If you broke your own dresser years later, I'm unclear why they would be obligated to help. If it was broken during their handling of it, that's another matter. |

Clearly Ethan Allen has gone downhill and is surviving mostly on its reputation at this point.
My sister and I had Ethan Allen dressers and beds growing up (70s to 80s) and they still like amazing. Considering what kids can do to furniture, these items survived us. They look almost brand new still. |
No. One of the drawer runners was rotten and broke - within a year of purchase and they refused to do anything about it. And this was a replacement dresser after the first was put together wrong - the middle legs weren’t installed so it started to sag in the middle. I had to fight them to get that replaced. Awful company. |
The quality use to be excellent. Then, in the early 2000s, they moved production from us to China and it’s been downhill from there. |
+1 I have Ethan Allen chairs/Sofa from about 2000 that likes like new, and another set from about 2007 that I just threw out because they are so rundown. I have been very happy with furniture from Room and Board and Arhaus |
Every store has varying ranges of quality. Ask who made the piece you are interested in buying. |
Honestly, I'd look at estate sales first. So many antique, quality sets that are far better built than 90% of what you can buy today and going cheap to clean out grandma's/mom's house. We got our farmhouse kitchen table in excellent condition with two leaves and six chairs for $600.
My solid wood, made in the USA dining room table is from Gat Creek, and I love it. It's gorgeous, they had tons to choose from (style, wood type, stain/paint) and it was easy to mix and match chairs with tables. That set cost much more, but it's so pretty and has simple, clean lines. |
