BSH Lead Times 2/28
Bosch Coffee has large amount of inbound units arriving in March that will clear all backorders and leave additional for stock.
· Bosch 36” Gas Cooktop production for both FlameSelect and Legacy has been running smooth and gaining ground quickly.
· French Door Bottom Mount is now in ample supply.
· Combination Oven lead time for Bosch has been shortened significantly and by the end of March should be fully caught up. Recovery for Thermador Combination ovens is May and also greatly improved.
· Thermador Ventilation section updated to show more specific SKU data. Most Masterpiece ventilation is in good availability situation. Pro Ventilation catchup time period is now JUNE. Great developments from Lafollette as they are now pushing out double the amount of hood products per day.
· Thermador Pro Range factory is making up ground. While 48”/60” and Pro Grand are still filling orders from 10 months ago, they are catching up and anticipated to have backorders cleared by July. PRG366WH has much shorter lead time and availability in many locations.
Important RODA Custom Door Size Update
RODA Custom Door Size Update
As you know, Basco’s new combined RODA and Basco Core price list was launched on January 1st of this year. After some time in the market, we have decided to improve the pricing of our RODA door and panel models that required the use of the 28” door for standard pricing. We have made the change that any exception to the standard 28” swing door width, either greater or smaller, now only receives a $300 adder instead of moving to the custom price. Any change to the height of the product still receives custom pricing.
Affected Models:Swing Door & Inline Panel (CELN/H-935, DREN/H-935, GEON/H-935, TREN/H-935, VONN/H-935, LUXN/H-935). Pages 18 – 21
Panel/Swing Door/Panel (CELN/H-925, DREN/H-925, GEON/H-925, TREN/H-925, VONN/H-925, LUXN/H-925). Pages 48 – 51
Swing Door and Panel with Return (CELN/H-950, DREN/H-950, GEON/H-950, TREN/H-950, VONN/H-950, LUXN/H-950) Pages 62 – 65
We appreciate the feedback we received and believe that this change will be beneficial for all.

Basco Important New Product Status Update
We regret to inform you that due to supply chain challenges, we are continuing to experience delays with our Infinity Bifold (model 1433) and with the Rotolo in Brushed Gold (models RTLH-905, 5500, 5400). We expect to receive the needed parts in the very near future.
In addition, also due to supply chain issues, we have had to make the decision to remove the Brushed Gold option from the Rotolo Lux (RTXH-905) & Rotolo Lux Zero Threshold version (RZXH-905). When they are available, we will be sure to let you know.

Thank you for your patience. We are examining all options to move these products forward as quickly as possible and will continue to keep you informed of any changes.
Fairmont Grand Central Collection Review/Reminder regarding the Legs
Please see below for a review/reminder regarding the 1551 Grand Central Collection sent from Fairmont.
I want to do a quick review/reminder about one of the unique factors of the 1551 Grand Central Collection. Unlike all of our other collections, the Grand Central does not leave our factory completely assembled and constructed. With the Grand Central only, the legs are to be attached at the time of installation.
So, the next question is “where are the legs?” They are in a box and placed in the lower drawer of the unit. Please make sure that this box does not get thrown away.
For reference I have attached three pictures:
1) What the vanity should NOT look like after installation
2) The drawer with the legs in it.
3) The box that is labeled “Legs”
