Title: Hibriten Dining room Set
Post by: dugx2 on July 10, 2005, 12:28:56 PM

I have just purchased a 9 pcs set with 2 leaves, with the leaves it makes the table 11 ft long.  I would like to know the history of the table and chairs.  Only information is on the bottom of the chairs: Flair Inc.  Lenoir North Carolina for Hibriten Furniture Company, Inc.  The only info that I can find is that Berhardt Furniture absorbed Hibriten in the 1970's.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
Monica
