Problem with Brownstone Furniture
Hello, Duane and Everyone,
I have followed you to this forum from the one-that-shall-not-be-named and lurked for a while, enjoying all the great info. I am now looking for help.
I purchased a Browstone bedroom set in the summer of 2007. It shortly developed a number of problems, particularly with the veneer popping up over spots where I would guess screws or nails are holding the piecese together. On the advice of mogator88, I sent pics to the retailer of the issues in the spring of 2008 and received replacement pieces in July of that year: a new headboard, a new footboard (because the original was cracking) and a new nightstand. Well, the veneer on the headboard is again popping up on top and the crotch veneer on the front of the headboard is looking wrinkled in one spot. In addition, the side of the drawer of both nightstands is cracking. I am so frustrated and disgusted, I just want new furniture, but I don't want to lose all the money I spent. I again took pictures and am planning to send them to the dealer. What are my chances of getting the pieces replaced?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you could provide.
Re: Problem with Brownstone Furniture
Anyone know anything about Crescent Furniture Co. from Warren penna? I have a vanity from them with the stamp still on it saying it was made for houghtaling furnityre co....I have been searching and searching and found 1 dresser from them that is apparently a federal revival style. From what was said it looks like the company shut down in the early 30's and was only open for about 30-40 years. Hard to believe there is only 1 other piece on the internet. Just wondering if any of you have heard of the company or have seen any early vanities made by them. This one is in good shape and was my mothers when she was a kid in the 50's...Any info would help, thank you!
Re: Problem with Brownstone Furniture
Your post caught my attention as I have lived in Warren CO PA for most of my 56 years and never heard of them. I googled them and found an article on them on capital.net. You could also email the Warren CO Historical Society, email address:
warrencountyhistory@aol.com. I didn't live in Warren where they were located, so maybe that is why I never heard of them.
