Jetton furniture - any experiences

15 years ago

We were recently in Hickory North Carolina and saw some Jetton furniture. We have not been able to find any reviews on the furniture and are not sure we are getting a good deal. The store dealer said Jetton furniture is equal to or better than Ethan Allen. Any one have any experience with Jetton?

I realize the discussion is now six years past due but I was doing a search on some furniture manufacturers that we used to sell in my retail furniture days in East TN. We used to sell Jetton Furniture and it was a very traditional, middle of the line quality line. For our price points in the late 90s we sold sofas for the $799 to $1199 range which was not typical mark-ups for upholstery, but due to tough competition from other family members was the best we could maintain.

They only had about 20 frames with about 300 fabrics at the time, yes they had the springs in the cushions (at an upcharge, which many of the mid-range brands had, you have to remember this was the hay days of Simmons Beautyrest and they had convinced people on the independently floating springs within their mattresses.

Not sure if they still exists, they were located in Taylorsville, NC though. I felt they were a decent quality product. They obviously were not Century but like someone else said, very much like an Ethan Allen. It had an eight way hand tied spring foundation with a solid oak or ashe frame, the legs were typically built-in as well, not the screw in type.

I bought a Jetton sofa, chair and ottoman in 1992 for my den. The cushions have springs built-in. There is no sag whatsoever in the cushions. This furniture is just as comfortable and looks just as good today as it was in 1992. My husband says the sofa is the most comfortable that he has ever sat in. The furniture is also heavier than many other brands on the market. Also, it is made in North Carolina!

We are currently planning on replacing the sofa because the upholstery is dated with the mauve/blue 1990's colors and we would like a different style frame. My mother-in-law loves the way the sofa sits and has asked for it. Of course, we want to buy another Jetton.

We are trying to find dealers that have a showroom with Jetton sofas displayed. Could you tell me where in Hickory you found Jetton?

You will not regret buying this furniture!

We saw the Jetton furniture at the Hickory Furniture Mart, 2220 Hwy 70 SE (www.hickoryfurniture.com.) On the second floor toward the back left is a store called England Home Furnishings and they carry Jetton. Thank you for your experiences.

Ive read some good reviews about these guys but I will never buy from them again. I live in PA and had a pretty nasty experience in July after buying a handcock moore couch. They gave me a great price but what came looked nothing like what I ordered -I mean not even close. I called to complain while the delivery company was still in my house and couldnt even get a sales person on the phone. I would suggest shopping around online if you are looking to order furniture, there are a number of companies that deliver. It's worth calling around, you can kinda tell when you call. good luck!

Any recent Ethan Allen Dining furniture experiences?
Q
Comments (4)
I have an Ethan Allen dining table with 10 chairs, a buffet, sofa and oversized chair. Have had for about 10 years. I would not recommend EA furniture. The dining chairs have fared the worst even though we only use them for special occasions. The cording has come off several chairs and the seat cushion on one is completely gone. The buffet (which they still sell) has chipped paint in many places and the closing mechanism doesn't work so one door is slightly more open than the other. Re the sofa and chair, the down filling is not full enough to keep the cushions looking "puffed". It always looks messy. Super disappointed across the board. I assumed the dining room set would last a lifetime and be handed down. Not the case.

Any experience with Furniture Classics, LTD

When I order something like a chair, I check ALL the dimensions first and compare them to something I already own. Because I am short, seat height is very important, so if something lists SH 22", I know it is not for me. The rest of the dimensions are important for the location of the item. Will it fit - is it going to be next to a tall or low piece of furniture, will the arms fit under the table,etc. I don't know the brand, but my neighbor has had very good luck with Wayfair.

We have a 96 sofa that is still in very good condition even though we bought it a very long time ago. The depth of the seat cushions were custom made due to my husband's height. It looks great and is still very comfortable. The cushions have built-in springs and do not sag at all. The furniture is made in North Carolina and is very heavy and durable. We are thinking of buying new furniture for our living room; I would prefer to purchase Jetton furniture again. We had the option of selecting the quality of the fabric, it has held up well.

I have recovered my Jetton loveseat for a third time, after five boys and almost thirty years! Fabulous quality! They finally broke the oak frame on my sofa by jumping on it! It did last 15 plus years! My loveseat is in my private office in my medical office. Highly recommend, if you can even find an old set to reupholster!

I own a retail store and we used to sell Jetton. They were a family business that went out of business quite a few years ago (maybe 2013?). There product was amazing! I have a sofa and 2 chairs that are 10+ years old, used every day and still look new! They have the 8-way hand tied coil/spring system and that's why theyre so good. Hickory Manor is a brand in stores now that uses that system, I believe.
