My experience with Woodland Marketing, Inc.

Since all of us who do art fairs, need fixtures for our art, I would like to share my experience with Woodland Marketing, Inc. in Medford, WI. I ordered 2 maple spinner jewelry displays on March 28,…Continue

custom tablecovers?

Hi!  I have upgraded my booth, and I purchased the 4-foot tables that fold in the middle (from Sam's) that were discussed in another thread.  I like that they will telescope to 36" tall. Does anyone…Continue

I'm glad to hear that Megan.  Maybe I should have ordered mine unfinished.  All I really wanted was to receive 2 matching spinners at the same time. Ironically, I received an promotional email from Woodland today that was advertising…

Great advice!  Good news - well, partial good news!  Woodland answered my 3rd email - the email that I included a picture of the defective jewelry spinner.  The spinning aparatus on the bottom of the spinner that wobbled when spun,…

That's not good!  I ordered shelves from them 2 years ago and had no issues (I finished them myself).  Sorry this didn't work out for you.

Don't be confrontational. Be professional. Explain that you wanted wood that matched because you're a professional exhibitor and you wanted quality. That's why you contacted them in the first place. Explain how satisfied you are…

You're right Chris - if I had gotten tracking numbers, I'd know whether the original order was correct.  And, more importantly, I'd be able to track the packages myself.  I guess I have to quit ordering online so much. …

Whenever I order something, I always ask for the tracking number of the shipper. I then can track the shipment right to my home. If they sent the spinners in two separate boxes, there would be two tracking numbers. You could have gone to the…

My experience with Woodland Marketing, Inc.

Since all of us who do art fairs, need fixtures for our art, I would like to share my experience with Woodland Marketing, Inc. in Medford, WI. I ordered 2 maple spinner jewelry displays on March 28, 2011.  My credit card was charged the next day on March 29, 2011.  I received one spinner around the middle of April.  I immediately contacted Woodland Marketing to let them know that I did not receive my whole order.  It took 3 phone calls & quite a few emails before I was finally told that the…See More

I purchased a satin king sheet set (on sale) in a neutral creamy beige- very pretty, and trimmed it with black fringe 2-3 inches long. From the flat sheet I got 1 table cover and two step riser covers. I haven't used the fitted sheet or pillow…

Denise Best replied to Patricia Loboda's discussion 'custom tablecovers?'
I just finished all 8 tableclothes, had to purchase a king sheet set, and used all of the fabric including the pillow cases for usable fabric. My tables are 20x48" and 28" tall. I overlapped the front by 6 inches so I have access to my…

I just discovered those tables at Sam's, too. I'm planning to make my own fitted covers, using restaurant tablecloths. I shopped around and found LinenTablecloth.com to have the best prices.

Denise Best replied to Patricia Loboda's discussion 'custom tablecovers?'
Just finished 4 out of 8 table clothes, and yes I do sew. One hint, cut the top out first allowing an inch or so bigger than the table top. I rounded the corners so I could create pleats to go around the the corner edges, I also overlapped the front…

Thanks Chris for the tip about polyester material from Wal-Mart. I do sew - well, I have sewn. I have a machine, but haven't used it in a while. I actually made myself 2 pleated table skirts for an 8' table and a 10' table - the type…

I have had an interesting several days looking around the internet trying to find 'decently' priced table skirting. I even went so far as to contact some linen manufacturers in China.......their prices and photos were great but then they…

Christine Heisler replied to Patricia Loboda's discussion 'custom tablecovers?'
Pat, This all sounds pretty expensive! I hate to sew, but when I bought all of my tables, I also purchased some really inexpensive polyester fabric from Walmart and made my own fitted covers. They are smooth rather than pleated and have slits in the…

Here's another resource: www.flourish.com They make tents and other festival supplies so you know the covers are sturdy and made to stand up to art fairs. Barb Art in Good Taste www.SistakBaur.com
