I am always learning and want to foward that information to you.  I had a client fall in love with a Oak floor in a Cherry stain.  When they called around the Style name and number come up as a dropped product. 

Well, sometimes the manufacturer just gives the same product a new name and code.   I guess to "freshen" up their line that they are coming out with new styles.  Long story short is that I always call my manufacturer sales rep and find out the new style, or even find leftover stock for some $ savings.

So don't give up on a dropped line.  Ask your store to check with the manufacturers rep to get the replacement or check stock.
