Why single out LaMarche?
Because every third post on TG and HH starts out, "Does anybody have enough LaMarche XXXXX to make a 20x24?"
I am curious about the level of loyalty that keeps so many of their samples on so many walls. Clearly, many framers feel that the product is special-enough to take a chance that it'll be in stock when it's needed.
This poll is not about bashing LaMarche. In my entire, sheltered life as a framer, I've never seen a better-looking line. But, if I'd planned ahead, a second question would have asked, "If you are not considering adding LaMarche to your selection, is your decision influenced by what you've read on The Grumble?"
Mine certainly is. I take isolated complaints with a grain of salt, but these particular problems are far from isolated.
