apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Acrylic also scratches easily - easier than glass.

My grandmother, who has excellent style - a real mix with a lot of very lush, fancy antique pieces - had a storage tower made of lucite with a number of shelves and a door, which she used to store her sweaters and scarves. They were all folded up nicely and stacked in a pleasing color order, both practical because you could see them all and attractive from the outside.

Acrylic pieces are wonderful and if taken care of properly, can look pristine for decades.

nice

I saw them a while ago because I have a project in mind, but I don't know how to go about ordering this from the east coast and having the design come out right, plus need to be shipped.

I don't get it.

Good Questions-
I would have had the same questions a few years ago, but now I work "in the belly of the beast" so to speak. Luckily it is not as complicated as it might seem--- IF you are dealing with a reputable fabricator who is known for high quality work. (There are a lot of "acrylic fabricators" who use inferior material and have shoddy, rushed workmanship that results in ugly glue joints and discoloration and crazing, so it is something to consider when shopping around. Acrylic is one of those things about which that old crass saying is sadly true "You get what you pay for.")
At Aaron R Thomas Design we regular work with our clients all over the USA and internationally (by phone and email- talking, sketching, sharing inspiration, ideas) to agree on the exact design, and then to safely ship them to their destination. All of our acrylic furniture, lighting, accessories, etc are built by hand by Aaron R Thomas' Team of Artisans in Orange County California of only the highest quality cast acrylic.
We've simplified the process further by adding an extensive online store ( with free shipping). You can click and order there, or browse it as a jumping off point for creating a custom design and then contact us by phone, email or fax to get started on whatever you need. (Mixed Media available, too: metal, glass, leather...)
