researching furniture manufacturer

17 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to find out who the furniture manufacturer is in Newton, NC, that supplies furniture for Arhaus Furniture. I want the Duluth/Camden sectional made by them and I am not in the delivery area for Arhaus(this means upwards of $500 in delivery costs). Arhaus says that they are not allowed to give information on the manufacturer. I want to see if I can order directly from another supplier in NC, so that I can buy at a discount. The only manufacturer I come up with in Newton is McCreary Modern. Thanks for any assistance.

Hey folks, do you think ANY manufacturer under contract with a major chain is willing to back-door you a proprietary brand sofa so you can save some money and jeopardize their entire relationship with that retailer and get sued in the process as well? That's a fantasy, its not going to happen.

Factories are there to produce volume for a given business partner. They have zero interest in catering to a single individual retail end user.

Temple Furniture comes out of Newton. But there could be others too. Newton is in the heart of upholstery country.

I've read a lot of bad threads on this also, but my experiences have been very good. The local franchise has been pleasant, helpful, and the one time a product arrived not to what I expected, they made right by me. That being said, I agree wholly with the other comments that it is not as simple a process as going to your local furniture store. There is a lot of research if you are looking for the best deal, and honestly, for the lower products, loss-leaders and sales at local stores often are better. When I stuck with the middle-to higher end products, the club hasn't been beaten yet on what I was selecting, anyway, and I easily saved beyond the initiation fee. It can also be overwhelming with the selections and catalogs. If one is a bricks-and-mortar store touchy-feely product person, this is a LOT of extra work to figure out what you want and comparison shop. There is not the instant pick-up satisfaction as orders are shipped, and also lacking is store guarantees and exchanges beyond what the manufacturer warranties.

I did the research for a full depth French door fridge--what I learned
Q
Comments (16)
To the skeptics who don't quite think I am telling the whole story or who think I am unduly biased: I came home from being out of town to a 50+ degree fridge with the entire freezer compartment thawed. I did some basic research and found realms of online stories about LG's well-known compressor problems and subsequent settlement. I knew it had to be the compressor. I called LG and they put me through self-diagnostic tests before agreeing to send out a repairman. Then, of course, it was a wait to even be able to schedule an appointment. The repairman came out, took one look, and declared this a compressor problem. He installed one of the new compressors and I patiently waited for the fridge to properly cool down. Within days it became apparent that the fridge still couldn't maintain an appropriate or stable temperature (I was using a fridge thermometer to monitor temps). I called back and again had to wait to get another appointment. The repairman came back and injected refrigerant telling me that sometimes when a new compressor is installed there is a small kink or plug in a hose that needs to be corrected/unblocked. I again waited a bit, giving the fridge time to reach proper temps in both compartments. It never happened. Freezer above 32, fridge in the 50 to 54 degree range. Much more back and forth with LG! I bought a new fridge. (And, the fridge prior to this LG had also been a french door LG. We finally replaced that one because we were sick of the monthly process where we had to disassemble the thing and chip out the 1" thick layer of ice that had developed near the freezer section due to a drainage line that wouldn't remain clear without us manually taking care of it. When we went fridge shopping that time, we told ourselves we wouldn't buy another LG. But, we were dazzled by all of the fancy features on the LG line and fell for them again. I wasn't going to do that this time around.)

Are you sure it isn't McCreary Modern? I know they make upholstered goods for Storehouse, C&B, Room and Board and PB, so it's likely that they do make it. It could be Arhaus has an "exclusive" feature, like pillows or tufting that changes it a little. In fact it's nearly identical to the PB Greenwich sofa with a different back.
Probably since they make so many different companies' furniture, they don't have an online catalog. I don't know if you can buy directly from them either.

I would go the Arhaus site and email that page to a NC furniture outlet. I'm sure they will know exactly where to find it. I just recently made my first internet furniture purchase from Tarheel Home Furnishings in NC. I haven't received the dining room yet, but am super impressed with the service and price, so far. I ordered it 10 days ago and they called with a delivery time frame of 1- 3 weeks. Everything was very simple. I'll let you know how it goes when the furniture arrives.

I'm in NC and was in High Point today. I wasn't looking at sectionals, sorry.

You might look at www.mitchellgold.com which has -similar-sectionals. They supply Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel and others. The in-store products will vary from what the company sells directly.

Once, I was asking for specs of a chair I was really interested in. The salesperson, pulled out a spec sheet, and at that point, I was able to determine the manufacturer.

Hi all, here to save the day. At least for the Emory Slipcovered sofa, it's McCreary modern. I just had a new base shipped from there with the sticker still on it
