HOW TO HELP US HELP YOU

When shopping for furniture there are several pieces of information you must have with you at the store.  Our salespeople are very good at what they do.  They are well versed in fabric, color, style, and general knowlwdge.  However, for the salespeople to be really effective you should come to the store with the following information:

1.  What is your personal style?  Contemporary, traditional, eclectic, transitional?  This is a very good tip and will help your sales person to quickly eliminate what not to show you.

2.  What colors are used in the rooms you wish to decorate?  Is it the color you will keep or have you considered changing them?  Are you open to a new color look for your home?  Color sets the mood for your room and as you would expect, is very important in the final decision making process.
