Washington (CNN) - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is requesting that the order for a $31,000 dining set be canceled, according to a statement provided exclusively to CNN by longtime adviser Armstrong Williams.
"I was as surprised as anyone to find out that a $31,000 dining set had been ordered," Carson said in the statement. "I have requested that the order be canceled. We will find another solution for the furniture replacement."
Carson also said his wife, Candy Carson, had "asked if used furniture was an option," the first time there's been an indication that she was involved in the process. "My wife also looked at catalogs and wanted to be sure that the color of the chair fabric of any set that was chosen matched the rest of the decor," he wrote.
"I made it known that I was not happy about the prices being charged and that my preference would be to find something more reasonable," he added.

She also had "touch on" brass lamps (we called it 'mood' lighting), a desk where she could sit on either side, just in case she wanted to look out the window. It all sat on top of a huge oriental rug.
She left, and before they could hire another boss, the department replaced the stuff with serviceable Steel Case office furniture and turned most of that space into 2 walled cubbies like the rest of us use. 
what are you going to do with it, use it a business write-off, or give it to one of your employees that work for you like your family members that are employed at the HUD..............
"This week, my family and I have been under attack by the media questioning our integrity and ethics. I have openly asked for an independent investigation to rest these unfounded biases," Carson said in a statement posted to his social media accounts."
