High Point Market Report Fall 2011
High Point Furniture Market this fall was the most positive in energy and attitude that we’ve seen in a few seasons; the slight uptick we had in the economy this year gave vendors the confidence to plan for growth.

There was a lot of focus on American made goods, which we really appreciated since we have always looked specifically for the Made in USA tag and it makes our job shopping so much easier. It’s always fun to see what [...]
