Chaise avec accoudoirs de table Maui (Ensemble de 2)

We paid [$] for the Maui chair by Vico Magistretti and it developed a large crack where the back and seat portion transition. We have used it very lightly and it's obvious the design and materials are defective. I have not yet pursued this issue but I would not recommend this chair. For what you get, it's very pricey so if you don't have [$] to throw away, don't get it. The other reviewer's experience with the manufacturer makes me suspicious - it makes me wonder if the company is getting lots of calls. It's disgraceful not to stand behind an expensive, top of the line designer product.

The plastic fails; cracking occurs and even in one case the back broke away from the seat. Kartell will not answer emails and advised Australian retail store that seat relacements are not avaalable; No offer received to replace.
