Furniture Insights Newsletter: April 2012 Edition

Download & read the latest report on the American furniture industry by SmithLeonard (NC).

While we have had a streak of good results, these numbers are just making a good dent in all that was lost since 2007. For the first two months of 2012, orders were down in dollars still some 15 percent from the first two months of 2006 (price increases not considered). But the good news is that we do appear to be recovering.

The consumers also appear to be coming back after this long recession. We do not expect to gain it all back at once, but we are at least seeing some really positive results for an extended period.

Let's hope the enthusiasm from Market continues.

Berkline: 17 Dual-Holddown CNC's Going to Auction Soon

As you may be aware, Sun Capital, the investment firm that owned majority interest in Berkline Holdings LLC elected to permanently close operations in Morristown, TN at the end of March.  This economy has wreaked its havoc; Berkline was a great loyal customer, and we wish its former employees all the best.

There are 17 Series III-C Accu-Routers at plant #3 in Morristown which Berkline purchased between 1994 and 1998.  These machines have been well maintained and are in operational condition.  The average usage is 15+ years, three shifts a day.
