Furniture Guild Reps,
Its been 6 months in our new factory and we couldn’t be happier. We’re finally all in the same building and things are finally getting back to normal. Thank you all for bearing with us during this transition.
We’ve added several new team members, added some new equipment and dialed in a few processes over the last few months which has all been much needed.
Metal Lead Times – 10-12 weeks
We’re happy to announce that metal product lead times are now 10-12 weeks. Our goal is to push this down even further in the coming months so stay tuned. As we continue to grow this product line we will do our best to keep this lead time consistent. If anything changes we will definitely give you notice.
New Catalogs – The new catalogs have all been distributed. If you need more please let Nicole know. nicole@furnitureguild.com
New Pricelist – We’re almost done with a new pricelist which should make everything much easier to price. We are making several changes with regard to hardware, finish availability, options and countertops, etc.
Discontinued Product – effective immediately
- 300 Series Products – We are discontinuing all of our 300 series products. These designs just don’t sell anymore so we’re getting rid of the equipment, trim components, and tools necessary to make those designs.
301 Louis, 318 Bella, and 335 Jervais are no longer available. Other 300 series products will be available until the new price list come out.
- Polished Stainless Steel – The quality of material available has gone from bad to worse and it takes far too long to produce products to a quality standard that we find acceptable.
Effective immediately, we’re no longer offering the Polished Stainless finish.
Polished Chrome – We are in the process of exploring a polished chrome finish as an option for the future. While its not available across the board yet, we are testing this process on all of our products now. We may be reaching out to select customers that have ordered Polished Stainless products to ask that we change the finish to Polished Chrome. We’re hoping that our customers will see this as an upgrade as typically our customers are looking for a match to Polished Chrome anyway.
Alton, Avant, Avento, RBAR in Polished Chrome – Effective Immediately we are offering Polished Chrome on Alton, Avant, Avento and RBAR. Please use the Brass Pricing Category until the new price list comes out.
FRAME1 Price Change – Effective Immediately, the price for FRAME1 is $495 per door/drawer
Website and Configurator – We now have 5 designs on our configurator. Next designs to go on the configurator are 295 Edwin, 293 Lydia, 415 Angolo, and 505 Josie which should be up by this fall. If you haven’t played with the configurator check it out here: www.thefurnitureguild.com/configurator
Blog – If you haven’t seen it yet, its worth exploring. Tons of content, videos, and images you haven’t seen before. See it here: www.thefurnitureguild.com/blog
That’s all for now.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you again for your support!!
