All of us at ACHLA Designs are sad to announce the passing of our long-time representative, Kay Arnold Barnett. Kay was our first rep. We signed her up in 1995 when we started ACHLA Designs and showed at High Point for the first time. She was a very warm and much-liked person who loved working with customers.

Kay attended many shows with us, from the New York Gift Show at the Piers to Atlanta's AmericasMart January and July shows; she covered the New Jersey and New York region for us.

Her presence will be greatly missed by us, as well as her customers in the Garden Center and Interior Design industries, many of whom she knew for over 20 years. In addition to our line she represented, among others, Uwharrie Chair and Campo de’ Fiori. Kay is survived by her two sons, Brett and Barton Barnett, and a granddaughter whom she loved dearly and talked about often.

ACHLA Designs has not yet appointed a rep to cover Kay's territory and requests that all customers work with the office's customer service department at (800) 626-1114 or info@achla.com.
