After the third go-round, I just switched to a different table entirely. I knew it would irritate someones OCD so I kept passing on them and they kept delivering shitty options. They kept sending me tables where the top was off center or turned slightly or something so if you were ever going to put it against a wall, it wouldn't be at a 180 degree angle. The dining table purchase was a complete clusterfuck. but the dining table and dresser definitely left something to be desired for me. The Emeco and Eames stuff performs well because they're known for that so no review on those. I loved my bed and nothing compared to it in the then-current lineup so I passed but I was downright impressed with the level of service. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME THE ORIGINAL PRICE OFF A NEW BED. They said no, they didn't have the fabric but get this. I really wanted to be able to get my furniture repaired hence my desire to go with slightly more expensive furniture. I called to see if they still had the fabric in the event that I'd need to have it reupholstered. The side rail that the metal beams attached to ripped out of the outer side piece. I flopped in bed after DOMS set in and I couldn't sit down. Went on to buy a clearance sofa in 2009 (still looks brand new in 2021 - we can't figure out that magic), Nelson bench, dining table, Emeco navy chairs, Eames molded plywood chair, and Hudson dresser. It was my first big furniture purchase from them. I bought my bed frame on clearance in 2008. I'll chime in here about my Room & Board experience.
