broken sofa

Hi,
My sofa is broken it is apparent it is now negative equity. Fair Enough.
repair- not possible
replacement - discussing
refund - purchase price minus 20% which again is acceptable
1)Is the replacement supposed to match the value of purchase price or does wear and tear apply?
2) Would I be able to replace for like for like? Company is pushing for cheaper option.
T.I.A

My understanding is wear and tear now play a factor. In fact if they could get hold of a secondhand one to the same age and design they would be in their rights to offer you this.
The offer of a refund -20% seems reasonable take it before they change their mind"Save the cheerleader - Save the world"0 -
I agree, seems fair.Thinking critically since 1996....0

If the Leather as cracked I'd wonder if they had passed the OP off with Bicast Leather, there are a number of threads on here concerning this product.
