Feel the finish before you order
Free finish and fabric samples for your shop
A finish looks one way on a screen and another under your shop lights at four in the afternoon. Samples are free.

Hold the swatch up to the counter.
Swatches of upholstery and stain, metal finish chips and top material samples are free and travel by UPS Ground. Lay them on your counter under the shop's own lights before you order a dozen chairs in that color.
Use the request form to identify the materials you would like to review. The team checks which samples are available for the selected products; an inspiration image does not identify an orderable finish.

How long it takes
Expect an email confirming your request inside one business day. The parcel then goes UPS Ground, and usually arrives 2 to 3 business days after it leaves.
Put them to work
Set the swatch on the counter beside the bakery case. Wipe it, spill coffee on it, see it at opening and at close. Then choose. For a reorder, get a new swatch first; colors move on over the years. When you're settled, save the choice to a shop plan or go back to cafe chairs.
