[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The entire reason I would want a interior designer is to HELP with things like size and scale.  If they can't get that piece right, they'd be useless to me.  I can order the wrong furniture all by myself![/b][/quote]

100% Facts!  I would agree with everyone else that says to move on.  Speaking from my experience with our designer

- Gave us the option to order ourselves or pay an hourly rate for their time to order on our behalf and coordinate with no pressure for us to pick a certain way
- Has been willing to pass along at least some of the trade discount when orders on our behalf - in cases where the item is only sold to people in the trade or the discount helps offset the hourly rate, we have gone this route
- Has gotten the scale/size right - as mentioned above, to me this is a basic requirement of the job.  Let me add that we also paid a fee for the visit where the designer measured everything as part of our first meeting after signing a contract so this was incorporated into their process
- When there was an issue where the designer mis-measured, they stood by their work and made it right, they didn’t charge us for the return, re-order, and their time to do so
