Any luck so far? We also had an order with them. Are sad about the potential loss of our new amazing couch. Just e-mailed the gmail account.

ooh, not a minute later I get a response from Mark. He says they paid vendors up front and are just trying to work out logistics. Let's hope it works!

DId it work out? They are having a going-out-of-business sale the next three weekends.

Wait, what?

Not yet... haven't heard back from him since then. I don't know what's happening with our couch.

I no longer live in Boston, so can't check it out. We paid for the couch, and were promised delivery to Washington DC, but have not received it.
