Good thing those furniture sets are ugly as heck, isn't it?

I had the same thought.

But the furniture sales companies are getting the product dirt-cheap and selling it with very healthy markups, so I imagine that soon all of the bulk sales companies will be selling 100% imports.

I looked at another company, Bombay Company, and they are already 90% imports overall.

Depressing, because we can make good furniture here in the U.S. though admittedly most of what we have been making here in the U.S. for the last 20 years has been largely low quality product.

Thing is, there's a store just down the road from my house that sells American furniture. It's called "North Carolina Furniture," I think--they might've changed their name since the last time I was there.

I've never thought of Bombay Company as a serious furniture store--more like an accessory place. Need an overpriced, ornate-looking bowl? That's your place. Need a new armchair? Ignore it.

I still think you can tell imports from American with one simple method: the import furniture is terrible. And there might be low-quality American furniture, but at least it looks good.
