bent.

It is a good idea to keep the receipt for all furniture purchases. Taking a picture of the receipt and saving it electronically is a good way of keeping your receipts safe. If the product you purchased breaks in normal use before its time, please contact Vepsäläinen's customer service.
