Cresent Furniture quality
Comments (5)My Cresent cherry dining room furniture, which is twenty years old, still looks fine after eight long distance moves but only moderate use. I never use the table without the table pads in place. All my pieces are solid cherry, no veneer, but I do worry about scratches and dents. The china cabinet and server remain solid and the chairs are sturdy as ever. The table is OK but has a little more movement than I would like, probably from being taken apart to move so many times....See MorePatio Furniture-Quality difference between Target vs. High end
Comments (56)I found this thread because I just got off the phone with my wife who informed me that replacement slings for our set of six Telescope chairs will be $780.00! That is a very tough pill to swallow, and like many here we weighed this heavily against just getting a cheaper set from HD, Costco, or any number of stores. Our set is about 10 years old to date (purchased summer of 2010) and the aluminum frames, table, and umbrella have held up extremely well (we do store them inside for winter though). Ultimately, I decided to stick with these and pay the exorbitant price for a few reasons: - The rest of the set is extremely high quality. I feel good each year when I pull it out of storage - heavy duty powder coated aluminum construction that has lasted well and still looks 9/10 after a spring wipe-down. - It does bother me how much importation has changed - pushing us toward a throw-away-away-and-buy-another culture. I do feel like we enjoy additional quality on these American made items (not always the case). - Less and less stuff is American made any more. As an engineer and a maker, I miss the days when we made most of the best stuff here. This set still exemplifies that quality. It's a little thing, but something I rarely get to enjoy these days. - After 10 years, with very little degradation (other than the fabric slings), I know what to expect from this set, and feel confident that they will last another 10 years easily with new fabric. The convenience of going 10-12 years between having to think about this, or take a gamble on something potentially less durable is worth something to me. Surely, I'll be feeling the sting of this bill in about a month (so good thing I'm writing this now!), but I thought I'd share what tipped us to reinvesting in this very expensive set.

Comments (18)Like said above CL, goodwill, moving sales ect... Today I scored a brand new black leather lined Bentley Prince Street Carpet Company 8x8 area rug for $60, the owner/ designer won it at a show. Last week I scored a like brand new NS design leather sofa with black piping for $150. I also found a chair in the exact lines of sofa in fabric by (Sheril sp?) at my local goodwill for $85 but think I can get it cheaper. I'm getting things for my son and want to do a sort of kinda Jonathon Adler look. I'm having a blast looking for things and can't wait to find some cool stuff with color and other things needed. I literally sit pushing the refresh button on CL while having my tea, you have to be fast. http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af170/jterrilynn/b7267bed.jpg" target="_blank"> http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af170/jterrilynn/4d8bbec8.jpg" target="_blank">...See MoreQuality Patio Furniture Manufacturer/Type Recommendations
Comments (8)We have a client in the DIY market, they sell outdoor custom replacement chair slings and cushions to customers nationwide (from economy to high end designer fabrics). As long as the construction of the frame (teak, powder coated steel, wrought iron, rattan, wicker, etc.) is high quality, sturdy and sound, don't be too concerned about the longevity of the slings and cushions because they won't last anyway. If you live near salt water sources (yes, even if you have a salt water pool), the fabrics on your outdoor furniture can lose its integrity within 5 years. Here's more info regarding wicker vs. rattan. Everyone here mentioned great quality brands that's worth checking out. Since you're looking for mid-century modern/transitional, check this out to see if anything might work in your new patio space from ModernLanding.com....See More1929Spanish-GW
