I've never had Bernhardt but have had many pieces of Ethan Allen over the years. They have held up amazing well. I've also shopped a lot at Arhaus. If there is one near you I suggest you take a look. They carry Baldwin slipcovered couches and chairs. Love them and the covers wash easily and always look neat.

Ethan Allen build most of their better quality casegoods in the USA, but thats been many years ago, now most of their casegoods are imported and some upholstered. Bernhardt still makes a few casegoods in here, along with most of their upholstery. Arhaus imports just about everything, although I think their trying to source some upholstery here.

My living room, dining room and bedroom are all furnished with Bernhardt and everything looks exactly like it did the day I bought it which for the dining room and bedroom was 8 years ago. The living room is 4 years old. Everything has held up PERFECTLY!

I bought a Bernhardt dining room and bedroom suite. Looks lovely, but I have had screws fall out of the dining chairs often. The supports under the king size sleigh bed have broken and we fixed it ourselves. The finish on the dresser and bed are not the quality that I expected. I thought the name Bernhardt meant quality but our pieces were made in Indonesia. My daughter is furnishing a new home and I wouldn't recommend Bernhardt to her.

I have an Ethan Allen bedroom set that I purchased about 20 years ago. The bed is a queen four poster. The bed and amoire has been moved four or five times during the past 20 years. I even refinished the head and foot board due to scratches. The set has held up exceptionally well through all this. The wood was exceptionally easy to refinish and took stain evenly resulting in a perfect match. I have never experienced loose screws or instability in the frame. I would say the quality and craftmanship of their wood products is exceptional.
