June 2014 Furniture Insights
New orders in April 2014 were up 13 percent over April 2013, according to our latest survey of residential furniture manufacturers and distributors. We expect that some of this large increase is due to the fact that the High Point April Market was early in 2014 (starting April 5) versus a late market in 2013 (starting April 20). With market starting early in the month, there is more time to record after market orders in April. We will see if this affects May order rates. Approximately 77 percent of our participants reported increased orders in April, up from 62 percent in March.
