While, yes, Ethan Allen's products are certainly still above the quality of anything I have bought thus far, their recent reputation demonstrates to me that they do not stand behind their products, and are becoming more used car salesman-y than used car salesmen. But that was all hearsay, not empirical in the slightest. Again, more internet chatter than a holistic understanding of their current products/customer service. Still, I haven't found such anger and vitriol being spewed at any line drcollie carries. But perhaps EA has just very very poor PR skills.
