Which brand makes the most durable furniture?

Across the brands, an average of 18% of consumers reported that they had experienced problems with their doors, and 17% reported that their furniture had required repairs.

Table notes: Guarantee information collected 04/04/24; this may be subject to change and vary across products and ranges.
Sharps' 15-year product and workmanship guarantee stands out as the most generous policy from all of the brands in our survey.
However, most companies offer a 10-year guarantee on their furniture.
There was a lot of variety in the guarantees for installation services. We couldn't find any information on policies from Ikea or Homebase, so you might not be covered against issues arising from the installation of your wardrobe.
The best installation guarantees were from Sharps, Wickes and B&Q.
