    If the damage has been caused by misuse or physical damage then they could be correct in their stance.

    If the damage is self-evidently malicious for instance you are not covered under SOGA for a remedy.
    If the OP was to go for remedy under SOGA they'd be required to get an independant report saying the fault is inherant as the OP has had it for 6 months.

    No offence OP but has anyone rather large or heavy sat on the chair? I've seen that happen on other chairs when rather large/heavy people sit on them.

    Both, front split first then the back one went which makes it unusable.

    As it is over 7 months old it will be up to you to prove the fault is inherent. Personally i would write this one off.

    A colleague of mine had a the same problem with a chair he bought from Staples. He phoned them and they apologised saying they had a number of them broke like this and sent him a new one.

    These chairs are very cheaply made and they often crack like this, I'd phone Ebuyer and have another try.
