Cutting for Matching

[JackOlso]

Hello Duane,

Just when we think we understand everything something else comes up!

We were talking to another dealer of H&M about 50 miles from our house where we shop sometimes. While I would not buy H&M from them, they said something interesting I hadn't heard before.

In the T&C program, if a chair is say $1200 and a couch $2500 in Doc Chestnut, if the buyer wants a cutting in Doc Chestnut to make sure the pieces all match, then the price of each piece goes up to say $3200 for the couch and $1600 for the chairs.

I read on your T&C page g) No cutting for approval or color match on married cover items. I guess the dealer was saying that if we want color matching then it's not a married cover and H&M sews the kits here. The question is how much variation should we expect in Doc Chestnut between the chairs and couches if we go the married cover version on all pieces? Does H&M try to match up the colors on the various pieces made using the pre-made kits so the color difference between the pieces is less noticable?

I'm guessing this is why you said the Ottoman in Doc Chestnut wouldn't be exactly the same color as on the sofa and chairs. The Ottoman's are probably made here.
