Comments (32)@woodskil just remember, & this goes for everyone on this thread complaining about shipping & delivery: furniture dealers/retailers are NOT the same company as who delivers your furniture. The shipping company is a 3rd party that contracts with the dealer/retailer & they only deliver your furniture when they have a full truck, otherwise they'd never make a profit running empty or half empty trucks everyday. It's not LFE fault for delays in delivery of your order. They can intervene on your behalf with any major delays & they should, but they can't force the delivery company to drive an empty truck out to you. Most of these complaints are regarding delivery delays & Duane, who posted above is great at breaking down exactly how furniture is made at the factory, shipped to the delivery company & then what exactly is going on, which will very clearly give you much needed context & insight into the various delays you can expect to encounter with made to order furniture. Also, to Twiggy above who said the furniture is nothing like RH, um YOU get to choose the configuration of your sofa ordered from LFE. They offer standard depth & the very same 46" luxe depth RH offers. If you don't choose the 46" depth option, you're not going to get it. THAT'S EXACTLY HOW RH DOES IT TOO. I'm just a normal person, contemplating purchasing a leather sofa & have always loved RH styles, so I'm very educated about what they offer, all the options you can choose, the prices, etc...and, I think it's great other companies are out there giving you the option for a similar product at a lower cost. And yes, all the online furniture companies with RH similar style offerings provide you with the exact same options RH offers. From what I understand, LFE can offer sofas near to exact replicas of the sofas at RH at half the price is because they do not have expensive, wasteful inventory sitting around, nor do they have a large, glitzy retail location & all the expenses involved with that, or the huge, free catalogs, warehouses all over the country, etc. So yes, that does allow for a very large discount over RH. RH also manufactures their sofas in China, not the US(do the research, it's true.) LFE states on each product's info page the country its made in & you can even filter your search to ONLY made in the USA sofas. Anyways, I've learned a lot about the industry & what makes a quality piece of furniture AND what's going on when your sofa is taking weeks, then months to get delivered from Duane & his very useful forum, my furniture forum dot com Just my very long, sorry about that btw, 2¢...See MoreUpdate on Sports bar stool in kitchen
Comments (18)Carrie, it sounds to me like you've got the right idea! Enjoy your life, have fun with it, laugh along the way. I think it's great that your husband shares his input. I guarantee you, your many friends will remember the good times they had in your warm and inviting kitchen! Of course, it's probably not the best idea listening to my decorating advice - for our new house we bought "faux emu" leather stools (and love them!) One more thing - when we were growing up, my dad built us a full court basketball court in the backyard and we were the most popular kids in the neighborhood. Perhaps not the most beautiful yard, but the most fun. Many years after we were all grown and gone, my parents still had the young neighbor's kids knocking on the door, wanting to play basketball. We lost my dad a little over a year ago, but one of my prized photos is of him and me, playing "one on one" in the backyard (I was a newlywed at the time - my husband was laughing at us as he took the picture.)...See MoreHelp Updating Colonial Style Dining Room
Comments (17)Thank you everyone. I am having trouble typing right now so I can't respond to each of you at the moment but I wanted to clarify that I am not rafor. I tried setting up a photobucket account the other night and I felt like each page just got hung and I'm not sure I ever actually set up an account. Is it always that slow? We have grayish white trim througout our house because we replaced all of the windows in our house with Anderson Woodright windows that were prepainted. I insisted on realwood mullions because I like the look of them architecturally better than the mullions inside the glass. We had to match our trim to them....DH is my painter and he will not repaint them. I will try to add more later. The keyboard on this computer is sticking and making it hard to type right now. Thanks again...See MoreI need help picking out paint colors for one story house
Comments (6)Thank you all for the suggestions! We plan to tackle the carpeted area, just looking for flooring to match the rest of the house. It is right by the front door, but the section was odd and the color was a light beige. Also, new backsplash and countertops will be added to the kitchen so thanks for pointing that out! I plant to remove that mantle and paint the brick around the fireplace. Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely post pictures along the way....See MoreUser
