[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, this thread is increasingly seeming destined to become a DCUM classic :)

We are debating whether UC WASPs go to Portugal and the class distinctions signaled by Pottery Barn vs. Stickley (as if this were a question).[/quote]

What’s wrong with stickler?

It’s hand made, all wood stuff (no veneer or particle board) [/quote]
Super weird that you assume that Stickley was the lower class of the two. I guess you know what that means about your own class status  :twisted: [/quote]

People were laughing at the suggestion that Stickley is a store worth buying from. I was wondering why they are scoffing.

Apparently because they don’t make “original” one of a kind furniture.

Personally I live Stickley and have bought a lot of furniture from them. [b]My dining set [/b]was over 12k on sale.[/quote]

Oh dear.[/quote]

The Stickley poster has just proven she is very middle class. She may have money, but her core values are working class to middle class. [/quote]

I’m trying to clarify class here.  UC don’t buy “dining sets” because they either inherit antique pieces or purchase antiques that complement each other and are not matching (sideboards, china cabinets).  Is that correct?[/quote]

True. They don’t typically have to buy an entire set as they will have older pieces. Maybe they would buy a Stickley table, but if they have class, they would never post about how much it cost. [/quote]
