Kincaid vs Basset

Hello all!

I work in the furniture industry and have been super impressed with all the wonderful information available on this forum. Unfortunately reps in my area don't offer the training and information I'm looking for to help people make an informed decision so I'm left floundering around trying to learn individual brands myself. Right now I'm trying to quality compare a Kincaid sofa vs a Basset Sofa.

I know the Kincaid has been upgraded to 8-way hand tie, but was shocked to learn it's not a kiln dried frame like it has been represented to me.

What's the quick and dirty on Basset and Kincaid and where should I be steering my clients?

And what kind of life span should you expect from both?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, this is not Consumer Reports. Unless you can supply one of each for a teardown, no one has that knowledge of differences unless they happen to be a long term dealer for both brands.

The industry has moved to specialty plywood, from 6 to 9 layers, 16mm to 22mm thick. Very few makers are doing solid wood frames these days, CNC Machines cutting plywood are more accurate, faster, don't require skilled labor to operate and the speciality plywood is actually more stable.
