Today a designer and client came into our store in Carlstadt on an appointment.  Two delightful women were so happy to have found our site while searching Google for higher end banquet tables.  They walked in with a pair of smiles and handed me a file stuffed with pictures of an E.J. Victor regency table model 9202-20 .which they found at a local showroom priced at $12 or $13 thousand dollars.  This client knew what she wanted before we even got started looking at tables.  This is good,as  it keeps the meeting simple and focused.  I explained to her that I had similar tables which were not made by E.J. Victor but were quite comparable in style and quality.  I expressed my thoughts on these differences, " In fact, some of the changes might even be better if your tastes are anything like my other clients.  Our version has solid mahogany details around the edge, darker satinwood banding as well as a few other differences and the quality is not much different. My version of table will be about 6 inches shorter because our Veneer paterns were shorter. We made our pedestals a bit wider to add stability".  I walked her to a table built by my company.
Upon discussing the differences in our version and the E.J. Victor model 9202 she mentioned to me that she heard that the E.J.Victor table did not have solid details around the edges and she liked the idea that our table has solids around the perimeter.  I was happy she did some some research on her own and appreciated our fairly priced tables for what they were.
This client really liked our tables and said," I don't really need or care about a label, these tables are beautiful"
