But browsing the web for it is just not the same.

You need a fast internet connection. And a fast computer. Even your older iPhone probably can’t handle the online catalog anymore. After a few pages, you just give up.

But with a paper catalog, you can put it down. Circle it. Fold it. Rip pages out. Write on it. Then discard it. You can rifle through the pages, and dream of how you want your home to be laid out.

It is too bad they designed it poorly. I regularly test my sites with older devices and ensure even a 25yo PC can access it. It,s not that difficult, just a bit tedious.
