It uncovers trends and makes forecasts for the next three years. Several chapters deal with export/import opportunities. All industry segments are covered including household and office furniture, kitchen cabinets, plastic and metal furniture, and sleep products. Distribution channels addressed involve independent retailers, chain stores, department stores, franchise operations and more. Contributors to the handbook belong to the most respected and knowledgeable experts in the industry.

Selected chapters can be purchased as stand-alone reports at a price of $785.00 each. If you buy 3 or more chapters, you qualify for a 20% discount.

In order to keep the handbook at the forefront of new developments, revised chapters are issued approximately ten times per year. Our clients have the option of participating in an "up-dating plan", in which case they receive all forthcoming chapters with a preview privilege. Clients are under no purchasing obligation. If they find some of the chapters of no relevance, they can return them for full credit. This flexible scheme allows them to build up the handbook according to their own individual needs. Also, participants to the up-dating plan will receive the selected chapters at a 50% discount of the full cover price ($392.50 each instead of $785.00).
