From everything I've read on the forum so far it would seem they are built for longevity and comfort.
I live in the Scottsdale area and have not found a major retailer that carries H&M. I prefer not to have to email H&M since they require so much personal information just to send you a dealer locale. Could anyone here be helpful to me?
Thank so much!
I think you're on the right track. For so many years folks put their 'big' money into decorative Living Room pieces that are lightly used, if at all. They would then go cheap in the Family Room, reasoning that the furniture in there was used daily, and as such would be subject to more wear and tear (correctly I might add). But this leads to pieces that break down relatively quickly and ultimately a bad buying experience. The daily use furniture is where you really need the durability and quality!
By buying better quality goods on the pieces you use every day, you'll find them not only more comfortable as a rule, but they can take the wear and tear MUCH better and actually give you a better return on your dollar spent per year of use.
I've often said that 'everything looks good when its new'. So when choices have to be made in quality vs. budget, think about putting less expensive pieces in the seldom used living room, because they don't have to stand up to daily use. It's actually amazing how long even less expensive furniture can stay looking good when no one is sitting upon it.
H&M doesn't respond quickly to email. Your best bet is to call them on the phone and they'll give you dealers in your area promptly. They should be back in the office this Monday. Give the H&M a test ride and see what you think. I have a 22-year-old H&M Recliner (Woodbridge model) in my house that is still going strong and has never needed a repair or cushion replacement. My choice in leather 22 years later wouldn't be the same as it was in 1986, but that's no fault of the chair!
