Season Furniture: IN A FIX?
Need to replace vinyl strapping, fabric slings or other outdoor furniture parts? Check out chaircarepatio.com, suggests furniture consultant Jennifer Litwin. The Dallas-based company can ship parts anywhere and offers an affordable way to fix up your old favorites for the summer season furniture. "You can replace straps or other parts for just a few dollars," says Litwin. "And they come in lots of colors."
Some of the early factories produced nearly all the standard furniture forms; others specialized in one or more, but whether their product was a full line or limited, it was sold in wholesale quantities to a new type of merchant, the retail furniture dealer. At first he referred to his establishment as a furniture or cabinet warehouse and later as a furniture store. If located in one of the larger cities he might also have his own factory but he was essentially a middle man and with his coming, direct contact between the maker and user of a piece of furniture ended. |
