Our trip to Furnware

What a great time we had at Furnware.  It was interesting to see the long history it has had in the Hawkes Bay and where the furniture is exported to.  We had a great tour of the factory and learnt how the furniture was made.  We then designed our own table in groups and we are now holding thumbs that one of Room 13's designs has won the table to made for our room.  Overall we all had a great time.
