King Hickory Quality?

18 years ago

Hi. I am regularly on the Home Decorating forum, but I am hoping you all can give me some opinions. I am in the market for two chairs to flank my fireplace. I found the perfect fabric for my room and it is a King Hickory/Hickory Manor fabric. I have a 15 year old sofa and loveseat from them that has held up extremely well. But "they don't make things like they used to" and I am wondering about the quality now.

Their website describes their construction like this.

"By using the latest computerized technology and materials our skilled craftsmen produce a product that provides lasting beauty and comfort for everyday life. Each piece is constructed from 5/4" hardwood, double-doweled and reinforced with corner blocks.

Double cone coil springs of high carbon tempered steel produce the ultimate in seating comfort. Eight-way hand tied construction provides durability and luxurious seating. We use only premium, highly resilient polyurethane cushions to ensure consistent shape and comfort. Fabrics are hand matched and perfectly fitted to cushions and frames to create the finest furniture in our industry."

It seems to use the words I know to look for, but I am wondering if I am missing something. Are they a good quality for the price (reasonable). I know it's not heirloom quality, but I do like to buy good quality that will last, even have the potential to recover in the future. Thanks for any input.
