Hi Sue, Posted yesterday but evidently it did not update. I purchased a dresser and nightstand from the Grandma's Keepsakes collection, solid maple. Both pieces are well-made and heavy for the price. They are in a guest room so have not had any use at all since they were moved to my new place in January. I believe that they are good quality for the price range. The are not in the Mobel/Tom Seely class, but well worth it to me. Good luck, C.

To start, I am in Interior Design with 15+ of dealing with furniture as low quality as Ashley to some of the higher end pieces in the world. I have owned several Bassett Pieces thoughout the years and they have held up fantastic! Unlike some of the comments on here I'd like to state that rougher you and your family is on furniture the shorter the life span. It seems like common sense, but I've seen it all. Bassett has 3 quality levels: Entry (2-5 years), Medium (4-8 years) and highest (8-15+). so if you're looking to cheap out, don't expect a lifelong sofa. I also cannot stress this enough, ALL FABRICS PILL, with the exception of the ugly microfiber(P.S. probably one of the worst materials to put on your sofa, btw). However, Bassett is very clear about the materials that go into making their fabrics. So either do research on material (cotton, linen, polyester, olefin, etc) or ask your sales person, I am sure they'd be happy to show you the contents of the fabric. Lastly, remember that most people on these theads usually are unhappy about something. so you're only seeing the negatives, because most happy customers do not leave reviews. I am leaving this honest review because I too have had a framing issue with one of my sofas, however I understand that some accidents may happen during transporting, and the furniture is HAND MADE people, no one is perfect 100% of the time. Are you? Please make a smart purchase, and take a deep look into your family and how they treat furniture before deciding what quality you want .

I know that my MIL's was from basset and not my style so of course I ended up with it.. I thought " no big deal" soon as it's dead i can get rid of it.. well it took FOREVER to die.. #*@#(@#(@ I had it in the back room so long that one day I just flipped out and had to get rid of it.. still as ugly as always but still in pretty good shape. Mind you I am sure they have nice pieces and it's ugly was totally a reflection on my MIL's style Not Basset ;-) Maddiemom

I really like Basset for their quality and price point. Also, really good sales! We have a 15+ year old BR suite which we still love and has held up fine, and we recently bought a gorgeous custom leather sofa from Basset. There was a snafu when the sofa was delivered-it was san tacks that were ordered-but they made it right and offered for us to keep the wrong sofa (which we declined) while awaiting the correct delivery. I'd buy from them again.
