Interesting.
It's hard to imagine HM promoting and selling competitors' products, though.

$23/share
Glad to see Sun Capital actually selling a company rather than just driving it into bankruptcy.

Orleans .... thousands of people buy shells from Modernica , and Herman Miller brand new . I know cause they send them to my company to put a fabric or vinyl cover on. I saw at the show room that Herman Miller is starting to put the covers back on the new fiberglass or pvc chairs. They do get pricey.
