I am currently researching a specific sofa table I found on line. This is one of TWO places that offer it. The other place has the table for over $2,000 and I need to go through a ratailer. French Country Furniture has it for HALF the price, including shipping. It comes assembled (as all fine pieces should). The CSR I have been dealing with is Sandi and she has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations. I am currently waiting to see several other pics of the piece and she is visiting the warehouse PERSONALLY to take the pics and make sure I get the shots I requested. I am currently considering only one other table, which is a unique antique and not available in the retail arena (private party sale). If I order from French Country, I will have the added feature of buyer protection through my credit card company, which I will not have if I choose the antique. I hope this post helps anyone considering this company.
