what poll?

Rooms to Go is very entry level furniture. Mostly first apartment kind of things. If you want something durable with three kids, and you want it to last more than a few years, you will have to get a better built quality of furniture. Haverty's carries some good mid level quality lines, with a better longer term life. Many other brands and stores are recommended on this site, just go thru the posts.

Thank you. I saw the post about club furniture and am waiting to see if anyone has any input on them. We are limited here what we can get (new orleans) so I will probably have to order online.

You're welcome. I understand your problems in getting furniture locally in NO. I'm including a link to Mitchell Gold Furniture, they are a Crate and Barrel, or Restoration Hardware kind of quality (good mid grade) with a large selection. I see in their online ordering area they have a store in LA which could possibly be of help to you. Good luck.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mitchell Gold Furniture Site

Have you tried Hurwitz Mintz? You can find quality furniture there on sale. Also try Doerr's on Elysian Fields by the River.

I live in Kenner. My sister, who lost everything in Katrina, just purchased some bedroom furniture from Rooms to Go and it's beautiful and appears very durable and certainly not first apartment furniture.
