From The Knot: How to Write Wedding Vendor Reviews

Because I know just what to say,
And rhyming's quite within my power,
To write it should be child's play.

A tableware and home goods brand would ideally have a product that can sell in most of these 15 stores. Note: sorry about writing over some of these store names. I was actually crossing off which ones would not sell fine porcelain tableware.
