Baker versus Taylor King

Good afternoon all. First time posting. Looking at buying a sectional COM. Have received quotes from Baker of $13,500 for Baker Element sectional which includes my material cost and $8,000 for a Taylor King sectional including my material. Is there some rational way to justify this price differential given that both sectionals will be used in a family room? I/m mostly concerned with longevity and value. Just my wife and I, no kids at home, and two well behaved dogs. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jeff

Baker builds a quality piece, there is no question about that. They also are sucharging a bit for 'name brand' status, i.e., the Baker label and paying for their unique styles. As far as construction differences or longevity, you will not find anything significantly superior in a Baker vs a Taylor King. Both companies own and build their own frames, both do correct joinery construction and webbing, both do 8-way hand-tied, and both are well trimmed using high quality cushion cores. Taylor King will give you more bang for the buck than a Baker.

Thank you very much for your response. That is what I thought as well. Regards, Jeff
