Fair use rationale for Image:BDF-logo.jpg

Image:BDF-logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

NPOV review

This article BADLY needs to be reviewed for NPOV. Right now it sounds like (and probably was) written by someone working for the company, except for the brief mention of customer complaints, which a simple check of Yelp and BBB will show is a much larger issue than this puff piece indicates. 2604:6000:6D41:D700:485D:864D:38F8:490 (talk) 04:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bill with no taxes and fees on it.

Bought 2 recliners and 2 pillows. Bill they gave us had $1665.97. No taxes or fees on it. Got a payment plan that says our payment our payment is $227.07 includes taxes and fees. There was never anything mentioned about a 12% fee. We paid a $300.00 deposit to put on for the first payment. It was never applied. Finally straightened out. Got 2 referrals. Didn't get $100.00 off the next payment. Finally got that straightened out. Told No Delivery fee. Charged us $109.00. Now they say we owed $2100.00. Don't know where this number comes from. Don't know how you can say we owe one price and charge us another. Then we have to pay we a card or a money order. Don't have a card. I find your business is nothing but a scam. I will never recommend this place to anyone. I will never buy anything from your place again. Yes we were late with our first payment because we were under the impression that the $300 was applied to the first payment. Tried to contact someone and could never get an answer . 216.164.23.85 (talk) 20:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
