During the the month of September LeatherSmiths has been working directly for a manufacturer refinishing some leather pieces that had been shipped over seas incorrectly finished.
As it turns out, most furniture is manufactured overseas, and some of it is simply assembled here in the states. The big problem is that the furniture is thousands of miles away before anyone(the retailer) knows there is a problem. At that point the manufacturer can do two things:
1) Throw out the rejected shipment.
2) Find a competent company stateside to fix the problems.
The issue with the latter is that there are very few companies out there like LeatherSmiths that can fix large quantities of furniture in a very short period of time, and price it in a way that is valuable for the manufacturer. Remember that the standard of quality must be such that the retailer is willing to put it in their showroom, and warranty it!
We were happy that they found us, and honored that this particular manufacturer and retailer chose to give us the opportunity to help them. Now they know what we mean when we say we are LeatherSmiths..... Bringing leather back to life!
