This promotion was introduced at the High Point Market earlier this month, and is now active. I have an advance copy of the promotion and can now take orders off it (so can any other dealer for that matter). However, it has not yet gone to the printer so if you go to another dealer, its likely they have not yet heard about it or seen it. It will still be some time before this is mailed out to the other dealers. The frames and leathers you see in the promotion will be shipped in two weeks time. That's right, 2 weeks. You will of course, have to allow for transit time either to a store or to you via white glove service, however its still much faster than we could ever do before. Does it work? Yes it does...I ordered a 8131 Austin High Back sofa in the program and it was landed to my store in 15 days. Pricing is quite friendly though I can't post prices - sorry. You can get a price by filling out a quote request here on the forum - be sure to add in your post JUST IN TIME or 2 WEEK SHIP PROMOTION.

Duane,
In the TC program the Woodbridge is in Alberta or maybe Doument. In this this new program, the Woodbridge is in Viking leather. From what I have read in the forum, Viking is not aniline but finished. Do you regard Viking better than you regard Document or Alberta?
Thanks

I don't necessarily think the Viking is better per se, however I will say it appeals to me more than the others. It's going to be a matter of what you like. Document and Alberta have more sheen to them - quite a bit more - and Viking is more a matte finish, and that makes it appear more like an aniline leather. Document might be a little softer, however in the dark browns it's also very splotchy and that's a look I don't particularly care for. I think folks coming into my store will respond well to the Viking leather and for sure they will like the price point.
Here is a photo of the three Viking hides used in the Promotion.

Thank you, Duane
Ok Duane, searched around & found this from a thread:
"They are buying into the Alberta leather program on that recliner. For some reason I had thought it was a GR 2 leather. The Alberta program is not one I have inventoried, mainly because its the cheapest of the cheap Chinese leathers and quite honestly I don't care for the hide. $ 1,300 per chair is a fair price in that program, if you like the leather no reason not to move forward with it."
This is H&M we're talking about, & so far I've only fell in love with the Parisian sofa in their line-up(I probably need to peruse their stationary seating a bit more honestly,) but I love knowing their the pinnacle & really would like to look more into their tufted ottomans as a coffee table option.
With that said & based on my B&Y leather hunt; I think you already know I'm an aniline girl ALL the way!! Lol
Slightly off topic: I can't believe that B&Y 9567 is really a full aniline?? It has almost no "real leather" feel to it, any leather smell it has is negligible & its subtle "wrinkled & worn" finish with the applied pull up color burst effect is all just too fake looking for me. I wouldn't be happy with that on something as small as a wallet...so, I'd REALLY hate it on something as big as a chair! Lol
Scratch out Alberta as a leather I'd be interested in getting an H&M ottoman in! Now, do you or anyone else know what particular leather that West End Chair was/is pictured in? Because I do like it & would consider it for the ottoman.
Thanks
I have no idea what hides those splash photos are done in this promo, this all just came to me at 3 p.m.yesterday. It's not even 'official' yet!

Lol, yea I get that. But, that "slash photo" of the West End Chair can't possibly be in Alberta, right? Just going off your description of it: that chair looks too good to be in the cheapest of the cheap leathers. Perhaps, it's an older stock photo? I'll try searching around & seeing if it's pictured similarly with a "shown in..." descriptor.
