El Dorado Furniture

...and we're back!

Hello folks. It's been a long break I realize, but there were a few issues that needed to be addressed with the site. Now that everything is working smoothly there is a topic that we need to talk about: furniture delivery charges.

There you are about to buy a brand new dining room set or queen bed and then you see the delivery charge. You're probably thinking: 'I can go pick it up myself and save me the $xx.xx.' You would have a valid point in doing so, but what you wouldn't have is the service that comes along with the whole delivery experience.

Think about it; you have to lug the piece(s) of furniture from the store to your home by yourself. Then, you need to unwrap it, build it, and finally, throw out all the packaging material that comes with your furniture. But wait..., is that a nick on the leg of the table?! Nooooooo!!!

Yes. Now you have to get that piece of furniture back to the store, file a report with the returned goods department and wait to verify that they have another one just like it in stock.

The delivery charge not only covers the cost of gas, but it also includes the service you receive from El Dorado Furniture.

El Dorado Furniture's White Glove Delivery includes:

• Assembly of all delivered pieces.


• Quality inspection of furniture.


• Placement in the room of your choice.


• Removal of all packing material.

These may seem like no-brainers, but they are a few of the many measures we take in order to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your new furniture. Besides, what are you going to do with that new mattress? Strap it to the back of your truck and hope it doesn't fly off in the middle of I95? Come on. We all know how that ends up. Play it smart. Play it safe.

We have to run, but now that we're back on track you can expect to hear alot more frequently from us. Have a great day! We'll see you soon.

By the way... If you ever feel like saying hello, simply look us up on AOL AIM: bespinnative

As we get ready to leave the hectic pace of the office and join our loved ones for the holidays; we would like to wish all of you a peaceful and joyous holiday season. I am on my way to find a cup of eggnog.
Enjoy yourselves and keep safe. We’ll be back here on the 26^th of December to finish off 2007.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

The holidays are here!!! A cup of eggnog, a kiss under the mistletoe, and fresh winter snow on the ground… Ok, so being that we live in South Florida, we probably will not see the last one, but two out of three is not bad. Before I go any further let me just say that I acknowledge the fact that there is more than one tradition being celebrated around this time of year, but for our purposes and beliefs; I will concentrate on the Christian holiday. Everyone ready? Let’s go!

If you are like me, Christmas is your favorite time of the year. Lots of presents, food, and best of all… close friends and family to share it all with. But first, you have to get your place ready to “wow” everyone with your decorating style.

What’s that? You don’t have style? Well, fret not. Our in-house decorator, Rudy Remigio, is full of decorating tips that can help you finish the task at hand.

‘Red! Lots of red!’ He suggests. Rudy warns us to not over do it, but to rather use as much (or little) as you are comfortable with. ‘You also want to throw in a few shades of green as well as gold or silver to balance everything out.’ If you don’t have a single piece of furniture colored red in your house, Rudy recommends that you purchase a slipcover for the sofa and chair. ‘That way, if you feel like using them again next year you can.’

If you lean more toward the contemporary style, remember to keep the decorations on the tree to a minimum. Big Christmas ornaments and sparse lighting will say, ‘Christmas!’, but it will not overwhelm the feel of your home. ‘You can also make your own decorations in the style that better fits your home. ‘Wreaths are something I am very fond of. A fun activity to do with a loved one is to make your own decorations. You can keep them for next year; or make new ones each year.’

For those of you who want to go for a more traditional look, a bigger tree with lots of decorations and lights will do. ‘Think of the classic film, A Miracle on 34^th Street, and all its grandeur.’ Most people will feel more comfortable with this setting since it is the most popular. Just think of when you were a kid, and your mom would decorate the house and Christmas tree with every little knick-knack there was, and you’ll get the picture.

A few floral arrangements throughout the house can also help you bring it all together. While we have the traditional items such as evergreens and the always popular Poinsettia, try to break from the norm and use other flowers to liven up the atmosphere.

Poms,carnations, roses, or similar blooms can be used to achieve this look.

So now that we have all this great advice, let us go and decorate our home in the best way we know how. And if you have doubts about something, don’t be afraid to drop us a line. We’ll have Rudy scrambling to get you the best advice he has for your specific need.

We at El Dorado Furniture would like to thank you, our customers, for a wonderful year and wish you and your loved ones an enjoyable Holiday season.

El Dorado Furniture is dedicated to providing a better future for the entire community by participating in the local recycling program. Being a green office is an effort we feel very strongly about. That is why we take part in the recycling process by preparing and shipping over 40,000 lbs. of cardboard material every week. About 1,800 lbs. of office waste is also transported to the recycling plant on a bi-weekly basis as well as 600 lbs. of plastics material.

In our corporate offices we strive to be resource-efficient in our everyday work-life.

By printing on both sides of the paper and re-using scrap printing paper whenever possible we reduce the amount of paper waste by one quarter. We also use the 'think before you print' motto. This will ensure the amount of paper used is cut to a minimum.

Our office thermometer is kept at 77 degrees. This is a realistic level of comfort for any season here in South Florida. Remember: If it’s so cold indoors that everyone in the office wears a cardigan or jacket then the temperature is definitely much too low.

Aluminum recycling stations are set up around the office and lunch room to collect every type of recyclable container. Lights that are not needed are turned off to save energy as well as any electronic component such as computer monitors, desktop speakers etc.

Instead of using plastic utensils everyone in the office brings their own flatware from home.

We believe that these simple but effective steps will ensure our community and its people with a cleaner environment we can all be happy to live in.
