| I own a PA house dining room set. It was picked up yesterday by a furniture refinisher that I contracted with from Angie's list. About an hour after they left, I rec'd a call stating they lost one of the larger drawers during transit. They offered to rebuild a new drawer.
Can anyone tell me if I have an argument that the value of the furniture is diminished? Also, I'm considering legal action, but don't know what the value of the furniture would be. Any suggestions? I found an ebay auction for the china cabinet, would that be a reliable source for determining the value of the set? Any advice about my situation would be greatly appreciated. |

| It is a very upsetting situation, but you will probably come through it in fine shape. Pennsylvania House is good quality furniture, but it is not "antique quality." If your refinisher is a skilled craftsman, capable of making a new drawer and matching up the hardware and finish precisely, then you should be OK and the value of your furniture will not be affected. |

| Was the entire drawer lost, including the front? They will have a fun time trying to match the grain and finish. Good luck. |
