My lazyboy recliner couch and loveseat are not holding up.The leather is starting to wear through.

We are heavy users. 40 hours a week with 2 dogs. The couch gets slept on daily (don't worry it is my adult child that likes to sleep on it when home and not bed time) I think it is too uncomfortable to sleep on.

All repairs under warranty.

We had the mechanism repaired.

We had it stuffed. (It was getting flat)

The lever to activate the recliner broke.

I chose mine based on size, material, and the company and as a bonus found a sale and ended up going with Boll & Branch Plush Bath Sheet which is organic cotton and being the “sheet” rather than “towel” means that it is larger at 36” x 70” rather than 30” x 58” which is my favorite part and I will never go back to standard sized towels. Its definitely been a few years and I haven’t noticed any degradation in them so far though it is only one person using them.

Something I have been interested in trying but haven’t yet is the Onsen Waffle Bath Sheet which most notably to me is made of Supima cotton which is one of the best types of cotton you can get. The towel is also supposed to be thin, lightweight, absorbent, and quick drying. I have seen positive things from others on here before but haven’t bought one myself yet. A benefit those would presumably have over the ones I have is that because they are thinner they would take up less space which can be a factor with how big bath sheets are though Onsen’s bath sheet is slightly shorter and wider at 38” x 67” anyway. It may be of limited relevance but I do have a Supima cotton t-shirt and it is the softest, most premium feeling t-shirt I own though to be fair it is also a heavier weight shirt anyway which adds to the premium feel

Next time tell your credit card company.

Also next time tell Sears you are going go tell your credit card company.

I pay month to month on my phone plan and they shifted my payment date. For example I was paying on the 15th and now I was paying on the 1St, I lost 15 days of service. My wife called and explained what happened. I could see she was not getting any traction. I asked to talk.

I told the guy I need my money back or I am doing 3 things.

  1. I will file a dispute with my credit card company.

  2. I will let everyone know Total Wireless has poor customer service and essentially stole me from me.

  3. I will leave the company.

He kept apologizing so much told him that she talked to my wife again.

I called my credit card company got my money back before he was done repeatedly apologizing into my wife.

You would want to look at cotton quality first and foremost. Look for these 4 distinct phrases: Supima, Pima, Long Staple, or 100% Egyptian (the percentage is important as legally an item only needs 5 percent Egyptian cotton to be labeled as Egyptian). My preference is Supima or American grown Pima as the standards on the product are more highly regulated. These cotton strands are longer and resist pulling through time and typically get better with age. Red Land and Land's End Supima Cotton towels are excellent.

You should've disputed the charge through your bank immediately after sears customer service told you you're SOL. I had to dispute a charge through my bank after Walmart refused to refund my money for tires they didn't actually have in stock after their website said it was and took my money.

You are conclusion shopping. You are best served by stating the metrics of purchase and asking for help based on those the sample size you will find here on that will be less than 5 and conflicting and you be back here asking for your next 10 conclusions.

I provided a hyperlink to a manufacturer, AKA exactly what you asked for.

I also provided information that you could use now/future when asking a question to show that specific questions get specific results.

Do you want me to provide my credit card number and to wipe your ass too?

I am not sure what the OP is looking for, but i am looking for "slides".

Many of the recommendations are flip-flops or sandals with a backstrap.

I appreciate the Birkenstocks suggestion, but they will not work for me.

I owned a pair but they did not "mold to my feet". The foot bed did compress, but not to the shape of my feet. Admittedly I have broken my feet so my feet are unusual.

Any other suggestions for "slides" would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Buy a hand made one. I have one made out of a bull neck leather. It was like 20 bucks 21 years ago and it is still strong. I bought it Mexico and it is a bit stiff but damn we even used it to pull a small 3 cylinder engine out of a daihatsu where the chains weren’t able to get inside.

I just paint it black every 4 or 5 years

Kleen Kanteen. I’ve had one for almost a decade, it’s survived countless hiking/camping trips, 8 years of construction work, and numerous drops. It’s a little dented, but still going strong. If I lost it today, I’d buy another tomorrow.

Not a bad idea, but the quality is more variable. I got one from a craft fair and the leather was great quality but the build was so shoddy it fell apart within 2 months. I’m a fan of weargustin.com, I’ve had one of their belts for around 5 years and it shows no signs of wear and looks great. Nice looking patina on it now too.
