Default Re: The furniture I like

Kathie, I'd guess there's a dealer in Orlando. Do check it out in Pasadena. The pieces have the best construction and finish I've seen on any furniture. Take Linda up on her offer. The current factory is in Manlius, NY, a suburb of Syracuse. I became familiar with the furniture back in the 70s when Alfred Audi took over the original company in Fayetteville, NY next to Manlius. Audi took me on a tour of the old factory and it was like a trip back in time. There was a group of old craftsmen who made the furniture and a group of young apprentices who worked on the finishing line. Alfred opened the middle drawer of a triple dresser and stood in it. Never saw a demonstration like that again. Great stuff.
