We are really happy with the response across the board from our customer base regarding the Candice Olson product line, said Parker Goss, Highland House president. The reaction to and buy-in with this collection has been phenomenal for us. According to the feedback and orders we have received from dealers, this collection has hit a chord with consumers. People really seem to connect with Candice as well as with her designs. We are working closely with Candice Olson in an on-going effort to add more of her stylish, well-priced upholstery, case goods and occasional accents at future markets.
