Amazing the condition my Stanley Furniture Came in
Comments (34)Daisyntn, Oh how I wish I had this information when the Stanley Furniture was still here. I did email Mr. Scheffer the pictures and the link to this site but I got no response. Customer Service at Stanley said once the store gets the furniture they are not involved. But I do want to call Mr. Scheffer when I have some time to remind him what he is doing to his reputation by not caring about what the stores are getting from China that does not seem to be inspected properly. I lost hours and hours an days of work and missed seeing my father before he died due to the furniture fiasco I had to go through due to Stanley Furniture's misrepresentation of the quality of their furniture and the store not inspecting it first before it ever arrived in my home....See MorePA House dining room furniture damage
Comments (2)It is a very upsetting situation, but you will probably come through it in fine shape. Pennsylvania House is good quality furniture, but it is not "antique quality." If your refinisher is a skilled craftsman, capable of making a new drawer and matching up the hardware and finish precisely, then you should be OK and the value of your furniture will not be affected....See MoreDisappointed with my LED recessed lights ... what now?
Comments (48)Light sources have a spectrum. In some cases it is narrow, and in others wider. The sun, for example, emits through the entire visual spectral band, as well as UV and IR. tungsten and tungsten halogen are hot emitters with various spectral bands generally characterized by their apparent color temperature. The sun's spectrum is close to that of a 6000K (degrees kelvin) black body, whereas tungsten lights may be 2700K and tungsten halogens up to 3300K. The latter color temperatures are considered lower than the sun color temperatures, but are called warmer. Arc lamps that are spectrally broad may fall into the same color temperature range as the sun, but depending on line structure from the gasses used and the pressure that they are running at, may appear redder or bluer than the sun. Note that as these thermal sources are turned down with a dimmer, they become redder (warmer color) even though they are getting colder, physically. Now, getting to light emitting diodes, there are two types that I'm aware of being used for illumination (excluding variants). One type emits mainly at a single color, but because they are not true laser sources, this color band may be somewhat wide. Combinations of these sources may be used to try to match the tristimulus diagram of human eye response and look like a black body emitter at some color temperature. High color temperatures are considered colder because they have more blue; lower temperatures are considered warmer because they have more red. Note that this is referring to color temperature, and not LED physical temperature. The Cree LR4s had a scheme for re-balancing the color temperature as the LEDs aged. As I recall they were available in two different color temperatures for different applications. A clothing store, for example, might want a higher (colder) color temperature for interior illumination, whereas a kitchen might prefer something warmer (lower color temperature). (No one should be embarrassed if confused by this contradictory nomenclature.) Cree provided me a (proprietary) spectral chart that showed that their color spectrum was broad, but not particularly close to matching a black body spectral diagram. To avoid any post construction complaints I bought a single lamp and tested it against my soapstone and granite to ensure that the green highlights in each were being properly illuminated to provide a pleasing color balance when illuminated with the warmer LR4 option. The second type of LED source uses a deep blue or UV LED (or array of LEDs) to illuminate a phosphor or a combination of phosphors intended to emit a particular "whitish" color temperature. These phosphors tend to look yellow when viewed with the lamp off. By choosing the phosphor chemistry, and possibly over coating with filters, different color temperature sources are created. The goal is to know what color temperature one wants before specifying the particular lights to be used. If you want a tungsten halogen color temperature, specify 3200K - 3300K. For regular tungsten, 2700K - 2800K is good. Higher values toward 4000K will be bluer and more blue sky matching. As an aside, LG was able to cut the cost of organic LED (OLED) TVs by using all white (phosphor) blue-emitting OLEDs with red/green*/blue filters rather than the more difficult to manufacture sets of red/green/blue single color LEDs. kas *maybe yellow, I'm to lazy to go look...See MoreVenting my disappointment and anger --long
Comments (65)Ah but I won't let it be concluded as I'm still writing to you! ;) This happened to me too (not sure if you read two posts up or not) but I did forget to mention that I got a sink with the hole on the right side too. I decided to install it that way and just move the plumbing because I was just happy the sink fit. Plus I'm left-handed however the hole on the left seems to work better for a left-handed person cause it felt better to me; I use my left hand to scrub and my right hand to hold the dish. My husband's right-handed and says he thinks it's easier with the whole on the right. So...go figure. Oh and with the whole on the right, I can use my left hand to scrape or brush all the food to the right and down the drain so I guess in that respect it does feel more left-handed but in the end if you have a tall swiveling faucet neck, who really cares - that helps a lot. Our reveal was off a bit too the second time around but we just evened it out best we could and made do. I don't think most people would notice the discrepancies and since our countertop installer goofed up and they had to reinstall a new (stainless) countertop after the sink was already in place, the second countertop made the reveal slightly off on the first sink before it cracked so I guess at this point I'm used to imperfection. At this point I'm hoping people's first impressions will be of the beautiful faucet and the marble backsplash tile and they won't first notice (if ever!) the fact that the reveals are slightly uneven around the sink. Wish me luck on that one! I know more than anyone (or at least as well) how disappointing it is to have this stuff happen. I'm so sorry you had to go through any of it (including the part where you feel like an idiot and a chicken/pushover - ugh) but hopefully it's mostly behind you now - or at least that the worst of the emotionally upset feeling has passed and you're now just kinda numb - ha. Fun stuff, huh? Question, if you come back to see this: when you wrote that you were thinking about trim, were you thinking of a drip rail? That's what I'm going to have our new contractor add to ours. Not cause the scribing is a problem (the second scribing job came out much nicer than the way the first guy did it) but because water really does splash over the top and fall onto the lower cab doors!...See MoreRelated Professionals
