Under Option 2, does the furniture piece and the fabric have to be tested a whole, complete assembly together? Or can the furniture piece and the fabric be tested separately and then assembled? Can the fabric and furniture piece be listed as separate line items on the LEED Online form? Thoughts?

I'm not sure honestly. I do know that items like carpet are tested glued down to a test neutral substrate and that the glue is the manufacturer recommended product. I can see where the fabric and it's glue/backing would be included as part of the test. Now if that is required or just good practice? This I don't know. It doesn't seem to matter how you log in the fabric and furniture. It would be more if you could get the cost separated.
