This just in: New York City no longer center of world. As rents go higher (despite economic dips), and civilized people crave the country life, furniture stores have proliferated more and more outside of The City. As reported by Craig Kellog in The Times, the modern furniture mafia is moving out too. "Jonathan Gallin, a former photo stylist in New York, moved to the Catskills three years ago with the idea of building houses 'in the style of Richard Neutra,' he said. Instead, he rented an old luncheonette, and transformed it into a store called Mid-Century Modern. Mr. Gallin sells classics by Knoll, and vintage pieces, to urban refugees like Chandra North, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Pottery planters in white or celery glaze start at $125." MGR

This a letter i recieved. very dissapointing. do not order from this company.....

Dr. Duncan,

I wish that I had better news to give you. I will explain further, but first I need to let you know that, unfortunately the order was never processed by Knoll, and at this point I will need to make restitution to your credit card.

I got behind with my payments to Knoll and they cancelled my credit terms. I thought that the order had gone through, however they were not going to process the order with payment from me at the point of order entry. I thought that the order was being produced.

Over the past few months I have had to realize that my business was failing and as such I have arranged to get a loan to close the business without leaving any debts. The loan will be closing in about 14 days, at which time I can return your money.

Dr. Duncan, I am truly sorry to be telling you this information. I do not take it lightly and have never been in this position before. I thought that the order was being produced and that I would be able to pay for it with the loan and have the merchandise sent to you, but I was wrong. I wanted to make sure that the order was not being produced before getting back to you.

I realize that you may want to call the bank, but please know that I will definitely be making restitution within a short time frame, and please know that I am truly sorry for all the inconveniences associated with this situation.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Gallin
