Moda Furnishings Sub-Standard Product Quality With Worthless 7 Year Guarantee

We stayed in an apartment in Spain in June for a month. On check-in, we were told that they had discovered damage to the parquet floor but that it was now covered by a rug, and asked us not to move the rug or any of the furniture.
