Vanguard Furniture Makes Rushed Sofa for Obamas
As far as the normal time frame for producing a standard sofa, it takes approximately about a month to get it done. But when it is for the White House, you only have a week to produce one and that is exactly what Vanguard Furniture did to have it placed inside the White house.
Vanguard Furniture had to rush things in a manner of speaking in time for the Obamas home renovation per se. Led by master upholsterer Doug Jones, the faster pace was something he did not mind. Besides, it was for the White House and the new First Family, the Obamas.
“The orders mean producing and shipping faster than normal, redoing your schedule,” said Vanguard president Dixon Mitchell. “But everybody wants to beat the deadlines. This is special.”
Master upholsterer Doug Jones, a 27-year veteran of Vanguard, put the finishing touches on the sofa last week before it was shipped off for deliver through retailer Anthropologie, which is accessorizing the White House residence for the soon-to-be first family.
“I’ll have something in the White House,” Jones said as he worked on the piece last week.
