I've browsed through all of Ethan Allen, RL Home, and Stickley and have not found what I'm looking for ...

What are some other makers of high end furniture ? I'm looking for higher quality than, say, restoration hardware...

Thanks.

I don't know much about furniture quality, but I feel like restoration hard wear is a few notches above Pottery Barn and on par with Ethan Allen. Do you have Arhaus in your area? Or if you can lean towards a more modern aesthetic then look into what DWR and Room and Board have.

Go Antique, definitely.
Anything that is made after 1950s/60s is made for ever growing number of poorly-educated American consumers whose ideas of quality and aesthetics have been developed in the atmosphere of cheap disposable ****. Even custom furniture makers are incapable (in large part) to produce furniture that compares favorably to what have been made 70 to 200 years ago.

B&B Italia, INFORM, though if you're looking to retain value, the classics mentioned above are likely a better investment.
