Sometime back I wrote an article that considered the pros and cons of checking samples out. The article generally endorsed the policy of checking samples out to our customers when needed. Below is a differing opinion from a reader on this issue followed by my response to those comments. Keep in mind, my response discusses only points that were not addressed in the original article, but I believe should have been included. You can find that original article in the June 2016 Floor Trends online archives.
