Associated Brands

October 3, 2008

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding servicce Alternate Choice provided to Associated Brands in the setup of our new corporate office.

From furniture and chair selection, office layout to installation, and last minute details on filing cabinets, the support and expertise you brought to the project was superb. You enabled us to create a very professional, functional and comfortable working environment.

To say you went"over and above" for us would not do it justice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alternate Choice.

Alan and Rebekka, I personally want to thank you for all the time and attention that you gave us.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Shadgett

Vice President and CFO
