Issue with Door on Custom Buffet - Is this typical?

5 years ago

I ordered a custom buffet for my dining room from Ethan Allen that was delivered last month. The other day I opened a door on the buffet and the panel portion of one of the doors completely fell out! Apparently it is held in place with rubber gaskets (the skinny things next to the panel in the picture). On two of the four doors, the gaskets were coming loose at the time of delivery, but I didn't realize that they were literally holding the door together. (Unfortunately there was a mix-up with the order and different style doors were ordered than what I wanted (bead-board vs bead framed) so the doors are already scheduled to replaced.) However, now I'm questioning the overall quality of this piece. It's described by Ethan Allen as "Stylish storage for today, treasured heirloom for generations to come" and "custom-crafted in our Vermont workshops." Is this typically how wood doors on a storage cabinet would be constructed?
