When the tear revealed old upholstery underneath, it became clear that the product was second-hand and had only been covered with new fabric to be sold as if it were brand new.

A married couple living in Istanbul experienced the shock of their lives when they accidentally tore the fabric of their newly purchased sofa set. Initially thinking they had bought a brand new product, it turned out that the furniture was actually second-hand and had merely been covered with a different fabric to make it appear renewed.
THE TRUTH CAME OUT WHEN IT TORN
The couple, who wanted to renovate their living room, purchased what they believed to be a brand new sofa set from a furniture store last week. However, during the move, an accident caused the fabric of the sofa to tear. The old upholstery and signs of deformation revealed that the sofa had been used in the past and was sold as "new" simply by being covered with new fabric.
"WE WERE DECEIVED, WE ARE FILING A COMPLAINT"
After the incident, the couple, who experienced deep disappointment, contacted the store officials but did not receive a satisfactory response. Stating that the product invoice indicated "new," the couple said, "They told us they were selling us a new product, so we bought it with peace of mind. It turns out they were trying to sell us a sofa that someone else had used for years. We were literally deceived," and they mentioned that they would file a complaint with the prosecutor's office.
