Last piece of new furniture we bought was a double recliner couch from Lazy boy. Motorized and it is the real deal.
The 1st 2 we picked out were weeks out until we found the one we have and they had 2 at the warehouse. We had it delivered the next day.
This thread leads me to believe that Ashly is owned/operated by PSA.....
Even the stuff I saw at Ethan Allen was garbage.
Like I said, if you want good Ethan Allen, you gotta find old Ethan Allen on Craigslist. If you're patient, it'll come up, and you gotta be ready to say "I'll be there in an hour with cash."
Oh, man, someone please help me out with this. There was a line of furniture that was popular around 1990. Really cheesy stuff. It was pretty much particleboard, except for the bedroon stuff. It was pedestal type living room furniture, the end tables were either hexagonal or octagonal. All the furniture was finished in either white or black. The living room furniture was sprayed with some sort of rough-textured paint. The edges of the tops were routed out and filled with plastic gold tim. The tops were plexi mirrors. How many of you remeber this stuff? How many of you owned this stuff?
You said that after I said that.
I have nothing against antique furniture at all and agree with you fully, but what I normally don't have is a lot of patience. Every time I've needed to buy something decent, nothing decent on the used market was to be found in the timeline I was prepared to wait.
I've generally gone in the exact opposite direction these days and I confess my method isn't suited for many people: I've been buying garage/shop/professional kitchen grade stuff and using it for inside the house furniture. It's all mostly steel, it's going to outlive me by at least a generation if I do nothing more than keep it dry, and the prices are radically cheaper than actual furniture.
It's not a look that is for everybody, and I have admittedly unique demands that pushed me in that direction, but it's far and away the most cost effective way to get yourself seriously stout furniture that you won't have to buy again unless you just decide you want to. Wife buy in would be another challenge, but I don't have that problem...
You just described 90% of Value City Furniture in 1990 as I remember it.
We were much more classy than that... Sauder flat pack all the way!
Cheap furniture gets you through though. They should market it as "Buy this until you're older and can afford better".
