The Furniture Insights report went on to say that orders for the year were up over 2013 for 74 percent of Smith Leonard’s participants. The firm noted that as one of the highest percentages of participants reporting increases in some time.

Furniture orders have bene up 20 of the last 21 months, and 2-13 orders were up 6 percent over 2012.
