For those that sent away for some samples. How long did it take to get them? and who did you order them from.
I just signed up on there web site http://samplecenter.guilfordofmaine.com/ and requested some samples. Hope it does not take too long I really need to nail down the colors I am going to go with.

Took some time, too long. The web site is pretty miserable too.

I was afraid some one was going to tell me that :( Looking at the little sample pictures does not really help me. I need to see it in person. Luckily I am still weeks away from installing fabric on the walls

I have ordered samples from them a few times over the past month. They usually show up in less than a week.

Just FYI.

On my LCD monitor the the blue and grey samples shown on the screen are a lot more saturated and darker on the screen then the real fabrics. If you ruled out some potential colors because they looked to dark (or light) on your monitor I would go ahead and order them now rather then waiting another week.

Totally agreed..I wanted darker colors and found out that the 701 line is all MUCH lighter than it looked on my LCD monitor..almost too much so..

Yeah, the colors look a lot different in person than on the screen. If the fabric is for acoustical treatments, and not putting speakers behind, the Anchorage line has some nice colors, and doesn't have the burlap look.

This is where I ordered all my samples. Once you register, it was very simple.

They always arrived in less then a week to the west coast.

Yeah, I just got my 4th set of samples yesterday as well, it was in under a week. I probably should start sending some of them back as we are narrowing things down.

If you didn't find the colors you were looking for, they are pretty good about sending more samples out. The trick is figuring out which ones to order :rolleyes:
