Marlene had a interior designer assist in the selection of the fabric. They did a pretty good job. The filling selected was feather and down with foam core. Marlene insisted no skirt be allowed on her sofa, so we put solid oak feet.

The above photograph is our Sofa frame. Solid Alder screwed and glued construction.
The photograph below is after Bob, in the factory, spent a day putting on the upholstery. Nice!
This finished product was dismantled and crated in 3/4" plywood with metal banding. ABF Truckline pulled up to the door at 2:00pm and off she went to Wisconsin.
This is a great example of what happens when you turn a designer loose on your sofa. Notice only one seat cushion accent brown piping and fluted bun feet. -
Ye Gawd!

Crates have pallet base and are steel banded..
Mark requested his system be made of Russian Baltic Birch with the multi layered ply edge being the accent theme. Because the crown effect needed a little weight added, we tiered and stacked the ridge assembly. The sofa is unique in the cushions are wedge designed. Not seen in these photos are a special rubber webbing supporting the 4" thick foam seat cushions. This is a very deluxe point of manufacture. On the left hand side of this system is a 36" wide desk with pencil drawer. Directly above is the recessed bookcase. This is the first time we've manufactured this feature. This is exactly 180 degree reverse of the interior nightstand. This is not an easy manufacturing task. Don't believe me, ask my competitor to make it for you.
Mark's design with Baltic Birch exposed edge so enamored an engineer here in Denver, that we will be making a California King System next month. It will be even more challenging because the finish will have a green tincture.
Tori's Sofa Bed is only 92" tall because of soffit in his basement rec room. We shortened the height of the crown molding.
Lowered queen bed extends into room 94" from wall.
During installation Ron works his butt off, while Ali tests the comfort of the sofa. Nice guy!
This street may not look steep, but bring a Penske truck up here and park it on the curb... Google satellite view, gave no hint to this difficulty.
This is a view out the back door into downtown San Francisco. I think this view added $700,000. cost to this home. And it was worth every penny!
