I just bought the jc pennys cooks brand 13pc set(tri ply stainless not copper) a month ago and I couldnt be happier.I coudlnt afford the all clad and this is my first experience cooking with stainless.I read good reviews on the cooks and luckily it was on sale at pennys for 149.00. After reading reviews about stainelss sticking and hard clean up I was a bit apprehensive but let me tell you the cooks cookware cleans up like a dream, seriously. I dont cook on high heat, usually setting 7 is as high as Ive cooked with it but clean up is a breeze.I use bar keepers friend and they come out like brand new.I am amazed at frying my eggs, a light spray of cooking oil and I can flip the eggs in the pan, then slide them off on a plate..no mess whatsoever...bacon wasnt a problem either.I like the weight of the pieces,not too heavy but not too thin either.The "new" revereware I think is thinner than the old revereware but this cooks is still heavier than the old revereware. They feel well made and the stainless interior is smooth not rough turned like a philippe richard fryer pan I bought which is rough and turned dull inside after I used bar keepers friend on it.This set of cooks is a big step up for me since I cant afford much, but Im very pleased and happy with my purchase.If the copper set is as nice as the stainless you will be happy.

please o please...i know someone MUST know someone that has bought from samsclub?? the few items in the store locally look and feel very study, but all they had in leather was an ottoman. so if ANYONE knows anything about their leather furniture, please post!!!!

But speaking as a shopper, I think it was a mistake to homogenize them as Macy's. It felt like we were losing part of the city's identity. I'm pretty sure most people don't know and it's evident if you listen and read to what they say and write. Who cares what a store is named? So, basically it would be okay to shop at Field's even though it's a 100% Macy's store? Where was all of this clamor when the discount mass merchandiser, one small step above WalMart, Target owned Field's for over 10 years? Why weren't people crying then? Oh wait, they left the name alone. So, even though you were shopping in a glorified Target/Dayton-Hudson store that wasn't anything close to the original Marshall Field's, it was okay because they *called* it Marshall Field's? Got it. People with handouts about bringing Marshall Field's back in front on the State St. store are laughable and silly at best. How exactly are they going to accomplish that? I'd love to meet some of these retail geniuses. From their website: Our group continues to work hard to restore this icon's distinctively Chicago quality, service and culture, as well as the name "Marshall Field's." What? There has not been a Marshall Field's culture in Chicago for at least 30 years - where have all of these brilliant business people been?

I bought just the slipcovers for a chaise, chair and my sofa. The chair covers were "loden". All are really well made, taylored to fit and not even the JCP frames. I measured to make sure, but the size is fairly standard. The twill is heavy and wrinkled after washing. Needs to be replaced on furniture while damp or ironed. The red/tan stripe is a wonderful fabric (different from twill, doesn't wrinkle) and I love it. All has held up well. I'm waiting for the velvet red to come down in price. Their prices have been the same since last spring. Waiting though could mean losing out on what is avaliable. Definitely read the JCP reviews written/posted. Although I would want to go to the store and sit in the chairs. This set is a bit smaller than the norm. You can also find these on ebay at a lower price (shipping costs would take care of taxes having to be paid). An extra set is great for the changing of seasons.
