Wainscoting Height? and Fixture Question?
Hi,
What is the correct height for Wainscoting for 8 foot tall walls? Is there any difference between buying name brand bathroom fixtures (i.e. kohler bath and toilet) from a plumbing supply store vs. a Lowes, or Home Depot Store? The prices at Lowes and/or Home Depot are a little lower for the same model fixtures. Are the models truly not the same? Thanks in advance, Regards, Donna |

This situation likely applies to many of the 'Big Box' stores: I spoke to a friend who is the CEO of a bicycle manufacturer about his dealings with Wal-Mart. He said he's happy to sell to them, but only on condition that his company's name does not appear on the product, because of what he's forced to do in order to meet their pricing policies. Example: fewer spokes in the wheels, vinyl instead of leather saddles, plastic where metal should be used, unsmoothed welds, no primer, less paint, etc. You only get what you pay for. A great majority of Wal-Mart merchandise is built to a price point, rather than a quality/feature level. |
