These prices led to the total cost which is....." (is it correct "to lead" here?)

Thanks for checking!!!

Dear Rover,

I think that the item ordered should not be specified because it is assumed that we are talking about a stand. I need, in this case, only to mention that the price is initial (then it increased by adding shelves and bar stools).

Glass shelves and bar stools I need to stress that they are in addition because they were previously not included in the initial price.

If this is a quotation for the supply and erection of a stand with shelves and stools, nothing should be 'assumed' but everything should be specified, to avoid any argument when you send the bill.

Otherwise, the document lacks the transparency you are seeking to impart.

Furthermore, it is not clear what you mean by 15.000 €.

I took it to mean €15,000
