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.
