IKEA Mysinge Sofa - dark brown

Has anyone else got any of these with dark brown covers?
Mysinge

We have 2 in our conservatory & on both of them the corners of the seat covers at the front have gone orange ?! Nothing has been spilt on them & to be honest they are not used that much, its almost as though they have faded but only in those specific places?? - just wondered if anyone else has this strange phenomenon

I've got them - ours look pretty beaten up and faded - what do you expect for that price though? I would think it could be sun fading on yours?

Its not like fading thhough, as the sun never reaches one particular corner. They didn't go pale brown either - went from dark brown to bright orange just in these specific corners !

Bizarre

ours have gone orange in some spots - either where something specific has been spilt on them, or where we have tried to clean those places? I don't think they are exactly hard wearing

how odd, wondered whether it would be worth contacting Ikea.....although they would probably say "tough sh*t" (in Swedish) - actually thats probably what 'mysinge' means
