FURNITURE ASSOCIATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA

Sept. 1999; 59 Pages; US$ 785.00
Order #: F110_1999AO

The book provides a first of its kind description of 51 associations for furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and industry suppliers in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Apart from detailing the associations' purpose, services, membership structure and fees, we critically evaluate their performance. We conclude that there is a certain duplication between some associations and the quality of services is sometimes less than what is claimed in the promotional literature.
