I currently my Mom's Henredon sofa in my kitchen.
She purchased this back in the early 70's. It did spend most of it's life in the living room, but I must say it's held up.
I like to buy things for life, I do not like having to worry about replacing things in the next few year. I recently spent over $3k on my family room sofa.
I would not spend the money on EA if your concerned about the quality. I can't speak from experience with there products, but if you worried I would look else where.
About the North Carolina pricing, you do not have to go North Carolina. If you find a piece locally, just email Boyles, Lex or Rose with the style number. They email you back a quote. If you prefer to shop local, ask them if they price match, you'll be surprised how many will.
