Frequently Asked Questions
Fabric Tips
Furniture should look great for a long time in your home. Choose fabric as durable and practical as possible. Fabric is the costliest part of upholstery, so the higher the fabric grade, the more expensive the chair or sofa will be. The larger the piece, therefore, the greater the incremental price increase by fabric grade. Fabric is often the crux of a better product’s warranty coverage: “limited lifetime warranty” coverage expires when the cover is worn through or frayed (see warranties on each product’s page; “limited lifetime warranty” applies to only Temple and Condo Sofa – others have different warranties).
Customization
Our store is based on custom orders of upholstery and sold wood furniture.
Generally speaking, custom orders are pretty simple: choose from specific models or designs, specifying your choice of options available for that item. Place a deposit of roughly 50% of the order total, we place the order. The order is confirmed by the shop or factory, materials prepared, and production commences. Once work is completed, the item is shipped to our store and either picked up by the consumer or delivered from our store to their home.

Where can you see the furniture in person? Do we have a store near you?
We are a “micro” business with about 5 employees in a small retail store in Scarborough, Maine. Sorry, we do not (yet) have showrooms elsewhere.
What does non-toxic mean on this website?
Our furniture is not organic. We do use foam cushions because there is not a viable, affordable alternative safer than what we are doing now. We offer nontoxic sofa and seating alternatives (standardly built furniture without unnecessary carcinogens) for healthy people who want well made, American built, furniture that is affordable and customizable. We began removing all flame retardants from the materials that go into our designs years ago, because it was the right thing to do, and finished doing so in 2012 before most people knew carcinogenic chemicals were being put into furniture. For more information on toxic flame retardants, please read this Flame Retardants Overview.
