An update to this thread. By now everyone is used to supply chain shortages and long time delays, its across all industries.

In talking with Hancock and Moore, they are excited that production has improved by 2% over orders. Now, that's not a lot, because it means an existing order may finish three days sooner than the 6 month average being quoted, but it's the FIRST time they have been able to gain on backlogs in a year and a half, so the trend is good news. Stationary is improving quicker than motion, because recliner mechanism makers still have trouble getting product to the furniture makers. Long wait times will continue on motion for some time, perhaps one to two years, and that is across all makers.

Please don't think your existing order is going to be ready a lot sooner, because 2% is not enough to move times noticeably.
