The Meridian 6042 was launched in September 2009.  Although the spec sheet for this item is available on BainUltra’s website, a pdf version is attached for your easy use and referral.  Prices for this model are as follows:

Thermomasseur – $2,895.00

Soaker – $1,580.00

THE WS-300 SAFETY VALVE LEAK DETECTOR IS BACK IN STOCK.  THEY ARE READY TO SHIP.  

If you’re not familiar with this unit, it’s designed so the supply line going to the Water filter (30101) runs through the main unit and sensors set on the base of the cabinet.  If the sensors detect water (moisture), the unit shuts off the water supply to the filter unit and an alarm goes off letting the homeowner know they have a water leak issue.  The unit does not have to be used in conjunction with a water filter, the sensors will detect water and set off the alarm whether it’s used with the filter or not.

There seems to be lots of excitement over Soko’s New PRESS ROOM with its High Resolution Pictures at

http://sokostudio.com/pressroom.htm#SokoProductImages 

 Showrooms have asked us if these fabulous groupings of the new products (Hearst Castle and Motif) can be used by them for advertising and for customers.  The answer is Yes, of course!  There are instructions there on how to download and save the High Resolution Pictures.

We thought that all of Soko’s showrooms should know about the PRESS ROOM.

Happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

This article in the NY Times concerning the “Chinese drywall” crisis is incredible.  To a lesser extent, the same problem affects the imported Chinese plywood which contains formaldehyde and has made many people sick. We at the Furniture Guild have always used Purebond plywood which is 3 times more expensive than the import, but it is of the best quality and is safe for your family.  

Advise your customers that it is possible to “buy too cheap” in both imported Asian cabinetry or American made cabinets constructed with imported plywood.
