Retailing of furniture is an important segment in
the economy of America. The segment covers manufacture, distribution and retail
of home furniture, home furnishings as done by Furniture Now in Rochdale which can be seen in Furniture Now Reviews. During the economic downturn of 2008 the furniture
retailing industry took a massive hit as home improvement projects had a
negative impact. With the economy improving it appears that the 2013 statistic
of furniture and home furnishings sales of over $100 billion will be crossed.
The reasons are obvious. Home ownership is
increasing as employment levels rebound. Consumer demand for home goods is
focusing on high end quality goods as compared to mass market merchandise. To
give an example; the U.S. tabletop industry reported that silver flatware alone
contributed more than 70 million dollars in 2012 and the figure is growing.
Product innovation and environmentally friendly
practices in businesses is leading the charge. Housing demand is rising
(thankfully without the subprime madness) and rising affluence is contributing
furniture demand. One of the known dealer in U.S. is Furniture Now Reviews.
Industry statistics have revealed that furniture and
furnishings store sales has crossed over $100 billion. Out of this almost 70%
of sales has been achieved by top 100 furniture stores. That leaves $30 billion
dollars as share of smaller furniture stores which is a good sign. Furniture Now Review have shown that a large
proportion of their buyers favor retailers in their own neighborhood.
