Restoration Hardware (Maxwell Sofa)
Comments (18)@willychristianson.. Just to clarify regarding Bari.. From the Bari website link you provided: "Due to their incredible popularity, we have commissioned the original designer of the furniture to make several more styles.." Now, to unpack this statement, you need some history.. Richter designes produced the original RH sofa designs. www.richterinc.com. When you go to that website, you will see that it was acquired by Robinson & Robinson and was rebranded "EnergieDesigns, a division of Robinson & Robinson." This is a company out of San Diego, that holds several lines, including the LeatherTrend brand, which is manufactured in Tijuana, Mexico. Look hard on the Bari website- you won't see references to the Bronti being made in USA. You will also see the mfg listed as Ferraro, which I can't find anything on outside of the Bari website. I don't own this sofa, but I'd really like to see the little white tag under the center cushion, and who made it/where it came from. The buyer is to assume that if it isn't made in China, it must be made in the USA. But you don't see that on the Bari website. Only references to "old world craftsmanship, artisans, etc." And we have a retailer in town with what appears to be the exact same sofa on the floor ($3k), with an R&R tag and Mexico origin. Other retailers of Maxwell clones make references to made in "North America." I haven't decided how I feel about the ethics of marketing one less-than-fully-disclosed import as an alternative to another import (IF, in fact these RH clones are coming out of Mexico). Just sharing a little research-...See MoreRestoration Hardware lighting - any reassuring words out there?
Comments (13)"for legal reasons I am not allowed to disclose..." And what law would that be? According to the FTC, "the U.S. Customs Service of the Department of the Treasury requires country-of-origin marking on foreign imports as they are received into this country and until such time as the imported product is 'substantially transformed' in the United States or sold to the ultimate purchaser." So, if their lights are made overseas, they have to be marked with the country of origin. All you're asking the rep to do is read you the label. "Look for that phrase, 'Made in ...' - what's the next word?" If they want your business, why won't they answer? The rules for identifying country of origin are a bit arcane. If they're imported, textile products are required to be identified as such in catalogs and internet listings. This isn't true of light fixtures, AFAIK, but there's no prohibition on disclosing the country of origin. I suspect the answer is that Chinese goods are getting some bad press these days. Restoration Hardware doesn't want to own up to the fact that their lights are made by Chinese sweatshops, so they made up a bogus excuse. Up to you, but I still wouldn't trade with a company of that sort....See MoreRestoration Hardware Shipping Charges
Comments (15)I am just so annoyed. I called about 10 different stores all over the US trying to find a store that would waive shipping. I got the whole, well we carry that in PN not PC so no, you have to pay shipping. I could not keep track of what they did and did not carry and just ended up ordering online. I also had bought some laundry carts from the website a few weeks ago. I just noticed one had a huge grease mark on it. When I called to get someone to exchange it he gave me a full interrogation as to why it took me two weeks to open it and inspect it! I was so annoyed, if I did not have my folding station in the laundry built to accomodate these carts, I would have returned them all! Michelle16- Which store in NJ?

Comments (11)I think it's a great idea to choose hardware early in the process (we picked ours somewhere in the middle, which also worked out fine) because I was sort of astounded by how all-over-the-board the prices were. (I was also surprised at how we reacted to different pulls and latches, too---I sort of thought similar designs would be roughly equal, but the actual feel and operation made a huge difference in loving/hating different options, so I'm really glad we didn't skip ordering samples.) Ours averaged $10/pull in the end, I think (which was actually a mix of *really* expensive latches and not-so-expensive pulls) so it was about $250 all told for a medium-sized kitchen (plus another $50 for hinges, but that was a choice we made since our cabinetmaker included the cost of concealed hinges in the cabinetry cost but we asked him to use exposed hinges instead, and therefore had to supply them). But that could have been far higher or far lower if we'd made different decisions on exactly which to choose! (Also, because we picked them early, I waited for the store where we were getting them to have a sale and then bought them all at once, so it's very handy to know what you want in advance so you can buy on your own time.)...See MoreOlychick
