Re: Advise please?
I think you just have to go ahead and go with it, Jeff. I know that every maker out there uses some engineered plywood somewhere in their pieces and none of them put that in their sales materials. Perhaps just drop the "100 %" and stay with the Solid Hardwood Frame if the construction is 55% or better solid wood.
Even Hancock and Moore uses some engineered plywood for parts in some of their pieces, but they don't do the whole frame in them as does Flexsteel. I've heard the same from Jimmy Moore, where that kind of wood can be best for a particular location in a frame. As long as the whole frame isn't made of it, and subject to the twisting/racking, I think that's reasonable.
