Looking at a Kindel Loveseat

[organic_smallhome]

I have never heard of this brand, but this is listed on my local craigslist, and I thought I might take a look at it. Can anyone give me feedback on whether it's worth it? Thanks.

Kindel is a high-end maker out of Michigan. That's a steal at $ 350. My guess is you would pay close to $ 4,000 for a new Kindel Loveseat similar to that.

Thank you, Duane. I will definitely go take a look at it, then.

Well, I never heard back from the seller. I sent two emails over the past several days. Oh well.

I did, however, stumble across this Sherrill sofa. The owner said it is about 13 years old, but has been sitting unused in a study and looks like it's new: no damage, wear or fading to the upholstery, and cushions still thick and bouncy. I'm thinking that this is a good price? 78" long, 28" high, 36" deep.

Never mind. The seller just emailed me to say that the measurements he gave me were mistaken. It's actually 86" long, which is way too big for the space. Bummer.

The Kindel is the one. The Sherrill is nothing special, and those colors are tough to work with.

Hi Duane. Just heard back from the guy about the Kindel sofa. Finally! I'm going to look at it on Wednesday. He said it's about 5 years old, his aunt had it custom made, and it's in excellent condition. I'll let you know.

The Sherrill sofa is still for sale, only now he's lowered the price to $150. I must say, that's very, very tempting. . . .

Hey, Duane. I bought the sofa (posted in the photo gallery). Turns out it's a "Beacon Hill," manufactured by Kindel. I guess that makes it not so high-end? But I got it for $300, and I love it, so I still feel that I got a deal. Thanks for your help.
