Someone told me that after a few years the DR chairs turned into rocking chairs... anyone else have a bad experience with Katz's?
i got the whole package and while i was and am pretty happy with the purchase i should mention one thing:

When i moved a little while ago the lakewood based moving company asked me if the set is from Katz's when i said yes he said that

although he usually guarantees everything he moves he won't guarantee Katz's furniture. He said they are made with some very basic

design flaws which cause the veneer to crack and split when moved almost every time. He took extra care wrapped my set like you                         

would fine china an there still is some minimal damage to the veneer. Other than this aspect we are very happy with the product.

Interesting... I would mention such a thing to the store as that would have a greater toeles than posting it online...

And BTW I have NOTHING to do with this store nor have I ever shopped there, it just annoys me when people bash  a yiddishe business online. With the halachos of LH as intricate as they are, it usually is the wrong place to discuss as anyone can see it. I believe this point has been mentioned here before.

while in general I agree with you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out a flawed, or perceived flawed, product. I'd even venture to say the XYZ furniture store knows the how their furniture is made, and charge accordingly.

Actually the halacha is, that one may forewarn someone about stepping into a situation where they will lose money/value of money... "Kal yisroel araivim zeh la'zeh" and it has nothing to do with jewish or non-jewish businesses

Always wandered about this, it would mean that I am not permitted to hang up a sign in public place warning of a bad product etc. Kamudemani that the minhag is not like this.

I know a guy that had a fight with one of the furniture stores in Lakewood. When speaking to R' Forschiemer about it, R' F told him that people are constantly coming to him with issues about that and another place and that they are dishonest.(btw none was Katz) This might sound weird but it might be worth asking R Forshiemer who it's worth doing bussines with in this city, he sees a lot more dirt than what one persons experience was with one store

you make a good point.

The mover told me that he did discuss the flaw with the store themselves and they are aware of it.

I should mention that i made it super clear in my post that i am happy with my purchase even with the seeming flaw, in addition i wasn't writing for no toeles as ybeeds specifically asked for this information. I'm sure it is mutar and perhaps required to tell him but I'm not sure what the halacha is in regards to saying it a way that others can hear or read, perhaps i should have pm'ed him instead of posting but i didn't think to much about it.

The gemara in Bava Basra says that שלש עבירות וכו' בכל יום וכו' אבק לשון הרע basically stating that the minhag unfortunately is that people transgress LH... If its a fellow Jew then the issue of Lashon Horah applies with very specific exceptions. It will never be permitted for the sake of toeles to post the information in a manner which will reach people who is does not concern.

Happy to hear that they know about it hopefully they've dealt with it.
