Freight in.
Furniture out.

A project's furniture arrives over months, from vendors who ship whenever the piece is finished — and almost never when the site is ready for it. We take the delivery, hold the whole project together, and bring it to the room on install day.

A warehouse for your project, for as long as the project needs one. Receiving, storage and delivery for interior designers across Los Angeles — with inspection, consolidation and installation when you want them.

01 Delivery

It arrives at our dock.

Ship it here instead of to the site. We take the delivery from any carrier, on any date, and sign for it so nobody has to be at the house.

02 Intake

Logged against your sidemark.

Tagged to the project and the room it belongs to, so a piece that lands in April is still findable in July. Open it and report on condition too, if that's what you want.

03 Storage

Held with the rest of the project.

Wrapped and stored alongside everything else for that job, however long the schedule slips — as a project, not as pallets in a unit somewhere.

04 Install day

And leaves as furniture.

It all goes to site together on the date you set — unwrapped, carried in, and placed. The cartons leave with us.

Why designers use a receiver

The furniture is ready before the room is.

Vendors ship when a piece comes off the line. Sites finish when they finish. Between those two dates somebody has to own a building, take the delivery, and keep a project's worth of furniture safe and together — which is the whole job, and it isn't one a designer should be doing from a phone.

A driveway is not a loading dock.

Freight carriers deliver to the curb. They won't carry a heavy piece inside, won't wait, and once somebody at the house signs the receipt, the carrier's part is finished.

A storage unit is not a warehouse.

Nobody there signs for your freight, nobody knows which piece belongs to which room, and nobody loads a truck for you on install day.

Schedules move. Furniture shouldn't.

When an install date slides a month, the pieces that already shipped need somewhere to sit that isn't a client's garage or the back of your own car.

Services

Take the whole thing, or just the part you're missing.

Most projects need the first three. The rest are there when a job calls for them — priced per project, not bundled into a package you didn't ask for.

Freight receiving

We accept delivery from any carrier on any schedule — LTL, parcel, white-glove or container — and sign for it on your behalf.

Project storage

Wrapped, off the floor, and held together under one sidemark for as long as the install date keeps moving.

Delivery & installation

Padded transport to site on your date, carried in and set where you want it, with the cartons and blankets leaving on our truck.

Optional

Inspection & condition report

Uncrated on arrival, photographed and reported the same day — worth doing on the pieces where a concealed-damage claim would hurt.

Optional

Consolidation

Several vendors and arrival dates combined into a single scheduled delivery, so the site sees one truck instead of many.

Optional

Overflow & short-term space

A project's worth of room without signing a lease — useful mid-install, between phases, or when a client's own house runs out of floor.

How we track it

Everything moves by sidemark.

Put your sidemark on the purchase order and it becomes the only reference anyone needs. It's how a chair that arrives in April finds the rest of its room in July — and how you can ask about one piece without knowing which truck it came on.

A

You send the sidemark and purchase order when you place the order.

B

We take the delivery and log it against that sidemark the day it lands.

C

It's stored with everything else for that project, and you can ask what's in at any point.

D

You set an install date, and all of it goes to site together.
