We are in the pre-installation phase of our (music) room's window treatment. My choice of Stoneside was based on reviews of course, but also just scrutinizing how Stoneside made it easy to catch one's eye to their website, and hold that attention. I chose not to do this on my own, and didn't really appreciate that choice until the designer in Los Angeles, Treasure Workman, arrived for the initial appointment. The process is somewhat more involved than I would have predicted. There were many choices to consider (what do you use the room for, how often, what mood do you want, lighting, etc.). But I realized quickly that having a designer there to answer questions and offering up solutions and challenges as to what might be the best fit for our room was optimal. I believe it is crucial in helping one to know which way to turn. You only need to miss one of the many pertinent angles, and it might be the proverbial straw that you didn't think of allowing for. Trust me, if you want it done right and with a dedicated professional, Stoneside's assessment if of no charge, which means you have nothing to lose. Treasure was quite knowledgeable, and showed a sincere expression of caring how the room will look. She knew what she was doing, that came across very early, and we spent a good amount of time going over the details. Her assistant, Francisco Villarreal, also came out to double-check the measurement a few days hence (measure twice, cut once). Stoneside does this to ensure a proper fit, and it made a difference. Treasure and Francisco have earned my kudos and many thanks up to this point (pre-installation). I am not worried in the least bit about the outcome, and if something should go awry, Stoneside and their excellent design team will make sure it is resolved. It does not come better than this.
