YHL Furniture

Come on, you know you want to: www.wayfair.com/brand/bnd/younghouselove-b49167.html

Some pieces seem nice, but I'm a bit surprised at the pricing.  No, I'm not paying $500 for a chair and a half and that's supposedly on sale.

The first thing I see is a Chippendale-style chair. They ripped off a Chippendale design and merely stated they were inspired by classic and vintage forms? Pardon my language, but they are straight up shitheads.

The links no longer working for me, but I'm not sure what the hate was about?

[munkii]

k3am, the hate is about being completely unoriginal and claiming something as their own when it's not. I generally don't have a problem with YHL, but I have a problem with design knock-offs. I would be, potentially, less annoyed if they had, at least, said they were re-introducing classic designs rather than saying they were inspired by classic designs.

I was extremely meh about the whole thing. I've sort of moved into the meh area for YHL as it is, but for all their excitement and hype, I just expected more originality.

I like a couple of the items, but the prices suck and I do think they ripped off other designs. The nightstand is cute but at $499 I'll just go buy one from Room & Board or somewhere higher quality. There's a headboard that would be cute in my guest bed, but they only sell it in queen size.

Oh.. I guess I couldn't care less if someone says it's "inspired by" vs "reintroducing." A chair style that originated in the 1700s is sure to have had some knock offs.

ETA: I had to google what a Chippendale chair is. So obviously this doesn't rank high in my life in general.

It looks like it's been clicked a bunch of times, so Wayfair thinks we're bots. If you search YHL on wayfair, their items will come up.

I love them all!  I ordered the navy chair set!!!  Can't wait to get them.

I like most, but the prices seem high. I was considering the sideboard until I saw the price.

Not a fan.

Nice enough, but nothing new to see, which is exactly how I have felt about YHL pretty much from the start. I am underwhelmed.

I think they have good ideas, but never take them far enough to become something original or amazing.
