I'm sitting on some of it right now. Could you post a fact once, instead of a feeling?
Not saying you're wrong, but some proof would be nice. Occasionally. Please. With overpriced subsidized American sugar on top.
see the post above, the decline in furniture manufacturing jobs in north carolina is well established. and so is the trend of moving furniture making offshore to china. stores like walmart and costco and other big box places have displaced much of the traditional "small store" furniture sales, and they sell chinese made stuff exclusively. It may be different with office furniture like Steelcase and Herman Miller, but home furnishings is another story.
