Couch Confrontation

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- The plaintiff purchased a leather couch from the defendant’s store, but now but cushions are starting to peel. He says he took the cushion to an upholsterer, who told him it wasn’t actually leather. He’s suing for a refund. The defendant argues he special-ordered the couch for the plaintiff. Plus, the plaintiff bought it five years prior to the lawsuit. He doesn’t issue refunds, so he’s not giving the plaintiff one.

Seriously, this dude showed up with a cushion from a couch he already threw out along with a recording of the sales staff blatantly lying. He earned that $750 back. Also, full grain leather couches can indeed last a lifetime if the leather is taken care of, even with kids, dogs, etc.
We own another couch and chair and we've had it for 14 years and it still looks brand new
That recording was epic!😂🤣👏👏I can't believe he's kept that for this long! I mean, it's what you can prove🤷🏼♀️🤣Many blessings lovelies 🙏❤️🥰🫶😘🏝

Youre not getting a genuine leather couch for 2k. But they did 100% overcharge him for that garbage. Should have been $800.
I bought a set for 2000, it's now being sold for 4500 by the same store, it was possible a few years ago. I bought this set in 2016.
My current leather couch is now 15 years old. Been through 2 dogs, 2 kids and a cat. Not a single "crack", hole or tear in the leather. Even with the cat scratches. Wasn't custom either, just Ikea.
My sister has had a red leather couch for over 20 years old and looks new.
She has a flex steal sectional, before they stopped making good stuff and started making hideous garbage, that’s white and leather and it’s over 10 years old and looks new. I would buy that couch if I could it’s perfect in size, comfort and style, but I digress (I’m not bitter 😭)
That's definitely not leather
A typical sleazy furniture, sales man. If you ever buy from one of those little stores, this is exactly what you’re going to get 9/10 times. Trust me, been there done that. Crooks!
The bigger box stores are worse usually their employees don't know anything about the product and they are waiting to get off or go to lunch and really don't want to be bothered. Plus the smallest print possible is presented to you saying after it is delivered and you accept it it is yours to keep. They tricky!
The case was entertained because it helps consumers understand that false advertising is against the law and because of him watching another case on PC he was able to get the courage to sue. Different circumstances but this show is educational and he just proved it
That defendant comes across pretty shady. He raises evasive answers to an art form.
defendant is a thief
The defendant is a thief, he was playing games. The look on his face when the recording was played said it all, the jig was up.
I'm the plaintiff. The store committed a fraud. I didnt know that it was not leather. I threw it away and for myself decided to see what this thing was made out. When i brought the cushion to upholstery place the guy didn't know what material it was. Then i tried to press charges but it was too late . Then i said let me get something back and decided to go to court. I should have gotten the whole amount back. I was dupped that the couch that was delivered is a real leather
If I was the defendant, I would have offered a full refund upon return of the couch. As the couch was gone, case over.
we have leather couches old around 23 years and two of them still look brand new, to be fair we don’t use them as much as the other two who have some signs of age but still if u take care of real leather properly it can last a lifetime. the defendant is crazy
Heyy pc family and everyone
WhazzzzUP??? 😊
🙌🏿
Hi Riah ... how ya be?
hey !! lovely to be here with yall
Hello
Not gon lie. Douglas know he look soooooooo good and makes the show so much better 😍😍😍😍
The defendant's salesperson was dishonest, and the defendant doesn't seem trustworthy either. But even a vinyl sofa wouldn't have that type of patterned damage in 5 years. It looks like a strong cleaning solution and rough scrubbing took the finish off.
Fair enough verdict!
Why would the plaintiff wait five years later to complain and sue.🙄
Exactly - that couch has been deteriorating for years...
I tell you why.i never owned a leather sofa b3fore and I thought that it only last that long. I decided for myself to check with upholstery place if that was a really leather and it was not..I even wanted to press charges but was too late
The defendant irritated me w his paying dumb, and was using the stupid act to submit his multiple defenses he shoulda just used the arguments
It's a good thing that he's not from Florida then!!!🤣🤣🤣
Lying sales people is so frustrating!
Wow that is awesome lbs. see what happens when you keep evidence?? Also real leather should last longer than 5 years.
The case name was really dumb, i get it but they were trying to hard on that one 🙄
Love the Bad Romance by Lady Gaga cameo hahaha
That’s not real leather, it’s synthetic. But that plaintiff after 5 years was definitely rough on it.
How do you know he was rough with it?
@ even with fake leather, that amount of peeling to where it’s essentially just fabric is not normal wear and tear. Especially on a back pillow.
I have a leather couch and 2 staff.s,who jump from couch to couch.and it's not like that...
The dude must need some money because this didn't happen over night. Leather would cost a lot more.
The fact that I know the case they are referencing lol 😅
Plaintiff is just as shady as the defendant. Ditched the couch after 5 years. And was too ignorant to realize it wasn’t leather when he picked it up from the store. No way that damage was from normal wear and tear. He doesn’t deserve a dime.
Never go to his store! He is a scammer. He knows exactly that it is not leather and one should not need to replace a leather sofa in 5 years of normal use.
Definitely could have won more money back if he didn't wait 5 years after purchase and got rid of the couch already
For a lawyer she's asking stupid questions she's has a horrible interpretation of statues. If he recorded in secret it's a felony in Florida. He was in a place with no reasonable expectation of privacy, therefore no crime would ever be considered.
It's quite the scam businesses like the defendant has going. Take a couch that's really just a cheaply made piece of garbage that should cost $499.- at best in a discount furniture store, but sell it as a 'custom' piece of furniture for $2,250.- Profit and repeat.
that is NOT bonded leather. that is plastic. the plaintiff was given a vinyl sofa!
You do not get a leather couch for 2k, nowhere dose it say leather couch. He paid 2k for utter garbage.
The Defendant playing dumb... You can clearly see that the cushion the Plaintiff brought to court is the SAME back cushion from the picture...
The vice president is pissed he missed this upload for an unhinged press conference
My First Impression Court verdict: the defendant looks like a scammer. Guilty.
Why is this case even being entertained?? 5 years after purchase?? The couch being thrown out weeks before the case?? goodbye
If someone sold you a $10k diamond ring and you found out years later it was cubic zirconia, would you not go back to the seller and demand your money back for falsely selling you garbage?
I wish she would have noticed on the invoice there were numbers which would have been the model numbers and she could have looked it up and saw how the described what it was !! But the guy should have done his homework and would have known for that price it was not real leather !!! I would never have given him that much money back !!!
The defendant is a snake oil salesman, IMO. I have a real leather set that's over 15 years old. I have had pets, children, grandchildren, parties, and occasional spills, and it still looks new and is in excellent condition. Too bad the store was not named; it looks like this is a regular practice. Buyer beware is accurate; however, being provided accurate information before purchase is critical.
He shouldn't get his money back. 5 yes and the receipt don't say.
Genuine fullgrain leather does not crack unless its looked after. Genuine leather can last forever.
They used feather leather which peels
BS Ruling! He should have gotten back more than half what he paid bc he paid for leather, didn't get leather, and didn't even get something that lasted as long as it should have. Colleges should use this show to teach what NOT to do!
Unfair case he used it for 5 years . Destroyed it , went out bought a new coach and now suing to fill the cost of the new coach. Unbelievable scammer
Well, in that case, they're both scammers. The defendant's salesman is blatantly lying to customers, convincing them they're purchasing genuine leather sofas. When in reality, they're buying garbage. The audio is the only reason the plaintiff got anything back. The defendant isn't an honest businessman.
these so called independent furniture guys are like used car salesmen. Yes they can "special order" stuff right from the kid factory passing it off as very expensive furniture marking prices up a 1000 % or more like this case. That leatherette couch is maybe $200-300 at the most. That invoice was pathetic ... Ripped Off
Leather baby!!! 🤩🤩
Plaintiff is a little fishy 🧐
12:06 Vinnel?
The plaintiff should've gotten 100% of his money back because what they did was fraud. They sold him on one thing and delivered another.
The defendant should've filed his action sooner.
He got 5 years of hard use out of it, he shouldn’t have gotten anything because he waited too long. 🤷♂️
I'm the plaintiff you are right i should have gotten the full refund. They did committ3d a crime but it was too late to press charges
Its a underrated
2250 is NOT expensive sir.
Faux is better anyway bc no animals are tortured duh
Looks like some dropped bleach or something 0on it.
Mes parents ont eu exactement la même situation ,avec un ensemble de canapé en cuir...des mois d economie, l horreur😢
I guess Tom Brady ain't going to the Superbowl Aaasshen real Problem
Couch guy is scummy!!
Howdy
Between the radio and the phone, how did they understand one word of that phone call/recording.
Ghosts transmitter
I skipped to the end lol surprised him won
Real leather is nasty 🤮
It’s extremely durable, functional, and sustainable. The native peoples knew what they were doing.
How did the plaintiff win without the couch? The defendant bought the couch back for $750, so he should get it
he did not buy it back. he was penalized a partial refund.
Plaintiff should have got more since sofa was priced and quoted to be leather
the plaintiff had no proof that pillow was from the couch.
are you nuts?
Even if he had it for 5yrs he should have still got more money back becayuse it definatly wasnt what he bought and payed for.
2nd!
🥳🥳 Here's some 🍪🍪's for being 2nd, that's literally ALL You get.😂😂
@@misophat2025 More than I was expecting! Thanks!

5 YEARS LATER ARE YOU KIDDING ME DUDE????NO WAY IN HELL ARE YOU ENTITELED!!!
Leather is sexy.. plus it’s easy to wipe clean 😉💋
🙏✝️✝️🙏
This case was frustrating to watch. Things just dragged on. But I don't know how the plaintiff won here because it's been 5 yrs. I thought the statutory time was no longer than 2yrs.
Statutes vary by incident and jurisdiction.
So this guy had the couch for 5 years and is just now suing? Can I buy a car and drive it for 5 years,and the first time something goes wrong can I sue the dealership,or the previous owner? I can see a year or two maybe, but 5. Come on.
@@kingoffarts8352that would depend on your warranty.
@@kingoffarts8352not the same thing. Maybe where you got the car from misrepresented the product you could but cars are a different beast entirely.
Forth! 🎉
I bought leather couch for 900$ it lasted for one year and become the same
