Interesting move for RLL. They've partnered with JCPenney in the past for home goods, but never featured the Ralph Lauren name on the products.

Interesting! We looked at Haverty's recently when shopping for an entertainment center (for the new flatscreen we're going to get - just can't seem to get motivated about an electronics purchase for some reason), and I must say that I felt like Haverty's had really gone downhill since I last shopped there several years ago. At least the quality of case goods just wasn't on par. We ended up buying at Dillard's. Anyway, I would be interested to see what "lesser $$$ RL furniture" is like quality-wise. I do hate that stores like Haverty's that used to be known to carry decent stuff seem to be pushing more "disposable" furnishings nowadays.
