Last week the team came together to reflect on 2025, plan for 2026, and collaborate on ways to keep doing what we do, but better. We left the retreat ecstatic for the year ahead and grateful to work with the best team alongside the best manufacturers this industry has to offer.

As we close out 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for our incredible team, industry partners, and friends. Wishing you and yours a wonderful year ahead! We are closed the rest of today and tomorrow, we will be back on January 2nd.

Our offices will be closing at noon today and reopening on Friday, December 26th. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at CSLA!

We hosted our first annual Manhattan Tree Trimming and the office is officially feeling festive! Nothing brings a team together like setting up a new Christmas tree, arguing over ornament placement, and sipping manhattans. It wouldn’t be the holidays without a little drama ;)

Happy Thanksgiving from CSLA! We are grateful for our industry partners, customers, and incredible team! Our offices are closed today & tomorrow. PS - Remember to set your undercabinets to 2700K so your turkey looks as good as it tastes. No one likes dry poultry under 4000K.
