    Any ideas in quality furniture at a decent price?
    Every time I go furniture shopping and unzip the cushions..I see some green filler left over from the kids Easter baskets.
    :withstupid:
    Even well known brands like lazy boy seem to fall apart after a year.
    Anyone haul quality furniture.

    I’ve bought a few things from big lots. Good price/quality and they delivered same day.

    Southern makes good upholstery.

    henredon makes good wood furniture, and harden makes good wood tables and chairs.
    Best bet is estate or garage sales where the furniture is solid wood and over 40 yrs old

    Restoration Hardware is starting to source from China.

    Google "North Carolina Furniture Factories" or "North Carolina Sofas" and a couple of good lists will come up.

    This is a large, like, fair or mall for NC makers.

    Look at Costco, not because they have a great quality but my understanding is they have a company policy they only mark stuff up 15%. So you get what you pay for. Or maybe some Amish built stuff were they don't use staples to hold stuff together like most stuff is made today.

    Another good maker

    Ready to Ship / Outlet - COCOCO Home

    Anything good, furniture-wise, is going to be expensive but these are the types of pieces your grandkids will still have around. Correctly dried wood, good springs, good sewing, etc...No corners cut.

    Don't go to ####ing Costco. JEsus.
     
    Dennixx and Upinsmoke Thank this.
