Re: Jonathan Charles Sleigh
Duane mentioned ordering some Jonathan Charles pieces back in 2009; he's presently on vacation so we'll have to wait for his comments.
I saw a Jonathan Charlies piece a few years ago, and it seemed well-made. The quality was much better than the production pieces I've seen out of China, but nowhere near what you'll get from, say, a custom piece by John Buchanan or (at a much higher price point) a piece by Councill. The finish had been antiqued - that allows for a certain degree of imperfection in the inlay.
Re: Jonathan Charles Sleigh
Jonathan Charles is decent for an import. I'd not worry about a veneer lift on it.
