I went over to the SEC EDGAR filings and looked at Havertys, a large furniture sales company. From the management discussion in their 2003 annual report (my emphasis added):
During much of 2003 our focus was to seek values with imported product offerings and to explore how we might better source and flow those goods. Our core furniture merchandise comprises approximately 85% of the furniture items, excluding bedding and accessories, which we carry in all of our stores. Additional products that are more regionally focused and items needed to merchandise our larger retail stores supplement the core furniture merchandise assortment. Of our core merchandise groups at December 31, 2002, imported products comprised approximately 37% and this increased to approximately 60% by the end of 2003 as new products were received and displayed in our showrooms. Wood products, or “case goods,” are generally imported, and so only 20% of our selected case goods at December 31, 2003 were produced domestically. Upholstered items are not as heavily imported, with the exception of our leather products, of which almost 100% were imported during 2003.The Havertys Collections lines are approximately 80% imported with virtually all case goods and leather items being imported. We believe for the selected imported items we purchase, we achieve substantial savings as compared to domestically produced similar products.
Here are some pictures of Havertys' offerings in leather couches, which as I read their SEC filing, are imported (mostly from China, though there is some movement of production to even cheaper Vietnam according to the most recent 10Q.)
