  11. Last February my wife and I ordered a not-inexpensive cherry bedroom set
  12. (bed + 3 case pieces) in a Shaker style.  After a 5-month wait, we were
  13. extremely disappointed with the workmanship and quality.  Warped, cupped,
  14. out-of-square, drawers-wont-close, faked details (non-functional dovetails,
  15. but the photos looked good!), etc., etc.  We returned the furniture and
  16. got our money back.  We're still interested in solid cherry, Shaker-style,
  17. but are somewhat apprehensive about a manufacturer since this last exper-
  18. ience was supposedly with a "quality" manufacturer.  Can anyone offer any
  19. recommendations?
