I purchased a wooden guest bed set , the bottom bed slides under the
top one and legs fold out to stand it up, They are quite smart, but
on its first use the legs broke , the seller sent more legs and
these have broken. The beds are available from many different
suppliers ,I am trying to find out if other people have this problem,
as the way they are made makes them bound to break if a normal adult
uses them. Any suggestions welcome Thank You

Leveled,

How long have you had the bed?

I would suggest that there is an inherent design fault in this product
(proved by the fact that replacement legs have also broken) and as a result
I will offer no advice on how to repair it,

but I would certainly advise that you try and get your hard earned cash
back by invoking the Sale of Goods Act (SoGA) 1979 (as amended) especially
if it less than a year old (and up to six years in England and Wales and
five years in Scotland)- see link below for quick facts:

And if bought online, the Distance Selling Regulations (DSR) could also
apply (but as the goods are defective SoGA would be the way to go)

If you do decide to take this road, don't let the instore staff fob you off
by saying that *you* have to sort it out with the manufacture - it is
*THEIR* responsibilty and if bought online, the company will also be liable
to pick up the bill for *ALL* postage and packaging (keep a close eye on
that one as they often try to dodge that).

If all else fails, your local Trading Standards Department should be able to
help
