We don't care if it's wood, glass, stone or leather, it must integrate all its parts and be so well done it appears to have sprung fully formed from the hand of the designer. That's no easy feat.

A cheap commodity.

Good furniture making is an art. If you've never seen the many videos


taken inside our suppliers' factories, you can't even imagine the high-tech machinery, skilled artisans, and craftsmen and women who pull all the pieces together. It makes us proud just to think of it. These videos are on view throughout the store. All of them translate into bold-- and bold is beautiful. With new containers coming in one after the other this spring, we are thrilled to see these new designs on our showroom floor. You will be too.
