In this exclusive analysis from Furniture|Today, households buying furniture and bedding at lifestyle furniture stores are compared with households buying at the industry's largest channel of distribution, traditional furniture stores, where furniture is the store's total business or single-largest category. Examples include Rooms To Go and Havertys, as well as local independent furniture stores. Lifestyle furniture stores such as Ikea, Pier 1, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Cost Plus World Market and Restoration Hardware accounted for 5% of the furniture and bedding sales at retail in 2006. That's according to results from Furniture|Today's exclusive Consumer Buying Trends survey. 2 pages - Available as a downloadable PDF document ONLY |
