Yeah, I replied to a different comment regarding price. Currently, the deep Dutch oven by Le Creuset is on sale for $199, while the standard 6qt by Lodge is $80. In this situation, I would buy the Le Creuset because it is such a good price for a quality product. I bought the same $80 Lodge for $40 a few months back, which is all I can see them being worth these days. So a sale $40 6qt Lodge would beat out the $420 5½qt Le Creuset by being 10% of the price.

Kimball, National, Gunlocke, OFS, Allsteel, HBF, Stylex, Steelcase, MillerKnoll, etc.

However, majority of their product you cannot purchase direct and need to find your local dealership.

Design Within Reach purchases some commercial pieces in bulk and then you can buy directly from them, but your limited on what they have in stock.

Wasn't trying to be cutthroat. Was just asking if you'd searched, as many of these have been discussed at length.

Cheers.

Don't buy Lodge at its standard price. I bought the 6qt Lodge Dutch oven a few months ago for only $40, which is a great price. $80 is too steep if you ask me, but not unreasonable. I guess when you know you can get it for ½ price, MSRP is too much. You can get the deep Dutch oven by Le Creuset for $199 currently through most outlets; I got mine here since it came with a bonus copper knob. Now, the $80 Lodge versus the sale price $200 Le Creuset? I would definitely go with Le Creuset. Le Creuset's products are near immaculate and you can see the thickness of the enamel. My Lodge user booklet said straight away that it would have imperfections in the enamel (which I did notice). I'll have to see as the years go by what happens to the Lodge.

Rowenta Steam Station. There's a separate reservoir for water which is great, so you don't have to fill it up everyday and it creates excellent even steam.

If you don't care much about that you can save money and get a basic Rowenta consumer model.

Name a few commercial furniture store(s).

I have this one. Amazon says I bought it in early 2018, and it still works great.

It's a *little* low on pressure, but that could also just be the plumbing in my home.

Miele. Got 3 years used washing machine 10 years ago, runs just like new, and washes much better than previous one (we practically stopped ironing). The same with dryer. Three kids, so multiple uses every day. Each about 500 eur slightly used.

Any graphics should be fine for me. I just don't want shirts that don't have any drawing haha

Edit: Just checked Topo Designs. Great designs and prices. Thank you very much for the recommendation!

Yeah, those green scrubbing pads or the sponges with the abrasive side are too abrasive for the enamel. Makes sense though, considering I can get the brown stains off the bottom of my aluminum pans with them and can smell the metal ha.

Small piece of double sided tape inserted inside the hole. Then move the fabric around to close the hole. Works a treat!

My GF bough one of these about a year ago. She left it on the roof of her car and it flew off broke the lid and dented it so that the threads are messed up. I am going on 9 years with a $10 nalgene style bottle. seems to be doing just fine. it has flown off forklifts and down hilly trails alike and no major damage other than usual wear and tear. If you have a functional Yeti no need to buy another.

Just to add, most clothing items longevity depends on how you mantain them. I have some really old t shirts and pants, but I air dry and iron them as a rule.

my dad gave me his Skil Saw whenever he upgraded to a bigger one. its going on 30 years of use now and works as good as new.

Are certain models made in Romania or do we just have to order and hope for the best? I'm looking at the mistrals. Considered buying a kids pair because I have small feet but the soles aren't vibram.

I know everyone loves red wing but I think they are junk. My work provides us with boot vouchers for new boots whenever we show our old ones need replaced. They quit doing it through Redwing because the other options (Thorogood and Filson) lasted significantly longer on the job.

Agreed - ours was custom built and made of hardwood. About 15 years old. Microfiber cover because cats and kids, which should be re-done, but still looks pretty good.

Depends on what graphics you want, but I have a handful of tees from Topo Designs that have graphics on them. They are by far my highest quality T shirts, the fabric is nice and thick.

Mine has a small scratch already which is disappointing since I’m pretty gentle. 4 years certainly isn’t terrible for the money.

​

I have this one -- in this thread because I'm looking to replace it. It's fine, does what it needs to, but found that it scratches pretty easily. Still, ours has lasted us 4 years, which isn't bad for only $35. May have lasted longer if I had a better idea of how to care for them properly when we first got it.

Im sorry I did not provide enough information for your needs. There have been a lot of good people with good replies here, so Im happy with the outcome and grateful for those willing to help.

I’m sorry you have so much anger and feel the need to be argumentative and right. I’ve been there. Still there in many ways. I wish you the best.
