Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • Where can I view your product?

  • I am interested in a specific style and fabric;  can you tell me where I might find it?

:  Please be sure to contact your authorized Clayton Marcus dealer to inquire about a specific piece of furniture you may be interested in.   They may have what you are looking for on the floor or in stock or they may be able to place a special order for you.  To find a dealer near you please use the dealer locator provideed on this site.  

  • May I have furniture covered with my on fabric? (C.O.M. ORDER)

:  Customer's own material, or C.O.M. fabric, may be used.  The only restrictions are the fabric must be of upholstery grade and must be 54 inches wide to accommodate our patterns.  It is best for your fabric to be provided to us in 1 continuous piece, however; you may contact your dealer for more information.  Your dealer can tell you how much fabric you will need for a particular style by knowing the repeat of your fabric.  If there is no pattern and your yardage is plain C.O.M. it will take less yardage than a pattern that must be matched.  Clayton Marcus can assume neither responsibility nor liability for durability, tailoring variation or flammability.  

  • Is there a catalog of Clayton Marcus styles available to the consumer?

:  We do provide each Clayton Marcus dealer a complete catalog of styles.  To see a complete catalog of our styles please visit your local authorized dealer.

  • Can you provide me with pricing information?

:  All of our independent authorized Clayton Marcus dealers establish their own prices regarding our products.  Please do not hesitate to contact your nearest authorized dealer.

  • May I purchase directly from the manufacturer?

:  All of our products are sold exclusively through independent retail dealerships and some national chains.  We leave the selling to these experts.

  • Do you have a factory outlet?

:  Clayton Marcus products are sold only through the authorized dealer.  At this time we do not have an authorized factory outlet.

  • My dealer has placed an order for furniture or parts.  Can I check the status?

:  Please contact your authorized dealer for information on your furniture or parts order.  We have thousands of orders placed each week and we will need specific information from your dealer to check an order for shipping and delivery information.

  • The tailoring on my furniture is not the same as the furniture in the dealer's store.  Why?

:  All manufactured furniture that is hand made by skilled craftsmen allow for some tailoring tolerances.  Your furniture may not look exactly the same as what is on the dealers floor.  It is the dealer's responsibility to ensure that your furntiure meets manufacturing specifications before it is delivered to you.  If you have questions regarding any aspect of the product delivered to you please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your product.

  • The cushions of my furniture have flattened.  Is this covered under warranty?

:  Only the actual loss of resiliency is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.  This is not to be confused with normal softening and flattening that will occur in all foam.  Clayton Marcus uses the highest quality cushions provided by industry standards.  You will see a rounding effect at corners and sides and firmness will be reduced as a result of use and aging.  To help maintain the life of your cushions please fluff and turn your cushions weekly.  To review any warranty your may have please contact your authorized dealer. 

  • How do I clean my fabric?

:  To successfully clean fabric, it is important to determine the type of fabric and the recommended cleaning code.  This information can be provided to you by your dealer.  We recommend a professional upholstery cleaner be contacted.  For more information on cleaning codes please visit our cleaning and care section for fabric on this site. 

  • What is pilling, and what are the effects regarding my fabric?

:  Pilling is a characteristic of many upholstered fabrics and results from excess fibers coming off the surface.  The release of excess fiber results in small "balls" or "pills" of fiber forming on the surface of the fabric.  This condition is not warranted by the fabric mills because it is not seen to be a defect.  It is simply excess material being released.  This is similar to the "fuzzing" experienced with new carpet or the pilling of a new sweater.  The concern on the part of most consumers is that the fabric is disintegrating and will ultimately leave a bald area.  That is not the case.  As with carpets or sweaters, the pilling will persist until the excess fiber is gone.  The best treatment while this is happening is to shave the cover with a battery operated furniture or sweater shaver to remove the pills.  This will help restore the look of the cover surface.  This may need to be done more than once or until the pilling diminishes.  Also be aware that hitchhiker fibers may attach to some of the coarser fibers in your fabric and can make the pilling more severe.  It is best to keep your fabric free of covers such as blankets and other fuzzy throws.

  • The wooden frame parts of my furniture needs repair.  Is this covered under warranty?

:  It depends on when you purchased your Clayton Marcus product if your frame parts are under warranty.  Please contact your dealer or the warranty section of this website.

  • My Clayton Marcus furniture is not comfortable or does not sit as I expected.  May I exchange it?

:  Clayton Marcus prides itself in producing a fine quality home furnishings product.  We are a special order company who manufactures many different frame and fabric combinations.  Comfort levels depend on the frame and fabric combination you select.  If you have questions or concerns about the comfort of your Clayton Marcus product please contact your authorized dealer.  Each dealer establishes their own policies regarding refunds or exchanges.  These issues would need to be addressed with the dealer.

SPECIAL NOTE:  IT IS BEST TO ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS WHEN PURCHASING YOUR NEW PRODUCT BEFORE YOU SIGN ANY CONTRACTS OR MAKE A DECISION.  MAKE SURE YOU GET ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ANSWERED SUFFICIENTLY BY YOUR DEALER.

  • If I am experiencing difficulties with the website, can I contact someone for help?

:  If you are experiencing difficulties in accessing the site or particular parts of the site you may e-mail us at webmaster@claytonmarcus.com.  Please understand that we will not answer product questions but only support issues from this address.

  • I saw an advertisement for Clayton Marcus products in a magazine or other type of ad.  Whom should I contact for information? 

:  If you have seen our product advertised in a national ad such as seen featured in magazines or television please contact us here at info@claytonmarcus.com.  For questions regarding local or independent dealer ads contact the store in your area.

  • If my furniture needs service and I have moved away from my dealer or my dealer is out of business, who do I contact?

:  Clayton Marcus products are covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty, which is one of the best warranties in the industry.  We warrant the wood parts of the frame against defects for what we consider to be the lifetime of the piece to the original purchaser only.  If you do not have a dealer in your area for service please contact us at info@claytonmarcus.com for instructions on how to capture any warranty you may have. 

  • My dealer is charging me for labor to repair my furniture.  Isn't this covered under the warranty?

:  It depends on when you purchased your product and the limitations of the warranty.  The dealer can provide you with information on all warranty issues.  While the dealer, who is the expert in the field, provides service under the warranty, there may be some additional charges such as trip fees and or inspection fees that are not covered under the limited warranty.  Please be sure to ask questions in regards to what is covered before requesting service.  

  • Do I still get a limited lifetime warranty if I purchased furniture in a clearance center of a store or "as is"?

:  It is always best to ask questions before you purchase under these circumstances.  Many dealers may sell furniture once posed as floor samples or styles that are no longer produced.  they sometimes sell these products in clearance centers or on an "as is" basis at a significantly reduced price.  This type of sale is not covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty.  When purchasing this furniture you may be unable to obtain replacement parts for the item due to a discontinue status on frames or fabrics.  Before you purchase always clarify any questions you may have with your dealer.  an informed buyer is a happy one.
