— Furniture Today,
Expands choices available on dining chairs


HANOVER, Ontario — Canadian solid wood manufacturer West Bros. Furniture has teamed up with Robert Allen Fabrics to create a new dining chair fabric program, to be shown for the first time at this weekend’s Canadian Home Furnishings Market in Toronto.

Retailers can choose from West Bros.’ core fabric line or from the entire Robert Allen Color Library, which includes more than 5,000 fabrics.
 
“This is an opportunity to offer our dealers an unprecedented number of fabric choices,” said Steve Maynard, sales and marketing coordinator at West Bros. “Dealers will no longer have to either lose a sale because the customer can’t choose a fabric from the core lineup, or resort to dealing with the trouble of handling COM fabric and then forwarding it to the manufacturer.”

Maynard said he believes there’s an increasing need for domestic manufacturers to offer customers more high-quality dining chair fabric options.
 
“Robert Allen Color Library and Modern Library collections offer fashion-influenced, exclusive design feature combinations, a gorgeous color palette and tasteful design offerings whether elegant, sleek, relaxed or eclectic” said Margaret Dietsch, director of sales (Canada) for Robert Allen.

“It’s a great match for both companies. We are very proud and excited to be a partner with West Bros. Furniture,” she added.
