Sealed returns and unused company stock.
Factory packaging, or boxed again after a check. Never lived with. Legs and hardware are in the carton. This is a return from the company or leftover new stock — not a used piece.

Three grades. That’s the whole system.
Most of the floor is Article, with a few other makers mixed in. Some pieces were only opened. A few were sat on. The grade is the difference, and the price follows it.
Open box. Not used.
Unboxed or assembled so we could inspect it. No daily sitting, no stains, no pet hair. If there is a freight scuff, it is written on the listing. Priced under what the same model costs new.
See grade a piecesOpen box. Slightly used.
Sat on, staged, or lived with briefly. Clean and structurally sound. Wear is cosmetic — a softened cushion, a small rub — and we say so. No rips, no broken frames.
See grade b pieces- We do not call a piece new if the box was opened and someone lived with it.
- Grade A can have a freight scuff. If it does, the listing says where.
- Grade B is clean. If there is a stain, a tear, or a broken leg, it is not on this floor.
- The crossed-out price on each listing is what that model lists for new.
