Re: Going to the High Point Market on Sunday 10/17/21
Hancock and Moore wrote more orders from Dealers this Market than they ever have in the history of the company, with 22% less attendance. Those dealers that showed up (like me) were there on a mission, not to visit and get free lunch. We see consumer demand is still strong for new furniture, know that our showrooms are emptying out, and if we order now there will probably be one to two more price increases by the time the pieces start arriving in the Spring/Summer of 2022. So the serious players went to High Point, the tire kickers stayed home.
Here's a new item from Hancock and Moore shown at market (I ordered one just as shown). This is the updated Austin High Back Sofa that they modernized with a boxes seat cushion, wedge foot, and smaller arm. It will be called the 6659-3 Cullen Sofa, shown in leather Rodin Rum (GR 2) leather. Ultra Down Seat and Back, "A" nail. All the comfort of the Austin and a leap forward from the 1980's styling of the 8038NB series,

I know I have not sat in the chair and you have but part of sitting in a chair is the chair capturing my attention and making me want to sit in it......it is a pretty chair, kind of like a Milan model with spiffy trim, seat and back with a swivel bottom. I don't think I would pay that kind of money for a Milan with War Paint on.....:D

Hancock and Moore introduced a new leather that is an embossed exotic and a GR 4 price, instead of the Grades 6 to 8 that most are, and called "Bogs Ocean". There are some other colorways as well.

Like to have an exotic, statement chair but unsure how to put one together? Here's the build tag on this wonderful Boomerang chair using a GR 1 leather on the outside and Jessica Charles fabric on the inside. The Premium wood finish completes the look, and this model chair sits remarkably well in case you are wondering.

Blues are back, very popular right now. Personally I am glad to see the "it has to be neutral" trend of the past ten years winding down. Color is always fun. The Hancock and Moore Vivi Chair shown in leather Ingram Bayou.

Century Furniture's # 1 selling King Size Bed. I like it, what do you think? All Century beds are made so solid, I think they could withstand a bomb blast.
