Furniture Recommendations
« on: October 15, 2024, 12:08:53 PM »
I used to own a furniture store, but that was long long ago and I hewed toward the cheap stuff for sale there.  I've had my current living room set for about 25 years.  Leather.  Developed a couple of age rips in the last few months. I don't really want to, but I need to replace it. 

I found something I sort of like, but it's at RoomsToGo.  I'm afraid it's cheaply made. The guy was really proud of the fact that the fabric was made of recycled shoes or bottles or something. Why would that be appealing? I don't want that.

All that to ask anyone's experience with stores like

RTG
Haverty's
Ashley
Pottery Barn (too pricey I think)
Stock and Trade (also too much $$ maybe)

Or any other place (not Ikea).


Price and quality is the question.

It's expensive, but my Crate & Barrel stuff is still rocking solid 21 years later.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

I don’t think there’s one within 100 miles of me.  I do like their stuff.

We bought our stuff at Hank's recently here in PCB. They have one in Mobile also. We needed a flexible layout. They have a sectional that you can buy by the piece. So we just picked up the sofa sections with an electric recliner on each end. The pieces are larger so the sofa is longer, but that's what we wanted. They had a good selection and the prices were reasonable.

You deliver to Daphne? 

I am thinking i want a sectional.  The right leg (looking from the back) needs to be about 116" or so.  I can't do 126" Too deep.

So far we love it. Only been 6 months.
The pieces are great for bigger folks.

No idea.  It was family owned by my dad's uncle for years, and when my great-uncle wanted to retire, he sold to one of the women that worked for him for years, and she kept the name.  When we drove through Hamilton last summer, I wanted to visit my grandparents graves, we stopped at the furniture store, and thought everything in was quality.
