From: Lindal Kidd Oryx just gave me an idea. Size is important...but how can you REALLY tell if a piece will fit until you get it back home? It's even more important if the furniture is No Mod, or if it can't be enlarged/shrunk as a single piece because one or more prims hits the size limit. Actually that is an interesting point.... i made a loveseat once for a couple of friends, checked the poses and everything myself, gave it to them. Had forgotten they were 7ft giants as supposed to my far more modest 5'11-ish size. Had to resize the whole thing for them  On the other hand, most 'normal' sized furniture makes me feel tiny and i'm always glad if i can move poseballs around so i'm not floating in mid air  So MOD furniture or alternatively usable models in a store seem kinda important to me these days. |

there is a prefab maker that does something like this. you can buy a $1 'template' to rez on your property to see if the house will fit. ive always thought this was an awesome idea.

Give out free demos...just a box, maybe textured with the image of the piece, but exactly the same maximum L/W/D dimensions. Then the customer can try out the demo box in their home before they buy your furniture. Or the demo could be a "real" (No Mod) copy of the furniture, but colored DayGlo orange and stamped DEMO in big letters, like they do with hair and skins.
