Erin Zechiel
Boss Lady
Fierce in the best possible way, Erin’s the one you want in your corner.
ERIN founded Good Lines in 2013, after twenty-five years in commercial interiors working for multiple high-profile manufacturers. Driven by her love of—and respect for—excellent design, she set out to create a company infused with her unwavering standards, starting with an eco-friendly focus. Over the years, Erin has further developed Good Lines to cater to designers’ needs, calling on her own background in Interior Design, as well as her passions and keen eye, to inform her choices.
Known industry-wide for her generous nature, stellar sales instincts, and fierce (there’s that word again!) client advocacy, Erin’s love of the field and the people she works with has deep, deep roots.
Erin gets you. And she’s got you.

Howard Zechiel
Numbers Guy
Unflappable, Howard tackles everything with characteristic ease and good humor.
HOWARD pivoted from a successful career in telecommunications to the commercial design world in 2013 to eagerly dive into the family business. He applies his technical acumen to everything he does for Good Lines—from thoroughly understanding the nuances of every product we offer to assisting with complicated installations to providing prompt, detailed, reliable quotes and handily wrangling chairs.
Nothing is too detailed, too technical, or too numbers-heavy for Howard. Seriously, put him to the test. You’ll see.
Howard always rises to the occasion.

Carl Johnson
Jack-of-All-Trades
Carl makes Good Lines look gr-r-reat!
CARL breezed into Good Lines late December back in … ’24. And we’re sure glad he did. After installing his custom woven artwork in our Tuohy showroom (Carl’s a fiber artist—check out his work here), he just as seamlessly wove himself into the fabric of Good Lines.
Carl does it all, for all our lines. Quotes. Deliveries. Sampling. Inventory Control. Presentations. Libraries. Showrooms. You name it, Carl does it. And he brings loads of cool as he works— cool head, cool vibe, cool professionalism, cool background.
Yep, taking everything in his very long stride, Carl is one cool cat.
