When it is approaching the end of the year, auto makers start to roll out new models and collections of their product lines. Designers around the world are doing the same thing for furniture. If you have yet own a platform bed, you may want to get a 2008 or even 09 collection for your bedroom. It adds another layer of “modern tasting” to your house.

So even when they got a tight space in the bedroom, they are still reluctant to buy a storage platform bed. Now this Emiselene bed proves that a storage bed can be as stylish as a regular platform bed. Who wouldn’t love the curving structure with the concealed storage space?

Buying furniture can be a daunting task as it may represents a big investment in your life. Just 10 years ago, you probably will drive to your local furniture store and talk to the store manager. What if the store nearby does not carry the piece you wanted? What would you do then? You may choose to wait or you may drive further for a greater selection. Nowadays, the situation is totally different. What you can do is go online and look for sellers online. Home & Bedroom is great source if you look for furniture online. They carry a wide seletion of bedrooms made by reputable manufacturers. For example, Hillsdale Furniture is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of home furnishings and Fashion Bed Group’s innovative design has made it a leader in the manufacture of contemporary beds. Whether you are looking for platform beds, sleigh beds, metal beds, brass beds or any other types of beds, you can always find out your dream pieces at Home & Bedroom.

As we know, online sellers usually provide better prices than local physical stores since they bypass the middleman. However, this may not be the case if you have to pay shipping fee. A high shipping fee usually absorbs the benefit you get online. AT Home & Bedroom, you get free shipping and what’s more, there are no sales tax applied. All these ensures you get the best price possible and thus maximize the value you can get by shopping online at Home & Bedroom.

In Sweden, Ikea employees do noticed a change in retail strategy from this global furniture giant. According to a memo, the Swedish company will focus on in-store experience as the only sales channel. Don’t take this wrong, Ikea will not discontinue its e-commerce in United States. According to the memo from Dahlvig dated Dec. 7, the focus on in-store efforts is the result of a decision from Ikea’s board, a decision based on the belief that Ikea “can give customers the best offer and the lowest price by making the range available only through Ikea stores.”  This shift in strategy was mainly due to the high cost of running e-commerce in Sweden. 

Under the Byrd Amendment, a couple of US manufacturers received $35.1 millions duties collected on Chinese wood bedroom furniture by US Customs and Border Protection. This represent a 61% increase from last year’s 21.8 million disbursement. Among all the manufacturers, Stanley Furniture received the largest payout amounting to $8.9 million. Companies that were not original petitioners that are seeking duties this year include Ashley, Furniture Brands International, HM Operating Inc., Kimball, Thornwood, Witmer Inds. and Standard.

However, in my opinion, this is not a way for US manufacturers to compete with foreign competition, duties can not be collected and distributed year after year and the amount definitely can not be guaranteed. Outsourcing probably be a better way for the long-term strategy if US manufactures want to stay competitive in this market.
