You get what you pay for-- most of the time. I buy most of my furniture from a local store that has been in business since 1939. They have H & M, Bradington Young and other higher end...
Beautiful leather. I may have to get me a recliner in that leather one day.
That really is a nice piece. Looks so good.
Duane, I appreciate all you've done for all of us with this forum. I've learned more here than I've ever learned anywhere else. I've had several furniture stores say "oh this leather is...
Hancock and Moore must be getting more requests for Fabric for their furniture. I know they have always mainly done leather.
As far as Fabric, based on what I've read here, never use it on a...
Fortunately, I got rid of polyester pants years ago. I try to only wear Cotton or wool clothing. My mother had a very small chair recovered-- $200 for the fabric and $300 for Labor. I imagine a...
Everybody-- Listen to Duane-- He is correct. My two B-Y recliners are going to the Consignment shop. They are only 1 year old. Although as mentioned above, I seem to get hot with leather furniture,...
Sorry you have had so much to endure. Your parents are lucky to have a son who makes sure they are taken care of-- not everybody does that nowdays. My father is deceased and my Mother is 80 and...
I left them a good review on Yelp and they responded to it and appreciated it. I know they probably get beat up all the time by folks. There can't be much of a profit margin in that business and...
I hope the move with your Mother went as well as it could. It's tough for elderly folks to give up their home and possessions. I dread the day my mother has to go to assisted living.
I had 2 Jessica Charles Chairs and an ottoman delivered this past Monday Aug 21st. It could not have been a better experience. A nice lady from A/O called me on Tuesday Aug 15th and told me my...
I fully understand why they did this-- and I wonder if they will lose many sales. I guess that will depend on how many of H&M dealers actually honor the new policy. I imagine that was a difficult...
Yes, Leather is much more durable. I've tried leather furniture on two different occasions. I end up getting rid of it quickly. I seem to sweat in and if I'm not comfortable in it, then I've...
I have 2 Bradington Young Lancaster recliners covered in a Crypton Fabric. It's a Greek Key pattern that comes in about 5 colors. I thought I read on the sample swatch that it was about 50% cotton,...
I have an empty Living Room now waiting on Furniture that will probably arrive in the next 30-45 days. I sold the other stuff last week. But fortunately for me, it's no big deal. I rarely ever sit...
Looks like a pretty piece to me.
You're right Duane-- I think I have my answer. I believe the sofa I had several years back that had loose back cushions had a lot of down in them. Down is probably just too soft for the back of a...
I am thinking of buying a new Sofa and wondered what anyone's opinion as to whether to get loose cushions or semi-attached? I don't care for the firmness of a tight back and that your rear end...
I was just reading over the forum and saw this post. It just amazes me the number of people that will use anyone and everyone. It's just plain wrong. Most merchants are more than happy to accept a...
That sounds like a total nightmare. But I am not surprised. I had an Aunt who passed away in 2010. We found all of her tax records complete with all the accompanying documentation back to 1959. ...
I have no idea-- some other more experienced folks on the forum may can tell by the picture. You are correct that in good furniture you would expect hardwood under a veneer. Some intricate...
I personally would not buy a piece of furniture with MDF in it- much less pay what Stickley costs.
That was a great idea ! Your customers will love it.
I love the look of leather and its nice and smooth, but I don't think I'm cut out for it. As I mentioned in this same thread a few weeks back I used to own some H&M recliners that I got rid of...
I'm not a pull up leather person. I love the natural markings and scars and color variations, but I don't like the way it scratches if you so much as touch it too hard- so I'd be real unhappy with...
