World-renowned celebrity chef Bobby Flay has filed a lawsuit against furniture maker Jamie Stern Designs over a $19,000 custom sectional leather sofa.
According to the complaint he filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Flay is very unhappy with the sofa he purchased in February of 2016, and claims that it's "intolerably uncomfortable to sit on for any extended period of time," per court documents obtained by Courthouse News.

"Despite numerous complaints by the plaintiff, defendant failed to either repair the Sofa or reimburse plaintiff for the cost of the unusable Sofa,” reads the compaint.
Flay also claims that Jamie Stern Designs has violated an "implied warranty" simply by selling him the section seating, as it “could not be used for this ordinary purpose for which a sofa is used.
