For 2018, Castelle is set to launch a quick-ship program that encompasses hundreds of furnishing items from three of the manufacturer’s most popular collections, making them available to ship within 48 hours. The Monterey, Park Place, and Roma collections (as well as the coordinating Metro designs for each) will be warehoused for quick-turnaround shipment to Castelle retail partners nationwide that participate in this program.

Derek Ritzel, president/CEO of Castelle, says, “Castelle realizes that not all consumers give our retail partners enough lead time for a customized product, and they do not want to sacrifice quality to get the product they want on the timeline they need. Although our core business continues to be custom, with the quick-ship program, our retailers can have luxury products virtually on demand.”

The collections available in the quick-ship program are stocked in the most popular finishes and fabrics and will be available to domestic destinations and the end consumer within two weeks. Each collection will include a predetermined cushion fabric, accent-pillow fabric, welting, and sling fabric; a single finish; and cast-button and tabletop selections. Marketing materials and swatch samples for the program are available by request.

Three dining-table designs are included in the program, along with four coffee tables, a side table, and bar-height and counterheight tables—as well as a complement of Metro dining, coffee, side, and counter tables. Shipping will originate from warehouses in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Houston, Texas.
