We are being bombarded with products every day made in China. More and more businesses are leaving California because of the hostile environment that big business is forced to operate in. This has lead to smaller, leaner companies to pick up the pieces - so I guess we're one of them. I am happy to tell you that we are building a totally custom, one-of-a-kind pool table made from curly maple and walnut and we are exporting it to China. Now, this may be a speck of fly-dung in a room full of black pepper, but I can tell you it feels good to export something to that country.
Take the time to look around you and see what California is left with - a whole lot of boutique businesses - and we are getting stronger, more competitive, doing business OUR way. I personally find a lot of pleasure in designing custom pool tables and poker tables. Customers delight in having a hand in the manufacturing process. In the case of the China export, a nationally known architect located here in the Palm Springs area has contracted with us to produce this one-of-a-kind pool table. Now let's just hope in six months they don't replicate it and flood our market with my little beauty.
Photos to follow, I assure you.
