From the website: Designed for decor flexibility, the collection is not only beautiful (Well, yes, it was attractive), but functional (And yes, you can sit on it). Each piece is well built on a hardwood (Is pine plywood now considered hardwood?) frame with precision tailoring for good looks and long wear (Five years??).
The purchase process was awful, and required a conference between the salesman, his manager, my husband and myself to verify that we would in fact not be purchasing a fabric warranty that did not include child or pet stains, spills, or other markings. Hello?
When delivered, we had to remind the driver that the manifest also included end tables.
I have a price point after which I no longer expect to assemble – this was violated.
Packing rope was stapled to the underside of the tables. Stapled.
The finish on the end and coffee tables began to degrade as soon as the pieces were placed and we stood back to admire them.
The micro-suede on the loveseat has been worn shiny from repeated contact. Like the bottom of a pair of dance shoes for those of you that have ever taken dance.
The interior structure of the sofa is comprised entirely of scraps of wood stolen from the trash of a middle school shop class. We know this because we have opened the sofa and re-bolted and re-braced the frame not once, not twice, but three times. In five years.
The bottom frame is currently braced with three landscaping 4x4s. They are out of view, but I know they are under there and it rankles.
The back cushions are completely misshapen and require beating into submission before any sort of comfort level can be attained.
The seams are coming out of all four throw pillows. Which, for the record, we have never thrown.
