Seems like they’ve been on the edge of bankruptcy for decades. Not surprising this would finish them off.
I think stores like IKEA too a lot of their customers away from them. I’m not an IKEA type customer. I do not enjoy putting furniture together on my own. Would much prefer buying the finished product, even if I have to pay a little more. Obviously, many feel differently.
Styles change. They didn’t. Live by the wicker peacock chair, die by the wicker peacock chair.

indeed ...
Kind of like nursing home patients...anyone on the verge of death has been done in by Covid.
American retail has been so stale, so bad, so pathetic and over marketed, under qualitied for so damn long... in a way, it’s a good thing.
Remember the “Fear This” t shirts? That is when I knew that retail was dead, because in every store, in every mall, across all the USA that stupid T shirt was seen.
