Who manufactures Macy's furniture?

15 years ago

A friend of mine is in a hurry to purchase bedroom furniture and is considering two sets he found at Macy's. One is the Tea Trade Collection, and the other is the Corniche Collection. He says when he asked who makes the sets he was told only that they are both "exclusive to Macy's" and that Donald Trump helped design the Corniche Collection. The saleslady could give him no further information.

I was wondering if anyone here has any idea who the manufacturers might be, or any advice regarding purchasing furniture from Macy's. I've never dealt with them, and I'm worried my friend is making a poorly informed, hasty decision. Thanks for your help!

I am not sure who manufactures Macy's furntiture, but I suspect several companies do. They probably do have "exclusive to Macy's" lines. I can tell you that all of the furniture they sell if middle of the road, not the cheapest there is but not quality either, about what you would find in your "average" furniture store.
As for Donald Trump. He is dabbling in furniture design. I have three of his Office chairs, the Briarwood is the model, I like them quite a bit and got them all on clearance. I don't know that I would have liked them at full price.
If your friend goes with the Macy's items he will not be getting heirloom last a lifetime furniture, but he should be as well off as most furniture buyers out there.
If he is IN A HURRY he probably is not looking for long, long lasting furniture anyway.

Macy's Baldwin Sectional

Thanks! Interesting that they keep the name "Baldwin" for different vendors (seems so many manufacturers play name games). I like Ballard and have bought case goods from them before, but I think I prefer the sectional. I will check Arhaus and see if they have it on the floor. I also started looking at a new sectional at Macys called "Cologne" by Jonathan Louis. The single advantage is that the arm ends are actually corners, giving more flexibility. I may get this for the Rec Room, which is suited to a contemporary style, and get the Baldwin for the family room (after we finish paying for the Rec Room!). BTW, after reading the forums, I go to the stores and find that I know more than the salespeople. These forums are a valuable resource for consumers.

I purchased a King Hickory sofa and loveseat 30 years ago - used it for 15 years and sold the set for $200.00 - the fabric was still in very good condition and used every day. I bought 2 more King Hickory sofas and have had them for 16 years. They have also been used a lot and are still in great condition - the fabric looks like new. I am moving these to the family room and buying new for the living room - absolutely plan on buying King Hickory.

Macy's powered reclining sofa: said Natuzzi but was CHateau D'ax

Misrepresenting is very bad, if you have something in writing on your sales invoice that says Natuzzi you might get something for that. On the other hand, in general, C D'ax was always considered just a little nicer/better than Natuzzi. So think of it as buying a Chevy and getting a Pontiac. It doesn't take 4 months to get a mechanism. Talk to someone in authority. Macy's does a LOT of business with C D'Ax and shipments get sent every week on container boats. This mechanism could be on its way in under 2 weeks, be in the US about 5 weeks after that, and in your house 1-2 weeks after that. Yes two months, but that's better than four months, get someone in authority interested in your situation.

Melissa this should be covered by there plan. They call it their plan but it is probably from Guardian or Guardsmen. There are better plans and the coverages may vary. When you call them to report the damage keep in mind that most of these plans have a stipulation that the damage had to have happened in the last five days. So make sure you say it happened yesterday, when you had company and several people were sitting on the sofa. In any event legs are easily fixed. Go to Macy's and tell them to change the legs and they should call the manufacturer. In most cases the legs could also be glued or repaired to look like new. Look for a furniture repair company in your area. Due some research for repair companies who are in your area. I would say the cost would be about $75 to $175 depending on where you live. If you had to fix these yourself. Tape off the area on either side of the cracks with blue tape from the paint department of Home Depot or Lowes.As soon as it is dry remove the tape as you don't want to pull off the finish. Then slightly pry open the cracks and squeeze in Gorilla glue (from Home Depot) You could use their yellow wood repair glue or Tight Bond glue also from Home depot. If the legs are square you could clamp them each with a clamp you could also buy at Home Depot (screw clamp). Do one at a time so you only need one clamp. If they are round you could tightly tape them closed with the same tape, wrapping it several times around the leg. As far as the chip. Do you have the chip if so glue it back in place. If not you could fill it and color it. But in then end it would be best to hire a tech. You could even remove the legs and take them to your local highschool or technical school and ask for the teacher in the wood shop and they might help you. I did this once when I needed a boat hatch cover which fell overboard and they made me a beautiful fiberglass hatch cover and only charged me for materials. How long have you had the sofa? In any event I would be very surprised if Macy's didn't take care of this and just order new legs. If they give you a hard time ask for the store manager.

I wouldn't even call most of it average.

We bought a kitchen/dining set from them. While it is heavy, that's about all you can say for it. The finish scratches when you dust. The black paint has a weird haze on it and you can see Chinese red bleed through on the pedestal. One little knick and a whole chunk of wood came out on the side.

People used to spend more of their budget on good furniture. Now, with all the 'service' spending (cable, internet, cell phone, etc), there's not as much money left to throw around.

It's going to get worse. Shipping is going to go through the roof so those great Chinese "bargains" are going to get pricey, also.

Believe it or not, I'm not trying to attack another nation or trying to wave the flag here, it's just that most of what's coming over, isn't too hot. That includes most of the middle/high end retailers, too.

Many furniture manufacturers/importers sell to Macy's. Typically, Macy's will ask the company to make certain changes to an existing line to make it more "exclusive" to them.

As you might expect, the quality and pricing varies from supplier to supplier.

I was furniture shopping in Macy's a couple of weeks ago. The sales gal told me that most of Macy's case goods (non-upholstered furniture) comes from Asia, and most upholstered furniture is U.S. made.

Dont waste your time with Macys funiture. You pay a premium price thinking you get good quality and its not. I spent over five thousand dollars on a Marthe Stewart bedroom set and it it falling apart. Not from use or abuse, but the glue that holds the laminates together is failling and the top veneer of my dresser is actually peeling off. I called Macys and they told me i was out of luck. Never again!!!
