We were on a mission to find furniture for our kitchen, dining area and living room in our newly built cabin. Jennifer listened to what we were wanting, worked with our floor plan and showed us different pieces that would work. Jennifer was willing to spend the time with us until we got it all figured out and were able to accomplish our mission. Once our order was in place she was also very prompt at keeping us informed on the progress of our order. When we were ready to finish other areas we didn't hesitate to go back to Jennifer and again she was very helpful. She is a talented lady with a great personality which makes her easy to work with. **Comment from Jennifer Darnell for Ethan Allen Maple Grove, MN:** > I feel the same way, it was meant to be.
