What company makes the highest quality furniture?
Hi Len, what company makes the highest quality furniture? Thanks, Ron
Ron,
Wow what a question. Very subjective of course. My “best” would be: E.J.Victor, Karges, Stickley, and Baker. These are all lines that you can find in most major markets and in regular retail or trade locations. Custom cabinet makers making fabulous “one-of-a-kind” items with prices to match can be found in all of our major markets; but while they can represent the ultimate in craftsmanship they cater to a very small part of the consumer market.

p.s. my personal favorite is/was Guy Chaddock. Fabulous finishes but they closed their operation about a year or so ago. Labor problems and all that. I expect the name will be back but I doubt if the furniture will be the same.
Thanks Len, I’m a stickler for quality so it’s interesting to know what an expert considers the “best”. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, Ron
