I filed a complaint with Hinkle Chair Company about their "Garden Treasures" rocking chairs.

They (and I suspect you have required them to) hide any evidence that the chairs are made in China. Only a tiny (smaller than 1/2" square) label in an inconspicuous place on the product, says "Made in China". Your store personnel remove that label on any chairs they pre-assemble for customers; it's only there if the customer assembles the product. That's not fair or honest.

Many American consumers are now avoiding Chinese products when there are alternatives. DELIBERATELY hiding the origin of products is immoral, even if it's not illegal.

If you are requiring vendors to disguise the origin of their products, then please stop.

If vendors are hiding that fact voluntarily, please compel them to mark the products clearly on the OUTSIDE of the packaging.

I tend to be very vocal about being cheated. Although the chairs are of acceptable (not good) quality, the 'trick' you and/or Hinkle are playing on your customers is NOT acceptable; it is dishonest.

Yours truly,

If you are upset about Chinese products why are you even buying at a big box?
