I have bought two leather chairs, a desk, a Marston nightstand, and an ottoman from RH. Very happy with all purchases. The nightstand was a little bit of a disappointment though. The sales person wrapped it in bubble wrap. When I got it home, the finished was marred with a "polka dot" pattern from the bubble wrap! I have tried waxing, but no help. RH customer service left a message yesterday asking if I was happy with purchase...I will post later their response. IMO, RH surpasses PB in quality and design. RH is more classic - most pieces are made in USA of native woods. I think of PB as more trendy (maybe more transient?) furniture made mostly with tropical woods..

Apologies for super long post but I have a lot of opinions here :) I also love the Maxwell but second the concerns about RH quality. If you decide to look at Casco Bay, conduct very detailed and careful reasearch. That company has a very suspicious posting history on Houzz and Gardenweb. Not saying you won't be happy but it felt off to me. I recently purchased a sofa from a company called Of Iron & Oak. Made in North Carolina (although sold by a shop in New Jersey) with a lifetime warranty on springs and frame. I do not expect it to be built like some of the higher end furniture makers but I am ok with that. The customer service was also very good. I do not yet have the sofa as I am waiting on the shipper (and fairly unhappy about the shipping time FYI). Sophie has made good recommendations (especially CR Laine from my limited experience) but be prepared to spend big bucks. I had a quote from one of the big name furniture makers for a 6 foot leather sofa at $12,000. Perhaps reasonable for some but too rich for me. I personally do not want a sofa that will last 50+ years. I want a 6 ft. leather sofa that will last a solid 15 years and I wanted to spend less than 5K. With regards to CR Laine, I recently scored a very nice CR Laine chair on a massive discount and I really love it. It is comfortable and built like a tank. I was also in Yosemite over the holidays. While at the Awahnee Hotel waiting for our dinner reservations, we took a seat on a very nice tight back English roll arm upholstered in leather. It was seriously the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on. I started flipping the seat cushions (drawing the stink eye from my fiancee) and sure enough, CR Laine.

I buy all of my antique/vintage wool rugs at auction. You can get them in various shapes, sizes, and conditions. I bought my last room sized one - in great shape and classic looking and professionally cleaned prior to sale - from a mansion clear out for $125.00 There were so many rugs for sale in that auction that they couldn't even sell them all.

I am going back & forth with these 2 sofas. The issue I have with RH is that they are made in China. Also, many negative reviews on Houzz. The pros are the style, dimensions; fits perfectly in my room & love the linen sand fabric. They also have a store near my home. Pottery Barn has similar style but slightly wider so not sure if it works as well. Have not explored the fabrics but sure I can find one. Also, back & forth between upholstered vs slip covered. I’m a single person & no pets. Thanks! Pam
