I bought a set of RH Belgian linen sheets expecting them to last a lifetime. I Inherited a set of linen sheets from my French grandmother - who inherited them from her mother – and they are still soft and pristine. The RH bottom sheet started developing small holes within the second year and by the end of the third year the bottom sheet is unuseable. I alternate my sheets frequently and wash them in warm water with no bleach. When I contacted RH they asked me for my receipt which of course after three years I no longer have so basically I am minus a fitted bottom sheet and very disappointed. I will not recommend these sheets as they are expensive and do not hold up to normal use.

I'm with flyleft, jakeabedy, that was freaking *hilarious*. I've never actually been in a RH store, so I can't speak to the quality of their furniture. And I know I may be the only one on this thread, but I do like that lounger, it would fit me, mr. sandyponder, the kid and the canines and I see it as the perfect place to while away a stormy winter afternoon listening to Tanglefoot or John Hiatt and reading our respective books-of-the-moment. However, I am absolutely, positively sure that it's way out of our price range, so we'll stick to the CL sofas that we already own and that are already nicely dog haired. sandyponder

Sounds like a bust. Replying to push this off the top of the list.

I had to chuckle to myself, after reading this thread yesterday then looking at the last two issues of Elle Decor. One had a 6 full-page ad (beginning with the inside cover $$$) for RH. The other, and now I can't put my finger on it, had a two full-page ad that literally said "We heard you" - about a smaller scale furniture/lighting line for those of "you" that live in smaller scaled homes/apartments/condos. I see where they are putting their money. Oh, good... found an article online about it "Big Style, Small Spaces" (linked below) You may or may not be interested to hear about a press release I received - they are coming out with kitchen cabinets. I guess they're doing well with the bathroom vanities. I was in the store recently looking at their outdoor pillow selection (ended up buying elsewhere, but he did say they had most in stock). Did not like the new look of the store - dark gray walls, weird music. Did not like a lot of the furniture, etc displayed. But I did take a look at the bathroom vanities. They seem well made - nice wood, construction, heavy, easy to open/close. Here is a link that might be useful: RH Article
