In the mid 80s I had a sofa and wing-back chair made by a little factory called Bader and Fox(?) in Portland OR. I went to the factory (the two owners were the only ones there) and picked out fabric/style/etc with some special instruction about the angle of the arms and stiffness of the stuffings. Cost about $1600.
Best furniture ever. Carted across the country twice. I still use both pieces every day. They've been reupholstered once.
- steveBK123 3y agoTo be fair, that must have been a lot at the time right? Adjusted for inflation its certainly a lot compared to furniture now. In 1986 a Mustang GT was under $11k, now its about 3x that price. 1985 median home sale was $80k, 2023 median home sale was about $450k.
