    Re: Quality or Price? You can't have it both ways

    I sure do miss Jimmy Moore. He was an experience in and of itself - I don't think I've ever met anyone who has as much fun "working" as Jimmy did when giving a tour, especially to a first-timer, it...

    Re: Quality or Price? You can't have it both ways

    We just brought this Woodbridge Randolph Chest in today priced at $ 2,795 and made in Vietnam. Look at the differences in quality from this and the Hooker piece. It's cherry veneers over hardwood,...

    Re: Quality or Price? You can't have it both ways

    That particular piece will stay in the store as it's not actually defective, its the build standard that Hooker works to, they are not finely-made pieces and made to a price point. If that were a...

    Quality or Price? You can't have it both ways
