Planet Hardwood built a wood floor Stonehenge to show off just how large the sample sizes are at the St. George, Vt.-based showroom and warehouse.
The idea was sparked when Planet Hardwood’s marketer saw the company’s sample sizes for the first time. The 30-inch-wide, 7-foot-tall samples looked “monolithic,” said Jeff Pierce of Crosshair Communications.
So he convinced the Planet Hardwood team to lug a number of the samples outside and position them to look like Stonehenge.
The sculpture could have been a tourist attraction, but it was only up long enough for some high-resolution photos to be taken. Pierce said he’s trying to convince the company to keep Stonehenge up full-time … inside.
