Mitchell Gold vs Lee Ind. vs CR Laine vs RH Sofa
Comments (15)I would recommend staying away from CR Laine. I purchased a CR Laine sofa through Hickory Park Furniture in Hickory, NC, and it has been a losing and miserable situation since. The sofa itself looks nothing like the photo CR Laine has to represent it. CR Laine even admitted this to me and told me there are supposed to be additional links with photos of the sofa but that there are not for this sofa, but they tell me I have no recourse through them and must go through the seller, Hickory Park. I did so. At the time of the sale, Hickory Park told me to make sure I knew what I wanted, which was of course dependent on them since they are supposed to be the experts and advisors, because I would have no recourse once the sofa was in production. This was a lie. When the sofa arrived, I was horrified. In addition to be profoundly ugly and not looking at all like the photo, the cushion Hickory Park advised me to get based on what I told them I wanted was completely wrong, which CR Laine also told me was the case. CR Laine: "The Hamilton cushion was absolutely the wrong cushion if you told them you wanted a firm and resilient cushion." But lo and behold, the cushions Hickory Park advised me to buy was - surprise, surprise - the most expensive cushion. When I learned I did have recourse, from CR Laine, by filing a complaint with Hickory Park, I did so. I explained the delay was because they had told me I had no recourse at the time of the sale but had just learned that was not true. I also explained that the sofa was used by one person for only five months and is in brand new condition. Hickory Park's manager literally laughed at me, said due to the time lapse, they couldn't do anything for me. But they caused the time lapse by having told me at the sale I would have no recourse if I had any problems! His argument was like someone killing his parents then pleading for mercy on the basis of having been orphaned. All of the problems with the sofa lie with both the seller and the manufacturer: Hickory Park Furnituer and CR Laine. But it is me, the customer, who will take the loss for THEIR lies and misrepresentations and wrong advice. Hickory Park offered to replace the cushion. Useless, since I told them I had ordered a new sofa from Hickory Chair before I knew I could file a complaint about the CR Laine. Notice he simply ignored that info., along with a lot of other info. he simply didn't like. The CR Laine sofa is lightweight, which likely means it is not make with hardwood. It is a hideous design which does not show up in the photo, and CR Laine even acknowledged it's a strange style. The Better Business Bureau down there was useless, as all BBBs are. Likely they are paid dues by both Hickory Park and CR Laine (indeed, the manager from Hickory Park referred to the BBB "mediator" by her first name. There is no mediation here. Buyer beware. Stick with Lee or Hickory Park, and as customers, we have to do all of our own research because salespeople are no longer knowledgeable and are under pressure to just make the sale and will give you wrong information if that is what it takes. Totally, 100% miserable experience with Hickory Park Furniture and CR Laine....See MoreHow Much Do You SIT in a ....
Comments (18)I'm not going to say whether sitting is bad, but the problem here is with the phrasing... "... sitting was the worst position for a person's body, and that even exercising a couple hours after work at the gym didn't negate its damage." Sorry, but that sentence is meaningless. Worse than what? Headstands? Standing on 1 foot, with the other foot draped around your neck? And what is the supposed time you were sitting if hours at the gym "didn't negate its damage"? 20 hours? 2 mins.? The other phrase from a comment that is sad for any professional to say is... "sitting is the new smoking..." What?!! A doctor is using phraseology that compares the affects of sitting to to the affects of smoking? If he is trying to say that the health community is hoping to bring attention to sedentary lifestyles, well fine... but to compare it to smoking? They should be ashamed! Is it healthier, and 'better' for your body if you live an active lifestyle? Within reason of your personal conditions, of course it is! Is it better to sit or lounge in ways that put less strain on your back, joints, bones? Sure. But, come on, if "a couple hours at the gym" isn't enough to correct the damage from sitting, what exactly does this doctor recommend you do when you are done with working out? Run a marathon? Have you ever worked out a few hours at the gym? Know what you do? You sit down. And people use this lazy wording while sitting in front of their patients, or their computers. I gotta wonder if this is supposed to be a way of 'scaring' people into being more active....See MoreAnyone have the Pottery Barn Burnett couch? How does it wear?
Comments (6)Update: We went to PB to find out more info — after talking with the “designer” there we realized the Burnett couch was not deep enough for what we were looking for — we walked out of there 95% sure we were going to order the PB Pearce sectional. After going home and doing more research online I just couldn’t justify the price of a PB couch with all of the negative reviews about both the cushions and the fabric. We ended up going with the Bassett Beckham sectional — going into a Bassett store was a whole other experience — super knowledgeable and you can tell the quality is far superior to PB for a similar price point and they offer a guarantee where PB does not. That being said, if we had a smaller room that the Burnett was perfect for it might be with a try....See MoreIf you have a true farmhouse/apron sink how far forward does it sit?
Comments (19)"So far so good, but I believe I read the counter should overhang the sink edges? Probably to prevent having to see the caulk?" I don't like negative reveals. You may not see the caulk, but you won't see the crud growing under that ledge either. Plus now you have an additional exposed granite edge that can chip. Not possible with a slight positive reveal....See Moretibbrix
