Ah yes. We got our pair of petite-width Craftsman mission style wall hugger recliners from Weavers out there. They were great people to work with, but it did come at a price and there were a few issues that had us returning for. One was over "cushion density". The floor model chair cushion was nice & comfortable, the ones delivered were like stone. We also had an issue with mismatched stain of the chairs to the end table. This next one was our own doing. We paid good money more for full-grain leather but regret it because the fabric in the store was much more comfortable, a decision we have only ourselves to blame. But they really do look great and do work well, just not all as comfy as hoped. We live with that one. I will always complain on the fortune we spent on those two chairs.
Those two chairs from Weavers were but a small portion of the over-all investment. We also bought from a local Amish store, a 6-to-20 foot mission-style table, a 2 piece hutch, and twelve dining room chairs, also made in Shipshewana. The over-all investment could use an insurance policy. I can't complain too much since it replaced the furniture we bought from Homemakers in 1979. It was about time to go Amish, a dream we had since 1978. Our Christmas dinners today sits all the family at the same table. We have to use all stack chairs to fit everyone, but we get there. The twelve Amish chairs get used daily and for smaller dinner parties.
BTW: The pot roast served in the buffet at the Blue Gate there is the best ever. How do they do that?
