Hi Anita, nice to see you at the sale. The description you wrote sounds like what the tree is supposed to be; 10-20ft tall, with some spines, scarlet flowers. Native from India to southern China so it should be fairly cold hardy. I planted one in the Garden last month, it was from the same batch as the ones being sold so don't have any other info on how it grows here. It should grow well and since it is a smaller tree, make a good specimen. Eric Orlando,FL

Though they say "integrated," it is really built-in-with-a-panel. The grill is still visible at the bottom, unlike sub-zero or the BSH columns. This is not a knock on Perlick. They make a great product, and their use of terminology is consistent with most other companies. 99% of people probably don't care. For me, however, it is an important detail.

I think it was semi transparent - can a picture help you know? Am interested in staining it possibly a grey or lighter brown. What do you think? And if so, would I sand it first?

I have White Dove on all of the woodwork and ceilings throughout my house. It is definitely warm, but works as well with all of the cool colors in the bedrooms as it does with the reds and golds in the living areas. I recommend White Dove to a lot of my clients as well. IMO it is versatile yet dependable. Good choice! Nicole
