The high-quality craftsmanship and styling of Thomasville furniture has made it from inside the home to outdoor living spaces. This spring, the company introduced two lines of outdoor furniture with the durability to handle the elements. Both are available at Home Depot and www.homedepot.com.

The Nature’s Retreat line (pictured) is made from hardy eucalyptus wood with an espresso finish and all-weather wicker.

The Summer Silhouette collection has a slightly more contemporary look, with cool gray upholstery and a rustproof aluminum frame with slate patina finish.

Each collection includes weather-resistant cushions and offers a seven-piece dining set, chaise, side table and umbrella. Nature’s Retreat also is available as a seating set with four lounge chairs, two bridge tables and a coffee table, or as a half-set with two chairs and a bridge table. Summer Silhouette includes a sectional sofa with ottoman.

Prices range from $99 for side tables to $999 for large seating and dining room sets.

The slump in the housing industry is knocking the stuffing out of furniture sales, merchants and analysts say.

A recent casualty is Domain, an upscale regional chain that is liquidating all 27 stores, including its showroom at the Promenade at Sagemore in Marlton.

“In the past year or so we’ve lost Levitz, Storehouse and Bombay Co.,” said Jerry Epperson, furniture industry analyst at Mann Armistead & Epperson in Richmond, Va. “It’s a very challenging time for the business.”

In a recent poll of dealers by Furniture World, a New Rochelle, N.Y.-based trade publication, 70 percent of retailers said orders were down. Read more »

Ikea-fanatics take note: Construction of the iconic home furnishing retailer’s first Ohio store here is about two-thirds complete, paving the way for its planned spring opening.

An opening date for Ikea’s 34th U.S. store hasn’t been set. But spokesman Joseph Roth said Tuesday construction of the 344,000-square-foot blue and yellow store off Muhlhauser and Allen roads should be finished in January.

That will allow Ikea employees to begin a two-to-three month “build-out” period to install storage racks, finish the store’s 50 different room settings and stock the 10,000 different items – from meatballs to sofas – that each Ikea store carries. Read more »

MONROE – Clayton Marcus, the last of three furniture units put on the selling block this year by La-Z-Boy Inc., has been sold to Rowe Fine Furniture Inc.

The sale of the upholstered furniture subsidiary was announced yesterday by La-Z-Boy, one of the nation’s largest furniture makers, and Rowe. The purchase price wasn’t disclosed.

Clayton Marcus, a maker of medium to upper-priced upholstered furniture, didn’t fit into the long-term strategy in the operations of the $1.6 billion a year Monroe firm, Kurt Darrow, president and chief executive officer of La-Z-Boy, said in a statement.

The deal follows last week’s announcement of the sale of Pennsylvania House by La-Z-Boy to Universal Furniture, with no disclosed price. Plans to sell the two furniture units and Sam Moore, a manufacturer of upscale upholstered chairs, were made known in February by the company. Read more »
