Are Saying
About Ask's products...
"My friends will love this. It fits perfectly in my apartment."
(First online client - 'Sue' Setsuko, Kyoto, Japan)
"The table is even better in person"
(N. Norton, Washington, D.C.)
Q : Interesting online inquiry . . ."Is this a knockoff?"
A: These are all originals by Starbay ! Unlike handbags, it would be too easy to detect even a good fake and too expensive to reproduce. It takes 3 weeks alone to cure the wood before production is even started. Even the brass hardware is hand-forged.
Q : "I saw the Rochefort Desk at a boutique in Manhattan for over double the price. Is this really the same piece?" (T. Scott, Boston, Ma.)
A: Yes. We are our competitors worst nightmare, but our clients love us.
"I told my husband it would be perfect for our daughter. It's even better than I thought."
(Fairfax, Va.)
"Your furniture is so beautiful I'd like to do my whole house in it."
(R. Gayle, Boston, Ma.)
"If it's only that much, I'll go ahead and buy two."
(D. Dale, South Beach, Fl.)
About Ask Design Center...
"Sharon is a talented designer. I was initially skeptical with some of the colors she selected at first, but when it done I became a firm believer that she knows exactly what she is doing. Her recommendations are always perfect for each room and our requirements." (Doug Duncan, Washington, D.C.)
"Absolutely amazing! I thought it was impossible to update an old traditional design hag like myself and now I have a hip, new, updated contemporary home. I never realized how much the heavy colors and furniture truly affected my life until they were gone and replaced with serene, comfortable, earthy colors and textures. Sharon is incredibly good at her job and nice to deal with. She really worked with me to do a slow transition that did not break the bank." (B. Fennell, Washington, DC)
"I really appreciate that the design center is providing so many eco-friendly furniture options for the home. There is not a lot available and you have a great selection."

"Ask Design Center is a great concept that will make big impact on the design industry. People won't have to go to just Ethan Allen anymore, plus they get a really talented Interior Designer picking the products upfront."
(J. Kinnamon, Stillwater, Ok.)
"There are so many women who want to design their homes, but don't want to make mistakes. The style questionnaire is a great idea."
(J. Rayno, Haymarket, Va.)
"I know a lot of women who would love designer furniture options, without having to actually hire an interior designer."
(L. Hamilton, Washington, DC)
"Everyone knows that if you want cool sh*^, go to Sharon. Great products."
(S. Graham, Washington, DC)
