  Are RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) products BIFL-like quality?

  I have and love their luxury sateen bed sheets and their velvet flannel bed sheets and duvet covers. Their men’s terry cloth robe is also one of the best robes I’ve ever owned. My favorite recent purchase from TCS, though, is my clearance Elowen blanket. I bought a second one as a backup when they went on a deeper sale.

  My cloud and other furniture have held up nicely. They even replaced my entire cloud sofa for free when I wanted to buy an ottoman but they changed the design so it no longer matched. Fantastic customer service.

  Are RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) products BIFL-like quality?

  We have these ones, I dislike towels that have any bands/patterns as if you use a dryer they can shrink at a different rate to the rest of the towel and distort them. https://rh.com/us/en/catalog/product/product.jsp/prod17610301?queryId=d5963d6aa34bd711f3d12da289b510bd

  Are RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) products BIFL-like quality?

  Yeah I think it’s category specific. My RH bed frame is a beast. The quality of the side tables reminds me of Crate and Barrel though. The couches are sturdy built, but some of the cushions can be finicky to keep looking nice. I’m not sure who built my parents couch but they bought a leather couch from Macys Furniture ~2007 and it still looks brand new after dogs kids jumping in it every day. Sometimes I see the same couch for sale on Facebook Marketplace and contemplate buying it.

  The towels are incredible. So thick and plush that I almost wish they were a bit thinner. 3 years of constant use and they are still the same as brand new.

  Are RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) products BIFL-like quality?

  I’m not sure where all the hate is coming from. I would consider RH to be BIFL. The quality and construction, while from overseas, is very good. It is not a good value though, which is a different question than quality. You can get similar quality pieces from Crate and Barrel, or probably even locally made custom furniture for less money. When I think about the furniture pieces that my grandparents had for 50 years, RH is better than those pieces from a quality perspective.

  Desperate for a couch that doesn't suck

  Our Maxwell leather couch from RH is 18 years old and it’s still amazing. Deep seating and comfortably firm.

  Desperate for a couch that doesn't suck

  I just bought this: https://rh.com/us/en/catalog/product/product.jsp/prod37600032. They have an incredible sale right now. The only catch is you have to become a member for $200 to get the crazy price. I paid $3500 for the 8' with 100% belgian linen upholstery and down cushions (ps. the cushions are really supportive, not mushy at all). From their website: "The sofa features heirloom-quality, eight-way hand-tied springs, considered the gold standard for comfort and longevity. The solid hardwood frame is bench-made by artisans using reinforced joinery with mortise-and-tenon construction, offering unmatched durability. Guaranteed for life." So maybe BIFL!

  What's the best BIFL item you own?

  Best BIFL items I have: Kitchen: Le creuset : Standard Dutch oven The big frying pan 11.75” Sauce pot - the smaller kind Tea kettle Vitamix Blender Zojirushi Induction Rice Cooker Cold Steel chef knife - $26 https://a.co/d/18dqGoL I’ll die on this hill. I had Miyabi, Henckels, all kinds of fancy pants $500 knives. This $26 knife beats the shit out of them. Sharp, strong, throw that bitch in the dishwasher… sharpens to a razors edge and holds it. 5 years old, still like new. It’s also super thick, so you can abuse it pry bones then go finely chop garnish. I love this goddamn thing. Bonavita Coffee maker - 12 years old works perfect. Outdoors/sports/hobbies: Tikka rifle - will go to my grandkids. TRX - training system - nylon webbing - no reason for it not to last forever Pentax 645 Medium Format lenses. I’ve been using them across camera systems for decades now. Still like new, so smooth and beautiul. Got them new old stock from Japan 20 years ago. Unbelievably cheap at the time. Like $75 a lens. I have 4-5. You can adapt them these days to any mirrorless camera. Travel: 1x saddleback slim briefcase still like new after 10 years 1x WP Standard , duffel bag, they don’t make the one I have anymore, but it’s similar to this: https://wpstandard.com/products/panam-duffle-bag Boots: Redwing Iron Rangers (most comfortable) Blundstone boots (daily drivers, also crazy comfortable) Mephisto winter Boots Tecovas Ostrich “Dean” boots. So unbelievably good looking, comfortable, and the quality is excellent. I don’t wear them too often, but they will last forever. Ostrich is a very tough leather. VIBA slippers, best fucking house footwear ever. The “Roma Leather” Clothes: I destroy all my clothes, these are the things that have survived the longest: Double RL dress shirts , western style overall, reallllllly expensive but they just get better and better with age and last and last. I wear these to work, and no tears, wear marks or rips. “By Robert James” dress shirts the quality is exceptional and he’s a small business. https://www.byrobertjames.com/ If you like “John Varvatos” style, but want it to last more than one washing or wear, buy Robert James anything… Furniture: I’ve had great experince in quality and longevity with Crate and Barrel. Yes, big brand, at least up until a few years ago, their furniture is made pretty well. A friend works in the industry and she said they are the last big manufacturer to make real furniture. I have a few RH pieces, like wardrobes, dinner table etc, all great, but from about 15 years ago. Not sure how they are doing nowadays. This is all natural selection. These are the items that have made it through the gauntlet of life, both reliability, but also usefulness, utility, and aesthetics. They look good, they work, and I actually use them.

  Best Office Chairs Under $1000

  RH Logic 400. i'm .. fat, and any chair that relies on fabric to do tension and support, just won't do it for me. I discovered them at work and now i can't live without them.
