Kane’s Furniture imports it furniture from China. Kane’s guarantees its furniture for life. I bought a couple livingroom set and a bedroom set from them. They were nicely priced.
The problem is that, when something goes wrong, and a piece needs repair, the part might have to be ordered from China, which could take months to get.
I have a leather sectional with an electric recliner. The recliner stopped working after about a month. A repair person authorized by Kane said that an electrical part was needed, and he ordered that part. I was told by Kane’s that the part would take about 3 months to get delivered. It’s been more than 3 months. I’m not desperate to get my recliner working again, but I sure would appreciate much quicker service.
Moral of the story: if the price is right, get it, but if you’re wishing to get quick service and the parts have to come from China, then stay away from the Chinese stuff.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect that most of these gizmos are made abroad, and even domestic manufacturers get a lot of their fasteners and motors overseas, because that's where most of the furniture assembly takes place. With the exception of items that require a huge amount of cutting edge design and technological expertise, a lot of non-bulky/heavy parts for just about anything are manufactured in cheap labor locales. Even Intel CPU chips are apparently put together all over the Orient. The reason you're getting an issue is not because the item is assembled in China, but because the service department has been remiss in keeping parts in stock.
