I have one on order, exactly as shown, this will be in our second floor stock order and likely will arrive late Winter 2023.

I can't really speak to that other than to tell you there is not that much automation in making upholstered furniture, its hands-on, labor intensive. I do know Sherrill skipped showing at the High...

Nothing is more frustrating that deciding you want to purchase a high ticket item after much consideration and then having to wait....and wait...and wait Some items take a year from time of order...

Doubtful that is indicative of the furniture industry, that's more like one operator that is going bankrupt. The only time I have seen that middle of the night stuff is when they have run out of...

We just had a Taylor King order ship today to our store that was ordered on January 11th, 2022. That was ten months and a couple of days to complete. I think that is too long and we are adjusting...

You are correct, we were swamped with requests and sold off a lot of stock inventory quickly.

Now we are back to “when is there going to be a sale?” A lot of people don’t realize the backlogs...

Interesting article, and I'm not surprised. Sometimes it costs more to freight the cheap furniture than the buy price on it. Amazing.

I learned about quality back when I was 16 years old and...

I think you should try to find balance in your home furnishings budget. Rooms and pieces that get rarely used, such as guest bedrooms, its fine to put lesser quality items in there. Or in living...

I don't really have a recommendation for lower tier brands or items, sorry. At a certain point, pieces become utility-grade and are not designed for durability, comfort, strength or longevity. ...

I can’t say, I don’t generally go into stores like La-z-Boy when not at work. Best to call them and ask.

The overstock situation mainly applies to imports from Pacific Rim countries (China, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, etc). Those pieces are made in huge batches, maybe 200 identical units...

It's August 2022, and production times for new orders are getting worse, not better. I know, we are all tired of hearing "Supply Chain Issues" and "Delays due to Covid". I am, you are, everyone is....

An update to this thread. Delivery times continue to be lengthy for ordered furniture, there is no real improvement. All furniture makers are short-staffed, every one of them. If you are looking...

We have seen a massive shift in the employee work forces in this industry as people leave for higher paying jobs and different environments, or simply retire or decide to live more simply.
...

An update to this thread because we are having several folks thinking "times should be improving" on building pieces. I'm here to tell you they are not improving, and if anything - they are...

We cancelled this order, we cut our floor stock orders in half back in February as our store is full. We do not have any B-Y or H&M 200 Series on order at this time, nor are likely to order them...

Another price increase on the way, this time from Fjord's on April 1st. Solely due to transport costs.

I suspect we will see another wave of increases from all suppliers right after the High...

I'm not sure if you posted this in the correct forum thread, but in any case we have (1) Bradington Young Model 201-90 Raymond Dual Recliner Sofa on order for stock in leather 920300-97. This was...

I have two types of customers, those that are pretty chilled out and patient, and on the flip side those that are more demanding and believe that Covid has run its course.

Nothing is improving...

Talking to Taylor King today, they are on 7 months build time, losing ground on time - no gaining. Add to that 6 weeks or more delivery time and you should plan on 9 months from time of order until...

The state of the furniture industry and trucking companies continues to be in turmoil. Things are NOT improving. I say this because people are coming in the store and saying "Things must be...

In what has to be a bizarre turnabout, one of our forum members ordered two Hancock and Moore recliners in mid May of this year and then a few days ago (end of July) ordered a Your Way ottoman. As I...

As of August 2021, the foam situation has improved somewhat but now there are wood and mechanism shortages (for motion). Delivery times are still running close to 6 months and there are long...
