Cummins - I thought the silks would make the outside look sharp. After finally finding reviews of them, we deleted them from our 'want list'. Even less light. Can't see out if it rains.
And I agree with you about the dark wood. We've got it now - had not realized until purchase how depressingly dominating is the combination of dark wood, with dark sofa and dark chairs. Who knows? This experience may explain my quest for more sunlight.
Wingnut - you're right about it not fitting their production model. I think when business is slow, manufacturers look for ways to serve the customers idiosyncrasies. When business is booming, mfg's can choose the easy business - and that isn't doing semi-custom alterations. As I'm told, the backlog at DRV has just jumped from 12 weeks to something like 17. That's when they take the easy money and run.
I'll leave the post out there and see what anyone else has to say. But I think you're both right. Learn to live with it.
