a table is somewhere where you might want solid wood you're going to be eating food on it there's going to be drinks and beverage and spills and you might write on it and it the finish has to be able to be up to the task but then there's places where a veneer might serve you really well on a side table that doesn't get a lot of action so it really is just kind of about doing some research reading reviews and kind of playing with all of that yeah i wish i had like a magic place i'm like i

Yeah. So that sectional can't. I mean, someone could go in and custom order that through a retailer that has like the dealership to sell that upholstery. But I do think there is a lot of benefit to working with a designer because, I mean, you weren't able to sit in it before we bought it. No. We ordered it. We shipped it to you.

We understand the quality. And actually where you ordered it from, it was it's handmade in the U.S., completely custom. Like the springs are, you know. hand assembled, there's hand ties on. It's really like another level of quality that designers can really speak to. And we're actually really good because we're around furniture all the time and kind of knowing what's good quality, what isn't.

Yeah. I think the other thing that really came in handy working with you is the logistics end of everything, right? Like you weren't in town. There wasn't a place where we could receive all this. And designers are also really good at figuring out. I joke all the time. I'm like, I think my job is 98% logistics, like 2% actually like the beautiful things.

So it's figuring out how we're going to get all of this together, how we're going to get it shipped, where it's going to get delivered to, who's going to get it into your house, how it's going to be assembled, and then making sure that it's going to fit and that it's going to feel great and speak to the quality. And then when things go wrong, because I mean, things go wrong.
