12-3-09

Dear Andrea,
December is here, snow flurries are swirling outside as I write thiw. CDT has decorations up, carols playing and hot cider in the crock pot. We hope we will be seeing each of you in the next few weeks so that we can wish you "Happy Holidays" in person!
Dinec



Many of you may not be aware that Dinec has a wonderful selection of traditional styled chairs, legs and has added new bases for those of you who do not need the transitional look. There are more rustic finishes available as well. One of the most exciting elements from Dinec is the new self storing leaf option (below). This can be ordered on many table sizes, with legs only, not with bases. Also, please notice the thickness of the top on the table above! This is a gorgeous feature from the Prestige Collection. Dinec finishes the UNDERSIDE of their tables, and inside the drawers. Drawers feature full extension, self-closing glides. All Dinec products are made in Canada out of Canadian Birch. These features, in addition to their super-durable pre-catalyzed finish make it a wonderful value for your customers.
And don't forget, they make bedroom furniture as well!
