Product Warranties |
Product Warranties | Note 13: Product Warranties We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties when we recognize revenue on the sale of warranted products. We estimate future warranty claims based on our claims experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. We incorporate repair costs into our liability estimates, including materials, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform repairs and any costs associated with delivering repaired product to our customers. Approximately 95% of our warranty liability relates to our Upholstery segment as we generally warrant our products against defects for one year on fabric and leather, from one to ten years on cushions and padding, and provide a limited lifetime warranty on certain mechanisms and frames. Our warranties cover labor costs relating to our parts for one year. Our warranty period begins when the consumer receives our product. We use considerable judgment in making our estimates, and we record differences between our actual and estimated costs when the differences are known. A reconciliation of the changes in our product warranty liability is as follows:
(Amounts in thousands) |  | 4/30/2016 |  | 4/25/2015 |
Balance as of the beginning of the year |  | $ | 16,870 |  | $ | 16,013 |
Accruals during the year |  |  | 23,592 |  |  | 19,017 |
Accrual adjustments |  |  | — |  |  | (953 | )
Settlements during the year |  |  | (19,951 | ) |  | (17,207 | )

Balance as of the end of the year |  | $ | 20,511 |  | $ | 16,870 |
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

As of April 30, 2016, and April 25, 2015, we included $12.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of our product warranty liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, and included the remainder in other long-term liabilities. We recorded accruals during the periods presented primarily to reflect charges that relate to warranties issued during the respective periods. Our accrual adjustments reflect a change in the prior estimates of our product warranty liability.
