Hey i have no clue about this brand....but i really liked your idea of making your choice focused!!

I am familiar with Cresent as well as the other brands. They are all good but in my opinion, Cresent is one of the nicest products out there. The quality is excellent. It is very well finished and constructed. It has a good clean look similar to those found in high end stores and better department stores.

We have had a king size Calvin bed from Room and Board for about a year and a half, and I love it. Beautiful lines, solid construction. Made in the US (Portland, OR, if I remember correctly).

I ordered a couple of Kincaid dressers. My store didn't have the model in stock so I ordered them. Made in USA (some of them are and some aren't. They seem like they'll hold up OK but I was very disappointed that the drawers weren't removable. I absolutely hate drawers that won't come out all the way. Maybe since Lazy-Boy took them over, they're made on the cheap now.

We purchased 4 pieces of Cresent's "Murray Hill" about 6 or 7 years ago from a store in Tennessee and had it sent to the NE. It was a very good deal. The furniture is very sold using solid maple and floating panels and dust panels between the drawers. My only regret is that they seem to have reduced the variety of pieces offered. Many of these companies are struggling to survive under the cheap Chinese competition. In any event, highly recommended.

I said it before in my opinion I think Cresent is one of the nicest lines out there. It has a great clean look and the quality is excellent and the price isn't bad either for the quality.
