Love the fabric - who makes the chairs?

12 years ago

So, I found a fabric for chairs that I love. I do not love the price of the chairs/ottoman. I found the fabric through Smith Bros. furniture. How can I find another furniture mfg. that has this same fabric choice?

The sales rep. did say it was a new fabric, so could it for now be limited to Smith Bros.?

There is only a number on the fabric, no mfg, etc.

Jeanie, I bought a sofa and LS from Smith Brothers a couple of years ago. During my many visits to the retailer trying to select fabrics, I discovered the same fabric in the SB line that my DD had on her throw pillows on a Temple sofa. So I'm assuming that the manufacturers do use some of the same fabrics. I think Temple is around the same price range though.

FYI, Smith Bros. is expensive, but well worth it. My previous LR furniture was 25 years old - reupholstered once, just because I wanted a change. I saw your chair in your other post - I like it.

Thanks Tuesday - I know SB is good quality - and I'm use to good quality pieces, but as I'm getting older and like so many styles and fabrics, if I want to get new chairs I wouldnt do it. I would worry about the original amount I paid.

It's a Cherner chair, designed by Norman Cherner in 1958, and still made to original specs by the Cherner co. The armchair, as pictured is about $1029 retail. No arms, about $730. They are complicated in design with more layers of plywood at the bend, tapering to less layers toward the edges.

Never heard of Lennox for furniture -- and finding it at Furniture Depot gives me some pause (not because I know them or anything bad about them -- but because I don't know anything about them and it sounds so "big box" KWIM?). The construction sounds good and finding it there verifies that the seller is not making that up. Is the chair new to the seller? Do you know why they are selling it? Have you seen it and sat in it?

I just finished decorating a client's house and she requested a chair and a half for her "reading nook". I personally had never looked for a chair and a half, but the good quality definitely starts in the $2400 range, after looking at the various furniture stores around here. I think you need to watch out for the back pillow seat rest in the above pic to look crumbled and disheveled after awhile. I ended up getting my client a regular stuffed/tailored chair and ottoman for her area for the $2400 instead. I thought it would be more comfortable for her, and also in her situation, the room was too small for the chair and a half.
