Q. I see the letters S.D. and N.S.D. next to the chair prices. What do these letters refer to?

A. S.D. and N.S.D. refer to Stocking Dealer or Non Stocking Dealer prices. The Stocking Dealer and Non Stocking Dealer price structure is in place for our Kilim upholstered chairs only. In order to qualify for the Stocking Dealer price you must purchase 3 or more chairs per order. However, the chairs do not need to be of the same style.

Q. Can I choose the fabric that will be upholstered on my furniture?

A. Our chairs, benches, ottomans, coffee tables and footstools are all upholstered with our one-of-a-kind Kilim rugs. Because of this, each will be unique. Customers can request specific color and pattern preferences and we will do our best to meet the customer's request. Customers are encouraged to send fabric swatches or paint samples when requesting a specific color palette. We can e-mail photos of benches, ottomans and coffee tables for approval prior to shipping. For chair orders, we can e-mail a photo of the rug which we intend to use for the upholstery. Pairs of chairs will be upholstered from the same rug so that the chairs are matching.

Any of the chairs can be upholstered in either full Kilim or with a leather seat. Our standard leather is imported from Argentina and is available in a variety of colors. The price of the chair remains the same regardless of the upholstery option chosen.

Q. What can you tell me about the furniture frames?

Q. Can I have a bench or ottoman upholstered in leather?

A. Yes. We can upholster any style of bench or ottoman with leather.
