But Jim, You and I are the problem as well... Just as someone else is the probem by buying the CO.... each and everyone of us who buys less expensive product is fueling this outsourcing mentality..

I restore old volkswagens... you can not buy quality parts for them becuase all of the quality part manufacturers have been put out of business by the ones who make crap.. simply because people buy what ever costs less...

Its all a viscous cycle..

Well as far as making and buying furniture goes we've dealt with two of the NC manufacutrers over the past 10 years and could not have been more satisfied. I think both are still in business. Entertainment center, TV cabinet, bureaus, three bedroom suites, dining room set. We go to the furniture stores and find the stuff we like, get the model and serial numbers when the salesman isn't looking and go on-line to see what it compares to the manufacturer. Even with shipping we always came out well on top. Everything branded Made In USA (and heavy, too). I ronically, yesterday I received a replacement night stand for one slightly damaged in a shipment two weeks ago. I asked if they needed directions to the next stop. The next stop was the furniture store where we got the models and numbers.
