Problems You’ll Encounter, Because Sales Staff Doesn’t Ask

What You Can Expect From Whitco Because We Ask

1. What is your budget?

You’ll spend more than what you planned.

You’ll be directed to those sections that accommodate you budget and lifestyle.

2. How will the furniture & room be used:

Every-day? Entertaining? Kids Areas? Home theatre?

Durability issues may not be considered. Some styles and fabrics you're shown may not hold up to the demands of kids and pets. You may be shown furniture that is too elegant, or not elegant enough for your intended uses.

We’ll match your intended use to the correct furniture construction and features. We’ll also help you select more durable/easy care fabrics so your new furniture stays looking new.

3. Tell us about your room. Will your furniture be exposed to the sun?

Many fabrics and leathers will fade with direct exposure to sunlight or heat sources.

We will help you choose fabrics/leather appropriate to the unique environmental factors that exist in your space.

4. What is the size and configuration of the room? Where is the existing furniture placed? Describe the lighting and color pallet?

Inappropriately sized furniture may block traffic flow, create dead space, waste space or result in an uninviting ambiance.

We will provide space planning, lighting planning, traffic flow design and finally help with the furniture selection to meet the demands.

5. Are there existing furniture styles/colors/fabrics that you will want to compliment?

Showing of inappropriate, non-matching items that clash, are special order or require expensive custom upholstery delaying delivery.

We will offer complimentary current styles/fabrics/colors in lines that offer a variety of upholstery and design options.

6. How much time do you have to commit to the care & maintenance of your furniture?

You could end up with fabrics/or furniture requiring lots of maintenance and care and more time to remain looking the way you want it to.

We will match your lifestyle to the appropriate fabrics, design, and construction to provide you with long term value in your purchase.

7. What are the measurements of the room, layout of doorways/fireplaces & window placements.

Your purchase may not fit in the room or through doors & hallways. Your home  and your new furniture could end up damaged

Our design consultants will make measurements to ensure your new furniture will easily fit into it’s new home
