FAQS

How do I drag product images from the browser window to my desktop?

While we recommend using the DOWNLOAD BUTTON to save a copy of the image to the folder specified in your browser settings, you can click and drag the small 'bug' in the bottom right corner of the detail image onto your desktop. Alternately, you can right-click on this 'bug' to save a copy of the image to a specified folder.

What do the quantity numbers in the product description represent?

The quantity displayed is the total number that exists in each location. It does not reflect what is in stock at any given time, but rather the overall number. These quantities are updated approximately once a week to reflect additions and losses as well as changes in location.

How do I increase the number of thumbnail photos displayed at one time?

By default, the gallery displays no more than 25 photos at a time. This number can be increased by logging into the website (registration is free) and modifying the quantity at the bottom of your user profile page. Be sure to save your changes in order for them to take effect.

I need 12 matching chairs. How do I search for chairs with 12+ quantity?

Complex searches can be accomplished using many of the same features available on major search engines- Search for an exact match by wrapping a word or string in quotes. Use * as a wildcard character. Add a minus before a string to exclude from the result. Use OR to combine searches. Spacing is important, capitalization is not. So, in the search box type: chair ("Los Angeles - 1"* -"Los Angeles - 1" -"Los Angeles - 10" -"Los Angeles - 11" or "los angeles - 2"* -"los angeles - 2")

What is the filter displaying if all locations are unchecked?

If all the filter locations are unchecked, you will see all product with inventory as well as product without inventory (0 quantity.) This is the default setting so when you click on "shop at entire collection" you will be viewing collection with all filters unchecked.

When I try to print a gallery of thumbnails, the page appears mostly blank?

In your browser print options, be sure 'print background (colors and images)' is turned on/checked before printing.


NAVIGATING OUR WEBSITE

BROWSING

Our website is arranged as a series of nested galleries. Click on the photo icon of a gallery to view the contents of that gallery. A gallery can contain photos as well as additional galleries.


Tip*

As you browse into the folders, the path you follow will appear above the galleries. At any point you may jump back to any point along your browse path by clicking on any one of these links.


DROP DOWN MENU

If you know where you're heading, you may find it easier to use the DROP DOWN MENU in the menu bar. A single click on any of the four main categories on the menu bar will open a drop down menu. A single click on the red arrow will close the drop down menu. A double click on any of the four main categories will open the category gallery.


Tip*

Nested galleries are helpful for organizing like items together, but you may find it time consuming to navigate each individual folder. Instead you may view all sub gallery photos together in the current directory by clicking on the flatten icon in the upper right. A second click will put all photos back into their sub galleries.


SEARCH

Of course, you can also use our search box found in the menu bar. Simply type in what you are looking for the search field.
