Customer of the Day
3 p.m. today:
A woman comes in today and asks me "Do you have any chairs that convert into a sleeper?" after looking around at the Hancock and Moore and the Taylor King upholstery.
I tell her "I don't have anything on the floor but they are available in the catalogs." She asks "Can I see what all you have available?"
So we pull out all the books. I find the five or six in Taylor King and show her those, the few in Hancock and Moore, and the Ottoman in Jessica Charles, as well as one by Southwood. After about 20 minutes of going over the various pieces as she looks at the styles.
I say "That's about it, are you thinking leather or fabric upholstery?"
She says, "Well, I have cats and they shred everything. So I don't want leather, and I don't want fabric, either."
Puzzled, I ask her "If you don't want leather, and you don't want fabric, there's really nothing else to put on upholstered furniture, is there?"
She says, "I think I'll look for a sleeper made of solid wood. The cats can't damage that."
I quip: "We call that a bed."
