We use custom furniture vendors so select the exact sofa, dining chair or table that works with in your project. This means that the style of the piece, upholstry, wood or metal finish is selected just for you, using the highest quality of vendors. We can be asured of the level of materials used, mannor of construction and reptupble companies.   IDC and their partners will guide you in the design and selection process.  Unlike on-line ordering – there is no level of or measure for the quality of construction, materials, or support.  IDC does not use an on-line furniture vendor for this reason.
