Ellie - I agree, it does all tie in together nicely....but just to clarify, in my previous post (#94) I meant to say, I highly recommend seeing an Escape in person...if you can, before submitting your build sheet. Not that I highly recommend the standard options... I simply wanted to let you know what the 'standard options' were since those options are included in the base price. Anything other than the 'standard options' are considered custom and will cost extra. I too, am not a fan of the stock fabric but could not find a fabric I liked with Sunbrella Fabrics so I looked around until I found something I liked in a local Joann's Fabric store. ETI says it just needs to be 'upholstery' fabric. Good luck in your search for fabric, I have a feeling your dogs will love whatever you pick! And yes, you said it, this forum is a real Godsend, for sure!
