National warrants that each piece of furniture will be free from defects in
workmanship given normal use and care for as long as you, the original
customer, owns and uses the product. This warranty applies to products

chair frames will be 4 years instead of 12 years). National, at its option,
will repair or replace with comparable product any product, part or component
shipped after September 1, 2000, if the claim is eligible under the conditions
of this warranty.
