Everything is made at a factory, these are the "custom made" for us... You'd think they would at least line up the spots and make the lines of them not be cut off at the edges...

Being able to match on all sides is not always possible, dependant on the size of the pattern repeat and size of product being made. IMO pattern matching is just one element that makes a higher end product - for instance I would insert the zipper differently to how it is shown in your picture. Whilst you feel $39 is a high price, you can easily pay into the $100s for a cushion cover and insert. Re: Badly made cushions, what do you think? 10Jun 27, 2011 2:38 pm I've got to admit, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. When they are placed on the couch or wherever they are going, I wouldn't even notice. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Badly made cushions, what do you think? 11Jun 27, 2011 3:46 pm It wouldn't bother me, and as someone said, you can pay SO much more than that for cushions, BUT if they have the same pattern displayed in store that are more pattern matched, I'd go back and argue with them my new build thread- Ben Trager https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89826 my switch build thread (2011) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36569 Re: Badly made cushions, what do you think? 12Jun 27, 2011 4:15 pm The problem may lie in that there is nothing "faulty" with the cushions - just in your perception of how they were supposed to look. I personally wouldn't even notice that the sides don't line up - once they are on a lounge you don't see the two sides at the same time. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Badly made cushions, what do you think? 14Jun 30, 2011 8:12 pm suh I can't make cushions but I know kek would have done a better job than that Aww, thanks suh. Honestly? I think they'll be fine. You can't match patterned fabric up perfectly - and as joles and kyton have said, you'll only see one side of them when they're on the couch. Re: Badly made cushions, what do you think? 17Jul 01, 2011 9:37 pm I agree once you have them on the couch no-one will notice. I have also heard that the people that make Plush couches etc are the people that make Fantastic Furniture, please don't quote me on this as I heard it from a friend. i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16679 Brass or 2) Stainless steel made - which Kitchen tap is good for drinking.Brass kitchen taps in Australia contain lead… 0 7052 |
