Scott has relocated to Georgia from New York to manage the new office his company has opened here.
However the house he has been given has very little furniture. He doesn't have time to go to the store and is unsure if he will get furniture of his choice online.
He goes to abc.com and searches for chairs. However he becomes confused by the huge no of choices he has. He is already unnerved at the idea of going through the entire collection and doing the same for tables, bed, sofa etc.
