Beds & Boxes
Est. 510 AV
Intro/General Rundown
I've got a Dynasty member in Kenash so here is the business. The shop is mostly furniture with some boxes and chests as well. Jed takes special requests and has a small area for poor quality furniture, but mostly sells average quality items, until his skills increase. I will be sorting out a plan for transportation. Once the business is started and I get some money flow to do that.
I'd also like to mention that I have a PC that will be helping with the work in the business. Timothy Mered does not have very many skills pertaining to the business yet, so I will be taking him in as an apprentice of sorts, but he will be helping with the work load along with my NPC Sander (see below). Sander will be helping purely with organizing the business, while Tim will be helping with the making the furniture and general help as well.

Furniture
*Jed only sells average quality furniture in his showrooms. He doesn't put poor quality furniture in the showrooms. If he messes up he will usually throw it out or scraps it. You would have to request to go to the backroom for poor quality furniture, and the selection is rather slim. As his skills increase, this option will disappear

Services
There is an option for personalized furniture. If you cannot find what you need on the list or want something more, you go to Jed. He will work with you to build what you need and specialize it to your wishes. Walk-ins are easiest but should you need to schedule an appointment, there is a 5 gm placeholder. You give 5 gm when you schedule it and get 5 gm back when you show up on time.
Note: There is a 75% chance that your appointment will be irritating.
To schedule an appointment, you can simply PM me or post here.

Transportation
Customers are encouraged to bring their own forms of transportation, since Beds and Boxes does not currently have a solution to that problem. Most furniture made my Bed's and Boxes are not excessively large (excluding wardrobes, beds, tables and some chests/boxes). If it cannot be arrived are assembled on-sight. Although this does pose a problem, it is in the works.
Note to STs: I understand if this is going to drop my sales some, I plan on tackling this problem right away. As of now it is not in my starting skills or budget to provide transportation, and there is no option available in Kenash for me to arrange a contract with. This problem should not last longer than one, possibly two, seasons.

Brief Bio & History: Sander is a quiet boy, although quite mischievous. Despite this, he is responsible. For not being born a slave, he has little issue with his position. Sander invests most of his interest in Jed's profession, despite it not being his purpose, trying to help out with the actual making of the furniture when he is allowed. His main job is to attend the sales and organize the shop to be more aesthetically pleasing, as Jed can't seem to be bothered do it himself. He goes through and cleans up after Jed, and is there to address any questions or requests of the customers. Most of the customers concerns will simply be directed to Jed, but he will try to answer nonetheless. Since Sander was born free, he doesn't possess the submissive nature of slaves, which can come as a shock to Dynasty members when he talks back or voices his opinions. But Sander doesn't speak up without a solid reason to do so, he may not be submissive, but he is respectful, which is the only thing that keeps him from getting into trouble. When he does his words are swift and witty, though not always knowledgeable. Its easy to say his tongue has surpassed his age, and Jed always reminds him of it with a quick hit or shove. If you ever witness and argument between the two, it would be quite comical. Considering Jed will just deliver a blunt smack if he finds Sander annoying, it is rare. Jed had gotten Sander when his business started, a few years ago. Though their history together isn't long, Sander was quick to learn the ins and outs of working for Jed and managing the parts of the shop that Jed neglects. (HD)
