This time of year can be exciting at times. This post talks about a returning Canadian client who wanted to meet a Christmas deadline on this order for 13 High end gold leaf accented solid mahogany fireside chairs to match his previously purchased table.

We are very thankful for returning customers and we work overtime to make little miracles happen.  24 hour all-around the clock shifts made this possible in 5 days.  That includes adding the gold leaf and packaging.
 






13 Fireside Chairs Custom Ordered by returning customer to be used as banquet table chairs in a wide comfortable setting.  These chairs were gold leaf accented in our studio to match clients mahogany dining table.
 

   
 


Chairs are wrapped with ply paper moving pads which are quite expensive but can prevent rubbing from truck bounce. This is very soft ply paper which can be seen up close on our shipping page.  Than, a double layer of corrugation will wrap snugly around the chair and fastened into place.  This procedure also aids in reducing shake and rubs.
 


 


The well protected chairs get packed individually and are put in commercial bins, one chair per bin.   A pair of commercial bins are than placed inside a large gaylord container with a layer of heavy duty EPS or Styrofoam in between to two boxes.  In the below picture, you'll see me slipping a 1" thick Styrofoam panel in between the commercial bin and gaylord container.


 This is what it looks like just before we cover the two bins with a lid. Our method is basically a box inside a box, with layer of 1" foam separating them.
 


 This picture shows 2 chairs well protected in a perfect container and is ready from stretch wrapping and strapping.


Here is 1 of 7 finished crates ready to be picked up by UPS freight. 
To the left and right of this pallet, you can see a long line of mahogany dining tables on racking.  This is our inventory.

We mentioned this order was for 13 mahogany dining chairs, the below picture is the single chair.  Same method for packing as above, but being this container is so tempting to stack on because of its height...we set up a NO STACK sign.  This is what it takes to get proper handling. 

 


Burning the midnight oil down to the last minute, UPS arrived out our dock near 9PM
