Danielle commented on Jan 03 12 at 10:43 amAnyone have experience with the Crosley phones? I bought one of the Pottery Barn ones years ago and returned it becuz it felt really light and cheap. I’d love to find something more substantial – like the home phones we had in the 70s (and some of us, into the 80s).
