The one leg pad looks like it was damaged at some point. I have since placed a plastic bottle lid over it, and that should prevent future gouging. None of this could be pinned on Capital directly, but indirectly yes, because they contracted with a negligent firm. The irony of this is I just had a GE dishwasher installed an hour earlier by a GE contract firm. They went to great lengths to make sure there was no scratching on anything.... very professional. They do all of Home Depot local installations....go figure.

@Hugo Beltran: "Item was delivered and it is not operational. Ikea expects you to deliver it back to the store at your own cost and inconvenience." The warranty clearly states that "The limited warranty will pay for factory specified parts and repair labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship that existed when the major appliance was purchased." and "Pickup and delivery. This major appliance is intended to be repaired in your home." -- IKEA Limited Warranties

No our previous range was SS with a black top ant the black was really hard to keep clean our current range is all stainless and I usually just wipe it with a dry paper towel to clean up spatters. The range is a coarser finish than the fridge and dishwasher. On them I use a little Wyman's SS cleaner and polish about once a month it helps to prevent finger prints and of course we try to use the handles. You didn't mention specifics of what you want in appliances, but the old fashoned top freezer refrigerators are the least expensive, Maytag Whirlpool Kitchen Aid and Jenn Air are all made by Whirlpool and are your best brands. The Maytag and Whirlpool will be the least expensive. This is a nice range but over $1500 http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/KGRS505XSS.html here is another all SS for $1050 http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/JGB810SETSS.html here is a nice large otr microwave http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/KHMS2040W.html and a smaller one for less http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/R1514T.html for dishwasher I would stick with Bosch Kitchen Aid or Whirlpool. Hope this helps.

I just ordered fabric samples from CarolinaChair.com. There a few reviews for them here on Gardenweb. All reviews are great. Styles are limited but they do custom work for an upcharge. I ordered the samples on Thursday and I received an email confirming my request and another email to advise they mailed the samples yesterday. I'll give some feedback when I receive the samples.
